To Love a Demon

Chapter one: The Shocker


"Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit." The frog alarm clock started going berserk as the time to which it was set appeared. A tan hand reached up, grabbed the frog and chucked it at the wall. The owner of the hand rolled over-and fell right out of bed. The thud was heard throughout the empty apartment. Suddenly a knock resounded through the house.

"Naruto! It's Sakura. You awake?" a voice called through the front door.

The said boy groaned and pulled himself up off the floor.

"Be there in a sec!" the groggy boy called. He pulled on a shirt, not caring that it clung to his lean form, only that it was orange. After pulling on a pair of baggy black pants, he walked to the door, opened it and quickly stepped out, shutting the door behind him.

"Hey, Sakura-chan." Said Naruto plastering a smile on his whiskered face.

"Uhh…. What's with the new clothes?" asked Sakura looking at the clingy shirt.

"Well, my jumper got shredded on our last mission, if you remember, so Iruka-sensei bought me some new clothes."

"Oh." Stated a rather dazed Sakura at the kind-of lengthy explanation. Snapping back to reality, she told Naruto that they were meeting up with Sasuke and going to eat breakfast with Kakashi and Iruka.

"Why?" asked Naruto, looking slightly puzzled.

"Why what?"

"Why is Iruka-sensei coming?" explained Naruto, rolling his cerulean eyes.

"I don't know. We'll find out when we get there."

"Yeah, I guess we will. Lets go."

"Okay."

They met up with Sasuke, who couldn't stop staring at Naruto's new clothing and went to a restaurant that Naruto had never been let into. The said boy stopped a couple of feet away from the door. Sakura walked right in without noticing her companions hesitation. Sasuke, however, noticed and stopped right beside the boy.

"What's wrong, dobe?" asked the dark haired teen.

"I can't go in there. The owners won't let me." Muttered Naruto averting his eyes from the piercing gaze of his companion, "tell Iruka I'll just wait outside."

Sasuke looked harder at his friend before sighing in what he wanted to sound like agitation, but ended up sounding like sympathy.

"Come on, dobe. As long as you're with me, nobody will bother you."

"You promise?" questioned Naruto shyly looking up at the dark haired teen.

"What do you mean promise?" a light blush staining Sasuke's cheeks.

"Never mind." Muttered Naruto turning his head away before bringing it back up and smiling at the other boy, his mask back in place, "Let's get inside. Sakura's probably wondering where we are."

Sasuke gave him one more piercing gaze before nodding and walking into the restaurant, Naruto following suit. The owner started to protest and Naruto flinched and looked at the floor. Sasuke saw this and gave the owner a fierce glare, before grabbing Naruto's hand and dragging him to a table in the corner of the room where the rest of the group sat. He pulled a chair out, motioning for Naruto to sit. The boy sat obediently and Sasuke took a seat next to him.

Kakashi looked at the two for a minute, Naruto averting his gaze with his face tinted red, and Sasuke trying hard to keep his emotionless mask in place. A smirk graced Kakashi's masked mouth before he motioned for Iruka to begin speaking.

"The reason we called you guys here was because there was some important news we thought you should know."

"And that is?" asked Sakura looking closely at her old Sensei.

Iruka smiled and replied: "Kakashi has a neice."
