One...two... three minutes... Indeed, time seemed to pass slower when watching the clock tic away, but the second's pointer still gave the opposite impression, running away in the same direction. Yawning. Lifting his arms up, he stretched.The sun outside almost gone and only one conclusion left. Exhaustion. Naruto had helped to clean up the house the whole day, and even so, Iruka was the least pleased. Not that the help was really voluntary, but more like a grounding for the pranks of the youngster.
Flash back / 9:30 PM, last night/
Iruka was seating on the sofa, wavinghimself with the journal he had just finished reading, while his feet were tucked in a bucket full of water, to cool down the heat of summer. Persistent knocks on the front door made Iruka a bit irritated, already guessing the special occasion. He slided his fingers through his wrinkled forehead, trying to get away from the oncoming headache.
"Umino Iruka, we have a little present for you." A smothered voice on the other side, rough with a hint of familiarity only made the pain worse.Iruka let out a wicked grin, full of malice and grudge before opening the bamboo door, and facing policeman Ibiki, with his sadistic smile. He hold out on one of his hands the collar shirt of a young blond, who was a bit ashamed, trying to pay up the whole situation by bearing his teeth in his most trademark adorable smile.HA! He wished that was enough.
"Hehe, hello there." Naruto scratched the back of his head before he got a slap on the same side. He stumbled over a bit before noticing. The boy got mad but soon gave a step towards Iruka, fearing the cop. Behind Ibiki, Anko waved to Iruka from the patrol car, parked in front of the house.
"He was destructing public propriety. Graffiti all over the walls of the city hall with drawings and sayings like " The mayor is a drunka-" Before Ibiki could finish, Anko was at his side, elbowing him. Weird, he never did hear the car's door open.
"But it's true!" Another slap in the head and the blond calmed his gaze, looking down even though he was angry for being interrupted in the act.
"Naruto!!" Turning to the cops, Iruka thanked both." Thanks for letting this one slide Ibiki, he doesn't have much limits. Sorry about that." He laughed a bit ashamed and scratched the nape of his head, something the boy also did before. A nervous thing both did, nobody knew who started. Iruka put his hands over Naruto's shoulder, directing him to come inside.
"Next time I won't go easy on you, boy" Ibiki declared, meanwhile Naruto widened his eyes, startled by the scarface man. Anko winked to the blond, only startling the boy even more. Getting in the household, Naruto had already break through Iruka's grasp, his hands folded behind his head and a lazy appearance, he tried to make it to the second floor, whistling and praying that he could make it without eye contact. But it was late. He stopped on the third step, before reaching the stairs.
"Naruuutoooo..." The voice had a dark atmosphere to it and didn't resemble at all the nice man. The assassin aura warned Naruto that it was time to run for his own life.
"AAAH...I GOTTA...I..." Even though he was particularly cautious about the visual contact, he saw venom gleam through the older'eyes.
"Holy shi-" And that started a persecution around the house, that truly ended with an exhausted Iruka kneeled down to the grass, panting heavy, and a Naruto not so tired, stuck on the roof by his own choice, with a wodden ladder by his side.
"No-No...ahh...no ramen..." Iruka struggled.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Naruto screamed, watching Iruka's antics but not quite believing it. At least, he didn't want to.
"No ramen...for a week." Iruka finished in between panting before hearing more protests, getting up on his feet and walking with the couch in mind. Naruto knew it wouldn't be a smart move to climb down the roof yet, but he did make Iruka hear every and single one of the most possible lame reasons in a pretty high pitch.
"NOOO,IRUKAA!!! I can explain, that was ART!!! Those bastards don't see it, but you know, to begin with it was all a scam to get me, they did it once, they can do it twice!"
"..."
"IruUKAAAA!!!" Naruto insisted without much success in the whining, which should piss the neighbours off, seeing that he didn't have any sense about his high pitched whine power. Before he could continue with the dramatics, from lack of sight due to roof tiles, he just caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a pillow and a blanket. A heavy thud.
"Good night, Naruto." Iruka said, from inside the house. Naruto watched the grass stunned.
"HOY,Iruka.IrUUUKAAA.Funny,he?" He scratched the side of his nose, an amused expression gracing his features. Only the crickets answering. " He must be joking."After half an hour of whines, a pan flew over the backyard, thanks to the insane old lady next door whom appreciated a good night of sleep. Naruto gave up, pulling his knees up to a tight hugh, nearly crying, remembering the cruel words.
"No...ramen. Iruka sensei meanie."
End of flash backxxxxx
He still remembered that morning, while entering the house, Iruka smiled to Naruto with a devious glint in his eyes.
"No ramen and a complete cleaning of the house starting from... NOW!" He kept the sweet smile but the voice wasn't the same. Naruto didn't have much time to think, a drool path by the side of his mouth and wet grass all over his clothes. He had given up on the blankie after he find out Kyubbi, his own clone of Garfield, had peed on it earlier. "Gotta be him. Iruka sure as hell wouldn't." A mop in the left hand and a pillow hung on the other, and the retarded look of sleepness still gave off signs. Another slap in the back of the head and the blond shruged, before shaking a bit, trying to wake up a few neurons.
"Ouch, damn it! Didn't need that one!" Iruka took a bite from a toast and waved to Naruto.
"I'm going shopping, this kitchen better be dazzling when I come back. Bye!" He could almost grasp Iruka's happiness in the air. Naruto squeezed the mop a little harder, trying to concentrate his hatred in the misfortuned object. The mop, if alive, would be begging for his quiet and peaceful life back without any complains for the miserable one or he would be fearless and impassive because,nonetheless he was a freakin' mop. Naruto sighed and gave up on his anger, concentrating only in the task ahead. "Wee, Vacation" Swinging his arms in the air lazily, full of sarcasm, before wrinkling his face, fixing his gaze on the kitchen that waited for him and therefore, tripping on the cat, whom stood invisible on the floor. It took the oportunity to fly off the living room's window, escaping the boy's fury. Lifting his head to take in the view, he figured the cat was already long gone. "Stupid cat..." The mop still in hands, body pressed against the cold ceramic floor. And with that, his vacation begun, he remembered, now seven pm in the evening. The anger and fatigue were catching up to him.
"Narutooo, dinner!" The blue eyes widened at the mention of food. Naruto hurried himself from the chair, leaving his desk behind, running down to the kitchen. Iruka had prepared a pose with his arms crossed above his chest, trying to keep the coolness and serious face for the teenager that made himself be heard with loud steps on the second floor. When blue eyes landed on the table that stood right behind his guardian, he felt a wave of happiness overfload him, making his eyes water. He jumped on the body in front of him, hugging it.
"Eeh, Naruto, calm down, this doesn't mean I forgive you, okay?" Iruka tried to keep up his composure and also his balance (he wasn't a boy anymore, was he?), but a smile faltered in his face.
" I KNEW IT! I knew you wouldn't deny me ramen!" Naruto said, kneeled in front of the older, holding him still. The big grin reminded Iruka of a child, and like always, Naruto was pointing his flaws and weakness towards him.
"Even after twenty rides with the police patrol in less than a month..." He sighed." I have limits too, Naruto."He frowned, expecting to sound a bit more harsh and convincing.
"But...But... it's ramen. It's a sin to deny me rameeeen." He now attempted his crying face, trying to hit Iruka's motherhen side. Iruka freed one of his arms to scratch the scar of his nose, closing his eyes and after a few seconds fluttering them open again, while the other hand patted the blond hair now next to his ear, now that Naruto stood up, hugging Iruka. He was glad his plan had worked.
"You were damn lucky, you know that huh? You know how Kabuto is crazy about getting you arrested for one night. You're lucky enough he wasn't on patrol those nights" ..."Yeah...and twenty nights...that's more than luck" Iruka concluded to himself, fearing the irresponsability of the boy. Naruto ignored it, moving to the table, having already left the embrace.
"And when Tsunade finds out about the graffiti..." Naruto paused in an attempt to chew( no, he never chewed his ramen, so behold the rare moment) to think (yes, indeed, TRULY RARE). The old hag would definitely be pissed when she finded out about his work of "art" but knowing her, he would also guess that she wouldn't take any harsh measures. He also remembered that the graffiti was just an answer from a previous argument, when Tsunade had called him a brat in front of others, making him look like a clown (not that this was rare). Naruto wasn't the kind that enjoyed vengeance but he was quite proud of his work, a grin on his face just from the picture left in his mind. It probably was already gone, erased. He paused to mourn it. Meanwhile, Iruka noticed the blond'smile, swallowing the ramen, deep in thought. The phone rang, waking Naruto from his dazed state. He frowned while Iruka made a gesture for him to pick up the phone. The one that interfered with his meal should die.
"Hoy, who's this?" Naruto skip the introduction part not caring about being polite also.
"Naruto?" The voice in the other end seemed calm.
"Hm?"
"This is Gaara. We are here." Naruto smiled to the wall in front of him. After a few minutes, he hung up. Iruka asked who was it. He was curious. The blond never get many calls.
"Gaara." He smiled while pronouncing it, getting up from the table once he was done, taking a pair of sandals and running up to the front door.
"Bye Iruka"
"Hey, Naruto, WAIT!" Too late, the door swinging open and shut until it stopped completely.
Iruka pulled down his barrette and sighed. He knew that Gaara, a close friend of Naruto, was going to pay a visit but he didn't go further into the subject mainly because the blond wouldn't budge. He looked around and noticed Kyubbi watching the scene. He swore he had seen he cat smirk, but with a shrug, Iruka ignored the cat and got up to clean up the table.
Dark strands of hair lined up the vision. " Another gas station." Uchiha Sasuke, more than bored, looked for something to entertain him long enough. Inuzuka Kiba had taken the seat beside him more for pleasure of his teacher Hatake Kakashi and mental torture to himself. Kakashi wouldn't let Kiba seat in the front after he had disputed ten bucks with Kankuro over a bottle.
"IDOUBTIT" Turned over to the side of Kiba and Shino, Kankuro holded the bottle with money in the other hand.
"Just gimme the god damn coffee, you crossdresser!" A vein pulsed on Kankuro's temple along with the purple make up.
"WHAT, you sonofabitch, Now you're going to swallow the whole bottle, animal lover!!!"
Shikamaru sighed "Troublesome" under his breath while Kiba stole the ten bucks and the bottle in a swift move. Open bottle, dodging Kankuro's fists and a couple of swallows .Then running to the bathroom door in the end of the aisle and shutting himself there.

Five minutes after, Kiba tried to be an airplane, buzzing and running in the empty aisle, running and tripping after a funny guy planted a foot in front of him. (Sasuke seemed the least suspicious if it wasn´t for a light smirk on his face). But now the pale boy wasn't satisfied. Kiba had already lost half the energy after a few more hours of buzzing and shouting and now he was completely spent by his side. And snoring. And drooling.
He even tried to cuddle but Sasuke shoved and elbow right across his face without even sparing a glance.
Sasuke turned his face and noticed a wooden board approaching "Finally" . He thought of that but he wasn't exactly pleased with the trip. That was blackmail anyway.

Flash back n°1 /Eriol School, last Thursday/
"Yo, Sasuke kun" After the whole class left, Sasuke still packed his messenger bag, not too happy to be alone with his History teacher.
"Hn" Sasuke turned his face to Kakashi, underneath that odd mask, a visible smirk. At least it looked like one.
"I saw that your name isn't on the list of students that decided to go to Konoha on vacation."
"And?"
"I put your name on it." He smiled. Sasuke threw him one of his death glares.
"Not going."
"You should be more sociable, Sasuke kun, Itachi wouldn't like to know that you keep yourself away from the other students in a dark corner moping and avoiding contact." Kakashi looked like he was having a good time saying the obvious out loud.
"I don't wanna go. I don't like the sun. I hate the beach." He was ready to leave now.
"A bit of sunshine wouldn't hurt you , either. Vitamin c... Imagine, two weeks with girls in bikinis... or boys in swimsuits...whatever floats your boat." Sasuke seemed like he ignored the last sentence.
"And Itachi doesn't have anything to do with it." A gleam on the only visible eye of Kakashi.
"Oh Really?" Kakashi paused, a hand holding his chin, the other holding his elbow, an amused look. The whole picture screamed danger. Sasuke felt a shiver cursing through his body and dashed out of the room while he had time, leaving Kakashi behind. Indeed...He was smiling.

Flash Back n°2 /Uchiha's house, Friday night/
"Brother..." Said Itachi, na indifferent look towards the younger that sat on the bed, staring at the ceiling after a constructive reading.
"What?" Sasuke didn't stop staring to the ceiling, but he noticed his brother was acting weird. Something was up. Itachi turned around, about to leave his sight from the corner of his eyes. But he paused before doing so, turning his head on Sasuke's direction and a creepy smile plastered on his face.
"I already packed your things." So that's why he couldn't find his boxers. He thought it was laundry day or something like it.
"What?" Sasuke stood the upper part of his body with his elbows. By now, Itachi had disappeared in the hallway. Sasuke ran.
"WHAT?!?I'M NOT GOING!NO WAY!" Sasuke screamed to his brother, before he could reach the stairs. Itachi turned once again, the same creepy smile.
"Yes, you are." Itachi looked psycho now. His eyes widening, still, the fucking creepy smile. Sasuke just took a step back." And in case you don't behave yourself, I took the liberty to share with Kakashi mom's tapes of you in kindergarten" The smile only got wider after the statement. Sasuke felt he had been back stabbed.
"H-HOW could you do THAT to me?!!!? Putting those kind of things in the hands of a pervert..."His voice was shaky. Sasuke kneeled down the carpet, bangs hiding his face, his palms stuck to the floor. Suddenly, he was over it, the drama was gone, and got up, cleaning with one hand his black pjs pants, and going straight back to his room.
"Whatever, not going." He concluded before closing his door and blasting the room with My Chemical Romance.
"But, little brother..." A hand dramatically waited the return of the lost brother. Itachi's features weren't psycho anymore. More like pained. But he restrained himself and paced over to Sasuke's door. He knocked. Sasuke ignored. After a few minutes, the music still loud, Sasuke heard the magical words. A normal human being would never be able to hear it. Sasuke's eyes widened. No. He wouldn't. But Itachi never lied. He ran to the door, opening it, only to find a happy homicidal Itachi.
"You wouldn't dare." But again, Itachi never lied.
"Tee-Hee!" The maniac gaze and the smile equally threaning danced on his brother's face. Defeated, Sasuke went to pleading( Yes, he does that when no one is watching)
"Bu-But...they are going to the BEACH!!!" Sasuke said like the idea already was insane itself.
"Vitamin C would be good for you, little brother" Itachi started his way back to his room. Sasuke closed the door screaming.
"BUT YOU'RE PAYING IT!!" Itachi walked seeming satisfied.
End of Flash Back

Two days later, Itachi waited his brother in the kitchen, his normal black jeans and his dark blue long sleeved shirt but with a pinky and frilly apron over it, a doughnut with arms wide open and the sayings "EAT ME" were welcoming Sasuke.
"Good morning little brother!" Itachi's good mood was creeping Sasuke out. What was wrong with him? Had his brother gone back in gambling? Was he doped? But when he looked that way, Itachi had been a bit more happy just to try to cheer him up. At least he tried. Itachi bounced on his feet in Sasuke's direction like an excited cow, with his lunch in a bag and his suitcase. He was pushed against his will until they were on pavement, Itachi waving while shoving him in the bus. He just noticed he was already on the bus when Itachi began to disappear in the view line, waving. They were moving. He could understand why his brother was so excited to this trip, maybe Itachi was trying to get rid of him or, he was just trying to distract him, get himself together, getting him out of the bubble he had gotten himself into over one year and a half ago, after their parent's death. Sasuke knew he was doing it for his sake. Or he was expecting it to be. Coming out from his deliriums, Sasuke saw the city's entrance.
"Welcome to Konoha, kids." Kakashi got up without caring they were still moving. Some woke up, others stopped their card games, one his reading. Kakashi took the opportunity to smack his orange covered book on Maito Gai's head to wake him up.
"HOY,HOY, YOUTH!!!" Gai raised and smiled to his students.
"Weirdo" Temari whispered, not low enough. Gai coughed to clean up his throath, ignoring the girl.
"THIS IS IT, CHILDREN!! Let's feel the warmth of the beach and run through the sand of Konoha for the next two weeks!!" He was beyond enthusiasm. It would be contagious if his smile didn't blind them. Some yawned.
"That, that, and we'll go out and have fun and truth be told, you can do whatever, as long as there are no alcohol and as long as I don't know about alcohol. Just not for you, Lee." Kakashi pointed to a buggy eyed kid, inocent looking. "NO drinking near Rock Lee, you hear children?"He paused to stare at them. All nodded applying to the only rule.
"And you must know, that since no parents were able to be with us as guardians, one of them will be Temari, the eldest of the Sabaku family, since she's over twenty one. Obey her." Temari stood up in her seat on her knees, to face down each one of her victims." You will ALL be mine..." She grinned. Most everyone shrunk down on their seats.
"Or not..." Kakashi turned around and sat, waving to everybody.
"Enjoy your stay." From the other side of the aisle, Gaara turned on his cellphone, dialing a very familiar number.
