Under the Sun

 

Hello again, here with an update. Also if no one noticed I re-uploaded the previous chapter with an extended ending that didn't seem to make it in. Enjoy and as always read and review.

Sasuke sat in the lobby of the tallest building on campus, text book and a few papers splayed out on a round table where he sat alone with ear buds resting in his ears; tapping his foot to the music as he drowned the world out.

I know you like that

You wanna try that

It's like a flashback

So shake your ass crack

I got the balls to

Rock the salsa

Funk the blues-a

Any groove to

He neatly printed in a notebook sitting next to his textbook. He looked at the printed paper then the textbook then wrote in his notebook, occasionally highlighting in his textbook. He paused as he read a rather lengthy paragraph in his textbook

Make you move cos

Taking you to

Another landscape

It's my mandate

I'm highly animated even though I'm decomposing

So if your feet is frozen I'ma die to see you ropin'

Sasuke sighed as he turned to the next page in his text and frowned when he saw even longer paragraphed and he could swear the text was getting smaller. Just then someone pulled a chair up next to him and sat down. Sasuke glanced to his right and spotted Naruto with a tray carrying a plate full of fries. The blond said something to him but the sound of "Rock the House by the Gorillaz" was drowning him out. Sasuke paused his iPod and removed his ear buds and gave a quizzical look.

"What are you listening to?" Naruto repeated slowly as if Sasuke were slow in the head.

"Gorillaz." Sasuke stated. Naruto quickly snatched the iPod from the brunette and plugged the ear buds in and hit play.

"I love this song!" The blond shouted rather loudly before grabbing a few fries and cramming them in his mouth. Sasuke gawked as Naruto started browsing his library with his greasy fingers. "You have great taste in music." Naruto smiled brightly, Sasuke eyes narrowed. He was about to snatch his iPod back and yell at the blond for putting his greasy fingers all over the screen until Naruto handed it back to him still smiling. The raven rolled his eyes before going back to his work.

"How are you still eating after a giant bowl of noodles?" Sasuke asked not looking up from his text book.

"Im hungry." The blond said simply. "And plus its been a while since we had ramen."

Sasuke quirked an eyebrow at Naruto as he stuffed more fries into his mouth. "Its only been like two hours…if that."

"Im a growing boy" Naruto laughed. "What are you working on anyway."

"Homework." Sasuke sighed.

"Homework? What the…It's the first day of classes…"

"Both Anko and Kakashi assigned homework."

"We have homework for English?"

"Didn't you read the syllabus?"

"Nope." Naruto continued to eat his fries. For the second time Sasuke rolled his eyes and went back to doing his work. It was silent for a few minutes until Naruto had finished his fries to Sasuke's astonishment since it had been a rather large plate and pile of fries. Sasuke was content however when Naruto didn't go any further to bother Sasuke and remained quiet, watching Sasuke finish up his work. It was peaceful until…

"Naruto!" Kiba jogged up to them. "I've been looking for you dude!"

"Kiba! How come you didn't call me?" Kiba pulled up a chair on the opposite side of Sasuke who was still trying to finish his work.

"My phones dead." Kiba sighed. They continued talking over Sasuke rather loudly, cracking jokes and comparing who had tougher classes this semester. Figuring that he wasn't going to be able to concentrate on his work Sasuke closed his text book and his notebook, put the loose printed pages in a folder and returned them all to his bag. A sudden jingling caught his attention, a ringtone from one of the pockets in his bag. Unzipping the side pocket he fetched his phone and looked at the screen. A girl with fiery red hair a scary look on her face greeted his with the bold words "Incoming Call from Karin"

"Naruto wheres Sakura?" Kiba asked Naruto who was looking at Sasuke's screen. "Naruto!" Kiba shouted. Sasuke looked up at the blond as he answered the call and Naruto looked away quickly locking eyes with Kiba.

"huh?" He said dumbly.

"Where's your girlfriend?" The brunette deadpanned

"Hello?" Sasuke speaks into the phone.

"I'm not sure, she said he would be here by now…" Naruto said sounding distracted, eyes glancing toward the raven every now and then.

"Im not going to talk to you about that!" Sasuke flushed.

"That's weird. Have you called her?"

"I did, she won't pick up."

"No…" Sasuke sighed already tired of the conversation that he was having. "Because I don't want to talk to him…or them…especially him!" Sasuke's voice rose. "They're like his little spies." Sasuke looked to the other occupents of the table who we're looking at him curiously. "Look I'll call you when I get home….bye." He ended the call and put his phone aay before looking at Naruto then Kiba. "Sorry about that."

"Dude, what was that about?" Kiba asked.

"My friend wanted me to talk to some people I'd rather not talk to. It's bad enough they stalk my Facebook.

"Why don't you want to talk to them?" Naruto asked this time.

"My ex-boyfriends spies. We didn't break up on a good note and now theyre trying to get dirt on me and report back to him."

"Ex-boyfriend?" A blond eye brow quirked.

"Yes…" A dark eyebrow arched.

"Oh right! I almost forgot you were gay." The blond laughed at himself. Sasuke rolled his eyes and Kiba shook his head.

"So what are you guys doing now? Im bored and done with classes for today and its only….two o' clock."

"Let's hit the arcade!" Kiba said enthusiastically, fists thrust above his head.

"Must you be so loud?" A lazy voice drawled out from behind the trio. All three boys looked behind them and spotted another brunette with his hair tied up in a ponytail with a rather bored looking expression on his face.

"Shika! What are you doing here!"

"Picking up Temari." He stated. "I was on my way to where her class is. Shikamaru's eyes glanced at Sasuke. "Uchiha, I had heard you were back in town. I'd never think Id find you here of all places. Last I heard you could go to any school in the country."

"I could say the same for you Shika." Kiba chimed in. "You got into all the Ivy League schools but decided to stay in Cali because moving is "Too troublesome."".

"Im only going to be here for a few months then Im going to UCLA…Im taking some down time."

"Either way, its good to see you again." Sasuke looked at the boy curiously, he couldn't remember Shikamaru ever being so talkative.

"Hey Shika, wanna go to the arcade with us?" Naruto asked, getting up from his seat and walking over to his friend.

"I don't know…" Shikamaru rubbed the back of his neck. "I was supposed to be spending the day with Temari since we don't spend that much time with eachother."

"Don't worry babe." A pair of arms wrapped around Shikamaru's waist from behind him. "We can go to the arcade for a little bit, you haven't seen these guys in a while." A blond woman with her hair in pig tails stood behind Shikamaru. Sasuke looked her up and down and noticed she was taller than all of them, but not by much.

"Then that settles it! To the arcade!" Naruto shouted, sounding like a child.

"So troublesome…" Shikamaru rolled his eyes

"Sweet, I'll grab Hinata!" Kiba grinned.

"Are you still trying to get with that girl?" Shikamaru asked.

"Hey! I actually got her to go on a date-sort of-with me!"

"That only took you two years." Temari commented. The blond girls green eyes soon found themselves focused on Sasuke for the first time. "So, are you Sasuke that Ino has been talking about?"

"She's been talking about me?"

"Only all day, going on about how hot you are and what she would do to you if you weren't playing for the other team. I have to say, you aren't bad to look at." She smirked, Sasuke frowned. Naruto cleared his throat grabbing everyones attention.

"If were all going to go…how are we getting there. We cant all fit in Shika's car."

"Its fine blondie! I got my car out of the shop." Kiba said with a huge grin.

"You guys have fun." Sasuke said quietly before trying to slink away.

"Oh no you don't!" Naruto grabbed Sasuke by the arm. "You are not about to spend the rest of the day doing homework.

(LINE-BREAK)

Sasuke wasn't sure how he ended up here cramped inside Kiba's 2000 Mustang. The two door car was small to say the least and it didn't help that Kiba had a bunch of junk in the back seat. So here he was, squished beside Naruto who was loudly singing some Katy Perry song, of key of course. Kiba singing along wasn't making matters any better. All the while Hinata sat in the comfortable front seat giggling at the two boy's actions. He really wished he would have taken Temari's offer and rode with her and Shikamaru.

They soon arrived at the Arcade that also doubled as a comic book shop. Geek central is what Naruto and Kiba called it. Sasuke looked at the sign above the entry way. "Kyuubi's Arcade". The raven sighed and entered.

"Who wants to get their ass kicked at Street Fighter!" Naruto announced as he walked in. Immediately Kiba escorted Hinata over to the racing games and Temari and Shikamaru walked over to the House of the Dead 3 game. "Guess that means you!" Naruto grinned at Sasuke before he jogged over to an empty Street Fighter 4 booth. Sasuke sighed, seeing that there was no way out of it. Fishing some coins from his pocket he put them into the machine and Naruto followed suit. "Just as a warning…" Naruto started the game and the character selection screen popped up. "I am undefeated at this game." He said with confidence.

"Is that so?" Sasuke replied. Naruto chose Sakura as his character. Sasuke chose Abel.

The game went much quicker than either of them had thought. Naruto stood the2re in stunned silence as he gaped at the screen. Sasuke had beaten him with two perfects. "How did you…? Again! Must be beginners luck!" Naruto said trying to convince himself. Sasuke shrugged and agreed with a smirk. They both put more quarters in and restarted the match. Naruto tried his best to keep up with Sasuke who was dodging all of his moves and canceling out all of his techniques. The raven again won with two perfects. Someon behind the two boys whistled as they looked at the screen. Sasuke turned around and saw what looked like an older version of Naruto standing behind them.

"I would say that you got your ass handed to you son." The man said with an amused look on his face.

"Gee, thanks a lot dad." Naruto said, obviously annoyed. Naruto turned around and glared at his father who happened to own the arcade. "Sasuke, this is my dad. Dad this is Sasuke. No time to talk! We're playing BlazBlue! Naruto announced before jogging over to the game."

"Heh, he's fired up." The older blond grinned. "Say, if you keep beating him, you get free games." Minato smiled at Sasuke and handed him a hand full of quarters from a pouch hanging from his hip.

"Uh…thanks." The raven looked at the older blond oddly. Minato saluted Sasuke before heading deeper into the arcade. Now with more quarters Sasuke headed to where Naruto was.

Naruto, again stood dumbfounded as he had been swept again by Sasuke three times in a row. Sasuke stood there smirking at him with his hands in his pockets. "There's like…no way." Naruto finaly said after a few minutes of stunned silence."

"Guess you're not a good as you thought you were." Sasuke chided. Naruto glared at the raven.

"How are you so good at these games!" He glared and pointed at the raven.

"Easy, I own almost all these games." Sasuke shrugged before walking away from Naruto. Naruto was about to say something when suddenly he felt a vibrating from his pocket. He fished out his phone and say "Incoming Call from Sakura". Naruto immediately hit the ignore button and chased after the raven who was heading for the comic books. The blond followed closely behind Sasuke who was browsing through the DC comic books.

"You like comic books?" Naruto said incredulously.

"Is that so strange?" Sasuke grabbed an issue of Batman before opening it.

"You just…don't look the part…"

"What part?" Sasuke looked up from the comic.

"Well you look like a…uh…" Naruto tried to choose his words, not wanting to upset the raven.

"A what?" Sasuke asked, agitation evident in his voice.

"you know! Like those guys that act like they're too cool for anything and spend all day at starbucks on their laptops updating their twitter." Naruto gulped as he looked at Sasuke who stared at him. The silence was making Naruto uncomfortable before Sasuke let out a breathy laugh. Closing the comic book and putting it back on the rack he looked at Naruto.

"I don't even own a twitter and I barely even check my Facebook." Naruto visibly relaxed.

"So…" Naruto looked at the comic books. "You're a DC guy?"

"Don't tell me your Marvel…"

"Damn right!" The blond grinned. "DC ain't got shit on Marvel." Naruto said proudly.

"Pretty sure Batman and Superman could take them all on." Sasuke said simply with a smirk on his face. Naruto opened his mouth to retort but someone cut him off.

"So you are here!" An angry feminine voice cut the boys of from their impending argument. Naruto turned around and "meeped". Sasuke looked over the taller blonds shoulder and saw a girl with bubble gum pink hair. Sasuke frowned, he recognized this girl but couldn't think where from. Sakura looked over Naruto's shoulder at the raven and a sour look took over her features. "So Uchiha is back." She said with a frown.

"You guys know eachother?" Naruto looked at Sasuke then back to Sakura who was glaring.

"I don't think so…" Sasuke sounded puzzled.

"Oh, we know eachother." She stepped past Naruto and looked at Sasuke with crossed arms. "Or have you completely forgotten me, even after you broke my heart? How about you try and picture me with my natural bown hair." Sasuke frowned and tried to do as she asked.

"Haruno?"

"That's more like it."

"Sakura what's going on?"

"Back in high school this asshole had all the girls swarming over him ready to do anything he wanted…including me." Sasuke's eyes widened with realization.

"Sakura I…" Sasuke tried to speak.

"Used me? Lied to me?" She cut him off.

"Sakura what are you talking about…" Naruto asked, clearly lost. The tension was almost tangible between the three hidden between the comic book isles.

"You see, while in high school Sasuke was still in the closet and had to keep up appearances. He had tons of girlfriends including me and Hinata." Sasuke frowned. "People were starting to get suspicious thought, so many girlfriends but he wasn't having sex with any of them…that is until…"

"Sakura…you…?"

"I gave him my virginity."
