Notice: OMG, I'm so sorry for the late update! I was sick all weekend and I know its no excuse! So I hope this chapter will make up for it. Please enjoy!

~Naruto POV~

It's been three weeks after the 'Baby Incident'. That's what I've dubbed it. Life really has gone off the track since I've became friends with Kiba. I hung out with Kiba's group after that where we all went to the movies and the ice cream shop. I also joined them for their Friday night dinner.

I don't think a lot of them like me all that much. Neji, Karin, Ino, and Sakura really don't like me. They still insult me any chance they can and it really annoys me. Gaara doesn't give me the time of day and Sai just creeps me out.

Also, I've been dragged by Kiba to join Sasuke and Suigetsu every Sunday to the café and study with them. At first I loathed the situation, but it always turned out better than I expected. There was barely any insults thrown and even Shikamaru takes the time out of his Sunday mornings to join us. Of course later than all of us, but he still comes.

On a way better note, raven and I have chatted almost every day since then. He really is perfect. We've been getting so close. I'm dying to meet him! I smiled at my computer as I started a chat with my raven.

OS9: Hey Raven, what's up? How was your weekend?

RER13: It was great. What about you?

OS9: It was good. I hung out with my best friend and his friends.

RER13: So what you doing now? Oh, dude, I got this really good song! It's so great! You should listen to it. It's called Niwaka Ame Nimo Makezu by Nico Touches the Wall.

OS9: I will definitely check it out! Nm I'm just killing time by reading ahead in Macbeth. We're already on Act 5. How about you?

RER13: Oh, our class just finished it on Friday. We have to plan out our essay for it next. I'm just chilling with my brother and his boyfriend in the living room.

OS9: That seems nice. Tell them I say hi

RER13: Uh…. Their response was to make out…. Ugh their so immature sometimes.

OS9: Ah ha ha, they seem so funny. Anyway, aren't you excited for summer break in three weeks? Doing anything fun?

RER13: I guess so. My parents are going on vacation thank god. I'll probably just hang out with my friends the whole time or do something with my bro. What about you?

OS9: That seems like fun! Um… I don't think I'm going anywhere this year. I usually go to the hot springs with my parents, but they've been busy lately.

RER13: That sucks, but that means I get to talk to you more ;)

OS9: lol, you're so embarrassing.

RER13: ah ha… Hey, can I ask a question?

OS9: Of course

RER13: Can we meet?

Oh my god, did he just ask that? What do I say? Ah, I can't pause. I have to say something!

OS9: Sure, where and when?

RER13: How about during lunch on the roof?

OS9: Sure, uh I guess I'll see you tomorrow?

RER13: Yeah, night.

OS9: Night

Oh my god, he is so going to stop talking to me! He's going to hate me and ignore me! No, maybe he'll be my friend…. Or even my boyfriend… Grinning to myself, I couldn't stop even though my mother walked in.

"Aw, what is my little Naru thinking about? Does my little boy have a crush? What's his name?" the red haired female asked with a small gentle smile as she took a seat next to me on my bed. She tenderly stroked a few strands out of my face making me blush even more.

Looking away, I was conflicted if I should tell her about my online friend or not. I'm really excited and I really want to tell someone. She always did listen to me when something good or bad happened.

Before I could say anything, mom spoke up, "I was having a visit with my best friend, Mikoto, three weeks ago. We were talking about how elephant ears would make great umbrellas when Mikoto's son came in the room. He was saying how you two were studying together at a café together. His name is Sasuke Uchiha. I haven't really introduced you to their family since I always visit their household instead of the other way around. Anyway, is it that boy? He seems very nice." Mom looked down at me with a soothing and innocent smile.

I felt my throat constrict as my eyes became teary. I guess I can tell her now that my life is finally looking up. I cringed as my mother's smile dropped into a concerned frowned.

"Uh mom… It's really hard for me to tell you this. I'm not even sure if I can word this right, but I'll try… I….. I was torment by Sasuke since first grade until a month ago. Since everyone idolized Sasuke in the first grade, they all followed his lead…. I never brought anyone home because….. I never had any friends. I'm sorry I never told you…" I gasped out in fast breaths as tears gushed down my sanguine cheeks.

I felt my shoulders shake as I grasped onto my mother. She encircled me with her warm arms as she supported my crumpling heart. I'm so glad I have her. I have no idea what I would have done without her.

"It's okay Naruto. Mama's here for you….. I never realized how much you were hurting, my dear. I knew you would say once in a while about some bully, but then you would tell me not to worry. You always had it under control and I was so proud that you were so mature. I didn't realize you were so matured and hardened that you wouldn't tell me such terrible things. Oh Naruto, please come to me for anything. I'm always here," Kushina cried with such force it made me cry even more.

I barely noticed my father walk in as a single tear hung on his eyelashes. He crouched down in front of us as he wiped our tears away with a sad smile. "Hey kiddo, I saw Sasuke a couple of weeks ago. Please tell me you gave him that black eye. It would be pretty kick ass if you did," Minato grinned at me making my own smile come to my lips.

"Minato, watch your language!" Kushina gasped with an appalled expression on her face.

Smiling guiltily, I answered with a smug confirmation, "Hell yeah, dad! You should have seen it. They had to hold me back or I would have fucked up his pretty boy face!"

"Naruto, watch your mouth!" mom yelled as dad gave me a high five. "I swear you two are a bunch of animals. Now Naruto, if they ever hurt you again, I will personally fuck them up until you can't tell them apart from a piece of shit."

"Mom!"

"Kushina!"

We all paused before laughing our asses off. I seriously have the best family ever. I have a couple questions though. "Um… Mom? I have two questions. One, why did you think I had a crush on Sasuke?"

"Oh, um…. Well, he just seemed very nice and he was my only guess. Well, I guess it could be Kiba. Wait, is it Kiba?" she asked interested at this new concept.

"No it's neither of them… Well…. Our school has this chat thing for people only in the school. It's really popular, so I tried it out because… I didn't really have anyone. I've been talking to this guy for a month now and we're gonna meet during lunch tomorrow. We both kept our identities secret, so there's not really any judgment. I'm really nervous and scared he'll not like me, but I'm happy at the same time. I truly want to meet him and I think I like him," I explained with a small blush dusting my cheeks.

The two of them exchanged a fond smile as they both kissed the top of my head. "Well, tell me how it goes sweetie. I want to know who he is, so send me a picture," Kushina insisted as she ruffled my blonde locks.

"Good luck, Naruto. Now let's go to sleep. We don't want you to miss tomorrow because you're too tired," he grinned identically to my own grin as we fist bumped.

I'm so glad I have parents like them. Settling under my covers, I blushed as they each kissed my forehead and left the room.

"Wait!" I called out to them almost forgetting my second question. When they retreated back into the room confused, I asked, "Why were you and Uchiha-san talking about elephant ear umbrellas?"

"Don't worry about it, babe," mother brushed off with a grin.

I love my parents. None are creepier than mine. Giggling to myself, I decided not to dwell on it anymore. I guess I will never find out why.

…

I walked onto the train with an extra bounce on this Monday morning. I smiled as I sat next to the beautiful Hyuuga. "How was your weekend, Hinata-chan?"

"O-Oh, it was well. I was able t-to work a lot on S-Saturday," the bluenette answered with a huge blush clouding her whole face. Is she still embarrassed about the 'Baby Incident'?

I didn't ponder much since the ice prince and the bitch prince entered the train. I glared at Neji challenging him to ruin my day. No one can ruin this day. I'm going to meet the love of my life and I will not let this ass hole get me down!

Instead of a rude comment, he just sat next to his cousin on the opposite side with a snarl on his face. I grinned victorious until Sasuke sat next to me with a monotone face. Looking in front of me, I tried hard to ignore the prick, but a question nagged at me. I should ask before too many people get on train.

"Hey, Sasuke…"

"Hey, Naruto..."

We both stopped our sentences and looked at each other for the other to say something. Deciding he's not going to say anything, I start with my question, "So I heard you talked to my mom a couple of weekends ago? What did you say to her?"

Sasuke looked away for a second before he gave me a mysterious side glance and opened his thin lips to answer, "Your mom just asked me how you were doing. I told her you were doing better, since you and Kiba became friends and I felt the basketball team was pretty good to you."

I nodded slowly content with his answer. Yeah, what else would he say to my mom? Why the hell did she think I liked him? I guess she couldn't have had many guesses since she didn't know many guys from my school. Still anyone would be a better guess than Sasuke.

"Oh, did you want to…" I started but stopped when Kiba came bustling on the train with a huge grin.

"Dude, where's the glasses today? It's like the first time you haven't worn them to school? Oh and where's the school sweatshirt? Are you trying to look good for someone?" Kiba observed with a toothy smirk and an eyebrow raised.

Before I could answer, Sasuke spoke up, "Yeah, I was going to ask about that too, before you interrupted me." Sasuke looked away making it seem as if he wasn't all that interested.

Shit, I would have told Kiba it was for my online buddy, but I can't say it in front of the others also. Kiba knows the other person, so it must be someone he regularly talks too. I don't want to risk them finding out before lunch.

"What? I can't look good for no reason?" I growl obviously offended that they thought I was just incapable of looking good.

"….. No, I was just asking because I thought you needed glasses. Are you wearing contact now?" Sasuke insisted innocently. Why is he being so cautious of me? It's like he's trying to purposely be nice to me and not get me upset… Nah, that's just my imagination going wild. There's no way Uchiha would want to be nice to me.

"No, the glasses were fake..." I answer with a shrug of my shoulders. "So Kiba, how did you do on your English essay? Can I look at it?"

"Sure! I think I did really well. I took all your pointers and made sure my essay was amazing. Ah ha, my mom and sister were so surprised to see me doing homework," Kiba laughed at himself as he took out his English folder and handed me his essay.

By the time I was done looking it over, everyone was already on the bus. Wow, this actually pretty good. Who would have thought that Kiba was so smart if only he tried a little?

"It's great, Kiba! You really are amazing," I praised with a big grin as I fist bumped him. I'm so glad I got this opportunity to tutor and become Kiba's friend.

…

The stairwell echoed in deep, empty thumps as the sound coincided with the beat of my heart. My breath hollowed out as I took each shuddering step in anticipation. My body felt heavy as I stood in front of the metal door. The world spun and contorted making my stomach twist and turn. Even though I stopped walking, the beat of my heart was so loud that I was sure the whole school could hear me.

Reaching out with my shaken hand, my sweaty fingers grasped onto the door handle for a couple of seconds before twisting my fate upside down. Light surrounded me as I took in the empty roof. Sighing, I walk to the spot directly across from the door and sit down facing it.

I took out my lunch even though I knew I probably wouldn't be able to eat with the summersaults my stomach was doing. It's okay Naruto. I'm going to gain another good friend. Don't be afraid. They were able to get to know me without the stigma attached to me.

Looking up into the sky, I tried to get rid of my nerves. The day was bright with few clouds in the sky. Smiling, I couldn't help but feel like this will be the last warm day until winter finally sunk in. I can feel that this is going to be a great day.

I sucked in the fresh air just as footsteps echoed in the stairwell. My nerves hit me so hard my breath is knocked out of me and I'm left holding my breath. A cloud went over the sun making the rooftop dark and cold. My heart exploded in a million pieces as the door handle moved just a little.

My vision went blurry the seconds where nothing happened and then it was crystal clear as the handle turned fully and the door opened inch by inch like a snail. A gust of icy wind blew on the roof and shut the door before I could see anything of the shadowy figure.

My throat clenches as the environment gets hectic as my heart beat thumps wildly. No sun was shining through and the warmth was gone as the coldness seeped through my bones. My body froze as the door struggled to open and the wind picked up all around me. My clothes and hair thrashed violently and goose bumps rose on my arms and legs in screaming silence.

The door opened up with a bang as it silenced everything around me. The sun shone through; the wind stopped; the warmth returned; my breath came back; the goose bumps were gone; the door was opened.

The shadowy figure stepped into the gleaming light revealing his pale face. He took a couple steps no doubt forcing his way through the door and into the silence that awaited him. Locking eyes with charcoal ones, I realized why nature was so against this encounter.

This event was just so unnatural. This should not have happened.

How could I let this happen?
