Konnichiwa everyone! This is a fic in honour of the oh so adorable pairing of Naruto and Sasuke. I've had this idea for ages, and just couldn't resist turning it into a story. This is a high school fic set in modern times with the Naruto characters.
Warnings: Rated M for alcohol, drugs, violence, shounen-ai, sexual scenes and references etc.
Detailed Summary:When Naruto Uzumaki first enters Konoha High School as a new senior, he is already thrown into its gang wars and troubled relations. His seemingly innocent demeanor and undeniable traits attracts the attentions of Sasuke Uchiha- rich kid, residing gang leader and fellow classmate. But will Naruto be able to return his own? Having come to Konoha High to seek refuge from his tainted past, Naruto will find that there cannot possibly be a worse place to be for the scenario to unfold than the danger in which he places himself in by staying in Konoha. Akatsuki is after him for reasons even he doesn't remember, and the deadly past he holds with their leader can lead to not only the destruction of his relationship with Sasuke, but perhaps his downfall once more...

--Chapter One--
--Prologue--
The busty, blonde haired woman and spiky, white haired man rushed like a hurricane into the emergency ward, both of them gasping for breath and looking thoroughly distressed. As the nurses around them gave them piercing looks of disapproval, Tsunade searched around wildly and then caught sight of a man in a long, white coat. She rushed over to him and immediately grabbed him by the collar, lifting him up into the air.
“Where is he?!” she screamed at him. She shook the man and began to shout profanities at him while she was at it, her worry and desperation taking over. “Speak, you bastard!”
Jiraiya quickly pulled the frantic woman off the poor man then pushed the two a safe distance apart, putting an arm around Tsunade so as to comfort her just as much as to keep her under control. His own face was creased with worry as he scanned the beds around them.
The terrified doctor backed to the wall and pointed a shaking finger to a bed in the corner enclosed by curtains, then was out of there as fast as he could go.
The moment the doctor was gone Tsunade had slapped aside the hand keeping her at bay and ran to the enclosed bed. Her steps slowed as she approached, her breath caught in fear. `Oh...please be alright…,' she thought desperately as she reached the curtains.
Holding her breath, she pulled the curtains aside and hesitantly peeked inside to look at the patient on the bed. She sighed in relief when she saw that the person was bandaged and bruised, but otherwise looked to be only in a deep sleep.
However…the blonde haired teenager on the bed had a number of injuries which were hidden from sight. Upon inspecting the board at the foot of the bed Tsunade realized that he had sustained several injuries to the head, as well as a serious wound to the chest.
Jiraiya had also exhaled deeply when he saw the sleeping boy, and without further ado slumped down in a chair next to the bed. He put his head in his hands and pulled at his white hair in frustration.
Tsunade walked slowly to the head of the bed where the blonde boy's face could be seen in a rare, peaceful moment of bliss. Stroking the golden locks over the bandages on his forehead, Tsunade shook her head sadly and let the salty tears run down her face and into the sleeper's hair.
`Why do you always have to go through so much…?' she thought sorrowfully. Her tragic weeping wrung sympathy from the other people in the ward and she let herself cry into the bed sheets. She thought of all those times that he'd fallen and gotten back up, only to fall down harder the next time.
'Why...?'
Her fist clenched on the white shets.
'This is the last time...'
Slowly straightening up, she let a final tear drop onto the boy's cheek. She wiped determinadly at her eyes and they were shining when she raised her head once more. Jiraiya looked up at her, distracted by this change in demeanour.
`I'll make sure nothing like this ever happens again,' Tsunade thought. She tucked the covers more securely around the boy and gently eased the pillow to a better angle. Her hand lingered at his face to caress a healing, scarred cheek.
Bending over, she gave the unconscious teen a kiss on the forehead. ` You willbe happy,'she promised.

-4 months later- February, First day of School
The affairs of Konoha High School were kept secret from all outside its borders. Even within the school, some of it's forbidden activities were kept under covers.
The beginning of a new school year brought back a tide of familiar people hanging naturally in their areas as well as some new ones who were nervously playing around with their unfamiliar ties and skirts. The Summer sun smiled down on them all through it's veil of clouds and the bright, green leaves of the trees in the playground waved gracefully in the wind. Meaningless chatter dominated the entrance quad as students congregated there before class began.
The prattle began to disperse suddenly from the gates and all old students instantly knew what that meant. Like a rollover effect a hush fell over the crowd and people began moving back away from the gates. All heads turned in dread to the group of Seniors now walking casually through them as though they owned the school, and which in reality, they just about did.
Sasuke Uchiha and his friends were walking through the crowd towards the school doors, and anyone who put any value in their peaceful lives knew to get out of their way. Sasuke was dressed in the normal Senior uniform, but his navy tie was half undone and several top buttons of his white shirt were unbuttoned. The shirt hung un-tucked over his expensive, black, tailored pants and his side bag was strung casually across his chest. His medium length, raven black hair was swept up stylishly and naturally at the back with the longer locks obscurring his emotionless eyes at the front. On his face was the normal bad tempered glower, but it was, if possible, even worse than normal.
The guys looked at Sasuke with fearful admiration and the girls swooned in their shoes, too afraid to do anything more than gaze longingly at him.
A new kid rushing past in Year 7 made the mistake of bumping into him and faster than anyone could groan, he was picked up and shoved into the wall by Sasuke. The books he'd been holding went crashing to the floor in a heap.
As the unfortunate boy looked dazedly into cold, black eyes over Sasuke's elbow he felt cold, hard, metal be put to his stomach beneath his shirt. A blade. It took him a while to register it but when he did he gasped in disbelief and horror that something like this could be happening in plain sight of everyone, and yet nobody was doing anything to stop it. The students had all backed away from the two and were giving the little brown haired boy piteous looks.
“Name?” Sasuke asked coldly. The group of boys and girls which had entered the school with him were just looking on without doing anything other than appear slightly irritated at the hold up. They'd seen this happen more that once.
“Ha-Haku,” he stuttered.
Sasuke smiled cruelly at him and he felt the knife cut ever so slightly into his skin, no more than a scratch but enough to cause pain. Blood was trickling down and he had never felt more terrified in his life. Sasuke put his mouth right next to his ear and whispered very quietly, “Well Haku, I am Sasuke Uchiha, and you'll do good to remember it.” His voice was toneless and so cold that Haku almost fainted. “Since you're new around here… I'll let you off this time, and let this be a warning to others. But if it ever happens again…” He pressed the blade threateningly onto Haku's skin again.
Removing his arm and stepping back, Sasuke let Haku fall to the ground where he pulled himself into a ball and looked fearfully up at him.
But Sasuke was over him. Having shoved the bloodied blade and his hands into his pockets out of sight he'd already turned away from him and the spectators and continued walking alone up the steps. Everyone else watched in silence as his bag whipped around the blue doors and he was gone.
Talking struck up again, though everyone was careful as to what they said because Sasuke's companions were still around. Several of these seniors were shaking their heads at each other in disapproval and worry.
“In a bad mood already,” sighed Shikamaru. “I guess that vacation did nothing for him.”
Ino slapped him over the head. “You think?! You know that he and Itachi-san don't get along well. And they had to be stuck together in a beach-house for almost 3 months…” she shuddered at the very thought, beyond doubt that the unfortunate beach-house had probably been blown off the face of the Earth.
Sakura shook her head in annoyance at her best friend and Shikamaru, this having been the routine for countless mornings. “Come on already, don't you two ever get sick of bickering?" she snapped.
She turned around to everyone else while Shikamaru and Ino glared holes into the back of her head.
Their little group at that moment consisted of herself, Ino, Shikamaru, Kiba, Hinata, Neji and Tenten. Being the more commanding one of them, Sakura would usually be the one to bring order. Beckoning imperiously at them, they followed her rather reluctantly as she paved the path to the school doors over Sasuke's tracks.
When all of them were gone the students who'd been left in their wake finally began conversing freely. It was the first day of the new school year and things were already heating up...
Konoha High had always been an eventful place, but this year would be one to rival them all.
