Chapter 4
The Small Arguement
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Crystal clear eyes fluttered open. Naruto's vision was blurry for a moment. Whe his vision came into focus, Naruto slowly sat up in bed and looked around to see the bright room of Hanabi. Naruto was confused; he had no idea where he was and how he got here.
'Where am I?' Naruto thought as slowly swung his feet over the side of the bed. He winced when his feet touched the cold floor. Naruto slowly stood and looked around once more. Naruto looked at his watch and raised a brow. It was already five in the evening. He recalled that he came to Neji's house around two in the afternoon. Naruto's eyes widened as he recalled what had happened when he arrived at Neji's house. Naruto's eyes narrowed. 'I had felt really tired...I guess I fell asleep.'
Naruto looked around on the ground and raised a brow when he saw Hanabi a few feet away on the ground...sleeping. Naruto went and crouched by Hanabi. He noticed that she had an art journal under her arms. Naruto silently and slowly pulled the art book away from Hanabi , not wanting to wake her. When he finally had the art journal, Naruto took a look at the page it was opened to. Naruto smiled slightly; it was a picture of a wild stallion, running through a grassy field. He had to admit, Hidane had gotten really good since the last time they met. The stalion was highly detailed from head to foot and so was the field. But...the drawing didn't have that bit of magic Naruto's picture somehow were able to catch. But non-the-less, the picture was beautiful. Naruto put the art journal on Hanabi's desk. He then picked up the girl and laid her on her bed. Naruto brought the sheets over Hanabi and slightly ruffled her hair. Naruto then walked towards the door. He closed the door behind him and looked around. Obviously he was in a long bright hall. Naruto went down the hall towards the stairs. When he was at the staris, Naruto sat on the railing and slid the way down, he found it much faster that way. Once at the bottom of the stairs, Naruto heard voices towards the kitchen. Even though he had changed a lot since that day, Naruto still had a huge amount of curiousity. Naruto slowly made his way to the kitchen. When he was near the kitchen, Naruto was able to make out only one voice and that was Neji's voice, but the other two were unfamiliar. Naruto slowly approached the doors to the kitchen, feeling a bit nervous, which just confused him. Naruto took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. He poked his head in to see Neji and Sasuke sitting at the table with their backs to him. The was a girl around their age with long black hair, lavendar eyes, she was wearing a violet jacket, and black pants. The girl was facing him, but didn't see him poke his head in the room.
"So N-Naruto-kun is living in Konoha?" the girl said with a small smile. Naruto saw Neji nod.
"Hai(yes). He came with Tsunade," Neji said. The girl nodded.
"I see..." the girl said. She then looked towards Naruto's direction. Naruto froze and so did the girl as they both stared into each other's eyes. Her eyes were wide in surprise.
"What's wrong Hinata-sama?" Neji asked. Naruto rose his brows in surprise. The girl was Hinata! Naruto blinked a few times. He had to admit that Hinata had grown a lot, but I mean a lot. Sasuke looked toward the direction in Hinata's gaze to see Naruto's head poking into the room. He blinked a few times and so did Naruto who was staring at the raven. Finally, Neji turned and saw Naruto. Immediately, Neji smiled.
"You finally woke up. Why don't you come in Naruto and take a seat," Neji said gently. Naruto nodded slightly as he walked in hesitantly. Naruto went and sat next to Neji. Naruto looked at Hinata for a moment.
"Ano(um)...hi N-Naruto-kun," Hinata said shyly, a blush tinting her cheeks.
"Hi...Hinata," Naruto said softly, almost as softly as Hinata. Hinata smiled gently.
"Naruto are you hungry?" Neji asked kindly. Naruto slowly shook his head.
"No thanks Neji. I'm not that hungry," Naruto said, but suddenly, a growling sound was heard. Naruto blushed, embarrassed as Neji laughed lightly and Hinata giggled.
"Miso ramen, right?" Neji said as he stood from his seat.
"Yes please," Naruto said cutely as Neji went and prepared his ramen. Sasuke smiled lightly. "So Hinata...what have you've been doing since we...last seen each other?"
"Well...I've been training a lot I guess. I've been working on this jutsu of mine," Hinata said thoughtfully, looking at Naruto, who was looking at her in surprise. "Nani(what)?"
"You didn't stutter," Naruto said, making Hinata blush.
"I grew out of that bad habit of mine..." Hinata said.
"Not quite," Neji said as he place a cup of miso ramen in front of Naruto. "You still stutter people's names."
"That's a small bad habit," Hinata said, frowining slightly. Naruto slowly ate his ramen.
"What's a jutsu?" Naruto asked curiously. Everyone stared at him.
"You don't know what a jutsu is? What are you? A moron?" Sasuke said. Naruto frowned.
"No I'm not a moron, teme. I just moved here from the USA. Do you really think I would know what a jutsu is?" Naruto said angrily. Sasuke frowned.
"Er well you see Na-Naruto-kun...a jutsu is something we use...like this," Hinata said as she did a few seals. There was a poof of smoke. When the smoke cleared, there was another Neji in Hinata's place. Naruto's eyes slightly widened in amazement. There was another poof of smoke, and Hinata turned back to normal. "You see."
"Oh so it's some kind of magic thing..." Naruto said. Hinata nodded slightly.
"I guess you can call it that," Hinata said. Naruto poked his ramen with his chopsticks.
"Is this a jutsu?" Naruto asked.
"No that's ramen dobe," Sasuke said. Naruto glared at Sasuke.
"I know that, but is this a jutsu," Naruto said. Suddenly there was a yellow flash and Naruto was right next to Hinata. Hinata gave a small 'eep' as Neji and Sasuke just stared.
"If you mean that yellow flash and you suddenly being next to Hinata...yes," Neji said. Naruto raised a brow in amusement. "Do you know anything else?"
"No," Naruto said plainly with a scowl.
"Figures," Sasuke muttered as he shook his head. Naruto growled.
"But I do know how to beat the crap out of bastards like cocktail there," Naruto said. Sasuke's eye twitched in anger.
"What did you call me?" Sasuke said angrily.
"Did. I. Say. That. Too. Fast?" Naruto said slowly. Sasuke stood up angrily, but before he could lunge himself at Naruto, Neji grabbed the raven by the shoulders.
"Don't even think about it Sasuke," Neji warned. Sasuke growled and was about to say something, but was cut off by a scream.
"NARU-CHAN DISAPPEARED!" Hanabi's voice rang through out the house. Everyone in the kitchen sweatdropped as they heard the small girl panic and run down the stairs.
"H-Hanabi-chan! N-Naruto-kun is in the kitchen with us!" Hinata called out. Everyone heard the small girl stop her panic affair and run towards the kitchen. The doors open and in came Hanabi.
"NARU-CHAN!" Hanabi squealed happily and threw herself at Naruto, who caught her. "I thought you disappeared! Don't do that! You scared me Naru-chan!"
"Gomen Hana-chan," Naruto said politely. Hanabi let go of Naruto and sat next to him.
"Naru-chan! I drew something for you!" Hidane said as she brought out the same art journal Naruto saw. Naruto smiled as Hanabi showed him the picture of the stalion. "What do you think Naru-chan?!"
"It's highly detailed Hana-chan. And really beautifully drawn," Naruto said honestly.
"But does it have the magic?!" Hanabi asked, her eyes full of curiousity. Naruto looked at the picture then to Hanabi. But before he could say anything, Hanabi cut him short. "It doesn't, huh..."
"You're close Hana-chan. Just try even harder and you'll get the magic," Naruto said encouragingly. Hanabi smiled brightly, but then suddenly threw a banana at Sasuke's head.
"NARU-CHAN DOES SO KNOW ABOUT MAGIC TEME! DON'T YOU DARE INSULT NARU-CHAN CUZ HE'S WAY MUCH BETTER THAN YOU!" Hanabi shouted angrily as Naruto, Hinata, and Neji sweatdropped. Sasuke growled angrily. Hanabi glared daggers at Sasuke. Naruto smirked.
"What are you smirking about?" Sasuke snapped at Naruto. Naruto shrugged.
"Nothing," Naruto said, still smirking. Naruto then looked at Neji with a frown. "Neji...how can you become friends with this gay emo?"
"I AM NOT GAY AND I'M NOT EMO!" Sasuke roared. Hinata and Neji sweatdropped as Naruto and Sasuke continued argueing, with Hanabi cheering Naruto on.
"ARGH! I shouldn't be wasting my time with a loser like you!" Sasuke said angrily.
"Funny, I should be saying the same thing to you teme," Naruto said angrily as well.
"BAKA!"
"TEME!"
"USURATONKOCHI!"
"JERK!"
"DUMBASS!"
"MISS PRISS!"
"IDIOT!"
"GAY ASS!"
"ENOUGH!" Neji yelled angrily for the second time in his life. "You guys act like five-year-olds!"
"He started it," Naruto said angrily.
"Well I wouldn't have started it if you weren't such dobe!" Sasuke said angrily. Naruto stayed quiet, but continued to glare at Sasuke. "Don't got anything to say? Figures."
"No! I know when to shut my mouth when I have too! So you better shut your emo little mouth as well!" Naruto said expresionlessly, but loudly. There was a long silence, but was broken by Naruto's cell phone ringing. Naruto grabbed his cell phone and flipped it on.
"What!" Naruto said angrily.
"What went up your ass, eh?! Why are you angry!...Oh my god your angry!" Tsunade's voice said. "Wow! It's been a long time since the last time you've been angry! Wow! ..."
"You're done?" Naruto said expresionlessly.
"Yeah I'm done," Tsunade said. "So when are you coming back home? It's already 5:26."
"Soon," Naruto said softly as he was now calmed down.
"Okay. See you soon," Tsunade said. "Bye."
"Bye," Naruto muttered before he hanged up. He looked at Neji then to Hanabi and then to Hinata, not bothering to look at Sasuke. "That was Tsunade...I better leave now."
"Awww! So soon!?" Hanabi whined. Naruto ruffled her hair.
"Yes. I'll visit tommarrow okay," Naruto said.
"Promise?" Hanabi asked. Naruto nodded.
"Cross my heart, hope to die," Naruto said with a small smile. Hanabi smiled and nodded. "Well see you Neji...Hinata...teme..."
"Bye," both Hinata and Neji said as Naruto got up and left the kitchen, heading towards the front door. Once outside, Naruto took a deep breath and stretched lightly. Naruto sighed and looked up at the sky, his eyes glazed. Naruto suddenly heard the door shut closed. The blonde turned around to see Sasuke closing the door.
"What do you want...?" Naruto said softly. Sasuke glance at Naruto.
"Nothing. I'm just going home dobe," Sasuke said as he stood next to Naruto. Naruto frowned slightly.
"Don't call me that, teme," Naruto said softly as he started to walk away from Sasuke, and towards Konoha Academy. Naruto walked silently down the streets of Konoha, his eye glazed, and his mind full of unwanted thoughts.
-Konoha Academy: Tsunade's House-
"Kuso(damn it)" Tsunade said as she lost again to Jaraiya at a game of cards. Jaraiy grinned goofily as Shizune sweatdropped.
"Still a bad player, ne!? Too bad!" Jaraiy said with a laugh. Tsunade growled.
"You only go lucky you old g-
The door to the huge dorm slowly squeaked open. Tsunade, Shizune, and Jaraiya looked up to see Naruto close the door quietly. Naruto turned and faced them.
"Yo," Naruto said. Tsunade smiled warmly.
"How was your trip to Neji's house?" Tsunade asked, while Shizune smiled and nodded.
"Hai, Hai(yes, yes)! How was it?" Shizune said sweetly. Naruto looked at Tsunade then to Shizune.
"How did you know I was at Neji's?" Naruto said expressionlessly.
"I called you and some person picked up then Neji snatched the phone from him, and then Hanabi snatched the phone from Neji and told me you were there sleeping like a baby," Tsunade said with a grin. Naruto raised a brow in amusement.
"Ah... It was...alright. Except for the stupid gay bastard," Naruto said, muttering the last part.
"Nani(what)?" Tsunade with a frown. Naruto shook his head.
"Forget about it," Naruto said softly. The blonde then sat on the coach.
"You must've only slept for a few minutes, ne?" Tsunade said. Naruto blinked a few times, as he rembered that he had slept for more than an hour, which is really odd for him. It was even more odd that he had believed in the words Sasuke said...about being safe. Naruto hang his head, his eyes glazed over.
"Actually...I slept for more than an hour," Naruto said softly. Shizune gasped while Tsunade spat out the tea she had been taking a sip from into Jaraiya's face. Jaraiya frowned.
"G-gomen. NANI!? You actually slept well!?" Tsunade yelled after apologizing to Jaraiya, who was now wiping his face clean. Naruto slowly nodded.
"Hai..." Naruto said softly. Tsunade and Shizune stared shockly at Naruto then at each other.
"Amazing! You must feel really refresh Naruto-kun!" Shizune said happily but still shocked. Naruto shrugged.
"I guess..." Naruto said. It was true that he felt more refresh than usual, but he still felt a bit tired. Naruto yawned slighlty. This was a sign for Jaraiy to leave.
"Well I better get going!" Jaraiya said cheerfully as he got up from his seat and made his way to the door. "I'll have Naruto's dorm by tommarrow! Good night, don't let the bed bugs bite!"
"Good night Jaraiya-sama," Shizune said, bowing slightly.
"Good night," Tsunade said with a nod. Jaraiya looked at Naruto who was looking at him.
"Good night..." Naruto muttered. Jaraiya smirked as he closed the door behind him as he left. Tsunade sighed adn stretched.
"Well I'm bushed! I'll be going to bed. Naruto, where do you want to sleep?" Tsunade said with a yawn. Naruto looked at Tsunade with a blank expression.
"I'll sleep here on the coach..." Naruto said.
"You sure?" Tsunade said. Naruto nodded. Tsunade shrugged as she got up from her seat. "Suit yourself."
"Good night Naruto-kun," Shizune said before going off to bed.
"Good night Naruto," Tsunade said with a smile before she too went off to bed.
"Good night..." Naruto said softly. Naruto sighed deeply. He stood up and got some blankets from the hall closet. Naruto then dugged through his suitcase and pulled out a white baggy shirt and dark blue night pants. Naruto quickly took off his jean, shirt, and jacket and put on the baggy shirt and night pants. Naruto then laid himself on the coach comfortablely and pulled the blankets over him.
A second chance ne?
Naruto, who finally had shut his eyes, snapped open his eyes. He scowled.
'What do you want Kyuubi?' Naruto said to the ledgendary Kyuubi No Kitsune; the demon that was sealed inside him for eternity. Kyuubi grinned foxily.
Nothing. Just came by to sing a lulliby.
'You...sing me a lulliby? I better get some ear-plugs!' Naruto said, rolling his eyes. Naruto heard a low chuckle.
Believe it or not, but I can sing.
'In your dreams,' Naruto said. He heard a low growl.
Don't mock me kit. Besides...I wanted to have a small talk with you.
'Oh really,' Naruto said.
Yes...about that small incident you had over at your friends house... Sooner or later you have to comfront them
'No! Never in my life!' Naruto said. He heard a sigh.
Don't say I didn't warn you. At least tell your friend!
'...I'll think about it...' Naruto said softly before driffting to a sleepless slumber.
