Sasuke was currently glaring at the class that was laughing at his misfortune. Apparently he had not been mistaken when he had previously concluded that Naruto would definitely cause some trouble, but the Uchiha had not even dared imagine that this could happen.

Sasuke had woken up later than he should have. His morning routine had been completely ruined and as a result of the late awakening he was forced to skip breakfast in hopes of getting to school on time. His troubles did not end there. No, life would just be far too easy if everything had stopped there.

The second worst part of his morning was when he arrived at the school parking lot and began digging through his suitcase. With a groan he realised that he had forgotten the tests he had given some of his classes yesterday. Sasuke grumbled internally about his own stupidity and untypical forgetfulness. He then managed to regain some ounce of self-control and decided to make his way towards the classroom. When he looked at the schedule his eyes widened slightly. He had to teach the class that blond kid was in.

'What was his name again?'Sasuke thought as he walked down the corridor.

Too busy contemplating whether the blue-eyed student's name was Naruto or Naruko, Sasuke did not notice that the door was slightly parted. His ears did not register that annoying sound or metal rope swinging through equally noisy metallic rings or a bucket full of water bending. Before the Uchiha could even understand what had just transpired he was already wet to the bone.

Sasuke's face was reddening from all the anger he was trying to put under control. The hand he was holding his suitcase in was clutching the handle of it so tightly that the knuckles started turning white. His lower lip was trembling from the pent up frustration. The fire inside him was churning his insides so ferociously that even his left eye started twitching which only resulted in further laughter. And what Naruto said soon after only served to further anger the dark-haired male.

"Oh God, he's so pissed that even his eye's twitching! Ahahahahah!" Naruto yelled as he bent over from the pressure that had bubbled up in his lungs. His face had turned a bright shade of red as had Sasuke's, though the reason for the troublesome colour was completely different and the whole class knew it.

As time passed the students began quieting down, noticing that Sasuke, too, had started inhaling deeply with eyes closed, though he was still clenching his suitcase rather hard. The teacher made a few steps towards his desk. He then put his suitcase on it and used the desk as a way to support his weight. He rested both of his hands on one end of it as his bangs covered his face.

Most of the students noticed the way Sasuke's shoulders began shaking and as a result put an end even to their chuckles. Some resorted to whispers, but soon realised that it was not the wisest decision and shut up as well. The only people left laughing were Naruto and Kiba, though the latter was a bit more observant and noticed earlier than the other that their teacher's posture was a peculiar one. He elbowed Naruto rather hard and as a result left his blond friend gasping for air.

Before Naruto had a chance to protest or catch his breath dark chuckles filled the room. Those throaty laughs turned into maniacal cackles as time passed, successfully sending shivers down most girls' and even some boys' spines. Sweat trickled down Naruto's face as he gulped. He would've probably started shaking soon had Sasuke's insane laughter not ceased.

Blue eyes watched carefully as Sasuke's shoulders moved up and down, a sign that he was trying to calm down. Naruto sighed as he closed his eyes. At that moment the blond was starting to regret what he had done. Perhaps he had gone a bit overboard. He could've shown his dislike of his new teacher in a different way. He could've talked louder in class, protested more when he was given an assignment and talk back to the Uchiha. Naruto could have even done something harmless like hide the chalks or…

"That was quite funny, I have to admit." Sasuke suddenly said, successfully ending Naruto's train of guilty thoughts and making the boy yelp.

"What?!" Naruto exclaimed.

Sasuke chuckled as he pushed himself off the desk and carefully made his way towards the boy. His steely onyx orbs met with confused and fiery blue ones. Those dark depths captured Naruto's endless oceans in a trance, one that the blond could not easily escape. It seemed that Naruto had been right the first time he had seen Sasuke. It appeared that the Uchiha managed to draw Naruto's attention in a peculiar way. It seemed that there was some sort of magnetic force that pulled them together and no matter what it had in store for them, one thing was for certain – it certainly was going to become a big change in both of the males' lives.

"Challenge accepted." Sasuke said in a serious tone as his eyes locked with Naruto's, this time burning with equal fervor.

Naruto was still slightly dazed, but managed to recover rather quickly for he smirked and met Sasuke's gaze with one that, too, was blazing with determination. Soon a small smirk grew on Sasuke's face after Naruto nodded. However, it was only a ghost compared to the blinding one Naruto was wearing.

After their little staring match was over and done with Sasuke made his way towards the front of his class, shed off his coat and began his lesson. Some listened, others were too busy staring out the window or musing about topics that had nothing to do with Math. There were even students who were preoccupied with staring at their teacher's broad back. Their eyes took in a few more details than they normally would've been able to because of the fact that some of the wetness of the coat had seeped into Sasuke's shirt as well. And if Naruto had to be honest, his attention was attracted by that tempting sight as well.

A/N: A huge thank you to all of you who followed, favourited and reviewed. I want to thank those who read the previous as well. Thank you for giving this plot bunny a chance.

I apologise for the shortness of this chapter, but, quite frankly, it felt complete to me. I thought about putting more into it, but realised that it would change the purpose of this second chapter, which is to establish the first stage of Naruto and Sasuke's err, relationship? :D Anyway, please leave a review, telling me what you think. If you really liked the first two chapters, perhaps you could favourite it or follow it? The choice is up to you.

Until next time,
