If looks can kill

Chapter 1: Bullies

If looks can kill, all my enemies would be dead.

___________ 1st POV
I was pushed into an alleyway. Punches and kicks were headed my direction. I winced In pain.
"Hey Naruto, were is our money you promised?" A brunette asked. Kiba.
"I didn't promise you anything, Dog Breath!" I yelled. "Hey can we beat him?" Kiba asked the pale raven-hair. He nodded. I was held down by Kiba and a redhead, Gaara. The raven started throwing punches and kicks towards me. He pushed me towards the wall, hitting my head in the process, he then threw me on the cold concrete floor. Kiba handed Gaara a water bottle. Gaara proceeded to pour the cold water on my blonde head. Everything was fading. My vision was getting blurry and dark. I couldn't move. It hurts. A lot. What did I do to deserve this?
"Hey! Get off him!" I heard someone yelled. The trio looked at each other and ran the other way. I heard footsteps near me. I knew these footsteps. My best friend. Shikamaru. I smiled. The last thing I remember is Shika's worried face.
___________3rd POV
Naruto woke up with a massive headache. He slowly got up whilst rubbing his head to at least try to soothe the pain. Naruto slowly look around the familiar room. The walls were white with a few posters about games and Shoji things. Right next to the door there was a desk with a bunch of overdue homework along with a photo of Shikamaru's family and a photo with both Naruto, Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Gaara. The corner right next to the desk was a pack of Shoji games and papers. The opposite side of that corner was a a bed with green covers, where Naruto was currently at. Shikamaru's room. Naruto looked at his arms. Covered in bandages. At the mirror closet. That was facing the direction of the bed. He saw his face. A bandage under his eye. Another on his chin. The last one was on his forehead.
The door opened revealing Shikamaru. "Hey Shika." Naruto quietly said. "What a drag. Naruto how many times did I tell you. If they hurt you then defend yourself. Or at least call for help." Shikamaru scolded. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But like I told you I can defend myself but it pains me to hurt them. Well Sasuke and Gaara. I can't beat Kiba but not them. I love them both. I hold them dear to me, ya' know." Naruto sighed whilst Shikamaru shook his head and 'tsked',
__________Naruto POV
There was a comfortable yet awkward silence between us. "Are you gonna go home? I can ask my mom if you can stay. Or I can ask her if I can stay over at your house?" Shikamaru asked. "I don't know. Let's see what your mom says!" I replied rather loudly. "Ok ok ok, not so loud." Shikamaru whined. I chuckled in reply. I knew he didn't mean it in a bad way but it still hurts. A lot. Shikamaru helped me up. "Can you walk?" Shika asked.
"I'll be fine." I assured him with a smile. We went in to the kitchen to see Shikamaru's mom making food whilst his dad was dealing with some taxes. "Hey Mrs. Nara, can Shikamaru come over tonight?" I asked. She turned towards me. "Oh my Naru! Are you okay? Well if you look like this then yes! Shikamaru take care of your friends." She scolded Shikamaru. "What a drag. I will bye you guys." Shikamaru said as we walked to my house.
The sun was setting. It was around 6:40 or something. I smiled at the beautiful sun. If only I was the sun. I'd be miles and miles away from this shithole we call Earth. I didn't want to go home. I didn't want to see him. But it is what it is. I have to cook dinner because the rest of them are too lazy to. I sighed.
"What's wrong?" Shikamaru asked. "Well you know I have to make food and I don't know what to do? Maybe I'll just heat up the leftover curry we had yesterday. I made too much so, ya' know." I replied. It took 30 minutes to walk to my house. As I walked in, I saw my redheaded brother making out with the raven on the couch. "Hey Gaara, hey Sasuke, I'm back. Wheres Ino?" I asked. They did reply. I sighed.
"Ino, I'm home!" I called out. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs at a very fast rate. I was was attacked by one of my triplet sibling hugging me.
"Naruto you're home!" She exclaimed. She looked at my face. "Naruto what's wrong? Did someone hurt you? I swear I will find who ever laid hands on you and obliterate them." She cracked her knuckles. From the corner of my eye I saw Gaara and Sasuke stop for a sec then went back to what they were doing.
"No I just uhhh-" I scratched the back of my head. "He fell down the stairs at my house that's why." Shikamaru answered. I mentally sighed. "Yup!" I said going along with the lie. She shrugged. "So what are you going to cook? Can I help you?" Ino asked.
It was no secret that Ino looked up to me. I was the oldest after all. Then it was Gaara. In last was Ino. We do have a big brother, but he's abroad. And I looked up to him. He was good at art and at Science. Which was pretty cool, ya' know! "I'm just going to heat up the leftover curry from yesterday." I saw the look of disappointment in her face. "But you can cook with me tomorrow." I put my hand on her shoulder. She smiled.
"I'll set the table." She said and proceeded to set the table.
"Shika, you can sit on the couch- I mean go with Ino or you can help me bring the plates on the table." I said as I got the leftover curry out of the fridge. "I'll just stay with you." He answered. I nodded and place the leftover curry in the microwave. "Why do you let them treat you like that Naruto? You're not a toy or a maid." Shikamaru asked. "Well I-" I was cut of by the beeping of the microwave. 'Life saver.' I thought.
"Foods ready." I yelled I walked to the dining table full of plates. Gaara rolled his eyes and Sasuke smirked at me whilst he licked his lips. 'That was hot.' I thought. I gave him a disgusted look. He rolled his eyes.
As we ate it was awkward. "Hey Naruto," Ino started. "Yeah." I said giving her the signal I was all ears. "Well I heard a rumor that you and Shika were dating or that you were dating this guy named Itachi."  Ino finished.
I scratched my cheek. "Well I am just friends with Shika and plus Shika is dating Temari. And you know how scary she can be, so make sure that the doesn't spread and as for Itachi... well I don't know. We're just talking." I answered. Suddenly Sasuke slammed his hands on the table and got up. "I forgot something at home. The meal was awful." He replied as he got his black hoodie that was left on the couch and left. "That was weird. Anyways go on with this Itachi guy." Ino smirked.
"Well he's one year older than us so he's 18 and well, he's so handsome and nice. When he talks it's like his voice is drowning you in a good way. He makes sure I don't accidentally fall and hurt myself and he protects me from bastards, ya' know." I ranted on and on about Itachi.
"Sound like your head over heals for him." Gaara commented. I scratched the back of my head. "I guess I am." I nervously chuckled. 'Since when was Gaara interested in my love life?' I thought. I shrugged.

When everyone was done eating I quickly washed and put away the dishes and went up stairs to my room with Shika.
As we walked we felt a wave of cold air hit us. "What a drag, it's so cold." Shikamaru complained. "Sorry! I left the AC on this morning!" I apologized. I gave him my lucky orange blanket. "Thanks." He said was he wrapped my blanket around him. Making him look like a taco. Then we waddled to my bed and laid down. It was quiet. I was texting my dad.

"Well you should be happy that he's visiting." Shikamaru tiredly said.

And he fell asleep. I  shook my head and smiled. "This is my best friend. I love him." I went outside for a walk. I usually do this when I needed help. I walked to my secret hideout in the middle of the forest. I built this hideout with Sasuke a long time ago. We were 5. It was more of a secret tent. Inside this tent were photos of past memories. On photo of me and Sasuke in a amusement park. Another of us- well me- shoving food in our faces. And a few more.
I sighed. "Why didn't I just forgave him?" I said out loud. I heard shuffling in the direction where the worn out little mattresses were. I turned to see my best buddy. A fox.
"Kurama!" I exclaimed. Kurama joyfully walked towards me and licked my cheek. "Hey that tickles." I chuckled. I patted his head. "Sorry boy, I didn't bring food." I apologized. He gave me the cutest puppy- well fox- eyes. I sighed in defeat. "All right. All right. But you know the drill. Hide in my sweater and be quiet." I hide him in my orange, oversized, comfortable hoodie. He popped out his head where the v-neck thing was.
Walking to the forest to my house took 10 minutes. I quietly walked in the kitchen and I started to heat up the curry that Sasuke was going to have. I took Kurama out of my hoodie and placed him on the floor and feed him the curry, which he gladly took. I felt a buzz in my pocket. A text message. 'Itachi'. I smiled.
