I need to explain something, please read.

Some might say that Sasuke is OOC. To me, he's not. Why, you ask. Well, here is my reasoning. When Sasuke was younger he was a happy affectionate boy. It wasn't until Itachi killed the clan and left him alone after torturing him for days by forcing him to watch the massacre over and over again that Sasuke turned in to the cold hearted, avenger, emo bastard he is today. So, since Itachi is alive and well in my story, it's safe to assume that due to Itachi being the loving older brother he is, Sasuke is a sweet innocent boy he was before only older and wiser with a large amount of fear due to his obsessive fans. So don't whine and tell me that he's out of character. The way i've written his character has a purpose, and he will grow into a stronger person over time, one that does not depend on his brother.

Okay, now that that is done, I just wanted to say... THANK YOU EVERYONE! I recieved so many reviews for this story and you all eff'n awesome. But I believe you want the next chapter, so here you go.

Old Friends

As soon as the teacher began his lecture, Sasuke had put his head down on his desk, for whatever reason he couldn't focus. Normally he was diligent in his studies, always taking very in-depth and detailed notes, finishing his work and even answering questions.

Instead, he found himself carefully positioning his head on his arms so he was able to peer at the new student through his bangs that conveniently fell over his eyes. To the casual observer, it would appear he was asleep or at least trying to drown out the world around him. Sasuke found himself drawn to this Naruto Uzumaki, yet was determined to ignore him. He was furious with himself for spying, it was beneath him.

On the other side of the classroom, Naruto was leaning back in his chair, not really paying attention to the teacher. The pinkette and blonde beside him desperately trying to catch his attention, but he wasn't interested. There was only one thing in the class that held his attention. He was watching his subject out of the corner of his eye. The Uchiha appeared to be sleeping in class.

It seemed a bit strange to him. According to the background information he had read on the other teen, Sasuke Uchiha was a straight A student, who never got in trouble or caused problems. For Sasuke to be so blatantly ignoring the teacher, it seemed out of character, at least according to the data.

"Mr. Uzumaki!" The teacher brought a yard stick down on Naruto's desk, the resounding bang echoing through the class room. The shout and loud noise caused Sasuke to sit up suddenly. Even though he had seen the teacher approach Naruto, the noise was still startling.

"I don't know what they taught you back in your old school," the teacher said sourly. "But here you do not lean back in your chair. It's disruptive, distracting and just plain rude." He kicked one of the back chair legs, forcing Naruto to fall forward onto all four legs. "It would also benefit you greatly if you actually opened your binder and took notes."

"No point," Naruto said, lacing his fingers behind his head, taking a relaxed yet confidant position.

Out of the corner of his eye Naruto saw Sasuke watching the entire exchange intently. At least the Uchiha was taking notice of him, it would make the make contact part of his job easier.

"Well then," snarled the teacher. "If you're so smart then maybe you could answer the equation on the board." He crossed his arms, a smug look crossing his face as he harassed the new student. The problem on the board was third-year University, only a handful of students could solve it.

Tearing his focus away from Sasuke, Naruto glanced at the board for only a few seconds before picking up a pencil and twirling between his fingers. "26," he said before yawning loudly.

"That's incorrect," the teacher gleefully sang.

"Actually," interrupted Sasuke from across the room. He wasn't really sure why he was intervening. "He's correct; you might want to check your math sir."

The entire class began to murmur around them, shocked someone else had actually solved the equation. Usually the only ones able to were Neji and Sasuke. Across the room, Sasuke was having a hard time concealing his surprise. Apparently the blonde had a brain.

Scowling, the teacher stalked back to the front of the class and resumed his lesson. His humiliation was evident as he glared daggers at the Uzumaki, who had returned to pretending to stare off into space, his chair tilted dangerously.

On his side of the class, Sasuke returned to his earlier activity of watching the blonde through his bangs. He desperately wanted the class to be over, and soon.

As soon as the bell rang, Neji and Sasuke sprinted out the door in an attempt to avoid Sasuke's fan club. Little did they know that today the fan girls had a new target, a hot new blonde target.

Naruto watched in amusement as his subject tore out of the room at the bell. He got up slowly and gathered his belonging only to find himself surrounded by girls. "Ladies, ladies," he said with a huge grin. "There is more than enough of me to go around. Now, who would like to show me to my next class?"

Immediately, a small cry came from the ever growing group around him, and a huge cat fight broke out. Girls shrieked and screamed as they fought in desperate manner of hair pulling, scratching, and biting.

During the chaos, Naruto managed to push his way through the crowd. "Fan girls," he muttered as he sneak out the door undetected.

Neji walked Sasuke to his next class before taking off to his own. This period Sasuke had alone, no friends to protect him. He made his way quickly to his usual desk in the back corner of the classroom. The teacher was strict so no one usually dared to speak to him even if they managed to get the seat next to him.

He pulled out the book they were reading for the class and waited for the bell. To his horror and begrudging delight, the blonde walked through the door. Despite the nearly empty class, and the abundance of vacant seats, he swiped the one right next to him.

"Yo, I'm Naruto," he said extending his hand. He frown when the raven ignored him. "You know, it's polite to introduce yourself once someone else does," he said angrily when he realized he wasn't getting a response.

"Hn."

"I see," he drawled as a mischievous grin taking over his features. "Well, I suppose broody raven will have to do then."

Sasuke turned to look at the other teen, narrowing his eyes, only to widen slightly as he saw the other up close for the first time. His skin was perfectly tan with three whisker like scars on each cheek. His bright cerulean blue eyes wide with amusement, but still somewhat dull as if they could be brighter. But it was the smile that caught Sasuke's attention. It was wide and bright, but completely fake, plastered on his face, and it didn't reach his eyes. He quickly covered his surprise.

"Tch, dobe."

Naruto's jaw dropped. "W-what did you just call me, teme!" He was startled by the boys' attitude. "All I was doing was politely introducing myself in the hopes of a civil response, but I guess that's asking too much from mister high and mighty over here."

The blonde turned away abruptly leaving the younger teen with his thoughts. No one had ever spoken to the Uchiha like that before. It was somewhat shocking but also refreshing.

"Alright class," called the teacher as she entered the room, effectively ending his chances for a comeback.

He sat back opening his book, but his focus was not on the teacher for the second time that day. His thoughts were consumed by the tanned god next to him. The boy was cheerful and happy on the surface, but he could tell that underneath the facade there was a darker side.

In the next desk, said blonde was silently fuming. He couldn't get over the younger boys' attitude. He had been shut down with a one word childish insult. He sat in the class plotting his next approach.

Unfortunately for them, the class seemed to drag on. Even though talking was prohibited in class, an awkward silence seemed to hang over them. At the bell, they both packed up slowly, refusing to look at each other. Finally, with a quick glance at the blonde, Sasuke bolted for the door.

Waiting patiently at the door were Gaara and Neji, ready to escort the Uchiha to lunch. All three nodded in acknowledgement before moving down the hall.

Naruto watched his charge run out the door, seemingly eager to get away from him. This was going to be a lot harder than he had originally anticipated. Normally he could befriend anyone with no problem. His charismatic and joyful demeanour was addictive, and people flocked to him. Pondering the situation at hand, he made his way out of the classroom.

Not too far ahead of him, Naruto caught sight of a familiar red head. "Gaara?" he called incredulously. He watched with baited breath as the red head turned to reveal his long time friend. "Gaara!" he yelled happily and ran down the hall towards the shocked teen.

Upon hearing his name, Gaara turned to see a blonde mop he hadn't seen in months. The tanned blonde was now running towards him, arms outstretched in greeting.

The students in the hallway had gone silent when Gaara's name had been called. No one ever dared to address the seemingly psychotic teen. There was a collective gasp as the new kid started running to the red head.

"Naruto?" He braced himself as the large muscular body of his friend slammed into him, pulling him into a massive bear hug. He noticed the students around them staring wide eyed at the spectacle. Sighing heavily he hugged the blonde back drawing another large gasp from their audience. "You moron."

Behind them, Neji and Sasuke were watching, their shock barely concealed behind their masks of indifference. They shared a look, Sasuke raised an eyebrow, and Neji shrugged.

"Naruto," said the still stunned red head. "What are you doing here?" He stepped back when he was finally released from the bone crushing hug.

"I just transferred here." Naruto was practically bouncing on the spot. He couldn't believe his luck. Not only did he know another person at the school, but that person appeared to know his subject. Things would be so much easier now. "What about you? I had no idea you were here."

"I started here at the beginning of the school year."

The students around them were now muttering, wild rumours spreading like wildfire. Gaara Sabaku had just allowed someone to touch him. Not just touch him, but hug him, and the guy still had all his limbs.

Naruto looked over Gaara's shoulder at the two standing behind him. He waved cheerfully at the two who were trying hard to mask their confusion.

"Oh, right." Gaara turned to his friends. "This is Neji Hyuuga," he said motioning to the long haired brunette.

"Yo!" greeted Naruto. The only response he received was a nod.

"This here is Sasuke Uchiha." He jerked his thumb in the direction of the raven.

"So the broody raven has a name then," exclaimed Naruto throwing his arms up in the air in celebration. "And here I thought you were going to be nameless forever." He shot the glaring Uchiha a satisfied smirk.

For the first time, Naruto got a decent look at the raven, and in person, the teen was smoking hot. The picture be damned, it didn't do the boy justice. He had his raven hair spiked in the back with long bangs that framed his creamy ivory skin . His dark mysterious eyes seemed to pierce right through you and pouty lips to complete the package. On top of that, his body was to die for, thin but toned, not too muscular, but you could tell he was defined. If Naruto had a type, this would be it.

"Broody raven?" Gaara repeated raising a nonexistent eyebrow.

"Yeah, the teme over there refused to give me his name when I introduced myself. So I dubbed him the broody raven."

Gaara smirked. "Same old Naruto. You really haven't changed at all."

A few girls screamed, and the group of gathered students scattered, terrified there was a coming apocalypse.

Once the hall was clear of everyone but the four of them, Naruto began to laugh. "I see you're just friendly here as you have been in the past," the blonde joked while clutching his stomach and doubling over with laughter. "People think the world is going to end when you smile, or at least try to."

Gaara simply scowled. "Come on," he snapped. "Let's go eat."

Sasuke and Neji followed a bit behind the two old friends, watching the blonde keep up a constant stream of chatter that the red head didn't necessarily need to respond to. The fact that Gaara was chuckling and smirking shook them both to the core. In the time they had known the other teen, however short it maybe, they had never seen him display any emotion other than anger or disgust. Even the Uchiha and Hyuuga slipped up on occasion.

Sasuke's eyes seemed to have a mind of their own as they wandered over the new kid. He admired the toned muscular build, the sunshine hair and the perfect ass. Shaking his head, he mentally slapped himself. No matter what, he wouldn't get distracted, but he couldn't help but envy the red head as Naruto casually slung his arm over Gaara's shoulder.

The group of three, with Naruto in tow, quickly made their way to the front of the lunch line, grabbing food as they went. Once they had paid, all four made their way to an empty table in the back corner of the cafeteria.

Naruto plopped down, sprawling in his seat. Gaara quietly slipped into a seat next to him, as Neji and Sasuke took two seat across from them.

"So, Gaara," said the blonde between bites. "How are Kankuro and Temari? I haven't seen them in ages." He noticed the two dark haired teens across from him silently observing.

Gaara finished chewing before he responded. " They're good. Still doing the usual, you know, nothing too interesting," said the stoic red head, hinting that his brother and sister were still active agents for SAND. "Speaking of siblings, how's Kyuubi?"

" Oh, he's good I guess. He just got back today, just in time to enrol me too. He's been gone for a few weeks for work," he explained when the small group looked at him curiously. They nodded and went back to eating their lunch. "He just started for the winter semester at Konoha University. Psyche major I think."

Sasuke looked up again, chewing thoughtfully. "That's my brother's major," he informed the blonde.

"Huh, really?" Naruto pretended to look surprised. This wasn't anything he didn't know, they had gone over a few details during the ride over. "That's cool. We should introduce them. Actually," he paused and glanced at his watch. "Knowing my brother, by this time they've already met. He's pretty out going." He figured if his brother hadn't been able to make contact then he would get Sasuke to help introduce them. He still couldn't believe his luck running into Gaara.

"Seems to run in the family," mumbled the raven. Beside him Neji chuckled quietly. It was obvious the blonde was getting under the Uchiha's skin, and that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

"Did you say something?" Naruto asked tilting his head to the side cutely.

"No," he answered quickly, trying to fight down a blush that threatened him at the blondes' innocent cuteness.

"So you have a brother, huh." Naruto decided it was best to play dumb. He also deemed it wise to open up just a bit to gain the cold Uchiha's trust. "That's pretty awesome. I don't know where I'd be without Kyuu. He's saved my butt on more than one occasion, and gets me out of the house when I need to."

"I know what you mean." Sasuke decided that the Uzumaki wasn't annoying him as much as he originally thought. It seemed the teen wasn't always loud and abrasive. "Itachi has always been there for me," he added. "He even takes me to the parties at the University." He smirked, proud of the fact his older brother enjoyed hanging out with him, even with his own friends.

"Nice!" exclaimed Naruto, earning him a sharp elbow in the side from Gaara due to his volume. Ignoring the red head he continued. "I'm going to have to get Kyuu to take me along. I could do with a good party. Speaking of parties Gaara," he said slyly jabbing the Sabaku back with his own elbow. "Kyuu and I were just talking about this earlier. Remember that one time he was out of town and we threw a huge bash at my place."

Gaara swallowed loudly, a faint tint of pink staining his cheeks. "Please don't remind me," he almost begged.

Neji and Sasuke's jaws dropped at the blush decorating Gaara's face.

Pushing his food tray aside, Neji leaned forward eagerly. "Okay, you have to tell us about this." He would kill for anything that involved the aloof red head acting like a normal human being.

"Well you see..."

Gaara slapped his hand over Naruto's mouth effectively silencing the blonde. "No he doesn't." Naruto licked the palm of his hand. Disgusted, the red head released his friend, scowling as he wiped his hand on his jeans. "That's just gross Naruto."

"Sorry guys. Believe it or not, I do value my life." He scratched the back of his blonde head sheepishly. Suddenly he turned to face Gaara, his eyes lit up with excitement. "I bet you didn't know this Gaara," he said loudly practically bouncing in his seat. His friend shushed him, somewhat annoyed. "Shikamaru and Kiba totally fucked on Kyuu's bed that night. I'm still not sure if they don't know, or if they're pretending they don't."

The fork Gaara was holding clattered loudly on the table, and his jaw dropped open. "How do you even know this?"

Both Neji and Sasuke's eyes widened at the surprising display from their friend. Today seemed to be a day of firsts in the Gaara department.

"I accidently walked in on them," he announced proudly as Gaara resumed his meal. He turned thoughtful, rubbing his chin with his forefinger and thumb. "You know, I'm still not sure how they ended up in my bed with us and Sai the next morning, they had their own bed. Then again, the rest of the night was pretty much a blur."

Gaara growled. Naruto had managed to relay the highlights of that evening to the occupants of the table even after the red head had said no. The blonde was still as cheeky as ever.

"In bed?" Sasuke repeated barely above a whisper.

"Nothing happened," Naruto exclaimed waving his arms wildly, denying any act. "Well except between dog breath and deer boy," he amended. "I've been trying to get those two together since then. They obviously like each other."

"Hmm..." Gaara looked pensive as he sat with his chin resting on his clasped fists. "Perhaps we should have another party then."

"Could do," said Naruto nodding in agreement. "Sai won't be able to make it though." He looked a little depressed at the thought. Gaara gave him a small pat on the shoulder, making Sasuke curious about who this Sai was, and why he wouldn't make it. "You guys should totally come," he added instantly brightening.

"Hn."

"Sounds intriguing."

"Alright, I need to take a wicked leak," announced Naruto pushing his empty tray away. Gaara chuckled as the others at the table shot him a dirty look. "Gaara, be a pal and show me where the bathroom is would you."

Catching on, Gaara got to his feet, dragging the obnoxious blonde behind him. "Sure, let's go."

"Ah... not so hard, you're going to ruin my jacket," whined Naruto as he was forcibly dragged from the room.

Both Neji and Sasuke smirked, believing the red head was about to discipline the annoying teen.

Once they exited the cafeteria, Gaara grabbed a tanned wrist and dragged Naruto down the hall. He wrenched a door open and all but threw the blonde through it. Shutting it quickly behind them, Gaara rounded on his friend.

"Okay spill," he demanded, his eyes narrowing. "What does the LEAF have you doing? It's not that I don't love seeing you, but why are you here? It better not jeopardize my mission for SAND."

Well, there you have it. The third chapter is done and I'm almost done the fourth. It should be up soon.

Please review, I want to hear your thoughts!
