Chapter 2 Loneliness
Naruto moved along the classes hoping the day would be over as the heat began to grow stronger. School happened to be earlier than what a normal high school began to start which is around the time of fall. Wiping the sweat from his brow he yawned finally attending his last class for the day. His cellular rang loudly after class as he puts it to his ear hearing his older brother talk.
"Hello?" Naruto answered as Kyuubi gave a grin on the other line.
"How was the first day of school?" He asks and Naruto gave no reply.
"Made new friends?" Naruto still did not give an answer.
"Need to take care of things at home so you can come by and we can spend time together just you and me okay?" Naruto heard the phone hang up closing his phone walking down to go get some dinner in the cafeteria.
People crowded the area and he saw Sakura and her friends waving at him to come over. Being cautious of his surroundings he grabbed his food quickly and went down to the table besides them enjoying some chicken Alfredo for dinner. Sakura and the crew walked over sitting around Naruto who try to keep some space to himself.
"So Naruto how was the first day of school?" Sakura asked.
Naruto picked at his food no longer wanting to eat it anymore.
"You are not much of a talkative person are you?" Kiba informed and Naruto still kept quiet.
"Hey what's your class schedule!" Ten-Ten exclaimed and people took out their schedule.
Kiba gripped the yellow sheet and looked over it before looking at other people. Naruto grasped his schedule back still poking his food and people looked at him differently when Naruto looked up only to look back down. Sakura coughed a bit to relax her voice before asking Naruto a question.
"Tell us about yourself?" Naruto stood up throwing away his trash only to be gripped by the shoulder making him flinch.
"You are scaring him Neji!" Ino hollered standing behind everyone.
"Naruto, this is Ino." Sakura announced making Ino huff when she grabbed onto Shino's arm.
"He knows who I am forehead since you introduced me at the history class." Ino told making Sakura stick out her tongue in an embarrassing fashion.
"Oh yeah since you know everyone… I didn't hear your name yet?" Ino faced Naruto who looked up and whispered.
"I-I'm Naruto." He told and people looked at him then back at Ino.
"Nice to meet you, Naruto." Ino took her hand out to shake as Naruto held the finger shaking it.
"Okay?" Ino retracted her hand when suddenly a loud voice boomed all over the cafeteria.
"NARUTO!" A young blonde hair woman yelled running over with her hair in several places.
She held a large stack of papers being closely followed by a young woman named Shizune. Arriving to where Naruto sat she held him tightly ignoring the flinch looking at him.
"How are you Naruto?" She asked; the said boy gave no answer only to be hugged again.
"Sorry I had to leave early and… Oh hello people. I am Tsunade your new principal here in the school." She shook hands with all of them pulling Naruto with her.
"How does Tsunade-sama know Naruto?" Sakura asked and Shizune looked at her smiling.
"Some incident happened when Naruto was a young child and Tsunade took in him and his older brother. She was also the nurse tending to Naruto at the time." She told and people looked at her in shock.
"He doesn't have any parents?" Neji asked and Shizune shook her head.
"No he didn't. You can maybe ask Naruto if you like." She left to go with Tsunade and Naruto.
"Naruto, I am the principal now so you can call me whenever you want to okay?" Naruto gave no reaction.
"Don't be scared plus I can call Kyuubi when needed to be alright?" Naruto looked up and nodded.
"Naruto how is your condition?" Shizune asked and Tsunade immediately shushed her.
"I-it's okay." Naruto answered back fixing his bag on his back in a more comfortable position.
"That's good to know. There were no attacks while I was gone." Tsunade asked and Naruto shook his head no.
"Are you sure?" Tsunade got no answer back.
"Anyways, did you enjoy your time here at the school so far?" Naruto gave no answer.
"How was the school?" Naruto looked away pretending to kick something on the ground.
"It was too noisy." He told and Tsunade looked to see other people chatting about.
There was a whole bunch of people with different races and ethnicities floating around. Chatter was common among the groups with Naruto looking around. Sasuke came out of nowhere seeing Naruto speak to the principal before going to his next night class. Laughter boomed everywhere and conversations came about in different areas. People talked and introduced themselves to other people telling of their life before college and what they hope for in the near future.
"That's common Naruto for it to be a little noisy than it was at home." Tsunade pointed out.
They all lived together before and the house as Naruto remembered held a comfortable silence with occasional yells from Tsunade and Kyuubi.
"You'll be fine kiddo." Naruto gave nothing and was about to walk away only for Tsunade to stop him.
"Who is your roommate?"
"Sasuke Uchiha." Naruto replied and found him sitting alone reading a book at a table.
"Uchiha…!" Tsunade's voice boomed and the young raven looked up walking over wondering why the principal is calling him especially in a cafeteria no less.
Naruto back away immediately hoping that Tsunade will just let him be so that he can just sleep his restlessness away. Sasuke walked up closer spotting Naruto who looked beyond scared keeping a fair distance away.
"Are you my nephew's roommate?" Tsunade asked pointing to Naruto.
"Yes so what is the reason-"Tsunade took hold of his arm and Sasuke tried to free himself only to be right in front of Naruto who hollered running backwards.
"What the hell is wrong with him?" Sasuke asked and Naruto was up against the wall with a frightened look.
"Naruto this is your roommate so I am for sure he won't hurt you unless he wants to die too." Tsunade cooed at Naruto gently walking closer to him covering his eyes and softly taking the bangs away from his face.
"Right Uchiha…?"
"If he doesn't bother me I am just fine with that." Sasuke muttered and Shizune gave an affirmative nod.
"See he won't hurt you and you are just recovering so you better get to your room." Tsunade looked at Sasuke.
"What?" Tsunade smiled.
"You don't seem like an emo boy at all." She smirked and Sasuke shouted.
"I am not emo!" Tsunade laughed at the outburst.
"I don't care if you are emo or not as long as you don't hurt my boy here and you will be fine. Just make sure there is no blood stains on the damn floor when I go do a dorm check okay?" Sasuke gritted his teeth muttering back in a lower voice.
"I am not emo." He repeated and Tsunade grabbed Naruto pushing him forward.
"It's late and you two get to your dorms now!" She yelled and looked at the surrounding people.
"You all get to your dorms now!" People began to get scared running out of the cafeteria in hot pursuit.
"But I have class next?" Sasuke told and Tsunade looked at his schedule.
"You don't have that any anymore. Shizune take care of it will you?" Shizune gave a nod putting the sheet in her pocket.
"From now on you will not have any night classes." Tsunade told him crossing her arms across her chest.
"Take good cares of him will you." Tsunade left the area and Naruto was grabbed by Sasuke when he screamed.
"What the hell?" Tsunade who was not that far ran over.
"What happened?" Sakura asked and saw that Naruto was shivering.
"Never mind I will take him back to his dorm." Sasuke saw that he looked weak among them grabbing Naruto and pulling him away.
The young blonde screamed and kicked Sasuke in many ways hoping that the raven will let go. Arriving at the dorm after Naruto's protest they opened the room and Sasuke pushed him on the couch before moving to the bathroom. Naruto sat there holding his knees being scared out of his wits. He didn't want anyone to touch him ever since a long time ago and suddenly his roommate just grabbed his arm without his consent! Still sitting there he saw Sasuke wearing a new set of clothes looking at him.
"Why are you scared of human contact?" Naruto still gave no answer.
"Whatever I am going to sl-"He heard a whimper by Naruto.
"Please don't hurt me. I-I'll be a good boy. I just want to see my mommy and daddy." He whispered rocking back and forth.
"Naruto-"Naruto saw it was Sasuke lying down covering his face.
"Shhh…. It's going to be alright. I won't hurt you." Naruto saw through his eyes that he was not lying.
"Okay." Naruto calmed down and fell asleep.
"You'll be fine. I can hear your voices." Sasuke left the living room placing Naruto in his room.
He pulled Naruto's blankets over the young blonde's body before closing the lights and going to sleep for the night.
