I have been wanting to do a story like this for a very long time, now. As a way to get out of my comfort zone. I don't usually do stories like this, but I figure I would try. I hope you all enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. It belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I am, in no way, making money off of this story.
Warnings: Lots of gayness abound! Seriously, if you don't like Yaoi, please calmly leave. Lots of sexual stuff and sexual stuff with a minor. Drug and alcohol usage, bullying is wrong, but it happens her. Yakuza are scary mo-foe's!
UPDATE: I fixed up some spelling errors, added a little more details to the OC that appears and re-wrote some sentences that didn't make a lot of sense.
--[Sumire and Shinku]--
10,000 ryo.
10,000 ryo is all I have in Gama-chan. It is the allowance that Jiji gives me; its suppose to be money I can spend for myself. So any money for my orphan stipend can go into buying food, clothes and other important things. 10,000 ryo is all I have, while the 300,000 ryo stipend is once again not delivered to my run-down apartments mailbox. I have to live off 10,000 ryo again for the next month…
Which is impossible, because the rent for my little apartment seems to suddenly cost that much, according to the landlord.
'What…what am I gonna do?' I thought, sullenly. I walk the Akasen I live in, trying to figure out my money troubles. I…I don't know what to do…I can't ask Jiji to stop whatever the office is doing, because I know they'll just start again, after waiting just long enough. If I ask for more money, its just gonna be the same problem in the end…
I. ..I don't know what to do…

As the young blonde haired, blue eyed boy, wearing a very eye catching orange jumpsuit, walked down the street, he spotted a surprisingly fancy building, decorated in dark violet, with black highlights; there was crimson and gold flowers part of the decor as well. The boy stared at it with a glazed over look, knowing exactly what this place was, while reading the very fancy sign:
'Sumire Yakata'
'These places…get a lot of money…right?' the boy simply thought, while starting to take a few steps towards the building. 'Maybe…they'll let me at least help clean…if…if not…'
The boy snapped out of his thoughts, as the door to the place suddenly opened, and a very pretty…woman? No, it was a very pretty man, suddenly walked out of the building, dressed in a very expensive looking kimono…and had the obi tied around to the front. This snapped the boy out of his trance and he actually looked shocked that the thoughts he had previous in his mind even came. He turned away from the building, and started to jog towards the exit of the Akasen, needing to head to the Academy. He needed a distraction for his money troubles, and maybe paying attention to Iruka's lecture today might be possible. Unknown to the boy, the pretty man saw him looking at his establishment before, knowing very well what that look on his face was. He use to have it, at one point, before.
The look of someone who didn't know what to do now.

"Naruto, can I speak to you?"
The boy, known as Naruto, looked up at Iruka in surprise, hearing the soft concern in his voice. He noticed that everyone was already leaving for lunch. 'When did…that happen?' He thought in surprise, as he nodded to his sensei. Unfortunately, his mind still wandered to his current money troubles, so he didn't hear a word of the lecture today. "What did you need, Iruka-Sensei?" Naruto asked, confused by the worried look on the man's face. Why was he worried? Shouldn't he be upset that he didn't listen to his lesson again?
"I…just want to make sure your okay" Iruka stated, still sounding worried, "You…seemed to have something important on your mind, today."
"Oh, I…" Naruto stammered, "I'm fine. I just, someone almost broke in my apartment not too long ago. I was just trying to think of what kind of traps I could set around my place, without getting into too much trouble, since its a civilian building…" He wasn't exactly lying, either. Iruka just didn't need to know that he already took care of that problem already, though. Iruka nodded in understanding and looked rather pleased that at least Naruto was thinking of some kind of ninja thing, while ignoring his lecture today, "Well, if you still need help with that, you can come talk to me whenever, alright?" Naruto smiled, while replying, "Okay. Thanks, Iruka-Sensei!"
For the rest of the day, Naruto did his best to listen to Iruka. He didn't want to worry him about his money troubles. He knew he would try and pay them himself and Naruto knew that he really only had enough money for himself.

Naruto walked out of the academy at the end of the day, no closer to solving his money problem, sadly. It seemed he would have to go hungry for an entire month at this point. Looking up, he noticed that everyone seemed to be staring at something in confusion or wariness. Following their line of sight, he became shocked; it was the man that he saw coming from that building before. They had a sharp, but slightly rounded face, with light skin and violet eyes. They had long black hair, that was tied up in a ponytail, with golden hair pins, with what looked like red and purple jewels; the black bangs, which were dyed purple on the bottom half, covered the man's right eye, while his left one, which had a small curve of black make up under it, was left exposed.
They wore a expensive looking, dark violet furisode kimono, with a crimson nagajuban, that opened just enough to show a bit of they're light-skinned chest and lower-legs and white tabi socks and black geisha geta sandals; a silver anklet, with a small golden bell was around his ankle. The kimono had flowers, white decals and flower petal designs, over the left side, the sode and bottom of the kimono. The obi around the man's waist was a dark blue color, with black swirl decals and was tied in the front, in a simple bow; the obijime around the obi was a dark crimson color, with little crimson jewels hanging from it. To seem to top off the man's outfit was a necklace, with black string and two crimson diamond-shaped jewels, a small golden bell earring on his left ear and the gold and black smoking pipe, that had a simple crimson flower decal on it. The man seemed to be waiting for someone, staring at the building with interest, while calmly smoking his pipe. Naruto had no idea why this man was here, but he shrugged and just began walking out of the Academy and towards the Akasen. However, the man started to walk towards him, making Naruto realize that he was the one the man was waiting for.
Feeling nervous now, Naruto was about to speed up a bit, but the man was already walking beside him, still calmly smoking his pipe. Though, Naruto knew, regardless of how calm he was acting, he knew the man was prepared to stop him in anyway, necessary. Just so he could take what little money Naruto had, and there was nothing the boy could do about it; he might be stronger than a normal civilian, but this man was clearly no normal civilian. So, resigning to his fate, he silently followed the directions the man steered him in. He was surprised, though, that the man led him to a fancy tea shop, directing them to a very private booth. Ah, but Naruto knew it wouldn't last, soon; places like this always chased him away, once the figured out he was here. Sure enough, a male server was coming to their booth, with an angry scowl on his face, "Hey! You and that fil-!"
Suddenly, a big massive killing intent filled the tea house, making Naruto shiver in fear, while the male server looked very close to pissing himself; and the other people, civilians and shinobi, looked at their booth in shock. The pretty man, had a cold, calm mask on his face, though you could tell that he promised death, if the man uttered another, scathing or rude word to them, "Please bring us some green tea, yakitori, and higashi, good sir" the man spoke politely, but you could tell that he would have no problem gutting you, if his demands were not met. The male server quickly nodded, and bolted towards the kitchen to get their order. Only when he was gone, did the man stop leaking such intense killing intent, (though it didn't seem to matter, as everyone was very wary of the man now), and calmly put out his pipe, seeming to follow the sign that prohibited smoking indoors. Naruto had this suspicion that this man could easily get away with it, regardless. The man suddenly looked at him and he became all nervous again. Was this man going use this setting to quietly rob Naruto? Or was he going to try and gain his trust, just use him for his own-?
"Calm down, gaki. I can practically hear your thoughts" the man said, Naruto noticing how smooth it came out, no deep baritone to this mans voice, "If you want something else to eat here, go ahead and order it. You look like you haven't eaten in a few days."
Naruto didn't think too hard on how this man knew this, so he just worried about his other problem, "I…I don't really have much ryo to pay you back for-"
"Everything is on me, kid. Don't worry about it" The man calmly reassured, giving Naruto a soft smile. Naruto looked surprised at this, but stayed a bit on guard, even though he responded with a shaky, "O-ok…" They sat in silence for about 15 minutes, before a different server, a female, came back with their order. She calmly placed the food and drinks on the table; however, as she turned to leave, she gave Naruto a scathing sneer, making Naruto flinch. It wasn't too long after said flinch, that the female server yelped in pain, as the man grabbed her right wrist painfully, and made her look at him, the cold mask back on his face, somehow not leakinghis killing intent inside the tea house, but putting it all in the calm, but very cold look he gave the server girl.
"Listen here, you little bitch" he whispered to her, only Naruto being able to hear him, "I don't care very fuckin' much for ya attitude towards my associate. Tell whoever is in charge that if they don't stop sending us servers that can't seem to stay professional, this place will BURN to the ground. Understood?"
The server girl nodded, terrified, and quickly bolted to the back, to deliver the dangerous man's message. Naruto was now slightly terrified on what this man wanted from him, but all he got was a genuine kind small from said man and a gesture for him to eat up and to let him know if there was anything else he would like to order. Naruto nodded, picking up a stick of yakitori and taking a big bite out of one of the skewered pieces-and couldn't help the small moan that came from him, (slightly blushing at the man's quiet laughter at his reaction); it has been awhile since he had actual food, and not the…stuff he had to get from some store dumpsters that he could sneak through. After eating though their first order, and ordering some more yakitori, (it seems the manager took the mans threat to heart, as this particular male server just did his job, with no sneers or rude comments towards the young boy), Naruto finally introduced himself, and asked a very import question:
"My name's Uzumaki Naruto, dattebayo. May I ask…who you are and…why your being so nice to me?" As that last part came out all quiet and shy, the man smiled genuinely, and calmly replied"
"My name is Kaii Kuro. I own that establishment you were in front of this morning, the Sumire Yakata, and I would like to make you an offer."
