N.P.O.V: Several Days later
I Sighed as I stood in front of Sasuke's work, over the last couple of days since Friday we talked through text but nothing to major and nothing about Friday night; I shook my head and walked into. I smiled at the front desk lady as I walked up to her.
"Is Sasuke in?" I asked her.
"No he called in today something to do with his family, here's his address would you be a dear and deliver this papers to him oh and his pocket book. It has all his appointment in it, he left it here last night." She said handing me everything of his and a sticky note with Sasuke's address.
"Sure he's such a weird when it comes to his privacy around here." I smiled taking everything and putting the paper in my small book bag and the book in the inside of my breast pocket of my leather jacket.
"Thanks Naruto you're a sweetheart."
When I arrived I was in awe by the size of the house, it was huge! I slowly drove to the front door and parked as I got nervous, this was the first time ever at Sasuke's house. I took a deep breath and parked my bike before getting off and ringing the doorbell. A minute later a very business dressed woman answered the door with a kind smile and just like that all my nervousness vanished.
"Hello" She said sweetly.
"Uh, hi. Is Sasuke home?" I asked feeling like a little kid.
"Are you a friend of Sasuke's?"
"Yeah, I went to visit him at work but he wasn't there and the front desk asked if I could drop off some things that he forgot last night." I said rubbing the back of my head sheepishly.
"Well come in, he's in the dojo with his brother, Itachi. They're training to stay in shape and relieve stress, I'll show you where it is." She smiled and we walked through the large house to the back yard past a good size in ground pool and through a small garden area before coming to the dojo. The doors were open and you could hear clinking of metal against metal, "Are the fighting with swords or something?" I questioned myself as we drew closer. Sure enough that's what they were doing, my mouth dropped as I watched them fight. They looked like they were actually trying to kill each other, I looked at the woman in shock as she just watched like it was normal.
"Stop." She said normally as Sasuke charged his brother and quickly he shielded his sword and stepped on Itachi's flipping backwards.
"Sasuke dear you have a guest" she smiled, I waved with a nervous smile. He nodded panting before facing his brother and bowed.
"Five more minutes." Came his brother's voice.
"Fine, but no more swords; you might kill each other" the woman sighed and looked at her watch as Sasuke and Itachi got ready, soon she lifted her and they began. Their fight was amazing, they were: Fast, agile, flexible and stealthy; easily putting any MMA or UFC fighter to shame. Five minutes went by quickly and the woman called time, they stopped and walked toward each other shaking hands panting.
"Ah, I'm getting too old for this Sasuke."
"Whatever you still pack a mean punch Nii-san" Sasuke smirked as Itachi leaned on him as they walked towards us.
"Nah, I'll get you some pain meds later but a hot shower should help to" he said before nodding to me and walking to the woman.
"What brings you all the way out here, Naruto?" He asked catching a bottle of water that was tossed to him.
"Your receptionist asked me to give these to you" I said digging out the files and the pocket book from the inside of my jacket, I held them out to him. He took them and looked through everything quickly before stopping on one of the pages in his book.
"Thanks, mind staying till I get out of the shower?" he asked, my heart sped up and I slightly blushed.
"Sure" I said and he walked off.
"I'll show you to the garden," the woman said with a smile and we started walking to the house again, "You'll have to excuse my son's manners both of them haven't been the same since they came back from the war. Especially Sasuke, he had to survive without Itachi for a month and who knows what he saw or did over there." The woman said with sadness.
"Wait, son? Sasuke is your son?"
"Yes she giggled.
"But you look so young"
"Why thank you so much." She blushed, "Here we are, this area is the most relaxing with all the flowers and I keep a couple bird feeders around along with something special for the butterflies. I'll have some tea brought in." She smiled as we came upon a small table on a patio. I sat down as she left and looked around, it was like I was in a different world. When I saw a fox out of the corner of my eye, I turned and looked at it as it carried a pup in her mouth. I smiled at how cute she was, slowly she walked over to me and sniffed my leg before jumping onto my lap. I giggled as she set her pup down to sniff the rest of me, I heard a gasp and saw Sasuke's mom. She looked scared, I smiled at her and held my hand in front of the Fox's face. Sniffing my hand before she nestled into it, I had a huge grin plastered in my face as I pet the wild animal. Slowly she set the tray down and looked at me.
"I'll be fine, she likes me." I said happily, she nodded and walked off. I started thinking about Sasuke then, I was conflicted for several long minutes. I let one hand go to grab the song I wrote for my parents but it wasn't there, my eyes widen in worry as I quickly started checking all my pockets.
"Well I see you made new friends and I believe you're looking for this." Sasuke said making me just as he held up a piece of paper and a guitar.
"Where did you find it?" I asked quickly picking up both mom and pup and rushed to Sasuke.
"In the booklet you gave me, If it's that important you should keep it somewhere safe." He said as I took it and went to sit back in my seat.
"I do, I keep it next to my heart." I pouted.
"What's it about?"
"My parent's death and healing before it ruined my life." I told him looking down at the mamma fox with sad eyes.
"Can I hear it?" He asked holding up the guitar. I sighed and set the foxes on the table and took the guitar and started playing.
"Take the light, and darken everything around me
Call the clowns and listen closely, I'm lost without you" I sang before getting louder.
"Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down but I'll rise above this, rise above this" I played as the memories came back to me, it was like everything disappeared.
"Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow and
Everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right, but I'll end this all before it gets me
Call your name every day, when I feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day, when I seem so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this doubt
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
Call your name every day, when I feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I'm feelin' helpless
I'm fallin' down, fallin down', but I'll rise above this, rise above this, rise above this, rise above this doubt" I sang as I slowly ended the song, I sighed as the foxes watched me; I never played that for anyone before, not even Neji.
"I like it have you ever recorded it?"
"No, No one has ever even heard it, you're the first one ever even hear what it should sound like."
"Then I'm honored you let me hear it." He smirked I blushed as I really looked at him for the first time since he came into the garden, he sat there half naked in front of me, I looked away from his god like body and handed the guitar back.
"Seeing that face on you makes me wonder if you make it during sex." Sasuke said grabbing the guitar and leaning forward.
"Eh!" I said shocked and blushed even more, "I should be leaving, and I'm going to take them with me; I'll see you later Sasuke." I said bowing and outstretched my arms and the momma fox picked up her pup and jumped into my arms and rushed out of the house and I put the foxes in my bag and drove home.
