As Naruto woke the next morning, he felt his head pulse. That note the Director had given him had triggered a major headache. The blonde groaned as he sat up. The pain only got worse. He held his head for a moment and then when he felt the pain ware away just a little, he stood calmly and cautiously just incase the pain wanted to make itself known in the blondes head again. He made his way to the bathroom while he held his head with one hand. The blonde opened the cabinet behind the mirror and pulled out the pain killers. He took two out of the bottle and swallowed them with out any fluid.

After the pain from the headache was relaxed, Naruto shed his clothes and stepped into the shower. He thought about the Director and her reason for him to, in a way, seduce the teacher to make him trust other people. He wondered why the raven couldn’t trust people in the first place, and how did the Director know about it? As he thought that last, he exited the shower and made his way into his room with a towel around his waist. Naruto opened the drawer to his desk and took out his cell phone. He opened it and seen a new text icon at the bottom of the screen. As he read, his eyes widened. He couldn’t believe what he was reading. Sakura was coming to this University next year? He beamed and wrote her back.

The blonde dressed and made his way out of the dorm with all of the essentials. He ran down the stairs and out the doors into the still fog covered campus. He sprinted to the soccer field where he seen all the soccer team members chatting and waiting for Naruto to show up. Kiba spotted him coming and told every one to get ready. When Naruto was in voice reach, Kiba and the other team members yelled, “Congratulations!” Naruto was stunned and had stopped in his tracks when they shouted at him. Kiba made his way over to the blonde, “Hey, you’re on the team buddy!” The brunet said exuberantly as he latched his arm around Naruto’s shoulders in a friendly manner. “C’mon, we brought food and drinks for your party,” Kiba grinned and led Naruto over to the treats.

“I know I had already gotten on the team, so why did you do this?” Naruto asked as Kiba left him to grab a cookie and shove it in his mouth in an impolite manner. Naruto seen a mistake in his words and quickly went to fix it, “Not that I’m not happy about it, but don’t you think it’s a bit much?” The blonde looked over at Kiba who was currently helping himself to the refreshments.

A black haired player stepped forward toward Naruto, “Good morning! My names Rock Lee, and I was the one who organized the party,” He rubbed the back of his head with an awkward grin on his face. “I even had Tsunade-sama approve the food and drinks,” the ebony haired teen said confidently.

“That’s quite an achievement since Tsunade-sama doesn’t allow food out onto the campus,” Kiba smirked and put down his drink and headed over to the two boys talking. “I think the old hag has a soft spot for our new recruit,” Kiba nudged the blonde with his elbow and gave a quiet yet noticeable chuckle.

Naruto’s face went red. His head flashed to eye Kiba disapprovingly, “Your not serious!! She just did this because I’m supposed to be -,” Naruto cut himself off and tried to think of something else to say. No dice.

“Your supposed to be doing what, Naruto?” Lee interjected the brunet who was about to tease and torment the blonde even more than he already had.

“Uh… that is, well,” Naruto stuttered. He really couldn’t think of anything else to say. He was lost, he’d blown his cover! But then an idea popped into his head. Distraction! “So, I got a text this morning,” He grinned widely because he knew Kiba would die for information for the news article.

“And? And?” Kiba bit down on his lip because of anxiousness. Kiba wasn’t the one to wait for a good story to reveal itself. “Well, are you going to tell us, or am I going to have to choke it out of you?” Kiba growled impatiently to the blonde who just stood three feet away grinning like there was no tomorrow.

“Well,” Naruto paused purposely to tick off the brunet even more. He chuckled, “Sakura text me, and told me that she’s going to be coming to the university next year as a student!” Naruto yelled and jumped into the air in excitement.

“Wow! This is going to be great for the next news article!” Hook line and sinker. Naruto 1, Kiba 0. Kiba was so happy about the information, that he had forgotten about the previous conversation. But Naruto didn’t know about Lee.

“Who is Sakura?” Lee asked as he glanced at Kiba who went giddy and flower eyed at the thought of the news paper being a big hit about the blonde, and his girlfriend being able to reunite after a year of being away from each other.

Naruto smiled. He got Lee too, “Sakura’s my girlfriend,” He looked at Lee. He thought Lee would be sad because he looks like one of the students who wouldn’t have a partner, but oh was he so wrong.

Lee smiled back, “That is good for you then,” The ebony haired teen held up his thumb in approval and grinned, showing most of his white teeth that sparkled in the sun.

What kind of team did Naruto just join? There was a boy who had a habit of grinning and making his teeth shine brightly, and there was another who was nosy and ate food like a dog that wasn’t fed for over two weeks, “Y-yeah,” Was his only reply. Then as Naruto was going to leave, he thought of something, “Kiba,” He called the now over active brunet.

“Yeah?” Kiba calmed himself just incase there was more information involved. He looked over at Naruto who seemed to be worrying about something.

The blonde let his head fall and eyed the ground, “You should keep in mind, that I … might … break up … with Sakura,” Naruto hesitated. He didn’t want to admit it, but he couldn’t cheat on Sakura while she was away, and couldn’t keep the blonde from doing anything.

Kiba stopped his over excited self and steadily walked back over to the blonde who held his head low and his eyes hid behind glistening blonde hair, “Why? I thought your relationship was absolute. I saw the way you treated her yesterday,” Kiba was confused. He didn’t think such a drastic thing would come up. And now the news paper article would have to change. “You were so overjoyed that you stopped in mid-sentence to sprint over to her and hug her until she couldn’t breathe.”

Naruto sighed. He’d have to think of another lie to get him out of this one, “Yeah, I know,” Disappointment filled the blondes voice as he murmured. He raised his head slightly but kept staring into the grass, “Its just that, when Sakura laid eyes on Sasuke-sensei, I knew that I wouldn’t have a chance with her anymore,” That was it, the best lie he could come up with, and yet it had faults.

“Well, you can not just give in!” Lee interjected. He held out his fist and had a determined smile scrapped across his face. “This is only love and war. I am sure that you will win fair Sakura’s heart!” That was encouraging enough, but Naruto couldn’t take to it. If he cheated on Sakura with Sasuke, and then when she came to the school, no doubt things would turn ugly, and Naruto couldn’t bear to never be with out reach of Sakura. He couldn’t live with out her.

“I’m sorry bushy-brow, but I can’t keep up the act,” Lee let his hand slip down and his smile turn to a confused frown. “Yes, I called you bushy-brow. You have amazingly huge eyebrows.
But the point is, that I won’t be able to stay in a relationship with Sakura if I know that she doesn’t have feelings for me anymore,”  Naruto let the words slip out easily. He looked to Kiba and then to Lee and nodded, telling them that there was nothing that they could do to change his mind.

Lee and Kiba glanced at each other before they both put a hand on Naruto’s shoulders, “What ever your predicament Naruto, we will be here to help you,” Lee gave the blonde a thumbs up.

“Yeah. If your ever in a bind, we’ll be there to get you out,” Kiba squeezed Naruto’s shoulder for reassurance.

After the congrats party, the team cleaned the field and headed for first period. Naruto had trouble concentrating though. He kept thinking about when he was with the raven on the jet ski, and then his mind flashed to Sakura’s face. It made him sick to his stomach to think about how he was having to give up the love of his life for a guy he just met. Sure, Naruto had no problems with guys, seeing as though he was bi, but this was different. What he felt for Sakura was real, he had just met the raven, and the Director orders him to seduce his teacher? The furry was indescribable.

During the long day, Naruto received a text from his pink haired beauty saying that she was excited for this weekend because they got to see each other for two and a half days! This made the blonde feel like he was being bathed in rapture. But then he remembered what he had to do at the end of Sunday, and it made his stomach turn.

When the bell finally sounded at 2:25, Naruto sped past all others to get to his dorm and pack for the last weekend he’d spend with the rosette. He quickly jolted to his room, took a shower, put on an orange wife beater and brown cargo pants along with white nikes. The blonde gathered up his things in his carrying book bag which hung around the blondes shoulder and along his back and chest. He swiped his card key and slipped out of the room, sprint down the hallway towards the stairs and then to the exit on the first floor.

On his way to the doors to the campus, Naruto received a text from Sakura and he just had to respond. As he typed away, he didn’t pay attention to where he was going, ran into something and fell to the floor. The blonde looked up in hopes that it wouldn’t be who he thought it was. To his pleasure, it had only been the wall beside the door. He sighed in relief. That was a close one. Naruto ran outside the doors to the docks and the boats that would take him to see his beloved.

-----

In the Director’s office, the Director herself watched as all of the students retreated to the boats. She sighed. It was the same every weekend. The kids would scramble out of the campus to the main land. But come on, the whole reason she had the school on the island is so that the students could have their privacy. Though, she guessed the students didn’t want all privacy, considering that some didn’t have their own dorms and that their partners didn’t go to this university.

As her mind ran through the many thoughts she had stored there, a knock was heard on the door, “Lady Tsunade, there is a visitor here for you,” A woman’s voice was heard from the crack of the door.

Tsunade, not leaving her place at the window, nodded, “Alright, let them in will you,” The Director ordered.

AS the woman left, a man came through the doors, “Tsunade, I’m worried about the boy,” The man simply stated. He walked closer to the woman at the windows.

Tsunade grabbed a hold of a sake bottle that was on her desk. She swung it in the air threateningly, “If you think I care about his best interest, then your sadly mistaken. Its only to stop that bastard Uchiha from controlling things here,” The blonde woman whispered angrily, still holding the bottle in the air.

The man took a step back, “D-don’t you think that’s a bit selfish?” He asked cautiously. “The boy has already given up his girlfriend for a teacher he just met, and a guy non the less.”

The Director looked at the man through her blonde hair, her hand on the bottle strengthening, “Do you think I care about that? Its not selfish if the previous Director left this job to me, rest his dead soul,” She clamed from the mention of the decease  Director.

“But, Lady Tsunade,” The man persisted. The Director raised the bottle and threw it at his head in a furious manner. The man ducked and looked at the now smashed bottle and clear liquid that covered the door. By the time he turned around, the woman had already picked up another bottle.

“Don’t tell me how to run things Jiraiya. Now excuse yourself and follow after the blonde this instant!” She shouted, making the white haired man named Jiraiya jump and make a b-line for the door. After he was out, she threw a bottle at the almost shut door, shattering the glass and letting the liquid poor out of it and onto the floor below.

----

At the docks, Naruto was talking with Kiba and waiting for the boats to arrive to take them to the main land to see they’re family, friends, and lovers. The two had been there for what seemed like an eternity before the boats arrived and the two boarded the vessel to go back, “So why isn’t bushy-brow here anyway?” Naruto asked the brunet who took liberty in sitting next to the edge of the boat and smell the ocean mist.

“He said something about staying at his boyfriends dorm,” Kiba said remembering when he met the other for lunch at the soccer field.

“Oh,” The blonde simply stated as he sat up against the railing of the boat, feeling the mist of the water hit his sleeveless arms. His knees coming into contact with his chest as he lay his head atop them. He thought about his rosette and how he’d have to break it off with her.

Kiba looked down at his friend, “It’ll be alright Naruto,” The brunet said positively as he placed a gentle hand on the blondes shoulder. “Maybe she’ll forget her feelings for our dumb teacher, and come running back to you,” He smiled reassuringly.

Naruto nodded. He knew that was a lie, even if Kiba didn’t know it. The only reason she was coming to the college is because of him. She had planned to go to another university on the main land, until she met him. The blonde closed his eyes, and the next thing he knew, the boat was docked and ready to unload its passengers. The blonde got up and looked around. ‘No sign of Kiba,’ The blonde thought as he exited the boat and began the search of his pink haired beauty.

He found her almost immediently, because one, no one else had hair quite like Sakura’s, and two, because she was his, and he knew her anywhere, “Sakura!” The blonde yelled for her.

The pink haired girl turned her head so fast she could have gotten whiplash, “Naruto!” She screamed and rushed to her lover. When they came into contact, Sakura began to cry silently.

“Its alright Sakura, I’m here,” The blonde smiled down at her. He stroked her highlighter pink hair lovingly, “Why are you crying?” He asked softly, still looking down at her.

She raised her head looking into sapphire blue eyes, and smiled, “I missed you,” She giggled and pressed her lips to his. He returned the kiss easily, passionately. He was on the verge of tears as well, to know that she missed him this great deal, and he’d have to break up with her at the end of the weekend.

“Its alright now,” He smiled at her. “Come on, stop crying,” He wiped her tears away. The blonde let go of her and looked her up and down, making her blush.

“Stop that Naruto,” She tried to hide herself in her hands as she blushed harder when Naruto began to play with her hair and bite down on her neck teasingly. “C’mon Naruto, lets go get our picture taken,” She grabbed his hand and led him away from the crowded docks, and towards town.

--------------

On their way there, Naruto and Sakura talked about they’re weeks, leaving out the fact that Naruto is supposed to be seducing his teacher now, and held each others hands lovingly.

As the two lovers made their way past an intersection, they came across an ally way where they heard yelling, and what sounded like a plastic bag. Of course they’re suspicions were soon made true as a brown headed teen lunged out of the ally way, plastic bag in hand, “Kiba?” The blonde called out.

The brunet stopped dead in his tracks. He turned on his heal and faced the shouting blonde. His eyes widened, “Hey buddy! Long time no see!” He yelled from the ally way. He ran up to the two, and stopped just before them. He looked over at the rosette, “Hey again, Sakura,” He smiled down at her.

“Hey, Kiba,” Naruto interjected his girlfriend from speaking. “Did you just get into a fight?” The blonde asked as he looked the brunet up and down, obvious the answer.

The brunet ran a hand through the hair on the back of his head, “Well, I suppose you could say that …,” He laughed nervously. “But, it wasn’t my fault! The guy in the ally way stole my chicken two years ago, and I just felt the need to return the favor,” Kiba shrugged, trying not to remember his anger.

“W-well, we need to get somewhere, see you round Kiba!” Naruto shouted as he took hold of Sakura’s hand and running off towards the mall where they would get they’re picture taken together.

Kiba turned around and watched the pair run off, “Alright Naruto! Later man!” The brunet yelled as the man he’d been beating up before crawled his way over to the unsuspecting brunet and wrapped his arms around his leg. Kiba shrieked as he looked down at the man. He thrust his leg all around, trying to shake off the leach of a man who stuck to it.

-------

Naruto and Sakura cleared the way to the mall and entered. The rosette clinging to the blondes arm and pulling him towards the first photo booth they seen. The blonde was happy to follow his pink haired lady, but when she got like this, he just couldn’t help but tease her a bit and make her earn her reward, “Naruto! Come on! Get up!” Sakura yelled at the blonde who was currently letting all of his weight fall on her shoulder.

“But Sakura! I can’t!” He lied humorously as he let more of his weight fall on her, making her tilt forwards. They were attracting so much attention, that Sakura pulled forward, making the blonde fall to the tiled floor. “Ow …,” He looked up at the now smirking rosette. “That was uncalled for…,” He said as he stood and brushed himself off.

“You making so much attention is uncalled for, but I don’t care,” She smiled and pressed her lips against his for a split second before pulling away and dragging the blonde towards the photo booth once again.

Little did the two know that a certain white haired man, watched they’re every move while they were completely unaware of his presence. He sighed. This wasn’t what he wanted for Naruto, but since the Director ordered him, he couldn’t interfere, and that was that. What ever happened was up to the blonde, and his decision.
