OMG I am soooo sorry that I updated this so late. I've been extremely busy what with my grandma being in the hospital for her diabetes and sports and Leadership camp and such. But here is the next chapter in Naruto's POV. Now I will try as hard as I can to keep this updated on a regular basis, if not just be patient. I am not giving up on this story anytime soon.
Slowly, my eyes opened and I stared at the ceiling. I slammed my fist against the damned alarm clock. Nearly falling on my face climbing out of bed, I walked over and pulled out some clean clothes. I quickly pulled on a pair of dark jeans and a white shirt. I reached behind my bedroom door and grabbed my favorite orange hoodie. "Naruto!" I heard my adopted father, Iruka, shout. "What?" I yelled as I yanked my door open. "Come eat!" He shouted. I dashed down the stairs and into the kitchen. On my way to the table I snatched the plate full of awaiting pancakes from Iruka's hand. I drowned the poor pancakes in syrup and shoveled the food into my mouth. Iruka sighed. "If you keep eating like that you're going to get sick." He said and sat down. I just looked up at him and shrugged. "Oh, after school we're going over to Kakashi's house for dinner. He has someone he wants you to meet so be nice." Iruka said and took a bite of his pancakes. 'He wants me to be nice to some kid I don't know?' I laughed at the thought. Iruka gave me a questioning look. "I have to eat Kakashi's horrible cooking?" I asked quickly. "His cooking isn't horrible." Iruka defended and blushed. Smiling, I took my plate to the sink. Iruka has liked Kakashi for as long as I could remember. "Well, I'll try my best." I stated and went to finish getting ready for school. Ten minutes later I was out the door and down the street.
"Naruto!" I turned around and was hugged by my pink headed friend. "Good morning Sakura." I said as I awkwardly hugged her back. "Did you hear?" She asked excitedly. I just stared at her. She's never been this excited about something before. "Hear what?" I asked as I continued walking. "That there is a new kid coming into town! Kakashi-Sensei adopted him!" She squealed. So that's why Iruka told me to be nice. Out of experience I know what it's like being adopted and coming into a new family. Never knowing how your new family might act, if they like you or not. "Oh, yea. I'm going over there tonight." Her jaw dropped. "What?" I asked. "You get to meet him first." She whined. "Oh." I pulled open the door to the school. Sakura nodded her head. As we turned down the hall to get to class, the bell rang. We sprinted the rest of our way to class. "Nice of you to join us." Our teacher snapped as soon as I opened the door. "Sorry Kurenai-Sensei." We mumbled and sat down at our seats. There was a quiet whimper as my friend Kiba shifted in his seat. I gave him a questioning look. "Akamaru won't stay still." He whispered as he shoved the tiny white dog back in his jacket. "Why did you bring him to school then?" I said and laughed as he tucked the little tail into the jacket as well. "Because he wants to come." He said.
I shook my head as I wrote down the math problems that were on the board. Kiba swears that he can talk to his dog and that he talks back. I think he's been hit upside the head one too many times. The rest of the day slowly ticked by, and I was so not looking forward to meeting this new kid. What if he was a total dick? I kept picturing this evening in my head as I marched through the front door of my house. "Did you have a good day at school?" Iruka said smiling. Looking up, I smiled and nodded. "Why don't you go get ready? We are leaving in an hour." He said and walked up the stairs. I slowly followed after him and walked into my room. Stopping in front of my mirror I took a quick glance into it. "I think I look fine." I huffed and walked back downstairs. For the next hour I did my homework while Iruka rushed around the house getting ready and cleaning a few things here and there.
"Let's go Naruto!" Iruka yelled as snatched his coat out of the closet and marched to the front door. I slipped on my hoodie and followed after him. "So you excited about meeting Sasuke?" Iruka asked. "Oh, so that's what his name is?" I asked. Iruka nodded his head. "He's your age and will be starting school with you next week." He said as we slowly walked up Kakashi's porch steps. I reached over and rang the doorbell. The door swung open to reveal a smiling silver-headed man. "Hiya Kakashi!" I chirped as he ushered Iruka and I in. "Nice to see you again Naruto. You didn't get in trouble again today did you?" Kakashi asked. Iruka laughed and I glared at him. All of a sudden Kakashi looked up the stair case. "Sasuke, come on down." I whipped my head around to look at a boy my age. He had midnight blue hair that was spiked in the back. He was wearing a black pair of shorts and a light blue shirt. His eyes were a handsome onyx color. There was darkness in his eyes. They seemed so distant. I felt bad; I wanted to know what had happened at his old home. "Sasuke, this is Iruka," Kakashi said as he motioned towards Iruka," And this is Naruto." Sasuke's eyes rested upon me. I felt my heart flutter. The look he gave me looked so loving. But as soon as that thought rolled through my mind I felt disgusted. I just snorted and turned my head away.
"Naruto, don't be so rude." Iruka whispered harshly to me. I looked back at the boy and mumbled, "Hi." "Sasuke, they are staying for dinner tonight. I hope you don't mind. Also you and Naruto will be going to school together." Kakashi said and rushed into the kitchen. "School has started already but it's only the third week, so you haven't missed much." Iruka said as he smiled at the boy. The fire alarm went off just then. All three heads turned towards the kitchen. Black smoke was rising out of the kitchen. Iruka then stalked off mumbling about how Kakashi always burns food. I looked back at Sasuke. He really wasn't that bad looking. "Has anyone ever told you staring is rude?" Sasuke asked as I continued to stare at him. I quickly looked away trying to hide the blush on my cheeks. "Weirdo." I heard him mumble as he slowly walked into the living room. "What was that teme?" I asked as I followed after him, anger flaring through me. "I called you a weirdo got a problem with that?" He asked as he plopped down on the couch. "Yea I do." I barked and glared at him. He just glared right back at me. That sent me over the edge. I leapt over the couch and tackled that smartass to the ground and pinned him there. "Get off me." He growled and shoved me off of him. I got to my feet and so did Sasuke.
"Why so angry dobe?" He asked. "Because you keep calling me names!" I yelled. He just smirked. I tried as best as I could to keep my jaw from dropping. What a gorgeous smirk he had. "Are we really that sensitive?" Sasuke asked. I let out a low growl as I tackled him to the floor again. I felt his foot connect with my stomach, sending me tumbling backwards. I crashed into one of the end tables by the loveseat. The lamp on said table started to sway dangerously. The lamp finally fell over the edge. "Catch it you baka!" Sasuke yelled, panic and worry tainting his voice. I quickly turned around and reached for the lamp, but it slipped right passed the tips of my fingers. "Ah, shit." I mumbled. The lamp collided with the ground in a loud crash. Iruka then ran into the room. "What happened?" He asked. I was scared right now. Who knows how angry Kakashi might get. That guy gets really scary when he's angry. Iruka looked at the shattered glass by my foot. "Why is the lamp broken?" He asked. "Naruto attacked me so I fought back and he broke the lamp." I heard Sasuke say. Iruka glared at me and I looked over at him with my jaw hitting the floor. That teme quickly walked out of the room.
"Why did you break that lamp?" Iruka yelled at me as soon as Sasuke left the room. "Sasuke was pissing me off so I tackled him to the ground. Then he kicked in the stomach and I stumbled back and bumped into the table which in turn knocked the lamp over. Plus I think he bruised my stomach!" I said and lifted up my shirt to show him my perfectly non-bruised stomach. Iruka shook his head. "You need to be more careful Naruto. You can't just pick fights with people." Iruka said as he bent down and gathered the shards. I bit my tongue to hold back the string of curse words that were ready to fly out of my mouth. "Fine." I sighed and helped pick up the glass shards. We finally got all the glass picked up. "Why don't you sit down and watch T.V until dinner is ready." Iruka said as he handed me the T.V remote. I just nodded my head. Iruka walked out of the room to help Kakashi finish dinner.
I laid down on the couch, thoughts flying through my head, Thoughts like, am I really gay? And if so, do I really like that smartass Sasuke? Before I knew it, it was time for dinner. I jumped up from the couch and waltzed into the kitchen. I plopped down in a seat right next to Iruka. A minute later Sasuke walked into the kitchen. As he walked to his seat he glared at me. I kicked him in the shin as soon as he sat down. I watched him look down at his spaghetti. His eyes filled with joy at the sight of the food. "Yum." He said and he hurried to pick up his fork. 'I bet I could eat more than that brat.' I thought. I quickly dug into my food. I just kept shoveling forkful after forkful of spaghetti into my mouth. "More please!" I yelled but soon found out that I wasn't the only one that said it. He turned to glare at me as I did the same. "Shut it dobe." He spat. "Why don't you teme?" I growled. I heard Kakashi sigh and then more spaghetti was piled onto my plate. I quickly shoveled the food into my mouth. "My, what an appetite he has." I heard Iruka say. We both finished at the same time again. "Stop eating fatty." I yelled. "Make me!" He barked. "More!" We both yelled. Kakashi didn't seem too happy about giving up all of the food to Sasuke and I. I think it was by our fourth plate that we were both clutching our stomachs in pain. "M-More.." I heard Sasuke groan.
Kakashi laughed and looked at him. "I would but there is no more." I watched as Sasuke looked into the pot. "Heh, well, Naruto and I should be going. He has school tomorrow anyway. Let's go Naruto." I heard Iruka say just as I was about to launch myself at Sasuke again. I loved pinning that kid down. I shook my head and followed after Iruka. Iruka pushed me out the door. "Thanks for the dinner Kakashi. I'll see you tomorrow." Iruka said and shut the door after himself. "You are such a brat sometimes." Iruka laughed. I just stuck my tongue out at him. "I really do hope you could be nicer to him. He went through a lot before he got here." Iruka said with sadness in his eyes. Immediately I felt bad. Maybe I should have been nicer and not let the kid get on my nerves. I sighed. "I'll make it up to him." I said quietly. Iruka smiled down at me. "That's nice to hear." Iruka said as he pulled out his keys to the house. He swiftly unlocked the door and followed me inside. "Hey I'm going to go to bed. Please don't stay up to late." Iruka said and walked up the stairs. I slowly walked into the kitchen and gathered my school books and stuffed them in my bag. 'Am I really falling for Sasuke?' I questioned myself. "Sasuke really isn't that bad. I could see it in his eyes a couple of times when I pinned him down." I said to myself, answering the question in my head.
Angrily, I threw my bag to the floor. Nothing is making sense! "I can't be possibly falling for someone I just met." I growled and stomped up the stairs and to my room. I yanked open my dresser drawers and pulled out a pair of pajama bottoms and a plain white shirt. Pulling on the clothes I shut off my light and walked over to my bed. I tore the blanket down from my bed and crawled onto it. I pulled the blanket over my head and tried to not think about the amazing kid I met that night. My mind betrayed me and thoughts and images of the raven haired boy came to mind as I drifted off to sleep with a smile plastered on my face.
So I hope this was worth yalls long wait. If not I'm terribly sorry. But like I said before just be patient with my uploading. The soccer season is almost over and I should be updating almost every week by then. So until next time happy reading! =]
