Naruto tiptoed across the small living room and down the hall. Right when he was about to open his bedroom door, a hand pulled him backwards.
Naruto faced a tall familiar figure… Minato, his father… with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Naruto…" Minato's slurred voice called out, which strongly smelled of alcohol, Naruto grimaced.
Minato pinned him against the blood-stained wall, which creaked slightly with the added pressure.
"You've been a bad boy."
Naruto whimpered silently, knowing what was going to happen next.
His body was thrown against his bedroom door, which collapsed. Naruto tried to get up, but Minato pulled him to his face. "Leaving so early this morning…" he continued.
He punched hard into Naruto's stomach, and then threw him once more to the floor. Naruto let out a gasp. His arms instinctively wrapped around his stomach. Then, Minato kicked hard on his son's chest, as well as stomping down on Naruto's legs. He grabbed the cigarette from his mouth, and pressed hard on Naruto's forearm, leaving a burn.
Naruto bit his lips hard, trying to fight back a river of tears, which seemed to be collected at the edge of his eyes.
With obvious satisfaction of his job, Minato left the injured boy on the floor without any regrets whatsoever.
Naruto blinked back tears and somewhat dragged himself to the bathroom. He treated his wounds carefully, so as not to agitate it.
Once done, he grabbed some money and adjusted his backpack. He quietly walked to the front door, when some dishes were thrown his way. Naruto barely dodged them, and limped out the door.
He jogged slightly, but quickened his pace.
After awhile, He came to a library, when he halted to a stop. Catching his breath, he opened the door, and sat on a chair nearby the library café.
Setting his backpack to the floor, Naruto took out his homework. Writing out equations for math, writing notes for history, and completing a worksheet for science. In about 2 hours, Naruto finished his homework.
Iruka, the librarian walked up to Naruto.
"Naruto, the library is closing in a half hour. Need a place to stay for the night?"
"No, but thanks."
"You sure? I'm fine with having you for the night, as well as my boyfriend."
Naruto smiled genuinely, but shook his head.
"I'm sure. Thanks, Iruka."
Iruka smiled and patted Naruto's blonde hair. Naruto scowled, but gave a small laugh.
Naruto packed his backpack with his homework. He slung it over his shoulder and left with a small goodbye to Iruka.
WITH SASUKE
Sasuke listened to his iPod as he lay on his bed. Rock music rang loudly in his ears. He drummed his hands on his knees in harmony with the music he was currently listening to.
Glancing at the clock, Sasuke determined it was time for some dinner. He turned his iPod off and jogged downstairs to the kitchen. Opening the fridge door, it was quite obvious that a trip to the grocery store was necessary, or maybe it was probably some fast-food for dinner.
Sasuke chose the latter. He shoved a five dollar bill in his pocket and walked out the front door.
He grabbed his motorcycle that rested on the wall. He got on and rode down the dark street… Maybe he could get something at the café in the local library.
On the drive there, Sasuke was thinking of something, or rather someone. Yes, you guessed it. Number One Unpredictable Knuckle-Headed Nin- I mean, Kid, Naruto…
Maybe I could visit Naruto… Wait, I don't even know where he lives… You'd think that after awhile, I would know… Hm… Some great friend I am. Hm… Wait… every time I would ask the dobe for his address or something, he would either ignore me, or change the subject… Why wouldn't the dobe want me to know where he lives?
With this revelation Sasuke skidded to a stop, in the local park. A lot of possible reasons ran through his head, but none of which would make the least bit sense.
Sasuke shook his head, and parked his bike. Maybe a small walk will make things somewhat alright.
With Naruto
Naruto walked alone on the empty sidewalk. His legs seemed to move on its own, until it subconsciously stopped in front of the local park…
Memories overcame him, racing at the speed of light. This pace used to be his refuge whenever he needed to get away from it all. HE used to come here when he had problems with his father, from loneliness he often had used to face, as well as pain itself.
He stepped forward and walked up to the swings. Naruto sat on one, swinging himself.
The sun eventually dipped down into the horizon, revealing a multitude of dazzling stars and the luminous moon in the middle of it all.
After awhile, he jumped off, miraculously landing on his feet, but he was painfully reminded he got hurt earlier that day. Naruto's legs gave way, and he feel to the ground. His hands wrapped around his wounded legs. Maybe he bruised the bone or something like that.
After a moment, Naruto got back up, brushing the dirt and grass off his jeans… Grabbing his backpack, he walked to a nearby willow tree.
Its branched stretched to the floor, with leaves swaying to the slight breeze, brushing the floor as it moves. Naruto dropped his bag, and leaned on the trunk of the tree.
Naruto closed his eyes, letting out a deep breath.
"What are you doing here, dobe?" Naruto opened his eyes and looked around and saw Sasuke, standing a few feet away… Great… Just great.
Will Sasuke uncover the truth? Or will he be left in the dark? Tune in next time, at "Home is my Hell."
By the way, I need more pictures, because my stupid teacher says I do. Along with something about making the scrapbook including some information about stuff… How the hell is a scrapbook supposed to have information about Manifest Destiny and crap like that? Okay, I'm done ranting…
Naruto: Reviews are like her cigarettes. So review, or she might go crazy.
Crowd: WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?!
Sasuke: You didn't hear us?
Crowd: NO!
Naruto: Told you the sound proof jutsu would work this time!
Sasuke: -nods-
Me: I bet you missed them!
