"Crap if I'm late again Iruka is gonna kill me!" A blond teen by the name of Naruto said to himself while running down his street at top speed. He couldn't help being so late. He lived really far from school. It was amazing that he'd even gotten into the school, it was even more of a miracle the he managed to get there on time half of the time. Leaf Academy! Also referred to as Kono to some. Kono is an elite school, and is next to impossible to get into. You need either money or talent to get in. Naruto wasn't sure how he got in. He didn't know the details, but according to his mother, one day she got a letter in the mail inviting Naruto to come to leaf academy. Naruto didn't really care about going but his mother insisted and now here he was at Kono. Even though Naruto didn't care about the school now that he was there he was in love with it. The only problem was that along with being talented and rich, you also had to be an asshole to go to LA. It was where the city's biggest jerks were formed.

Naruto finally rushed into class before the bell rang, giving an internal cheer of victory for making it on time.

"Yo Naru! Over here!" One voice said as Naruto walked inside. Naruto looked over with a wide grin, his orange fox ears perking up. His large blue eyes looked over to see his two best friends sitting near the window. Kiba, a brown headed boy with two red triangles on each cheek was waving one arm in the air. Next to him was a redhead, named Gaara.

"On time for once? Must be a bad omen. Maybe something will happen at this year's collar festival." Kiba joked while throwing his head back howling with laughter. Naruto growled at his doggy friend. Gaara just rolled his eyes. All three of them were getting a kick out of this collar festival. The collar festival is a very important time in a young demons life.

It was the time of year they got a mate.

Now this is different from what you may be thinking. A Dominant demon claims a Submissive demon as their own. For two months out of the year a festival goes on. Dominant demons have the entire two months to find which demon they want as their mate and try to collar them. Yes collar. As in the thing you put on your dog.

It may sound a little bad but that is how things have worked for so many years. It is the equivalent to a confession equipped with a rose and a kiss to humans.

Naruto, Gaara and Kiba were all submissive demons, and unmated! And well… they didn't really like half the shitty classmates they have. They are what you would call…outcasts. And they were damn proud of it.

"Kiba, shut up you know how unlikely it is for us to be collared. I mean come on!" Naruto laughed. Just trying to think of someone who might even think of collaring him was just too funny. Soon both boys were laughing hysterically at the thought. Gaara once more rolled his teal eyes, his raccoon ears twitching from the loud laugh Naruto gave. Truly, he knew no one would want to mate them. Two were loud, thickheaded, dumbasses. While the last one would kill anyone who would even think of collaring him.

"Come on lets go, we don't have many classes thanks to the festival starting tonight." Gaara said while standing up from his seat, taking hold of his bag.

"EH!? You're kidding me! Why did you tell me we had a big test today in home room?" Naruto yelled, his fox ears perked up and his blue eyes locked onto Gaara's teals ones. The raccoon only gave a knowing evil smirk.

"To get your ass here on time." Naruto just let his head fall onto his chest. His inner Naruto yelling 'OF COURSE!" Kiba was just dying of laughter on the ground. When Naruto finally calmed down he saw that just him Gaara and Kiba were the only ones in the class.

"Wow the class…" Kiba started to say only for Gaara to finish it. "They left because you were being loud." He joked.

Kiba just rolled his eyes and stood up. Taking his own bag in hand. He hit Naruto over the head and shouted, "Race you Naru-Chan!" He said then hightailed it out of class to get away from the now fuming Fox.

"You damn Mutt, get back here!" Naruto chased after him down the hall his bag still in the room. Rolling his eyes, Gaara picked his blond friends bag up and started walking after his two friends. Already knowing where they were headed. Besides this happened everyday, so why hurry?

He didn't see the three boys that were watching the whole scene from the sidelines in the hall.
