4. Naruto's Place

Sasuke and Sakura followed Naruto to his house, walking queitly. The streets were busier now that the rain had stopped. Children ran past them, splashing water onto the teenage students as they stepped into puddles.
Inner Sakura fumed, those brats! They deserve a beating.

Naruto stopped at an apartment block and turned to Sasuke and Sakura.
"This is my place. Excuse the mess, I've only just moved in," he said with a sheepish grin. He rummaged through his bag and pulled out his keys. They entered the apartment block and followed Naruto up three flights of stairs to the top floor.
"Are your parents home?" asked Sakura, as Naruto opened the door.
Naruto hesitated, his hand gripping the door knob.
"No, there's no one home," he replied.

Sakura gasped as they entered. Towers of boxes, and empty ramen cups were strewn around the room, the kitchen sink had unwashed dishes waiting to be cleaned, and a bottle of milk sat on the counter.
Sasuke surveyed the room with curiosity. It didn't look like a place where adults who home-schooled their kids would live.
"Are your parents at work?" asked Sasuke.
Naruto looked down and began picking up empty ramen cups. He shook his head, causing his blonde hair to fall into his eyes. When Naruto looked up at Sasuke, Sasuke jolted in surprise. Naruto's eyes were intense, emotions swarming and battling within him. Beneath Naruto's mask of being a loud and cheerful person, his eyes revealed that he was actually sad and lonely. Sasuke blinked, and the sadness in Naruto's eyes disappeared.
"So, who wants ramen?" he asked cheerfully.

The three of them sat on the ground, eating off a low table. Sakura brought out the assignment sheet and began to look through it.
"There are a few questions we have to answer. Did you guys want to start working on answering them now?" she asked.
"Sure thing Sakura-chan," Naruto agreed, his mouth full of ramen.
"Ew, don't talk with your mouth full!" Sakura protested, moving away from Naruto.
Naruto gulped down his food, "Sorry Sakura-chan."
"Okay, how many rooms are in this apartment?"
"Uh," Naruto looked around, counting in his head.
"Lets go count them, you can give us a tour while you're at it," encouraged Sakura.
"We can get a tour of his whole place next time Sakura. Naruto has only just moved in, so it will probably just be all boxes," said Sasuke.
Naruto gave Sasuke a grateful smile.
"Okay," Sakura agreed, "how many rooms then?"
"Does this room count as one coz of the kitchen and living room and dining room being joined?" questioned Naruto.
"I think it counts as three because it has different functions," Sasuke replied.
"Okay, so three, plus bathroom, and my room. That's five," Naruto said, counting them off on his fingers.
"What about your parents room?" asked Sakura.
"They uh, don't live here," Naruto murmured quietly.
"Oh," Sakura didn't know what to say.
"Yeh, my dad died in an accident last year. Dad is a hero. He died trying to save the town from burning down. Some loser thought it would be cool to set loose nine foxes with their tails on fire into the town. Lots of people were injured. I had to go live with my god granddad, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He was the third board member of Konoha High's council board, which is why I transferred. He gave me this place to live, and is covering all my expenses. But I'm going to get a part-time job to pay him back."
"What about your mum?" Sakura asked quietly.
"Mum died when I was just a baby. So it was just dad and I."
"I'm sorry Naruto," Sakura touched Naruto's arm softly.
"Aw, it's fine. It's been more than a year."
Sasuke sat quietly, watching and listening.

A ring tone blared through the silence, and they jumped.
"Sorry," murmured Sasuke, pulling his phone out. He flipped his phone open quickly, "Hello, mum?" he listened to the reply.
"I'm at a friends place doing schoolwork… now? Why? Okay, I'll be home in fifteen," he said and shut the phone with a snap.

"Sorry guys, I gotta go. Mum says there's a surprise and she wants me home now."
Sakura looked at her watch.
"Yeh, I hafta go too. We can work on the assignment tomorrow after school. You guys can come to my place and stay for dinner," Sakura offered, glancing at Naruto.
"That would be great! Thanks Sakura," Naruto said smiling.
"Thanks for having us over Naruto," called Sasuke and Sakura as they left.
"See you tomorrow!" Naruto replied, waving from the door.
