Hello everyone,
I know I haven't published this story in such a long time and for that I am sorry. I have been working and going to school back to back so I never really have time to write. But now that I have internet access everywhere and I am getting used to my schedule I may be getting better enough to write my stories more.
As for all the reviews I appreciate them all.
Chidori95: I enjoy reading your comments to all my stories that you have read so far but I would love to know why you like them so much.
MUSTFINDOTP: Thanks. :)
Guest: I agree with you slow romances are the best kind. But this one can't be too slow because they are only there for two months. So it will speed up but there won't start being any romance until chapters 4 or 5.
Dresu-Maela: It will be said sooner or later why he doesn't like to be touched.
Sedieca: I like changing it up.
Enjoy the chapter.
Naruto and Sasuke walked back to the cabin after an hour of being in the forest. They got back right before dinner roll call. Thanks to Sasuke neither was thought runaways on their first day. After dinner which was slightly odd in everyone's opinion because Naruto and Sasuke did most of the talking at the table. No one knew what happened in the past hour to change and make the two least talkative out of the group the most talkative. When they all sat at the dinner table Shikamaru, Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, and Sai sat on one side and the other side was Choji, Kiba, Shino, Gaara, and Lee. There seemed to be a shift in their cabin and they all noticed it was because the blonde. Shikamaru personally thought this year was going to change because of the blonde.
A few girls walked up to them before they got up from their table at dinner.
"Kiba, you guys still coming tonight?" a blonde with two pigtails said.
"Yes Temari were coming. The whole cabin is, right?" Kiba said eyeing everyone.
Sasuke, Neji, and Sai shared a look with each other saying they didn't know if they were going then Sai made a decision for all of them.
"Yes we will all be going," Sai said.
"Shika," Temari said walking up to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru leaned back to prove he was listening.
"You better come, so you're the new kid everyone keeps talking about?" Temari asked after she looked at Shikamaru.
"Yes," Naruto said looking at the blonde teen.
"Good everyone wants to meet you," Temari said and walked away after hitting Shikamaru on the shoulder.
"That's your woman?" Naruto asked looking at Shikamaru. Shikamaru nodded his head.
"Good woman," Naruto said with a smile.
"Yeah but troublesome too," Shikamaru said. It made Naruto chuckle.
"Isn't every woman?" Naruto said with a chuckle.
Kakashi spotted them all sitting at the table and noticed Sasuke and Naruto were actually getting along which in all honesty shocked him so he walked over to them. He thought Itachi and Iruka would really want to hear about it later on.
"Hello Sasuke, Naruto," Kakashi said.
Naruto sighed he was having a good time until this fucker had to come over and ruin it.
"What do you want Kakashi?" Sasuke questioned not really wanting to be around Kakashi.
"I am glad to see you two getting along." Kakashi said looking at the both of them.
They both glanced at each other than glared at Kakashi.
"Go away," they both said together shocking everyone at the table accepts themselves.
"Well that was weird," Kiba whispered to Shino. Shino nodded his head in agreement.
Naruto looked at Sasuke as they got up from the dinner table and spoke. When Kakashi walked away from the table everyone dispersed and went to do their own things leaving Sasuke and Naruto in the cabin together.
"How do you know Kakashi?" Naruto asked sitting on his bed.
"He is a family friend." Sasuke answered.
"He is my adoptive father's boyfriend. He always is insisting that I get more acquainted with Kakashi but I don't want to because he always wants to show me his pervert books." Naruto said.
"Adoptive father?" Sasuke questioned because he didn't know that part of information.
Sasuke thought that Kakashi got with Naruto's actual dad, his biological father.
"Yeah I was adopted by him." Naruto said not explaining much else.
Sasuke understood that Naruto didn't want to go in further detail about his home life. Hell he didn't want to get into his home life either so he was definitely not going to force someone else to tell him what he wants to know. He figured Naruto would tell him when he was ready too, which was fine with him.
"Are you really going to go to this little party?" Sasuke asked Naruto.
"I guess, I never done anything like this anyway. I should just make the best of it." Naruto said shocking Sasuke a little bit.
Naruto seemed rather friendly in general but not overly excessive like some people but still something seemed really off about how Naruto talked and all that. Sasuke was curious but he didn't want to be overly curious but he was planning on asking Kakashi about why Naruto was like that.
"Let's make the best of it then." Sasuke said gently as he lay back on his bed.
The cabin became a quiet comfortable peace for the two until the others started to come back in.
"So it's on Gaara." Kiba said walking to his bunk.
"You can't even compare to me Kiba." Gaara said jumping away from Kiba.
"They're arguing again." Sai said with Neji following.
"Figures barbarians," Neji said and Kiba and Gaara heard it.
"You want to repeat that?" Kiba screamed.
"Shut up you guys. You know we all get punished if you fight." Choji said.
"I thought you get kicked out if you fight?" Naruto said raising his head.
"You do but sometimes there are special cases and this would be one of them. They would just get us a lockdown under constant surveillance." Shikamaru explained.
"And trust you don't want that." Sasuke said quietly but Naruto heard him.
"Well god damn there goes my escape plan." Naruto mumbled sarcastically.
"I knew you were trying to escape." Kiba said looking toward Naruto.
"Shut up Kiba," Shikamaru said sighing and jumping on his bunk.
"Hey, how do we plan on doing this tonight?" Sai asked.
"We plan on doing it on the last check up tonight." Shikamaru answered.
"Sounds like we will be getting caught if we all aren't asleep." Neji said.
"That's why you would have to pretend to be asleep." Shikamaru said like it was a no brainer and in reality it was.
Neji sighed going to his bunk. Neji didn't really get along with Shikamaru because of many different reasons. One of those reasons being they went to the same high school and Shikamaru had the highest scores despite not even trying.
"When is the last check up?" Naruto asked.
"11:00," Sasuke said.
"Hey let's play a game." Choji suggested.
"THAT SOUNDS LIKE A YOUTHFUL PLAN!" Lee screamed enthusiastically making Neji swat him on the back of the head to calm him down.
"What do you want to play until then?" Kiba asked.
Choji shrugged his shoulders because he didn't really know what to say to that.
"How are you going to make the suggestion and not know?" Neji questioned.
"Don't get on his case he just wanted the tension to be released in the cabin." Shikamaru said aggressively.
Shikamaru is normally the least aggressive person in the cabin until it comes to his girlfriend or Choji and possibly his other friend Ino.
"I have a question." Naruto voiced sitting up in his bed.
Everyone looked at him shocked because they didn't really expect it.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked surprising all of them.
"Why does it seem that there is so much tension in this cabin?" Naruto asked. "Honestly all of this tension makes me want to jump out the window, it's suffocating." Naruto said.
"A lot of us know each other from something or another from outside the camp and some people have business things related to it all. And we all basically were here with each other since kids. That's why Neji asked why you were here earlier." Shikamaru answered.
"Then what is up with you and Neji?" Naruto asked directly to Shikamaru.
"He is upset at Shikamaru because Shika gets ahead of him at school without even trying." Choji answered making Neji glare at him.
"You go to school together?" Naruto asked his eyebrows rising in slight surprise but no one really caught it aside from Sasuke and Shikamaru who were really watching him.
"Yeah, I, Shika, Gaara, Neji, and Lee all go to school together." Choji said nodding his head as he ate a bag of chips.
"Then why don't those two over there get along?" Naruto asked pointing toward Gaara and Kiba who were currently arguing.
"They knew each other since they were I believe three because their families are close along with mine. So, they always fight." Shino answered.
"All of us know each other for some reason or another. Almost all of us have been coming here since we were six." Shikamaru said.
"Can I ask how everyone knows each other?" Naruto asked.
"I don't mind telling you how I know everyone." Sasuke said and Naruto nodded at him. "I met all of them aside from Gaara and Neji here. I knew Gaara and Neji from my family's business." Sasuke said.
"When did you start coming here?" Naruto asked sitting up on his bed leaning on the post but looking at Sasuke.
"Five, I believe it was me and Shikamaru to be the first ones here. I met Lee and Sai outside of the camp though through Neji." Sasuke answered.
"Damn that must have sucked to be here that young. Actually it could have been fun getting away from home and making friends." Naruto pondered out loud.
"I met Sasuke and Sai through family business. I met Lee at school. I knew Gaara through family business also, but we aren't friends. I met Kiba through my cousin a year before he started coming here. I met everyone else here until Shikamaru, Choji, and Gaara started going to the same high school as me." Neji said.
"So, is it true? The reason you don't get along with Shikamaru." Naruto asked.
"No," Neji said and turned his head ignoring everyone's looks. "Fine, it's not really that but it is close to that. He doesn't even try to get the highest grades but gets them. Do you know how frustrating it is to work hard for someone to just snatch it away without even trying to?" Neji asked.
"Yeah I guess I do understand that." Naruto said with a small smile shocking everyone because he hasn't really smiled since being there.
"Well I met everyone aside from Sai, Neji, and Sasuke here. And it's been a YOUTHFUL experience right guys?" Lee announced happy.
"Yeah, sure." They all mumbled.
"I knew this idiot and Shino since I was a baby, our parents are close friends. I met Neji and Sasuke through a business arrangement that I went to. Everyone else I met here. Shikamaru is also dating my sister." Gaara said.
"Oh wow," Naruto said glancing at Shikamaru.
"Shika and I have been friends since we were kids along with a girl that is here also and everyone else I met here." Choji said.
"I know these two since we were babies like Gaara said. I met Neji through his cousin like he said. I met everyone else here because my dad's family business has nothing to do with any of theirs." Kiba said.
"I only knew Choji before coming here. I was five also; Sasuke was the first one I met. As for everyone else I only knew Neji outside because his uncle always asked my father for advice so they always left us together." Shikamaru said.
"The same for me as Kiba aside I didn't meet Neji." Shino mumbled.
"I knew Neji since we were six years old. I met everyone else years later. I didn't really come here until I was twelve." Sai said. "Well aside from Lee, I knew him too. I met Sasuke possibly a year before coming here." Sai said.
"So, the common denominator in everyone's life is Neji huh?" Naruto said with a soft chuckle.
"I guess you can say that." Shikamaru said shrugging his shoulders grabbing some chips out of Choji's bag.
"When did everyone starts coming here?" Naruto asked.
He only wanted to ask how they knew each other and when they started because they were simple questions that were normal to ask and not get questioned back for it.
"Five," Sasuke said.
"Me too," Shikamaru said.
"Me three," Choji said waving his hand in the air.
"I was twelve." Sai said.
"I want to say we were I think..." Kiba started.
"Ten," Gaara said.
"We all came together." Shino clarified.
"Neji and I were eight." Lee said for the both of them. "We also got sent here at the same time because my parents didn't want Neji to go if I didn't." Lee said.
"That's because they didn't want to deal with you being all hyper at your house." Neji said making everyone laugh.
Shikamaru and Sasuke both found it amazing that this new kid managed to get everyone to talk to each other. No one in this cabin ever said a word to each other unless they were already friends.
"What about you? Why did you get sent here?" Neji asked.
"I think my father wants me to get more acquainted with kids my own age seeing as I don't really have friends at school." Naruto said.
"You don't? What a surprise." Lee said what everyone was thinking because in everyone's eyes Naruto seemed friendly enough to at least make a friend.
"I don't really talk to people." Naruto said shrugging his shoulders.
Sasuke just watched him as Naruto shrugged his shoulders like he doesn't care but he could tell he did.
"Well things happen for a reason so let's make the best of the experience and be friends." Shikamaru said standing in front of Naruto.
Naruto smiled and took Shikamaru's hand. "Yeah," Naruto said shaking his hand.
"Let's make this summer the summer to remember." Kiba said.
"YES, MY YOUTHFUL FRIEND! LET'S MAKE THIS A YOUTHFUL SUMMER WITH ALL NEW GREAT FRIENDS!" Lee screamed.
Everyone nodded to that. No one knew what just happened exactly to make everyone want to even become friends. It seemed like they just declared something that only their cabin would understand.
"Naruto, what school do you go to?" Kiba asked as they just got done finishing playing a card game of UNO.
"I just stopped school at this one private school but I think I am going to public after this summer. I think it is going to be Konoha High." Naruto said shuffling the cards.
They all actually happened to be in a game of UNO. What shocked everyone was that no matter what Naruto always won the game getting out before everyone.
"What is your grade point average?" Neji asked.
"You're going to school with me." Kiba said excited.
"Really? I got a 4.0 G.P.A." Naruto said he was actually excited about going to school and actually having a friend there.
"Yup, we go to school there along with a few other people that happen to be at the camp." Kiba said ignoring Neji and a few other shocked faces about Naruto's G.P.A. Kiba didn't care about all that.
"You get a 4.0 every time?" Neji asked.
"Yeah I have since I was a child." Naruto said placing his last card down.
"I go to Sound High." Sasuke said abruptly.
"Are we just going to ignore the fact that he said he gets a 4.0 all the time since he was a kid and none of us have won this game not once." Neji said distraught.
"Neji calm down." Sai said understanding what Neji was saying but wasn't making a big deal about it.
"You really do care about intelligence huh?" Naruto said staring directly at Neji.
"Intelligence is important." Neji said.
"Yes, it is, but what matters is your own intelligence not others." Naruto said. "If you want to play a different game we can but I assure you I am basically good at every single game ever made." Naruto said. "All I ever did was play games and study as a kid so I tend to know a lot of moves playing games." Naruto said standing up and going to his bed.
"What are you? A monster? You played all the games? I don't want to play board games with you then." Kiba said in a joking manner making Naruto smile.
"When I was a kid they tended to leave me to my own devices so I used to read and play games. It was good way to help my puzzle making skills." Naruto said.
"You didn't play with anyone?" Gaara asked.
"No didn't really have anyone to play with. I lived with my parents when I was really young so I don't remember too much about them after they died. So, when they couldn't find any relatives of mine I got sent to foster care and I didn't talk so no one wanted to play with me." Naruto said openly.
Gaara felt bad for asking a question that seemed to bring up sad memories for his new friend but he could understand. If it wasn't for Kiba and Shino he knows he wouldn't have friends at all. People didn't like his temperament that's why he was trying to change high schools. If it wasn't for Shikamaru he wouldn't hang out with anyone at school.
"My mom died giving birth to me so I never got to meet her." Gaara said deciding to be open too.
"I never knew my mom but my dad died when I was ten so now I get taken care of by my uncle." Neji said.
Naruto could honestly say he was shocked that everyone was opening up since he said only a little bit about his past but there was a distinct part of him happy about it. That means these people were really trying to be his friend.
"My parents died when I was ten. My brother takes care of me now. You asked me how I knew Kakashi it's because he was our guardian until my brother got out of college and took over the family business." Sasuke said.
"That must have sucked to have him as your guardian. They couldn't find anyone else." Naruto said with a face of horror that made Sasuke smile.
"I guess not." Sasuke said relieved that no one dived into how their parents died nor did they ask about how.
"I don't know my dad. He disappeared when I was younger." Kiba said.
"Did you ever ask where he went?" Shikamaru asked surprisingly.
"Yeah and my mom ranted about him being a deadbeat that when she finds him she was going to neuter him." Kiba said thinking back.
"Oh god," all of them groaned.
"Trust us; you don't want to be on his mom's bad side." Shino said with Gaara nodding quickly.
"My mom is pretty scary too. My dad told me if you aren't afraid at least a little bit of your woman than she isn't the one for you. Well in some cases that is." Shikamaru said.
"Shika and I were out with Ino one time and his mom cuss us out and call my mother for us to get cussed out together by my mother for that time." Choji said.
"That's because we didn't come home till three in the morning and we were thirteen." Shikamaru said lying down.
"If I did that Iruka would have a heart attack." Naruto mused.
"Is that your guardian?" Neji asked.
"My adoptive father, he's more like a brother to me though but I won't tell him that or he will kill me." Naruto said with a soft smile on his face.
"Do you like it with him?" Kiba asked.
They were all sitting on their beds well aside from Shino and Kiba who were sitting on the floor waiting for Naruto to answer.
"Yeah, he makes me feel welcomed." Naruto said.
"Do you feel welcomed here?" Neji asked.
"Oddly all of us sharing stories that seemed to not be known until said makes me feel like you're all trying to get to know me and that I can make friends for once." Naruto said making everyone smile.
Kiba stood up and walked to Naruto's bed.
"Of course, we are friends now." Kiba said with a smile.
"Guys it is ten minutes to eleven so let's act like we are getting ready to sleep." Shikamaru said after he looked at his watch.
"Would it be okay if I just stay here and actually sleep?" Naruto questioned.
"No!" They all said.
"If I can't you can't." Shikamaru said.
"Okay," Naruto said turning around on his bed to look out the window.
"Random question, I am curious about everyone so answers honestly." Naruto said.
"Yeah?" All of them said.
"What is everyone's preference?" Naruto asked.
"What do you mean?" Lee asked.
"Bi, gay, or straight?" Naruto asked.
"Straight," Shikamaru said.
"Me too," Choji said.
"Maybe it will be easier to say who is all straight?" Naruto asked as he raised his head to see whose hand was up. "Shikamaru, Choji, Neji, Lee, Kiba, and Shino. Now who is gay?" Naruto asked looking around and saw that no one's hands were up. "Who's Bi?" Naruto asked and the other three hands went up.
"What are you?" Sasuke asked and everyone glanced at Naruto.
"I have never met a girl that interested me but I met guys that have." Naruto said as honestly as he could.
"So, you're gay then?" Neji asked.
"I guess unless I find a girl I'm interested in then I will be bi." Naruto said.
"Who is a virgin?" Kiba asked.
"Me," Naruto said.
"I am," Choji said.
"Me too," Gaara said.
"I am as well." Shino mumbled.
Neji and Lee raised their hands basically saying they were also.
"So, four of us aren't virgins." Kiba stated.
"Kiba are you trying to tell me you slept with my cousin?" Neji asked cracking his knuckles.
"No of course not," Kiba said shaking his head quickly.
"So, you're telling me you slept with someone else?" Neji asked stepping closer to him.
"Damn Neji what the hell answer do you want?" Kiba asked backing up.
"Chill out you two." Sasuke said noticing Asuma should be coming soon.
"You guys lights out." Asuma said coming into the room a few seconds later.
Everyone started to lie down.
"Night guys," Asuma said and made his way to the exit saying good night.
"Good night," all of them said aside from Naruto.
When Asuma was gone all of them hopped out of bed. Sasuke pulled at Naruto to bring him by him. Naruto didn't say anything just let Sasuke pull him.
"What does it look like out there?" Shikamaru asked Kiba.
"The coast is clear." Kiba said popping the door open quietly until he noticed the counselor cabin was open and the light was on.
That prevented them from going to the girl's side.
"Never mind not ready." Kiba said pushing back inside.
"Why don't we go out the window? We can go around through the woods area and avoid the cabins altogether." Naruto said.
"That's a great idea. Let's do it." Shikamaru said and followed Naruto to the window.
Naruto walked into a bed post to get caught by Sasuke only for Kiba and Gaara to start giggling trying to control their laughter.
"Shut up you two." Sasuke growled.
"I'll go out first." Naruto said opening the window.
"Okay," Shikamaru said as he pulled Kiba to the front of them all so he could go after Naruto.
After everyone got out the window everyone was running through the woods laughing quietly with Kiba leading the way. When they saw the girl's side they noticed that the girls were just getting night checked so they had to wait. They made it behind Temari's cabin as they heard the counselor leave the room they opened the window with a small whistle to let the girls know they were there.
Kiba climbed in quietly rolling toward the bed closest to the window. One by one everyone was going in it ended up being Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Naruto being the last three outside the window when Naruto saw a flashlight coming toward them so his first instinct was to push Sai in the window and pull Shikamaru and Sasuke away toward the woods area so they wouldn't be seen. Sai was going to pop his head out the window and scream at them for pushing him in when he saw the light so he ran toward the beds so he would be hidden by a suitcase.
"What happened?" Kiba asked Sai.
"Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Naruto are all outside. Someone pushed me in and I noticed that a counselor was coming." Sai whispered back.
"Shut up you two." Neji whispered.
That was when they heard steps coming to the door of the cabin.
"Ladies, it's dangerous to have the window open this wide at night because animals could climb in." The counselor said.
"Sorry Kurenai it's that I get really hot and I'm on the top bunk." Temari lied.
"It's fine to keep it open just make sure not that much." Kurenai said.
"Okay," Temari said nodding her head.
"Good night ladies." Kurenai said as she walked out the door again.
The moment they heard her leave off the stairs they all let go of the breath they were holding at the same time. Temari jumped off her bed to call Shikamaru back over to the window. She was so sure it was Shikamaru who pushed Sai in and noticed Kurenai coming.
"Come on Shika," she whispered out the window.
All three heads popped out the bushes they were hiding in and walked up to the window.
"Fuck that was a good save Naruto." Sasuke said.
"Who pushed me in the window?" Sai asked coming to the window as Temari sat there shocked by what she heard because she expected it to be her boyfriend.
"That was me, my bad I had to think fast." Naruto said as he hopped in the window after Shikamaru did.
He turned immediately to help Sasuke get in the window.
"Thanks," Sasuke said dusting his clothes off.
"Okay everyone this is..." Kiba started.
"Naruto," Naruto said.
"I am shocked all of you actually came but we got some liquor. I snuck it in here but don't say anything." Temari said.
"Of course," Gaara said glaring at Kiba.
"What? I just want to be here with Hinata." Kiba defended.
Neji growled at Kiba.
"Not you too," Kiba grumbled.
"We should all have someone in our bed just in case she comes." Temari suggested.
"I call Sasuke!" Sakura and Ino said at the same time.
"I'm with Hinata." Neji said.
"I am not going to be with another girl in the bed so, no you're not." Kiba said.
"I am going to sit by the window." Naruto said breaking the fight.
"Neji you're with me." Tenten said.
"You can be with me. I promise I won't try anything if that's what you're thinking." A beautiful red head said coming up to Naruto.
"What's your name?" Naruto asked.
"Kurama," Kurama said.
"Nice to meet you I'm Naruto." Naruto said holding out his hand properly.
"Nice to meet you too." Kurama said pulling away from the window.
"I guess I will take you up on your offer than." Naruto said making eye contact with Sasuke and Shikamaru.
"Shion I'm with you." Sasuke said making Ino and Sakura irritated.
The pairs were set after a few stopped complaining or arguing. It ended up being Hinata and Kiba, Tenten and Neji, Temari and Shikamaru, Sakura and Lee, Ino and Sai, Shion and Sasuke, Kurama and Naruto, Fu and Gaara, Kurai and Choji, and Tamaki and Shino.
"Where are the drinks at?" Sai asked.
They got to passing and drinking all talking about themselves. After a while Naruto found himself uncomfortable not because of her but because he didn't feel well-being by someone like that. He found it amazing that he thought the girl was very pretty. He loved her red hair because it reminded him of his mother.
"Naruto, this is Kurama's first year here too." Temari said daggling off the bed while Shikamaru held onto her.
"That's cool," Naruto said. "Umm... do you guys mind if I go back to the cabin?" Naruto asked really uncomfortable.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked sitting up.
"Yeah I'm fine just wanted to get some sleep." Naruto said.
Naruto didn't drink anything even though they thought he did. He wasn't a drinker and didn't want to drink with this many people to begin with.
"Okay, we will be back to the cabin in an hour okay so leave the window open and don't get caught." Shikamaru said.
"Okay," Naruto said nodding his head and hopping right out the window.
"Kurama did he drink any?" Temari asked.
"No," Kurama said shaking her head quickly.
"I'm going to make sure, he gets back." Sasuke said getting up and walking to the window.
They all grunted not really caring if he left. By the time Sasuke got near the cabin he saw Naruto talking to Kakashi.
"Let me call him." Naruto pleaded.
"Sure, Naruto come on. But this can't be an everyday thing." Kakashi said.
"I understand," Naruto said as he follows him.
Sasuke made it so he started to follow them without being noticed but realized he wouldn't be able to that soon because it was in the open where there going so he went back to the cabin and waited.
(Phone Call)
"Iruka are you awake?" Naruto asked.
"Yes Naruto or I wouldn't have answered the phone with you." Iruka said. "What's wrong that you're calling when you should be asleep? Is someone teasing you? Did you not make friends?" Iruka asked like the worry wart he is.
"No, no one is teasing me or I would have already got kicked out for fighting." Naruto said.
"Then why are you calling me so late?" Iruka asked curiously.
"I missed you and wanted to talk to you." Naruto said softly.
"I miss you too Naruto but it only has been one day." Iruka said softly.
Honestly Iruka was shocked to hear Naruto say that he missed him.
"The time will go by so quick if you have fun and make friends. Have you made any friends?" Iruka asked.
"Yeah the people in my cabin are nice." Naruto said with a soft smile appearing on his face.
"That's good; you should really get some sleep." Iruka said.
"Okay," Naruto said about to hand the phone to Kakashi before he got back on the phone with him. "I love you Iruka and good night." Naruto said and handed the phone to Kakashi without hearing the reply back and ran out the room to sit outside on the stairs.
(Phone Call Ended)
"So you can go back to your cabin now. I will watch you from here. Run so we don't get caught doing this." Kakashi said pushing Naruto toward the direction of his cabin.
"Yeah," Naruto said starting to head off before he looked back with a smile on his face. "Thanks Kakashi," Naruto said and then he ran off toward his cabin leaving Kakashi with a shocked face not believing what just happened.
When Naruto got back into the cabin he noticed that no was back.
"Did you get caught?" Sasuke asked scaring Naruto.
"We all almost did. I saw him heading to our door and climbed through the window and got to the door just in time to make it seem like I was going to find him to talk to Iruka... and I wanted to talk to Iruka so it was a win win either way." Naruto explained.
"Good catch," Sasuke said.
"What are you doing back here?" Naruto asked as he walked to his bed.
"I wanted to make sure you were good. You okay?" Sasuke asked as he sat on his bed.
"Just thinking about a lot of things. That girl... she reminded me of my mother." Naruto said as he looked out the window as he laid there.
"What? Kurama? Did she say something?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"My mom had red hair too." Naruto said softly but seeing as it was so quiet Sasuke heard him perfectly.
"They say I look a lot like my mother and I don't even know what to say when they say it. I was always close to my mother and brother." Sasuke said.
"I don't know who I was close to because they died when I was six but I always remember me being on my dad's back and my mom always being there when I cried saying I am a strong boy so I shouldn't cry over getting an injury." Naruto said chuckling with a smile.
"I remember lectures from my father and I remember my mother's smile clearly in my head. Whenever I do something that I know she would be proud of I see her smile in my head still to this day." Sasuke said.
"That's cool I wish I could do that. I only had books, games, and studies in the beginning because no one ever wanted to spend any time with me. I got adopted by Iruka at thirteen. It was three years of him trying to get me to open up. For the first year I didn't even talk. I honestly thought Iruka would get sick of me." Naruto said.
"You don't get sick of someone you love. You get annoyed but not sick." Sasuke said.
"Yeah, I definitely annoy him." Naruto said with a smile.
That sentence led to a comfortable silence between the two of them.
"I hope we can be good friends." Naruto said.
"Yeah me too," Sasuke said with a warm smile that no one ever really seen.
"Night Sasuke," Naruto said.
"Night," Sasuke said curling more into his blanket.
These two wasn't sure what drew the other to them but they liked the comfort they got from it. Sasuke never felt like he could talk to anyone about his parents until now. He never even talked to his best friends Jugo and Suigetsu about it. This was definitely different between them and they both liked it a lot.

Let me know what you think after all this time of not writing this story. I know I had a some set stories that I was supposed to be writing but I think having set stories keeps me from posting the stories like this one right away.
I hope all of you enjoyed it.
