Please no flames, I already warned about what this story would and would not have. If you don't like any of the above, then you don't have to read.
"I will miss you Naru-chan. Remember what I've told you..." Those last few words were whispered threateningly into Naruto's ear. The threat went unnoticed by anyone besides the young boy because it was disguised as a good-bye hug. It was also unfortunate that the other three adults were speaking to each other instead of watching the interaction between the pale man and the young boy.
Fear, it was constant in Naruto as soon as the man had showed his true colors, and those words only made it worse. Naruto felt his body begin to shake uncontrollably, and the tears were running freely down his face as the hand wrapped around him tightened on his hip. The force would be enough to leave a bruise. That one would fade quickly, leaving being unblemished skin. That was one of many things the man had discovered about Naruto.
And Naruto knew that he wouldn't breathe a word about it to threat was all too real, even more so to a child like Naruto.
"I hope you find the horrible man that did this to Naru-chan's face." The social worker sated with a grim face to the police officer that she was talking to.
"We're doing everything in our power to find him. It hurts the investigation that Naruto can't remember the face or where he was taken to.
"I don't think you should be talking about that right in front of Naru-chan, you're making him cry." The pale man still holding Naruto spoke over his shoulder but his gaze stayed trained on the little face that was turned away from him, eyes downcast and tears streaming freely. "Do you know where his next foster home will be? I'd like to keep in touch with Naru-chan." The small body in his arms tensed, and his eyes flickered over to meet the gold eyes staring hungrily at him.
"I'm sorry, I'm not free to disclose that type of information." The social worker replied. Her response made a look of rage pass on the pale man's face but it was gone in less then a second, no one except Naruto noticed it.
The shaking increased.
"That's too bad. I'll make sure to tell Sasu-chan and Ita-chan that you said good-bye, all right Naru-chan?"
The tear stained face froze for a second, eyes widening in horror. Then, with a shaky breath, his blue eyes closed, body slumped in defeat, and he nodded, not in agreement to the words but at the threat that laid underneath them. The man wouldn't have mentioned Naruto's friends other wise.
"Come, we have to go Naruto..." The social worker walked closer, making the pale man let go of Naruto, and stepping back so she could lead him away.
With a gasp, Naruto sat up in his bed, heart beating erratically and his breathing more then a little bit harsh.
A dream. Just a dream.
Well.
Not really a dream. Most of it was the truth.
But that was the past. It was long gone, never to bother him again.
Naruto could forget those words, could forget the pain, the anguish he felt every time they entered his mind. He hadn't seen or heard of any one of them since he'd been pulled to a new place, he'd been scared at first but over the years the fear had faded away.
Finally, he wouldn't have to worry about that man. He was beyond hurting him now. Years of not even a glimpse of him and finally, he could forget. Forget it all and move on. He was no longer a scared, defenceless child.
Finally.
Naruto wasn't ever going to be alone again.
After years of being forced to move from place to place. From family to family. Year after year of being forced to leave the few good friends behind, to leave him behind, it was finally over.
Finally, no danger, no pain, no fear.
He was finally done with it. He finally had the one thing that he's always wanted for years, ever since he could remember.
A family.
No longer would he be kicked from house to house.
From miserable, hopeless and terrifying situations because...
Finally, someone had seen something in him and wanted him.
Adopted him.
And now he wasn't alone.
Finally.
Chapter One: 3 Months Later:
The world ended.
"No..."
At least for Naruto it did.
"No..." The whimper escaped from his lips, not believing what had just happened.
"Aughhhhhhhhh!" Naruto frantically pulled at his hair in despair... Staring at the blank screen that was right in front on him.
He'd almost had it...
The last of his notes...
The last of his settings...
Documents...
Original plot lines...
Dozens of chapters written...
Older works that had just been there...
Waiting for him to start them back up again...
Fan fictions...
Gone...
All gone!
"Damn it all! Why the hell couldn't you have lasted just a little long? Why?!" Naruto frantically moved the power cord around, trying to get that little yellow light to flash on...to get the other blue light to stay on to show that the charger was connected. The yellow light would mean that the battery was charging... That the old friend he'd had for years still had a little life in him...
Just a little... Please.
Black.
Not even a blink.
No flash.
Nothing.
"Fuuuccccckkkkkkk!" Naruto screamed again, face twisting in frustration.
"Naruto! Stop screaming! And watch that language!" A voice outside his door shouted.
"No! It's dead! Dead! DEAD!" Naruto shouted back, slamming his forehead on the desk, narrowly missing the black keyboard of the laptop. "Whyyyyy?"
"Naruto! Quiet down! Some people have work to do!" The female voice shouted again.
"No! No! No! Nooooooooooooooooooooo!"
The stomping once again sounded outside the room, but this time, it didn't halt behind the door, it continued until they stopped next to Naruto who was still well on his way of giving himself a concussion.
"Naruto, would you quit it?! You're only going to end up hurting yourself. What the hecks the matter anyways?" Tsunade asked, debating whether to grab a hold of the blonde's hair to stop him. She really didn't want him to get any head damage, and the way he was banging his head, she wouldn't be too surprised if he really did end up giving himself a concussion.
"It diedddddd!" Naruto moaned, momentarily halting his head to desk movement as he glared heatedly at the old laptop in front of him.
"What died?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow, completely confused.
"My best friend... Tommy-chan! Please come bacccckkkkkk!" Naruto pointed to the ancient thing before trying to push the power button again. It was in vain, the screen stayed blank.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "You're yelling because your old computer died?"
"It's not just my old computer! He was the love of my life! And now he's dead! Dead!" Naruto moaned in despair.
"I got you a new one for school a few days ago, so why does that one dying matter?"
Naruto groaned. She didn't get it. She didn't get it at all. "I didn't finish transferring all of my files! They're gone! All gone!"
"You know, you can go take it to a computer store and they can take all that stuff out, right?" Tsunade said with an eye roll and the teen continued to lament the loss of the laptop, apparently he hadn't heard her words.
"I'll take you to one next week, so quit your crying!"
Naruto finally heard her words and brightened up immediately. "Really? I didn't know that! Thanks', Baa-chan!"
"Brat!"
Next Day:
Naruto walked into the hallway of Academy High, humming to himself as he dodged people that didn't seem to notice if he was in their way or not. He didn't really care if they saw him or if they looked right through him like he wasn't even there. That was fine with Naruto, he'd always been awkward with people, especially since they tended to dislike him no matter if he did something or not. Naruto didn't know whether it was that he tended to be loud and obnoxious at times or his name or even the fact that he was new to the school. People just disliked him.
That's why he'd learned to blend into the back ground when he didn't want to be loud. He was bothered less that way, making life a little easier. And he wasn't even lonely. School friends might have been non existent but he did have a few good ones, even though he'd never personally met them.
Ever since he'd started writing fan fictions, the whole world ceased to cause him as much pain or hardship. Now he lived for his followers online. The reviews, the comments, the private messages. They were his drug, his life. People online were friendlier then the ones he dealt with in his real life -besides his new adoptive parents and a few teachers of course. They actually liked him and wanted to be his friend. They wanted to talk to him, get to know who he was just because they thought that he was a good writer. It was fantastic. The first few times that had happened, Naruto couldn't believe it. Then Naruto stopped doubting himself and let his personality show through, making friends with anyone that showed the interest.
Naruto thrived. He was honestly surprised that he hadn't written anything for his fandoms before. Usually, it was random ideas for future books but never fanfictions. How he hadn't started sooner, he didn't know. It would have made life a little less lonely back then. Oh well, at least he had it now.
Just then his phone gave a buzz. Naruto fished it out and squinted to read the words that scrolled across the very top of the phone.
It was one of his friends on fan fiction, he'd known Haku for a few months now any they'd become fast friends.
Haku had read one of his fic's and had left a review, saying what he'd liked and what he thought that Naruto should work on. Naruto had immediately replied, wanting to thank him for the advice. He always loved reviews like that, they helped him focus on what he should work on and try to do better for the next time he wrote. From then on, they had messaged each other as often as possible. Then, they'd exchanged Skype information just a few days ago since they talked all the time on the website, and they'd deemed it easier to communicate through some other means. With a grin, Naruto opened the Skype app and tapped on the icon that said new message.
Haku-I just finished writing my first story last night. Would you beta read it for me? I mean, if you aren't too horribly busy? I would have asked yesterday but as soon as I finished it, I just passed out.
Naruto couldn't help but let a grin cross his face in excitement. This was the first time that someone had asked to beta read a story!
-Of course! Just send me the doc and I'll get to it as soon as schools out!
Haku-Awesome! Thanks a lot, Naruto!
-No problem, Haku!
Naruto let one more grin cross his face before stuffing his phone back into his sweater pocket and going on his way again. He really needed to get to his class, since he had a bit of time until the bell, he had to finish up some homework that he hadn't gotten the chance to even touch at home since he'd had his melt down about his Tommy-chan. When Naruto got to the room, the place was practically empty, not even the teachers were there. Quickly, Naruto took his seat at the back of the class and zipped open his orange backpack, taking out the homework and also a notebook he used to write his fan fiction ideas. Some pages had the outline of a story on them while others were the beginnings of chapters or parts of them. His gaze landed on the homework first, then at his notebook.
Against his better judgment, Naruto opened his notebook and started outlining a new story. He'd thought about it just before his old Tommy-chan died but hadn't gotten the chance to write it down yet.
"I'm going to regret this..." Naruto muttered to himself, giving his homework one last glance before completely forgetting about it and focusing on his new fandom obsession, Attack on Titan. He'd been reading fan fictions for that for a week straight and now he felt he was ready to get started on his own idea. It would only be a one shot, Naruto really didn't have the time to do more then that honestly. He'd been cranking out chapters left and right for his previous obligations, but he really wanted to do this because he was itching for it. The idea just wouldn't leave him alone, not one bit. That's why he knew that getting it done would quell his creativeness for the time being so that he'd be able to get out a few more chapters for his three main priorities. With one final grin, Naruto bent over the notebook. He wrote a few idea's before starting to put together a few words, then let it flow out, completely immersing himself in his own world.
Levi watched the new recruits with a critical eye as they began to train. Some of the newbies had potential. He turned to look for the one that wasn't like everyone else and his sharp eyes quickly found him over with Levi's squad. The kid was paying close attention to what Petra was saying, eye's constantly scanning the papers that were in front of them. Levi narrowed his own eyes, thinking. The kid was completely healed. It had only been a few days since he'd kicked the shit out of him, and right at that moment the kid was at one hundred percent.
Unbelievable.
Finally, Levi tore his eyes away from Eren Jeager. Why was he even thinking so much about him? Ever since he'd set his eyes on him as he'd been cut out of the titan...
And then in the cell.
The look in his eyes, the way he'd gazed at Levi through the bars...
It had been mesmerizing.
Exciting.
Levi had wanted to-
"Naruto!"
"Gah!" Naruto's head shot up, face immediately heated as he saw that everyone was looking at him, some of them were snickering into their hands.
When the hell had class started? How much time had passed since he'd started working on the story?
"About time you decided to join us, Naruto." The teacher, Iruka- sensei said, frowning down at the blond who's face was as red as a tomato.
"Sorry, sensei." Naruto muttered horrified as Iruka kept looking at him with a frown on his face before turning away, and back to the lesson that Naruto hadn't even noticed had begun.
A few people giggled, and some other's laughed outright at the look on Naruto's face. Slowly, the blond sank a bit deeper into his chair until he couldn't go any farther without sliding out of the seat completely. That had been embarrassing.
At least Iruka hadn't decided to read what he'd been writing. That would have been worse then humiliating. Yeah, he enjoyed when people read his stuff... but the people that read his fan fictions were usually looking for what he wrote. It was pretty hard to mistake a yaoi warning as anything else really. Now, these people... They would probably make fun of what he wrote. He definitely didn't want to risk them finding out about his hobby. He already got enough grief as it was, he didn't need to pile any more onto his boat.
Discreetly, Naruto slipped the notebook into his back pack and turned his attention to the lesson that didn't make any sense.
Algebra.
The worst subject that he had. No matter how hard Naruto tried, he just couldn't get the problems. It was impossible for his mind to focus on it and follow it through to the solution. Inwardly, he groaned in despair as Iruka passed out the worksheet for them to work on during the rest of the class.
It was a nightmare. Within minutes, Naruto had his head between his hands, staring down at the paper like he could set fire to it with the power of just his glare.
Not that anything like that would ever happen, no matter how much Naruto would wish otherwise.
What the hell was he supposed to do? How the heck was he supposed to solve the ridiculous problems? He was going to fail. It was already a given. Last year he'd passed by the skin of his teeth, but not this year. This year... this year Naruto was going to fail. He just knew it.
This time, the groan managed to go past his thoughts, luckily it wasn't that loud and only the people closest to him even heard it.
One of them just flickered his eyes over to Naruto before turning away again. The other one was stretched out on his chair, arms behind his head. His eyes stayed a bit longer on the blond before turning back to his study of the classroom ceiling.
Naruto managed to hold back his blush this time, the two that sat closest to him weren't that bad. They mostly ignored Naruto, though they did acknowledge him every once in a while. More then the rest of the student body, that was for sure.
One, Sasuke Uchiha, mostly kept to himself. He never really talked to anyone, but he was pretty popular with all the girls and he sort of hung out with a group that Shikamaru was included in along with several others. Though, since transferring into the school, Naruto hardly seen the broody teen speak more then a few words with anyone.
The other, Shikamaru Nara, that one did talk to a lot of people but he liked slacking off during class and wasn't really into over exerting himself. Now, with Shikamaru, Naruto had an ongoing obsession with. He was just so cool and sometimes Naruto would write character's with Shikamaru's personality for the fun of it. Smart, handsome, and athletic were good qualities, at least Naruto thought so. It didn't hurt that he'd never made fun of Naruto or been unpleasant at all.
Naruto would have loved to talk to either one, have an actual conversation and maybe become friends. It had all been a complete bust though since Naruto wasn't exactly talkative to strangers and most people ignored him, especially after learning his last name. People tended to give him an extra wide berth after that. Which is exactly what had happened after that first day he'd been at Academy High. Any potential friends quickly dropped off the radar after that fiasco.
Friends... Naruto used to have two close friends when he was smaller and still moving around in foster care, a long time before he was adopted by his Baa-chan... Their faces were blurred whenever he tried to remember them clearly... but no matter how hard he tried to picture them, nothing sharpened, features stayed blurred. He did have something, just one thing, but it helped Naruto to believe that he really did have them at one point in his life. To affirm that they had been real and not just a figment of a young child's imagination. Sasu-chan and Ita-chan. His nickname for them. Naruto could never remember the rest of their names, but those two nicknames had stuck with him. That wasn't the proof that they had been real though. Just before they had been separated- well that wasn't it... before Naruto was kidnapped and then found and then sent to a completely new city and foster home- the two had given him something to remember them by just before he'd been ripped from them. A toad wallet, or as he liked to call him, his Gama-chan.
Gama-chan was still with him, he was right in his pocket in fact. Naruto hardly ever took him out, he didn't want to lose the proof of his one time friendship with those two figures from his past. His Gama-chan would always be there. A constant reminder of a happy moment during a dark and unstable time.
Then he had had Gaara. Gaara, the one person that Naruto wished he could see again, touch again, kiss again. Naruto had fallen in love with him so hard. He had been Naruto's world. Then he'd been ripped away, like everything Naruto cared about tended to be. Since then, Naruto hadn't seen or heard from the red head. No matter how hard he'd tried, how hard he looked, nothing had come up, though he still had the hope that maybe one day he would be able to see him again, even if Gaara had moved on... just being able to look and drink him in was enough for Naruto.
Naruto had met Gaara when they'd both been freshmen at Suna High. Their friendship had been instantaneous. It wasn't that they were the same, Gaara had been more even more quiet and reserved then Naruto, it was also their similar experiences. People avoided Gaara like they avoided Naruto. That was how they'd been drawn to each other. The friendship had quickly escalated to love within months, and the two teens had been inseparable. Each went everywhere together. The only place they couldn't follow one another were each other's homes. Their relationship wasn't broad casted, but people had found out about it and it had been frowned upon by more then one person, including Gaara's dad and Naruto's foster family.
Thinking of Gaara always gave Naruto's heart a shock of pain. There hadn't even been a good-bye. One day he'd been there holding Nauto's hand, kissing his lips and then the next he'd disappeared without a trace. When Naruto had asked around, he'd found out that Gaara's father had sent him away to a private school. When Naruto had gone to inquire for Gaara's address so that he could contact him, Gaara's father had refused and kicked the blond out of his house. Shortly after that, Naruto had been sent to another foster home. That had been three years ago, and still no sign of Naruto's redhead.
Then there was Naruto's online friends. There was Haku, Kiba, and a few others from online. Naruto had hit it off with all of them really well. In fact, it had been incredibly easy talking to them. To bad none of them lived close enough to even hang out with, if they were, Naruto was sure that'd he'd never be alone ever again. But it wasn't meant to be.
Just then, his phone gave a low buzz, bringing Naruto out of his mini daydream of somehow meeting Haku in real life and seeing his Gaara again.
As sneakily as he could, the blond took out his phone and glanced at the screen.
Speak of the devil.
It was Haku.
Haku-Naruto! Are you close to making that new AoT fic? I really want to read it, I've already gone through all the ones on there already. I'm stuck at home sick and I've got nothing to do... I even managed to finish that essay I had to write...
A grin on his face, Naruto immediately started writing back as discreetly as possible.
-Sorry, Haku. I'm working on it now, but it's not going to be done for a few days... Why don't you try looking for a few other fandoms? I'm pretty sure that there are some great fics there. How about Black Cat?
Haku-... That actually isn't a bad idea. I'll look some up in a bit. What are you up to?
-Math...
Haku-Math isn't that bad.
-...You're so mean. Math is my worst subject ever!
Haku-Study?
-... You're not helping, Haku...
Haku-Haha, sorry. I know you can do it!
-Thanks for having so much faith in me but I fail at math.
Haku-A lot of people do, don't worry about it.
-If I fail, I'm going to have to be a senior again! I can't afford to fail another class!
Haku-...Naruto...
-Yeah?
Haku-Good luck being a super senior .
-Haku!
Haku-Don't worry, I was just kidding!
-No, it's entirely possible...that's that sucky part...
Naruto wilted in frustration as he once again picked up his pencil and focused on the paper. The phone slipped onto his lap as Iruka-sensei walked towards his direction. So, for the moment, Naruto ignored the vibration from the android and kept his eyes trained onto the awful paper with the evil problems all over its surface.
Okay, so he had to solve the equation... he had to... he had to...
What the hell was he supposed to do? The example made no sense whatsoever!
Finally, Iruka moved back to his desk, and Naruto glanced at his phone to see Haku's response. Except it wasn't Haku. It was an email. A new review had been posted on his Loveless fic.
With a grin, Naruto opened the email and quickly scanned though the message, his grin only getting bigger and bigger.

Review: Five Years Gone
KyuubiWriter,
A new review has been posted to your story.
Story: Five Years Gone
Chapter 8: The Lie
From: lovelyfan
Oh no! I can't believe it! Not one bit! Ahhhhhhh! Why did you leave it off right then!? I want to know what happens! You're so evil! But I love you! So please, please, please update soon! Gah, this chapter was so sad! My heart's still crying with Ritsuka! And Soubi! They need to hurry up and forgive each other!
Chuckling quietly to himself, Naruto placed his phone down again, the corner of his lips twitching on his face. He really loved getting reviews, they always made him happy. Even if they were a bit critical, it was good. They only helped with his writing. The only reviews he hated were the uncalled for trolls that liked to call him mean things for writing yaoi. Those, he always ignored.
With that in mind, Naruto looked around the room for a bit. He couldn't reply to the review yet, well he could but it wouldn't be detailed because he'd be rushing himself so that he wouldn't be caught by Iruka. So Naruto had to wait, though his fingers itched to get back on his phone.
Again, it vibrated but Naruto couldn't check because Iruka was right in front of him with a frown on his face.
"Naruto, how is your work coming along?"
Naruto groaned. "I don't get it!"
"Why didn't you ask for help?"
"Can you help me, Iruka-sensei?" Naruto pleaded, ignoring the looks he was getting from some of his classmates.
"..." Iruka-sensei sighed, before leaning over to explain the method again to his most clueless student.
Naruto still didn't get it even after spending the rest of class with Iruka-sensei helping him every step of the way. Not that he actually understood much of what Iruka-sensei was trying to explain.
Lunch:
The day was a bit windy, but Naruto didn't mind the air that rippled through his clothes as he sat outside on the school's roof, away from anyone else. He never ate lunch in the cafeteria, it was always too crowded and he never really wanted to deal with some of the looks that people sent his way. For some reason lunch was always the time during which his fellow teenagers liked to make fun of someone. Naruto being their number one target on that front.
With a sigh, Naruto leaned against the wall and took out his notebook and his phone. He hadn't been able to even glance at it for the rest of Iruka-sensei's class, and then Naruto had gone to Kakashi-sensei's Literature class thinking that he would be able to relax for ten minutes, but it seemed like Kakashi-sensei had, for once in all year, been in the room before any of his students and Naruto hadn't been able to do anything but read the assignment.
Kakashi-sensei had eyes(or eye, since he liked keeping one of his eyes and part of his face covered with a sort of half mask) as sharp as a hawk. Nothing slipped his notice, not a note passed by two friends, and definitely not someone pulling out their cell phone. A nice collection of phones, IPods, and MP3s were already sitting behind they grey haired man's desk by the first fifteen minutes of class starting.
Naruto would never let his phone out of his sight. Especially not with all the things he had in it. No chances needed to be taken, because with his luck, Kakashi-sensei would see somethings that would probably give him a heart attack. But then again, Kakashi-sensei was a pervert. Naruto had seen all those Icha-Icha Paradise books. Maybe he wouldn't have a heart attack but he would definitely be shocked. And Naruto didn't really want anyone to know anything about him. His liking yaoi was definitely on the top of his Never Find Out, and Keep Secret Forever lists.
At least he was a lot better with Literature then he was with Algebra, so the class itself was enjoyable.
Naruto had taken a Creative Writing class during one of his old schools and that had jump started his obsession with writing. Sure, he'd been dabbling in writing on his own before that, but he never really tried until that class. Ever since then, any class having to do with writing or reading was Naruto's favorite, including Kakashi-sensei's Lit. class.
With a smile, Naruto pushed the power button, and the screen flashed on, showing three icons at the very top. Two Skype messages and one email. With another smile, Naruto ignored the email for the the moment, and tapped open his Skype. Haku had sent him messages during the time he hadn't been able to look at his phone.
Haku- Well, good luck with that then...
Haku-I found a great Black Cat fic! It's got really great sex scenes too, I feel like trying them out...
Naruto couldn't help but blush as the words penetrated his brain. His mind showed Haku doing things he had written.
"Yup, I'm a pervert."
-Send me the link, I want to read it!
Haku- (Click Link) There it is! There's an OC paired with Train. Not bad at all, and the author catches your attention pretty well. Almost as good as you, Naruto.
-Aww, Haku! That's so sweet of you!
Haku-It's the truth. I've got to go, Zabuza's finally home!
-Alright, talk to you later!
Naruto couldn't help but chuckle. Haku was always so enthusiastic when talking about Zabuza. He didn't know whether Haku was with Zabuza but Naruto had a feeling that Haku harbored feelings for him. One reason he hadn't ever suggested a long distance relationship. Another was that he had so little friends, he didn't want to lose the few he did have by suggesting something stupid. That and he still loved Gaara, even three years later.
With a tap of the back button, Naruto opened the other conversation. This one was from Kiba, another follower of his from fan fiction.
Kiba-I just found out that my year is going on a field trip to Konoha. That's were you live, right?
Naruto's eye's widened in excitement.
-That's awesome! Maybe we'd be able to see each other?"
Kiba-That's what I was thinking! Though I'm a lot more... crazy in person so don't be to shocked about the differences.
-Don't worry! You're still Kiba no matter what! When is the trip?
Kiba- In a couple of months, we're going to be doing some research about something, I didn't really catch what.
-I could help!
Kiba- I'm sure you would! It's gonna be awesome!
-So awesome!
Naruto chuckled a little in excitement, his face stretched in a grin, and fist pumping the air. He was finally going to get the chance to meet one of his friends!
With that happy thought in mind, Naruto read the email, just someone updating one of the many stories that he was following, then clicked on the link that Haku had sent him.
Deep Cover, By: Chibibait69
Train slides his eye's from left to right, measuring, plotting, and trying to gauge the distance between him and his target, weird thoughts cross through his head that have never been there before.
Will he pull the trigger, or something completely unexpected happen? Something that could make his world explode?
Warning: Mature Content, BoyXBoy, Yaoi, Slash :Warning!
Naruto blushed at that last sentence before the yaoi warning. Maybe it was just him, but he got the impression that it had to be dirty. It just had to be. There was absolutely no way it wasn't dirty, he would be money on it.
For a few seconds, the blond debated whether to start reading, but with a bit of reluctance, decided against it. If what Haku told him was true, he didn't want to have a... problem while walking around the school.
With another grin, Naruto replaced his phone with his notebook and started writing. Words flowed and pretty soon he'd finished writing three pages. They would probably be just one on his laptop but it was a start. Naruto was so immersed with his writing that he didn't notice that someone had found him.
"Naruto-kun, you aren't supposed to be anywhere near this roof."
The voice brought Naruto's head up with a start. "Ahh! Oh...Shisui-sensei... ummm, you scared the crap out of me... ummm... I did not know that..."
Shisui-sensei raised that famous Uchiha eyebrow, the one that Sasuke and Itachi-sensei also had. "Naruto..."
"Fine! I knew! But I hate being in the cafeteria! All anyone does in make fun of me..." Naruto muttered, his blue eyes looked away from his teacher's, not wanting to meet them. To Shisui-sensei, he looked dejected.
Shisui-sensei sighed, Naruto heard it and he had to control the big grin that was about to erupt on his face. He couldn't let Shisui see it, if he did, Naruto's act would be for naught. The fact was that he didn't really care if people said, did, or even when they made fun of him. He really didn't. He just loved being outside, on the roof. It was peaceful, and the view always gave him ideas for his stories.
"I'm sorry Naruto, but you're not allowed to be here, you know that very well. If another teacher had found you, you would be getting detention right now. Imagine Orochimaru-sensei coming up here and seeing you." Shisui-sensei said, making Naruto wince at the very thought for an entirely different reason then Shisui-sensei was implying. He didn't think that anybody else noticed it but Orochimaru had been overly fond of Naruto since the first day he'd laid eyes on him. Naruto definitely didn't like it. Something about him just gave Naruto the creeps and made him extremely uncomfortable. Maybe it was his eyes. Naruto had seen eyes like his before and the results of it hadn't been pretty at all. He still had the scars to prove it right on his face and body. Three cuts on either cheek and several more through out his body. They had faded but would never truly go away, and would always be a reminder of that horrible time.

"Remember, don't tell. If you do it's not going to be pretty for Ita and Sasu-chan... Or would you like me to hurt them too, Naru-chan?"
"No! Don't hurt them, please!"
"Then remember what I said..."
"I-I won't tell...so please don't hurt them..."
"Good boy, Naru-chan. Now, come here. I'm going to play a game with you."
"A-a game?"
"Yes, a game."
"Wha-"
End Flashback
Those words made Naruto's throat constrict and a light sheen of sweat break out on his brow and he leaned his head forward to hid from Shisui-sensei's gaze. It had been a while since he'd thought about that, that voice with the promise of torture and pain. The helpless feeling grew and Naruto took a deep breath, trying to calm his wildly beating heart.
He's not here, he's no where near me. Calm down. Calm down.
With a deep sigh and a quick head shake to get rid of those memories, Naruto gathered his things, making sure to hide the notebook in his back pack. Shisui-sensei was one of the only people that knew Naruto liked to write. He was his Creative Writing teacher after all. Even though he knew about Naruto's love for writing, he definitely did not know about his love for yaoi. And keeping it that way was a huge pain in the ass. Shisui-sensei was as curious as any cat and Naruto had had to resort to drastic measures on multiple occasions to get the older man to release his sacred notebook of yaoi.
"What were you writing?" On cue, the curiosity surfaced.
Naruto slung on his back pack, making sure to keep one of his hands clenched tightly on the strap. "It's just some plot lines I've been thinking up..."
Shisui nodded, a small smile on his face as he lead Naruto to the door and down the stairs. "If you don't like going to the cafeteria, why not the library? I'm trying form a club, but haven't found many people interested yet.
"A writing club?" Naruto mussed a grin appearing on his face at the thought. "That sounds pretty awesome, actually."
Shisui nodded, his eyes flashing in amusement. "I've been wanting to make one for a while, I just haven't gotten any interest from students. You're the first one that liked the idea."
"Probably because you haven't been asking the right people? You might have to combine reading and writing for it to work." Naruto suggested as they made their way to the main library. "Not many people like to write but a lot of people like reading what people write."
Shisui-sensei contemplated that for a second before replying. "Hn."
Naruto couldn't help but roll his eyes at that. It must be something Uchiha related because both Sasuke and Itachi-sensei also said that. An annoyingly amount of the time. "Sensei, for a Creative writing teacher, you know surprisingly little besides 'hn' in response to a conversation..."
With his own role of his eyes, Shisui-sensei left Naruto outside the library doors and headed back on his way to his classroom.
"Next time, instead of the roof or the library, how about I go to your classroom, eh sensei? And while we're at it, you might as well host the club meetings in your room! You might get a lot of the girls to come if you do it that way!" Naruto called after the teacher with a grin before stepping into the almost empty library, not waiting to see the response that the sensei would give him after what he'd told him.
Shisui-sensei was popular, extremely popular. He, like Sasuke, and Itachi-sensei, had a fan club following him around. It must have had something to do with the Uchiha genes because nobody had a fan club like they did. Naruto liked to tease his sensei about it, and Shisui-sensei had always told him that if he kept going, then he was going to fail Naruto. It was an empty threat and they both knew it, Shisui-sensei loved Naruto's writing and would never be able to put anything but the earned grade and Naruto took full advantage of that fact, teasing him mercilessly.
The fact that Shisui-sensei actually teased him back, made Naruto think that they were friends. Or if not friends yet, then well on their way to becoming it, even with the age difference.
Like Shisui-sensei had said, the library was practically empty. The only person in there at all was the librarian. With a smile and a small wave towards him, Naruto headed towards one of the tables near the window.
"Naruto, I found something you might like." The librarian walked over to him,
"Really? Thanks, Kabuto-san!" Naruto glanced down at the tittle of the book, a smile on his face.
"It's a little bit of a darker series but it's very good."
"I'll try it out! Never herd of it before... Oh! Kabuto-san, the other day you were telling me about a writing contest, remember? Do you have the information on it? I really want to try it out!"
"Of course, it's in the book." The grey haired grinned down at him before walking away with a wave. "I hope you win."
"Thanks again!" Naruto practically yelled, too excited to keep quiet. It was a good thing that they were the only people in the library so Kabuto just let it go but Naruto blushed in embarrassment. "Sorry!"
Again, Kabuto gave him a wave, this time with a chuckle. Naruto sighed in relief then opened the book, a piece of paper was folded in half and placed between the first few pages of the book. He quickly picked it up and unfolded it, eyes scanning down the page, the grin on his face getting bigger and bigger the longer he read.
"I so want to win!"
"I'm sure you will, oh, don't worry about the entry fee Naruto. I already signed you up because the deadline's going to cut it close."
"Eh? Really? Thanks Kabuto! I'll pay you back!"
"Oh, don't worry about it Naruto. It was my pleasure." Kabuto gave the teen a smile.
And for some reason, Naruto got the chills. "Brr, I need to start bringing my jacket! Thanks again! I'm definitely gong to win!"
"I'm sure you will, Naruto."
For the rest of the day, Naruto was in heaven, not even being in Orochimaru's class could bring him down. Anytime he had a free moment, he opened his notebook and outlined a new chapter for his short story that he would be entering in the contest. The theme had been love, any kind of love just as long as it was love, whether it be family love, friend love, or romantic love. He'd already planned on something and was working on it before the contest so he was relatively ahead on the time line. He'd have plenty of time for editing and fixing before sending it in.
Naruto had decided to write a modern day story with mythical creatures and humans. There would be a lonely human, Damien, born with a special power that mythical creatures and some unsavory humans want. He gets a body guard but doesn't know about him. This body guard would be a young elf from the hidden valley of Afrel. Elves usually stayed out of the dealings of humans and other creatures but the power that Damien has is too dangerous to leave unprotected from the hands of evil so that's where Thomeas came in. He was the only Elf that looked like a human, his features less fair then the rest of his race. That helped him blend in with the human population. The only major differences were his eyes and ears. Long hair kept the ears hidden, but his eyes needed a little... magical help. A simple spell turned his eyes from purple to a more common blue colour. Thomeas integrated himself in Damien's life, keeping things away from him without the teens knowledge. But during that time, Damien sees him and grows attached, and love slowly bloomed between them. Of course, there had to be drama, danger, and almost loss but Naruto hadn't gotten to that part yet. He'd have plenty of time for writing later that day.
The last bell of the day rang, startling Naruto out of his story line thinking. With a quick shake of his head, he put his things away into his backpack, making sure that his two notebooks were safely inside. By the time he was finished, he was the last person in the room.
Or so he thought.
"Naru-chan." The way his name was said in that voice made Naruto's blood run cold. For a second, instead of a classroom there was a room with no windows and a cot in the corner and that man was whispering in his ear.
With a flinch, Naruto was jarred out of the memory by that same voice again.
"Did you need any help?" Orochimaru asked, a weird gleam in his eyes as he stepped closer towards the blonde.
Naruto shifted away slightly, trying to keep a distance between them and also to calm mind from the memory of that dark past.
I'm not in that room. I'm not with that psychopath. He's not going to hurt me, not ever again.
A deep breath later, Naruto took another step away from his Chemistry teacher and cleared his throat. He glanced into Orochimaru's eye's for a split second. When their eyes connected, his heart constricted with dread. They were his eyes. Never before did they match so much with Naruto's memory of his eyes. The eyes that loved boring into him, promising pain, misery, agony and despair. Naruto took several staggering steps away from him and stammered out his reply. "Uh, no, I'm fine, I was just leaving..."
"Don't be shy, if you need any help, you can always come to me." The words dripped from his mouth with a definite double meaning that Naruto hoped was just his imagination. It had to be, no teacher would be stupid enough to imply anything to a student. "I'm so glad to have you as my student, again."
That was odd, Naruto had never had Orochimaru before. He was extremely sure about that. Why would he say he was glad to have him again?
Just before Naruto turned away from the man completely, a flash of something passed through Orochimaru's face. For a second, as he walked away, Naruto could have sworn that Orochimaru had been that man. But it couldn't be. The man was long gone and Orochimaru was someone else entirely.
Wasn't he?
A/N: What do you think? Interesting, not? Let me know! Sorry for any mistakes, my beta doesn't like Naruto, so I'm not going to force him to beta it xP
