Chapter 1: Through the eyes of the Future Hokage

(A/N: Warning for Shonen-Ai content, but theres also het pairings. Well, please R&R!)

I stood mindlessly in front of my front porch, as I looked down at the letter. Well obviously I would participate in this challenge. After all, Uzumaki Naruto is a name that shall be marked in everyone's mind. I grinned, as I crumpled up the paper and ran down the street to the old house. Surprisingly, I saw Sakura-chan!

"Saaaa-kuuuu-ra-chan!" I waved my right arm frantically, as I ran up to her.

"Ah..Naruto.." Sakura smiled back uneasily, as she also had a paper in the land.

"What's that?" I asked, as I looked at the paper. It was the exact same letter that I had received this morning.

"Seems that you guys got it too."

Ino walked up to us, as she had the letter in her hand as well.

"Well, let's go in!" I cried out, as I ran to the top porch and opened the door to see everyone, I mean literally everyone inside of the house. I looked around to see the many familiar faces.

"Late as always, eh? Idiot." Sasuke smirked at me as he leaned on a desk near the door. I glowered at him, as I walked further in the house, as Sakura and Ino were walking in slowly behind me.

I looked to see Hinata blushing frantically near a flower vase. Shikamaru was sitting on the stairs leading to the second floor. Kiba was sitting on a chair holding Akamaru, as Shino was standing besides him. Lee was standing near a portrait, as Neji was on the on the other side. Ten Ten sat on the floor, as she played with the hem of her shirt. Gaara leaned on the rusty piano, as Temari and Kankuro stood beside him. Choji sat near Shikamaru, chomping on a bag of chips. This was basically everyone.

I looked around the dirty old house, as the door creaked open. In alarm I ran to the door and jumped on the person who opened it.

"Naruto!"

I looked up to see Kakashi sensei.

"Kakashi Sensei!" I cried out in alarm, as I noticed that the other guys were quite surprised.

"You guys are all probably wondering why you are here. Well, let me explain. This is a survival game. All 15 of you will live here." Kakashi smiled.

All 15 of us? In this crappy small house? My eyes widened. He had to be kidding, right?

"But Kakashi sensei, we can't.."

"Why?"

"Because..."

Kakashi sensei smiled at me as he continued. "Each day one person will be kicked out of the game by a voting. There are three rooms and two bathrooms. You guys must split up the rooms. The last two people standing will be the winners and a very delicious treat will be waiting for them. Any questions?"

"What about food?" Choji asked.

"Yeah and the ramen!" I cried out.

"Food will be provided. Any more questions?" Kakashi sensei looked around.

"How about make up appliances? Fresh towels? Shampoo? Blow dryer?" Ino asked.

"All will not be available, but shampoo and soap, yes. Any more questions?" Kakashi sensei asked.

The room was silent.

"Very well, enjoy your game." Kakashi sensei smiled, as he left the room and locked it.

I ran to the door. I pulled on the doorknob, but it was useless. The door would not budge.

"I can't stay here with all you people! This is insane!" Ino cried out.

"He really locked the door.." Kiba inspected the door.

"Damn.." I cursed, but then again, living in the same house as everyone might be, well, fun.

The room seemed to be silent. I hesitated whether or not I should say something, but surprisingly Neji spoke up first.

"The rooms. Let's divide the rooms. There will be five people per room. The five girls will all share one. As for the first room, it shall be accompanied by myself, Lee, Sasuke-kun, Shino, and Gaara. The rest of you guys will share the other room." Neji concluded.

But I wasn't satisfied. Did he choose these certain people for a reason? I was about to say something, until..

"I don't like this arrangement."

Everyone looked to where the voice was coming from and surprisingly it was Sasuke. Sasuke walked up to Neji, as he took out a piece of paper. "It will be done by a drawing."

Neji's face held a disappointed expression, as he hesitated. Then he finally gave in. "Very well."

Sasuke wrote all of our names on a piece of paper and randomly drew out five in two piles. He opened the folded papers and smiled.

"The first group will consist of myself, Naruto, Kiba, Gaara, and Choji. The other group will be of Neji, Lee, Kankuro, Shikamaru, and Shino." Sasuke concluded.

The room was silent once more.

"Well, um, us gals, will just get adapted to our rooms." Ino stood up, as she nodded at the girls. All the girls followed Ino to choose a random room.

I stood up as well. "We should uh get adapted to our rooms as well."

I ran up the creaking stairs to see one room on the left, one room on the right, and one room in the center. I heard voices coming from the center room and assumed that the girls had accompanied that room, judging from the loud voice of Ino, complaining about the room.

I peered into the room on the left to see two twin size beds and a small couch. I stepped into the room and noticed a mirror on the wall. There was also a window with a clear view of the sky; however there seemed to be bars attached.

I got out of the left room and walked into the right room. The right room seemed to be a bit cleaner than the left room. There was one bunk bed and a queen size bed. I walked towards the bunk bed to climb the ladder. I always wanted to do that. I grinned, as I slowly climbed up the ridged steps and finally reached the top to see..

"Gaara?" I cried out in alarm. It was quite surprising to see him already lying down on the top bunk. I was getting ready to go down the ladder, but I felt a firm grip on my wrist. I looked to see Gaara holding it firmly.

"Stay."

I looked in alarm, as Gaara looked at me with seemingly pleasing eyes. I slowly climbed up the ladder and got on the top bunk, as Gaara scooted over a bit to make room for me. I slid in under the sheets, as Gaara placed his arm around me. I remained still and slowly closed my eyes to sleep, but I immediately woke up, as I felt a hand running up my shirt.

Gaara smirked at me, as his hands wandered aimlessly around my body. I didn't know whether to feel comfortable or uncomfortable.

"Gaa..ra.." I stuttered, as I felt Gaara's lips on mine.

My eyes widened at the touch of his lips, until I heard some vague creaking sounds. Then the creaking sounds became rapidly fast, as I wondered, where did it come from?

CRASH!!!!!!!!!

I found myself on top of shattered wood, with Gaara's leg around my waist. My head throbbed with pain, as I rubbed it furiously. Gaara blinked his eyes, as he looked around the mess.

"What the hell happened?" Kiba cried out, as he walked into the room. Akamaru barked ferociously around the room at the sight. Kiba walked towards Gaara and me as he peered down on us. He picked up a piece of wood and threw it in the closet.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Naruto, from all the years I have known you, you are by far is the most idiotic person in the world." Kiba smirked, as his expression changed into an angry face. "I'm cleaning you IDIOT!! Make yourself damn useful and clean this shit up."

Gaara stood up slowly and smiled. "Naruto and I will clean up, you can leave."

Kiba stared blankly at Gaara. "Suit yourself." Kiba left the room, as Akamaru trotted behind him.

Gaara closed the door, as I began to get quite an uneasy feeling. He walked up to me, as I walked backwards into the wall. He cornered me and smiled, as his eyes gazed into mine. I felt a bit dazed, as I felt his lips over mine, kissing me with full force. I didn't know whether I should respond or not, but I ended up kissing back myself.

I felt his hand wandering around once more, only to stop wandering at the sound of distant voices. We pulled apart, as Sasuke came into the room. He looked at us suspiciously.

"Kiba told me you guys were cleaning." Sasuke looked at the dirty mess. "Well, that doesn't really matter. Dinner is ready."

At the sound of dinner, I felt weightlessly happy. "What's for dinner?"

"I don't know the girl's are cooking up something." Sasuke replied.

I grinned, as I dashed out of the room and rumbled downstairs and slid into the kitchen. I noticed an apple pie on the counter table and reached for it slowly, soon to be slapped away by Sakura's delicate hands.

"No! Shame on you! Hinata worked so hard on that pie!" Sakura cried out.

"It's okay, Naruto can have that pie," Hinata blushed furiously, as she offered me the pie.

"Thank you Hinata!" I grinned, as I was about to take a bite of the pie.

"NO!!" Sakura cried out, as she snatched the pie away. "Everyone will get a piece."

I pouted, as I walked away into the dining room, which consisted of a small round table and six chairs. It seems that nine of us would be standing.

I noticed Choji on one of the chairs, holding a knife and fork. He seemed to be hungry. I grinned, as I took a chair next to him.

"Where'd ya get the knife and fork?" I asked.

"Oh this?" Choji looked at his utensils. "I brought them."

I stared at him. Did we have to eat by hand as well? Then a fork came zooming by me, as it struck the wall. I watched, as the fork wobbled and finally came to stop. I looked to see who threw the fork.

"Eat with that." Sasuke smirked at me.

Anger fumed in me, as I jumped up to grab the fork. I hate Sasuke! My undying hate for Sasuke grows as the day goes by. I could provide my own utensils. Hmph!

Temari came in the room with a scowling expression, as she threw plates and forks at everyone. "What am I? A housewife? Some ninja training this shit is."

Gaara came down the stairs, as he stared blankly at everyone and smiled. "I don't need food."

Everyone stared back at him blankly. Was that guy even human?

"You don't need food?! I'll gladly take his share!" Choji cried out, grinning.

"Me too!" I cried out. I was pretty hungry. I watched as the Ino came in the room with a huge bowl.

"I want EVERYONE to try Ino's special special!" Ino grinned madly, as she dumped a whole lot of purple shit on everyone's plate. I also noticed that she gave a whole mess to Sasuke. "I hope you like it Sasuke-kun!" Sasuke had an expression of disgust, as he twirled the food with his fork.

I noticed Kiba feeding his share to Akamaru, who threw it up immediately. Man, if a dog won't eat it, who would? However, Choji seemed to be eating it just fine. Then Ino came up to me.

"And for you, Naruto!" Ino grinned evilly, as she dumped a whole lot on my plate. I stared down in wonder, well, I WAS hungry. I picked up a small piece and slowly placed it in my mouth..

"Gyak!" I looked to my side, as I saw Shikamaru choking. "I swear she poisoned it.."

I quickly spit out the food. Better than being poisoned, right?

Sakura brought out her pile of pink mush. How was it pink? The world dares not know. I have a feeling it isn't something I would be looking forward too. She grinned happily and looked like a sweet angel, as she dumped her crapload on all our plates.

I've noticed she dumped a whole lot on Sasuke. I don't know if I should feel sorry for him or be jealous.

"I'll feed you Sasuke-kun!" Sakura smiled, as she thrust the crap into his mouth. She moved on to the next person, as Sasuke's face turned deep purple.

Sakura skipped up to me and dumped a huge amount on my plate. I noticed the pink shit colliding in with the purple one. What was this? Play doh? I poked the crap and smelled it. Did it even have ingredients?

TenTen came in with her huge bowl of salad. Ah something green and disgusting. I looked in disappointment and she tossed the salad on everyone's plate. But then again, I suppose I could eat it, knowing that I would still stay alive. Kakashi sensei did say I need some vegetables in my system.

I looked towards where Shino was and noticed his plate completely clean. Then I saw insects roaming around his plate, well, go figure. I looked own upon my crap load. I watched as Kiba forced Akamaru to eat some of his shitload. I groaned, how am I going to eat the salad and keep it from touching the pink and purple shit?

TenTen came up to me and smiled. "Vegetables are healthy for your diet!"

"Yeah, yeah," I grumbled, "Can you put it on the side where it won't touch the pink and purple stuff?"

TenTen nodded, as she tossed the salad on the side.

The next minute Temari came in the room, with a bowl of stuff that looked bloody red. I peered to get a closer look and I didn't know if it was blood mush or tomato mush. She walked in silently and threw a huge amount of the food on everyone's plate. She moved swiftly, as if she was trying to not waste time. She came to my plate and sadly, threw all her shit on top of my salad.

"My salad.." I whimpered. I poked at the red stuff. What the hell was it?

"Rabbit's blood." Temari smirked at me.

I heard someone coughing, as I watched Kankuro coughing out the blood. "You could have warned me! Some sister you are!"

Temari smiled, as if she had just succeeded something.

I groaned, as my stomach rumbled. How was I supposed to survive?

Lastly, Hinata came in the room, bringing up my spirits up a bit. Hopefully, she had normal food, right? A taste of her apple pie would be quite splendid.

Everyone reached for her food, but she seemed to be heading towards a specific person, which happened to be..me?

"Naruto-kun, please eat a lot," Hinata blushed frantically, as she handed me five slices of...PIZZA!! Thank god for this wonderful meal!!

Hinata passed out slices of pizza to everyone, who cautiously kept the precious slices away from their plates. Afterwards everyone got a slice of apple pie.

"NO ONE ATE MY FOOD?!" Ino stormed in, as she started to cry. "HOW COULD YOU?"

We all stared at her blankly.

"There, there, Ino, I'm sure everyone couldn't eat your food because they ate my fo-" Sakura looked at the numerous plates filled with purple and pink crap. "EAT EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT NOW!"

All of us grabbed our forks unwillingly, as she glared at us.

"It tastes like shit."

Ino and Sakura turned to look at Gaara.

"How would you know? You don't even eat!" Sakura cried out.

"Isn't it obvious? Look at everyone's expression. You eat it if you want people to eat it that much, annoying girl." Gaara spat, as he went upstairs to the room.

"Oooohhhhhh!!!!" Sakura fumed with anger. "WHO ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION?!"

As Sakura was glowering in anger, I and so did the other guys, quickly ran up the stairs to avoid eating the food.

I dodged into our room to face Gaara standing in front of our broken bunk bed.

"Well, I guess we'll all have to sleep on the bed." Sasuke walked inside the room to face the dirty pile.

"I suppose so." Gaara agreed, as he looked at Sasuke.

"It'll only fit three people.." Sasuke frowned. How were all five of us going to fit? And surely Choji would take up all the space!

"Where's Choji?" Sasuke asked.

"Taking a dump." Kiba walked into the room. "I guess he ate too much of Ino's special."

"I'm glad I didn't eat it!" I cried out and scratched my head. Then my mind focused, how were we going to sleep?

"Well, if only three of us can fit in the bed..." Sasuke pondered.

"Three? I ain't sleeping in the bed. Unlike you guys, I'm straight. COMPLETELY STRAIGHT!" Kiba cried out, as he pulled the blankets from the broken bunk bed. "I'll settle myself and Akamaru in the corner over there."

"Well, since that's settled. It narrows down to us four." Sasuke said, as he noticed Choji coming in through the door.

"Ugh..my stomach.." Choji flopped himself on the ground and fell asleep.

Sasuke raised his eyebrow. "Very well then. I guess its us three." Gaara nodded, as he slipped in under the covers.

Sasuke slipped in from the other side, leaving the middle spot open. Was it reserved for me?

I slowly slipped in from the center and got in the middle. The lights were turned off and I could hear Choji and Kiba dozing off. I slowly closed my eyelids to fall asleep, but I felt something around my waist.

I kept thinking of Gaara because of what happened earlier, but then...Gaara was on my other side and the arm was...

I felt Sasuke's breathe on the back of my neck, but it didn't sound like normal sleeping breathing. It sounded more like...wait, could he be awake?

"Sasuke?" I whispered, as I felt his arm tightened around my waist. Then I felt another arm coming from the other side. I swear, I feel like a sandwich. I felt Sasuke smirk.

"You aren't the only one who's going to have fun with him."

"Who said I was?" Gaara smirked back.

This was going to be one long night.

It was finally morning. I woke up lazily, to see my shirt half off and my hair really messy. I looked to see both Sasuke and Gaara gone. In fact, Choji and Kiba were gone as well. Then I heard loud barking in front of me.

"What Akamaru?" I asked lazily. He continued to bark, as I grabbed him and decided to go downstairs. I scratched my head to see everyone dressed up and prompt.

"Good morning!" I grinned, and then I looked around. "What's happening?"

Everyone seemed to have a worried expression. "It's voting day."

"What?" What was voting day?"

"One of us is going to leave." Sakura explained. "And it could be you moron."

"Or you Sakura. My, my, you snored so loudly yesterday night, I simply couldn't sleep!" Ino smiled, as she patted Sakura.

"Well Ino, if you didn't squirm like a pig in your sleep, I would have slept more peacefully." Sakura smirked.

There was finally a click sound at the door, as Kakashi sensei came in the room. He held slips of paper and pens in his hand. He smiled at everyone. "Well, I see that eceryone is getting along."

He walked to the center of the room and passed out the papers and pens. "Okay. I want you guys all to the write the name of the person you really want to stay. Don't worry; it'll be anonymous, so I won't know. I'll mix them up and look at them and choose who is most capable of getting kicked out."

I thought hard, as I went into the corner. Who did I really want to stay? I looked at my crush, Sakura. She probably wrote down Sasuke. It was too obvious, but if she did write me, I would be happy...

I looked over to Gaara. He seemed content with who he wrote. Then I shifted to Sasuke. I guess I wouldn't choose Sasuke, since all the girls probably voted for him. I looked down at my empty blank sheet. Should I just put down Sakura?

My pen tip touched my sheet, as I heard a soft sneeze. I looked to the side to see Hinata gently rubbing her nose, as she smiled at whom she wrote on her paper. Hinata. I like her. She seems to be more deserving.

I smiled. I chose my person. I quickly wrote down Hinata's name, as I crumbled up the paper and handed it to Kakashi sensei. For some reason, I felt good for choosing Hinata. I smiled at her, as she blushed back in surprise.
