Sasuke's POV:

I was in the principal's office, sitting next to Gaara and Kakashi-sensei. Gaara was telling the lie he had told before to the principal. I was so stupid, I had let my emotions take over, what was I thinking? That's the problem, I wasn't.

"Sasuke, are you listening?" Asked the principal

"Yes." I answered

"As I was saying, I had the secretary call your brother, he will be here shortly, Gaara you can go back to classes, you too Kakashi." He said.

After what felt like an eternity of awkward silence, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in" he principal said. Itachi came in.

"Sasuke what is going on?" Asked my brother.

"Please take a seat , your brother has beaten up a kid from his class today, as you may recall it isn't his first time beating up another student, last time he was suspended for a month but this time he may be facing expulsion."

"What?!" I yelled

"Sasuke shut up, let me handle this" Itachi ordered me. He was angry I could see it in his eyes.

"Isn't expulsion a bit harsh, I know that what my brother did was wrong but wouldn't suspension be enough? Please."

"Maybe if you would make a donation to the school I could only suspend him for a month." The principal said

"How much money are you asking for?" Asked Itachi

"10.000"

"Fine, I'll mail you a check" he said getting up. "Let's go Sasuke" he added. I got up and we left. I was waiting on Itachi to yell at me once we got in the car but he did no such thing, we didn't exchange a word until we came home.

"Sasuke, my office, now." I followed Itachi to his office and closed the door.

"What were you thinking beating a kid up?" He said after siting at his desk

"He provoked me Itachi, I know I shouldn't have beaten him up but he was saying these things about how he was in love with Naruto and wanted to take him away from me and -"

"Are you and Naruto dating?" Itachi cut me off

"Yeah kinda"

"That's nice, I'm happy for you Sasuke." He said in a calmer tone. "I am not saying you shouldn't have beaten him up, I know that if you did, you had a good reason to, but please Sasuke next time do it after school, in a park or something, because I can't afford to pay off the principal every time you screw up. I am not saying I don't have to money to do it, of course I have, there are just better ways to invest it in, so next time you feel like beating that kid for trying to steal your man, challenge him for a fight after school and go walk to calm yourself or something."

"Yes Itachi, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it, but because you are suspended for a month you are going to help me at work, starting tomorrow, got it?"

"Yes"

"Good."

I got out of Itachi's office and went to my room. I texted Naruto a bunch of times but he didn't answer.

Naruto's POV:

Gaara came back to the classroom before lunch break, Sasuke never came back, I guess he was suspended. When the bell rang at lunch time I walked over to Gaara.

"Hey" I said sitting next to him.

"Hey"

"How are you feeling?"

"I've had better days" he said with a smile

"I can't believe Sasuke beat you up, it doesn't look like him at all." I said looking at my hands

"You don't believe me?"

"I-I don't know Gaara."

"Naruto, why would I lie to you, I have no reason to lie to you, I swear." He said.

"Okay I believe you."

"Are you going to forgive Sasuke? Given you two are dating and stuff" he asked me

"I don't know Gaara, I love him, I truly do but what he did was wrong."

"You deserve better Naruto, Sasuke is a jerk, I heard Shikamaru say Sasuke had beaten up someone already before, that kind of behavior just doesn't go away, if he did it twice already who says he won't beat you some day if you ever do something to upset him?" Said Gaara

My eyes widened "No, Sasuke would never lay a hand on me, he loves me, he explained to me why he beat up Lee, it was self defense."

"But it wasn't self defense now, look Naruto you are my best friend and love you, that's why I think you should break up with Sasuke, before you become more involved with him, before it hurts more, before he can hurt you. I'm only telling you this because you I don't want you to get hurt that's all. It's just an advice, but you really should think about it."

"No, I'm not going to break up with him, I love him and he loves me."

"But Naruto what if he hurts you?"

"He won't okay? I know you mean well but please don't talk about this anymore."

"Okay, I'm sorry Naruto, I just want to protect you" he said softly

"I know Gaara, thanks" I said with a smile.
