A/N - This is my first fic, I hope you like it and please go easy on me!! ^.^

Uchiha Sasuke was bored as he sat at his desk, completely ignoring the teacher and staring out the window. It's not like the lecture he was giving was something Sasuke didn't already know.

He sighed and pulled his neck side-to-side, satisfied when it made a loud pop and the tension there was relieved.

"Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke heard Haruno Sakura's whisper but acted as if he didn't. He would never willingly engage in conversation with her. She was annoying.

"Sas-uke-kuuun...."

Sasuke continued looking out the window, hoping she'd get the hint and leave him alone.

Something was touching Sasuke's shoulder, and he had no problem figuring out what it was. Sakura was poking him with her pencil. He clenched his fist under his desk and fought the urge to turn around and yell at her to leave him alone. Taking a deep breath, he unwillingly rotated his to glare at her.

"What?" He snapped, not even bothering to make an effort to whisper.

"This Friday, do you wanna go on a date?" Sakura asked, still whispering, even though Sasuke's voice had gotten the attention of over half the class. The teacher had apparently failed to notice though. Too bad.

"No." He said coldly, turning his head to look out the window again.

Mocking laughter erupted from behind Sasuke and he took a deep breath, wishing that he could just leave class early rather than listen to what he knew was coming. He had better things to be doing than just sitting here.

"Shut up, Ino-pig!" Sakura shrieked, jumping to her feet and pointing a finger at Yamanaka Ino.

"Why should I?" Ino taunted, "It's not like Sasuke is ever going to be interested in you, what with your forehead being large enough for a sun to revolve around."

Sasuke closed his eyes and tried to will himself out of the classroom. He didn't care where he ended up, as long as he didn't have to listen to these two go at it again. He'd seriously rather be in an alternate dimension playing ninja with a bunch of twelve year olds than in this school.

"Sakura, Ino." Kakashi-sensei had finally stopped writing notes on the board and decided to intervene. "How many times do I have to tell you not to fight in my class?"

"It was Ino-pig's fault." Sakura said, her finger still pointing at Ino in dire accusation. "She thinks she's so much better than me, and keeps acting like Sasuke-kun likes her!"

"I'm not acting like I'm better than you, I am better than you." Ino said slyly. "And given the choice, Sasuke would totally choose me over you."

"As far as I can tell," Kakashi interrupted, sounding bored. "Sasuke isn't interested in either of you, which makes your rivalry not only a hindrance to my teaching, but pointless."

Sakura and Ino gaped at Kakashi, as the class erupted with laughter. "Sakura, since you're standing, would you mind picking up where I left off?"

Sakura scowled and picked up her textbook, trying to figure out which section they were in.

Meanwhile, Sasuke hadn't been paying attention to any of this. His eyes were still focused out the window, but instead of looking at nothing in particular like he usually did, his gaze actually had a subject.

On the grounds below, a boy with blond hair had just punched whoever was standing in front of him in the face so hard, that he shot a few feet up in the air before falling to the ground in a heap.

'Hn.' Sasuke thought.

Uzumaki Naruto was not happy with the way his first day of school had started out. He was even more unhappy with where he was now. He looked into the eyes of the student-council president over the large desk between them. It was piled high with papers that looked like they'd been sitting there for months.

"I'm guessing you're the new transfer student?" The student-council president asked, "How troublesome."

Naruto had just opened his mouth to confirm that he was, but apparently that had been a rhetorical question so he snapped in shut again. The student-council president scratched his hair, pulling a few strands of hair loose from his ponytail. "Look, I don't know why you punched Inuzuka in the face, and I don't care. Just don't do it again. Writing up reports is a pain."

"Dude," Naruto said, relieved and dumbfounded that he was off the hook, "How did you even get elected student-council president?" He really was astounded that someone who looked so lazy could get the job.

"Beats me, I didn't even lobby for it. It just kind of happened." He said, shrugging his shoulders and tilting his head toward the window. "The weather looks nice today."

"It is." Naruto said, unsure of whether he was allowed to go or not. "Er...so...?" Naruto was just about to ask if he was free to go, when the door slammed open.

"Shikamaru!" A middle-aged blond woman of about average height walked in with an angry look on her face. "How many times do I have to come down here and tell you that you need to schedule the meetings with the individual class-reps to assign rooms for the cultural festival?"

"Apparently fifteen." Shikamaru said, yawning. "I'll get around to it."

"You've said that fourteen times already." The woman accused, "And it's still not done. Dammit, Shikmaru, I didn't give you the job of student-council president for this reason. Be more responsible."

"I didn't want the job." Shikamaru pointed out. "Sorry, Tsunade-sensei. I was getting around to sorting all that out when I got interrupted."

"Interrupted?" Tsunade blinked around, her vision focusing on Naruto like she just realized he was there. "Are you a student of this school?" She asked him.

"I just transferred in today." Naruto said grudgingly. He really didn't like being treated like he didn't exist. "Uzumaki Naruto."

"Right," She said, as if it was all coming back to her. "I forgot we got a transfer today." She turned to Shikamaru. "So why is he here? You should have sent him to his classes already."

"He punched Inuzuka Kiba." Shikamaru shrugged. "Asuma-sensei sent him here."

Tsunade rounded on Naruto. He shrank back a little in his chair as she bent down toward him. "Let's get one thing straight, Uzumaki Naruto. I do not tolerate violence or fighting of any kind within in my school, especially violence for no reason. I know it's high school and things happen, but unless you had a real reason to fight, you're in tons of trouble."

"I did have a reason!" Naruto said immediately, and regretted the words the second they were out of his mouth.

"Out with it then."

"Um...well...he..."

Tsunade stared at him expectantly.

"He...about....my family....um...." Naruto struggled with the words..

The look on Tsunade's face changed so fast that Naruto didn't even see it happen. "Shikamaru," She said, standing up. "Send Inuzuka to my office. Uzumaki, get to class. You only missed two hours, so you're not too late. Tell your teacher you were with me."

With that, she walked out.

"Who the hell was that?" Naruto eventually asked Shikamaru.

"The principal." He said shrugging.

"Huh."

"Yep."

"She always like that?"

"Yep."

"This school seems a little weird."

"Welcome to Konoha High." Shikamaru said, turning his face away from the window to smirk at Naruto. "We're all freaks he-e-e-r-..." The sentence trailed off into a yawn, but Naruto got the gist of it.

Well, that's reassuring, he thought.

Naruto made his way to class 2-D slowly, trying to find a way to delay the inevitable. He stood in front of the door and sighed heavily before sliding it open.

The whole class looked over at him, but he fixed his eyes on who he assumed was the teacher. The man holding the chalk, with gray hair and a scarf wrapped around the lower part of his face, despite the sweltering heat. At least, he hoped it was the teacher.

"Um...I'm the transfer student." He said, "Uzumaki Naruto." He forced his gaze to remain on the teacher as the room erupted with whispers.

"Did he just say Uzumaki?"

"As in the Uzumaki incident from two years ago?"

"No way."

"Then that can't seriously be..."

Naruto's hands started twitching. He curled them into fists out of habit.

"You're late." The teacher told him, staring at him with two different colored eyes. "You were supposed to be here an hour ago."

"You really don't have room to talk, Kakashi-Sensei." A clear voice rang out about the others. Naruto's gaze shifted toward the source and landed on a raven haired boy who's face was turned to the window.

"It's not my fault I was late this morning. There was this old lady riding a bike, and she didn't realize she was going downhill and..."

"Whatever." The boy said, still not looking away from the window.

"Uzumaki Naruto, huh?" The teacher, Kakashi-sensei, turned back to him. "Welcome to Konoha High, D-Block, Kekkai Genkai unit. You can go ahead and sit down wherever you want."

Naruto nodded and looked around the class as fast as he could. There was only one open seat and that was behind the boy who had just spoken. Naruto practically lunged for it without looking around him. He didn't need to see the looks on their faces, he already knew.

He sank into his chair and closed his eyes, trying to block out the whispers around him.

"Settle down." Kakashi called and the class quieted. "I'm going to make this clear right now. No one is to bother Naruto about his past, and I'm sure anyone who does is someone who wouldn't mind their pasts coming to light." The few remaining whisperers snapped their mouths shut.

"Now then, Naruto, I'll give you a brief explanation of the way things work around here."

Naruto's eyes snapped open and he stared at the teacher.

"On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, we have regular classes, your basic history, English, etc. On Wednesdays and Thursdays the schedule changes a bit, and we have classes specifically designed for the Kekkai Genkai unit. I'm not sure if you know this, but this isn't an entirely normal school you just transferred to. At least not the part your in."

"What do you mean?" He asked, blond brows furrowed in confusion.

"You'll see on Wednesday." Kakashi said, "Annnnd, that's lunch! Be back in an hour!" Kakashi said, before sitting down at his desk and pulling out a book with an alarmingly orange cover.

Naruto was very confused for quite a few reasons, but his main one was he was going to do for lunch. He hadn't even thought about it, and it's not like he had had the chance to make any friends. Not that he'd make any anyways.

With a sigh, he pushed his chair out and stood up. He supposed he could go get some bread at the cafeteria and just eat it wherever there weren't people around...his thoughts trailed off, until he slammed into something hard.

Before Naruto could comprehend what was happening he was toppling forward with whoever he had slammed into. He caught a brief flash of dark hair as he tried to maneuver himself away from falling into the desks, which he failed at miserably because the person he'd run into was trying to do the same.

He landed on top of the boy who had been sitting in front of him, their lips pressed together from the strange position they'd ended up in. He was staring into an extremely dark pair of eyes, which were glaring back.

He jumped to his feet instantly and stumbled a few steps backward.

Screams erupted around him, angry screams. He looked around for the first time since he'd gotten to class. Almost every girl in the room was wailing in outrage, particularly a girl with pink hair and a girl with blond. Naruto swallowed before he glanced at the boy who had just pulled himself to his feet.

"I'm sorr..."

"You are so dead." The guy said, before raising his fist and punching Naruto square in the face.
