Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto. Unless I'm secretly Kishimoto and I secretly love Sasunaru and Secretly made this account to write it!
Warnings: Sasunaru
A/N: I had to rewrite the whole second chapter of Happenstance, I kinda got tired of it so I started writing this. I will finish Happenstance but the second chapter of this story will probably come out sooner as it is already written and I just need to edit it!
"Will that be all Sasuke-sama?" A gray haired boy with round glasses asked as he cleared cups from a chestnut desk.
Hearing no answer, Kabuto watched Sasuke uncertainly while holding the coffee cups in one hand and a huge file folder in the other.
Sasuke rubbed his temples, it was barely the first day of school and already he had a headache.
"Yeah" He leaned back in his black leather chair for a much deserved rest.
Kabuto turned to leave.
"Wait" Sasuke said sitting up again.
Kabuto turned around hopefully.
"I need the list of new students for this year."
His assistant struggled with the folder and cups and settled on putting the cups on the floor as he searched his folders. He pulled out a manila one and handed it over. "There are 260 new students this year, 210 freshman, 35 sophomores, 11 juniors and 4 seniors."
Sasuke opened the folder browsing through. "Four seniors? That's more than any other year." He turned the page toward the seniors' column and scanned the list, his eyes stopped at a particular name.
"Uzumaki Naruto?" He thought for a second. "The actor?"
Kabuto rummaged through his other files and pulled out another less bulky folder and placed it on his desk. "I figured you'd want to see the seniors' records."
Sasuke opened the folder and clenched his fists; his eyes were drawn to a pair of eyes, a pair of piercing blue eyes.
"It was all over the news" Kabuto stated. "Uzumaki Naruto the award winning actor retires from acting. At the young age of seventeen he gave it all up to finish high school and not just anywhere, but here at the prestigious Uchiha Akiro Academy. The best education he could find no doubt" He smiled smugly at himself, and turned toward Sasuke.
Sasuke had his hands clenched; his head was hovering mere inches from the desk. Suddenly he looked up eyes ablaze. "You know I don't watch TV, NOW GET OUT!"
Kabuto slightly cringed but immediately left, leaving behind a fuming Sasuke. Sasuke stayed at his desk looking at the picture again, he saw the smiling face, overly blue eyes and that bright hair of gold. He slammed his hands on the photo and made a promise.
"I'll get you Uzumaki Naruto."
"Naruto over here, Naruto over here"
"Did you really retire from acting?"
"Are you still dating Hinata Hyuuga?"
"What did you name your car again?"
Naruto stepped out of his signature orange Bugatti Veryon (-1-), surrounded by his three trusting bodyguards. He knew it was gonna be crazy but this was ridiculous. His first day at a regular high school had a turn out of hundreds of fans, not to mention the press who took a photo of every move he made. He made his way out of the parking lot toward the main gate. He was glad he let Neji handle security, if not there wouldn't be gates holding back the crazy fans and the paparazzi. He turned toward Neji who was walking by him as usual looking around cautiously, Chouji stood on the other side of him snacking on chips, while Shikamaru stood in front of him trying to look intimidating, but he just came out looking bored.
Naruto ignored all questions. He really didn't know why there were still questions about his retiring; he held a press conference and announced it very clearly. He'd announced that he was going back to school and that he'd like to be left alone. Of course to the rest of the world that meant they should come bother him on his first day. He turned his attention toward the school, determined not to let the press get to him.
As he approached the main gate he saw a small group of people greeting students, he walked confidently up to them. There was an old man in a weird outfit, behind him a blonde woman with pigtails and another woman behind her; who held a leash, Naruto looked down to see a small pink pig. Naruto stared at the pig and shrugged figuring it was some sort of mascot. Beside her there were two students who wore the same uniform as him, only they also had a white armband with gold stripes across the length. The rest of the uniform consisted of a navy blue jacket with the Uchiha crest on the right breast, a black tie, black pants, and a white undershirt.
He approached them noticing that their gazes fell on him. They whispered to each other for a second before Naruto reached the group. The old man was smoking a pipe, was there smoking allowed in school? He walked up to the man following other student's examples and shook his hand.
"Uzumaki Naruto I'm the headmaster of this school, I look forward to seeing you further your education." he said his voice raspy with age. Naruto took this opportunity and studied him further; he had kind eyes and an air about him that made him seem so wise. He stared at the man's weird hat then he looked at his mouth; his lips were pursed around the pipe and on closer inspection he noticed the pipe wasn't lit.
The Headmaster must have seen Naruto eyeing it because out of nowhere he said "It's an old habit, I can't think without it."
Naruto smiled at him unsure of what to say.
"Then why are you dressed so funny old man?" If this sentence had been said by anyone other than Naruto it would have sounded rude but coming from Naruto it sounded boyish.
The old man beamed deepening his smile wrinkles "This is the traditional uniform chosen by this founder of the school to wear at opening ceremonies." He said proudly, smiling more than he was before.
Naruto nodded and shook the rest of the groups' hands. Each welcomed him as a new student. The blonde woman turned out to be the second in command. She had greeted him with a "How you doing brat, my name Tsunade-sama you got that? None of that Miss or Mrs. crap." She shook his hand roughly and smiled at him. When he was released from the death grip he was introduced to the pig lady or so he called her in his mind.
She shook his hand softly, "I'm Shizune, I'm the Counselor. Please don't mind Tsunade, she's just trying to scare you." She scratched the back of her head nervously.
He didn't really have time to respond to anyone as more kids were shaking their hands as well.
He was introduced to the guys who were dressed like him; they were Student Council president and vice president.
"Oh so your in charge of everything?" Naruto asked.
"The president shook his head. "Oh no that would be the Emperor."
Naruto looked confused "The emperor? Who's that?"
But before he could answer Naruto was pushed by Neji and he was ushered toward an auditorium.
He walked in and every head turned toward him as if expecting him. He smiled sheepishly at everyone, but on the inside Naruto was nervous. Even though Naruto had been in dozens of movies and was constantly in the public eye he couldn't help but feel nervous.
The auditorium was separated into four different areas; the seniors at the front followed by the juniors, with the sophomores behind them, and the freshmen at the back. He noticed no one sitting in the very first row so he took those seats, his entourage following. He ignored all the conversations going on around him because he knew they were all about him. He stared at the stage hoping to take his mind off everything. There was a podium with a mic, chairs behind it, all in front of huge dark blue curtains, off to the sides were flags of the country, state and school.
"Seen him yet?" Naruto leaned into Neji.
"No" he answered.
Just then the group that had greeted them came onto stage filling all but one of the chairs. They were joined by business looking men. The headmaster stood up and addressed the now silent students.
"Hello and welcome everyone I am Headmaster Sarutobi. It is my greatest pleasure to be serving as headmaster for another year. As many of you know I attended this fine establishment myself…"
Naruto was already bored; so he settled on twiddling his thumbs and decided it was far more entertaining. Naruto managed to catch a few of his words "…integrity…elegant…"
When the old man finished Naruto straightened out hopefully only to see another pudgy man get up and walk to the podium. He was plump and had a shiny bald head; he wore a brown suit that made him look like a potato. Naruto slouched again from what he heard he determined the potato was the superintendent of the school and was proud of it.
Naruto couldn't bear to listen anymore. Remember why you're here. Remember your goal. He was lost in thought and was only pulled down to earth again when he felt a tug on his arm, he looked over at Neji who motioned to the stage. He saw a black haired student join the group on stage, he took the empty seat and sat there as if he'd been there the whole time.
That was him no doubt about it, Naruto had memorized the boys face, he saw the black unkempt hair sticking up, those dark black eyes and that pale skin that haunted his dreams. He couldn't believe he was looking at the actual person and not the picture he'd been staring at for the last year.
He was vaguely aware of people applauding around him, he saw the student council vice president take a seat. It was then that Uchiha Sasuke stood up, blue eyes followed his every move, every sense was concentrated on this single person. Sasuke approached the podium, girls cheered even louder. Sasuke closed his eyes as if concentrating, then opened them and for the first time Naruto heard his voice.
"My fellow classmates" he began. Naruto memorized the tone of his voice; he heard the cockiness in his voice that he surely must own with his good looks and family history.
"I know how boring these speeches are." At this everyone shifted in there seats and the people onstage exchanged glances.
He was of course Uchiha Sasuke the great-great-great grandson of the founder of the academy. And whose family's money kept the school operating. So of course he could say these things he knew it and so did everyone else. He smirked; Naruto was on the edge of his seat waiting for him to speak again.
"So I'll keep it short. I'm not The Emperor because you elected me; I'm The Emperor because I'm an Uchiha." Then his eyes found Naruto's, their eyes met: azure vs. charcoal they didn't smile they simply acknowledged each other's existence, each taking in one another.
He snapped out of the gaze losing the battle, he looked around confused as if he had just remembered where he was. He quickly turned and walked off the stage still looking confused as ever, leaving behind an array of questioning whispers and hushed gossiping. As soon as Sasuke was out of sight Naruto leaned back in his chair almost trembling. He stayed sitting as everyone stood up and exited the auditorium. The four of them stayed glancing at each other.
Finally Neji asked. "So what do you think?" he looked around at their small group.
Chouji shook his head throwing more chips into his mouth. "He scares me."
"Troublesome." Shikamaru shrugged and leaned back putting his arms around the chairs.
"And you?" Neji gestured toward the blonde.
There was a moment of silence as they waited for him to answer; they glanced at each other nervously as the blonde searched his hands for an answer.
"It's gonna be fun." He finally answered. He looked up at them with a new determination.
Neji smirked, "Okay let's get to class."
.When they all signed up to attend the academy for Naruto's benefit they all enrolled in the same classes as well. Their first class was History they made their way to room 311. When they arrived they were immediately bombarded with fans.
"Naruto what it's like to be in the movies?"
"Why'd you come back to school?"
Naruto looked around at the small group that surrounded him; they looked no different than the paparazzi. It made him uncomfortable so he did the only thing he could think to do; he acted. When they asked him questions he answered their questions with a smile. He noticed every girl looking at him like they wanted to eat him up. He sat there till their teacher came and calmed everyone down.
He came in looking at the class, his eyes stopped on Naruto. Naruto was afraid he'd say something but was surprised when he said. "Hello all. My name is Hatake Kakashi, you can call me Kakashi-sensei and I'll be your History teacher for this semester."
The rest of the class went on normally. As soon as Naruto had had a chance he stood and turned to obtain full view access to the room. He searched the students for jet black hair. He saw none and sat back in his seat.
The rest of the day, he'd cautiously turn at every black hair that came in the room or passed him in the hallway and was met with disappointment every time. At the end of the day he sulked to his car.
"Sasuke-sama." A breathless Kabuto called after the running raven. They were running by the art building heading toward the main entrance.
The bell had just rung and Sasuke was running towards the parking lot near the main gate.
"Sasuke-sama where are you going you still have meetings?" Sasuke ignored him and continued at a faster pace, his destination was just in view: the gates loomed closer. He squinted looking to see if he saw a blonde head walking around.
"Sasuke-sama."
Sasuke reached the gate just in time to see his orange car leaving. He saw photographers taking pictures of the car as it sped off. He mused at their stupidity, what kind of headline would that make? 'Celebrity leaves his first day of school'
"Dammit" he yelled as he stomped the ground.
Oh well what did he expect, it was the first day of school he would have plenty of chances.
He turned to the panting Kabuto "Sasuke-sama what were you looking for?"
Sasuke once again ignored him and headed back in the direction of his office.
"Kabuto" Sasuke demanded hurriedly.
"Yes" Kabuto sprung up, he was glad to be finally getting some attention.
"Change all my classes so I'm with Uzumaki Naruto. I wanna keep a close eye on him."
The silver haired man frowned. Why's he so obsessed with Uzumaki Naruto, he's never interested in anything. "But I still don't see…"
"Sasuke" a deep voice growled.
They both turned to see a tall man in a business suit; he had pitch black hair that was oiled down his head. He had a long nose that made him look like some lame evil villain. His face was scrunched into a scowl, whether it was from his current mood or if it was always like that no one could tell.
Kabuto gave a small bow. "Fugaku-dono."
Sasuke winced at the bow; the large man however paid no mind to it and kept his eyes on Sasuke. Sasuke stood up to his fathers gaze, he managed to let no emotion come across his face, but he couldn't bring himself to meet his eyes.
"Come to see me on my first day Father?" He asked almost sarcastically.
The man grunted "You know why I'm here Sasuke"
Sasuke couldn't help but cower a little as his name was said. No one else could make Sasuke feel so much like a kid, no one except maybe Itachi. Sasuke hated it, it made him feel powerless.
"Sasuke did you think I would not find out about this morning." He asked making a face of disgust.
Sasuke stood there helpless now staring into his fathers dark eyes, eyes he feared and eyes he saw every time he looked in the mirror.
"I though I told you if you should do anything to bring shame to the Uchiha name, I will disown you." He leaned in closer to Sasuke putting his hands on the young Uchiha's shoulders and added in a low gruff voice. "And you know what that means."
He turned away leaving a very shaken Sasuke, he gave a short nod to Kabuto "Kabi, always a pleasure." Kabuto nodded in response as the daunting figure was swept into his Limo. Sasuke waited for the flashy oversized car to pull away. It didn't move but the back window rolled down smoothly.
"I heard Uzumaki Naruto's enrolled here" He said through the cigar in his mouth. "Be nice to him Sasuke I know how cold you can be, but not too nice." He chuckled slightly and motioned to the chauffer to drive on. Sasuke and Kabuto were left in an awkward silence, Sasuke looking down shamefully.
Kabuto tried to lighten the mood "We've been friends since childhood and he still calls me Kabi" He laughed but stopped when he saw Sasuke's angry face.
"I guess you shouldn't say anything like what you said this morning Sasuke-sama."
Sasuke turned and yelled. "That bastard didn't want talk to me about this morning, it was about Naruto!"
"What do you mean? He said…"
"FORGET IT!!" Sasuke turned and ran back to his office.
"Itadakimasu"
Naruto stuffed his mouth with his favorite Ramen: Pork Miso.
"You do realize we just ate lunch at school." Neji said, an empty space in front of him on the table. He looked on disgustedly at his companions, turned on his phone and started playing Tetris.
"Soo whet its almust dinnr time" the blonde defended himself through a mouth full of noodles.
Chouji made a choking sound and added. "Yeah and they call that food portion size? It was tiny!" He stuffed more meat in his mouth.
Between bites Shikamaru said "Its troublesome if I don't eat."
Neji sighed and continued his game.
"Plus" Naruto started talking again "I told the old man I'd keep coming back even after I became famous AND he hasn't told the papers about me or anything. I guess it's also so his shop won't be overcrowded cause of me."
"I think he'd prefer that" Neji said not glancing away from his phone.
"So that Sasuke guy isn't in any if our classes." Chouji said finishing up the last of his noodles. He waved to the waitress for another bowl.
Naruto nodded his head. "I didn't expect that." He paused from taking a bite of his noodles and stopped to think, a rare combination. He looked around the small Ramen Shop for an answer. He saw his picture hanging by the door, underneath it read: #1 Costumer.
He looked back at his friends, they stared at him expectantly he smiled and scratched his head. "I guess we'll have to go with the flow." If this was an anime they would have all fallen out of their chairs.(-2-) Instead Shikamaru frowned and shook his head, Chouji shrugged his shoulders and ordered his third bowl of Ramen, Neji slapped him across the head and called him a "baka"
"Ow that hurt you dumbass." The blonde said rubbing the back of his head.
"Sue me then." He laughed forgetting about his game of Tetris.
Naruto ignored him and went on. "Even if I…you know…talk to him what if he doesn't…well you know find me attractive?" He turned away blushing.
"Are you kidding?" Neji burst out "we all saw how he looked at you at assembly."
"How'd he look at me." Naruto questioned.
"I know how he looked." Chouji offered. "He looked hungry."
Naruto frowned at this "He was hungry? I don't get what that has to do with me."
Shikamaru laughed "you really are an idiot."
"Lets seeee" Neji mused" Let me put it this way; he looked hungry WHILE he was looking at you." Neji emphasized with a poke on Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto's eyes widened he looked away from the table pretending to be absorbed in a very fine plant that sat in the corner, it had very waxy leaves.
Neji broke the silence. "We're pretty sure of his sexual preference. Plus you're the hottest celebrity on earth, and look at you!"
Naruto stared down at himself briefly.
"Sheesh what are you gay." Shikamaru commented.
"Yeah right" Neji practically screamed. "I just wanna get this done and over with so we can go home cause being a bodyguard sucks. No offense Naruto but I'd never take a bullet for you." They all laughed.
"Hey I'd take a bullet for YOU!" They laughed even harder at that. Naruto sulked and downed the rest of his bowl.
They each paid for their bowl, or in Naruto's and Chouji's case 3 bowls, of Ramen and left happily. Once in the car Naruto sped off toward the apartment he was renting.
When they got home they discussed various ways they could make Uchiha Sasuke fall in love with Naruto.
(-1-) Nice Ass Car! Check it out!
(-2-) You know in Anime's when something absurd happens so a character falls, it's like that. Example, in ep 101 of Naruto when Kakashi shows them what is under his mask and it turns out to be another mask.
