Chapter 1 "The Geek And The Pitcher"
-
"Whooo, let's go Konoha." A blond haired boy yelled, his blond hair stretched below his blue eyes, blocking his vision somewhat, the 14year old boy clapped at the boys baseball team in matching uniforms, he sat at the dirty colored benches on the side lines behind the big metal fence, sitting in his lap was a paper plate of nachos with cheese covered over in a thick layer. He munched and watched the players running and throwing the ball back and forth between three base to the second base man, on the pitchers mount was him.
Uchiha Sasuke the pitcher, the captain, he had everyone attention, no eyes were off him. In one beautiful movement, he pitched the ball, he thrown a fast ball, the catcher caught it with ease. The catcher was the only one who could catch and not be hurt by Sasuke's incredible throwing arm. They did a few warm up throws before the game started.
Late into the game, the game was close to the end, the score: K-18 to S-17. Konoha was out on the field, Sound was up to bat, two outs and the bases were full, he had one strike on this red haired boy, two more and his team will win.
"Go Konoha! Go!" The blond chanted, the other people around him scooted away, like he had a bad oder or something. He had just order another plate of nachos, when the star pitcher threw the ball, the red haired had swung the bat, up, up and foul ball right into the stands, and into one particular blonds nachos. The ball hit right in the center, splashing food up and onto the shocked and surprised face of the blond's face.
Everyone around him laughed and small kids pointed, even the whole baseball team laughed, and even Sound team joined in on the laughter, only two people hadn't, they didn't even look at him, Sasuke and the red haired boy who was up to bat. Sasuke had a grim looked on his face, he didn't want to lose, but a foul ball means strike two, one more throw and they will win.
Naruto blushed and plucked his glasses from his face, he untucked his shirt, rubbing the cheese stains off and onto his was stainless Hulk T-shirt, he then looked up, his eyes squinted, he could barely see two feet pass his nose, a whole bunch of blurry colors were seem with his poor eye sight. He heard a couple of sounds like people cheering, did Sasuke threw the ball already? Damnit, he couldn't see, people started cheering even louder. He immediately shoved his stave-irkles glasses back on, cheese stains smeared over the lens, still he couldn't see through them. He heard people screaming and running onto the field, he started clapping again as he squinted his eyes once again, Konoha had won and he missed it. He felt a bit stupid he had miss the last pitch when he was the first one here, waiting for the game to start, he calculated, he been here for 3hours.
He could tell people were leaving the field, he then remembered he had alcohol pads in his pocket, he grimes and un-pocketed the whips with one hand and the other pulling his glasses off, rubbing the alcohol pad back and forth, he did the same to the other lens. He had the ends in his both hands, putting them on, he was in time to see Uchiha Sasuke smiled as his teammates patting him on the back, their were other un-players surrendering him as if he was the sun.
Sasuke broke from the crowd and the others immediately followed after him. The deep bright blue eyes followed, Naruto silently wishing he was apart of his crowd or for that any crowd, he had no friends, no one to talk to. He got up, walking over to the trash can, throwing the alcohol wipes in, then followed by two empty baskets. He left the ballpark without a glance back.
-
He had a feeling something bad was about to happen. He could feel their eyes on the back of his head, he wanted to bolt but that wouldn't work he wasn't that fast, there was one way he could tell before it they jumped him, three shadow figures appeared in front of him before the trio jumped him from behind...no less. No honor among gangs! Naruto thought before he was pushed to the ground. He flipped to see his regular bullies, he knew this day wouldn't end unless he was beaten up by them.
Kiba, Shino, and Shikamaru were the names and Sasuke must personal friends. The stood over the frighted boy, with smirks on each of their faces.
"Hey, dork ya miss us?" Kiba chuckled out.
Naruto gulped, his eyes were on Kiba and then to Shino who just stood there quietly. Shikamaru looked pissed today, which made Naruto more scared. Shikamaru was the worst one of them all and he being pissed meant he'll be punching him in the face.
The predatory gleam struck in the Nara eyes, he stepped forward, readying his fist for the first blow to the whimming boy on the ground.
-
He flinched at the powerful feeling in his gut, Kiba had viciously kicked him at, his glasses had been broken by Shikamaru fisted to his right eye, his lip was cut in the middle, he had a few scratches that bleed through his clothes, a few bruises on his cheek, he also bruised very easily. He knew he already had a bruise where Kiba kicked him just 5mintues ago. His arm held loosely to his side, those dicks took his backpack too, probably going to steal his homework or find something they could taunt him with.
His shirt was ripping at the sleeves and his shirt un-tuck from his pants, his favitor pants were dirty, there was droplets of blood on them as well. He could imaged his mother face, all worried and scared for him.
-
"Naruto, my baby what happen to you?" His mother threw her arms around her bruised up son. She had saw her son out from the kitchen window, she was washing dishes at the time, she then looked up to get a glimpsed of her son bruised up body, she ran to the door thrown open the door as he stared up at her. She attends to baby him, a lot. He was so adorable who could have done this?
"Mom. I am OK." Naruto smiled and winched at his sore lip. "Can I just go to my room." Naruto pouted at her.
Kushina sighed, tucking back her red locks, she kneeled and rubbed her hands on her son shoulder's sides. "OK Naruto. I'll call you when dinner's ready."
Naruto shifted passed his mother and slowly went up the stairs, forcing his body to move to his room, he felt hurt and alone, he wished he could just talk to someone that wasn't his mother. He slammed on his door, forcing it open, he shut the door and fell back on it, he stared out the window, everything outside was happy and calm. Why can't Naruto just have one friend? Was he that much of a loser?
He pushed himself off his door with one hand, his legs hurt from the stairs he had taking, he fell on top of his made bed, probably his mother's doing. His face was emotionless as he stared at his closet, the door to his closet had fallen off long ago, the broken door was leaned on a wall next to it. He tried fixing it, but didn't know how? He wanted to take shop class, but he had enough bullies picking on him as it was. He shifted onto his back, he then un-pocketed his broken glasses, it was broken in half and one of the lens was pop out, probably from someone stepping on them.
Naruto sat up and leaned over to the little table, gentle placing the broken pieces down next to the blue colored lamp, reaching up the lamp to the switch, switching it on. His eyes squinted as he rolled over onto his back. Nobody was this lonely. Naruto then sat back up, reaching for on of his comic book, flipping through the pages where he left off before going to the game. His favorite issue of The Hulk was laying on his lap, reading the bubble words before going to the next one.
He spent a good half an hour reading before he was called to dinner. He pulled himself from his bed, rubbing his sore lip as he descent the stairway, couple of steps creek as he heavily dropped his feet on the steps. His finger traced the sore, rubbing the sore in small circle's with his thumb.
Kushina smiled up at Naruto as she set down a plate for him. "Naruto, do you what to talk about what happened?" Her hands smoothed down her apron with blue and red birds flying around.
Naruto pulled out his chair and flopped down. "No. I'm fine, really mom I am."
-
"Naruto time you wake to a new day." She whispered sweetly into her son's ear, her hands combed through his spiky blond hair.
A blue eye shyly opened, pointing up to her face.
"Are you going to get up?" She ran her palm over his forehead, "Are you feeling well? You want to stay home?"
The blue eye closed again, "Mom, I'm fine." His voice was muffed by the pillow.
She gracefully stood up, "You can stay home if you want to." She left his room to go make breakfast.
-
Naruto slowly walked to school, he did wanted to stay home for the day, he didn't want his bullies to think he was that lame from one beating he received yesterday. He missed his backpack, what was worse that he had his latest Spider-Man issue in it. His bullies probably already torn it up, and will throw it in his face today to embarrass him in front of their classmates.
Naruto stared ahead, not even realizing that a black car pulled up next to him. Naruto stopped in his tracks, his eyes squinted, he still had no glasses, he could barely see.
The window rolled down, a jet-black boy slipped a bookbag out and towards Naruto. It was his bookbag, taking his bookbag in his hands, he caught mid-night eyes with his own.
"You're Naruto, right?" His deep voice seemed to purred through his lips and into his ear.
Naruto stared and dumbly nodded.
"Sorry about my friends. They need to grow up." Sasuke voice once again purred. The boy smirked as he rolled his window up. The car speed up and headed to school.
Naruto stood there, his eyes were brought to his bag, unzipping to find his Spider-Man. He huffed a relieved sigh, it was safe once again, no evil harmed his comic book. He blushed as his eyes shot over his Spider-Man book, he silently thanked Sasuke for the this small miracle, he even said his name and he knew his name too!
Oh, wait. His mother had wrote in on his book bag...
-
Naruto shyly stared at the boy in the front row, he was a few seats back and on another row, he was glad one person wasn't mean too him, the only problem was that he was popular and will ignore him when given the chance.
"NARUTO UZUMAKI COME TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!!"
Naruto 'immediately' slouched in his desk, he pulled his bookbag from the ground and went passed the raven and to the door, walking slowly down the hallway, turning a corner to see his aunt and uncle, his aunt was sitting and crying into her hands, her husband had a hand over her shoulder, for some reason his heart clutched as if something was squeezing it. His uncle was the first to see him, his hand on his wife gave a small push, her tearful green eyes looked up at him, her head swung in the direction of her husband's. She wobble her way to stand, she came jogging towards Naruto, her arms swung around his shoulder and waist, pulling his and her body together.
"Naruto, its your mother, my little sister." She couldn't form any words after that. Her husband came strolling over to the pair, one crying the other stared emotionless ahead of him.
-
"Class I just got word. Naruto Uzumaki mother just passed away. He'll no longer be coming to school as he moved away to his Aunt's house in Honshu." The teacher in front slowly moved back to teaching.
A girl shifted to someone next to her, "Who's Naruto Uzumaki?" She whispered.
She received a shrugged from the clueless girl.
...To Be Continued...Author's Note- No comic books were harmed during the making of his story. Lol
I came up with this because Naruto should have revenge the same as Sasuke does.
