Chapter 7: Spiders

Naruto's Pov

I woke up to warm breathe on my neck. It was moist, and if I may say so, quite uncomfortable. Something kept tickling my forehead, and there was a scratching sound not so far from my ear.

Slowly I opened my eyes, wearily, only to see black and white.

It was Sai.

His black hair was the one tickling my face, as he was bent over my body. His pale skin looked even paler, since he was decked out in black. His twin black orbs peered into my own blue ones. The scratching sound I heard from earlier was him sketching in his sketchpad. He seemed so intent on what he was doing, I was prompted to ignore him, but then I saw a flash of skin.

'Wait a minute...skin?'

I sat up on my elbows, to see what the issue was. I glanced down only to see my shirt unbuttoned, exposing my chest. My pants were pooled down around my ankle, as well as my boxers.

I was naked.

No words could be use to describe, the state I was in.

I closed my eyes, and opened them slowly, and tried to restrain myself from punching the psycho.

"What are you doing," I asked Sai quietly. He didn't reply, but continued to focus on a particular anatomy of mine, prodding it this way and that. This wasn't a game any more; he was taking advantage of me to sketch me naked. I couldn't help but think the worst; maybe he wanted to post this on the Internet or around the school. I needed to know what was going on.

"What are you doing, Sai," I asked again.

He looked up frowning, his eyes narrowed, and then he held up his finger to his lips, gesturing for me to be silent. I felt my face flush with anger, you don't tell a person, who wakes up naked to be quiet, as if they were the one who committed the offense. I realized I wasn't going to get answers until he was finished, so I tried to wait patiently.

After awhile he stopped, and looked at me, grinning wide. He wad done. I found myself anxious to know what exactly he drew, and I was hoping it was something, well classy. Very slowly, as I watched with bated breath, he held the pad up, and I saw red. My mouth dropped down and my eyes bulged out. I couldn't believe it.

"This is how'll you would look like if you had a bigger penis," he said, without a care in the world.

The picture was the most vulgar piece of art, I had ever seen in my life. The upper part of me wasn't bad; in fact it was quite wonderful, if you could exclude the sudden lumps my chest sprouted. The lower half of my body, big problem right there; my penis was the size of a seven foot sausage link, width included.

I looked like some hermaphrodite gone wrong.

"Sai," I started, quite darkly

He hum-hummed and glanced at me, "I call it, 'all packaged into one'," he grinned at me, "Get it?"

I started to chuckle, "Oh, I get it alright."

I left for the shower; leaving a comatose Sai with another bruise forming on his eye.

"Stupid pervert," I mumbled under my breath.

I knocked on Gaara's door, but no one answered. Figuring that he could be at the cafeteria eating breakfast, I retraced my steps there, trying to remember the way Deidara-sempai showed us yesterday.

I didn't even make it past Kiba's room, before the door opened. I stopped, suddenly curious, until something shot out of the room landing on my face. It had eight furry legs, and it crawled over my cheeks, before crawling on top of my head. I wanted to scream, but I thought that the thing would enter my mouth. I stood there whimpering softly, I really do hate spiders.

I just stood there trembling all over, and then the door opened. Tears were already leaking from the corner of my eyes, and I nearly cried with joy, when I saw the creepy guy from earlier.

He stood there with his hands in his pocket, and his sunglasses shading his face. We stood there staring at one another, silent, except for the sobs I made every now and then.

He raised his arm up, and I flinched away, thinking he was going to hit me, but very gently his hand sifted through my hair before pulling the spider out. The little thing scurried around his hand, before crawling up his arm and sitting on his shoulder.

I stared at it and it stared at me, before raising it's two front lets and clacking it together.

I should have left already, but I found myself unable to leave.

"Thank you," I whispered to him, my cheeks still red.

I felt so embarrassed about freaking out over a little spider that I began to wipe the tears from my face. He said nothing, and went back into the room, without closing the door.

'Way to go Naruto, you made yourself look stupid,' I thought, putting myself down.

My head jerked up in surprise, when I heard a faint cough, it was the boy from earlier. The spider was still sitting on his shoulder, but in his hand he held tissue.

I took it gratefully, and cleaned my face with it.

We stood there some more, the awkwardness growing between us, until I gathered up the courage to speak to him, well my stomach gathered up the courage to speak.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggg!"

I flushed darker, and they boy laughed.

"You're hungry, right," he asked.

I nodded my head sheepishly, "Yeah, I don't remember where the cafeteria is."

He nodded his head in understanding, and beckoned me to follow him.

He began to walk in a brisk way, and I had to jog behind him to follow. The spider turned around, and raised it front lets again and clacked them.

The thing was kind of cute now, but I still hate spiders.

"So," I began, trying to start a conversation, "You're Kiba's roommate. I'm Naruto."

I held out my hand intending for him to shake it, but instead the spider jumped into my open palm, before making its way onto my shoulder.

I stared at it, and it gave me a smile, at least I think it was a smile.

The boy glanced at me, giving a brief smile, "Shino and the guy on you shoulder is Kota."

We shook his hands and continued down the hall in silence, but it was comfortable silence.

We parted ways, and Kota hopped on his shoulder, waving goodbye with one of his legs.


I spotted Gaara's red hair, and quickly made my way over to him. Like always, he already had my food waiting for me, and I just slid into the vacant spot next to him.

"Hey," I said to everyone.

Mina and Kiba replied, but Gaara just glared at me.

"What's wrong," I asked, fiddling with the chain on Gaara's pants.

"You left me, with that gym obsessed, energetic nightmare yesterday," he growled, tensely.

"I didn't even get to sleep last night."

Now that he mentioned it, he did look a little bit more tired than usual.

"Sorry," I said, pecking his cheek.

He mumbled, before waving me away, munching on my toast.

"So," I said, turning to Kiba, "I met your roommate, Shino, he's quite nice."

Kiba yawned, and nodded, "Yeah, but totally weird. He has all these bugs, and I couldn't sleep at all last night, since they were crawling all over me."

Mina patted his shoulder, "No I fell bad, I slept perfectly."

She turned her brown eyes to me, "So how was your night."

I shrugged, nonchalantly, "I slept well; it was waking up that was the problem."

"Oh," Gaara replied, raising his eyebrow, "What happened?"

"Well, my roommate took my clothes off and drew a picture of me with boobs and a sausage like penis. You know the usual."

Everyone began to snicker, even Gaara.

"Serves you right," he said, "So who's your roommate?"

I stood up, scanning the room, "You see that guy sitting by himself over there? That's him."

Everyone stared at him.

"He looks like Sasuke," Gaara answered.

It may have sound like he was stating a fact, but I could tell he was worried.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to fall for him," I mouthed to him.

He nodded his head, but I could still tell that he was still unsure.


Breakfast went without a hitch, and I hugged Gaara goodbye. He was going to sculpture class, while I had art literature.

I began to walk down the empty hallway, but I heard someone else behind me. I turned around and saw Sai walking next to me.

I glared at him and began to walk faster. He picked up speed, and soon we were rushing into the classroom. I sat down in the seat next to the window, and he sat down next to me.

"Can't you sit somewhere else," I questioned.

He shook his head no, and just smiled at me. I could tell it was totally fake.

"If you're going to try to fake a smile, try to do it well."

His smile faltered, and he stared at me in shock.

"You can tell?"

I nodded my head, "Yeah, I use to smile like that, too."

"How come you don't any more?"

I turned to him, surprised by his sudden question. He seemed like he really wanted to know.

"There wasn't a reason to anymore. I'm happy with life, and I have people who love me."

He nodded his head slowly, trying to comprehend what I had just said.

We sat there silently, and I watched him from the corner of my eye.

He seemed so lost.
