New Kid
Chapter 7: Monday.
A coincidence, uhh… yeah no. Naruto did see that man again.
And he was going to see him every day for the rest of the year.
And why was this? He’s Jiraiya sensei’s assistant teacher for history.
It went something like this-
“Ok people, because of a small delay, my assistant was held up. But he’s here today.” Jiraiya explained.
Naruto thought he heard a low growl from Sasuke’s direction.
The same man from Saturday walked in to the class.
Oh yeah it’s no coincidence, I do know this man. thought Naruto. And now i'm going to get to know him better...
“Class, meet Uchiha Itachi, my assistant.” Jiraiya said.
A pencil snapped.
“Nice to meet you all.” He immediately eyed Naruto who quickly looked away.
So after that, the rest of the class went by with Naruto avoiding Itachi’s eyes. And Gaara’s, and Sasuke’s, and Kiba’s. It was to much for him to handle.
And that’s how it happened.
:~~~:
Gaara may have been a cold bastard to a lot of people, he wasn’t supposed to be to Naruto. Naruto was the reason he was still alive for a lot of things.
It was really bad, Naruto was the reason he still didn’t kill people for the hell of it. Now he isn’t even talking to him. He did have the right to be mad at Gaara.
He acted so stupidly, he wasn't even thinking. Something just popped in his head, he hated it immediatly, so he tried to hang himself.
Naruto saved him.
Again.
Naruto was actually, The only friend I ever had. It was true. Kazahana was up there but no where close to Naruto’s ranking. Naruto saved him from himself, but now the only thing Gaara ever cared about was lost, and maybe this time, forever.
:~~~:
Naruto walked down to go and put his stuff in the orchestra room until he ran into Kiba.
“Oh hey Naruto! Didn’t expect to run into you!” Kiba lied.
He wanted to get to know Naruto a little more. He was the flirtatious type, after all. Flirting with a cute little fox was good for him
“Err…hello?” Naruto said.
He continued down the hall.
“So I heard that you and your friend Gaara aren’t talking.” Kiba struck a nerve.
“That has nothing to do with you and it’s none of your business nor anyone else’s! You tell whoever’s gossiping about that to keep their fucking mouths shut other wise I’ll do it for them!” Naruto stalked off.
Kiba stared after him, “Hot -headed little one isn’t he?”
:~~~:
Sasuke walked down the hall fuming over Itachi, “Bastard brother, fucking bastard, nosey...bastard.” he could think of a million bastard- compounds, and all for Itachi
Then, he thought he heard someone sobbing. He walked towards the bathroom where it was coming from.
“Err… hello?” He walked in, “Is anyone in here?” The sobbing immediately stopped.
Sasuke checked all the stalls, but there wasn’t anyone in there, just him.
Quickly he left, Who was that? He thought to himself. A moment later, Naruto came out of the boy’s bathroom, face splashed with water.
That’s impossible! There was no one in there with me when I checked, I was sure of it. Sasuke thought surprised.
Naruto looked at Sasuke standing there with a weird look on his face.
“Uhh, hey Sasuke. Is something…the matter?” the blonde asked as of he didn’t already know.
“No- nothing. I just thought...no one was in there.”
“In where?”
“Alright seriously, quit acting like that urasutonkachi.”
“Urasutonkachi?”
“Yeah.”
“Hmph, teme” What’s this odd feeling? I’ve never felt like this before… it’s weird...
“You know what, just forget it you dobe.”
“Oh you have another name for me? You people rich are all alike.”
“Like what?”
“Go away.”
“Not until you tell me.”
“Nope.”
“So Sasuke, who’s your little friend, I believe we weren’t properly introduced the other day.” Itachi popped up.
“What do you want?” Sasuke snapped.
“To meet one of my little brother’s little friends.” Itachi said looking at Naruto.
Naruto looked curiously at the two, “Wait- you two are… brothers?”
Itachi nodded, “So are you going to?” After a deep sigh Sasuke started.
“Naruto, this is my- older brother Uchiha Itachi. Itachi this is a friend of mine, Uzumaki Naruto.”
Friend? Naruto thought.
Itachi held out his hand to shake, hesitatingly, Naruto shook it.
“Nice to see you again, Naruto-kun.” Itachi smiled.
…Again?! Sasuke thought stunned.
Naruto quickly pulled his hand away, “I’m sorry- what do you mean ‘again‘?” So it was true
“You were young, so you probably wouldn’t remember.”
“… Later Sasuke. Err…Itachi sensei.” Naruto ran off.
“What do you mean by ‘again’?” Sasuke snapped
“Hmm…I guess I never told you. But there’d be no point in telling you now, you’ll see.” Itachi walked off leaving Sasuke to stand alone in the hall.
:~~~:
Orchestra slurred on into reading as Naruto thought of Itachi.
Then I must know this man, it’d be wrong if I didn’t because he obviously knows me. But how? It must have been when I was a kid, because he said it was when I was young.
“Uzumaki san, would you please pay attention. We can’t have you blanking out in class all the time.” Kurenai sensei said.
Everyone looked at Naruto.
“Sorry Kurenai sensei, I was...thinking about something.” Naruto sat up right.
Sasuke knew exactly what he was thinking about, Itachi. He was going to get information out of him if it killed him or not.
“Next Thursday we will be discussing a news paper article from nine years ago.” Kurenai explained. “After that, you will write a page essay on what you thought of it.” The class groaned.
The bell rang, “Ok you’re dismissed for lunch.”
:~~~:
Naruto sat by himself at lunch, he wasn’t really hungry and didn’t feel like talking to anyone.
Chouji looked at Naruto between bites, “Hey Shikamaru, do you think we should go sit with him? He looks lonely.”
“Wow Chouji, to think you cared that much to stop eating and say something.” Kiba laughed.
“Just leave him alone, it’s not like he’s a little kid.” Everyone looked at Shino. When he says something it was best just to listen to it.
Gaara looked at Naruto from afar. He got out of his seat and walked over to the table he was sitting at.
Naruto looked down until a shadow was over him. He looked up.
“Hey- Naruto.” Gaara stalled.
Naruto didn’t say anything, just stared at Gaara as if he was someone he just didn’t know. He looked back down.
“Gaara…why? Why’d you do it? It couldn't have been because you wanted to...” Naruto’s eyes started to fill with tears, “Do you really hate your life that much?”
Gaara didn’t say anything.
“I thought I could always trust you to always be there for me. You even promised me you would. Every time it happened, you were always there to comfort me.” Naruto started to cry.
Oh shit, please don’ t cry Naruto. Don’t cause a scene here. Not in front of all these people. Gaara thought.
“Naruto, don’t cry. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to.” Wait, hold up a minute, did Mt. Gaara just say he was sorry? The unmovable, untouchable, unsociable Gaara?
No. Way.
Even though he didn’t say it that loud, the whole cafeteria heard him.
Naruto looked around as response to the silence. Everyone was looking at him and Gaara.
He got up. He grabbed Gaara’s arm, “No. No more. You don’t have to say anymore because you’ve already said enough.”
He dragged Gaara out of the cafeteria while everyone started to murmur.
Sasuke watched as Naruto took Gaara out of the cafeteria.
“What did I tell you? That boy’s not a little kid, he can take care of himself.” Shino said finishing his lunch.
:~~~:
Naruto took Gaara to the bathroom.
“Listen Naruto-” Gaara started
“Seriously Gaara, do you know how stupid that was? No, of course you don’t otherwise you wouldn’t of done it.” Naruto said with his back turned.
“You remember the promise that you and I made when we were kids? You’d always be there for me and I’d always be there for you. It’s the promise of a lifetime. You were ready break that promise. You were gonna stop being there for me, and if that happened,” Naruto took a breath, "Who was I going to be there for? No one.”
Gaara was silent with his head down and immobile.
“I’m not mad at you any more,or maybe I am...I haven't made up my mind yet. ” Gaara looked up, “But it’s going to take some time for me to get over this whole fiasco. Give me a day or two, and I’ll be good.” Naruto left Gaara in the bathroom.
:~~~:
The rest of the day seemed to fall into itself
Naruto was walking home sweating, “Ugh, stupid Gai sensei making us run five miles, always talking about the ’power of youth’. He can be really annoying.” Naruto stopped and looked at the sky, On another note, that day is coming. I hope no one knows about it, I really hate that day.
Naruto really hated his birthday, it held awful memories for him. That was the day his father died, a year later on that same day his mom abandoned him at an orphanage and he later found out she killed herself. And whe he was six, some one decided to celebrate his birthday by having him raped.
Stupid day, I wish it would go away and leave me the hell alone.
