Chapter 2
-
It was a nice day today, where the sun shined brightly in the sky, as birds chirped freely, and the-…CRASH!
...and then...
“FUCK! YOU ARE SO FUCKIN’ SCREWED WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, ITACHI!!!” screamed Sasuke at the top of his lungs. “I’M GOING TO SHOVE MY FOOT SO FAR UP YOUR ASS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THINK YOU WERE BORN WITH ONE LEG LONGER THAN THE OTHER!” With that, two figures could be seen stampeding through the Uchiha household, as Sasuke chased his brother around the house, maddeningly.
Screams, and yells echoed through the halls, as little grunts of, ‘You son of a bitch!’ ‘Fuck!!!’ and “AHHHH!!” escaped the lips of the two boys.
“Sasuke, STOP!!! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, I SWEAR!” Itachi yelled, running faster as Sasuke reached out to grab his shirt. With one superior yell, Sasuke launched and tackled Itachi to the ground. “Accident my ASS!!!”
Coming out of the kitchen, this was the sight Mikoto was greeted with, as she took off her apron, and stared.
‘…’
“Fuck, Sasuke, NOT THE HAIR!!!” At that surprising comment, she stopped staring at the two, who were rolling around the floor, beating the shit out of each other, and said calmly. “Sasuke, Itachi, stop playing around and come have dinner. It’s ready.”
Turning away from the idiotic duo, she was greeted with her husband, Fugaku, walking through the front door to their home. “Ah, dear, Welcome home! You made it just in time!” Mikoto greeted, cheerfully as Fugaku looked over at his two fighting sons, then back to his wife with a questionable look. She just shrugged and then went over to Fugaku to give him a small chaste peck on the cheek, while returning to the kitchen.
A moment of silence ensued, as Fugaku just stood there staring, and the only sounds of grunts, groans, and painful screams were heard, as the two brothers crashed into a near cabinet, and started shoving each other into said cabinet.
“Alright boys, that’s enough!” Fugaku yelled, trying to gain their attention, but they just continued rolling around on the floor yelling at each other, and completely ignoring there father.
“Stop it this instance!” he yelled even louder, but still received nothing. “It’s alright, dear. Let me handle this.” Mikoto said, as she reappeared right beside, him. Leaning down to the fumbling duo, she reached forward and grabbed both Itachi and Sasuke by the ear as she literally dragged the two protesting boys into the dining room.
‘Now, why didn’t I think of that?’ thought Fugaku, as he shrugged and joined his wife and sons in the dining room. Taking a seat the dinner table, Fugaku looked at Itachi and Sasuke, and asked, “Do you two boys, mind telling me, what in the hell has gotten into the both of you?”
“Why don’t you ask Sasuke, father. He’s the one who started it.” muttered Itachi immaturely as he crosses his arms across his broad chest, and glared at his little brother.
A now gaping Sasuke stared incredulously at his elder brother. “ME? BULL SHIT! You were the fuckin’ one who started it!!!” He yelled.
“Che, you were the on who started chasing me around the house for NO reason!!! If that didn’t happen, we wouldn’t be having this problem, no would we?!? I told you it was an accident”
“How do you call putting fire ants in my underwear drawer an accident, you ass wipe?’’
“Boys, that’s enough! Itachi, why did you do such a thing to your brother?” Mikoto asked, interrupting their little argument.
Plastering on the most innocent look he could muster, he just stared at Mikoto, and simply said, “Why, I did no such thing.”
That was when he snapped.
Launching himself once more at Itachi, he made a grab for his neck while screeching at the top of his lungs, “You fuckin’ liar!!! I couldn’t even sit down normally all day! Do you know how fuckin’ painful it was?!?!? You stupid son of a bitch!”
With a strangled voice, Itachi choked out, “A-ah! I-I’m sorry!” as he tried to get Sasuke to release his firm grip on his neck. With a jerk of his hand, Fugaku yanked Sasuke off of Itachi with a firm glare. “Itachi your grounded. And Sasuke, go upstairs and calm down. End. Of. Discussion.” He said with finality in his voice, causing both boys to no argue. Walking pass Itachi, Sasuke roughly bumped into Itachi, as he ground out, “You better sleep with one eye open, or else…” he said, leaving the threat to Itachi’s imagination as he made his way up the stairs.
Arriving at his destination, he pulled his door roughly open, and slammed it with a ‘BAM’ Striding over to his bed, he flopped unceremoniously on top of it with a sigh.
‘That stupid, fuckin’ asshole! I hate him so much! Why the hell does god love making my hell!’ he thought. Turning onto his back, he looked up at his white, pasty colored ceiling. ’Damn it! Today’s a Sunday isn’t it?’ he asked himself. ‘I have to go to school tomorrow, don’t I? Now that I think about, it doesn’t sound so bad anymore! I wonder why… Why is it that I feel so anxious for some reason?’ A picture of a certain grinning blonde, flashed through his mind, as his cheeks flushed cutely. ‘What the fuck was that?!? I must be, reallysleepy! Yeah…that must be it.’ the image bothered him greatly, but that soon died out, as sleep began to take over.
-THE NEXT DAY-
At School
“Hello students. I’m just here to remind you to not forget about today’s pep rally for the big game this Friday! Come show your support! Whoo! Go team! Anyway have a good day! The intercom shut off with a ‘click’ as the principal’s voice died out, and the halls once again filled with the noise of talking and laughing.
“Greeeaat, another funkin’ pep rally full of drooling girls, over Konoha High’s so called ‘gods!’ Sasuke thought with sarcasm. ’ Che, gods my ass! There just a bunch of assholes!” Walking to his usual table, where he ate his lunch, he put down his lunch and sat down, who would have guessed it, alone. He was kind of sad because of the fact that he had no friends, but that’s okay. What a sacrifice or two is for love right? It’s okay!
…Right?
‘Besides, what kind of friends are they, if the only care about the way I look! I don’t want that at all! They have to like me for me!’ he thought, as he took a bite ouf of his French Fries. “But damn it!, it’s so confusing! Isn’t the way I act right now, more fake, and I’m not myself for others to like?!?!?”
…silence ensues.
In the middle of the cafeteria, at his last statement, it seems he had yelled that out loud as he stood up from his seat. Getting odd looks from his peers, he glared at everyone close by, as he cleared his throat and sat back down, a small flush of embarrassment gracing his cheeks, that he hoped no one noticed. ‘Oh god, I can’t believe I just did that, I just made myself more of a freak!!’ As he sat down, the whole cafeteria burst back to there talkative, gossiping state, as a few pointed and whispered about, probably him no less. ‘But that’s not right. Either people are to scared to talk to me, or they think I’m a freak. They probably don’t even want to know what my personality is like!!!’
At the sound of another tray slamming down on the table, right next to him, he was brought out of his musings, as he looked up to see Naruto grinning at him.
“Hey, Sasuke right!? Mind if I sit here?!”
Sasuke just stared up at Naruto with a look that clearly said ‘what the fuck?!’ Although it was clearly obvious that Sasuke didn’t want him to sit there, the oblivious blonde just took the look as an affirmative, and sat his ass down firmly on the bench.
“So you going to the pep rally, Sasuke? Of course I’m going! But I practically have no choice, after all, I am captain of the foot ball team and all…” he said grinning all the while. The other boy just stared at Naruto as he started rambling, as if he had three heads. What was with this guy? Naruto just kept going on and on, as if they have been friends since the day they were born! Sasuke reached out a hand and put it on Naruto’s forehead, as if checking his temperature. After a moments pause, he looked into Naruto’s blue eyes.“…Are you sick?” he asked as he sat back down and gave Naruto a look of concern. Than he added, just in case for a sense of security, “The whole idea of you coming over here, and sitting right NEXT to me is some kind of sick joke or bet that those air-headed jocks put you up to, isn’t it?”
Naruto just looked confused and said “What? No! Of course not! Why would you think I was sickor me coming over here a joke?” Sasuke gave Naruto an incredulous look that could be easily translated to ‘Are you really that stupid?’ Or ‘Are you serious?’
“Because you, the most popular guy, and known as the hottest guy in this school, Uzumaki Naruto, just ups and comes out of nowhere and sits next to the schools biggest loser and freak, Uchiha Sasuke! You actually expect me to think this was not a joke, a bet or. . .or-I don’t know! Something!” Sasuke, all but yelled.
Naruto just scratched the back of his head and said “Well, I didn’t know you were a loser, nor do I care, I also weren’t aware of my status, as you put it, the most popular guy, and the hottest. I personally don’t think you’re a loser. I can’t believe other people would even think such a thing. I don’t care much in labels. In all truth, I just wanted to be friends. I’m the forward type of guy. So don’t you think this is pretty much, a typical thing for me to do?” he said, as he continued, “I think it’s perfectly normal to just come sit by someone you want to be friends wi-” and Naruto just cut himself off, as he fidgeted slightly. Sasuke was gaping at him, and staring at him intensely that made his insides churn, but not in the uncomfortable way.
“Y-you…want to be, friends w-with….” Sasuke started, as if it was the most unbelievable thing in the world, and to him, it was! “…ME? You, mister hotshot, wants to become friends with me, the school dipshit?!?!” and yet again, his tone took on another incredulous pitch.
Naruto just stared at Sasuke. What’s with this guy? Isn’t making friends normal? Why is he so surprised?
“Yeah, I do. Is there something wrong with that?” Naruto said, but all he received was still the usual gape, and the widening of the eyes. Unbeknownst to the two, all the other occupants in the cafeteria were silent, looking at the two in equal surprise. “Fine then, if you don’t want to, then I’ll just leave you alone.” said Naruto, slightly hurt, when he didn’t get the response he was looking for. He made to stand up but he was suddenly put off, when he received a bundle of raven hair. Naruto looked down at the male in his arms with sudden surprise, and his face blushed slightly.
The raven had launched himself at Naruto, as he made to get up, and now the raven was sitting on Naruto’s lap, straddling actually; as he hugged Naruto tightly, and buried his face snuggly into the crook of Naruto’s neck. Gasps and harsh intakes of air were surrounding the two, as students looked in shock at the scene before them.
“I-I do…” Sasuke blushed at the way he said it. For god sake’s he sounded like a pitiful, stuttering bride! He quickly added. “Yes…yes, I, umm… I wanna be your friend.” His voiced muffled, as he gripped tighter as Naruto’s shirt, and snuggled deeper into Naruto’s arms. his face in the crook of Naruto's neck.
Naruto smiled slightly at the display, although he patted him on the back awkwardly, a blush still adorning their features. At the feel of the warm hand, slightly caressing the small of his back, realization his Sasuke like a ton of bricks, as he noticed what he was doing. He scrambled frantically away from Naruto, as he mumbled a small, “S-Sorry!” with a heavy blush.
“Heh, he’s so cute.” Naruto thought, while mentally grinning at his new gained friend. Than the silence of the cafeteria got to him. He quickly looked up, and he met with lots of blank stares, horror-filled faces, and smitten girl and boys, alike. He looked at Sasuke who was now sitting stiffly next to him, as the raven-haired boy looked down intently at the lunch table.
“Oi, Sasuke!” The raven looked up questionably at the blonde. “Hey, how about we get outta here?” Naruto said, as he jerked his head towards the entrance of the cafeteria. When he stared up at the entrance, he noticed the fierce looks he was receiving from a lot of people, and understood right away, although he mentally blushed harder, at the thought of doing such a thing as straddling the blonde, in practically the whole entire school.”
“Alright.” With that the two threw away their barely eaten lunches, and bolted out of the lunch room, and past the onlookers.
Now in the hallway, Sasuke looked up at Naruto. “Now what?”
“Hmmm…” the blonde hummed slightly, deep in thought. Than a bright smile overturned his features as he stared at Sasuke. Grabbing the other teen’s arms, Naruto literally dragged Sasuke to where he was taking them, ignoring the protests escaping Sasuke’s dark, pouty, lipstick worn lips. (Remember, he’s dressed fully in black with heavily worn black make-up.)
Giving up, Sasuke just followed his now happy-go-lucky, blonde friend.
“Here we are!” yelled Naruto, as he pulled Sasuke out to the open! They have seemingly arrived on the roof, where fences stood tightly, and securely around the perimeters, as Naruto flopped onto his butt, and sat down. In all truth, it was quite a sight up here.
“This is where I usually go to clear my head!” Naruto said excitedly, “So are you going to the pep rally after school?” Naruto replied, trying to change the subject. At seeing Naruto sitting down, Sasuke did the same.
“Hell no! I hate those things! All there is, are disgusting fangirls screaming about how much they love you.” Sasuke said dryly, his previous blush gone.
Naruto laughed at that.
“Come on, it’s not that bad! You know you want to come support me, and cheer me on, about how gorgeous I am.” Naruto laughed, as he said with an overdose of sarcasm. “Where’s your team spirit! You know you want to!”
Even with his bright way of asking, he felt touched, but he’ll be damned if he has to deal with bastards and bitches, going on about what happened at the cafeteria today. He DEFINITELY didn’t want that to happen.
“No, no, no, and HELL NO! I hate those things with a passion. All I do is get talked about in everyone’s measly gossip, and there’s no point in going in the first place.” He reasoned.
“Hmm, Well can you sing or dance or something?” asked Naruto. Well that definitely wasn’t what he expected to come out of the blonde’s mouth.
“Uh…Well I can sing a little, I guess. Why?” he asked, voice laced with suspicion.
“Well why don’t you perform? It’ll be fun!” offered up Naruto.
“Che! I bet that before I even start, people with be shouting and screaming in displeasure!”
“Have some balls, man! I’ll tell you what, lets make a bet. You perform tonight and if they love it, “I’ll…” He paused as he thought of something. “ I’ll kiss that clingy, pink-haired girl who always bug the heck outta me. Sakarara, or whatever her name is…How does that sound? Heh, and if you chickem out, YOU will have to kiss her.
“What! No way!” came the protest.
“Oh? Are you, Uchiha Sasuke, saying he is a coward? Damn, I didn’t know you were such a wuss!”
Angry at the statement, Sasuke spat. “Fine! If you can assemble a band, then your on Uzumaki!” he held out a hand and put it on the table in a typical arm wrestle position, a challenging look in his eyes. Naruto reached out, and took it.
“Deal.”
-TIME SKIP-
Sasuke’s House
“I’m home!” Sasuke yelled, as he walked through the front door.
“Welcome home, sweety.” Mikoto answered, as Sasuke walked into the living room were she was currently sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Hi, mom." he replied, not even sparing her a glance as he made his way upstairs to his room. He opened his closet door and started looking trough his clothes.
‘Fuck this, act today! I refuse to go up on stage, to sing or whatever, and look like a fuckin’ dumbass, to make people think I’m even more of a fool! What the hell am I suppose to wear, anyways? This is so fuckin’ stupid!’ he thought, as ruffled around after one shirt or another. ‘Damn it! I’ll just wear a plain god damn white shirt, and black jean shorts or something. It’s not like I have to go all full out into band wear or something.’ Taking out the desired clothing, he set them on his bed.
Running into the bathroom with a towel, he took a quick shower, and cleaned up, off, all that make-up and shit off his face, as he slipped on the change of clothes. ‘Now…where the fuck is that god damn guitar?!? Hell knows how long it’s been since I’ve played that thing. I’m gonna ace this, cause there’s no way in nine levels of hell, am I going to kiss that pink-haired bitch!’ Rummaging through his big, walk-in closet yet again, he finally found his old guitar, in all it’s dusty glory, on a specific top shelf. Blowing off some of the dust, caked on it, he ran his fingers over the guitar case, a nostalgic feeling welling up in his chest. A small smile over took his features, and he ignored the one little thought in the back of his mind that practically screamed. ‘I can’t wait.’ And ‘T-this is going to be fun!’
-TIME SKIP-
On the field, PEP RALLY!!!
The sound of kids talking and yelling was the only thing you could hear. Voices, and distinct talking boomed over each other’s as it rang across the fiel. Sasuke sat in the locker rooms getting ready to go out on to the foot ball field. ‘Alright! I can do this! Breathe! God, why am I so nervous! Come on, RELAX!!’ Sasuke thought, as he chewed his lower lip, roughly, tearing off a piece of dry skin, as blood began to form. He licked his lips, wiping off the coppery-tasted fluid, as he inhaled and exhaled repeatedly. ‘Hn, Maybe its because I didn’t expect that idiot to actually find a band! Dammit!”’ He was pulled out of his thoughts as he heard the stadium become quiet, and every now and than hushed voices could be heard. With this, the principal stepped onto the stage, and grabbed the microphone.
“Good afternoon students, and welcome to Konoha High’s first foot ball season for this years, pep rally! I want to thank you all for coming out and showing your support! Now for are first act…” he paused as he looked down at his clip board to check the list. Looking over it once more, to make sure is eyes didn’t deceive him, he announced meekly, “Uchiha Sasuke.” The acquired band members that Naruto got had arrived on the stage, and got into their positions as the waited for the young Uchiha, while the principal excited the stage.
“What! Sasuke Uchiha!? That creepy guy that never smiles is going to perform? Man this is going to suck!” some random guy said, quickly chorused by other comments like, “Yeah I
bet its some loud screamo music!” or “Oh god, what the hell were they thinking!” “This is a pep rally! It’s supposed to be loud, exciting and happy! Why is that freak performing?!?”
and a few “I know! What the fuck!”
Then the oh-so-famous…
“BOO!!!!”
̵ 6;Well! What are you waiting for Uchiha, get your ass into gear, and shut those fuckers up!’ Sasuke told himself. Taking a deep breate, he strode calmly, out onto the field. Than the crowd erupted into gasps, and the insults stop, as the audience gaped at his appearance, a few random, “HOLY FUCK” could be heard over the crowd. Making his way onto the stage, he ignored all of them, as he pulled his guitar over his head, and set it snugly against himself. He turned around and told the band a few words about the song, and at the nod of the other members of the group, he began to sing..
We don't have time left to regret…
He started as the other chorused in on that one line.
’Hold On’ And, we'll take more than common sense. He stroked viciously at a chord as he swayed his hips a little, a jerk of his hand on the strings.
’Hold On’ So stop your wondering, take a stand.
’Hold On’There's more to life than just to live
Than all of them joined in with another ’Hold On’ Before Sasuke sang loudly, the chorus.
Cause an empty room can be so loudThere's so many tears, to drown them out!So, hold onHold OnHold On, hold on
One single smile, a helping handHold OnIt's not that hard to be a friendHold OnSo, don't give up, stand till the endHold OnThere's more to life than just to liveHold on
Cause an empty room can be so loudThere's so many tears, to drown them outSo, hold onHold OnHold On, hold on
When you love someone, and they break your heart.Don't give up on love, have faith, restart!
With a small jump in the air, another stroke, and landing one the balls of his feet, he accentuated that previous line with a loud, So hold on, hold on!’Hold on, hold on. A small smiling grazing his lips, that showed his upper teeth, a bigger grinned formed, as the audience started cheering him on, at this part.
Letting go of his right hand, where he stroked the strings, he grabbed the microphone, and sang expertly. When we're miles apart…And, your feeling lost, All your hope is gone!He started strumming his guitar once more, as everyone sang, including most from the audience.Don't forget to hold onHold on-His eyes locked onto merry blue, as his voice slowly faded out, as the rest of the school, and band members sang the chorus together once more
Cause an empty room can be so loudThere's so many tears, to drown them out!So, hold on…Hold OnHold On, hold on. Grinning, he jumped once more into the air, and he started in on the last few lines with everyone.When you love someone, and they break your heart.Don't give up on love, have faith, restart!
The song ending abruptly, the sound of loud cheering, and clapping could be heard, as he tried to catch his breath.
“Woo-hoo! Way to go, Sasuke!!!” Naruto yelled, as he jumped up and down with his hands in the air. Sasuke smiled at him and then turned to the crowed! Chants of “En-core! En-core!" Could be heard as Sasuke waved to crowd, and took an over exaggerated bow! “Oi Sasuke!” yelled Naruto once more. “Sing another one!!” Naruto was grinning toothily, knowing full well Sasuke was having the time of his life.
A loud series of approvals, and compliments shocked him, slightly, as he asked into microphone. “Y-You want …me to sing another one?”
“Hell YEAH!” Lots of students shouted. Catching the look of approval from the principal, he returned the look with a decent nod. Turning back to the band members, he whispered a few more things, once more, and they both began another song.
There you goYou're always so rightIt's all a big showIt's all about you
He gave an intense stare into the crowd, at the next verse.
You think you know, what everyone needs.You always take time, to criticize me! An additional voice played in with Sasuke, as one of the members, who played the second guitar next to his joined in.
It seems like everydayI make mistakesI just can't get it right!!
It's like I'm the one you love to hate,But… not today!
So shut up, shut up, shut up. I don't wanna hear it. Sang Sasuke with fierce figure, as he shook his head, side to side, as if to get rid of a voice that was trying to tell him something.Get out, get out, get out;Get out of my way! He grabbed the microphone yet again, and said, Step up, step up, step up, You'll never stop me!!! With a loud yell, Sasuke and the other guitarist, roughly stroked there guitars, as they stood back to back together, singing fiercely.Nothing you say today, is gonna bring me down!!
There you go..You never ask why. It’s all a big lie.Whatever you do!!
You think you're special, he said, as he roamed his eyes over the crowd, letting a mocking glint into his eyes.But I know, and I know…And I know, and we knowTHAT YOUR NOT…!
Replacing the mocking glint with a smirk, he let his voice fade for a moment, while the second guitarist sang: You're always there to point out my mistakes.And then shove it all, in my face.
It's like I'm the one you love to hate, and then the second guitarist stopped, and all 4 of the band members, including Sasuke screamed. “But no today!!!”
So shut up, shut up, shut up, Don't wanna hear it! As he shook his whole entire body, as if getting rid of something that was plaguing his mind.Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way! As he playfully pushed the other guitarist, receiving on playful shove back. Than he stopped playing the guitar, while the drums, and guitarist played their part, and here he raised both of his hand, raising them up and down, as if saying, ‘come on!’ but instead he removed those words of his gesture by singing clearly, Step up, step up, step up!You'll never stop meNothing you say today is gonna bring me down!Is gonna bring me down
Will never bring me down!! A small smile, and a sway of his hips, as he thrust the microphone away from his body, before he pulled it back to his chest.
Don't tell me who I should be, and don't try to tell me what's right for me!Don't tell me what I should doI don't wanna waste my timeI'll watch you fade away. With that, he reached out to the crowds in a gesture of letting something go away, almost as if out of reach.
So shut up, shut up, shut up, don't wanna hear it!Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way! As he screamed this particular line loudly, and his eyes shut tightly, as he finished this verse with a feeling of joy.Step up, step up, step upYou'll never stop meNothing you say todayIs gonna bring me down!
Shut up, shut up, shut upDon't wanna hear itGet out, get out, get outGet out of my way
Step up, step up, step upYou'll never stop meNothing you say todayIs gonna bring me down
Bring me downshut up, shut up, shut upWon't bring me downshut up, shut up, shut upBring me downshut up, shut up, shut upWon't bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up! Than he threw the microphone off the side, as he abruptly stopped the song, the loud stadium erupting in cheers that drowned out the ‘thump’ of the microphone hitting the stage floor. With one more boy, he turned and thanked the others, as he exited the stage.
“SASUKE!” a voice carried itself to him, as he turned around to see Naruto run after him, with a grim, as he made his way out of the stadium. Finally catching up to Sasuke, Naruto reached out and playfully, all be it slightly painfully punched Sasuke’s upper arm.
“Yo, ass wipe!! What was all that bull about. ‘I can sing a little’ a little my ass! You cheated! So technically I don’t have to kiss that girl!” he announced proudly about his theory, earning a small snort from Sasuke.
“Yes you do! I didn’t cheat I told the truth and now tomorrow morning your going to make her float on cloud nine for the whole day! Although it’s pretty obvious, did I mention she will probably...Wait, scratch that, she WILL cling onto you even more, by the thought of thinking she’s your girlfriend.! Good luck with that Blondie!” Sasuke said with mirth, as he ran away from Naruto and sent a small wave over his shoulder.
“Damn you, Sasuke, you bastard!! That’s not fair!!” he yelled, chasing after Sasuke. His only reply was the sound of roaring laughter.

Chapter 2

It was a nice day today, where the sun shined brightly in the sky, as birds chirped freely, and the-…CRASH!
...and then...
“FUCK! YOU ARE SO FUCKIN’ SCREWED WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, ITACHI!!!” screamed Sasuke at the top of his lungs. “I’M GOING TO SHOVE MY FOOT SO FAR UP YOUR ASS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THINK YOU WERE BORN WITH ONE LEG LONGER THAN THE OTHER!” With that, two figures could be seen stampeding through the Uchiha household, as Sasuke chased his brother around the house, maddeningly.
Screams, and yells echoed through the halls, as little grunts of, ‘You son of a bitch!’ ‘Fuck!!!’ and “AHHHH!!” escaped the lips of the two boys.
“Sasuke, STOP!!! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, I SWEAR!” Itachi yelled, running faster as Sasuke reached out to grab his shirt. With one superior yell, Sasuke launched and tackled Itachi to the ground. “Accident my ASS!!!”
Coming out of the kitchen, this was the sight Mikoto was greeted with, as she took off her apron, and stared.
‘…’
“Fuck, Sasuke, NOT THE HAIR!!!” At that surprising comment, she stopped staring at the two, who were rolling around the floor, beating the shit out of each other, and said calmly. “Sasuke, Itachi, stop playing around and come have dinner. It’s ready.”
Turning away from the idiotic duo, she was greeted with her husband, Fugaku, walking through the front door to their home. “Ah, dear, Welcome home! You made it just in time!” Mikoto greeted, cheerfully as Fugaku looked over at his two fighting sons, then back to his wife with a questionable look. She just shrugged and then went over to Fugaku to give him a small chaste peck on the cheek, while returning to the kitchen.
A moment of silence ensued, as Fugaku just stood there staring, and the only sounds of grunts, groans, and painful screams were heard, as the two brothers crashed into a near cabinet, and started shoving each other into said cabinet.
“Alright boys, that’s enough!” Fugaku yelled, trying to gain their attention, but they just continued rolling around on the floor yelling at each other, and completely ignoring there father.
“Stop it this instance!” he yelled even louder, but still received nothing. “It’s alright, dear. Let me handle this.” Mikoto said, as she reappeared right beside, him. Leaning down to the fumbling duo, she reached forward and grabbed both Itachi and Sasuke by the ear as she literally dragged the two protesting boys into the dining room.
‘Now, why didn’t I think of that?’ thought Fugaku, as he shrugged and joined his wife and sons in the dining room. Taking a seat the dinner table, Fugaku looked at Itachi and Sasuke, and asked, “Do you two boys, mind telling me, what in the hell has gotten into the both of you?”
“Why don’t you ask Sasuke, father. He’s the one who started it.” muttered Itachi immaturely as he crosses his arms across his broad chest, and glared at his little brother.
A now gaping Sasuke stared incredulously at his elder brother. “ME? BULL SHIT! You were the fuckin’ one who started it!!!” He yelled.
“Che, you were the on who started chasing me around the house for NO reason!!! If that didn’t happen, we wouldn’t be having this problem, no would we?!? I told you it was an accident”
“How do you call putting fire ants in my underwear drawer an accident, you ass wipe?’’
“Boys, that’s enough! Itachi, why did you do such a thing to your brother?” Mikoto asked, interrupting their little argument.
Plastering on the most innocent look he could muster, he just stared at Mikoto, and simply said, “Why, I did no such thing.”
That was when he snapped.
Launching himself once more at Itachi, he made a grab for his neck while screeching at the top of his lungs, “You fuckin’ liar!!! I couldn’t even sit down normally all day! Do you know how fuckin’ painful it was?!?!? You stupid son of a bitch!”
With a strangled voice, Itachi choked out, “A-ah! I-I’m sorry!” as he tried to get Sasuke to release his firm grip on his neck. With a jerk of his hand, Fugaku yanked Sasuke off of Itachi with a firm glare. “Itachi your grounded. And Sasuke, go upstairs and calm down. End. Of. Discussion.” He said with finality in his voice, causing both boys to no argue. Walking pass Itachi, Sasuke roughly bumped into Itachi, as he ground out, “You better sleep with one eye open, or else…” he said, leaving the threat to Itachi’s imagination as he made his way up the stairs.
Arriving at his destination, he pulled his door roughly open, and slammed it with a ‘BAM’ Striding over to his bed, he flopped unceremoniously on top of it with a sigh.
‘That stupid, fuckin’ asshole! I hate him so much! Why the hell does god love making my hell!’ he thought. Turning onto his back, he looked up at his white, pasty colored ceiling. ’Damn it! Today’s a Sunday isn’t it?’ he asked himself. ‘I have to go to school tomorrow, don’t I? Now that I think about, it doesn’t sound so bad anymore! I wonder why… Why is it that I feel so anxious for some reason?’ A picture of a certain grinning blonde, flashed through his mind, as his cheeks flushed cutely. ‘What the fuck was that?!? I must be, reallysleepy! Yeah…that must be it.’ the image bothered him greatly, but that soon died out, as sleep began to take over.
-THE NEXT DAY-
At School
“Hello students. I’m just here to remind you to not forget about today’s pep rally for the big game this Friday! Come show your support! Whoo! Go team! Anyway have a good day! The intercom shut off with a ‘click’ as the principal’s voice died out, and the halls once again filled with the noise of talking and laughing.
“Greeeaat, another funkin’ pep rally full of drooling girls, over Konoha High’s so called ‘gods!’ Sasuke thought with sarcasm. ’ Che, gods my ass! There just a bunch of assholes!” Walking to his usual table, where he ate his lunch, he put down his lunch and sat down, who would have guessed it, alone. He was kind of sad because of the fact that he had no friends, but that’s okay. What a sacrifice or two is for love right? It’s okay!
…Right?
‘Besides, what kind of friends are they, if the only care about the way I look! I don’t want that at all! They have to like me for me!’ he thought, as he took a bite ouf of his French Fries. “But damn it!, it’s so confusing! Isn’t the way I act right now, more fake, and I’m not myself for others to like?!?!?”
…silence ensues.
In the middle of the cafeteria, at his last statement, it seems he had yelled that out loud as he stood up from his seat. Getting odd looks from his peers, he glared at everyone close by, as he cleared his throat and sat back down, a small flush of embarrassment gracing his cheeks, that he hoped no one noticed. ‘Oh god, I can’t believe I just did that, I just made myself more of a freak!!’ As he sat down, the whole cafeteria burst back to there talkative, gossiping state, as a few pointed and whispered about, probably him no less. ‘But that’s not right. Either people are to scared to talk to me, or they think I’m a freak. They probably don’t even want to know what my personality is like!!!’
At the sound of another tray slamming down on the table, right next to him, he was brought out of his musings, as he looked up to see Naruto grinning at him.
“Hey, Sasuke right!? Mind if I sit here?!”
Sasuke just stared up at Naruto with a look that clearly said ‘what the fuck?!’ Although it was clearly obvious that Sasuke didn’t want him to sit there, the oblivious blonde just took the look as an affirmative, and sat his ass down firmly on the bench.
“So you going to the pep rally, Sasuke? Of course I’m going! But I practically have no choice, after all, I am captain of the foot ball team and all…” he said grinning all the while. The other boy just stared at Naruto as he started rambling, as if he had three heads. What was with this guy? Naruto just kept going on and on, as if they have been friends since the day they were born! Sasuke reached out a hand and put it on Naruto’s forehead, as if checking his temperature. After a moments pause, he looked into Naruto’s blue eyes.“…Are you sick?” he asked as he sat back down and gave Naruto a look of concern. Than he added, just in case for a sense of security, “The whole idea of you coming over here, and sitting right NEXT to me is some kind of sick joke or bet that those air-headed jocks put you up to, isn’t it?”
Naruto just looked confused and said “What? No! Of course not! Why would you think I was sickor me coming over here a joke?” Sasuke gave Naruto an incredulous look that could be easily translated to ‘Are you really that stupid?’ Or ‘Are you serious?’
“Because you, the most popular guy, and known as the hottest guy in this school, Uzumaki Naruto, just ups and comes out of nowhere and sits next to the schools biggest loser and freak, Uchiha Sasuke! You actually expect me to think this was not a joke, a bet or. . .or-I don’t know! Something!” Sasuke, all but yelled.
Naruto just scratched the back of his head and said “Well, I didn’t know you were a loser, nor do I care, I also weren’t aware of my status, as you put it, the most popular guy, and the hottest. I personally don’t think you’re a loser. I can’t believe other people would even think such a thing. I don’t care much in labels. In all truth, I just wanted to be friends. I’m the forward type of guy. So don’t you think this is pretty much, a typical thing for me to do?” he said, as he continued, “I think it’s perfectly normal to just come sit by someone you want to be friends wi-” and Naruto just cut himself off, as he fidgeted slightly. Sasuke was gaping at him, and staring at him intensely that made his insides churn, but not in the uncomfortable way.
“Y-you…want to be, friends w-with….” Sasuke started, as if it was the most unbelievable thing in the world, and to him, it was! “…ME? You, mister hotshot, wants to become friends with me, the school dipshit?!?!” and yet again, his tone took on another incredulous pitch.
Naruto just stared at Sasuke. What’s with this guy? Isn’t making friends normal? Why is he so surprised?
“Yeah, I do. Is there something wrong with that?” Naruto said, but all he received was still the usual gape, and the widening of the eyes. Unbeknownst to the two, all the other occupants in the cafeteria were silent, looking at the two in equal surprise. “Fine then, if you don’t want to, then I’ll just leave you alone.” said Naruto, slightly hurt, when he didn’t get the response he was looking for. He made to stand up but he was suddenly put off, when he received a bundle of raven hair. Naruto looked down at the male in his arms with sudden surprise, and his face blushed slightly.
The raven had launched himself at Naruto, as he made to get up, and now the raven was sitting on Naruto’s lap, straddling actually; as he hugged Naruto tightly, and buried his face snuggly into the crook of Naruto’s neck. Gasps and harsh intakes of air were surrounding the two, as students looked in shock at the scene before them.
“I-I do…” Sasuke blushed at the way he said it. For god sake’s he sounded like a pitiful, stuttering bride! He quickly added. “Yes…yes, I, umm… I wanna be your friend.” His voiced muffled, as he gripped tighter as Naruto’s shirt, and snuggled deeper into Naruto’s arms. his face in the crook of Naruto's neck.
Naruto smiled slightly at the display, although he patted him on the back awkwardly, a blush still adorning their features. At the feel of the warm hand, slightly caressing the small of his back, realization his Sasuke like a ton of bricks, as he noticed what he was doing. He scrambled frantically away from Naruto, as he mumbled a small, “S-Sorry!” with a heavy blush.
“Heh, he’s so cute.” Naruto thought, while mentally grinning at his new gained friend. Than the silence of the cafeteria got to him. He quickly looked up, and he met with lots of blank stares, horror-filled faces, and smitten girl and boys, alike. He looked at Sasuke who was now sitting stiffly next to him, as the raven-haired boy looked down intently at the lunch table.
“Oi, Sasuke!” The raven looked up questionably at the blonde. “Hey, how about we get outta here?” Naruto said, as he jerked his head towards the entrance of the cafeteria. When he stared up at the entrance, he noticed the fierce looks he was receiving from a lot of people, and understood right away, although he mentally blushed harder, at the thought of doing such a thing as straddling the blonde, in practically the whole entire school.”
“Alright.” With that the two threw away their barely eaten lunches, and bolted out of the lunch room, and past the onlookers.
Now in the hallway, Sasuke looked up at Naruto. “Now what?”
“Hmmm…” the blonde hummed slightly, deep in thought. Than a bright smile overturned his features as he stared at Sasuke. Grabbing the other teen’s arms, Naruto literally dragged Sasuke to where he was taking them, ignoring the protests escaping Sasuke’s dark, pouty, lipstick worn lips. (Remember, he’s dressed fully in black with heavily worn black make-up.)
Giving up, Sasuke just followed his now happy-go-lucky, blonde friend.
“Here we are!” yelled Naruto, as he pulled Sasuke out to the open! They have seemingly arrived on the roof, where fences stood tightly, and securely around the perimeters, as Naruto flopped onto his butt, and sat down. In all truth, it was quite a sight up here.
“This is where I usually go to clear my head!” Naruto said excitedly, “So are you going to the pep rally after school?” Naruto replied, trying to change the subject. At seeing Naruto sitting down, Sasuke did the same.
“Hell no! I hate those things! All there is, are disgusting fangirls screaming about how much they love you.” Sasuke said dryly, his previous blush gone.
Naruto laughed at that.
“Come on, it’s not that bad! You know you want to come support me, and cheer me on, about how gorgeous I am.” Naruto laughed, as he said with an overdose of sarcasm. “Where’s your team spirit! You know you want to!”
Even with his bright way of asking, he felt touched, but he’ll be damned if he has to deal with bastards and bitches, going on about what happened at the cafeteria today. He DEFINITELY didn’t want that to happen.
“No, no, no, and HELL NO! I hate those things with a passion. All I do is get talked about in everyone’s measly gossip, and there’s no point in going in the first place.” He reasoned.
“Hmm, Well can you sing or dance or something?” asked Naruto. Well that definitely wasn’t what he expected to come out of the blonde’s mouth.
“Uh…Well I can sing a little, I guess. Why?” he asked, voice laced with suspicion.
“Well why don’t you perform? It’ll be fun!” offered up Naruto.
“Che! I bet that before I even start, people with be shouting and screaming in displeasure!”
“Have some balls, man! I’ll tell you what, lets make a bet. You perform tonight and if they love it, “I’ll…” He paused as he thought of something. “ I’ll kiss that clingy, pink-haired girl who always bug the heck outta me. Sakarara, or whatever her name is…How does that sound? Heh, and if you chickem out, YOU will have to kiss her.
“What! No way!” came the protest.
“Oh? Are you, Uchiha Sasuke, saying he is a coward? Damn, I didn’t know you were such a wuss!”
Angry at the statement, Sasuke spat. “Fine! If you can assemble a band, then your on Uzumaki!” he held out a hand and put it on the table in a typical arm wrestle position, a challenging look in his eyes. Naruto reached out, and took it.
“Deal.”
-TIME SKIP-
Sasuke’s House
“I’m home!” Sasuke yelled, as he walked through the front door.
“Welcome home, sweety.” Mikoto answered, as Sasuke walked into the living room were she was currently sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Hi, mom." he replied, not even sparing her a glance as he made his way upstairs to his room. He opened his closet door and started looking trough his clothes.
‘Fuck this, act today! I refuse to go up on stage, to sing or whatever, and look like a fuckin’ dumbass, to make people think I’m even more of a fool! What the hell am I suppose to wear, anyways? This is so fuckin’ stupid!’ he thought, as ruffled around after one shirt or another. ‘Damn it! I’ll just wear a plain god damn white shirt, and black jean shorts or something. It’s not like I have to go all full out into band wear or something.’ Taking out the desired clothing, he set them on his bed.
Running into the bathroom with a towel, he took a quick shower, and cleaned up, off, all that make-up and shit off his face, as he slipped on the change of clothes. ‘Now…where the fuck is that god damn guitar?!? Hell knows how long it’s been since I’ve played that thing. I’m gonna ace this, cause there’s no way in nine levels of hell, am I going to kiss that pink-haired bitch!’ Rummaging through his big, walk-in closet yet again, he finally found his old guitar, in all it’s dusty glory, on a specific top shelf. Blowing off some of the dust, caked on it, he ran his fingers over the guitar case, a nostalgic feeling welling up in his chest. A small smile over took his features, and he ignored the one little thought in the back of his mind that practically screamed. ‘I can’t wait.’ And ‘T-this is going to be fun!’
-TIME SKIP-
On the field, PEP RALLY!!!
The sound of kids talking and yelling was the only thing you could hear. Voices, and distinct talking boomed over each other’s as it rang across the fiel. Sasuke sat in the locker rooms getting ready to go out on to the foot ball field. ‘Alright! I can do this! Breathe! God, why am I so nervous! Come on, RELAX!!’ Sasuke thought, as he chewed his lower lip, roughly, tearing off a piece of dry skin, as blood began to form. He licked his lips, wiping off the coppery-tasted fluid, as he inhaled and exhaled repeatedly. ‘Hn, Maybe its because I didn’t expect that idiot to actually find a band! Dammit!”’ He was pulled out of his thoughts as he heard the stadium become quiet, and every now and than hushed voices could be heard. With this, the principal stepped onto the stage, and grabbed the microphone.
“Good afternoon students, and welcome to Konoha High’s first foot ball season for this years, pep rally! I want to thank you all for coming out and showing your support! Now for are first act…” he paused as he looked down at his clip board to check the list. Looking over it once more, to make sure is eyes didn’t deceive him, he announced meekly, “Uchiha Sasuke.” The acquired band members that Naruto got had arrived on the stage, and got into their positions as the waited for the young Uchiha, while the principal excited the stage.
“What! Sasuke Uchiha!? That creepy guy that never smiles is going to perform? Man this is going to suck!” some random guy said, quickly chorused by other comments like, “Yeah I
bet its some loud screamo music!” or “Oh god, what the hell were they thinking!” “This is a pep rally! It’s supposed to be loud, exciting and happy! Why is that freak performing?!?”
and a few “I know! What the fuck!”
Then the oh-so-famous…
“BOO!!!!”
̵ 6;Well! What are you waiting for Uchiha, get your ass into gear, and shut those fuckers up!’ Sasuke told himself. Taking a deep breate, he strode calmly, out onto the field. Than the crowd erupted into gasps, and the insults stop, as the audience gaped at his appearance, a few random, “HOLY FUCK” could be heard over the crowd. Making his way onto the stage, he ignored all of them, as he pulled his guitar over his head, and set it snugly against himself. He turned around and told the band a few words about the song, and at the nod of the other members of the group, he began to sing..
We don't have time left to regret…
He started as the other chorused in on that one line.
’Hold On’ And, we'll take more than common sense. He stroked viciously at a chord as he swayed his hips a little, a jerk of his hand on the strings.
’Hold On’ So stop your wondering, take a stand.
’Hold On’There's more to life than just to live
Than all of them joined in with another ’Hold On’ Before Sasuke sang loudly, the chorus.
Cause an empty room can be so loudThere's so many tears, to drown them out!So, hold onHold OnHold On, hold on
One single smile, a helping handHold OnIt's not that hard to be a friendHold OnSo, don't give up, stand till the endHold OnThere's more to life than just to liveHold on
Cause an empty room can be so loudThere's so many tears, to drown them outSo, hold onHold OnHold On, hold on
When you love someone, and they break your heart.Don't give up on love, have faith, restart!
With a small jump in the air, another stroke, and landing one the balls of his feet, he accentuated that previous line with a loud, So hold on, hold on!’Hold on, hold on. A small smiling grazing his lips, that showed his upper teeth, a bigger grinned formed, as the audience started cheering him on, at this part.
Letting go of his right hand, where he stroked the strings, he grabbed the microphone, and sang expertly. When we're miles apart…And, your feeling lost, All your hope is gone!He started strumming his guitar once more, as everyone sang, including most from the audience.Don't forget to hold onHold on-His eyes locked onto merry blue, as his voice slowly faded out, as the rest of the school, and band members sang the chorus together once more
Cause an empty room can be so loudThere's so many tears, to drown them out!So, hold on…Hold OnHold On, hold on. Grinning, he jumped once more into the air, and he started in on the last few lines with everyone.When you love someone, and they break your heart.Don't give up on love, have faith, restart!
The song ending abruptly, the sound of loud cheering, and clapping could be heard, as he tried to catch his breath.
“Woo-hoo! Way to go, Sasuke!!!” Naruto yelled, as he jumped up and down with his hands in the air. Sasuke smiled at him and then turned to the crowed! Chants of “En-core! En-core!" Could be heard as Sasuke waved to crowd, and took an over exaggerated bow! “Oi Sasuke!” yelled Naruto once more. “Sing another one!!” Naruto was grinning toothily, knowing full well Sasuke was having the time of his life.
A loud series of approvals, and compliments shocked him, slightly, as he asked into microphone. “Y-You want …me to sing another one?”
“Hell YEAH!” Lots of students shouted. Catching the look of approval from the principal, he returned the look with a decent nod. Turning back to the band members, he whispered a few more things, once more, and they both began another song.
There you goYou're always so rightIt's all a big showIt's all about you
He gave an intense stare into the crowd, at the next verse.
You think you know, what everyone needs.You always take time, to criticize me! An additional voice played in with Sasuke, as one of the members, who played the second guitar next to his joined in.
It seems like everydayI make mistakesI just can't get it right!!
It's like I'm the one you love to hate,But… not today!
So shut up, shut up, shut up. I don't wanna hear it. Sang Sasuke with fierce figure, as he shook his head, side to side, as if to get rid of a voice that was trying to tell him something.Get out, get out, get out;Get out of my way! He grabbed the microphone yet again, and said, Step up, step up, step up, You'll never stop me!!! With a loud yell, Sasuke and the other guitarist, roughly stroked there guitars, as they stood back to back together, singing fiercely.Nothing you say today, is gonna bring me down!!
There you go..You never ask why. It’s all a big lie.Whatever you do!!
You think you're special, he said, as he roamed his eyes over the crowd, letting a mocking glint into his eyes.But I know, and I know…And I know, and we knowTHAT YOUR NOT…!
Replacing the mocking glint with a smirk, he let his voice fade for a moment, while the second guitarist sang: You're always there to point out my mistakes.And then shove it all, in my face.
It's like I'm the one you love to hate, and then the second guitarist stopped, and all 4 of the band members, including Sasuke screamed. “But no today!!!”
So shut up, shut up, shut up, Don't wanna hear it! As he shook his whole entire body, as if getting rid of something that was plaguing his mind.Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way! As he playfully pushed the other guitarist, receiving on playful shove back. Than he stopped playing the guitar, while the drums, and guitarist played their part, and here he raised both of his hand, raising them up and down, as if saying, ‘come on!’ but instead he removed those words of his gesture by singing clearly, Step up, step up, step up!You'll never stop meNothing you say today is gonna bring me down!Is gonna bring me down
Will never bring me down!! A small smile, and a sway of his hips, as he thrust the microphone away from his body, before he pulled it back to his chest.
Don't tell me who I should be, and don't try to tell me what's right for me!Don't tell me what I should doI don't wanna waste my timeI'll watch you fade away. With that, he reached out to the crowds in a gesture of letting something go away, almost as if out of reach.
So shut up, shut up, shut up, don't wanna hear it!Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way! As he screamed this particular line loudly, and his eyes shut tightly, as he finished this verse with a feeling of joy.Step up, step up, step upYou'll never stop meNothing you say todayIs gonna bring me down!
Shut up, shut up, shut upDon't wanna hear itGet out, get out, get outGet out of my way
Step up, step up, step upYou'll never stop meNothing you say todayIs gonna bring me down
Bring me downshut up, shut up, shut upWon't bring me downshut up, shut up, shut upBring me downshut up, shut up, shut upWon't bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up! Than he threw the microphone off the side, as he abruptly stopped the song, the loud stadium erupting in cheers that drowned out the ‘thump’ of the microphone hitting the stage floor. With one more boy, he turned and thanked the others, as he exited the stage.
“SASUKE!” a voice carried itself to him, as he turned around to see Naruto run after him, with a grim, as he made his way out of the stadium. Finally catching up to Sasuke, Naruto reached out and playfully, all be it slightly painfully punched Sasuke’s upper arm.
“Yo, ass wipe!! What was all that bull about. ‘I can sing a little’ a little my ass! You cheated! So technically I don’t have to kiss that girl!” he announced proudly about his theory, earning a small snort from Sasuke.
“Yes you do! I didn’t cheat I told the truth and now tomorrow morning your going to make her float on cloud nine for the whole day! Although it’s pretty obvious, did I mention she will probably...Wait, scratch that, she WILL cling onto you even more, by the thought of thinking she’s your girlfriend.! Good luck with that Blondie!” Sasuke said with mirth, as he ran away from Naruto and sent a small wave over his shoulder.
“Damn you, Sasuke, you bastard!! That’s not fair!!” he yelled, chasing after Sasuke. His only reply was the sound of roaring laughter.
