Hello again! I've been writing again and I hope to continue! Right now I'm having a writing contest with my friend "The Tobi". So far I'm ahead, but I don't know how long that will last so I have to keep writing!

Thanks for reading and I hope you guys know that this will be a Yaoi. Don't like don't read.


Naruto opened his eyes seconds after his mind woke up. As was his habit, instead of staying there and thinking over his dream or pondering the meaning like some people would do, he got out of bed and quickly got ready for the day.

He checked his watch, another very old possession given to him by Anko. It was a dull black color, rather chunky and large on his wrist but he was use to it. The watch said that it was 5:30. Naruto knew that it was always 5:30 when he woke up, but he always checked to make sure that his internal alarm was working. If it was off by even a minute, he would have to start using the shrill beeping of the watch to wake him up in time. Every minute counted to him.

Within minutes he was dressed, his sleeping bag was rolled up, and his lantern was inside his bag. Though it was still dark inside the room, he didn't need the lantern because a little sliver of light came into the room from under the door. Because it was so early, he was positive that the little light he had was from the sun streaming into the hallway from the window across the hall. He was lucky for any light at this time of day, but the widow faced the east so he got the sunrise.

With the sunlight came the heat. Naruto didn't like summer, but he knew that it was always worse in winter. Most people liked winter best, because they only had to add more layers, but unlike most people he only had three. Now in the summer, people wanted to wear the least amount of clothes and he could do that easily.

Naruto shook his head at his thoughts. Now that he thought about it, he didn't like winter or summer. He liked the time in between best, the time that was neither warm nor cold. Those were always the best times. Except when it rained…..

He walked to the door. With a turn of the knob, he pushed the door open enough to let the cooler air from the hallway into his room. He would close it at 6, before the Doe couple woke up. They had told him at the start to keep his door closed. Of course, they had no idea how hot it was in the room, probably never staying in it for more than a few seconds. They couldn't have known how horrible it was, and in truth Naruto was barely aware of the discomfort.

Naruto sat down on his rolled up sleeping bag and waited for 6. With nothing to do, he looked off into space and started to paint a picture in his mind. He had learned over the years that it was smarter to draw in his mind than on paper. Sure he drew well, but more often than not his pictures were taken and paper and ink was another thing that he couldn't waste his money on.

A few minutes before 6, Naruto got up and closed the door. Just as he was sitting back down, the door opened again.

"Come here boy. Bring your stuff with you." Mr. Doe said coldly. As Naruto put his backpack on and got his sleeping bag, Mr. Doe sneered at him in hatred.

Naruto wordlessly left the room and headed for the living room, where he could hear a very angry Anko arguing with Mrs. Doe or, to be more precise, Anko yelling at Mrs. Doe. Anko looked the same as she always had; black spiky hair that looked purple up in a ponytail, brown eyes that streamed fire at her victims, a tan overcoat that made Naruto think of a private eye, and some kind of skin tight outfit underneath. She was also spitting mad.

"What kind of people are you that you can't give him a second chance?! He's a great kid and if you don't see that then you don't deserve him!" Anko saw Naruto in the doorway and stomped over to him. "We are going!" She grabbed his arm and pulled him all the way out of the house. He was dragged to her car, a sleek black ford that was Anko's baby, and left by the passenger's door to get in while Anko stalked to her side. Naruto opened the door and slid into the car.

Anko got behind the wheel and started driving. She didn't speak, leaving Naruto to an awkward silence. Naruto looked out the window, twitched, and tried to keep his mouth shut. Of course, he didn't last very long at all.

"So where am I going now?" He asked, knowing that she was taking him to the waiting house but wanting to talk about something.

"I'm taking you to a new home." Anko said sharply. Naruto's turned to look at her with wide eyes, ignoring her tone and focusing on the words.

"A new home? What do you mean?" Naruto was very confused. "Doesn't it take days to find a new home?"

"Yes, it usually does. It just so happens that I was on my way to get you before the Does called me. I was going to talk to you about it and see if you wanted to go, but now you have no other option. You have to go now." Anko's mouth was set in a thin line, a more stubborn person Naruto had never met. Well, other than himself.

Naruto looked down, trying to look remorseful. In truth he was relieved to be out of the little bad smelling room and now it seemed that he wouldn't have to go to the waiting house. The whole day seemed brighter.

"So where is this new home?" Naruto asked after a moment of silence.

"I can't tell you. Truth be told, I have no idea where it is." Anko didn't seem to think that this was a big deal. Naruto thought differently.

"Wait, what? You don't know where this home is and you want to send me there? That's crazy!" Naruto was also a little intrigued. Anko wasn't the type to go into things blind, and if she didn't know where this place was there had to be a really good reason behind it.

"Well, it isn't really a house. I got a call two days ago from an old school friend and it turns out that she opened up a school. She asked me if I had any special young men that needed a home. I though instantly about you and told her a little about you. I know you well enough to know that you wouldn't be staying at the Doe's house for very long, but this is a record. You've only been there for three days!"

"It isn't my fault! There was a rug-"

"Another? What is it with you and rugs?!?" Naruto looked down. He was not going to tell her the real reason.

"It just looked so ugly I couldn't help but get rid of it. If you think about it, I did the Doe family a favor!"

"Sure." Anko didn't sound like she believed it.

"Anyway, why is this person looking for guys? That's a little creepy." He also felt a bigger lift in his spirits when he realized that Anko thought of him when asked about someone special. Whatever her definition of special, it didn't matter to him. The fact that she thought of him when not around him or doing something for him made Naruto's heart lighter.

"The school is an all boy school." Anko rolled her eyes and waved away another thing that seemed like a very big problem to Naruto. His heart became heavier. "Anyway, she was interested and made an offer I knew you would love."

"My own room?" He asked, not very hopeful. Chances were it was some poor school that needed more kids or it would close down. There was almost no hope for a room without a roommate. His roommate would smoke pot and get drunk on a regular basis and invite his friends over and through wild parties. The room would most likely be boiling in the summer and freezing in the winter and worst of all it would most likely smell terrible. Naruto sometimes had to cures his good sense of smell.

"Not only do you get your own room, but she said that if you enroll for her school your room and board will be covered, along with food costs and classes. The school will even offer you ten thousand dollars a month for going there. For that kind of deal, I would gladly give up my job and go back to school."

Naruto didn't answer. His mouth was opened in shock, his eyes glazed as he thought of all that money. With that kind of money, he could finally have the one wish, the only one he allowed himself, come true. He could even allow himself more dreams, as that kind of money could let him do anything. He could probably take over the world with that kind of cash.

"What's the catch?" He wasn't as stupid as people thought. Everything in life came with a catch, and one hundred twenty thousand dollars a year sounded like something that would have a big catch.

"As long as you keep your grades up, you'll be a rich man. They have some more rules that will be explained when you get there, but other than that I wasn't told much. So what do you have to say?" Naruto grinned at her. Though he knew there had to be more, it sounded so nice. Too good to be true, but he figured he had nothing to lose.

"When do I get to go?"


YEAH! I might actually get him to the school sometime this week!

I just realized something..... I have some strange obsession with all boy schools... that's strange.... oh well, it makes for some fun stories.

Please review so I can feel the love! And I thank all of you who have already reviewed!

Love!
