A/N: Here's the first installment of "Only In Fiction" on . I've actually written this for DA, and have a terrible habit of forgotten to update this site and because of it, I'm no longer writing the old fanfictions on here, however, I want to put this up here for fans here to read, since some of you guys don't own DA accounts. I'm only posting this one up though, since the other two are too far along to post up here. I might, depends on what I feel like doing. Anyways, here's the first chapter of Only In Fiction. I should be updating this soon, so please be patient.

ENJOY!


Chapter One


It was around two o'clock in the afternoon on a beautiful, warm summers day when Uzumaki Naruto, the spiky blonde haired teenager stood in front of the lavish two story "mansion", twitching with both annoyance and hate at the owner who occupied the building. Of course, there was a perfectly good reason for him to be here, since the last few days of school had landed him here, in front of his language's teacher…Uchiha-sensei.

Better know as…the demon teacher!

Was he scared of this teacher? Well, that was a ridiculous question to ask since it was obvious he was and just like every other student who attended his language class. Of course, outside school, he worked with elder students who sometimes came onto the school grounds to see him and had claimed that Uchiha-sensei was actually a nice—and possibly odd—person. You just needed to…get to know him.

That's the last thing on his mind. Befriending his sensei would kill him; however, here he was, going to spend nearly four days a week in his sensei's place for "extra" lessons since he had carelessly failed the last two terms.

Of course, he would soon be starting his final year, but the Principle had said that if he had gone for private, outside school lessons with his sensei and improved, he would not have to repeat the year. He did leap at the chance since he did not was to be stuck back in eleventh year for another year! So, it was more his fault—aka, failing language, leaping at the idea—than it was his sensei who had ruthlessly accepted and organized his free time…which was equaled to four days a week which were Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Those were going to be the days where he would spend three hours a day studying under his sensei's careful and watchful eye.

However, Naruto had seen a bright outcome in this!

His sensei was very hard and would push him to his limits, dump him with tons of "homework" where he would have to get done as soon as possible, mainly Wednesday homework since he would be back at Uchiha-sensei's place the next day, but in the end, he would have done enough to satisfy his sensei and then he would not be kept behind.

With all that in mind, one would be utterly confused on what to do. He was not sure if he should ring the door bell, or walk in so he stood there confused for a long moment before he reached for the door bell and pressed it and waited.

The voices he heard moment ago stopped and there was a noise before the door opened and Naruto found him face to face with his sensei. The man standing in front of him open the door and said in his low voice "come in, Uzumaki-kun," before he stepped away from the door and walked back to the couch where a woman sat.

Shutting the door after him, Naruto looked around the even more lavish house and almost whistled at it's neatness besides the piles of paper on the table in front of him. Once eying the papers, he looked at the woman who was carefully reading through the papers, nodding at times and maybe even smiling every now and then.

His sensei looked at him for a moment and said "I'll be with you in a moment, so if you want to sit down, you can."

Well, he had gotten the impression his sensei liked leaving his guest standing but he was not sure what he wanted to do. Seeing the arm chair, he plopped down in and looked around before his eyes fell on the large stack of paper on the table.

Everyone knew about Uchiha-sensei's other job, which was an author of course, and it was quite common to see him indulging in this other job at school. He always sat in that normal seat in the library, typing out his story on his laptop. Sometimes when Naruto went in the library, he always had one peek of Uchiha-sensei's shoulder to read what he was typing, and he began to wonder if this was the recent one he had been writing in the library?

The woman finally placed the paper down and smiled at him. "Another fantastic job, Sasuke-kun-" Naruto almost fell when he heard his sensei's first name spoken for one of the first times in his life "-and yet again, you've amazed me with the story."

Uchiha-sensei leaned back in his chair and smiled softly. That too shocked Naruto, seeing his teacher actually smile! "Ah, but you know I only do that to impress you, Sakura-san."

The woman waved her hand, "don't lie, Sasuke-kun. You're not doing writing for the purpose of impressing me."

"But I am trying to surprise you."

"Which you do so well," she laughed before standing and picking up the papers. "It should not take to long dealing with this," she said, looking up at him. "I pray you're starting on the next one?"

Uchiha-sensei frowned—very common for Uchiha's you see—before shaking his head. "I've got to help my student here," he directed to Naruto "before I can start on the next one. However, it will be done on time."

"Like always."

"Like always," he agreed before he showed the woman out.

Naruto sat there awkwardly, not sure on what to do. It was the first time being in this kind of environment so he was not quite sure what to be expected of. He knew he had to be somewhat polite since he was in someone else's place, but what was else expected of him…he was not quite sure of.

"Uzumaki," the voice startled Naruto, though it was not harsh or anything, it was just close.

"Y-Yes!" He cried, jumping to his feet and spun around to his sensei.

His sensei started at him before shrugging it off. "Can you please get your work out that I gave you at the end of the semester, so we can begin?"

"Ah, yes," he sat back down and fumbled through his bag for his book that had his work in as well as his gear he was going to need.

"Do you want anything to drink? I have soda in the fridge."

"Um…"

"You don't need to feel out of place Uzumaki," was the voice amused? Naruto was not sure, but he glanced at his sensei that politely had his back turned away from him.

"I-I know I shouldn't sir, it's just…um…"

"Strange?" he asked, turning to face him and slamming the fridge close. "That's understandable since all the student's who've come for private lessons have felt the same." He looked at his hand and rose it for Naruto to see. "Soda?"

Should he say yes? Naruto just nodded and thanked his sensei when he handed him the cold can of soda before he sat down on his right. "I've done what you asked me to do," Naruto said, opening his book. "If you'd like to check it."

Uchiha-sensei nodded and took the book when Naruto handed it, before pulling out his pen in his pocket to check. It defiantly strange to see his sensei so relaxed that it made Naruto somewhat very nervous. He looked so calm and comfortable slouching in the couch. Seemed at peace while he scanned his work, circling mistakes. It was making it hard for Naruto to see the sensei he knew at school and the man sitting in the chair here. Were they the same person…or was it an impostor?

Naruto shook his head lightly. Was he an idiot or something? If anyone looked like Uchiha-sensei, it would be amazing. Uchiha-sensei was one of a kind. Tall, handsome, and mysterious, and all down, a girls dream. What added to the man was the hint of seduction in his voice when he spoke in that low, calm voice that tended to have a hint of ice in it when he was annoyed or angry. His dark eyes seemed to sparkle in an odd way, but it did not matter what light you sat in, they were as black as the abyss. His hair, which was normally so neat, was slightly tussle, as if saying he had either just arisen from bed or hand been running his hands through carelessly, making the hair mess, yet still neat in some ways.

It was scary to think that girls could actually like him since he was very much a scary man. Of course, that was Naruto first and up-most impression of his sensei. Yet, here he was, looking so damn relaxed and settled that it was unnerving him.

And the way he flirted lightly with that woman…that too had shocked Naruto. They seemed to be real good friends, and he swore he was never like that around any teachers at school. So seeing him in like was also a surprise.

Then it slowly hit him. Was that woman his editor? If she was, well damn, she was bloody good looking. "Don't think about it."

Naruto jumped and looked at his sensei. How long had the man sat there and watched him as he dazed off? "P-Pardon?"

"About Haruno-san. I saw the way you were looking at her and I tell you, don't think about it." He was…smiling…eeep! He handed Naruto's book back. "She may look beautiful but she's a demon inside," he said calmly, his smile growing lightly. Damn it, he had to be mocking Naruto, that was the only way to explain it.

"B-But she seemed nice."

"She is…when she wants to be."

That did not sound good. "You make her sound evil."

"I guess I do," Uchiha-sensei gave himself a questioning look before shrugging. "However, she never given me that side before, but I have witness it before, and quite frankly, you don't want to get involved with her. Besides, she's ten years older than you."

So that made her twenty-seven…which was also sensei's age Naruto calculated in his mind. A really…pretty twenty-seven year old.

"Anyways," Uchiha-sensei's voice startled Naruto slightly. "I've looked through you're work, and circled through the areas I would like you to redo," he tapped the book on the table. "I would like you to start now, Uzumaki."

Naruto nodded and plopped himself on the floor so he work. He looked at it and frowned at one particular area before saying "did I do this wrong, sensei?" he pointed at the section.

Uchiha-sensei leaned forward and looked at it. "Not completely, you had the right idea, but I'd like to you to redo it." he leaned back and after a moment said, "haven't you used a dictionary before Uzumaki? Because it seems like you don't."

Naruto flinched and growled at the insult and mutter "how can you find a word you don't even know how to spell?"

His sensei started at him puzzled for a long moment before chuckling. "Same attitude," he said quietly before standing up. "I'll go get you a dictionary" and bolted from the room before Naruto could question what "same attitude" meant.


Naruto collapsed, groaning from the headache growing in his head. He finished, finally, after four hours—an hour over what was planned—and he was finally finished. It seemed to amuse his sensei by his action as he grinned and announced finishing his work before he collapsed there on the floor. He watched Uchiha-sensei as he carefully picked up his work and scanned it, tapping his red pen.

Sitting up, Naruto watched him, watching for any sign of a mistake or an error in his work when he soon noted his sensei was not going to give anything away. He frowned before he asked, "Where's your bathroom, sensei?"

His sensei looked up and pointed towards the corridor. "First on the left," he said before returning to look at his work.

Retreating, Naruto found the bathroom and almost hissed with annoyance but went to do his business all the same. It was still amazing him about how neat his sensei's house was. Of course, he had always known the man was neat and clean—expect when it came to his office at school—but he never imagined that his house was this clean

After finishing what he went to do, he washed his hands and stared at the large mirror and frowned. How could one man keep such a huge house so clean in the first place? Did he have a housekeeper of something? Not that it would surprise him if he did, since it seemed the man did.

He waltzed out and back to where his sensei was waiting when he noticed the woman coming in the house. His heart almost went a flutter when he saw her and noted very carefully…that was Hyuuga-sensei's sister! (1)

Watching his sensei who arose to talk to her, he noted something strange. He was very touchy, touchy with her, brushing away a strand of hair on her face, running his hand over her shoulders and kissing her lightly on the forehead and began to feel very, very annoyed.

He had met Hyuuga-sensei's sister a few times when she had come to see her brother at school, her only being a year or two older than him and his friends. She was a lovely girl, always stuttering in speech, always blushing wildly like she was now, and being very shy and if dared say, very, very cute.

Did Naruto like her? She was not exactly his type, but he had found her very adorable and kind-hearted. However, he did feel very jealous at the moment. Did this mean that she was very close to Uchiha-sensei or something, or was it something…else? "Ah, Uzumaki," Uchiha-sensei said, stepping back and shoving his hands in his pockets. "I've looked through your work. There are a few mistakes you can clear up and then you can leave."

Hyuuga-sensei's sister blushed when she noticed him and smiled shyly at him. "H-Hello, U-Uzumaki-kun."

Not sure if he could hide the jealously in his voice, he nodded to her and smiled before doing exactly as he was told. He did he best to ignore their conversation, which they had been polite and was talking quietly so he could do his work, but he could still hear them. He was absolutely sure Uchiha-sensei was flirting, and come on, he saw the way he touched her, and it was obvious he was flirting with another…sensei's…sister.

He wondered if Hyuuga-sensei knew of this intimacy going on between his sister and his fellow teacher. Unless Hyuuga-sensei knew and approved of it…which would be horrible. How could they face each other if…?

Shaking his head to rid of the thoughts, Naruto stared at his work and began to frown. Why the hell was he jealous in the first place? Hyuuga-sensei's sister had a right to do what she wanted and when she wanted whether it involved Uchiha-sensei or not. He had no right stepping into their personal life or anything…

But why was he so damn jealous?

"Well thank you for your visit, Hinata-san. I'll keep that in mind." Naruto looked up to the window and could see he was touching her lightly her face again. He narrowed his eyes, watching the way she turned away from the touch, going red again. Damn she was cute.

"O-Ok," she said, turning back and smiling at him. "I-I'll see you soon, S-Sasuke-kun."

"I look forward to it," he replied politely, and thankfully, did not touch her again.

"G-Good bye, U-Uzumaki-kun," she said, making Naruto turn around and smile at her before she turned away and disappeared out the door, with Uchiha-sensei closing the door behind her.

Watching Uchiha-sensei for moment, Naruto turned back to his work, ignoring the way his hand clenched around the pen. Asshole, he thought darkly, clenching the pen more. Bastard!

"Do you enjoy fraternizing in such a manner with a fellow sensei's sister?" Naruto hissed and realised all too late that Uchiha-sensei was close enough to hear him.

"Does that bother you, Uzumaki-kun?" Uchiha-sensei asked, sitting back down on the couch, looking rather annoyed.

"You were all over her!" Naruto snapped, feeling very frustrated. "She's a fellow sensei's sister for god's sake."

"And?"

"DOES IT FAZE YOU THAT IT'S WRONG?" Naruto roared, jumping to his feet. He realised all too late that he was the one wrong when Uchiha-sensei smirked at him, rather pleased with this outburst. Bastard! Naruto sat back down and stared at his work, ignoring Uchiha-sensei.

"And how is it wrong, Uzumaki-kun?" He asked politely, despite the fact he found it rather amusing.

"Well…" Naruto chewed the end of his pen. How was it wrong anyways. Ah, damn! He walked into that one.

"I take you're silence being you don't know and take into account that you're just jealous."

Naruto's teeth shattered the pen end and he turned to glare at his sensei who carelessly looked out the window, smirking at his proud victory. Damn teachers thinking they are know it alls!

As Naruto turned back to his work, his sensei spoke again. "So lets say it is wrong and what I am doing is immoral, what would you do about it? Admit you're undying love to her?" he was defiantly amused. "Is that wrong, Uzumaki? Or are you in the right position to do just that?"

"I…" Naruto bit his lip, frowning. He had a point, since there was nothing he could do to stop them from doing anything and in fact, he was just acting childishly over the whole situation. He stared at his work and announced, "I'm finished so I'm going home."

Uchiha-sensei chuckled and said under his breath "afraid to admit the truth."

Before he could say any more, Naruto growled, "I'm not afraid to admit the truth!"

"Then you're saying you have no answer, are you Uzumaki?"

Naruto swallowed and took a deep breath. Calm down, he's just being an ass and is working you up. "I'm not saying that either."

"Then if you have an answer, why not share it?"

"Maybe it's because I don't want to," Naruto snapped back.

"Or maybe you're lying about having an answer."

Naruto could just see him strangling his sensei who sat them, calmly, smirking at him, amused over the whole thing.

"What is the real reason you're worked up, Uzumaki?"

Naruto looked away and gave that a thought. "I don't know."

"You don't…know?"

"I just see it being wrong because she's a fellow sensei's sister."

"Hinata-san maybe be Neji-senpai's sister, but that means nothing since it's a well known fact that Neji-senpai has approved of us already."

…Meaning they were engaged…or worse…

Naruto paled and looked at Sasuke.

Oh shit. "YOU'RE ENGAGED?" He cried, jumping from the chair.

"Ah, you see it now, Uzumaki," he chuckled but shook his head. "We're not engaged, Uzumaki. I've known her since she was little, so I've grown a strong bond with her."

"That's why you flirt?" Naruto hissed.

"Why, would you prefer me to flirt with her brother instead?"

Why did that just sound sick? "O-Of course not!" Naruto spluttered. "T-That's wrong! Very wrong since you're both-"

"Guys?"

Naruto stared at Uchiha-sensei.

Uchiha-sensei smirked back.

"Are you sane?" Naruto asked slowly.

Uchiha-sensei shrugged. "I could possibly be insane, but we don't know for sure."

The ass was defiantly mocking! Naruto growled darkly, glaring at him. "Are. You. Mocking. Me?"

The smirk widening was the only answer he needed.

Trembling with anger, Naruto turned away and began to pack his back, cursing under his breath. How the hell was he going to survive coming here four days a week and putting up with this shit all day, every day? How was he going to survive being mocked, tormented, teased by his sensei who seemed to care little for him.

Growing up, he had been mocked and teased. He had been shunned and turned away. He had been alone while people like him had a family to love and be loved by. Had friends to talk to, had colleagues who helped him when he needed that help.

It was greedy bastards like Uchiha-sensei he hated the most!

"Uzumaki?"

"What?" Naruto snapped, then felt bad by the look Uchiha-sensei gave him.

Of course, after a moment, Uchiha-sensei shrugged it off. "Hinata-san brought some cake over, and since I'm not a big fan of sweet thing, I was wondering if you'd like to take it home with you."

Why was he being nice now? Naruto felt confused. "Didn't she give it to you?"

Uchiha-sensei snorted. "She didn't give it to me. She brought it over since she knew you were coming here. It was a kind gesture and since she was sure I was not going to be a kind enough host, she insisted she would bake something for you to have while you are here. She even insisted for you to take it home and got angry when I pointed out wouldn't it be better for it to be kept here for when you came over. Then she had pointed out that it was better for you to take it home since she was sure it would get eaten then. So naturally, I was not going to argue with her."

Naruto blinked. "She brought it over…for me?"

"Of course," Uchiha-sensei rolled his eyes before smirking. "And if you kindly decline, then I'll kick you're ass since not only will I be dealing with a very frustrated Hinata-san, I'll be dealing with her brother since it would be "my fault" is what they will call it for not "offering" it to you to take home and therefore, upsetting Hinata-san."

Naruto eyed him for a moment and debated whether getting his ass kick was enough just to see him go through the torment Hyuuga-sensei was going to give over the cake and decided against it because he did not want to upset Hinata-san so said "ok…I guess…"

Seeing Uchiha-sensei sigh with relief was actually amusing since it was seemed like, from Uchiha-sensei position, that he had just come off a battleground without having to spill any blood. He moved away moments later to pick up the white box and approached handing it to Naruto. "It's strawberry cake. It's one of her best cakes she makes, so appreciate it."

Of course he would, since it was made by Hinata-san. He nodded and bid a farewell to his sensei before fleeing the house. For some reason, he felt like Uchiha-sensei was doing those things to rile him up…

Why the hell would he want to rile him up in the first place?

It took him another long moment to realise…Uchiha-sensei had not set any work for him to do.

What the hell…?


(1) Yes, Hinata is Neji's sister in this lol. Why? Well, I could not be bother changing it haha.
