I jumped quickly onto the right side, at the same time falling on some wires which bended under my weight.
I only heard the squeak of the tires and the car was gone.
-Yo! Are you alive?- I heard a voice coming from the side. I turned my head around. I saw Kiba running in my direction. He walked up to me and lend me a hand.
-Ouch...I think so.- I said while grabbing his hand and standing up.
-Are you doing that always?.- he asked
-Doing what?- I asked surprised while smartening up my shirt.
-Do you always run in front of the oncoming cars?
-No, today was a special day.- I said.
-Very funny.Jeez...don't do it again I almost got a heart attack.
-Hah, ok. I will try not to.- I laughed.- Should we get going?
-Yea, let's go, let's go, otherwise we will be late,- He said while looking at the display on his phone.
-At what time have we got the train?
-Train comes every 10 minutes from 6 am till 10 am.
I stopped walking
-Then why the fuck are we rushing.- I felt as if all my energy left me.
-Because I arranged a meeting with someone.
-Then why am I going with you?
-Because you have to meet them.
-Them? I looked at him.
-Damn, move your ass and don't whine first thing in the morning.
-I won't go anywhere till you tell me, what you are hiding from me.
-Yea,hiding...7kg whale in my backpack.- he made a wry face.
-Very funny.So?
Kiba stopped and turned in my direction,
-Shino and Chouji- since grade school we were going to the school together.
-Won't I be a bother?
-You will be a bother for the next few years, we have to get used to it, let's go.- he said and started walking.
I didn't look too pleased, but I fallowed him.
***
Yo Shino and Chouji! - shouted Kiba when we arrived at the underground train station. He was waving at the 2 boys standing in front of us. One of them waved to us.
-Hey Kiba! You're late.
-Sorry, sorry...- said Kiba while laughing and running towards the two boys, leaving me a bit behind- I have to introduce someone to you- he said -So -Shino,Chouji- this is Sas-
Kiba didn't finish, since one of the boys covered his mouth with his hand giving him a hint to be quiet. When Kiba stopped talking, the boy turned to me and passed me his hand.
-I Shino Aburame am named, and you are Sasuke Uchiha, if I'm not wrong?
The boy, I mean Shino was taller than me. Just like me and Kiba he had the same school uniform but he had some pedants with insects attached to his trousers. He had dark spiked hair. I don't know what was his eye colour because he had dark round glasses on.
-Ehmm..yea,yea- I said slightly confused by his not natural way of speaking and shook his hand.- nice pendants- I laughed.
- Insects are my passion. Please, let your soul understand this.
-Ehhh...ok.- I said and smiled.
-So Sasuke dear, what brings you here?- he asked and he let go off my hand at the same time.
-Ehh, well - I wanted to finished the sentence but Kiba interrupted me.
-Sasu came here from Kyoto with his family. Sorry, but at this rate we will be late for the train. So, let's be quick about it - Sasuke this is Chouji. Chouji this is Sasuke.- we shook hands - Chouji is a great cook, and our psychologist and the only man on earth who understands every woman. Sasuke...is my new pain in the ass. Ok, let's go.- he said everything on one breath, with a smile on his face he patted our backs and he headed in the direction of the train.
-Excuse me, what did you say that I am?- I asked Kiba, slightly confused.
-A verruca.- laughed Chouji- Come-Come - he said and went ahead and I went right behind him.
When I caught up to Kiba, walking side by side I hissed:
-We will have a proper talk later.
-Mother don't hurt me, I don't want porridge- said Kiba with a childish voice, and Chouji laughed at him, and I rolled my eyes while Shino's expression hasn't changed at all.
***
We were riding the train for about 5 minutes.
Kiba stood and leaned on the wall of the train, with his hands in his pockets. He lowered his head. I sat next to him, Choiji stood in front of us and Shino sat next to me.
Chouji- a bit taller than me, with quite big body but with friendly attitude. He also had tattoos on his cheeks just like Kiba, but on his cheeks he didn't have red triangles, he had red spirals.
Shino was a bit...weird. But time will show.
While Kiba is a stubborn jerk but I like him anyway.
My thoughts were disturbed by a scream of a girl.
-Look, look! So handsome!- squealed some pink-haired girl. I looked in her direction. She was also looking at me. Her pink outfit was hurting my eyes.
When our eyes met - she squealed.
-Amazing, amazing! He's incredible!- shouted some girl standing next to her. The amount of jewellery she had gave me a headache.
-Just how I thought.- said Kiba with a huge smile on his face, while looking at me.
-What?
-Your fanclub is coming.- laughed Chouji - but no matter what we will support you.- he laughed
-I don't understand.
-Just like an angel that came from heaven, with his light he outshines the sky. Onyx from his eyes, that every girl can see.- "sang" Shino.
-Huh?
-Men blessed with such looks as yours are rare in Tokyo.- translated Kiba
-Is that so?
-They will chase you like some fresh meat. One day you will remember my words.- laughed Kiba
I looked at him like at an idiot and Kiba laughed even harder.
-Why are you laughing- I said in annoyed tone.
-I don't know...haha...somehow...-he said while covering his lips. Chouji also laughed.
-Ok, let's go.- said Kiba when the train stopped.
***
On the way to school the guys told me where is what, since yesterday I went to school taking different route, and this one was new to me. Kiba kept "translating" whenever Shino said something, that made me feel a bit uneasy. But Chouji told me to relax, that soon I will get used to it.
We went inside the school.
-Ok, then we are taking off, because yesterday sensei said that he wanted to talk to us before the lesson starts. See ya in class!- waved Chouji and left with Shino.
-Yooo! Let's go Sasukee!- Kiba clapped his hands.
-Go where?- I asked
-Isn't it obvious! I have to introduce you to some people, my new pain in the ass- he said with a smile.
-Right. About that "pain in the ass" thing - I began, while moving my finger around, but he only shrugged. And he grabbed my sleeve and dragged me.
***
Sasuke, this is Sai. Sai this is Sasuke.
-Hello, nice to meet you, Sasuke.- we shook hands.
-Nice to meet you.
Sai was similar looking to me- we were the same height, he had longer, dark hair, dark eyes and pale skin.
The only thing that was different was the fact that he gave off the impression of a - calm, optimistic , well-behaved guy. Total opposite from me.
-I'm happy that we will spend this year in the same class.- he said while smiling.
I replied with a short smile
Suddenly behind our back I heard some girl
-Kiba-kun, Sai-kun! - was calling them a girl with long blonde hair, running in our direction. Sai waved to her, with a smile on his face.
When I looked at Kiba, what I just saw surprised me - Kiba was totally nervous, with red face, and he nervously was grabbing his hands.
-O...o...o-hayo! - he managed to say that after seeing the girl.
-I was looking for you guys for like 15 minutes. I wanted to ask you if you are free on sa- suddenly the girl looked at me.
Tall, skinny, long blonde hair with blue eyes, with rather interesting "sizes" that were highlighted by the unbuttoned shirt.
She gave off an impression of a nice and social type of girl.
-Ino, right? - I asked while passing her my hand. The girl was surprised.
-Y-yes, I'm Ino. How do you know my name?- she asked and shook my hand.
-Hinata told me about you - I replied - I'm Sasuke.
Ino after hearing my name let go off my hand and covered her mouth.
Her reaction was rather odd, so I wanted to ask "what happened?" but she was faster:
-It's you! - she shouted, pointing her finger at me but she quickly stopped pointing when she realised it's not nice to point at people.
-It's me? - I asked
-I know about you...from Hinata as well.- she laughed.
-Rumours spread fast, right? - laughed Sai.
-Y-y-yes...ff-ffff-fast! - said Kiba
His condition was worsening - he kept getting more red every time Ino looked at him.
-Aw, you don't look too well Ki- the girl worried and put her hand on his forehead, and Kiba as a reaction quietly squealed and went numb from the touch of a girl.
Now I understand what's going on.
I tried to keep a serious look on my face, but Sai kept smiling.
I decided to put an end to this awkward situation.
-About Hinata...Do you know where she is,Ino?
-Hinata is part of the school council. From what I know she will be very busy on the first days of school, she won't be on breaks and she won't attend some lessons - she said - but don't worry you can catch her after school - she said with a smile. - Ah, by the way! I came here because I wanted to hang out in town with our class on Saturday, and I wanted to ask you if you want to come and if you got time? I will be going, Neji, Shino, Chouji, Temari, Hinata and Tayuya. Do you want to join us Sasuke? You will have a chance to get to know the town more, and get closer to most part of the class. - she suggested with a smile on her face, she looked pleased with her idea.
-Sure- I said.
-I will come too - said Sai.
-Great!- she clapped her hands.- and what about you, Ki? - she asked while getting a close look at his face.
If you only knew that he behaves like that, because of you...
-W-wi-with pleasure! - he shouted
-Cool! Then I will go get Neji and the rest so we can discuss the details. I will be back soon! - She said loudly while waving and running towards a group of people.
We looked together with Sai at Kiba and we burst out laughing.
Kiba suddenly "woke".
-What are you laughing at?! We haven't got an entire day! Sai, get the rest of the class, because I have to introduce them to this orphan.- ordered Kiba , and Sai only smiled and disappeared in the crowd.
-Oh boy.- I laughed.
-Be quiet. Let's go over there.- hissed Kiba and he pushed me forward while seeing off Ino with a dreamy look on his face.
We walked a little forward and Kiba suddenly stopped. While still laughing I looked ahead of me and my smile vanished from my face.
-Naru! Have you got a minute? - asked Kiba while going towards him and leaving me behind in the middle of a corridor. Kiba walked up to him, said something and then pointed at me, and my body automatically became stiff when I felt Naruto looking at me.
Why is this guy making my body react to him this way?
Blonde-haired guy smiled and he walked with Kiba in my direction.
When they were close Kiba ran towards me, went behind me and pushed me to Naruto, I almost fell over.
-Naru, this is Sasuke.- Kiba introduced us to each other.
-Nice to meet you, Sasuke.- he smiled and reached out his hand.
-Nice to meet you too,- I said and I didn't shake his hand, confused Naruto dropped his hand.
Kiba while standing on the side, was looking at me in a strange way.
-Naru, yes? - I asked
-Actually my name is Naruto, but friends call me Naru.
-Then I will call you Naruto.- I said bluntly.
Nauto looked at me with a sad expression.
I felt that Kiba kicked my ankle, but I completely didn't pay attention to that.
-So...you came here from...? asked Naruto with a gentle smile.
-Kyoto.
-Really? Nice, I like that town.
-I don't- I said.
Kiba kicked me in the ankle again.
-Were you the one that I saw in the park before? - he asked
-Yes, I think so.
Naruto felt a bit uneasy, and Kiba was angry, and I was ignoring both of them - I mean I tried to.
-I heard that you became friends with Hinata.
-Yea, why?
-No, no, it's nothing. But if you will ever need help you can always come to me- he said while smiling to try and get rid off tension between us.
-Thanks- I said.
-I know! I will give you my phone number.
-How to save your contact?- I asked while switching on the pone.
-May I?- he asked while pointing at my phone.
-Sure.- I passed him my phone.
When Naru was typing on my phone, I looked at Kiba- He was looking at me with an expression saying -I will kill you.
-OK, done.- He smiled and gave me back my phone. I hid it in my pocket.
-You know, I also wanted to ask y-- Naruto suddenly became silent and looked at me terrified.
-What happened?- I asked
-Sasuke, you're bleeding! - he shouted and pointed at my right arm.
I looked at it- the shirt was torn and my arm wounded.
I knew it, I torn it this morning when I fell on the wires, but I didn't notice this wound.
-We have to wash it.- he said and grabbed my right arm. He pulled me to the side and got closer to me, while closely observing my wound.
Naruto stood very close to me. I felt his breath on my neck.
-You know, I will be fine, so-
-Let's go to the bathroom to rinse it- said naruto and pulled me in the direction of the bathrooms, when suddenly Kiba got between us.
-Ok, then I will take him there, you can wait here.- he said with a smile and before Naruto could say anything Kiba was already pulling me by my hand to the bathroom.
***
-Fuck, fucking wires- I hissed while rubbing off the blood.
Kiba stood next to me and leaned on the wall.
-Sasuke can I ask you something?- asked Kiba.
-You can.
-To be precise I want to ask 2 questions.
-Ok.- I said while carrying on rubbing the blood.
-First: how did you got that bruise?
I got surprised.
-What bruise?
-That bruise- he said and pointed at my nape.
I checked in a mirror above the sink - he was right I got quite a big bruise there. It wasn't much visible because of the collar.
When I saw it I remembered the yesterday's encounter with Itachi.
-I hit myself.- I made that up after few seconds of thinking.
-In the neck?- he asked surprised.
-Yes, in the neck. Second question? - I quickly changed the subject.
Kiba sighed.
-Why did you treat Naru that way?
