Fate is funny, I know it is!

Chapter 1:

The bustling school has all its students running around and conversing as the hour gets closer and closer to go home for most of the student body. Naruto reluctantly opens up his old locker as a love letter slips out onto the floor.

"God, another one!" says Naruto as he looks at it with disgrace and disgust. He notices even a kiss mark on the letter. "I'm telling you these girls are gonna be the end of me one day, I swear!" he utters out.

A few steps away, his best friend, or only friend, Sasuke, walks up to him and pats Narutos back. They are very much used to this being a daily thing. Sasuke smiles and pats Naruto even harder on the back and says, "Man, another letter?"

Naruto sighs, "Yeah, looks like it. I just don't understand these damn girls. They're so desperate! When will they learn to quit?!" he says.

Sasuke chuckles loudly while saying, "Seriously man?" Sasuke knows that Naruto is a lucky guy, most guys would kill for that kind of attention, "You can't see the benefits of being so popular with the ladies? How can you be so empty on the inside?!" Sasuke continues.

" Listen", Naruto says as he closes his locker and turns to Sasuke, "I couldn't care less of what anyone thinks about me. I just want to finish sophomore year in peace. Is that too much to ask for? Peace? God."

Sasuke doesn't and will never understand Naruto, hell, most people don't, let alone any of the student body members. He just cant wrap his head around the idea that Naruto can get any girl he wants yet he doesn't because of his indifference. "Well, I think it's nice to be in a relationship with a girl during high school. It provides a sort of cliché kind of friskiness that every love story needs", Sasuke says.

Naruto cant even muster up the strength to tell his friend off, where does he even start? Narutos come to a realization that his friend will never fully understand him. Its beyond repair, par for the course for Sasuke. "Wow" Naruto says, "You are so beyond repair, its astonishing."

Sasuke just shrugs off the comment and replies, "I dunno, just spit balling here."

Naruto bumps his head onto the locker door out of frustration causing even more love letters to fall out of his locker. "Damn locker", Naruto says annoyingly.

But of course Sasuke doesn't stop his relentlessness on the topic,"did you even take a look at any of them?" Sasuke says.

Naruto gives a stinker look and replies, "Of course not. As if."

Sasuke picks up a random letter and opens it up quickly. He pulls out a picture, "Look, its has a pic of a girl in it!" Sasuke says. "So?" Naruto snaps back.

"Its..." says Sasuke, "Its her in a bikini."

Naruto repeats, "So?"

"She's got a pretty nice rack" says Sasuke.

Naruto continues repeating, "So?"

Sasuke blushes and says, "Oh, and shes got a nice A-S-S."

"
So?" Naruto finishes saying this as Sasuke throws the picture of the scantily dressed girl onto Narutos face blocking his vision."I mean..." Naruto says, "shes aight."

This gets to Sasuke. He cant believe that Naruto remains unfazed by the awesome photo he found just piled onto a bunch of junk letters Naruto had. "Man, its incredible that you simply just do not care!" Sasuke says as they walk the halls together, "maybe I can… borrow this photo for a while?"

Naruto sees the excitement in his eyes and replies, "Knock yourself out, you can have it. I'm sure some where in that pile is a few nudes taken just for me, at least I wouldn't be surprised."

The halls get louder and louder as they get closer to the exit. Signs and clutter fill the hallways so they shimmy around as to not trip over anything. "Man!" Sasuke howls in delight, "if I were in your shoes! Oh the things I would ask girls to do for me! The possibilities are endless!"

Both of them walk outside and go on their way home. Near by, they stop at a local video game store to browse a bit. Naruto goes up to look at the action and adventure games while Sasuke looks at the eroge games and visual novels. Sasuke is still looking at some adult games when he says, "so, did you hear that there's gonna be a new girl coming to our school this Monday?"

Naruto gets really annoyed by this question, "What do you think?" Naruto asks, "I don't have my finger on the pulse of the whole school!"

Sasuke laughs loudly, "Hahaha!" he says, "Whatever, I just hope shes a hottie. We need as many hot girls in our school as we can get!"

In with all the adventure games, Naruto flips and looks through a good chunk of game titles. Naruto notices a game not in its place, upon further inspection he sees that its an eroge. He immediately goes up next to Sasuke and hands it to him, "Here you go" Naruto remarks, "this is more up your alley."

Sasuke obviously misinterprets this gesture because he takes the game from Narutos hand and replies, "Oh yeah! An eroge! Totes up my alley. Looks like its not out of the question for you too though! That's why you don't like girls, you're too busy infatuating yourself with virtual ones!"

Naruto laughs at the idea and says, "Ha, that's freaking gross man."

Sasuke shrugs it off, "I'm stating a real possibility here" he says.

The both finish off their visit of the game store buying a few used games. They step outside and notice that its getting dark. Sasuke looks at his watch and freaks out, "Sorry man! I need to go bro. Its dark and I'm not too fond of the dark. Ghosts are more likely to come out around this time. I'll see you in school, okay?" he says then runs towards his home while waving Naruto goodbye from a distance.

Naruto shakes his head and says to himself, "God he drives me insane."

The path continues as Naruto strolls along a very familiar way to get to his place. From a distance he overlooks and sees a girl looking around in confusion. She keeps turning her head and walking around in disorientation, or at least, that's what Naruto could perceive. He wasn't for sure at what the girl was doing because the warmth and strength of the glistening sun on her body only made her silhouette visible to his eyes from where he was standing.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, there is a neighborhood watch in this area", Naruto says, but almost as soon as the words flow out of his mouth the girl turns around. And almost, at least in Narutos eyes, the black silhouette turns from a mere fragment into a beautiful young lady. The sun blinded him but the girl helped recuperate his vision.

The girl goes up to Naruto and he notices her body, average at best, but stellar for Naruto. The closer she got to him the more his heart skipped beats. She finally replies, "Oh, sir. Sorry to bother you, but do you know where the Rose View Apartments are?"
