I sat in the Principal's office with Naruto when he said something that cut me off guard.

He asked, "Do you know about "them" yet?"

I was confused so I shook my head no and went back to minding my business. "Them"? Who is "them"? I tried to ignore it as best as I could and right then the Principle picked us up from her office. As we walked out of the building and into the parking lot I saw that same boy I had run into earlier with a red haired guy. His hair stretched down about shoulder length, and he was very pail with lavender colored irises. Their was something about him that made want to go over to him but I wasn't sure of what that something was. When his head slightly turned and his eyes met mine, I automatically looked down to the cement parking lot and picked up my pace.

I thrashed myself inside the Principle's car and we rode on home. I had to admit even when I got to the apartment,I still had those two boys in my mind. Reason why: Unknown. There was nothing more frustrating than that. Naruto threw his bag on the ground and flopped onto the couch. Now he was going to watch TV instead of studying or doing homework? I mean I know I do that but I at least finish it and turn in my homework with something written on it. But no, he as I sat and started doing homework but he was so tired that he fell asleep in the middle of finishing.

After I finished my homework, I decided to make some ramen for the both of us even though Naruto still hadn't awoken. He slept like a peaceful cat on the floor and talked a few words once or twice. Not until around nine at night did he finally awake and realize he had fallen asleep. I laughed at his late reaction and handed him his dinner. I guess staying with a funny, stupid guy like him wasn't that bad after all. He acted differently at "home" than he did at school, I'm pretty sure it was because of Sasuke, but I was content with his treatment towards me at least.

When it was time for bed, I walking into my room and climbed into bed then fell asleep. The usual nighmares occured and I was up at about one in the morning. I went into the living room got and turned on the TV because I couldn't sleep anymore due to my nightmares. An hour went by and I heard a door open, it was Naruto.

"What are you doing up so early?" He asked after he used the restroom.

"Couldn't sleep," I replied,

He yawned and asked sleepily, "Does that happen often?"

I nodded, "Every night. I'm usually up at about one or two in the morning and stay that way until the next evening."

"Why?"

"Because it does..." I didn't want to tell him it was because of my torturous nightmares. I had a feeling he would make fun of me or something.

"I know there's a real reason. Tell me!" He yelled.

"No, it my reason and I can choose to say it or not!" I yelled back.

"Tell Me!" He yelled again.

"No," I yelled back again and I slapped his face. "I said I didn't want to tell you so leave me alone!"

Another door opened and Principle Tsunade, frustrated, came out in her nightgown, "What is going on here?"

"Naruko's been up since one in the morning and she won't tell me why." Naruto said angrily and he marched to Miss Tsunade's side.

"Oh, I had received a message from your former foster parents informing me of that," Tsunade remembered as she stared at me with sleepy eyes.

"Nightmares?" She asked.

I nodded. Naruto looked confused.

"Take your medication then."

"No, I don't want to." I pouted.

"What medication? What nightmares?" Naruto asked.

"She suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. And from that look in your eyes I can tell you have a headache right now. Go take your medication!" Tsunade ordered.

"No, I won't! You wouldn't understand!" I yelled at her. My headache grew as I yelled more and started to become dizzy.

"Really? Tell me then what I wouldn't understand and then you'll be able to judge weather I'm able to understand or not." Tsunade said, very unpleased with her.

"My nightmares are the only memory I have to the past and if I erase them then what? Erase who I was and who existed then? They also help me make better choices and not make the same wrong ones." Tears swelled in my eyes. I hadn't been this honest with someone since...well since never.

"Fine if you won't take your medication, I guess I'm going to have to force you to." Tsunade then took a pill out of the bottle that was hidden in the high cabinets and lunged for me.

I scrammed but she caught me ankle and I fell face flat on the the ground. Tsunade forcibly held me down with her arm. Kicking and thrashing, I tried to get away but it was no use. I screamed and that was when she dropped the pill down my throat. When she got off of me I ran away from her and into the shoe closet where I locked myself in and started to cry. I had just started to like my new "home" but now I regretted even mentioning that I could consider liking it.

Their was a knock on the closet door, "Naruko are you okay?" It was Naruto!

"Go away!" I cried.

"Naruko get out from there!" Now it was Tsunade yelling.

"No, I hate you and I never want to see your face again, you cold-hearted bitch!"

"What did you call me?!"

"You heard me or are you so old you need to get a hearing aid you, slutty hoe!" With that last insult Tsunade ripped open the door. I could see Naruto laughing on the ground.

"I don't ever want to hear you use such vulgar language towards me again! Now go to bed!"

I made it half to the hall when everything turned dark.

Naruto caught Naruko before she fell on her face again. Tsunade help him carry her to her bed and before they knew it she was quietly tucked into bed, sleeping. Tsunade thought that this way, Naruko looked like a sleeping angel. When Tsunade closed the door to the girl's room, she huffed loudly and sat against the wall. She wondered if this episode was going to be a habit with Naruko. She liked the girl but she didn't know if she could put up with these nightly tantumes.

Naruto put a hand on her shoulder, "Are you okay, Grandma Tsunade?"

She nodded, "Yeah. Can I ask you for a favor Naruto?"

"Sure."

"Could you look after her when I'm not able to?"

Naruto thought about it and agreed that he would only because she was living with them.

As Tsunade headed back to her room, Naruto asked why the girl had the disorder at such a young age. Tsunade told him she's had it since sh was nine and that she had had a troublesome past. That was all though. Tsunade decided that if Naruko wanted to tell people about her past then that would be her decision to make not her own.

I awoke unusually calm that morning. It was weird I felt at ease and after I took a shower I still felt weird. I cam out to the kitchen all ready to go to school when Naruto stopped me.

"Are you okay,Naruko?"

I looked at him funny. Was I okay? What kind of a question was that?, "Yeah, why wouldn't I be okay?"

"Well last night," He was cut off by Tsunade cupping his mouth with her hand,

"Last night you made delicious ramen. I think it was the best Naruto and I have ever tasted." She said.

Naruto looked confused. "Yeah it was really good but-" Tsunade then with her five-inch heels stomped on Naruto's foot. He cried out in pain. I just rolled my eyes because whatever they were doing was getting weirder by the second.

"Miss Tsunade I'm going to wait out by your car then."

When the door shut behind Naruko, Tsunade exhaled.

"Naruto, you can't tell Naruko what happened to her last night. That's the whole point to the medication." Tsunade said.

"I still don't understand."

"The medication is supposed to help prevent the nightmares from coming but the side effect is memory loss. She only remembers up to a certain point about last night and then that's it nothing. She probably thinks that she fell asleep again. So don't mention anything to her about it."

Naruto agreed and they both headed out to join up with Naruko who had been waiting by the car.
