Uncovered (Naruto Highschool Fanfiction)

'Whimpering like a puppy'

Naruto's POV

*BEEP *BEEP *BEEP

"My ramen's ready." Someone snatched my chopsticks from my hand. "Come back with my chopsticks you damn T-rex!" He stomped away laughing.

"Y..you can't even...reach your mouth." *BEEP *BEEP *BEEP I opened my eyes and saw my alarm clock,"Why don't you shut up." I slapped the top and it stopped blaring that annoying sound.

"Naruto." Kakashi knocked on my door,"You're going to be late."

"Ugh...My ramen's gonna get cold." Why won't he give me back my chopsticks?

He opened the door letting in the light. I covered my head with my pillow. When I felt like I was just about to fall asleep the pillow was pulled from my hands and my blanket was ripped from my body. I pulled my knees to my chest as I felt goose bumps forming on my skin,"Look at the clock, Naruto."

"No-Ah!" He pulled my eyelids open. 8:02! I quickly got out of bed. Kakashi tossed my uniform shirt at me.

"Hurry."

~~~

I quickly got changed, brushed my teeth, grabbed my bag, and walked down stairs,"Here." Kakashi handed me a piece of toast,"You really have to stop staying up so late."

"...I know."

~~~

The ride was silent. He parked in his usual spot and we got out of the car,"Thank you for letting me ride with you. I'm sorry you're late." I nervously scuffed my shoe and avoided his eyes.

Kakashi said with a sigh,"It's alright, Naruto."

I slung my bag over my shoulder and walked into school. While I was changing into my slippers a girl bumped into me,"Watch where you're going!" she yelled. Your're the one who bumped into me. I walked to my class and sat down at my seat.

~~~

During class one student was hassling people and taking money from them.

"Hey..."the bully walked up to me,"Do you think I can borrow some money?" he held his hand out. His name is Suigetsu.

"No, I don't have any."

"Oh, really? Because I always see your shitty wallet full of it."

"I'm not giving you anything so get out of my face."

"So you do have balls, huh?" he grabbed me by my collar. I looked behind him at the teachers podium. Kakashi isn't here yet. Must be in the office. "Looking for the teacher to help you? You're pathetic. Talking shit and then getting scared when I haven't laid a hand on you." Now I'm pissed.

"Who said I was scared?" I grabbed his wrist and squeezed it. He grunted in pain,"I'm not even trying and I've got you whimpering like a puppy...How about you get out of my face." I shoved him away and he finally backed off.

~~~

At lunch I went to the vending machines with the benches. Maybe no one's there like yesterday.

"Where's our money!" Huh? I turned a corner and saw three guys cornering the Suna transfer student.

"I never promised you money." He spoke in monotone.

"You don't have it?" The guy in the middle put his hands on the wall trapping him. The boy held his bento in a tight grip. Not out of fear, but anger,"You're dead line was today..." he gripped his collar and raised his fist.

? POV

He glared at me with his fist raised. Just as I was about to kick I saw a fist fly into his face. I then saw Kiba topple to the floor. I looked to the left and saw a guy with spiky blonde hair. That airhead that everyone mutually dislikes. Why is he helping me?

Kiba's eyes widened in shock but a smirk soon formed on his lips.

The blonde stayed silent keeping his head down.

He raised his fists,"You finally want to fight, Asshat?" Kiba ran at him aiming for a punch.

The blonde dodged it and landed a punch of his own. This continued for a while. With each punch that was dodged, and each hit that bruised his body, Kiba got angrier which made all his hits even more reckless. The blonde aimed another punch at Kiba's head. He slammed his fist under his chin making him fall back...He didn't get up.

The blonde blinked dumbly and scratched the top of his head,"Uhh..."

Neji face palmed and went to pick Kiba up,"Come help me, Shino." they wrapped his arms around their shoulders and started to walk away. As they left Neji grumbled about how much of a dumbass Kiba was.

"You alright?" The blonde asked me. A bruise was forming on his tan cheek.

"Why did you help me?"

Shocked at how blunt I am he did not answer immediately,"Well, you're the transfer student. I know you really wanted to hit Kiba, but if you got into a fight they would take away your scholarship...Oh!" he blushed,"I'm Naruto by the way."

"Gaara."

He got a soda from the machine and sat down at the bench,"You're mom make you a bento?"

I sat next to him on the bench and untied the cloth holding my bento and opened it.

"That's a nice bento."

The food was shaped like rabbits and cats,"My sister made it."

"Kawaii."

I looked up at him.

"You're sister is good at making those." he smiled and took a bite out of his sandwich.
