This is one of my new stories that I have been typing up. In this one the characters already know each other so they won't be introduced like my other ones.
There was a teenager named Naruto Uzumaki that lived in a small town of Konoha. He felt suffocated and he felt like he couldn't succeed in his dreams of being a famous musician. So when he graduated high-school and turned eighteen he left the village and set out to succeed his dreams leaving everyone he knows behind, all his friends and family. One person in particular that was extremely upset about his departure was his best friend, Sasuke Uchiha.
(Flashback)
"Naruto, what do you mean you're leaving? What about college?" the raven said.
"Sasuke I am sorry but you know I can't do this anymore. I need to get out of this village." The blonde said to his best friend while packing.
"Come on idiot at least give it a try. You told me we would leave this village together now your bailing on me." Sasuke said.
"I never said you couldn't come I just said that I have to leave today." Naruto said stopping his packing.
"You know I have to go to college and you act like you can't wait a few more years on leaving. I told you that already." Sasuke said raising his voice.
Naruto's family is more than likely listening to them now.
Naruto completely stopped moving to look at his friend for eighteen years of his life.
"What do you expect from me Sasuke you want me to go to college when I feel like it's a waste of time for me?" Naruto said raising his voice also and not caring that his parents and sister were listening to them.
"You just want to be an idiot all your life huh?" Sasuke said in a bitter tone.
"If you know how I feel already why ask?" Naruto said and continued packing.
There was silence for a while. Then all of a sudden you heard a choke like someone was about to cry and then you heard a slam of the door and there went Sasuke straight out the house.
(End of Flashback)
(5 years later)
"I can't believe I am coming back after this long." Naruto whispered to himself in his train seat.
The train was coming to a stop and he pulled his stuff out from under his seat and started to get out. Naruto hasn't been home since he was eighteen. He didn't tell anyone he was coming so he didn't expect anyone to be waiting for him at his train stop. Naruto started walking to his family house in the better part of the village.
"I wonder how everyone's been." Naruto wondered out loud. The only people he talked to after he left were his family all the friends he had were pissed about him leaving, so no one talked to him. A select few kept talking to him through Facebook but it wasn't much contact, it was mainly them like his songs and his stuff that he posts. But they never talked to him.
(Flashback)
"Why?" the bubble gum girl asked Naruto.
"I just can't be here anymore Sakura." Naruto explained at the train station with some of their other friends.
"I am pissed that you think leaving is better than being with us." Kiba complained.
"It's troublesome to keep in contact with you over the phone and through internet. So just stay here with us." Shikamaru said not wanting his other best friend to go so far away. Shikamaru hung out with Naruto and Sasuke whenever he wasn't with his other best friend of their group Choji he was close to them so he knew why Sasuke wasn't there saying goodbye.
"Come on you guys know I can't be in this village anymore." Naruto said to his friends.
Kiba huffed and walked away from them without saying anything else.
"Kiba," Naruto called out and got flipped off.
"Kiba is pissed right now Naruto. He thinks your bailing on us which you are. We were all going to go on a road trip together and spend our college years together." Sakura said in a sad voice.
That's when another one of their friends came up to him. "Naruto, I don't like the fact that your leaving but please be safe" she said and gave him a hug.
"Thanks Ino," Naruto said and hugged her back.
They all started giving him a hug and walking off. The last one left standing there was Shikamaru.
"Sasuke not coming?" Naruto asked in a sad voice.
"He said he didn't know a Naruto when I asked him if he was going to say goodbye." Shikamaru paused and left an awkward silence for them. "Are you really going to leave?" Shikamaru asked lowering his head.
"Yes," Naruto said and gave Shikamaru a hug and walked on the train.
(End Flashback)
Naruto finally got to his family's home and knocked on the door. It was his older sister to answer the door.
"Naruto?" Kuruma said in a low voice. Naruto nodded. "Oh my god, why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Kuruma said as she pulled him in for a hug.
They started walking toward the living room when they heard their mother.
"Naruto, my baby boy!" their mother screamed and ran up to him.
"Hey mom," Naruto said as he hugged his mother.
"Why didn't you tell us you were coming?" their mother asked.
"I just asked him that too mother." Kuruma said.
"I wanted it to be a surprise." Naruto said flatly.
"Well it's good to see you. Have you spoken to any of your friends since you been here?" their mother asked.
"I got off the train and came here immediately so no." Naruto said and looked around. "Where's dad?" Naruto asked his mother and sister.
"He's at work right now sweety," their mother said sweetly.
"Don't tell him I am here. I want him to be surprised when he walks in the door." Naruto said.
They both nodded. Naruto and his dad were extremely close aside from Sasuke his dad was the first person to know about his dream to be in a band and sing. His dad was the reason his mom didn't argue with him about leaving the village.
"Kuruma, don't you have your own place now?" Naruto asked.
"Yes I do," Kuruma said as she stuck out her tongue.
"Then why are you here big sister?" Naruto said in way that she believed he thought she was lying.
"I was visiting mom. Do you want to see it?" Kuruma asked rolling her eyes.
"Yes I do. But maybe later. Do you think I can just rest for a while I am rather tired from the train ride?" Naruto asked.
"Okay but mom turned your room into dad's study so you will have to sleep on the cot in the basement." Kuruma answered for her mom.
"That's fine," Naruto said and walked to the basement.
"I will wake you up when we are about to eat honey." His mother said as he walked to the basement.
Kuruma on the other hand followed her baby brother.
"SO, you really haven't talked to anyone?" Kuruma asked.
"I tried but no one would talk to me." Naruto said sitting on the cot in the basement. The basement held all his stuff from his room now.
"Why didn't you come visit? We haven't seen you in five years." Kuruma said sitting next to Naruto.
"I wanted to. But every time I was going to it was around someone's birthday or a holiday and no one wanted to talk to me no matter how hard I tried." Naruto said laying down but leaving room for his sister to lay down too and that's exactly what she did.
"You know Itachi told me Sasuke took it really hard when you left." Kuruma said softly.
"He's the one that doesn't want to talk to me at all. I tried calling him. My number is blocked from his cell phone and on my last day here Shika told me that he said he didn't know a Naruto." Naruto said sadly thinking of the memory.
"He just cares for you a lot and he felt betrayed that you left him behind. Hell even all your other friends felt that way and they weren't all that close to you like Sasuke. It's not like he said stay forever he just said to stay until college graduation." Kuruma said knowing how Sasuke felt.
"You know I didn't want to leave him behind but I couldn't be here anymore." Naruto stated his case.
"Naruto, I am not lecturing you about your decision to leave because I think it helped you build who you are today but you hurt everyone you left behind. Me being one of those people." Kuruma said softly.
"I know," Naruto said and hugged his sister.
They heard the door open upstairs and heard the voice it was. Naruto never expected the voice it was Itachi Uchiha.
"What's Itachi doing here?" Naruto asked Kuruma.
"Well I have been in a relationship with him since last year." Kuruma said blushing.
"WHAT! And you didn't think to tell me this?" Naruto said in loud but quiet matter.
"I wanted to but I didn't want it to be over the phone." Kuruma said as she bit her lip.
"Kuruma come upstairs, Itachi is here." Their mother called from upstairs.
Kuruma got up and Naruto followed. When she got in view of her boyfriend she ran up to him and gave him a kiss. Itachi was clearly happy to see her too. He gave her a kiss back. Naruto came into view and for the first time in five years he saw a familiar face that wasn't his family.
"Holy shit Naruto," Itachi said in a tone that said he couldn't believe was in the kitchen. Naruto once again nodded. "How have you been?" Itachi asked.
"I have been okay." Naruto said in a monotone voice. He didn't like the fact that he was seeing his best friend's brother instead of him.
"Does anyone know you're here?" Itachi asked.
"No," Naruto said sitting on the chair next to the couch.
"It was a surprise visit Tachi." Kuruma said.
"How long do you plan on staying?" Itachi asked what the two woman in the room couldn't since he got in the door.
Before he could answer though someone came in the door. Before he got into view Naruto knew it was his father because he was talking.
"Honey I'm home. Hi Itachi and Kuruma." His father walked into the living room and dropped everything that was in his hands when he saw Naruto.
"Oh my god my boy is back." His father screamed and ran to him. "Boy it's been five years. So you must have done it if your back after all this time." His father said not looking at anyone else accept his son that was now hugging him.
"Yeah I did it," Naruto said smiling at his dad.
"That's good," his father said and looked at everyone. "So, what's for dinner?" his dad asked with his arm around Naruto.
"Hi honey," his mother said and gave him a kiss.
"Hi dad," Kuruma said from her seat next to Itachi.
"Hi Minato," Itachi said.
"I was thinking ramen for dinner since Naruto is back." His mother said and that made him and his dad smile. Naruto and his dad had an obsession with ramen. They both nodded and that's when his mother walked to the kitchen to make it.
"I am going to help my mother," Kuruma said giving Itachi a kiss and running off.
Naruto's father pulled Naruto to the couch and sat in between Itachi and Naruto, he had his arms around both of them.
"My boys," Minato said.
Naruto and Itachi looked at each other and shrugged.
"So, Naruto how long do you plan on staying?" Itachi asked again.
"He plans on staying permanently but going back from time to time." Minato answered for him. Naruto nodded at his father's response.
"What do you mean by that?" Itachi asked.
"I am a solo artist now. Now from time to time I have to go up to perform in certain places and do my records. Where they need me I go." Naruto explained. "Dad, I will talk to you more later. I want to get some sleep." Naruto said getting up.
"Naruto," Itachi called out to him.
"Yeah?" Naruto asked and turned around to look at him.
"Does anyone know?" Itachi paused, "do you want anyone to know you here?" Itachi asked.
"I want people to find out on their own. But no, no one knows." Naruto said and walked off to the basement.
(Dream)
"Why did you leave?" a voice he knew said to him.
"I had to. Try and understand." Naruto said to the voice.
The darkness was overwhelming him. He knew the voice but he couldn't see the person. All he wanted was to see the person he left so long ago.
"You were gone for five years no call no nothing." The voice said to him.
He didn't understand what was going on because he did try to call.
"What? I did call you." Naruto said and tried to reach out to where the voice was but there was nothing but black.
"All you cared about was to succeed by yourself." The voice said.
Naruto tried to speak but he couldn't.
"You thought I wanted you to leave. All I wanted was for you to stay by my side you idiot." The voice said in voice that showed his sadness.
"Sasu- "Naruto was saying before he got cut off.
"Don't say my name you stupid ass bastard." The voice said.
He felt a punch to his face and it felt real.
(Dream Ended)
Naruto woke up to darkness and was sad by the dream he had.
"Will he really never forgive me?" Naruto said out loud to himself.
"Naruto!" his mother called him from upstairs. He raised from the cot and went for the light, but it was broken though. That's unusual it was working earlier for him and his sister.
Naruto walked up the stairs and spotted his family sitting at the dining room table. He went to sit by his father, there was an empty chair by him and he didn't notice until right now that it was available for someone to sit by him.
"Did you get decent rest?" Minato asked his son.
"Enough," Naruto said to his smiling father. Naruto didn't want to say he had been having bad dreams since he left town the first time. "Dad, who is sitting by me?" Naruto asked and didn't notice the new person to the table.
"Me," the voice of his dreams said.
Naruto turned real fast that he almost flipped out his chair.
"Sasuke," Naruto mumbled. He didn't want the voice to say the same thing from his dream.
"Do I know you?" Sasuke said, not really shocking anyone at the table, accept Naruto of course.
Naruto put his head down and felt like he was going to throw up. Everyone at the table and no one noticed the paleness in Naruto. No one knew how much turmoil was going on in him. He was feeling really sick and he was about to throw up. Naruto jumped up in the middle of the conversation that he heard nothing of it and ran out the house door. He heard his name being called but he couldn't turn back. He kept running until he got to the park him and Sasuke use to play. He found the tree he used to climb by himself and climbed it.
'He's never going to forgive me,' Naruto thought sitting on the branch and marking it saying he was higher than the last time he climbed.
Naruto started to calm his breathing, he couldn't believe he just ran out the house. But the tension for him was overwhelming. He climbed off the tree and started to head back home.
"Naruto?" a girl called to him. He turned to see the long blonde beauty that wasn't mad at him all this time.
Naruto smiled at her telling her that it was him.
"Naruto!" she said and ran to him jumping in his hands into a hug. The guy that was next to her didn't really seem too keen on her doing that. So Naruto assumed that was her boyfriend, which he was correct about. "I am so happy to see you. But why the hell didn't you contact me or Shika." She said still hugging him.
"It was a surprise. I wanted to surprise everyone." Naruto said to his female friend Ino.
A cough was heard and Ino turned to look at the man behind her. She blushed from embarrassment.
"Hello my name is Naruto; you must be Ino's boyfriend." Naruto said walking to the man holding out his hand to shake.
The guy put on a fake smile that creeped Naruto out. "I'm Sai," Sai said.
The guys voice was worse than his fake smile.
"Naruto have you talked to anyone since you been here?" Ino asked ignoring her boyfriend completely.
"No I haven't, you're the first person I saw aside from family. And Sasuke." Naruto said but he mumbled the last part.
"So he was at your house then?" Ino said like she already knew.
Naruto didn't want to talk about it but he nodded.
"I won't tell anyone you're here because it is going to be a surprise to them too. Be at my house by seven tonight." Ino said that left him no chance of saying no, so he just nodded. "I will text you my address." Ino said and walked off with her boyfriend.
Naruto sighed a breath of relief and sprinted to his family's house. When he got back inside Sasuke, Itachi, and Kuruma were all in the living room talking about something Naruto didn't care about. Naruto went straight to the basement instead of eating.
'How do I do this?' Naruto thought to himself.
Naruto now noticed that the light worked again. He got the clothes he wanted to wear out of his duffel bag and went back upstairs to the shower. Naruto was nervous with the fact that Sasuke was in his house. He didn't think he would see him in his house after all this time.
'What did Ino mean by what she said earlier? It seemed like she was saying he was always there.' Naruto thought as he was turning on the shower. There was a knock on the door that took him out of his thoughts.
"Open," Naruto said.
It was someone he didn't expect; it was Sasuke. It was hard for him to breathe again.
'Why is he in here?' Naruto thought as he got shoved into the wall randomly.
"Sasu- "Naruto once again got cut off.
"What did I say about saying my name? I don't want to have anything to do with you. I love your family so don't get no twisted idea that I want to be close to you. I hate you and wish you never came back. As far as I am concerned I erased every memory I have of you." Sasuke said all this threw gritted teeth.
Naruto struggled to keep his balance. "If that's the case why are you in here talking to me?" Naruto said he hated the fact that he sounded sad.
"I was just letting you know. Don't say my name." Sasuke said and let him go. He was about to be out the door when he heard what Naruto said.
"I missed you too," Naruto mumbled in a voice even he didn't recognize.
Sasuke turned around more pissed than he was before.
"You think I missed you?" Sasuke paused and just when Naruto was about to answer Sasuke continued. "I think all that music must have damaged your brain if you think that. What did you get to high on drugs for you to think properly? I don't want anything to do with your sorry ass." Sasuke said about to leave again but stopped.
"Then why come to my house to ask my folks how I am because you're not brave enough to ask me yourself." Naruto said starting an argument he knew would get out of hand. Naruto could feel the anger coming off Sasuke.
"You think I was coming here to check on you?" Sasuke said stepping closer to Naruto.
"I know you did," Naruto said now getting up from his spot on the bathroom floor looking toward Sasuke now.
"You don't know shit. I came here because your mother always talks to my mother in case you forgot. Your mother was heartbroken. Not that you care all you care about is dreams you more than likely didn't even succeed." Sasuke said seething now.
"Oh so you think I didn't succeed?" Naruto said bitter in his voice. 'How could he not believe in me?' Naruto thought.
"I know you didn't because you're a fucking idiot that can't do anything right." Sasuke said.
Naruto was pissed now and just punched Sasuke in the face.
"After all the time we were friends you never fucking believed in me. That's why you didn't want me to go you had no faith in me. Oh my bad only the great Sasuke Uchiha can succeed everyone else is dirt but sorry to break it to you I did succeed and I did it without you." Naruto said on the break of tears.
Sasuke punched Naruto right back.
"I never thought I was better than everyone. I just know I am better than you. Your stupid I'm not." Sasuke said.
They started to fight after that and nothing would stop them not even Itachi and Minato who tried to split them up. After a while Itachi and Minato gave up on trying to stop it because they thought maybe that's what they needed to talk again. The fighting was at least three hours in that small bathroom. When they finally stopped they both sat on the ground. They had marks everywhere. Sasuke had four scratches on his face, one on his forehead, two under his chin, and one his cheek. He had a busted lip a swollen eye and he knew he had marks on his body. Sasuke knew he got bit at least seven times. Naruto now he had a gash on his chin and forehead, a busted lip and a cut on the side of his eye. They didn't want to talk but they both knew they had too.
Instead of talking like normal people do, Naruto got up and started to take off his clothes so he could get in the shower. Sasuke just sat there like nothing was happening around him.
"Sasuke get out," Naruto's voice broke him from his thoughts. Naruto had a lot of marks all over his body and he had a tattoo now. The only thing Naruto had on now was his boxers.
"Make me," Sasuke said in a voice that said he wouldn't get up.
"I don't have time for this." Sasuke heard Naruto say and noticed Naruto took off his boxers and got in the shower. He couldn't close the shade because they ripped it off during their fight.
Sasuke got the full view of Naruto now and had to hide his blush. 'What the fuck is this idiot doing? Getting naked in front of me and ignoring me.' Sasuke thought to himself.
Sasuke decided it would be best to get out the bathroom now before he has a problem that he can't exactly deal with. Sasuke jumped up from his spot and walked out the bathroom. Naruto sighed a breath of relief that he left out the bathroom, he couldn't deal with his problem any longer. Naruto slid down the shower wall and was nearly to tears. When he finally got out the shower he noticed it was six o'clock and that he had to leave soon. Sasuke seemed to be gone now along with Itachi and Kuruma.
"Naruto, come here." Minato said. Naruto came up to his father and mother in the living room.
"Sorry about what happened." Naruto voiced before anyone could say anything about it.
"Why don't you tell Sasuke why you had to leave that day and not later?" Minato asked.
"I shouldn't have too." Naruto said in a way that said he wasn't going to change his mind.
"Fine, but that's not what we wanted to talk to you about." Minato said gesturing his son to sit down.
"What is it dad?" Naruto said as he sat down.
"Your sister is going to let you live with her until you get a place she has a spare room for you at her place. You don't have a room here and we would rather have you sleep in your own space instead of a basement." Minato said looking at his son.
"That's fine, I will only be staying with her for the rest of this month then I will have a place of my own." Naruto said.
"Okay, on with another subject. Where are you going tonight honey?" Kushina his mother asked.
"I told Ino I would go by her house at seven. Do you still have my car or did you sell that too?" Naruto asked.
"No we still have it in the garage." His dad said and threw him the keys.
Naruto caught them easily and walked out the house after saying his good-byes to his parents.
(Flashback)
"This is the ugliest color you could have gotten." Sasuke said laughing but he still got in the car.
"Then don't drive in her you asshole." Naruto said a tad irritated by his friend talking about his favorite color.
"We look like were driving in an orange." Sasuke said laughing.
"Shut up bastard." Naruto said smacking him.
They laughed together after that.
(End flashback)
Naruto opened the door to the garage and found his car covered in a car sheet that covered the gar. He ripped off his car and smiled because he seen his car for the first time in five years. He got his car out the garage and drove to the address given to him. No one was there from what he saw so he rang the doorbell and a little kid answered the door the kid had to be at least four years old. He had Ino's eyes and black hair.
"INOICHI!" a screamed that cued it was Ino yelling at the boy. Then Ino came running to the door.
"Oh my god thank god it was you. Some pervert could have gotten him." Ino said and gestured for him to follow her after picking up her son.
"So you had a kid and named him after your dad." Naruto stated.
Ino turned her head and smiled. "Yeah you know I am a daddy's girl. You don't have kids?" Ino said turning completely to look at him fully.
"You know I don't have any. You're on my Facebook if I had kids you would know." Naruto said with a smile. "You got a nice house. Wedding present from your dad?" Naruto said in way that he knew he was right.
"How do you know? I haven't even talked to Shikamaru about it." Ino said confused.
"I know everything." Naruto said in a simple way.
"Whatever, you brought that atrocious car didn't you?" Ino said handing the boy to Sai.
"Yes I did," Naruto said with a confident smile.
"Well that needs to be hidden or they will know you're here." Ino said and grabbed Naruto by the arm to the front door.
"Did you tell anyone or are you letting it be a surprise?" Naruto asked when they got outside.
"Letting it be a surprise he is so cool to know first." Ino paused because Naruto made a face that said she wouldn't have been the first to know. "I know you would have told Shika or Sasuke first but I was the first one so I am happy." Ino said and ran to move her car out the garage. She turned to Naruto after they were done and looked at his marks. "Naruto, did you and Sasuke fight after you got back home?" Ino asked with concern.
Naruto nodded not wanting to talk about it.
"That's sad," Naruto heard Ino mumble. Naruto didn't respond just followed her back in the house. Sai was waiting in the living room with Inoichi playing with some of his toys.
Inoichi ran to his mom and laughed when she caught him. Ino turned toward Naruto and smiled. "Naruto this is my baby," Ino was about to continue but her son cut her off.
"Mommy I'm not a baby anymore. I am four years old." Inoichi said in a cute way that made Naruto smile.
"Yeah Ino he's not a baby anymore. He's grown," Naruto said with a smile. The boy looked at him and was happy he had an ally.
"See mommy, I am Inoichi nice to meet you." Inoichi said holding his little hand out so Naruto could shake it.
Naruto knelt over and shook his hand, "it's very nice to meet you as you heard from your mommy my name is Naruto." Naruto said still talking to the little boy.
"My mommy and godfather talk about you a lot with doggy guy." Inoichi said with a smile. Ino blushed from embarrassment.
"Doggy guy that must be Kiba. Your godfather must be Shikamaru." Naruto said and Ino nodded to both.
"God mama never wants to talk about you she gets mad." Inoichi said in a sad tone.
"Sakura," Naruto said in sad voice. Ino nodded she felt bad for Naruto. Two people that were closest to him aside from Shikamaru didn't want to have anything to do with him.
"Okay Inoichi grandpa should be here for you now. Naruto just stay by Sai while I go give Inoichi to my dad." Ino said and walked out the house.
Naruto went to go sit in the living room not wanting to sit to close to Sai though.
"What made you come back?" Naruto heard Sai say.
"I never planned on being gone forever." Naruto said. He didn't like the way someone he barely knew was taking a tone with him.
"You know they were all very sad without you here? When they were in college." Sai said in a tone that told Naruto this guy was irritated.
"Sai stop it." Ino said walking into the living room.
"But it's true," Sai said.
"Let him talk Ino because honestly no one knows what I went through so let this outsider speak for everyone in the group we used to have that obviously broke up since I left. Let's just let him talk like he knows anything." Naruto said in a tone that Ino ever heard when Naruto was going to fight. She should know he fought a lot back in high-school.
"Naruto please calm down," Ino said softly that pulled Naruto back from hitting the guy his friend was getting married too. "Sai told all of us he was leaving some just didn't believe it when he said it and they were salty in the end because he actually did." Ino said in Naruto's defense.
"Your defending his actions when you were sad about it too." Sai said in surprise. In Sai's opinion he didn't understand what was so special about Naruto that all his friends were broken after he left.
"I know they were sad about it and so was I but that was the only time I could do it and come back." Naruto said before he could stop himself.
"What?" Ino and Sai both said looking at him.
"Nothing just leave it alone. I didn't come here to get lectured if I am going to be I am leaving." Naruto said standing up. Ino got up to stop him and the doorbell rang.
"You go to the kitchen," Ino said pushing Naruto toward the kitchen area.
Naruto nodded, Ino raised her eyebrow asking if he would leave. He shook his head no because now he wasn't going to leave. Ino ran to the door and answered it. From what Naruto could hear it was Kiba and a few others.
"What's going on Ino?" Kiba said sitting on the couch.
"I will tell you when everyone gets here." Ino said. That told Naruto not to come out the kitchen until everyone was here.
The doorbell rang again; he didn't hear who it was now. Twenty minutes later and Naruto assumed everyone was here by now.
"Okay Ino everyone is here now. What's going on?" Kiba said.
"It's about Naruto," Ino said. Naruto was about to walk out there but stopped by the voice he heard.
"What about him?" it was Sakura the voice was as bitter as Sasuke's. It stung to hear but not worse than Sasuke's.
"Yeah, what about him? Another tour?" another voice asked, it had to be Shino.
"No I am here," Naruto said from the dining room doorway. Everyone turned to the direction they heard the voice. Everyone was shocked but the first one to react was not shocking it was Hinata.
"Naruto," she said and walked up to him. When Naruto looked at the faces he noticed Sasuke was here also. Wow she got him to come is all Naruto could think about.
Naruto smiled at Hinata and walked toward the first one to come to him. Hinata jumped in his hands to hug him but when the hug stopped she smacked him in the face he had to look again to make sure it was actually Hinata who hit him and not someone else, it was Hinata who hit him.
Naruto held his cheek and seen tears coming down her cheeks. "Why haven't you been home in five years? That's a long time to be away. I am so mad at you but happy that your back." Hinata said through tears.
Naruto gave her a warm smile and hugged her again. "I'm sorry Hinata. I tried to get here faster and honestly I thought it was fast compared to others. It doesn't matter I am so sorry." Naruto said hugging his friend.
Everyone there was shocked by what he said. Sasuke didn't care he stood up and walked out the house slamming the door making everyone not shocked anymore. Kiba jumped up quickly and pulled Hinata away from Naruto and punched him in the gut.
"You bastard how can you?" Kiba said and was about to hit him again but Naruto pulled him into a hug instead.
"I missed you too." Naruto said.
Kiba struggled to get out the hug, "I didn't miss you. How did you become more of a bastard then Sasuke?" Kiba said struggling to keep his tears in.
"I'm sorry," Naruto said and Kiba just hugged him back.
That was the moment everyone decided to get out of there spots and walk up to Naruto, accept Sakura.
Shino smile and patted Naruto on the back saying he was glad he was back.
Choji smiled and offered him a chip.
Garra punched Naruto in the gut noticing the marks on Naruto's face so he didn't want to hit him there and then he hugged him.
Kankuro and Temari just smiled at him.
Tenten smiled with Neji by her side.
Lee on the other hand ran up to him "Naruto my youthful friend. How was the city?" Lee said as he hugged Naruto squeezing the life out of him.
"It was loud and youthful." Naruto said as he got out of the hug he didn't want.
Two people so far didn't say anything to him. Naruto looked toward Shikamaru and saw Shikamaru had a smile on his face.
"Shika," Naruto said with a warm smile that said everything they both knew was meant to be said.
"Hey Naruto," Shikamaru said and gave into the big bear he knew was coming.
"I missed you, hell I missed every one of you. It was lonely in the city." Naruto said.
That was the moment he heard Sakura get up and go for the door. Naruto didn't hesitate to run after her.
"Sakura wait!" Naruto said chasing her to her car.
She turned around abruptly and he bounced back. "What do you want? Did you think I would be happy your back after all this time? Well news flash I am not fucking happy. Just leave me the fuck alone." Sakura turned around but she couldn't move because Naruto was holding her arm. "Let me go," Sakura said in a tone that said she meant it and was going to hit him if he didn't, but he didn't let go.
"If you got to hit me to get over the pain then go ahead I can take the hits." Naruto said in a voice that was full of sadness.
It hurt Sakura a lot to hear his voice like that. Sakura realized that Naruto was just as sad and then she thought about what he said in the house. "If it was so lonely why didn't you just come back?" Sakura said knowing her tone was bitter.
"I had to stay until I was finished." Naruto said in a sad voice.
All their friends were staring at them from the doorway just waiting for them to get inside.
"What does that even mean?" Sakura said.
"What does it matter? I was the one that was alone. You all act like I left you by yourselves, I was the one that was by myself not you or anyone else." Naruto said with tears in his eyes. "What is wrong with me wanting to succeed and actually succeeding? What only everyone can get there dream but I have to sit around?" Naruto said on the brink of tears he had bottled up from all the pain he went through the past five years. He didn't even realize that he was actually crying. "You guys didn't think I would succeed either just like Sasuke." Naruto mumbled but everyone heard and was shocked by what he said.
Shikamaru thought it was best to bring the argument inside and to console his friend. "Naruto, come inside." Shikamaru said and grabbed Naruto by the arm and pulled him inside.
Ino ran by Shikamaru ignoring Sakura and ran to Naruto. No one in their group of friends aside from a few ever seen Naruto break down now everyone did.
"Did Sasuke really say that?" Kiba said to Hinata and Shino shocked.
"From what I heard Sasuke was the most informed about Naruto's life than any of us. He always told me where the shows were going to be." Shino told Kiba.
Sakura actually felt guilty now. She walked straight up to Naruto. "Naruto, I believed you could do it. But I didn't think you wouldn't come back after five years. You never even visited. And if Sasuke said that he thought you would fail he was lying to you because he was the most informed about you then any of us he even made a fake Facebook to look at your profile." Sakura said honestly.
Naruto looked up at her and seen the truth in her eyes. He gave her a smile that shocked them all because he still had tears in his eyes.
"Shit we all believed in you but we were pissed that you left." Kiba said. Everyone around them nodded their heads saying that they agreed.
"Did you ever think that maybe we were mad because we felt like you would forget all about us when you became famous?" Garra said.
They all laughed even Naruto.
"How about we all just get some drinks and sit to catch up now?" Shikamaru said.
"I can tell everyone what has been going up with me and what will be happening to me for now on." Naruto said. Everyone nodded.
"I will be living here but I will be going out of town from time to time. I am still in the music business as a solo artist." Naruto said looking at all his friends.
They all started drinking their drinks. The talks kept coming and now everyone accept a select few were drunk. Lee, Sai, Ino, Temari, and Shino were the sober ones. Well Ino wasn't sober but she wasn't drunk. Naruto had a lot of drinks so she knew he needed a ride home. She was the one to hear the doorbell so she went to answer it.
"Sasuke, thank god. Do you think you can take Naruto home and his atrocious car?" Ino asked. Sasuke made a face that said why me.
"I guess. I have to go to his sister's house anyway but I will not drive in that car." Sasuke said.
"You said his sister's?" Ino said in a questioning matter.
"He is staying with his sister." Sasuke answered.
"I swear you act like you don't care about him but everyone knows you do. That's why you here to begin with." Ino said as she rolled her eyes and let him in the house.
"Where is the idiot?" Sasuke asked ignoring her before comment.
"I'm not an idiot you're a moronic bastard that eats cat fur." The blonde said coming from the bathroom.
"Seriously? How much did this idiot drink?" Sasuke asked looking at Ino and pointing at Naruto.
"Don't go pointing at people you bastard asshole." Naruto said grabbing Sasuke by the finger and biting him.
"Oww what the fuck idiot." Sasuke said. Ino was on his side chuckling because she remembered when they were younger and Naruto use to bite Sasuke when he pointed at people.
"I told you already it's rude to point and if you do it again I will bite you again." Naruto said walking toward the living room. "You guys Sasuke is here now and I bit his punk ass." Naruto said wobbling into Garra. Garra punched him and he fell into the couch.
Sasuke was staring and the class of idiots in the living room. Even Shikamaru was in there. He put his hand to his head.
"You know you really hurt his feelings right?" Ino said out of nowhere.
Sasuke looked at Ino with a raised eyebrow.
"When you told him he wouldn't succeed. He was completely crushed by that. Out of everyone you should understand him best but you hurt him by saying the things you know could cut him. It's like you're the knife that cuts him. Don't get me wrong I know how hurt you were by him leaving but you could have said a million other things to get under his skin." Ino said and looked at him with sad eyes that said something Sasuke didn't understand.
"He wasn't that hurt if he's drinking with you guys laughing and playing around." Sasuke said in a bitter tone.
"Sasuke, Naruto started crying while he was sober in front of everyone." Ino said and was shocked by Sasuke's face of rage.
"He has no right to cry he left." Sasuke paused to look at Naruto. "He said sorry to everyone accept me." Sasuke finished seething with anger ready to punch Naruto again.
"How could he when you won't even accept it and he knows you won't." Ino said.
Sasuke couldn't say anything before Sai and Naruto came by them.
"Ino, this shit is crazy and all your friends are drunk as shit." Sai said trying to get away from Garra and Naruto.
"NARUTO!" Sasuke scolded Naruto to stop. Naruto stopped and went to stand by Sasuke. "I am going to take him home now." Sasuke said pulling Naruto out the house to his car.
"Where am I going?" Naruto asked. Sasuke ignored him. "Sasuke," Naruto called for him. But Sasuke kept on ignoring him soon it got quiet and Sasuke looked at Naruto and noticed he was sleeping.
"This idiot better not puke in my car. Maybe we should have taken his orange." Sasuke laughed at the memory.
"It's not an orange bastard." Naruto said still sleeping.
Sasuke looked at Naruto to make sure he was still sleeping.
"I'm sorry," Naruto said in his sleep. Sasuke was shocked but he knew Naruto was dreaming about him just like earlier in the basement.
"Did you know how lonely I was without you?" Sasuke said looking at Naruto.
"Yes, I was lonely without you too." Naruto said.
"Just sleep Naruto," Sasuke said and started driving to Naruto's sister's house.
When they got there Sasuke woke his blonde idiot up but the blonde was still drunk so he couldn't move properly. He took Naruto's keys from him and unlocked the door.
"Wow this is a nice place. Where are we Sasuke? Sasuke wonderland?" Naruto asked looking around.
"No you fucking idiot." Sasuke said still struggling to get Naruto in and shut the door. He accidently let go to lock the door but he thought Naruto was standing properly. Thank god Kuruma and Itachi were by his house tonight. Naruto slammed on the floor loudly. "You can't do anything right without me huh?" Sasuke said under his voice but Naruto heard him.
"Is that what you think?" Naruto said in a tone that was vicious.
"Shut up idiot," Sasuke said and had Naruto leaning against him again. Something told him not to talk shit to Naruto right now and it was for good reason. Naruto was a crazy ass drunk. Naruto bit him but this time in the neck. Sasuke jerked back so hard that he almost dropped Naruto but they both fell together instead. If Sasuke wasn't mad he would have laughed. Naruto didn't care though he was laughing and laughing hard that it made Sasuke shake. Sasuke missed his laugh. "You know you piss me off?" Sasuke said that made Naruto stop laughing and look at Sasuke.
"Why?" Naruto looked up with confused eyes. Sasuke looked him in the eyes that was definitely a mistake he pushed away from Naruto and stood. Sasuke was about to walk out the house and leave Naruto on the floor but he felt Naruto behind him and he knew he wouldn't be able to get out Naruto's sister's apartment without a fight. "Why do you keep running away from me? Say what you got to say." Naruto said giving Sasuke a chance to say how he felt.
"I have nothing to say to you idiot." Sasuke said.
"Why?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke turned to look at Naruto and noticed he had sadness in his eyes that Sasuke couldn't escape from.
"Why do you look so hurt when I should be the one that is hurt?" Sasuke said in a tone that said he was going to fight.
"Do you think I wanted to leave you behind?" Naruto asked ignoring Sasuke's question.
"Yes you did because you left," Sasuke said about to leave out the door because he just didn't want to be here anymore.
"I didn't want to leave you but if you feel that way then feel that way." Naruto said.
Sasuke was about to walk out the door when Naruto called him back.
"I don't know where my room is in this place." Naruto said looking around.
"I guess you wouldn't," Sasuke said and walked back in the house locking the door and helping him to the room Sasuke knew was his.
When Sasuke put Naruto in his bed he was heading out when Naruto said something again.
"Sasuke despite what you might think I do care about you and I am sorry. I missed you more than anyone even more then my family." Naruto said and rolled to the other side of the bed by the wall.
Sasuke let himself breath. He was holding his breath and didn't even know he was doing it. At that moment he decided he would talk to Naruto tomorrow. Sasuke walked to the living room noticed the couch sucked and then thought back to what Naruto did when he was in the room. He moved over like how he use to do. Sasuke went back to Naruto's room and stood before the bed. "What should I do?" Sasuke said.
"Just lay down," Naruto mumbled looking over his shoulder at Sasuke. Sasuke for some reason didn't hesitate to lay down.
Sasuke stared at the door and Naruto was looking at the wall. Naruto decided this was his chance to make things right between them.
"Sasuke," Naruto said looking at the back of Sasuke's head.
"Hn," Sasuke grunted.
"I missed you," Naruto said in a gentle tone that make a part of Sasuke crack.
"Then why? Why didn't you just wait?" Sasuke said turning toward Naruto. They were face to face now.
"I couldn't wait if I did I would have lost my chance." Naruto said putting his hand up so he didn't get hit.
"I would have gone with you if you asked me to go." Sasuke said.
"I know you would have but you needed to go to school." Naruto said in a low voice.
Sasuke got up immediately, "seriously? You didn't even give me a choice Naruto." Sasuke said mad as hell.
"I know and I'm sorry," Naruto said pulling Sasuke back down on the bed.
"I am so mad at you. You better make it up to me after these five years." Sasuke said.
Naruto chuckled "I promise I will," Naruto said with a smile.
They both curled into each other in a way they both knew they would wake up looking crazy like when they were kids.
