Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Dotless Dice ❯ Trash Like You ( Chapter 10 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Simple as cake.
Wow, yesterday I was all "where are all the reviews for chapter 9? Did everyone run off because of the NaruSasu lemon?" But then at night the reviews went from 144 to 155 so I was all... ok, nvm, they probably just like to read at night. Like little owl people. Hoo-hoot~! Unless they're from somewhere like Poland, like one of my reviewers. Then it's like... day time over there, right?
Well, it's nine in the morning and I have nothing to do, so I will type this up! And I want to know from you guys if you'd like a second fanfic to read as well? I was thinking of a SasuNaru fic that's sorta like the Lion King O.o I watched Simba's Pride yesterday and I have a little obsession with kitties now! So tell me in your reviews if you'd like it. Or you can give me suggestions on any particular plot you've always wanted to read about, but have never seen yet. My brain's dead because of the greasy funnel cake I had last night, so I can't think, heh.
Sasuke's eyes fluttered open and he held back a yawn as he pushed a few strands of hair out of his face. He looked over in hope of seeing Naruto lying next to him, but his heart dropped into his stomach when there was no one there. His hand pressed against the spot the blond had been last night and there wasn't even a patch of warmth left.
Just like everyone else... he sneered. But this time his anger was just covering up his sadness.
"Oh, you're up!"
Sasuke's body stiffened and he turned, a slight tingling running up his spine from last night's activities. Standing in the open doorway was Naruto, his hair sticking up in all different directions and a bandage wrapped around his head.
The fox boy grinned and rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry if I freaked you out by not being here when you woke up, but Kakashi and Iruka pulled me outside for a lecture. Heh, apparently I pissed my client off last night by not being in my room. When Iruka went looking for me I was already asleep in here with you," he blushed slightly, "...and now they added 5,000 yen to my debt."
"Che, Dobe," Sasuke smirked, but it was more of a smile than anything, "you should've just left and gone back to your room. You didn't have to sleep with me," of course, Sasuke didn't really mean that.
"Don't give me that shit, Uchiha," Naruto glared, "you wanted me to sleep with you and you know it!" he flexed his imaginary biceps, "no one can resist this, oh yeah!"
Sasuke actually snickered. He sat up and motioned for the flexing boy to come to him, a small smile in place. Naruto skipped over to him and bent down.
"What?" he yelped when two arms grabbed him by the shoulders and tugged him down, his lips meeting Sasuke's.
The raven closed his eyes and sighed into Naruto's mouth as the other male responded, This is what I've always wanted to feel... the warmth of another person... they pulled apart and he smirked at Naruto's flushed face.
"Can't handle me, Naruto?" he purred.
"No, I don't think you can handle me, Teme," Naruto retorted, grinning back. He was just about to swoop in for another kiss when--
"Ohayo minna!.!" Genma shouted behind them. He had a huge smile that stretched across his entire face, "I heard you got some action, Naruto-kun! And I can't believe Uchiha let you top 'im!" the worker pretended to be flabbergasted and placed a hand over his heart, "Oh, I'm shocked! Uchiha has finally fallen in love!"
Sasuke blushed and scowled at the hyper man, mentally reminding himself to kill him later on, "If you know what's good for you, Genma, you'll leave. Right now," he growled.
"Right, right, I only came to wish you two good luck! You'll need it! What with Sai and that Sakura girl scheming to break you guys apart," he smiled happily, "Raidou told me about how that Sakura girl was planning something against you, Naruto-kun. He overheard her speaking with her group of fangirls at the gas station down the street. And last night while I was in the tea room, I heard Sai out in the hall mumbling something about a bastard Uchiha. I could only assume he was talking about you," he laughed at Sasuke's annoyed expression.
"Well... I'm sure Sakura wouldn't do anything too bad... right?" Naruto gulped and thought about the pink-haired girl and her gang cornering him in a dark alleyway. He was strong, sure, but he didn't think his strength could match that of a bunch of Sasuke fanatics... Especially if they were anything like Sakura. That girl was a freak! A large foreheaded freak!
"I don't know," Genma commented, "last year, a female host vanished after a meeting with Sakura..." his hazel eyes shifted back and forth, "they say it was because the night before... the host had shared tea with Uchiha... and Sakura found out..."
Naruto's eyes were watering, his bottom lip trembling. But behind him, Sasuke had his cheek resting in the palm of his hand, his brows knotted together as he saw split ends in his hair.
"...So she murdered her and dumped the body in a river..." Genma finished.
Naruto whined and turned to look a Sasuke, his cerulean eyes big and gooey, "Sakura won't murder me, will she?" he didn't let Sasuke answer before he whined again, "Oh God! If she murdered that girl just for sharing tea with you, what do you think she'll do to me?.! I had sex with you!.!"
Sasuke scoffed, "Genma was lying to you, Dobe, Sakura didn't murder anyone."
"Ah, it's true," the worker confessed suddenly, "I lied."
Naruto pouted and glared at him.
"Well, I'll leave you two alone so you can get ready for school! Oh, and Naruto?" he pointed to a bruise on the blond's neck, "you might want to cover that up," he grinned and hopped out of the room, humming.
Naruto immediately clamped a hand over his neck, his face a bright red, "Y-you gave me a hickey, Teme?.!"
"Hickeys are normal between--"
"I don't care if they're normal or not! You knew we had school, so why didn't you resist the temptation?.!"
Sasuke arched an eyebrow, "Resist the temptation? There was no temptation, Dobe. Your neck was just there, so I sucked on it."
"Gahh!.!" Naruto stomped off down the hall so he could go to his room and get his school clothes. In Sasuke's room, the raven was holding down the urge to laugh.
Maybe I should give him hickeys more often... His reaction was quite amusing.

Sakura watched the boy of her dreams enter the classroom with a babbling blond beside him. She glared at Naruto, hoping that somehow he would just spontaneously combust. It just wasn't fair! How come Sasuke liked that idiot and not the pretty Sakura?.!
"It doesn't make sense," she growled under her breath, still wishing Naruto would go up into flames, "he's loud, annoying, his uniform is unfashionable, his hair is messy... what could Sasuke-kun possibly see in him?" she crossed her arms and payed attention to every single word the blond said to her darling prince, "well, it's certainly not his whits. Most of what he just said didn't make any damn sense," she listened for a bit more and frowned, "and he's too happy. I know for a fact Sasuke-kun doesn't like to be around people like that... so would could it be?" she continued to contimplate ideas while Sasuke and Naruto's conversation continued, Ino, Shikamaru, and Kiba joining in.
"Oi, Dog breath, do you know where Fuzzy brows is? I didn't see him by the gates this morning," Naruto asked while showing a bored Sasuke how to make a fortune teller.
"You won't believe it... but he's skipping," Kiba said quietly, not wanting Gai-sensei to hear. Luckily for the class, Gai decided not to make them do exercises today. He was too busy sorting through papers for the gym class field trip.
"Skipping?" Naruto and Ino gasped in disbelief.
"How troublesome..." Shikamaru commented while staring out the window at the passing clouds.
"He told me that he was going to Hokkaido with his... his... boyfriend," Kiba shivered.
"You mean Gaara?" Naruto piped up.
"You're kidding me!" Ino whispered loudly, looking behind her at the two empty seats in the back, "I did think both Gaara and Lee not being here was sort of strange... but really? They're together?.?"
"Yep," Naruto grinned.
"Hey, Dobe... did I do this right?" Sasuke asked with a bored voice. He tossed the fortune teller to Naruto and the blond caught it, giving it a good inspection.
"It's a little bent at the tips..." Naruto mumbled.
Sasuke snorted and laced his fingers together under his chin, "Like I give a shit."
Ino, Kiba, and Naruto looked at the raven with dumbstruck faces, all of them surprised by the sudden profanity, while Shikamaru just muttered an "everyone does it, jeez...".
"Are you feeling well, Sasuke-kun?" Ino asked worriedly.
"Yeah, man, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Kiba added with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm just sore," the Uchiha replied, tossing Naruto a glare which caused the blond to turn a brilliant shade of tomato red.
"Sore...? Oh!" Ino giggled and ruffled Naruto's hair, "so you finally lost your viginity, huh, Naruto?"
Everything went quiet and Ino finally realized she had said that too loud. She looked down at the blushing Naruto and apologized quickly. Kiba started laughing until he was in tears, Shikamaru yawned and kept staring out the window, and Sasuke had a light tinge of pink on his cheeks.
"Oooh, who would've though Uzumaki'd lose his virginity so soon?.!" one of the students laughed and cheered, "so who was the lucky lady?"
Naruto could only sputter, no words coming out of his mouth, just incoherent nonsense. He looked up at Sasuke when the raven turned in his chair and glared heatedly at the cheering boy.
"It's none of your business, so sit your ass down," he hissed.
The boy sat down slowly, a look of surprise on his face. He clearly hadn't expected that.
"Th-thanks, Sasuke..." Naruto whispered, his blush finally receding.
"So," Kiba asked with a grin, "what was it like? Shino and I haven't had a chance to do it yet, so--"
"I didn't need to know that!" Naruto whined, covering his ears.
Ino laughed and patted her friend on the back, "Sharing is caring, Naruto. Please share every juicy detail with us? Onegai?" she fluttered her eyelashes and stuck her bottom lip out in a pout.
Sasuke crossed his arms and smirked, "It's more effective when Naruto does it."
Naruto blushed and threw the paper fortune teller at Sasuke, "Pervert!"
"I just think it's cute," Sasuke stated.
As the two continued to babble on, a certain bubblegum-haired girl was practically fuming in her seat. She clenched a fist around her pencil, snapping it in two.
"That's it, I'm not going to take this anymore...!"

Neji and Sai sat in complete silence in the back of their art class, neither of them enjoying the other's company, nor despising it. Sai was sketching in his thick sketchbook while Neji was busying himself with a painting of ancient pottery.
Ten Ten noticed them from the corner of her eye and smiled, "The silent type, eh?" she tapped her pointer finger against her chin and looked up in thought, "now that I think about it... they're Naruto's friends, aren't they?"
"Get to work, young lady, day dreaming isn't acceptable," the art teacher, Yamato, said from behind her.
"H-Hai, Tenzou-sensei," she laughed nervously and went back to work on her painting,only to be interrupted yet again, but by a hyper blond.
"Konnichiwa, Ten Ten!" Naruto chirped, eyeing her painting, "Oooh that's really cool!"
"Arigato," she laughed and continued painting, "Hey, Naruto? Those two boys over there," she tilted her head towards Neji and Sai, "are they your friends? Because I swear I heard them talking about you. In a friendly manner, you know?"
"Friendly?" Naruto frowned, "I'll be right back," he walked over to his "friends" and sat in the seat across from them.
Neji looked up from his work and raised an eyebrow, "Yes, Naruto?"
"Do you two talk about me?" he tapped his fingers on the table.
"As much as we talk about anyone else," Sai answered, still doodling in his sketchbook, "which isn't much."
"That's not a good enough answer, Sai," he pouted.
"If you're trying to be intimidating, Naruto, it's not working." Neji said politely.
"You're about as intimidating as a kitten," Sai smirked.
"God dammit, guys!"
"Uzumaki!" Yamato yelled from the front of the class, "I'd appreciate it if you didn't distract students while they're working!"
"Sorry," Naruto grumbled, standing up and glaring back at the smirking teens. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and walked over to his canvas, pulling a stool nearby next to him. He grabbed his paints from under the counter beside him and sat them on the stool, sighing, I have no clue what to paint...
Sai looked up from his work, his black eyes gleaming. He glanced out the small window built into the door and smirked to himself when he saw a tuff of pink hair, You'll belong to me soon enough, Naruto-san... his free hand moved silently under the table, his middle finger pulling back a tight string that led from under the table to Ten Ten's canvas. He pulled his finger back and smiled in satisfaction when the girl's canvas came toppling down, along with the paints.
Ten Ten screamed as she hit the floor, paint covering almost all of her body except for half of her face.
"Ten Ten!" Naruto yelled and ran across the room to his friend, wiping paint from her face, "are you ok?.!"
"I-I'm fine", she said said shakily, letting Naruto help her sit up. She spit out a bit of paint and stood up, "T-Tenzou-sensei, can I go to the nurse's office to clean myself up?"
"Ah, sure," Yamato looked at Naruto, "Uzumaki, go with her. You know the rules."
Naruto rolled his eyes and helped Ten Ten to the door, "I know, I know, the buddy system," as they left the room a bunch of whispering broke out. A lot of the students were wondering how the leverage could just suddnely break, but in the far corner of the room, Neji had a slightly intrigued look while Sai was smiling triumphantly.

"We'll get her cleaned up and call for you when she's ready to go back to class. Thank you for bringing her, Naruto-kun," Shizune smiled to the boy while Tsunade lead Ten Ten to the showers.
"Oh, you know how I am," he grinned, "I only do things if I have to."
Ten Ten turned and glared at him.
"Heh, it was a joke! Sheesh!" Naruto went to the door and opened it, looking back and waving at the two nurses, "see you guys later! Oh, and get clean soon, Ten Ten!" he laughed and walked out of the room.
"Hah hah, very funny, Naruto," Ten Ten mumbled under her breath.
Out in the hall, Naruto swore he heard voices, which was weird because everyone was either in the library or in class. He looked around nervously as he heard noises in the long hallways.
"O-ok, this is just creepy," he sped up and just as he was about to go upstairs, three pairs of arms grabbed him around the neck, chest, and waist, pulling him back and slamming him onto the tiled floor.
His vision was flooded with pain and he swore he could feel his back snap into three seperate sections. He coughed and fought for air, his eyes finally focusing. The first thing he saw were three girls, all of them wearing white masks over their faces and black trenchcoats with red kanji going from their chests to their hips.
Y-Yankees...?
"Leave him in the most critical condition possible... without actually killing him," a familiar voice said from the top of the stairs.
Naruto looked up painfully to see Sakura leaning against the stair railing, a strange smile on her face, Wh-what's going on?
"And make sure you ruin his lovely face," Sakura sneered, "that's the only attractive thing about him."
One of the yankees, a red-head, lifted up a metal bat, and by the crinkle of her mask, Naruto could tell she was smirking. He squeezed his eyes shut when the bat came down and yelled out in agony when it made contact with his ribs. The sound of his bones breaking reverberated throughout his head as he was beaten.
"This is what you get for taking my Sasuke-kun away from me... I'll make sure he never looks at you again," she laughed, "because when they're through with you, you'll be hideous... and we all know Sasuke-kun wouldn't want an ugly toy like you."
Naruto's cries only came out as strangled gargling noises when blood flooded his throat. A rough kick to the side of his head knocked him out, but before his vision went black, he could barely make out a raven-haired figure standing in front of the library doors, a smirk on it's face.
S-Sasuke...?
I bet you're all wondering how a girl like Sakura could be a "leader" to a bunch of yankees? Well, you'll find out later :Grin: Please review!

His vision was flooded with pain and he swore he could feel his back snap into three seperate sections. He coughed and fought for air, his eyes finally focusing. The first thing he saw were three girls, all of them wearing white masks over their faces and black trenchcoats with red kanji going from their chests to their hips.
Y-Yankees...?
"Leave him in the most critical condition possible... without actually killing him," a familiar voice said from the top of the stairs.
Naruto looked up painfully to see Sakura leaning against the stair railing, a strange smile on her face, Wh-what's going on?
"And make sure you ruin his lovely face," Sakura sneered, "that's the only attractive thing about him."
One of the yankees, a red-head, lifted up a metal bat, and by the crinkle of her mask, Naruto could tell she was smirking. He squeezed his eyes shut when the bat came down and yelled out in agony when it made contact with his ribs. The sound of his bones breaking reverberated throughout his head as he was beaten.
"This is what you get for taking my Sasuke-kun away from me... I'll make sure he never looks at you again," she laughed, "because when they're through with you, you'll be hideous... and we all know Sasuke-kun wouldn't want an ugly toy like you."
Naruto's cries only came out as strangled gargling noises when blood flooded his throat. A rough kick to the side of his head knocked him out, but before his vision went black, he could barely make out a raven-haired figure standing in front of the library doors, a smirk on it's face.
S-Sasuke...?
I bet you're all wondering how a girl like Sakura could be a "leader" to a bunch of yankees? Well, you'll find out later :Grin: Please review!
