Well, got one review so far, so yeah that's something! Thanks for the questions as well. After I start getting enough answers I'll personally respond to each request via a PM. Plus if you review with a question your name could end up in a chapter! To answer: darkhuntressxir question. I am not sure for either. Honestly when I wrote this the first time I left out a lot but I'll come up with something. Now lets try to get more reviews! See how fast this update came? It was because of the review.
It had been a week since I arrived at the orphanage and I have already been feeling home sick. Both brothers are so kind and really are trying to make this move as comfortable for me as possible… though it's Kiba that's really putting in a lot of effort. He's even helping me with some math school work. I was never good at math and when they started to add letters it has just been confusing.
"Hey Naruto, Shikamaru and I are going to go the park for a bit, you want to tag along?" I looked up from my notebook and faced towards the door. I nodded my head smiling. Even though I was missing my old home I did enjoy spending time with the two brothers. Kiba was the though one of the two. When I am around him I feel safe. On my second day when I was getting picked on by someone else here it was Kiba who stood up for me.
"Guys, just leave me alone!" I shouted backing into a corner.
"But that's no fun! Besides you just got here so we need to make sure you know all the rules." I rapidly looked around the room that's when I heard the voice.
"Leave him alone!" Kiba yelled standing a few steps behind them.
"On common, we were just showing this little guy the rules around here." Kiba laughed.
"Yeah okay, hey Naruto come over here." Kiba spoke warmly. For some reason I found his voice to be clam and warm. Running over to Kiba I hugged him as he put both arms around me giving me a hug.
"Now why don't you guys going on somewhere else?" Glaring the boys walked off in another direction. Kiba then turned his attention to me.
"They didn't hurt you did they?" I looked up at Kiba with tears falling from my face and shook my head.
"Good, if they pick on you again come find me, they always pick on the new kids." While still hugging Kiba I looked down and saw a blue light glowing on the back of his hand by decided to ignore it.
"Hey Naruto you okay?" I looked over at them and nodded getting off the bed.
"Good, you were just staring off into space, was kind of worried about you bud." Kiba spoke smiling while I lightly laughed. After that we started walking to the park. The park wasn't too far from our house. In all honestly it was rather close. On the walk there I stayed close to Kiba while Shikamaru walked ahead of us.
"You can walk farther ahead if you want Naruto." I shook my head and continued to walk with Kiba. Kiba laughed with Shikamaru speaking.
"Oh, I see how it is, you don't want to walk with me." Shikamaru teased. I looked down at my feet. Shikamaru looked back and frowned.
"Hey, its okay Naruto, I was just teasing." I continued to look down at the ground until I felt a hand in front of me stopping me from walking any further.
"Whoa Naruto, you need to watch where you're going." Looking up I noticed I was standing on the curb of the sidewalk. I sighed looking at Kiba. Before long we had arrived at the park. Shikamaru went off and did his own thing while Kiba and I sat on bench. We didn't do much talking, then again me not being able to talk helped contribute to that.
"Hey Naruto, can I ask you a question?" I looked over at Kiba and nodded.
"How come you don't talk? Like is it hard for you or did something happen in the past that makes it impossible to talk?" I looked at Kiba and sighed. Even though I felt like I could trust him I still wasn't comfortable telling him what happened in the past. Lightly shaking my head I looked away. Kiba smiled.
"It's okay Naruto, you don't have to tell me. I was just curious." I took out my notebook and wrote Kiba a note then handed it to him. Kiba looked at the note and smiled.
"No problem, I want you to feel comfortable as much as possible." Shikamaru ran over to us panting.
"What you guys… talking about?" Kiba looked at Shikamaru and laughed.
"Not much, just looking around, what have you been up to?" Shikamaru looked around still panting.
"I was playing some soccer with some other kids." Kiba nodded and continued to look around. After sitting in that spot for a little while I noticed the same kids that were picking on my earlier that week. I started to move closer to Kiba which caused him to look at me. My gaze was fixed on the boys. Soon Kiba followed where I was looking and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about them bothering you while I'm here." Looking up at Kiba I smiled.
After arriving back at the hotel I went into my room and got on my bed. Kiba looked in the room and sighed.
"I wish he would open up more. I feel really bad with him just staying in his room all the time." Shikamaru looked at Kiba and nodded.
"He will open up eventually, just give him some time, don't you remember from reading…" Kiba looked at Shikamaru causing him to stop talking.
"Be quiet will you, I don't want him to know I read up on him. I want to get to know him on his terms. I know it will just take time but I still feel bad. Glancing out the room, looking at Kiba I smiled.
"I guess he really does care about how I feel." I thought to myself. Closing my eyes I smiled.
