Info: This is kinda in Sasukes POV, so Sakura is still called Haruna, since Sasuke don't know her real name.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! (obviously)

"So… This Haruna girl… What's she like?" Naruto asked as he and Sasuke made their way back to the room after getting the mattress from the room Sasuke left two days ago.

"Annoying" Sasuke declared coldly as they entered his room. His answer didn't surprise Naruto at all. – They had been best friends for years, after all.

"Really?" he said sarcastically while frowning at the dark-clad back in front of him. "Why?"

"She's talking way too much, without really saying anything." Sasuke said flatly.

*knock knock* "Taka? Are you home?" A feminine voice interrupted their conversation.

"Talking 'bout the sun, huh?"

"Hn." Sasuke just grunted as he opened the door. "Where have you been?" He asked as he let Haruna into the room. He knew Masashi had told him already, but he wanted to hear it from her as well.

"I was shopping." she stated simply.

"For three hours?" Sasuke couldn't help but wonder what the hell she'd been shopping for. – It couldn't only be clothes, could it?

"Uhm, yeah… It took a while to find something I liked – I guess pink and lime green is a little too catchy for this world, don't you-" she stopped mid-sentence as she noticed Naruto. "Hey! I know you!" she said as she pointed at him. "You're that man who drove me here!"

"Hey, hey, hey! You're Green Eyes!" Naruto exclaimed, looking as though he had to make a conscious effort not to jump up and down with joy. Sasuke only lifted an eyebrow slightly at how much alike the two other youngsters were.

"Green Eyes?" Haruna asked, also raising her eyebrow.

"Hey! I didn't know your name!" Naruto said as he waved his hands empathetically.

"Haruna. It's Haruna." Haruna said while she grinned at the childish youth in front of her.

"Nice to meet you, Haruna! Again. I'm Naruto," He greeted "and it seems you already know Taka." He continued as he gestured to Sasuke. Then he moved closer to her and whispered: "So tell me; how the hell did you manage to break down that rock-facade?" He thought it was low enough for only Haruna to hear, but he hadn't counted in Sasukes keen ears.

"I'm not deaf, Naruto, and I've already told you; she just needed a place to stay, there's nothing more to it."

"Yeah, right. And I-" Naruto started, but he stopped and reconsidered his remark when Sasuke sent him his famous death-glare. "I gotta find that mattress Masashi talked about…"

"It's right beside you." Sasuke stated curtly, reminding him that they already found it. Tch. Dobe.

"Oh, yeah, um… Well, I- I gotta go" he said as he scratched the back of his head nervously and then disappeared in a matter of seconds.

When Naruto was out of earshot, Sasuke turned to Haruna. "You know him?"

"Not really, but I've seen him before. He was the one who drove me here."

"So you're from Konoha." It was more of a statement than a question, but Haruna nodded anyway. "Then why are you here?" Sasuke asked, eager to know why someone would leave such a peaceful place as Konoha, in order to go to Oto.

"I- I don't really wanna talk about it, okay?" Haruna said nervously.

"Hn. You know, you shouldn't leave without telling me" Sasuke said, effectively changing the subject, knowing all too well how hard it could be to talk about the past. "– If I'm not here when you get back you can't come in…"

"I know, but I was getting bored of just sitting around, and I figured Masashi could let me in…"

"Hn."

"Hey Taka… Do you have some blankets somewhere?" Naruto said as his head popping up out from the doorway, like in an anime.

"In the dresser next to my desk."

"Ah, thanks."

"Second drawer"

"Okay." It was silent for a while as Naruto found the blankets and moved them to his 'bed'. One. Two. Three. "Uhm, Taka?" There. "Can… will you help me?"

Sigh. "How long have you been living on your own, Naruto?"

"Uhm… For quite some time. Why?"

"And you have yet to learn how to make a bed?"

"Hey! Normally the bed is already made at a hotel, you know."

"I'll help you Naruto!"

Yet another chapter! A little shorter than the last one, but still… Well; hope you like it and please review. Uhm… School has started, so updates will probably be even less frequent, but I'll do my very best, okay?
