Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or it's characters.
Naruto climbed the ladder to the top of their school. He didn't know why, but that was their base. Maybe it was because they all met there after the first week of school of their freshman year.
Naruto didn't see a point in attending classes, unless there was a test. Somehow he would ace all of them. He recalled opening the door to the roof and saw Shika. Both boys looked at each other questionably.
"Boring?" Shika raised an eyebrow at Naruto.
"Hehe," ruffling his hair Naruto replied, "I ace the tests anyways, so I don't need to show up. Not like they'll notice if I'm gone." He smiled at the pineapple haired boy. "Naruto." He bowed.
"Shikamaru Nara. I would get up but it's so much effort." The blonde boy laid down next to Shikamaru. "What does that cloud look like to you, Naruto?"
He stared at the cloud, squinting his eyes as if he would get a better idea. "Hm, it looks like a, a, a DOG?!" A small white puppy jumped onto his face, and started licking it.
"Bad boy!" A new voice said. "Come here!" Shika and Naruto followed the path of the running dog. The boy took a deep breath, "I'm sorry about that! He gets excited when there's people." He scratched the back of his head, "The name's Kiba. And this here is Akamaru." The dog barked and panted as his name was called.
Shika and Naruto looked at each other, then back at Kiba. "So, Kiba, what's your excuse for not going to class?"
"Well, they won't let him in class first of all!" Of course not, Naruto thought. "And secondly, I don't need to waste time in those places if I ace the test, right? I rather play with Akamaru, here." The puppy barked again in agreement. Suddenly the puppy took off again. "COME! COME HERE, BOY!" Akamaru trotted back with a bag of chips. Naruto could have sworn he saw an evil smile on that dog! Well, hey, he was hungry too, so he couldn't blame Akamaru.
"Give me back my food, ya stupid dog!" A fat boy reached down and snatched the bag of chips out of his mouth.
"Sup, Choji?:
Choji stopped chewing for a second. "Hey, Shika. Who are these people?" It was obvious he was referring to Naruto and Kiba.
"That blonde is Naruto and this guy with the dog is Kiba."
Choji looked at both of them. But he stared at Naruto the longest. "Hey, doesn't he look like that art guy? You know the one that-"
BOOM! The door to the roof fell down. The explosion caused the hinges to break. Another blonde, but with long hair, walked through the cloud of smoke. He stretched a little before he realized that wasn't alone. "Hey, hn. Well, I can explain, hn." He scanned the group, laying his eyes on the blonde. "Look, hn! It's my long lost twin, hn!" Naruto's so called long lost twin pounced on him, hugging him tightly. "I'm Deidara, hn. Like that explosion, hn?"
Naruto's eyes lit up. "Yes I love it!" He squeezed Deidara tighter. "It could be used for a great-"
"Prank!" Kiba finished and grinned at Naruto. Naruto asked him how he knew that he was going to say that. "Well, I would use it for a prank!" He answered.
The blond nodded. "Oh, I forgot," Naruto turned back to Deidara, "my name is Naruto."
"Can I call you Naru-chan? It sounds so cute! You can call me Dei-chan if you want to!" Dei-chan grabbed Naruto's hands.
"Oi!" Deidara's attention was drawn to Kiba. "I'm Kiba. That guy next to Naruto is Shikamaru." He looked over Naru-chan's shoulder to see a boy on his back, who turned to give a small wave. Kiba continued, "The fatty over here is Choji."
Silence. Shika suddenly jumped up. His eyes grew wide. Naruto looked at him, confused. "Fatty? FATTY?" Choji stopped eating and dropped his chips. Akamaru whimpered and Kiba stood in place, dumbstruck. That was the day when they learned fatty was a taboo word around Choji. Kiba lived somehow, escaping with only some bruises and cuts.
Naruto couldn't remember how they met Pein or Konan. Before he knew it, the group was labeled as the school's infamous Dead Lasts. The Dead Lasts never came to class unless there was a test, pulled pranks (mainly Kiba, Naruto and Deidara), and in general caused chaos. Even though the school was filled with delinquents, they were the worst. How? He wasn't really sure. Well they got in the most trouble by far.
"Oh Naruto! What happened to you? I couldn't find you after the paint-" Kiba was cut off by Pein.
"You mean pein…t." Pein's eyes looked at Naruto. The blond chuckled at the terrible pun. Pein smiled a little, pulling Konan closer.
"Naruto, you missed what the girls did after." Konan said. " They all were crying about their precious designer stuff and hair! So superficial!" She sighed. Konan wasn't into material items like a lot of girls. For the most part she couldn't care less what she would look like.
"Where did you go? After we ran, I couldn't find you where we were suppose to meet after!" Kiba gave Naruto his best puppy eyes. "You promised that we would walk back together! I'm hurt." Truth was that Kiba really did want to walk back with his best friend and his partner in crime. He wanted to plot the next thing to do! Oh well, he interally sighed After awhile of waiting, Kiba decided that he would get his alone time with Naruto again.
Naruto rocked back and forth. "Well, I ran into Gaara. I said hi, and that we would call later, but then…"
"Then what?" Konan looked curious.
"You remember that rich Academy kid I ran into?" Shika and Kiba nodded their heads. "Well he just appeared out of nowhere! I was afraid I was going to die! I seriously thought that he would have body guards appear to kill me or something! Thank Kami that Gaara saved me!"
Kiba frowned. He saw that raven pushing through the crowd at their performance. The Academy student looked like he wanted to grab Naruto from him and take him away! He thanked Gaara mentally for saving his partner. What would he do without Naruto? "Oi, where's Deidara?"
"I'm here, hn!" A voice sung. Deidara panted, sticking his tongue out slightly. He smiled at the group while trying to catch his breath.
Choji asked while chewing, "I heard you blew up the art store. Nice going."
Deidara held up his hands in defense. "Oh, no! I can explain,hn!" Shika gave him a look that said "go on, explain". "Okay so Naru-chan, you know how that guy was mean to us, hn. The red head. Well, I ended up sticking my left over clay we used yesterday on his blazer, hn. It exploded, and more than I thought, hn…"
It was quiet, he could hear the trees shake when the wind blew. "Pfffftttt, HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my god!" Kiba tried to lower his laughs. "How pissed off was that asshole?"
Deidara thought for a moment before speaking. "I was exiting the store, and he fucking jumped on me, hn! I thought he was pissed off about that fucking blazer, hn."
"What," Naruto pouted, "he wasn't?"
"No, he was fucking mad that I thought art was fleeting, hn! Fucking asshole, hn."
This time there was an awkward silence. No one was sure how to respond to that. They didn't want to start another lecture about art.
Neji's eyes twitched. Those Dead Lasts! "N-n-neji-kun, the p-paints almost out of y-your h-hair." Hinata finished up washing the pink paint out of his hair. They sat in the Uchiha's bathroom. Neji couldn't get the paint off himself, and Sasuke wasn't much help, so Hinata volunteered. "Y-you shouldn't b-b-be mad."
"I'm not mad! I am fucking pissed off! The fucking blonde Dead Last will go first!"
"B-but," Hinata's voice faded. She didn't know what to say. "N-naruto-kun…"
Sasuke's ears perked up. Naruto. That's all he needed to hear to listen in on the convo. He was interested in his blonde, though they haven't talked. Love at first sight, he assumed. No matter what he did, all he would think about was Naruto!
"That thing! People like him shouldn't be-"
Hinata's voice cut him off. "He saved me once. Naruto-kun isn't a thing! He's a person! If it wasn't for him, I would have been raped! You should be grateful, Neji-kun!" Her voice dripped with a new found courage. Both boys were speechless. She didn't studder at all!
Neji grunted. "He probably wants to have sex with you. After all he's probably after the money." Sasuke started to get angry. Neji didn't know this boy either and yet made accusations about him! He did save Hinata so he isn't much of an animal they claim those kids at the school are.
"N-no. H-h-he's…" She took a breath, and debated whether or not to continue. Neji demanded that she had to finish her sentence. "-ay." Neji tilted his head, which usually meant for Hinata to repeat it. "G-gay."
That was all Sasuke needed to hear. He had a chance with this boy! He need to find out more about him. "Foolish brother." That voice, Sasuke sighed. Itachi leaned against the door frame. "Who is this you all are talking about?" The last thing he needed was for Itachi to take away his blonde! He found the blonde first, so Naruto was his!
Neji cluncthed his fist before pounding it on the sink. "Some loser named Naruto from the poor people's high school."
Itachi smiled. It made Sasuke shudder. That was not a good sign. "Ah, I know him. Nice kid actually, quite funny, strong willed. What did he do this time?" Itachi knew Naruto? That must be a lie, Sasuke thought! He wouldn't let his brother claim Naruto!
Hinata and Sasuke took turns explaining what had happened at downtown. Naruto and Kiba, and then the rain of paint balloons. Sasuke made sure he left out the part where he followed the blonde. They didn't need to know that.
"Wow. Those Dead Lasts sometimes. I can't believe he went through with though." Itachi chuckled lightly.
"Dead Lasts?" Sasuke questioned.
"So you don't know? Foolish little brother. The Dead Lasts are the High School's infamous group of pranksters and lazy asses. Although they are actually pretty damn smart. Naruto said that they never show up to class unless there's a test." Itachi talked to Naruto? Sasuke felt his blood boil, but bit his tongue. He had to discuss this matter with him later.
Neji's voice caught Sasuke's attention. "How do you know a Dead Last? He must have done something to you! They are no good! Those fucking things."
"He works at a ramen place by the university. I was on my way to the car, and some guy pushed me down and took my wallet and work I.D. Once I got up, I ran after him. Naruto saw me when he was closing up the shop, he saw the guy and took off after him…" Itachi paused. Neji growled, Hinata blushed, and Sasuke had a straight face. "He caught up to the guy and gave me, my stuff back. The next day, I went into the ramen place, and thanked him. I'll visit him sometimes. He's good company."
Sasuke didn't care for ramen, but he had to meet Naruto. He decided that tomorrow, he would go by the university's restaurant area. Tomorrow, he would finally get to meet Naruto. The Uchiha was excited, hoping no one would ruin his time with Naruto.
"And that's what we did!" Naruto smiled into the phone.
"…" Gaara didn't say anything from his side of the phone.
"You know, I thought that raven haired guy was going to kill me! He looks like a teme! Doesn't he?"
"Naruto," Gaara warned Naruto, "don't go near that Uchiha. No matter what."
Gaara heard Naruto giggle. "I don't like temes! So don't worry!"
"Good." That was all Gaara could say. Both Jinjuriki boys said their good byes and hung up. The last thing, he needed was for Sasuke to ruin Naruto's life. If he did, Gaara would make sure that his children had sand in their hair for life.
Yay! I hope you enjoyed! I was making cosplays all day, today! I think I had enough cutting fabric for the rest of tonight. I'm sorry for all the bad jokes or puns. I try. I don't even know about the last thing I wrote about for Gaara. But sand in your hair gets annoying I guess. Reviews are nice!
