It's beta but I don't know by who?
The Sunday morning was a rainy day, the clouds over head shielded the sunlight. The day grew dimmer as the time passed, he worked in his basement, he didn't want to see the rain, or the sadness that came with it. The rain was always a sad thing to him, he sat at the bench as he played the black grand piano, he wrote his only music, he played a couple of classic music from time to time but nothing he liked.
Sasuke watched the keys and his fingers work, he exhaled a deep breath and let it out slowly. Sasuke had been at it for over three hours, he stopped his playing, he grabbed a pencil and place it in his mouth, he stood up and walked around the piano, going to the old creaking stairs. He had a note sheet in his hands, he read the notes and softy played them inside his head. He pushed opened the door as he was all the way up the staircase, he shut the door softly with the back of his shoe.
Sasuke went into the front room of his two story house that he bought and had owned for a whole week. Sasuke came from the city to the country farm house and neighbor's all around him, who farmed and worked on the fields. Sasuke wanted some peace time for himself, he wanted to write music for awhile and then go back to his old life. Sasuke sat down on his brown leather sofa which buttons itched into his back. He grabbed the pencil from his mouth and wrote some things down, it took him weeks to finish a single line of notes, but it was worth it, and it sounded great.
Sasuke sighed at the lack of notes he had come up with, he threw the note sheet down onto the black coffee table. He slouched down in the sofa and rubbed his face tiredly with one hand; he wanted to just write the music as soon as possible, but his head had some other ideals. Sasuke tipped himself to the side- his side meet the sofa, he pulled up his legs and pulled himself in a tight ball before falling into a little nap. The sounds of the clock ticking was heard through the front room, it rung eleven times, telling everyone it was now eleven o'clock.
'The Breaking Point'
Naruto smiled as the rain continued falling on the window, he sat there just watching- his father had yelled at him to come inside before he caught a cold or something worse. Naruto pointed a finger against the window, he moved his finger according to the rain drop and he followed it down to the bottom of the window. Naruto glanced over his shoulder and watched his father prepare lunch for him and his son.
Naruto sighed and looked back outside, he gave a soft chuckle when he saw a pink and orange umbrella tumble onto the front yard, he watched it blow into his neighbor's yard just across from Naruto's house. Naruto looked into the window and watched a male sit down on a sofa, he looked like he was frustrated with something as he threw down a simple sheet of paper, the guy rubbed his face with his hand.
"Hey dad." Naruto called over his shoulder, he watched the guy curl up into a ball- the sofa was facing the window so it was easy to see what the guy did. Naruto heard foot steps behind him.
A hand came over the blond's head. "What is it?" Minato said while hunching down next to his son.
Naruto pointed a finger to the guy on the sofa. "Who's that?" He asked and looked up at his father.
Minato squinted his eyes, "Hmm. That's the guy who moved in about a week ago, we sent him a letter saying ' we wish to greet you and have a party to meet his neighbor's', but he never showed up." He shrugged and ruffled his son's hair with the hand he had brought up, "I think he's the type you don't want to meet."
Naruto tilted his head more to the side as his father stood up and went back into the kitchen. Naruto watched his father leave the room, he looked back to see the man still curled up. He wondered if the guy was lonely, the position enough told Naruto just how the guy was feeling. Naruto looked from the inside to the driveway, he sighed in amazement at the jet-black Mercedes in the driveway.
His father peeked his head from the kitchen, "Lunch."
Naruto stood up and walked into the kitchen, he hoped his father made his favorite food. He smiled as he looked at his plate, corn! He sat down immediately and grabbed a old looking sliver spoon and dug into the mountain of corn. The yellowy goodness made his mouth water from the very sight of it. "Hey dad? What you said early about the guy next door, what do you mean by 'I think he's the type you don't want to meet.' " Naruto looked over to his father to elaborate his words from earlier.
Minato lowered his fork, he looked everywhere else beside his son's eyes. "I mean, he distances from people, he likes his space to not be entered. Keeps to himself, you know." He ripped the chicken layer from the chicken thigh and brought it to his mouth.
Naruto raised an eye brow. "He's not like me?" He said out loud and brought a spoon of corn to his mouth. "Why'd he move here?" He asked in a puzzled tone, the guy must have money if he had a Mercedes in his driveway.
Minato finished chewing on whatever he had in his mouth and sipped a glass of water before speaking. "Well, if I ever meet him, I'll ask him for you." He set the glass back down and rubbed his hands together, feeling crumbs drop from them and onto his lap. "Are you about done?" Minato stood up, grabbing his plate, he waited until his son answer with a 'no' before going to the sink.
Naruto stared at the chicken to the few pieces of corn left, he scooped up the corn -with his fingers- he had left and popped them into his mouth. "Can I go over to Shikamaru's house?"
Minato looked over his shoulder at his son, his eyes shifted to the plate. "Only if you finish the chicken." He looked back into the sink, washing the leftover food that still covered his plate.
"But it's not corn..." Naruto whined, he stared at the meat, he stuck his tongue out at the chicken, he was sure it was that rooster that pecked him a week ago. He didn't want to eat it or touch it, moments like this he wished he had a dog. Naruto poked the chicken leg on his plate, it rolled over, startling Naruto in his seat. The chicken would probably come back to life to peck him again, he looked up and pouted at his father's back.
Minato sighed, he knew his son was staring at him. "You can go..." He sounded defeated as he gave his son permission to go over to his friends.
Naruto perked up, grabbed the chicken leg from his plate, left the kitchen to the living room, then to the door, which he opened and stormed out of. "Thanks dad." He said before slamming the door shut. It was lightly misting water, but Naruto didn't mind as he ran from his yard to the next, throwing the chicken leg over the white pickup fence- where Akamaru was chained up, he heard a couple of barks and then nothing. He ran over neighbor's yards to Shikamaru's, he just got a new game and was bragging about it over the phone that morning.
Naruto stopped in front of the blue door, he panted as he knocked loudly. Shikaku answered the door. "Not another one!" He sighed as he brought his hand from the door handle.
Naruto blinked up at Shikamaru's father. "Huh?" He said out of breath.
"Every kid with in a ten block radius is here.." He motioned with his hand for the door to come in before the rain got worse. "He and the others are upstairs." The older male pointed in the direction of the stairs.
Naruto moved a hand to his wet hair and pulled his locks up, making them spike up. He made his way across the living room and up the long staircase. Naruto took two steps at a time; stopping at the top, he glanced down the short hallway where Shikamaru's room was, he saw that the door was open, with backs of kids standing in front of the opened door, there was talking and loud laugher, and video game noises. Naruto walked in front of the groups backs, he pushed on one to move to the side, he squeezed himself through a couple of fatties. He tried making it to Shikamaru's bed, knowing he will most likely be laying down, while everyone took turns. Suddenly he was tripped by a foot! He fell and almost landed in some food, he shook his head and looked behind him to see who it was.
"Kiba." He sighed, he should have known.
The boy chuckled, he handed the blond his hand as a peace offering, for what he had done to the blond haired friend. "Bout time you made it." He said yanking Naruto to his feet, he patted said boy on the back. "Now the real fun begins."
Naruto narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "What does that mean?"
"Truth or dare!" Kiba yelled, with one fist up.
"Hey! Keep it down!" Shikaku yelled with a pound under the room, Shikaku was jabbing the end of the broom against the room above.
Kiba felt bad so he yelled 'Sorry!' to the floor. Kiba walked over to the bed and pushed Shikamaru's legs as he sat down. He placed a fist on his thigh, and placed the open palm on his knee. "Well, Uzumaki Naruto- truth or dare." He knew the blond always choose 'dare' and he had a great one.
Naruto lifted his eye brow. "Dare."
"I'll dare you to go over to the new guys Mercedes and honk the horn and run for it." Kiba pointed to the direction of the new guy's Mercedes.
Shikamaru sat up, "Isn't that like ringing the door bell and running?"
"Yea." Kiba said annoyed, "I just made it better!" He mocked in a 'whatever' tone.
Naruto gulped, he sat down on the floor in front of Kiba. "And what if the doors are locked or the alarm goes off?" Naruto shifted from his knees to his butt.
"If the car is locked, just go to the door and ring it and run. If the alarm goes of then that would be awesome...." Kiba snorted out a laugh.
Naruto, with some difficultly got up, "alright..." He said as he slowly went to the opened door to the short hallway, jogging down stairs. Kiba and Shikamaru followed him to see if he really would do it -which they knew he would, they just wanted a good laugh, the other guys stayed inside Shikamaru's room, still playing that game.
Naruto walked down the wet sidewalk, it was around dinner time and the sun was going down. He stopped as he was in front of his house, he looked across the street to the new guys house, his eyes drifted to the jet-black Mercedes. Naruto licked his dry lips, he slowly made his way over to the driveway. He absentmindedly looked inside the window, noting that he was still on the sofa. Naruto lightly touched the back of the car's trunk, he let out a relived sigh, the alarm must be off. Naruto walked to the driver's side and pulled the handle, he cursed as it opened, he really didn't want to do this.
He had to go through with it, he left the door open and sat down in the most comfortable seat that he ever had the chance to sit in before, he wiggled his butt and sighed at the feeling. Forget about honking the horn, he wanted the car. He was tempted to get out of the car and yell to his friends, 'let's steal the car instead.' Naruto caressed the steering wheel, he let out a breath. He was going to own one when he got older, it would be a funny story to tell his grandchildren. One night my friends dared me and then the next thing I was in my dream car. He was a great storyteller, he smiled, the smiled vanished as he saw his friend in the rear view mirror.
Naruto rested a hand over the horn, he overlapped the hand with his other hand. Naruto placed one foot outside the car and onto the gravel ground. He pressed down, and a loud horn went off, he held it for 10sec before he jumped and oddly fell onto the ground, the side face met the ground- hard. The gravel scratched Naruto's right upper cheek bone, he winced and he pushed himself up. His breath was sucked from his lunges as he heard a door open and shut, he calmed his breathing as soon as he got it back and turned his head to the porch to see a black haired man with pale skin, he wore a light grey shirt and black suit pants..
"What the hell are you doing?!" The ravenette sneered at what he saw- a kid half way out of his car which leaned to him thinking the kid was going to steal his Mercedes.
"It was a dare!" Naruto winced as he tried pulling his leg from the car. He twisted his ankle and the side of his face is throbbing in pain. "Some dare." He absentmindedly looked over the street, and wouldn't you know it- they weren't there. Some friends..I'm going to re-tell this story with them not in it.
The ravenette walked down the porch and to the car, he shut the door and stared down at the blond haired kid on the ground. His eyes moved to the scratches on the upper cheek bone, then to the ankle that was pulled from his car. He sighed as he ran a hand through his black hair, "get up and in the house." He demanded as he went back inside his house, he left the door open.
Naruto glared at the guys back, he could have helped him up and up the steps, he flipped onto his stomach and pushed himself up, he was off balance as he stepped on his good ankle and then on his bad ankle which made his height go uneven.
He grabbed the knob to the door and turned around and shut the door, he walked down the short hallway, and to his left was the front room- the one he could see into from his window. He sat down on the leather sofa and stared at the front side of his house, the lights were on and his father was watching TV. He lifted his hand to his cheek, feeling the little bit of skin sticking out.
"Here."
The voice startled him and he looked behind the sofa to see a wet wash cloth. He grabbed the warm cloth and placed it against his scared cheek bone. He twisted his ankle to see how far he could before he flinched against the pain. "Thanks mister..." Naruto looked nervous, "why didn't you go to the meeting your neighbor's planned? My father says you're antisocial, is that true?" Naruto pouted when he didn't get any reply.
The raven went over to the wall sized window and placed a hand against the side frame, he looked out - completely ignoring the blond.
Naruto watched his back, he sighed as he looked on the black table- a single sheet was laying in the center. He picked it up and immediately recognized it was music notes. He read them in his head, softy at first and then loud- he didn't realize he had begun humming.
Sasuke stared outside his window and looked at his Mercedes, hoping that no one else would come by and get in his car and honk the horn only to go out and then scream it was a 'dare.' Sasuke stifled a yawn, he then heard humming- he thought he heard it before. He gave himself a mental slap to his forehead- that was his music he had wrote not to long ago. He spun on his heels to see the blond on the sofa with a sheet in front of him, humming the notes music- Sasuke had to catch his breath before glaring. He stormed over to the boy, grabbing him by the under side of his arm. He pulled the blond from the sofa to the short hallway and then to the door and grabbed the note sheet. He opened the door and pushed the blond out, slamming the door in his face.
With the blond on the other side of the door Sasuke tore the music sheet in half and did it a couple of more times, he then threw the ripped sheet into a small trash can near the door. Sasuke leaned against the door, his heart beat was racing- the blond had hummed his music more perfectly then he could have imaged.
Naruto stood on the other side of the door, wondering what he did to deserve that. The guy didn't even say more the twenty words to him, OK maybe he shouldn't have gotten into his car or read his music, he vaguely wondered if he was a musician trying to get back on his feet. He sighed and went down the porch and walked over to his house, walking up his side walk to his house. He didn't know he was being watched by the black abyss eyes of his neighbor.
