Punishment
Naruto continued to limp down the lifeless hallway slowly making his way to the front office. As he made it to the door, he took a pained, deep breath. Once he opened that door, he was going to not only have to face the consequences for fighting but also the man responsible for breaking his ribs. As soon as he opened the door the loud voice of the principles "personal" secretary called him.
"Uzumaki Naruto, have a seat over there. The Third Hokage will be with you in a moment." Tsunade said.
Rumor has it that she's being groomed to take the place of the old man when he dies.
"as if that will never happen. That old man is going to live forever.."Naruto thought as he limped toward the indicated bench.
The bench was not welcoming to his bottom, being hard as a rock, Naruto thought as he leaned back against the wall. The boy let out a sigh and looked around the office and noticed Kiba on the other side of the room. He was leaning back with his eyes closed and one leg propped up against the other. Even with his eyes closed Naruto could feel the arrogance coming from him and man he did look kind of cute.
"But wait! No I'm not gay! I like girls! Even if I was, why would I fall for such an arrogant prick like him?" Before Naruto could muse over this new development, he was snapped out of his thought by loud angry voices.
"Look I'm sorry we just can't keep you, the public is starting to notice these students' disappearances. What are you doing to them?" The old man roared. "All the evidence points to you being involved in the kids' disappearances and I've sworn to protect these kids with my life. If I find out that without a doubt you are responsible for this you will lose more than your job when I get through with you!"
"Sarutobi you are as senile as ever." said the angry low hiss of the former biology and anatomy teacher Orochimaru. "You actually trusted me with a job and that helped me with my experiments heh heh. When we meet again Sarutobi it will be our last encounter you can bet on that."
"Is that a threat?" Sarutobi asked.
"I don't make idol threats." Came the sugary voice of Orochimaru.
Just then the sound of scraping chairs filled the air as Orochimaru walked out of the office. For a split second Orochimaru's eyes lingered on Naruto, upset that he couldn't get him for his experiments. An orphan no one would know he's gone, who would miss him? Just as quickly as it happened, it was gone as the former bio teacher walked out of the office and school.
"Naruto, Kiba, please come in." said the tired old man.
Naruto walked towards the office and quickly sat down; the pain being unbearable. Naruto took this time while they waited for Kiba to grace them with his presence, to look around the room. It was a medium sized room with bookcases lined all around the walls filled with books. There was a round table in the back of the room, a throw rug in the middle of the floor, and a large polished oak desk with one comfortable looking chair behind it and two chairs in front of it. On the desk there was mounds of paperwork. The only thing that interested Naruto was what was on top a few folders. One was the former biology and anatomy teacher Orochimaru and the other two were Kiba's and his. Just then Kiba walked into the room and sat down, avoiding Naruto's gaze. The old man sat down behind his desk and took a deep breath.
"Where did I go wrong with him?" the old man asked more to himself then anyone else.
Naruto for once had a chance to see the old man up close for a good while and he noticed how old, tired, and fragile he looked. Naruto began to wonder what their punishment would be and as if he was reading his mind the man spoke.
"Now I don't need to hear your sides of the story nor why you were fighting but eye witnesses said you both hit each other at least once." the old man started "so as your punishment you both will clean the school everyday for the next week… even on weekends."
"WHAT!!" they both exclaimed in unison. "I have to clean the school with him!"
as they both pointed to each other.
"Yes, that is your punishment and it pains me to have to punish you both but it is what I must do. Now I want you both to go to the nurses office it looks like you both took one heck of a beating." the old man said chuckling "and Kiba by the way I will be notifying your mother of your actions."
"You have got to be kidding me!" Kiba exclaimed "If she finds out I've been fighting she will kill me."
"I have spoken and that is my decision." the principle said with an air of finality.
Naruto had to snicker as they got up to leave because for once he was happy that he was an orphan so his parents couldn't kill him for getting in trouble. That sure did wipe that smile off of that arrogant Kiba's face. Both boys left the office with their heads held low and walked silently towards the nurses' office.
Once inside the office, nurse Shizune quickly patched up Kiba's cuts and gave him some ice for his bruised cheek that had swelled. Naruto's injuries were more severe than Kiba's and he had to take off his clothes and put on a hospital gown before she could work on him. Naruto stepped behind the curtain as Kiba began to leave the office. On his way out Kiba walked past the undressing Naruto who was struggling to pull his shirt over his head Kiba took some sympathy on the blonde and went over to help. Once Naruto had his shirt off without even looking up he thanked his unknown helper and began to take off his shoes. Watching him struggle, Kiba helped him remove his shoes as well. By then Naruto was wondering who was helping him undress when he looked down his eyes connected with Kiba's.
"what the fuck do you think your doing?" Naruto shouted full of fear, excitement, and nervousness.
"Look dolt, I was trying to help you, it seemed like you were struggling" Kiba said.
"Well I don't need your help." Naruto said and began to take off his pants "Do you mind?."
Kiba decided it was better to leave at this point thinking better of sticking around but also a little put off that he didn't see more. Wait what am I thinking, seeing Naruto naked?
The thought grossed him out mentally but it sure got attention somewhere else. Kiba left the office and headed for the custodians office thinking that he would get started on his detention.
