I left you that day. For the last time in my life I left you.
It had been a few days since Naruto had left Kakashi at the train station and had that horrible day. Things were slowly going back to normal for him. He spent his days going to school, the martial arts club and then home to eat dinner before he went to the youth center to help out. Naruto still hadn't met the other instructor for his club, the guy seemed to be skipping without even informing his co-instructor.
Gai sensei, like he had insisted on being called, had been making them run and do warm ups very enthusiastically but he'd always gotten a bit restless when an hour had passed and there was no sign of the other guy. It only lasted for about 2 days though. After that Gai sensei had, probably on his own accord, gotten it into his head that his friend must be chasing after a "Precious person" and the last hour of their club time was spent doing even more grueling warm up exercises while the green beast shouted mushy things about the "Passion of youth" and "True love." all the while encouraging his students to follow their other seinsei's lead and find the love of their life or something like that. Lee had hung on to every word his sensei said and had started sprouting very similar stuff to poor Sakura every time he saw her. Naruto was surprisingly learning to ignore them both. Neji and Ten Ten weren't as lucky though since they were the only couple in the club. They were pretty much afraid to be seen within 10 feet of each other because Gai would start crying and shout even more loudly just how wonderful love was.

Naruto was sitting in the cafeteria waiting for his friends to come back with their food. Naruto always brought lunch with him from home no matter how dorky everyone kept telling him it was. The lady working in the cafeteria was apparently one of the people who hated his guts enough to go past glaring and whispering about him. The food he'd gotten from her always seemed to be slightly off and Naruto had opted to be a complete dork instead of being poisoned to death by a crazy lunch lady.
"Uhm.. Naru-Naruto." Came the timid voice of Hinata. She had just taken a seat at his table.
"Mmm?" Naruto hummed around his bread as he looked over to her.
"Uhm.." Hinata fumbled with her hands a little before she dug into her bag for something. Naruto felt sorry for the girl for being so incredibly shy. They had known each other for at least a year now and the girl still looked scared to death while talking to him. After a while Hinata pulled up something covered in cloth and handed it to him. "Uhm.. He-here. I fixed it for you."
Naruto grabbed the package from her and unwrapped it quickly. When the cloth had been pulled away Naruto stared at his goggles dumbfounded.
Hinata squirmed in the seat across from him. "I.. I didn't know if you would like it.. maybe I shouldn't have, but Kiba said you'd like it.. I'm really sorry.." She stuttered nervously.
"It's fantastic!" Naruto cut her off. "I love it. Thank you so much." Naruto couldn't stop staring at his black goggles that now had two orange tinted lenses instead of the original green tinted once.
He was still staring at them when Kiba and the guys came and sat down with them.
"Oh you gave it to him already?" Kiba grinned. "Pretty cool huh, Naruto?"
"It's amazing!" Naruto exclaimed as he eagerly put them on. They matched his black and orange t-shirt perfectly. Naruto had taken the plain black shirt and painted orange swirls on it himself. His friends used to tease him on his strange taste in clothes but it was done jokingly, Naruto always looked good in his outfits, that more often than not were partially designed by himself.
"What class do we have next?" Shikamaru asked Naruto while he leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.
"Don't you have your time table with you?" Naruto asked absentmindedly while he munched on the rest of his food. "Why don't you just check yourself."
"Can't be bothered. Too troublesome." His lazy friend mumbled.
Naruto rolled his eyes and started looking for his own in his bag but stopped when Chouji answered for him.
"We have philosophy next." Their kind hearted fellow supplied while he plowed through his second tray of food.
Philosophy along with English was the only subject all of them had together and were therefore among their favorite classes, even though they're philosophy teacher, Ibiki, was down right terrifying at times. They're English teacher, Asuma, on the other hand was one of their favorite teachers. He ignored the school rules completely and chain smoked through the whole class, every now and then chucking pieces of chalk and the occasional cigarette but at Shikamaru as he nodded off at his desk.
"Sweet!" Naruto and Kiba both said at the same time. With all their play fighting and friendly insults they very rarely admitted it but they were like twins or very close brothers sometimes. Thinking and acting in the exact same way.

I ran away. I watched you fade away into the distance.
"Psst, Shikamaru." Naruto whispered to his friend behind him. Kiba was sitting to his right and Chouji behind him next to Shikamaru. "Shika?" Naruto tried a little louder. The only reaction he got was his friend opening one eye and giving him an annoyed stare with it.
"Lend me your text book please." Naruto put his hands together and gave his best look. A look that combined a dazzling smile, puppy dog eyes and the most innocent aura he could muster. All that was missing was the halo over his head and the demon tail from his back.
"And I'd like to do that because?" Shikamaru said with a grin of his own.
"Because I reeeaaallly don't want Ibiki to know I forgot mine again. And it's not like you're going to use yours, you'll just sleep through the class anyway."
"I don't have mine. It was too troublesome to get it from the locker so I just didn't. You're on your own." Shikamaru said as he closed his eye again.
"Traitor!" Naruto quietly snapped before he turned over to Kiba. "Oi, Kiba. Let me share your book will you?"
Kiba looked at him apologetically while he rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry man, I forgot mine as well. I'm sharing with Hinata."
Naruto was about to curse his oldest friend when a monotonous voice spoke up to his left.
"You can share mine."
Naruto looked over and let his mouth loose before his mind could catch up.
"You can talk!" He stared dumbly at Shino. The guy was a bit weird if you wanted to be polite about it. He wore black sunglasses and a variety of high collared jackets or sweaters, Naruto wasn't sure he had ever seen his eyes or the lower part of his face since he'd met him a year ago and he certainly couldn't remember ever hearing him talk.
"Yes Naruto, I do have excellent vocal cords." Naruto wasn't sure but the never changing tone in Shino's voice sounded a bit offended.
"Uhh.." Naruto didn't really know what to do but he decided that sharing a textbook with Shino would be infinitely better than having Ibiki interrogate him about why he had forgotten his own. "Thanks!" Naruto said as cheerfully as he could while he scooted his desk closer to the bug boy.
As Ibiki walked in to the classroom Naruto thought he was pretty safe. That is until Ibiki turned away from the black board and pierced him with a fierce look.
"Naruto." The deep voice boomed. For his credit Ibiki was one of the people who were considerate enough to always call him by his given name. Some people just loved to emphasize his surname, knowing full well that it made him feel uncomfortable.
"Any specific reason why you don't have your text book with you today?"
Naruto fought the urge to slowly droop under his desk. He looked all over the classroom trying to find some kind of escape, eyes finally landing on his dearest oldest friend who just so happened to be missing a text book as well. If Naruto noticed Kiba's death glare of doom he didn't show it. If he was going down his friend was going down with him.
"Hey! I'm not the only one." He said defensively. "Kiba doesn't have his either." Unfortunately for Naruto this didn't have the desired affect. Ibiki looked even more ominous.
"Are you implying that my observation skills are so bad that I don't see that Inuzuka is practically leaning all over his classmate to read her book." Naruto paled, until his teacher barked. "Inuzuka! Get your text book out of your bag now and stop harassing the poor girl.. you can do that after class if you still want to."
Kiba gave Naruto an even frostier glare as he reached into his bag and took out his book. To the teacher he said. "Shikamaru doesn't have his book either!"
Ibiki turned back to the black board mumbling. "Knowing him he's probably got it memorized already."
Ibiki wasn't the kind of teacher who would give you detention for not having your book or anything like that. He just loved to make his students nervous.

Left and forever would be the key words here.
Naruto and Shikamaru had sculpting next with Kurenai sensei. She was one of those crazy artsy types, always wearing red contact lenses and different dresses she made by wrapping long strands of fabric around herself. Naruto liked her. She didn't pretend, spoke softly and rarely said anything but when she did it was always to encourage her students or give well deserved praises.
Naruto and Shikamaru set up their things, meaning Naruto got the paper boards they had to cover their tables with to keep them clean, got some clay for them to work with along with some water and finally some clay modeling tools, while Shikamaru made sure their seats weren't taken by sitting there. He didn't mind though, he'd always been pretty energetic and with all the running around he'd done recently at the club his stamina had only gone up.
"So any ideas what to make?" Naruto asked his friend. They had been given complete freedom for this days lesson and Naruto's mind was hitting a blank.
"Just do what ever, I can't be bothered to think for you as well." Shikamaru said as he slowly poked his clay with his tools.
"I don't know how you keep on living man. Soon enough you'll think it's too troublesome to breath... and believe me, your not my type so I won't be giving you mouth to mouth to keep you alive." Shikamaru only mumbled something Naruto didn't hear while he grinned at his lazy friend.
"Yeah, yeah same to you." He said as he took his music player out of his bag and got lost in the melody. He picked up his tools and began sculpting. Scraping away the clay he didn't need, hands molding the rest. Smoothing it over and wetting it when it was needed.
He'd been sculpting for a little over an hour when he suddenly realized just what his hands had been doing. His playlist had run out and he'd slowly blinked his eyes while his mind came back from it's trip away from reality, and then he just stared, frozen to the core.
Shikamaru, sensing that something was wrong with his friend, turned to see what was up. The first thing he noticed was his blond companion sitting stiff as a board, clutching the edges of his desk. Eyes staring at his table with a faraway look. And then Shikamaru saw what Naruto was staring at. On the table stood a little figure of a fox with nine tails striking the air. Before Shikamaru could react Naruto raised one shaking hand and brought it down hard on the sculpted clay, flattening it out.
"Why did I... Why did I... do that." He said shakily.
He'd had nightmares about this creature when he was younger, it wasn't until a year after he'd moved in with Iruka and Genma that they had finally started to recede but only after a lot of nights spent in the arms of those two mens as they clung on to him while he cried. He had no memory of the fateful night when that monster had entered his life and started tormenting his dreams, all he remembered was the image of the nine tailed fox. But of course he'd heard, everyone had heard and everyone knew.
Naruto rubbed his chest right over his wildly beating heart. His wildly beating heart. He was having trouble breathing and he felt like the room was closing in on him. Shikamaru hadn't been close enough to Naruto when the blond first moved to their neighborhood to ever see him react this badly. When they had become more than just buddies at school Naruto had been mostly over his trauma thanks to Iruka and Genma. Up until now he'd only seen Naruto slightly uncomfortable when he was reminded too much of the incident, he always seemed pretty unfazed when people brought it up. Shikamaru, none the less, recognized the signs of a panic attack taking over his friend and after looking around the room for a few seconds he came up with the most suitable way to get Naruto out of the room before other people noticed it as well. He took one of his sharper tools and without even hesitating he stabbed it into his hand. He then grabbed Naruto by the upper arm and pulled him towards the door, making sure the other boy didn't see the blood on his hand. He did wave his wound at Kurenai though in explanation as he called out.
"Sensei I cut my hand. We're going to the infirmary."
The woman looked at them a bit surprised. "Both of you?" She asked.
"Yeah I'm feeling a bit faint." Shikamaru lied. "I'm not sure I'll make it all the way on my own."
"Alright, make sure to look after him then Naruto." Kurenai said as Shikamaru hauled his friend out of the room.
He didn't take his friend to infirmary though, he dragged Naruto straight outside and to some benches that were situated in a secluded area near some trees on the school grounds. He made the boy sit down before he put both hands on his shoulders, leaning in so their faces were at the same level.
"Naruto. Look at me!" Shikamaru said sternly. Naruto's eyes were directed at him but he could clearly see that the boy wasn't seeing him. He gave his friend a little shake. "Look at me! Focus on my eyes ok." Naruto finally blinked a few times and then stared into his friends brown eyes with his panic stricken blue. He was shaking all over and still gasping in air. Shikamaru grabbed the hand that he was frantically tearing at his shirt with, halting the movement.
"Alright now mimic my breathing ok? Just do as I do. Breath in" Shikamaru took a deep breath. "And then breath out." He exhaled slowly. He repeated this a few times until he could see that Naruto's breathing had evened out a bit. This was about all he could do for his friend now. They were good friends but Shikamaru didn't know this side of him well enough to be able to give him all the support he needed. He was going to look at his watch to see what time it was but decided to use another method.
"Naruto." He was glad to see his friend give a small nod signaling he'd heard him. "Tell me what time it is." The question might sound pretty ridiculous given the circumstances but Shikamaru knew what he was doing. Naruto looked blank for a moment before he slowly raised a shaking arm to look at his watch, the old childish watch that Iruka and Genma had given him. He stared at it before he finally spoke. His voice sounding a bit strained and far off. "It's.. it's about half past two." He said.
Alright, Shikamaru thought, Kiba should be getting out off class about now.
"Ok Naruto, I'm going to go and get Kiba. Can you sit here by yourself until he comes?"
Naruto nodded his head in agreement. He was feeling much calmer now thanks to his friend.

I got your name, my last look of you and some great memories.
Naruto was still shaking a little when Kiba met up with him outside the school. Shikamaru had told the other brunette just what had happened before he'd gone of to the infirmary to get his hand checked out and so Kiba had rushed over to Naruto as fast as he could.
"Are you alright man? Feeling better?" Kiba knew better than anyone about the blonds situation and feelings since they had been best friends for years, living next to each other and hanging out all the time, and he hated seeing his friend upset about anything. And this sure as hell wasn't just anything. Kiba put his hand on his friends shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly.
"Yeah I'm.." Knowing better than to try to lie to his friend he stopped himself. "It's.. it's getting there. Shikamaru helped me" He finished.
Kiba, who had started to give Naruto a look that said 'don't even try to mess with me', relaxed a bit.
"That's good man, that's good. You up for the club or do you just wanna skip it today and go home? I'll come with you."
"Nah it's ok. I think I could use the exercise." Naruto said thankful for his friends concern.
"Ok, if you say so. But you are telling Iruka about this when we get home." Kiba said with a stern look and before Naruto could protest he continued. "You know you can't keep this from him Naruto. What if it happens again? Then what? For Christ's sake man I still remember how bad you could get when we first met and if you just talk to Iruka about it then maybe you two can work it out."
Naruto rubbed his eyes, careful not to touch the scars on his cheeks. "I promise I'll tell him if anything else happens ok? Just not now, not this time, I don't want to worry him over this if it turns out to be a one time thing. Just promise me you won't tell him about it." Naruto begged his friend.
"Alright, alright.." Kiba reluctantly agreed. "I'm not fond of the idea but I'll do it for you this time, but if this happens again I'm calling him on the spot. And then you'll have to deal with him when he finds out we didn't tell him the first time it happened."
Naruto and Kiba made their way to the sport facilities and got into their gym clothes. Naruto didn't think this could ever be possible but he was actually thrilled to see Gai sensei, the guy was an amazing distraction, plus his warm up schedule was great at draining away all of his uneasiness.

Kakashi had finally decided that the blond boy just wasn't going to show up at the train station anymore so today he had gone through his usual routine. He finished his work at the school, substituting for various teachers. and then spent the rest of the day quietly in the teachers lounge reading his book until it was time to head over to instruct martial arts... that is when it was an hour past the time he was supposed to start instructing martial arts. It was alright though, Gai had surely gotten them warmed up enough now for his training.
x.x.x.x.x
After an hour of running Naruto was much more concerned about his physical health and the state of his muscles than anything else. He and Kiba were tiredly stretching when Naruto got another shock. He wasn't sure if this one was good or just as terrifying as the previous one.
"So this is where you've been for the last few days." The lazy baritone voice droned out.
Imagine Kakashi's surprise when it turned out the boy he had been hoping to meet for the last few days had been spending the time in his club.
x.x.x.x.x
x.x.x.x.x
So why, can someone please tell me why, are you standing right here!
"Ehhh!" Was all Naruto could manage as he whirled around, pointing an accusing finger at the man who he was supposed to have never met again. "What the hell are you doing here?" He half shouted at the silver haired man.
Kiba who had gotten a shock as well due to his friends reaction, he was still a bit on edge after hearing his friend had a panic attack, walked over to the blond.
"What you know him?" He asked his friend.
Before Kakashi or Kiba could say anything more Naruto kept going.
"I knew it! You're some kind of a pervert stalker! What did you follow me here or something? God I bet you even know where I live now!" Naruto was flailing his arms around as he spoke. "Look I appreciate the interest and everything but if you knew who I was you wouldn't be doing this..." Naruto suddenly looked a bit frightened. "Or maybe it's because you know who I am that you're doing this! What you want to beat me up or something?" Naruto was now scooching closer to Kiba. It wouldn't be the first time someone had wanted to beat him up after they learned who he was.
"Naruto calm down he's.." Kiba was cut off by the arrival of Gai sensei.
"My dear Naruto, what seems to be the cause of your Great Distress?" He asked in a booming voice.
Naruto pointed an accusing finger at Kakashi, who had just been standing there with an amused look in his eye while Naruto threw his fit. He honestly thought it was quite cute actually.
"He's the problem!" Naruto yelled. "He's stalking me! He's a weirdo, perverted, stalker."
Gai seemed to be speechless for the first time in his life. Kakashi looked like he was trying to suppress a laugh and Kiba was just staring at the ground not knowing what on earth else to do in this situation, maybe his friend really had lost his mind.
"Naruto.." Kiba began awkwardly. "I'm sure, although he can seem quite strange at times and you certainly could call him a pervert, that he's not stalking you."
"Then what the hell is he doing here then!" Naruto said still pointing at the man.
"Well I kind of run this club." Kakashi said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh yeah, that explains it. You ruuun.. this... club?" Naruto deflated. "You mean, as in this club? You.. work here?" It was at that point that Naruto realized Kakashi was wearing what looked like a judo uniform, it wasn't like the traditional once though, his was all black.
"I told you I was a ninja didn't I? You just chose not to believe me." Kakashi said with obvious amusement.
"Oh yeah, I'd obviously interpret that as an "I'm an instructor at your schools martial arts club." now wouldn't I." Naruto huffed.
"It's all underneath the underneath, you just have to look for it." Kakashi said as he slapped him on the shoulder. "Well then since warm up is over get ready for some fighting you've been slacking off all week." And with that he started walking over to the dojo, as if it hadn't been his fault that the students hadn't been practicing fighting in the first place.
Why did I run straight to you when I was trying to run away form you?
