I am not gay

N2

I own an original story, this is not that story

I heard a red headed giant on the other side of class chuckle, and turned my head towards the sound, when the teacher asked "Is there something funny, mister Scales?"

"No sir." the guy who with the build of a boxer replied, quickly quieting down, but apparently whispering something funny, as the teme from earlier chuckled in response.

"Mister Uchiha, please stop with the interruptions, so everyone can study the syllabus and start their reading." the teacher said, still not bothering to tell his name to the class.

"Yeah, let the teacher read his porn already." I interjected from across the room. "Good one, perhaps you'll learn some day." Kurama said in the back of my mind.

"Naruto," the teacher answered, icily. "give me one good reason not to have you in the disciplinary program on your first day already."

"The signed original manuscript of the yet to be released Icha Icha Tactics? As Jiraiya's grandson, I have access to it." I said, leaning back in my chair. "Hook, line, and sinker." I told kurama, "he is the president of gramps' fanclub, Kakashi if I recall."

"Out, Naruto. I'll see you again after class." Kakashi said, now furious, or at least that's what the visible part of his face was meant to make people believe, before he dove back into his book. Acting like it was the most common thing in the world, I grabbed my backpack, put it on, and moved past Kiba.

"Don't you dare!" Kurama yelled in the back of my mind, "I'm not gonna help you again, kit."

I opened the window, and hopped out, earning a few surprised yells, and as I walked away from the building to go see my grandpa, I heard Kiba barking with laughter.

After class, I snuck back in as the others exited class, handed the book to a giggling teacher, yes giggling. "That is creepy on any guy."

"Guess for once we agree, kit. That is creepy." Kurama grudgingly agreed, "but I suggest you get used to it, he is the husband of Teme's uncle."

"That is gross, Kurama." Naruto argued, "How would they even..."

"Want the graphics or will the verbal explanation do?" Kurama chuckled, "The same way I'm gonna do Sasuke next chance I get."

"Kurama, shut up you stupid fox, there won't be such a chance." Naruto bit back.

"I'm a person too you know?" Kurama replied in mock insult as I walked into the second class of the day and took a seat besides Hinata, "I won't let you drag me along with your denial." then he took control of our eyes, just cause he could, and stared at the door as Sasuke walked in, while I talked of nothing with Hinata and asked her to meet me in my dorm for a movie and a pizza, strictly as friends, we both knew it would be strictly as friends again... like usual...

At lunch, me, Kiba and Hinata dropped on a table with Karin, by my urging. On the table sat also a huge muscle guy, a pale guy with piranha teeth, and Teme. I now finally recognised him as the wallflower from her birthday party. "And a pretty wallflower indeed." The kitsune bastard chuckled in the back of my mind.

I chose to ignore him as Karin spoke up."I'm sure most of you have seen each other once or twice now, but I believe introductions are in order. Naruto, these are my friends, Sasuke and Juugo, and the annoyance of my life, Suigetsu."

"Hey, I'm not that bad, you bitch." Suigetsu responded, almost as if he had rehearsed the line.

"Not everyone has the brain capacity needed to have to plan his comments in advance, you know?" Kurama choked out between his laughter.

Shoving Suigetsu out of his chair, she continued, "guys, this is my cousin, Naruto, joined by Kiba and Hinata."

"Pleasure to meet you." the teme spoke with a stick up his ass.

"Same here." I replied, then Kurama took over and continued "But are you not forgetting to introduce someone, Karin?"

I quickly forced him back down. "Sorry about that, please ignore my comment." at which I got a few strange looks, so I decided to stuff my face with my meal to keep from having to comment any further. I really wished I was a slower eater though as this earned me even more strange looks. I choked on it, and kiba needed to help me. I just could not handle it anymore at that point, grabbed my bag and ran. Hinata tried giving chase, but lost me near the vending machines.

I made my way to the roof of the school, where, surprise surprise, Shikamaru lay, watching the clouds. "KITSUNE BAKA" I yelled in our mindscape. The usual blue sky having given way to a thunderstorm. "How dare you reveal yourself to strangers without my permission?"

"You are not the only one who is trying to build a life for himself, NARUTO." Kurama growled back. "After all I did for you I think I deserve something for myself as well."

"I'll be very clear about it one last time." I growled in a tone that sent shivers down his spine, "You are not to have contact with the outside world in any way, shape or form without my explicit permission. Do I make myself clear?"

"Very, but a better question would be if I would obey that." Kurama argued in an equally deadly tone, "We both know I won't. Get used to it."

"KURAMA" Naruto yelled, before realising he had spoken out loud, easing him a strange look from Shikamaru, who muttered "troublesome" before returning his gaze to the clouds.

Then I stomped back down the stairs, just in time to enter class again.

There was a soft knock on the door of my apartment. For tonight, I was going for a perfectly imperfect look. It's the only thing remotely decent that my hair will allow. That, and Hinata, who comes from a world of perfection, simply loves it. I was wearing an open black jacket, and an orange blouse below it, also open slightly, revealing some tanned chest. My black pants were too low to be decent, yet too high to be inappropriate as I opened the door and invited Hinata in. tonight was her turn to pick a movie, so we would either be watching a romantic comedy, or some sing along movie, as those always leave us in good spirits. Five minutes later, there was fresh popcorn on the table, and a pizza underway as Hinata started Mamma Mia! Neither of us could really sing, but neither of us cared as we sung along every damn song of the movie, even Kurama was singing along in the back of my mind, only stopping to get the pizza from the delivery boy.

By the end we were both high on sugar from their drinks, and practically laughing about anything and everything. That is, until the time came that, like always, neither of us dared to ask the other what we both wanted to say, and an uncomfortable silence fell. Slowly, she got up, as I offered her her back and with pain in my heart escorted her to the door, showing her out. I then bolstered up all my courage, and gave her a quick peck on the cheek, in response to which she abruptly fainted. I lifted her bridal style, and carried her to the and her cousin's apartment. When I arrived there, Neji was just about to leave, but seeing me with an unconscious Hinata, he immediately flung the door wide open and guided me to the bed, where I carefully put her down. I glanced at Neji, and he asked "So who of you finally gathered the courage?"

"I did." I answered honestly, unsure how he would respond. "For a quick peck on the cheek."

"I see." Neji replied, "I guess you still have a long way to go... but perhaps, if things always are this awkward with you, you should consider not continuing this. And don't tell her I said that, that woman is terrifying when you're not around."

"I won't." I muttered as I walked out the door and back to my apartment, where I gracelessly fell on the bed, and went out in an instant, knowing Kurama was already trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the night.

A/N Any guesses as to what Kurama is gonna do? Or where Neji was about to head off to? Next chapter will be Sasuke again, so answers may or may not have to wait. Next up is Itachi's decision though.
