Here's a quick short story I'll be working on for a while, to take a break from my main story "Konohigh". It's set in modern times and not in whatever time period Naruto takes place.


The door of apartment 506 creaked open; an eye looked down the hall to see if anyone was there. When the coast was clear a girl stepped out of the apartment and walked down the hallway. She was about 17 years old, had long lavender hair that reached down to her waist. She had flawless white skin and wore an extra large white t-shirt and had on blue sweatpants.

Today…today I'll finally drop the letter. She thought as she held the sealed letter in her hands. She decided to run down to the end of the hallway to apartment 512. When she stood before it, her hands began to shake. She gulped and set the letter down on the floor. She heard footsteps coming from inside, and she about faced and ran back to her apartment, only to find it locked. She looked back and saw the door open.

A blonde boy with spiky hair, blue eyes and whisker like marks on his cheeks stood in the doorway. He was wearing baggy shorts and a black t-shirt. He yawned and scratched his hair; he had clearly just woken up.

Oh god! The girl jumped behind a potted plant. Why is Naruto up so early? He doesn't get out until noon at least. She took a peek to see if he had picked up the letter, and he had.

"What's this?" Naruto picked up the envelope. "To Naruto…weird." He ripped it open and looked inside. "Is this a joke? There's nothing in here." He threw the envelope in the trash and knocked on the door next door. "Yo old man, breakfast is ready. You need to start learning how to cook for yourself!"

"Just give me a minute!" A voice yelled back.

"Fine." Naruto went back into his apartment and shut the door.

The girl reached inside her pocket and found the folded up letter that was supposed to be inside the envelope. She smacked her forehead and walked back to her door and knocked.

"Good morning Hinata." An old man of about 50 got out of the apartment next to Naruto's. He had long white hair tied back, and was in a business suit. "Locked out?"

"Yes…I thought I heard someone outside and it closed behind me." She lied.

"You can come in here for breakfast. I'm sure Minato and Kushina wouldn't mind." He turned the knob on Naruto's apartment.

Hinata's cheeks turned ten shades of red as she thought about going inside the house of her crush. Just then the door opened. "Looks like I don't have to, bye Jiraiya." She said as she went back inside. "Thank you Hanabi." She thanked her little sister, who was still half asleep.

She waved and fell back asleep on the couch.

Hinata went into her room and threw herself on her bed. "Almost….How could I forget to put the letter in it?" She ripped the letter into pieces and scattered it on the floor. She rolled to her side looking at the wall. "In a way, I'm kind of relieved. But it's been almost 10 years since he moved in here…I haven't said one word to him, and he doesn't even notice me." She stood sat up and looked over to her desk where a stack of papers all over. "All those letters…and I haven't even gave him a single one. I'm such a loser." Her stomach began to grumble, so she went back outside to the kitchen and poured herself a bowl of Frosted Flakes. She sat down and ate her breakfast in silence. Her left hand was on the table and was holding her head up. Then she heard a knock on the door.

Hanabi let out a grumble and rolled in her sleep.

Hinata stood up and answered the door. Letting out a small gasp when she saw who was there.

Naruto stood there with a small cup in hand. He let out a small laugh. "Mind if I borrow a cup of sugar?" He asked waving the cup in the air. 'The old man next door I should ask you." He said with a sheepish smile on his face.


It's a little short but I hope you enjoyed it. I'll continue this story for a few more chapters.

Remember to review lol.
