"Are you sure you don't want me to stay here young master?" My butler Shinrai kept pestering me.
"How many times did I tell you don't call me young master call me Naruto like you use to before-"
"Yes I forgot Naruto. Your dad is just so strict now that he persists I call you young master."
"Like he really cares…" I started to drift in my thoughts.
"Yes I know Naruto but…just try to get some sleep tonight. You know how much your father hates when you stay up late."
"I will. Now go see your daughter." I faked my smile to my most trusted butler. And I'm not just saying that because he's the only one in this mansion that pays any attention to me. I'm saying it also because that's what his name means. Trust. He has Dark brown hair that isn't that long. His eyes are light baby blue and he looks like he's 16 when he's actually 28. Almost every girl that sees him would go after him right away; until they would find out he was a butler for the Uzumaki family.
He's probably the only one that actually pays attention to me since after my mom died and everything changed.

"If you need me call me." Shinrai rose up his cell phone and began to walk out, "And please don't stay up late or your father will eat my head." His eyes looked directly at mine.
"Your daughter needs you more than me." I smiled at Shinrai. His daughter was in the hospital now because she had gotten cancer. She's only 4 and she might die.
"Bye Naruto. If you need anything to eat while I'm gone just heat up some ramen. You know what to do." He winked at me and I laughed.
"Sure now go!" He takes care of me too much and he needs his daughter right now. Since his wife was dead after she gave birth.

Right after Shinrai closed the door behind him I walked over to the cabinet and got some ramen. Shinrai is the only one that knows my favorite. Miso Ramen with extra pork.
I smiled as I looked at my name plastered to the side of the package. "Dammit Shin…" He always knows that I make food when everyone's out of the mansion to keep me busy and not starved with the crazy diet my dad has me on. So he keeps at least one package with my name on it for me to eat. The package is most likely one he had bought, with his own money, so it's not in the records that he had bought something extra than what he's told to buy.
Dad mostly doesn't come home till real late but that won't stop me for staying up for him. You see, I stay up every night hoping, just hoping, that my dad will come home and play with me. Or I would even wish that when I would fall asleep at the kitchen table that he would pick me up and bring me to my bed.
But that never happens. He mostly gets mad at me for staying at the table and he sends me away.
"Dad…" I got lost in my thoughts again.

In 5 min. the microwave beeped and I jumped out of my thoughts
I've had to learn how to cook for myself, when Shin isn't here, for 3 years. Dads never home so he never makes anything. Or at least not anything for me.
I sat down at the kitchen table and opened up my steaming package of miso ramen. I licked my lips as I began to dive in then… I realized that it was too hot for me to eat.
"Maybe dad will come home early." I spoke to myself. I smiled at my pitiful dream that wouldn't become true.
"Yeah right. Over my dead body." Either way I stood up and began making an extra package of ramen. I mean if he would come home he would be hungry right?
After that package was done I set it at the other end of the table, where my father would have regularly sat.

"There now I'm going to eat mi-"I looked at my food and it was cold.
"Dammit." I yelled at myself. Why am I so focused on him when he doesn't even care about me?
put my head on my arms as I laid my head on the table. "I lost my appetite anyway.
I began to drift into sleep, trying to enter the dream world where I would see my dream family and I would smile.

I began to drool

After hours of sleeping I felt as if someone was wiping my cheek with a soft handkerchief then lifting me up in their arms.
I smiled, "dad…"
"Just clean him up and bring him to bed." The older blond took of his jacket and put it on his chair, "and after that clean up the mess this boy made. I have too much work to do."
If this wasn't my dad holding me then who was…
I opened my eyes just barley so I would be able to see who my handler was. It was John my body guard.
John had been with my dad for the day because his bodyguard, Zack, had gotten hurt in an attack against my father.
So my father thought that his son's safety was not as great as his own. I despised the two body guards. They were just drones for my father. They did whatever he said and wouldn't allow me to do anything.

I began to cry softly into my hands. Dad doesn't care for anyone but himself!
"After you clean these messes make me something decent to eat since that idiot Shinrai isn't here."
As John ascended the staircase, I heard my father talking to himself.
"Ramen? It's just a bunch of crap…" My father mumbled to himself.
After John Roughly threw me in my bed I cried for hours before falling asleep once again.

9 years later

I am Naruto Uzumaki Heir of the Uzumaki family. My father is the owner of a company that makes a clothes line called Nevar Moon. It's more popular with the teens than anyone else.
And since it's popular we have a lot of money. I say we have too much. But since my dad's so stubborn and cruel he won't give any to charity. He just likes getting more money.
It's like he's filling the void of my mother with the load he earns every week.

My mom died from a drunk driver when I was 4. She was so innocent and young. I miss her. After she died dad changed. He didn't do things with me anymore, he more of avoided me.
What he does do, probably to show that he loves me, is getting me stuff he thinks I would want.
So he gets me all the latest technology crap and lets me wear the newest clothes or accessories in Nevar Moon.
He has me even model in his shoots. But I don't even want to. He has me on a constant diet and tells me not to get hurt. So when I did get beat up in school he would get pissed at me.
It's not my fault that everyone in school thinks I'm a jack ass because I get all new stuff.

Anyway, even when I tried to run away, and I say tried because I like tried 12 times but failed because of John and Zack, he wouldn't even respond to it. He wouldn't call the police or contact the news.
And get this. When I was kidnapped for ransom he let them have me for 2 weeks without even looking. He said that I would understand when I was older that the money they were asking for was too much.
Yeah too much for his sons life.
He made John and Zack look for me and those two idiots didn't even know where to start. After a week without getting any contacts with my father, they decided that every day they got no answer they would scar my face with a scratch. And on the seventh day they would have me killed.
When the seventh day arrived. My face was sore from the cuts and my wrists were in pain from the ropes.
The people that kidnapped me were just about to kill me when the two dumbasses, john and Zack, finally came in and kicked all their butts and took me out of there.

Sometimes I even wish they wouldn't of have saved me out of there. I would rather be with mom in heaven.

"Just take it and go to your room. I don't have time to celebrate or anything." My dad handed me an orange box with a blue ribbon on top.
"Uh, thanks dad…" I faked a smile and began to go up to my room.
"Wait you forgot the card." He handed it to me without even looking at me.
"Ya thanks dad." I walked up the stair case to my room and jumped onto my bed.
My room was a mess from all the crap on my floor. But I couldn't help it. I had no more room for all the stuff he gets me.
I put the card down next to me so I could get it over with.
"Let's see is it a gadget that won't be out for years or will it be ramen?" I ripped the ribbon off with my teeth and opened the box.
"Yay, it's an I-Mix. The apple product that wouldn't be out for another 10 years." I threw it to the ground.
But don't worry that wouldn't break it. It's to advance to break it the first try.

I lied down on my back. "He doesn't know one thing about me."
I turned my head so that I looked at the envelope. "I wonder if it's my allowance."
I began to open it when I realized it wasn't money it was a card and note from shin.
Shin had to take a month or two off for his daughter so he wasn't around.
I'm just glad my dad didn't fire him. That's probably the only good thing he's done. Unless this was a bad note
I suddenly was excited.

Dear Naruto,

I'm sending this to you for several reasons. The first is Happy 16th birthday. I wish I could be there to celebrate with you. I wrote this 2 months before your birthday just in case I would be gone and I was right. Like always. ^^
Just in case I also hid a package in your room. Knowing that you would not clean it. Which you should its beginning to stink. It's in your closet behind that old PS2.

I got up and scavenged through my crap till I got to the box. I opened it and looked at was inside.
A necklace that was the same color as Shin's eyes. Light Blue…

This gift you must treat with care.
Naruto you know how you have always wanted to run away?
Well I found out the best way for you to do so. I know, as much as you that your father wouldn't look for you and it would be those two idiots who would search.
So if you do something to your guards to make them out of commission you could leave to the city and begin your new life.

"You mean kill them!" I screamed

And I don't mean kill them. Knock them out with something that has your name on it. Then go out the back corridor where there's no camera's to catch you. Whatever you do don't look back just keep going.
You know how to survive so don't worry.
Now you must be wondering why I'm doing this now.
Well Sakura isn't doing so well and I want to be with her more. And you know your father won't wait for me forever.
I'm leaving Naruto and I won't be back to the mansion.
When Sakura is better or when she…or when she moved on then I will look for you.
Naruto you are on the same block as Sakura. I love you and I will find you no matter what happens.
You need to get out of that house. Make friends.
Or more than friends 0.

"Ha. Ya right." I sniffled. Damn am I beginning to cry.

Get out of that mansion or you will die selfish like your father.
I will find you no matter what Kitsune.

Love Shinrai

Trust me

P.S

Your dad didn't remember your birthday. I had to tell him. I told him that this birthday card showed love and he believed me
What an idiot.

Shinrai used the name for fox at the end of the letter because he always said I resembled a fox. Sly but cute.
A tear fell down on the note. Shin was my only friend AND family I have had in 11 years.
"Damn." I know he's right. I needed to get out of here and I need to today.
Listening to Shins orders I began to pack my backpack with just a few clothes and my cell phone.
And since I had 400 dollars and I didn't want to get mugged, I only brought 100 for a place to stay for a few days.
I hid the bag under my pillow and waited for midnight to make my move.

I stayed looking at my alarm. Earlier I had gone and looked far into the cabinet, in the kitchen, for something with my name on it.
Then I found it. It was spice that my dad would never know existed because he never cooked. Or cooked when I knew it.
The spice was almost 4 years expired and could knock you unconscious for hours.
And because John and Zack always scavenge through the fridge at midnight I put the spice on all the food.
"I just need to hear a large crash like 2 elephants falling over." I smiled at my thought.
I hugged my knees, "Why did it even have to come to this." If mom had never been hit by that truck, we would of have been still a happy family. But now I'm running away from my problems and my best friend will find me. Eventually…

My alarm rang when the time turned to 12:00 and like clockwork I heard two large thuds in the kitchen.
I smiled as I hit the top of my alarm clock and stopped the light buzz.
I grabbed the bag with my things I needed to survive for a few days before I could find a job.
I tip toed through the hall way, still slightly afraid my dad would wake up.
Shin was right that the cameras wouldn't be able to see me out the back corridor because the hedges would block the view.
Practically there just to show thieves that they would be scene and that would scare them.

I snuck down through the kitchen, jumped softly over the two buffoons collapsed on the floor. I snickered.
I began to walk faster through the hall way. Before I knew it I was jogging to the door. I needed to get out of the house and I needed to right away.
I didn't have time to be quiet about it.
"Z-Z-ack…" John was trying to shake Zack awake. Damn that Spice should have taken longer effect.
Oh Ya. It would take longer effect to normal human beings. The two muscles built body guards most likely didn't have regular effects as regular humans.
Why am I thinking there aliens.
Why did this Hallway have to be so long!

"Zack look down there." John pointed his finger a little slowly to where I was still jogging. Maybe the spice did take a toll on them.
I looked back once, even though shin told me not to, and saw that john and Zack were kind of straggling to get to their feet.
'Why did he tell me not to look bac-' ran into the door. "D-Dammit…" Even though I slammed into the door I don't think that's the real reason why shin told me not to look back T_T
Now I have a headache! I tried opening the door but it was locked. The one fucking day my dad actually locked the house at night. HE thought that if anyone would come in the house then john and Zack weren't doing their jobs.
I fiddled through my pockets till I found my key. Dammit why am I shaking!

"If you don't get that kid were screwed!" Zack yelled at john, "He's….technically your re...sponsibility." he began to pant. Having all muscles isn't always good is it.
I smirked as I tried unlocking the door. Finally successful I ran. Not looking back this time. I kept hearing their footsteps, which eventfully faded as I got far enough away.
I learned how to run fast from running away from the bullies at school. I sighed then kept panting.
But I could never join track because the other parents would think the only way I got on the team was from my father.
He ruins everything! I turned the corner and slowed down. I had to watch out for people now. At least I could blend in.

3 Days later

"And that is the end of the news today on channel 5. Have a nice day." The news lady smiled.
I was sitting on the hard bed that I was given for a week.
"I knew he wasn't going to do anything." I blew a sigh out and turned off the T.V
It's been three fucking days and he didn't contact any news station that I had ran away. He never dose.
I zipped up my orange hoodie and jumped off the bed. While walking out of the motel room I passed the reception desk.

"You out again Naruto?" She asked me.
"Yeah I'll be back later. I might find a job today." I faked my smile at the old lady who was actually nice to me. She knew I was low on cash, with only 30 dollars left, so she gave me free dinners.
"Okay hunny see you later then" She smiled.
I walked out of the crappy motel while holding my hands in my pockets.
The damn places I looked at saw my last name and told me write away no way.

So I tried just taking interviews where they didn't get time to think of my last name but they said they didn't want any cuties in their shops.
I sighed again and looked up so I wasn't staring at the ground.
"D-Dammit…" I should have never looked up, but then I would have never seen it.

The Muscular body guard john was up at the end of the street.
I turned around. I didn't want to be caught and brought home. But Zack was the other way, "Shit…"
Maybe they haven't seen me and I could run across the street…

'Yeah right there coming for me now…' My mind told me. And of course what I wanted not to be true was happening.
The only thing I can do is run through the ally way and be in darkness where I could get mugged raped and killed, or I would be caught and brought home.
Oh I wonder which I will choose.
I ran down the alley way. I could hear the two idiots arguing by yelling at each other.
They knew I ran into the ally. I probably didn't have much time before they caught me.
And if they didn't catch I was sure to get mugged. I sighed as I got to a wooden type fence that was probably built by one of the people in the buildings.

I jumped it wishing that I wouldn't be caught and brought back.
I landed on the other side trying to calm my breathing. But when I finally opened my eyes there were two people with black hoodie's in front of me.
'S-Shit…either way I'm going to get mugged.' I thought to myself.
They looked at me, even if I couldn't see their eyes, in a weird way that I couldn't explain it.
"He went this way didn't he." John yelled at Zack.
"I know I saw him. And you did to didn't you." He responded.

My breathing picked up again, the two people in front of me stared at me more.
'Like that's helping my breathi…' I was knocked out.

Present day

I flipped up in my bed while sweat glistened over my upper body. How I can have a whole dream of my past in 3 hours I will never know.
I wiped my forehead. I just went to bed three hours ago and now I won't be able to go back to sleep.
I looked at my clock.

6:23…

I would have woke up in 2 hours anyway. I jumped out of my bed. Not caring enough to put on a shirt I walked out of the room I was given.
It's not like anyone will be up yet.
I turned into the kitchen and walked to the cabinets. Preparing food for everyone wasn't that hard. It was only ten people and that was including me.
"I could make pancakes…" I spoke aloud but in a whisper.

"What you making." The older man hugged me from behind.
I slightly jumped, "Oh h-hey Itachi. Why are you up so early?"
"My shift starts in three hours and I was already up. Then I heard you." Itachi seemed a little tired. He rubbed his hand over my tan chest, "You're sweaty. Nightmare?" He asked me.
"No just my past haunting me." I said quickly.

"You've only been here for 2 weeks." He was still hanging on me.
"Itachi, maybe you should go back to bed. I'll go get you when breakfast is ready. That will be in an hour when most of everyone will be up, kay?" I tried to push him off me.
"Okay." He yawned and began to walk out of the room, "Later Naru-Chan"
I sighed, "Now this isnt hell." I smiled to myself.
