Hello all, it’s been quite the stretch of time since I have updated, lol. Sorry, college has a way of creeping up on you and leaving you with absolutely no time for anything else.

Chapter 7
One Year Later
“Naruto!” Iruka shouted, just as the boy was about leave the house to attend school. “You forgot your lunch!”
His mouth lifting into a smile, the golden-haired turned around and walked back inside. He still couldn’t get used to the fact that someone cared enough to make him a lunch every day. Before Iruka, such a concept had been foreign to the boy.
He walked back into the kitchen, where a smiling Iruka held a brown paper bag out to him.
Smiling back, Naruto took the proffered bag.
“Thanks Iruka-san,” I definitely would have missed this when lunch time came around.” Naruto scratched his head sheepishly, embarrassed that he’d made such a blunder.
Iruka shook his head.
“Silly boy, it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” Iruka’s eyes took on a more contemplative and serious intent. “It’s incredible that you’ve made the progress that you have. When I first met you, you could barely string a sentence together.” Then his eyes shone with pride. “And now look at you. You’ve got your abilities completely under control and can now attend school.”
Naruto smiled even brighter.
“That’s thanks to you. If it weren’t for your patience and care I would never have come as far as I have.”
Iruka’s eyes started to tear up, he grabbed the boy in a quick hug, now no longer having to fear the presence of Kyuubi. The boy completely trusted Iruka and Kyuubi never even awoke up when Iruka would embrace Naruto.
Naruto warmheartedly returned the embrace, then he saw the time out of the corner of his eye.
“Oh no, I’m going to be late!”
Saying a quick goodbye, Naruto quickly ran to the door and shut it, continuing to run hoping that he could somehow make it on time.
Iruka smiled fondly as he watched the boy rush off.
Naruto unexpectedly loved school; he loved learning new things, especially history. Every day he would come home and tell Iruka something new he had learned, his features animated and excited.
Iruka frowned.
The one thing Naruto was still struggling with though was interaction with other people. Other than him, Naruto had no friends finding it extremely hard to trust those around his own age or anyone besides Iruka for that matter
Or rather, Iruka mused, those that appeared to be around his own age.
It was extremely easy to forget that Naruto was thousands of years old, even if his body didn’t show that age.
Iruka knew that he had overly worrying type of personality, it was simply a fact that he had learned to accept about himself.
Well the only way for Naruto to learn how to interact with people and learn to trust again is time and to be around people.
Iruka’s eyes narrowed.
That bastard better never show his face around Naruto again. Just thinking about Hatake made Iruka angry. His treatment of the boy was deplorable at best. Forget Kyuubi, if he ever shows his face around here again, I will kick his ass myself.
An evil smirk lit Iruka’s features as if relishing the thought of laying into Hatake was a pleasure that he would definitely enjoy.
Hatake had never shown up to check on the boy or called or emailed to hint that he even cared.
Naruto had shared with Iruka exactly what Kakashi had meant to him and what that bastard had done in the past.
And it had better stay that way, Iruka grimly thought, the farther he stays away from Naruto the better off the boy will be.

****************
Today he had Biology class, Naruto fidgeted in his seat excitedly; this was his favorite subject other than History. It never ceased to amaze him how living things interacted with each other and all of the things that had been discovered about living organisms since he had awoken in this strangely new and seemingly completely different world.
Naruto kept his eyes to himself; he never interacted with the other students. He figured it wasn’t worth the risk of getting hurt or accidentally hurting someone else in return. Not to mention that no one had even attempted to approach him.
Even if they had Naruto had no idea how to interact with people of this new world. The concept of a friend was not a lesson that he had been taught well.
So imagine his surprise when the teacher announced that today was the day he was assigning lab partners.
Naruto froze.
This can’t be happening, he shivered inwardly, I don’t want to work with another person.
The teacher obviously didn’t care about that because he announced Naruto’s lab partner.
“Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.”
Naruto cringed, and of course I would have to get stuck with that bastard.
While it was true that Naruto had never directly interacted with the other students he still observed them. After all, it was smart to know the weaknesses and strengths of those around you. That way when and if he was attacked he would know exactly was cards to play.
Uchiha Sasuke was an incredibly handsome teen, from an elite family, and always at the top of his class. He was antisocial as well though, portraying a sort of snobbish arrogance whenever someone approached.
Naruto had taken an immediate dislike to him, which said something as Naruto initially disliked everyone who wasn’t Iruka.
A glare at the teacher as if to convey his unhappiness with choice of lab partner, his majesty, the Uchiha got off of his throne and made his way to the empty lab bench seat next to Naruto.
Naruto could barely hold in the urge to flee as Uchiha took the seat next to him.
Maybe I’ll get lucky and he won’t try to speak to me.
“So,” Sasuke uttered, utterly bored out of his skull, irritated that his time was being wasted on such a mundane subject, “I guess I should it make it clear that I will not be taking part in any of the physical requirements for this lab. I will write the findings and that is all.”
His ire rose at the black-haired snob’s assumption and he hissed back before he could stop himself.
“Bastard, you will do the same amount of work as me. I don’t care that you feel fucking entitled to let everyone do every little thing in life for you. In this case it isn’t going to fly.”
That said, Naruto turned his attention back to the teacher who was currently explaining the lab and how to achieve successful results.
Meanwhile, Uchiha couldn’t stop staring at the face of the person who had dared to speak to him in such a way. Who actually demanded that he, the great and powerful Sasuke, get his hands dirty by participating in manual labor!
Still, despite his audacity Sasuke had to admit that Uzumaki was a mystery that intrigued him.
Six months ago Uzumaki Naruto had been placed in his class. Sasuke remembered because up until that moment he hadn’t given a shit about school one way or the other. It was simply something to pass the time.
He’d glanced up front and found himself falling into the bluest eyes he’d ever seen. The fact that those eyes were surrounded by a gorgeous face and body only helped matters.
For the first time in a long time, the Uchiha had found himself almost looking forward to going to school just to observe, analyze, and gaze at the enigma that was Uzumaki Naruto.
A mystery that he had yet to figure out, as this was the first time that Uzumaki had ever spoken to Sasuke. And from what he could tell, anyone at the school. The boy kept to himself and never said a word.
So imagine his surprise when the first words out of Naruto’s mouth were words of admonishment.
Sasuke sighed, Uzumaki had a beautiful voice, and it contained almost a lyrical quality.
He smirked.
If his arrogant behavior could irritate the blonde enough to get him to speak, then that would be enough.
To hear that voice again, Sasuke would go as far as he had to, even revert to childish antics of teasing.
His plan in motion, Sasuke put his head down on his arms and stared at Uzumaki as he was listening with rapt attention to the teacher.
And so his torment of Uzumaki Naruto began.
Hatake Kakashi didn’t know how much longer he could take being separated from Naruto.
He’d held out a year, utilizing his employees that were talented as informants to gather as much information as he could as to the child of loneliness’s activities.
Apparently the boy had lived with Umino for the last year, steadily growing closer to him, and had started to attend school.
Some would call this behavior creepy, sneaky, and the stuff of stalker legend.
Kakashi saw it as keeping tabs on an investment, indeed the biggest investment of his life.
His lip curled in displeasure as he thought of Umino. That bastard is usurping my role in the boy’s life. I was the one who was supposed to protect him and introduce him to the modern world.
That is your own fault and you know it Hatake, the voice that had been with him for the last year berated him, you know very well that you abandoned Naruto and Umino graciously picked up the slack. He has been there for the boy and is now another hurdle that you will have to overcome if you’re hoping to even have a chance.
Knowing the presence’s words to be true, Kakashi grimaced. I know, I know.
All Kakashi really wanted to do was find the boy, wrap him in his arms, and never let him go.
But that was easier said than done. He had to prove that he had changed and that the boy could trust him again.
However, he still hadn’t figured out exactly how to get back into Naruto’s life.
Use your brain Hatake, the voice sniffed disdainfully at him, think of a way that would force the boy to at least acknowledge that you still exist, because as of right now he is barely existing himself.
Kakashi did indeed wrack his brain and thought about all of the information he had obtained about the boy.
Suddenly a maniacal grin lit his face, unseen because of his mask.
The school he attends has been without a principal for quite some time. The grin grew even more; my company owns most of the shares to the school.
Kakashi would have jumped up and down if he’d not been mindful of his surroundings, a stray thought that maybe a see-through glass office had not been the wisest choice.
Now that I have a plan I can finally see him again. Kakashi’s heart ached and his eyes took on a determined glint, and this time he won’t be getting way.
