Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor any of the characters from it. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. |
Chapter unbetaed, so expect some mistakes. (for the betaed version wait
a few days)
A note to the reader. Konoha Academy as she is presented in this story will
be modeled after the American School System. This means four grade levels
(9-12), the students switch class every period, and no one eats lunch in
the classrooms. I do this out of my own familiarity of that system, and a
feeling that I can make the story more believable this way. If you have any
questions please ask.
Another note to the reader. You may notice me switch from English Mr. Ms,
to the Japanese san kun sama etc. and I know this annoys some people, but
please note that I do that for effect. Basically I use what sounds better
in the sentence or what I feel has better connotation. (ie Mr. Uchiha usually
sounds stiffer (in English) than Uchiha-san and is sometimes better when
I want you to see Sasuke as a total prick *but still love him cuz I do*)
So, yeah, on with the story…
Italics= thought (usually Naruto’s)
Ch 4
…………………………………………………………………….
When Naruto awoke he was wet, and it was not the happy fun kind of wet that
comes from having a very pleasant dream. No. It was the kind of wet that
only comes after having a bottle of designer water dumped over your head.
“What the Fuck!” he screamed as he wiped the freezing cold water from his
face and stared up at the young man currently leaning over him with an emptied
bottle of Evan in hand.
“You have 15 minutes before classes start. I am required to bring you to
your first period. Get dressed.”
Naruto stared at the teme as he exited his room. What is up with these
people and dumping water on each other’s head? Grumbling, he stumbled
out of the large bed and headed to the bathroom to relieve himself.
Meanwhile, Sasuke finished packing his backpack for the day. About 10 minutes
before his cell phone rang. On the line was the assistant to the headmistress.
She asked if Naruto was out of bed yet. When Sasuke told her he was not,
she politely asked if he would wake the boy up and take him to his first
period class. Sasuke said “Hn” and opened Naruto’s door to make his first
attempt at waking the boy up.
The first attempt at awakening Naruto included touching his bare shoulder
and calling his name once, this didn’t work. After exchanging several more
words with Shizune and a long hard thought between the both of them, he made
a second attempt.
This attempt included pulling the sheets off Naruto’s bed and in a raised
voice saying Naruto’s full name twice. This did not work either. The only
response from Naruto was that he curled up in a little ball and mumbled a
something about Ramen. Sasuke exchanged several more words with Shizune,
with Shizune doing most of the talking; together they came to the conclusion,
like aunt like nephew. The rest was history.
And to be honest, Sasuke very much enjoyed waking the dobe up. Although
he did wonder a bit why the boy had commented about ramen. As far as Sasuke
was concerned ramen is a food for the desperate. Ramen is only an acceptable
source of sustenance for the poor and desperate college student who didn’t
make it to the school cafeteria before the 7pm closing. (AN: this happens
to me all the time.*) Why anyone would dream about the stuff, let alone happily
dream about the stuff was beyond him.
XXXX ~FLASHBACK~ XXXX
Naruto sat upon the stoop of his Uncle Eiji’s city home. It was almost 6:00pm. He
knew he would not be let back inside until after ten, when he was permitted
to go inside and sleep under the table in the kitchen. To make matters worse,
it was raining.
It was raining a lot; he might have used the idiom about cats and dogs.
However, Naruto had never heard that particular metaphor. All the six-year-old
boy knew that it was raining a lot and that it was cold, and if he stayed
outside he would probably get sick again.
Which was the last thing he wanted. The doctor was not a very nice man.
He always did things. Things that little Naruto did not like. Things that
little Naruto did not want. It was always better to stay healthy and strong,
that way he could take care of himself.
He looked around, there had to be, someplace to go. Some place not so wet.
He looked down the street. The park was nearby. But it was after the big
kids got out of school. They were not nice to Naruto either.
The big kids always picked on Naruto sometimes they beat him up too. The
park wasn’t safe after the big clock rung twice. But it was raining. It might
be safe. Maybe.
He grabbed the X-Large pizza box that had been left by the door and held
it over his head. It would help keep the cold November rain off of him. He
ran as fast as his little legs would take him down the sidewalk. He stopped
to press the button on the crosswalk, he pressed the button again and again
in the way that only a impatient, wet, and cold six-year-old can; looking
both ways several times as the light switched from a red hand to a blue man
in mid step he crossed the street. Then he continued to run. He ran for four
blocks until he reached the park.
He breathed deep as he tried to catch his breath. It was raining so very
hard, and he could barley see the large jungle gym that couldn’t be more
than 10 feet from where the boy stood.
He dropped the now soggy cardboard box and made a run for the third landing
of the jungle gym. The third landing was his favorite spot. It was up high
and kind of hard to get to. It also was covered with a wooden roof and had
partial walls on three of the sides. The other side had a ladder, and a viewing
bubble. He was headed for that plastic bubble.
It would be dry there. He was sure of it. Plus, then he would be able to
see if anyone was coming. It was the safest spot in the entire park. He could
escape from any side but if anyone wanted to get him, there was only one
way up. It would be dry there. Which meant not getting sick and not going
to the doctor, which was very important because he really didn’t like that
doctor.
He climbed up to the first landing without incident and then up to the second
with the only folly of slipping on a wet board. He merely had to go across
the bridge and up the ladder. He was almost there, he was almost safe, he
was almost to a dry place.
“Hey Mikey look what I found!” Shouted an oversized kid in a red power
ranger’s shirt. “It’s that kid, the one we told never to set foot in our
fort, or else.” He grinned menacing.
No no not again. I, I need to get out of here!
Naruto tried to escape but he was blocked off. Three other boys seemed to
appear out of nowhere.
Don’t hurt me.
“We have a trespasser!” Shouted the boy now identified as Mikey. “And you
know what we do to trespassers!” He laughed as the boys all enthusiastically
agreed.
What happened next was like a scene out of Lord of the Flies. Fists
and feet being thrown in every which direction but all landing somewhere
on the body of the six-year-old, blond-haired, blue-eyed Naruto.
He screamed. He screamed as loud as he could, but the wind was continuously
knocked out of him. Instead bare rasps came out. Mere whispers for help that
no one could hear. His cries were moot and the pain kept coming. The five
boys kept beating him. They kept laughing. They kept cheering each other
on. Slowly, ever so slowly Naruto ceased to exist on that plane. He slipped
into the darkness.
He slid deeper and deeper into the dark. He didn’t feel the last blow, or
the feel of wet sand as he was thrown off the play structure and into the
course muddy sand below him, nor did he see the boys as they ran away from
the play structure. There was only darkness, empty, nothing, oblivion… except
“…I swear children these days are so cruel.” Said a voice.
“No children have always been cruel.”
“Yeah, but violent television, video games, and…”
“Quit it already. You are ten. You are still a kid, so don’t talk like that.”
“But niisan it is true.”
“Still, come on help me get him inside. Those punks did a number on him”
Together they dragged the unconscious boy into a nearby shop.
Naruto felt his body move, his eyes fluttering open before closing again
a moment later. He was so tired, and he hurt everywhere. The blackness came
over him once more.
“I think he is waking up.” Said the ten year old.
Naruto opened his eyes and saw light. A lot of light, bright bright florescent
light, and it hurt. He closed his eyes again.
“Don’t close your eyes, you need to stay awake. You probably have a concussion.”
Said the older of the two brothers. The ten year old touched Naruto’s shoulder
in an attempt to rouse him. Naruto instantly recoiled from the touch and
folded himself into the fetal position. “Da…Da… Don’t hurt me.” He cried. No
more. Please no more.
“We are trying to help you. My little brother and I found you in the park
and brought you here.”
Naruto ducked his head in an attempt to make himself as small as possible.
It was no use trusting people. Every time there was a glimmer of hope it
was always taken away. Every time he thought about trusting people they would
hurt him. Every time. Always. Pain.
He closed his eyes waiting for more, anticipating the pain, but it didn’t
come. Instead there was a warm fluffy towel, and a set of gentle hands carefully
cleaning the dirt and blood from his face.
“There. That is better isn’t it?” Said the older brother.
Naruto nodded. He did feel a little better.
“What is your name?” asked the younger.
“N…Naruto.”
“I’m Trent, this is my big brother Iruka.” He paused thoughtfully. “Well
he isn’t really my big brother, but we grew up together. He works here now,
and he lets me visit after school. That is how I found you. I saw you, but
you wouldn’t wake up so I had to get…”
“Trent, I think you have talked his ears off enough.”
“But I gots to explain, so he knows.”
Iruka smiled at the antics of his adopted brother. Trent always felt that
it was vitally important to explain every minor detail of an event. “Why
don’t you two grab a booth and I’ll bring you both something good to eat.”
Trent grabbed Naruto’s hand and helped the other over to one of the booths.
They sat across from each other. With Naruto holding tight to the fluffy
towel and Trent bouncing up and down with excitement.
“They have the best food here. All kinds of food, but the ramen is the best.
My brother only started working here last month. Before that he was away
at school. But he graduated and came here, and he lets me visit. I sometimes
get in trouble, Ms. Jane that is my foster mom; she gets mad when I am out
really late. Because she worries, last time she grounded me, but Iruka saved
me from that, because I was with him and she said it was ok, but I was late
because of the rain, like today. I will probably be late today but niisan
said he would tell Ms. Jane what happened. It will be such a cool story to
tell everyone….”
Trent went on like that for a while, and Naruto, hidden beneath the towel,
listened. He so rarely had anyone acknowledge him let alone actually talk
to him.
“Here you go, two extra large miso ramens.” Iruka placed the bowls in fount
of the two boys and waited. Trent dug in slurping up the noodly soup concoction
with boyish glee. Naruto on the other hand just stated at the bowl.
“What? You don’t like ramen?” asked Iruka.
Naruto shook his head no.
“Don’t tell me you haven ever had ramen?”
Naruto sunk down.
“Try it, you won’t know if you like it unless you try.”
Naruto took up the pair of chopsticks, and dipped them into the broth, took
up a bunch of the noodles and brought them to his mouth. Then he took his
first bite of ramen.
It was heaven wrapped in culinary ecstasy.
XXXX ~END FLASHBACK~XXXX
Naruto came stumbling out of the bathroom in a pair of low riding boxer
shorts and headed back to his room. Sasuke watched him. The young dobe was
rather, well there was only two thoughts running though Sasuke’s mind as
he watched the dobe retreat. The first was that he was hott. The second was
regarding the fact that his underwear was orange, and how could anyone stand
that color**?
“You have five minutes dobe”
“Stop calling me that!” Naruto shouted from behind his door as he tried
to get into the cloth contraption known as the Konoha Academy uniform. This
uniform as you, the reader, may presume to be fairly typical of high school
uniforms. It consisted of navy blue slacks, a white button down shirt, a
pair of black dress shoes, a blazer, and a tie. None of which would have
been a problem except for the facts that Naruto was not enough of a morning
person to button the shirt up without muddling it several times.
However, the shirt, although being very frustrating, was not the main cause
of Naruto’s problems. Uzumaki Naruto did not know how to tie a tie. In fact,
the only time he had ever come into contact with a necktie was when he washed
them for several of his many relatives. No one, not even Naruto, thought
that there would be any use for teaching the boy any sort of tie tying. It
was quite a predicament.
“You have two minutes.” He heard Sasuke state from the other side of the
door.
Naruto continued to fumble with the tie. Who ever decided that putting
a noose on your neck is a fashion statement, I want to kill him! That
was it. He gave up on the tie and stormed out of his room. It was hopeless
why should he bother.
Sasuke looked over at Naruto and raised an eyebrow. “Don’t tell me you can’t
tie a tie dobe?”
“It is a fashion statement.”
“It is against dress code.”
“So what” He crossed his arms defensively.
Sasuke smirked his trademark smirk. “Why don’t you just ask for help?”
“I don’t need your help teme.”
What happened next happened fast. It was something Naruto never saw coming,
something he had no time to react to. He was pinned to the wall, with his
hands far above his head and Sasuke was the captor. Naruto struggled against
Sasuke, but the brunette was like a brick wall with steal reinforcement.
“Now, ask.” Sasuke commanded.
Naruto turned his head. He didn’t have to look at the bastard. He could
ignore the excessively close proximity of the other boy. Ignore ignore
ignore ignore “No.” he smiled at his defiance, he did not have to listen
to Sasuke. Sasuke was not the boss of him.
Sasuke pressed up against Naruto. His lips ghosted over Naruto’s ear. “Why
is it so hard for you to admit. All you have to do is say is please.”
Naruto squeezed his eyes shut. It was too much to have this guy’s body so
close to him. It was too much to feel Sasuke’s hips so aligned with his.
But, he couldn’t give that bastard the satisfaction of having him beg. His
dignity was at stake. But, if he stayed like this much longer it would be
more than just his dignity.
“Fine. Show me how to tie it.” He could feel Sasuke smirk against his neck.
“You didn’t say please.”
He thought that would work. No nasty please and thank you, but Sasuke was
still pressed against him, and the blood still draining from one head the
other. In another minute he would have a not so little problem to deal with,
and he was not about to admit to any sort of attraction to the bastard. He
had to get the other boy off him and quick.
“Please would you tie my tie for me?”
Sasuke took a step back grabbed the two ends of the tie and proceeded to
tie. His moments could be best described as cold professionalism. There was
no hint in his stance that moments before he had assaulted the other boy.
No there was just the perfect Pratt knot.
“That wasn’t so hard now was it?” Sasuke proceeded to grab his backpack.
“We need to hurry first bell has already rung”

*Seriously, that happens to me all the time. I never seem to make the 7pm
closing of the main cafeteria (aka the rock) and the only other place that
is open, well all they have is fired food, so thus the desperation of dorm
room ramen
** Really, I mean orange is the most annoying color, hell the color wasn’t
even named until relatively recently. It is ok after tinting or shading but
ewe, I really have a thing against orange. Sorry to anyone who like orange.
