Sasuke's Ramen Story
A/N: I got this idea from reading some other fan fictions. Everyone seems to write Naruto with the most problems. That's where this story came from. There will be OOC-ness, I'm sure. Deal with it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters. This will most likely be rated M or T because I'm planning to have violence.
I'd say enjoy, but this is going to be sad…

Chapter 1: The Arrival Home
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Numbly walking through town, Sasuke heard the mumblings of passers-by. He understood what was said, but it didn't fully register in his mind. Things like 'So, he is the only one left?' or 'The youngest Uchiha, the poor boy.' Sasuke didn't care, he just wanted to go to his new home.
When Sasuke was officially released from the medical center after his shoulder healed, the Third Hokage gave him keys to a new apartment building. He also informed Sasuke that Iruka-sensei would have a spare just in case. Sasuke didn't care about Iruka having extra keys, all he cared about was not having to sleep where his parents were murdered.
Sasuke unlocked his door and entered, it was a small house, a kitchen and dining area in one room, a bedroom, a bathroom, a lounge, and a small foyer. Sasuke took of his shoes and put on his slippers. Then he took off his wet rain jacket. It seemed to have rained a lot in the past few days.
After his jacket was hung up, Sasuke went to look at the furniture the Third had mentioned. It was nice, but simple. Dark blue mostly, Sasuke liked that. He sat on his couch and broke down into tears almost immediately. He missed his mother so much.
Sasuke had cried for almost an hour when he didn't really feel right. He was the last Uchiha alive, besides his cold-hearted brother. He couldn't sit around and cry.
Sasuke got up and got a drink of water to calm himself down. Sasuke also washed his face. After that he grabbed his school bag and a bag full of cookies that Sakura and Ino had given him. He turned on a light and sat down to catch up on his schoolwork and to have a dinner consisting of the cookies, an apple and a soda.
Sasuke had got about a quarter of his schoolwork done by eight o'clock that evening. He figured he would take the next day off school just to finish catching up. He went to get ready for bed, then realized his pyjamas and clothes were at his old house. By the time he realized this his drawer was already open, and to his surprise there were a pair of pyjamas in there with a note attached. The note read:
Dear Sasuke,
It's Naruto. I heard you were moving in next door to me. I asked Iruka-sensei why and he told me. He also told me all your stuff is at your old house.
Here are some extra clothes I had. They were all too big anyway. You are taller than me, so I thought they would fit you. The p-js are really comfy cause I got a smaller pair just like em and they're my favourite! There is also two outfits in the closet. One for tomorrow (Friday) and one for Saturday. Iruka-sensei said he would take you to get more clothes too.
Don't be too sad, okay?
From Naruto
Sasuke allowed himself to smile at that.
When he put the pyjamas on, they were a perfect fit, and really comfy like Naruto said. Sasuke slipped into his new bed.
Finally he could sleep, and hopefully feel rested the next day. He was ready to just fall asleep, but he was haunted by his brothers sadistic grin and the screams of his parents whenever he closed his eyes. Instead of sleeping the little Uchiha glided out of bed. He grabbed another soda from the already stocked fridge and settled down on the couch to watch TV. He hoped this would get his mind off these disturbing thoughts.
After ten minutes of channel changing Sasuke found something he deemed worthy of watching. It wasn't the news or most wanted stations that had Itachi's face plastered everywhere. It wasn't some thought provoking or educational show either. It was a show he and his mother watched the last time Sasuke had gotten sick. He remembered that memory so well…
'Mom, I don't feel good.' Sasuke had whined, 'My head hurts, and I think I have a fever…'
'Well, Sasuke, you were out so late last night. When you came inside you didn't take off your snow soaked clothes.' Mrs.Uchiha cooed to her little boy, 'But if you really don't feel good, just stay home with mommy.'
Sasuke nodded and let his mother take care of him.
About half way through the day, Sasuke felt a little better, so his mother let him out of his room. Sasuke wanted to watch television with his mother. She sat on the couch and let Sasuke curl up beside her. They turned on the TV and found a silly little show that had little animal characters that talked to each other.
Sasuke and his mother watched that all afternoon until his father got home. Sasuke loved it because his mother would imitate the characters and just gave all her attention to Sasuke.
When Sasuke stopped reminiscing on the memory, he realized he was crying again. At that point Sasuke didn't care if he was being strong or not, he just wanted to be a normal happy family again. He grabbed a blanket and laid down on the couch to watch the show. A short while later he had fallen asleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Sasuke awoke the television was still on the channel with that show still playing. It was now ten o'clock in the morning according to the vcr clock. He pushed himself up and off the couch and took the blanket back to his room. He quickly got changed and brushed his teeth. He went into the kitchen cupboards and found his favourite sugary cereal, he really needs to thank Iruka-sensei and the Third Hokage. He poured a bowl and ate quickly.
When he finished he washed all the dishes used since the night before and put them all away, with the aid of a chair. Sasuke thought that he should eat more healthy food so he could grow faster and not need a chair, but ultimately decided he like his sugar flake cereal better.
He opened a window to let the breeze in before the rain started again. He then sat down and finished the last three quarters of his homework before lunch.
Sasuke decided to go out for lunch. He cleaned up, brushed his hair, and grabbed his money. Then he closed the window and went outside to lock the door.
As he was locking his door he saw someone open the door next to him. It was Naruto who had obviously snuck out of class again with Chouji to get extra money for lunch at the ramen shop.
Naruto also noticed Sasuke and promptly stuck out his hand in a greeting, "Hey Sasuke! How are you?" Then he noticed Sasuke had some money clenched in his one fist. "Are you going out for lunch too? Chouji and I were going to the ramen shop, wanna come?"
Sasuke answered by saying, " I'm fine for someone in this situation. Nah, I think I might buy a sandwich and go eat in the forest." He turned to leave and quickly added, " Thanks for the letter and the clothes.", allowed a small smile and left.
When Sasuke got to the ground floor and exited the building, he turned and looked up to see his new home. His was the second window to the left on the third, and top, floor. He allowed another small smile and welcomed himself home.

A/N: So far not terribly sad. This is my third fan fiction. I kind of borrowed the
"and welcomed himself home" part from Neon Genesis Evangelion (which I have watched, but sadly do not own either).
I would love to hear comments, suggestions, tips and hints to make this better. I really wanted to make this chapter longer and possibly write a second chapter, but my writers block from 'Sunny Suna' seem to have carried from that story to my profile to this. Sorry!
I also know all my stories so far have been Naruto based, I will hopefully write a Full Metal Alchemist one soon. But like I said I have a contagious form of writers block!
R&R please!
