Naruto sighed, the end of the school day was always the worse. Not only did he have to go home, he had to be alone. His parents had to go out of town on a business trip for two weeks, and during that time he had to take care of himself. He liked being alone, but could only take so much of it. Luckily he didn't live very far from the school so he could walk home. He had asked his boyfriend Kiba if he could come stay with him until his parents got back but Kiba had to work and wasn't sure if he could get it off or not. Kenta continued to walk for another twenty minutes before getting home. Naruto lived in a gated community in a five bedroom, three bath house. Which was odd, due him being an only child and just living with his two parents. After getting home he plopped down on the couch with a coke and turned on the TV. The rest of the day was rather uneventful.
When it was time for bed Kiba called him like he did every night. The two of them lived in different cities, about four hours from each other so they didn't get to see each other except on birthdays and other Holidays.
"Hey Naruto, how you doing? Bored you?" Kiba chuckled.
"Yes! It's driving me crazy, and I have to live through two weeks of this, and its winter break so I'm home for a week and a half of that."
"Well, I thought you didn't like school?" Naruto sighed.
"I do like school, just not when it's not fun. At school at least I have the teachers to talk to."
"Yeah, I guess that makes sense." Naruto got up and walked into the kitchen.
"So what are you up to? How was work?" Kiba moaned.
"It was a pain, first this chick tried to return an item she had bought six months ago, and wouldn't take no for an answer, so my manager had to get involved which meant I got into trouble for bugging him."
"Then this family of like seven people came into the store and decided it was fun race carts down the aisles." Naruto shook his head.
"Well, glad I don't have to work there, or anyway." Kiba laughed.
"I think you would like working if you had the right job, it keeps you busy, then again your only seventeen, not many places will hire a junior in high school other than fast food places." Naruto sighed.
"Well babe, I have to get going, I need to be up early tomorrow, boss has me traveling somewhere at six am."
"Awe." Naruto pouted.
"It's okay, if everything goes okay, I'll call you tomorrow on my lunch break and we can talk some more then."
"Okay, well I love you and I'll talk with you tomorrow." Kiba said.
"Love you two." Naruto said hanging up the phone, glancing at the clock he sighed and went over to this bedroom getting into bed hoping the night would go by fast.
Naruto woke up when he heard something in the kitchen, getting out of his bed shaking Naruto slowly opened the door a crack to look what was going on. The kitchen light was on, even though he was sure he had turned it off. Walking out to the kitchen he turned off the light and then went back to bed, closing his door behind him. The next time Naruto woke up was because of the smoke alarms going off, he opened his eyes looking around the room in a panic. Reaching towards the door handle of his room when his hands made contact with it, they instantly started to burn. Naruto quickly removed his hand with a shocked and panicked look he slowly backed up, grabbed his phone from the nightstand and then made his way to the window, opening the window he jumped out. Running to the front of the house he looked up in horror. There was smoke coming from the entire first floor. Naruto heard sirens off in the distance. One of Naruto's neighbors ran over and saw Naruto standing on the grass.
"Hey Naruto!" Hinata yelled. Naruto looked back and saw Hinata.
"Glad you're okay! I saw a group of people looking around your house and wasn't sure what they were up to." Naruto unable to saw anything just stood there looking at Hinata and then back at the house. When the fire department arrived one of the firemen walked over to the two teenagers.
"Did you guys see anything?" Hinata nodded.
''I saw what looked like five people looking around the outside of the house, wasn't sure what was going on so I called the station and they told me was low priority for this area and to contact them again if something happened. The firemen nodded.
"How about you, son did you maybe see any faces?" Naruto just stood there looking at the house. Hinata shook her head.
"I don't think he saw anyone, he lives here at this house, his parents had to go somewhere for a week or so." The firemen nodded.
"Hinata! You get your ass back inside!" Hinata's father yelled. Hinata sighed.
"Sorry Naruto, I have to go back inside, my dick of a dad is calling me." Naruto looked at Hinata and then back at the house. Hinata ran back over to her house.
"I don't want you spending time with that boy, he is a bad influence on you." Hinata looked at her father.
"Do you not see his house!?" Hinata's father chuckled.
"Oh come on, the brat probably did that on purpose to get even with his parents for leaving town." Hinata looked at her father with an enraged face. Before he could say another word she ran back inside the house.
One of the firemen walked back over to Naruto who was now sitting on a curb.
"Hey, is there anyone we can call or somewhere you can stay tonight?" Naruto shook his head.
"The only place I could probably stay is with my friend Kiba, but he lives just outside of Capital City 150 miles north of here. The firemen nodded walking back over to his boss. Naruto took out his phone and dialed Kiba's number. The phone rang three times before Kiba answered.
"Naruto, by talking to you tomorrow I meant when it's light out." Kiba laughed lightly until he heard Naruto crying.
"Naruto you okay? Do I have to come and beat some bitch up?" Naruto continued to cry for several minutes until he finally spoke.
"It's my house, it..." Was all Naruto could get out. Kiba frowned.
"Naruto, what's going on?"
"My... My house, it's... gone!" Naruto balled his eyes out. Kiba couldn't believe what he was hearing. Part of him wanted to believe that it was just Naruto joking, but knowing Naruto he wouldn't joke about something like that. There were a few minutes of silence from Kiba's end while Naruto continued to cry.
"Okay, Naruto here is what we are going to do. Can you go down to the police station and wait there till I get there?"
"I... I thought you had to work in the morning?" Kiba laughed.
"Naruto, I don't care if I have to work, I've told you this before that if you ever need me, just give me a call and I will figure something out." Naruto continued to cry.
"Okay, I'll go wait there." Hearing Naruto cry like this was breaking his heart.
"Oh, and Naruto?" Kiba spoke in a caring town.
"Y... Yeah?" Naruto bit his lip.
"Everything will be alright, I'll be there in a couple hours." Naruto nodded and hung up the phone.
It had been four hours since Naruto talked with Kiba on the phone. Naruto was now at the police station. The cops were kind enough to give him a ride down there, but now he was cold and hungry. Naruto continued to wait and another hour passed and another. Naruto sighed and got up and walked over to the door and looked out. Not seeing Kiba Naruto started to cry again. Naruto decided to text Kiba and ask where he was. Not seeing anyone Naruto sighed and walked back to his sit, sitting back down Naruto looked around the room for a couple minutes and then his phone rang. Naruto quickly opened up his phone and frowned.
"Hey Mom, how are you?" Naruto tried not to cry.
"I'm fine dear, I'm worried about you, we got a call from the police." Naruto sighed.
"Yeah, I'm not sure what happend, our neighbor Hinata said she saw a group of people looking around our house but couldn't tell who it was."
"I see, well unfortunately we can't make it back until next week, do you have somewhere to stay?" Naruto nodded, even though she couldn't see it.
"Yeah, I'm going to be staying with a friend." Naruto's mom smiled.
"Okay, well I hope everything goes alright, we will call you when we get back in town."
"Thanks." Naruto spoke ending the call, looking down at the floor Naruto started to cry again. He continued to look down at the floor until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Naruto looked up, soon jumping up and wrapping his arms around Kiba.
"Hey!" Naruto yelled Kiba laughed.
"Hey, you doing alright?" Naruto lightly smiled.
"I'm doing okay, it's still just hard to think about." Kiba nodded.
"Well, it's like midnight and due to wrecks on the highway we have about a five hour drive to get back to my place." Naruto frowned.
"I'm sorry."
