Whoo! Okay, another one is up for reading and i have to warn you all now. Two more fics are coming out! Well, sort of, i wont continue them if i dont get reviews to tell me to do so, but oh well. Still FUN! Though they are a bit more dark, like my usual style. Also I'm still thinking about my other one for this one with Kiba and Shika which would be an odd pair for me to write...hmmmm...

Chapter Five: Pretty in Pink

Today Ino transferred into my first period class, she walked in blooming with a bright smile and took a seat right next to me in the very back instead of Sakura who was seated in the very front glaring a whole in my head. Sasuke punching or not, it looks like we are still on good terms for now. "Hey Naruto, I meant to warn you about Sakura ahead of time but it looks like you already have an idea of what's going on."

"Kind of?" I answered in the quietest voice I could, I would hate to be caught talking in class by our teacher, "I imagine it has something to do with Sasuke?"

"Yeah, she's is a good friend of mine but sometimes she takes things to far." Ino said, it was the first time I ever heard her use a serious tone of voice, maybe she forgot to get high before coming to class today, "Just be careful okay? She has a tendency to start rumors, usually true deeply hidden secrets, and it's just terrible what happens as a result sometimes."

I smiled to reassure her, "Don't worry I'll be fine." But in the back of my head there was only one thought of a threat that came to my mind, only one thing that nobody knows about. Iruka's night job.

"Are you sure? Don't underestimate her Naruto." Ino warned, despite the tense feeling in my stomach I still smiled at her and nodded.

"I won't Ino." I reassured, scratching the back of my head. Oh, I'm such a lair.

"He had no right to hit you!" voiced an angry Shikamaru when I walked into my fourth period class. Shikamaru doesn't even have this class; I guess he just followed Kiba in here from some other class to continue an argument that he really could have just continued at lunch the next period. "I don't care how many times you hit back, or that you were in a heated argument! You're friends, fight over less stupid things!"

"Do I look like I'm wearing a mini-skirt to you? I'm a dude okay; dudes sometimes fight with other dudes it fucking happens!" Kiba replied, swinging his phone around as he talked with his hands, "It's nothing, and you aren't the type to make something out nothing Shikamaru so what? Are you just looking for something to fight with me about?"

"You know what, you're right, I have better things to do dude." Shikamaru replied, starting to walk away, "Why do I even bother?" he asked me as he passed by on his way out the doorway. I would answer if I got why too. I mean they obviously care somewhat about each other, but I always figured that Shikamaru cared a little bit less than Kiba about most things.

But I've been wrong before.

I took my seat next to Kiba who instantly started to complain, "What the hell is his problem? It's just a black eye, and hey it makes me look tough with a bad boy edge, got a new girlfriend yesterday because of it."

"Another one?" I asked, not really all that surprised considering he just broke up with the first one. You would think one of the girls would send out some type of female memo around campus telling everyone to avoid the dog but I guess not. "How many does that make now Kiba?"

"Oh shut up, don't be jealous." Kiba replied with a smile before turning to his phone again to text, "You're hanging out with me after school still right? Or am I getting the wrong day again?"

"Yeah." I said, we had to work together on homework but it was really going to turn out like it always did. Kiba and I would play games, he might show me one really weird porn-related thing and then we will eat while I listen to him complain about Shikamaru or breaking up with his girlfriend at the current time. Then Kiba would haggle with Shikamaru to get the answers and we would all manage to pass with some obscure score we pull out of our ass so we don't get caught.

Today that's exactly what happened, except he was really more open to questioning Shika's behavior more than usual. It was all the usual stuff of one of my awkward days, until he was driving me back to my house.

I saw it first, Kiba was still blabbering on about Shikamaru, Kiba talks more than I do about everything, I don't know why but it was just easier for me to notice that in this moment,"I don't understand that guy, one second nothing matters and the next he's freaking out over something completely stupid-" That's when he was what I was looking at. "Are you going to be good? Or do you want some back up? Cause no offense but you fight like a girl, and not one of those strong chicks you see who do gymnastics, more like the anorexic kind." Kiba asked as we stared at the Sasuke sitting on the sidewalk curb outside my house.

I thought they were the same kind of girl, but I guess model would fit better with the sterotyping?

"No its okay, if he does anything I'll just have him arrested." I answered with a smile, deciding to laugh at his teasing instead of retaliating, as he pulled the car to a stop, "One night of jail love can fix a bastard ya 'know?"

Kiba laughed at the words "jail love", our favorite inside joke. "Alright, call me later I'm getting the answers from the math homework from Shithead and he's too lazy to give them out to all of us."

"Okay." I said, getting out of the car, "See ya!" then I watched the only person around for miles that could possibly help me drive off and leave me with an irritable maniac bastard. I walked forward like I didn't see him and tried to walk around him but he was quick as hell and blocked my way.

"Just wait a second." He said, grasping one of my shoulders to keep me from moving, I struggled to pull away and he let go. "Look I don't want to fight, just tell me what your problem is?"

"Really? Just go the hell away, this is my house why not just harass me in school?" I avoided the question with a question, granted it was more rhetorical than literal but still, it works. He grasped on to me again, I'm too tired to do this but there is no way I'm going to let this bastard win. I shoved passed him, hoping he would reach out and punch me again so I would have some kind of good excuse to kill him. I managed to get the front door open before his words hit me, "I'm sorry!"

I turned around to see Sasuke throwing his hands in the air, walking backwards away from my house, "I'm sorry okay, Naruto?"

I closed the door behind me without another word, unsure of what to think.

Alright! Anyway, SOMEBODY OUT THERE WRITE SOME SHIKATEMA! ALL I WANNA DO IS READ SOME SHIKATEMA AND THE MOTHER FUCKERS ARE GOING EXTINCT! T_T I will completely forgive you for not reviewing me ...just please, feed my addiciton.
