Naruto watched in anguish as his apartment burned down. 'Why does all the bad stuff have to happen to me?' Naruto asked himself as he heard the fire trucks coming late. He knew someone had to of set this up and since no one in the town liked him, he knew the fire truck had purposely come late. He started walking to a friend's house as he knew he couldn't find a place that night.
As he stood outside of Iruka's small apartment on the other side of town, he lifted his fist to knock but hesitated at the last second. Did he really to interrupt his former teacher while he was sleeping? Naruto shivered as the cold hit him and he made his choice. He knocked and a few seconds later a young man with brown hair and a scar across the nose of a kind face opened the door.
"Ah, Naruto-kun, what are you doing here?" Iruka asked rubbing sleep from his eyes. Naruto shifted from one foot to the next. "Ah, Iruka- sensei, I was wondering if I could stay here until I get a new apartment." Iruka's eyes widened as he let his ex-student in. By now, Iruka was wide awake. "Tell me what happened and I'll help you with whatever you need help with." Iruka demanded.
Naruto looked him in the eye as he told him, "My apartment burned down and I'll need a place to stay until I get a new one." Iruka then went all mother hen on Naruto as he asked, "Who was it? Are you okay? Were you in the apartment when it started burning?" Naruto just stood there as he waited for Iruka to stop bombarding him with questions. "Um, Iruka-sensei, can I go to bed in the guest bedroom?" Naruto asked interrupting Iruka in his mother hen mode. "Ah, yes you can," Iruka said realizing what the time was. Naruto almost cried in happiness as he laid down on the bed. He was asleep in seconds.
The next morning, after a breakfast of Ramen from Ichirakus, Naruto and Iruka went to visit the mayor. The mayor was a young looking woman with a big bust and two long blonde pigtails. Naruto shouted, "Hey Baa-chan, Wake up."
The once asleep mayor was now awake and glaring at the boy who she thought of as a surrogate son. "Shut up brat," she mumbled as she clutched her head, for the hangover was killing her. "Why are you here anyway?" Naruto explained everything to her as he told Iruka. "Well brat, seeing as it's the third time this year, I'm going to make you move in with someone. Come to my office at noon and I'll have you meet the person." Naruto stared at her as he comprehended everything she said, "Me, live with someone? But baa-chan," his protest died out as she punched him through a wall and into the street. "Don't call me that brat," Tsunade yelled, "Now get out of here." Naruto nodded fearfully as he got up. Iruka went over to Naruto and told him, "You shouldn't get on her nerves like that, Naruto. Tsunade-sama is a very busy person."
Naruto pouted as he looked at Iruka, "If she's so busy, why does she sleep all the time?" In a loud voice. "And why can't I just live with you, Iruka-sensei?"
Iruka sighed, "You know that I don't earn enough to take care of two people. We've been over this already," he told him as he started walking away.
Soon it was noon and Naruto went to the mayor's office alone to find that his worst enemy was standing there. Before Tsunade could say anything Naruto started yelling, "Not him. Not in my life will I live with that bastard." Tsunade sighed. "It's perfect Naruto-kun, he lives alone and he has plenty of space and while you're living with him, no one will do anything to harm you when you're at his house. Now leave before I get a headache." Naruto stormed out of the office and Sasuke followed silently behind. He smirked knowing what he was going to do when they both got to the mansion.
Well do you like it? It's not during Ninja times, it's modern day so there will be no fight scenes or any of that sort. Please review and tell me what you think.
