Mesa no own Naruto

Seito: this was suppose to have been posted on Christmas but my computer went screwy so yeah… it's being posted late. Apologize for the lateness. By the way the chapter has two songs in it instead of one.

I'm not going to answer the reviews this time. But THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING!!!

---------

Picnics are fun, especially on a cool summer day like this. You're looking forward to spending the day cloud watching with your boyfriend. Meanwhile your roommate runs into trouble when a man from nowhere comes and hugs her! You can bet your boyfriend's brother isn't going to stand there and watch. Also your teachers get closer to figuring out your secret… but you're not worried. The two finding out can be trusted. What else is going to happen? Eh? What's this? A deity and words on the wind?

Spring has come

And the weather is nice today.

Even the cat is yawning

on top of the roof.

I want to go somewhere on such a day.

Put some big rice balls into the lunchbox,

and stuff it up.

Seika squeezed her wet hair, causing the carpet beneath her to have wet spots. "Some old lady threw water on me on my way here. By the way Sasuke is sleeping over with Naruto." Itachi stared at her.

"You came all the way here and kept me from my bed to tell me that?! You could have just called," Itachi said getting mad.

Seika glared at him. "I wouldn't have even bothered to call much less come down here. Naruto locked me out of the house this morning and I don't have my house keys. When I went back, they were both asleep. After nearly an hour of trying to get the door open, I came here. So in other words, I. Need. A. Place. To. Stay. Tonight."

Itachi blinked. Did Seika say what he thinking he just said? His mind was tired to think straight so he said, "Okay. Yeah sure."

It was Seika's turn to blink. Somehow she didn't expect that kinda of answer. Well at least not that easily. "Okay. Can I borrow a towel," she asked.

Itachi headed out of the room, motioning Seika to follow which she did. "Bathroom down the hall. I'll get you some clean clothes."

Seika let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you," she said. Itachi smiled. His brain managed to process one thing in its tired state.

"So does this mean we're friends," he asked innocently.

Seika glared at him. "Don't push your luck," she said. Itachi's smile turned into a grin. He guessed that meant a yes…

Itachi stumbled into one of the many living rooms in his house, half asleep. Maybe he should go back to bed. Yes that sounded like a tempting idea. But he didn't expect to see Seika sitting on the coach, flipping through random TV channels. "Seika," he asked, disbelief filled him. What was she doing here?! And was that his clothes she was wearing?!! What happened last night?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seika clicked off the TV, only to turn around to come across her panicking classmate. Her eyebrow rose. What the hell was he panicking for? "Why are you panicking," she asked dryly.

"Seika why are you here," asked Itachi weakly.

Seika's eyebrow rose higher. "What are you talking about? I was locked out of my house last night remember?"

Itachi stopped panicking as last night conversations finally came back to him. Whew! Itachi didn't want to think if something else had happened. Seika looked at him, edging away slightly. "Err… okay," she muttered. There was something strange about her classmate.

Naruto stumbled sleepily into the kitchen. "Ohayo," he muttered. Sasuke looked up from his cooking. "Ohayo," said Sasuke. "Sleep well?" Naruto nodded tiredly before slumping onto the table too tired to move or do anything else. The only reason why he was up was because he felt Sasuke leave just minutes ago. If not, Naruto would still be sleeping for the next hour.

"Here have some breakfast," said Sasuke, laughing softly. He placed a plate of food in front of his boyfriend before taking a plate for himself. Sasuke took the seat across from Naruto and began to eat. Naruto snapped awake at the smell of food and his boyfriend's voice. In moments the food was gone.

----

"Seika never came home yesterday," commented Naruto.

"Yeah. I wonder what happened to her," asked Sasuke. They had taken a quick pause in their video games. Naruto sat; hugging Kyuubi, watching his boyfriend while Sasuke lay on the floor staring up at the ceiling.

Silence fell. "Hey I know let's go on a picnic," said Naruto, breaking the silence.

Sasuke sat up and looked at Naruto. He grinned. "Okay," said Sasuke. He hadn't been on a picnic in ages.

"Yay!" shouted Naruto. "We can invite Iruka-sensei and Kakashi-sensei too and even barbecue too!!"

Before Naruto could say anything else, there was a knock at the door. KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!!! Sasuke scrambled to the door and opened it. It revealed a very strange sight.

There stood Seika with a plastic bag in one hand and a long blue bag that Sasuke didn't see Seika leave with yesterday, in the other. Her clothes were too big for her and looked oddly familiar. She wore a black shirt with a big collar and long black pant. Behind her stood Itachi in his usual black cloak with red clouds. "Ohayo gozaimasu, otouto," said Itachi cheerfully. Seika rolled her eyes. This was the same person who looked half asleep five minutes ago and was falling asleep as he walked over here.

"Aniki? Why are you here," asked Sasuke. He suddenly recognized the clothes Seika was wearing. "And are those your clothes that Seika is wearing?"

Seika's expression on her face was mocking challenging Sasuke to repeat that sentence. Itachi didn't answer. "Seika where were you," asked Naruto, coming up behind Sasuke. He hadn't heard the conversation that just took place. "And whose clothes are you wearing?"

Seika's near emotionless glazed switched from Sasuke to her roommate. "You locked me out last night," she said plainly and dryly. Then she walked inside and went to her room to change.

"Oh," said Naruto. "And let me guess. She got stuck at our house yesterday," said Sasuke.

Itachi nodded. "Yeah I guess you could say that," he said.

"A picnic?" Itachi looked at Sasuke who was back to lying on the floor. Seika sat nearby, occupying herself with her book from yesterday.

"Yup," said Naruto. He hugged Kyuubi again. "A picnic."

"Sure why not," said Itachi. It had been awhile since he went on a picnic. The last time must have been a few years before his parents died. Sasuke was probably around the ages of five or six when they had their last family picnic. Naruto looked at Seika. Sasuke and Itachi's glaze also shifted to her.

"No," said Seika. She didn't even look up from her book. "There some things I need to do today. No."

"Is it possible to do those things and still come," suggested Sasuke. Seika looked up and shook her head. "No it will take all day almost."

"So we'll plan a dinner picnic instead," said Naruto.

Seika sighed and stood up after marking her page. "Sorry Naruto. I can't. Just go on without me. If I finish early I'll come. Just don't be surprised if I don't show."

Naruto pouted slightly. "Fine. But you've been disappearing a lot these days. What are you doing?"

Seika smiled gently. "That's a secret," she said.

"Can you at least help us prepare," pleaded Naruto. He did those cute fox eyes. Seika twitched. "Fine," she said, giving in.

--------------

And never had she regretted those words. Oh well… better just deal with it. "So did we get everything?"

Seika looked over the list that Naruto gave her. She had to make a few modifications or else everyone would have one side dish like rice and ramen for dinner. "I think so," she said.

So while Naruto and Sasuke were gathering things they would need (blankets, cups, plates, ect) Seika and Itachi were shopping for food. Surprisingly the two soon-to-be seniors were actually getting along for once and not annoying the hell out of each other. Perhaps they were becoming friends.

So Seika was checking the things off the list as Itachi held the packages of food. There were whispers in the crowd as people walked by.

"They make a cute couple you think?"

"Isn't that Uchiha Itachi?"

"I didn't know he had a girlfriend."

"My daughter must be heartbroken at this."

"They look like they're going to be married."

"Quite. That girl has him holding the bags of groceries already."

Seika was oblivious to what was being said but Itachi heard them. There was a faint, unnoticed, blush on his pale face. With a final check, Seika put the list away and picked up the one package at her feet. "That's everything," she said. Itachi quickly shook off his blush so that Seika didn't see it.

Out of the corner of her eye, Seika spotted a particular movement that seemed to stand out in the crowd. She turned around, only to find whatever it was gone. "Something wrong?" asked Itachi. He looked in the same direction as Seika but saw nothing unusual, just people walking by.

Seika turned back around to face Itachi. She shook her head and said, "No. It's nothing. Just thought I saw something weird."

They began to head towards the park. They had taken no more then 15 steps before a hand suddenly grabbed her arm. Seika looked back, trying to free herself from the person's grip. Before she could do anything, Seika found herself in a breathtaking bear hug. Itachi looked back to be greeted by a strange sight.

A tall man with chocolate brown hair and sapphire eyes was hugging Seika. He towered over Seika and if it wasn't for her white hair, Itachi was sure he would have missed her. Squished against the strange man, a familiar smell invaded Seika's nose. She knew this smell. This man…

Itachi set the bags down and headed towards Seika and the man. He didn't know who this guy was or how he knew Seika but they were too close for his comfort and probably Seika's as well. Just as he was about to say something, the man started to mumble, "Sora…" Itachi blink. Who was Sora? Whoever it was Seika apparently knew because she reacted to the name. She kneeled the man in the stomach, causing him to let go of her.

The man landed with a 'thud' on the ground. People quickly moved away as he fell. A few stopped to watch the scene unfold. "Seika not Sora. You've got the wrong person," Seika said curtly. She picked up the package she dropped and walked away. Itachi looked between the man on the ground and retreating back of his friend. What had just happened here?

I'm hungry.

Let's eat lunch!

On the grass under the shadow of the trees,

let's sit and rest for a bit.

When I fill my mouth with tasty air and boiled eggs,

somehow I feel so fortunate. The spring wind makes

the dandelions fly gently.

"Hey looked at that one."

"It looks like a cat."

"… Really? I was thinking a bird."

"It's a cat."

"…"

"What?"

"Never mind. Hey that one over there looks like a dragon."

"Aa I see that. The one next to it looks like a ball."

"I say it looks more like a heart."

"That could be true too."

Naruto and Sasuke were lying on the blue blanket, watching the clouds roll by. They were cloud watching. The two had found everything they needed very quickly. They set everything up even faster. So while Seika and Itachi were running around, shopping, they were relaxing. (Seika: Why those two… Seito: -Ties up Seika- You can continue reading now.)

A cool wind blew through the park. The clouds were high up in the sky, drifting lazily with the wind. The sun shined brightly in the light blue sky. The trees were green and lush. Nearby water rushed towards the lake. Birds flew and sang as they worked. It was peaceful.

No fan girls running around, ruining their quiet moment. No worries that people were going to find out their secret. It was just them under the blue sky. Just times were often rare but both boys enjoyed it. Sometimes just the fact that they knew the other was there was enough.

"I think that one looks like you, Sasuke."

"Oh?"

"Yeah."

"Well then the one next to it, must be you."

"You think so."

"Of course."

-----

Meanwhile an deity wearing a pale blue robe and a navy sash with one white, bird-like, feathery wing and one black, dragon-like, leathery wing was flying above in the sky, unseen by anyone. Her sun-kissed brown hair flew in the air as brilliant amethyst eyes caught something interesting down below.

Wanting a closer look, she flew down closer to the ground. She landed in one of the trees, watching from the branch she stood on. A small soft smile graced her face at the scene before her.

Two boys lay in the green grass on a blue blanket, staring up at the sky. She assumed they were watching the clouds pass by. How cute. She enjoyed cloud watching too and stargazing as well. Her smile widen as she recognized who the boys were. 'Fate has brought them back together again. Mother must have planned it,' the deity thought. 'It's nice though. They deserve to be together. They did back then and they do now. Every lifetime I come back and watch them and every lifetime they're always so cute to watch.'

-Hotaru?-

Hotaru turned her glaze from the boys in front of her and looked up towards the blue sky. She heard the familiar voice that echoed through her mind though the link she shared. A voice she knew all too well.

-Yes, mother?-

-You're late. Where are you?-

-I will be there mother. Just checking up on something.-

-On what?-

Hotaru returned her glaze to the two boys. -It's nothing. Just a beautiful scene.- She smiled once more at the boys, just as Sasuke looked up towards her. Then with a sudden gust of wind she disappeared from view.

-------

Sasuke sat up and looked up at a tree. He felt someone was watching them. But when he looked, there was nothing there. Naruto sat up too. "What are you looking at Sasuke?" he asked. He looked at the same tree and saw nothing as well.

Sasuke shook his head. "Never mind. I just thought I saw something," he said.

Naruto looked at his boyfriend curiously. "Like what," he asked.

Sasuke thought about it. "I don't know. It looked like an angel but it had one black wing. She smiled at me and then she disappeared." Then he shook his head. "Nah. It's probably just a trick of the light," he said.

Floating in the blue sky,

Let's enjoy ourselves like the dolphins jumping.

The splashing sprays, like jewels,

The voice of you calling me

At last, I wake up.

Oh, it was just a dream. It felt good!

My half-asleep smiling face turns red in the sunset.

It's about time to go. The warm sun

doesn't vanish inside my heart.

Seika rang the doorbell. The door opened to reveal a lady in her forties dressed in a green dress. Her blue hair fell down to her shoulders and pink eyes held kindness in them. Golden earrings hung from her ears and a simple silver chain was around her neck. She stood just slightly taller then Seika because of her white high heel shoes. Like Seika, she too was a small petite woman.

"Seika," said the lady. "Thank you so much for coming." She moved out of the way so that Seika could come in. Seika smile and walked inside. This was not the first time she had been here. She placed her long blue bag high up so that no one could get to it. Including a certain small girl.

Seika didn't want anyone playing with the contents inside of the bag. Someone could get hurt. "You're welcome, Mrs. Amae. I'll be happy to watch Chibi."

Mrs. Amae smiled as well. "Thank you. I feel bad calling on you so often, especially in two days in a roll. It's these dinners we have to attend to."

Mr. Amae walked into the room wearing a black suit. He was a tall, lanky, man who just made 50 that greatly towered over his small wife. He had dark blue hair and jaded green eyes. "Hello Seika. Thank you for watching Chibi for us." Seika just smiled again. The Amaes were nice people she had met in the market one day. With some talking and calling, Seika often watched their 6-year-old daughter Chibi during the summer when the Amaes had many dinner parties to attend to because of their jobs.

Then a small girl with blue hair in pigtails and pink eyes in a yellow dress ran into the room and promptly tackled Seika in a hug. She looked a lot like her mother, being small and having her mother's features. "Seika," the small girl cried out. She was happy to see her favorite babysitter.

Seika patted the girl on her head and smiled. "Hello Chibi," she said fondly.

"Well we'll be going now," said Mr. Amae.

"You be a good girl now," Mrs. Amae told Chibi. Then turning to Seika she said, "Thank you again, Seika."

Seika just smiled once more. "Don't worry about," she said cheerfully. "Have fun at your dinner." As the door closed, Seika finished her thoughts. 'Beside,' she thought, 'Not only is Chibi a great kid, but I need the money. Plus this helps with my training.' Seika grinned as she thought about it. Who would have thought that watching kids build patience and helps with discipline? Not mention endurance, especially when a certain little girl manages to get in the cookies jar or any other sugary sweet candy/food before Seika can stop her.

A summer shower decided to show up. Little at first then it increase, until it was a consent downpour. While everything but the blanket was under cover; the blanket, Sasuke and Naruto were soaked. They didn't care. Puddles formed in the ground as Naruto jumped into them, splashing Sasuke with the muddy water. Dark clouds loomed above, hiding the bright sun from view. The cold wind danced through the green leaves as rain continued to pour in a consent patter. Pitter-patter. Pitter-patter.

"Singing in the rain!"

Sasuke sweat drop if that was possible in the rain. O-okay. "Naruto what are you saying," asked Sasuke.

The blond looked back at his boyfriend and shrugged. Water dripped down his golden locks causing ripples in the puddle he stood in. "Dunno. I just felt like I needed to say that."

Sasuke grinned and pushed his wet bangs out of his face. "Oh well." Let his boyfriend be what he wanted be. Sasuke wouldn't have it any other way. Any other way would make Naruto not Naruto. Grinning, he then jumped into a puddle and splashed Naruto with the wet water. The blond sputtered, his hair was even more drenched.

"SASUKE!!!"

The window is open, letting the scent of summer and rain in

But all that is ignored as I'm suddenly hit with nostalgia

Itachi looked outside as the rain continued to pour. He had seen the rain clouds and decided to leave after it stopped. The summer showers were usually brief anyways. Beside he had all the food so Naruto and Sasuke couldn't start without him.

He was sitting in the kitchen by the white marble counter. Resting his elbow on the counter next to him and then resting his head in his hand, Itachi watch the rain fall. There was something disturbing familiar with this summer rain. He didn't know what nor did he know why. It was just something familiar.

He never heard the conversation that lingered on the wind.

"I promise you will see summer rain…"

Seika looked outside as she heard the rainfall. Chibi was sitting the corner playing a game with her dolls, not paying attention to the rain outside. Seika frowned and stood up. One of the windows was open and the rain was coming down hard.

Just as she was about to close the window, Seika stuck her hand outside to catch the falling raindrops. They landed in her hand with a small splash. She brought her hand in, watching the raindrop run down her hand and onto her arm. There was something familiar about this rain…

Again the wind spoke and again no one heard.

"I promised you that you would see summer rain, didn't I? Here's your summer rain…"

Tenki yohou hazureta aozora chotto eshita kibun

Semi no gasshou sakikake no himawari hitori ja mottainai kara

The weather forecast was wrong; there was a little blue sky that day

The chirping of the locusts and the waving of the sunflowers only emphasized

that I was alone

The rain stopped all to soon. The dark clouds disappeared replaced with their whiter counterparts. The sun began to shine again. There still a few puddles left but Naruto took care of them quickly. 15 minutes after the rain stopped Kakashi and Iruka showed up, slightly drenched as well. It looked like they were caught in the rain on the way there but managed to find shelter unlike Naruto and Sasuke who weren't even looking for shelter. "You two weren't out in the rain all this time," said Iruka going immediately into mother-hen mode as he saw the soaked boys. "You'll catch a cold."

"That's okay," said Naruto. "Beside it was fun."

"We'll just both be sick," commented Sasuke lightly.

Iruka looked at Kakashi. Kakashi then walked in between Naruto and Sasuke and swung his arms around the two small boys. "We've been meaning to ask you two. But are you two together as in like us," asked Kakashi bluntly.

Naruto grinned and Sasuke smiled weakly. "Well you two are the first two to notice," said Naruto not directly answering the question. Kakashi let them go.

"So who else knows?" asked Iruka.

"Just Seika. Only cause she was there at the right time," grumbled Sasuke as he thought back to reason why he was interrupted on that day.

-Meanwhile-

A white hair girl sneezed suddenly startling the girl she was watching.

-----

"Ah I see," said Kakashi. "Well anytime you want to we can all go on a double date." Sasuke's smile strengthened a bit. He had almost forgotten. Kakashi and Iruka were also going out. Somehow remembering that fact gave Sasuke comfort. Comfort that Naruto and him weren't the only ones like 'that'. It was just nice in a strange way.

--

Itachi showed up soon enough with the food. He was a bit puzzled at why his English and Math teachers were here but after Naruto explain it to him, he shrugged it off. Okay his teachers showed. Strange but who really care? Beside he was more distracted by why the shower of rain that just took place seemed familiar. It had rained many times in the summer before and many times Itachi watch the rain fall. Why did that one seem familiar?

"Pass the salt, aniki."

Itachi handed Sasuke the salt, who in turn gave to Naruto. That was one thing that was bothering him. Why did that shower of rain seem so familiar? He didn't get it. Itachi shook his head. He had other things to worry about. Mainly the trip he was leaving on. He had already cleared it with Sasuke, Naruto, and Seika for Sasuke to stay over at Naruto and Seika's house instead home by himself.

Just then I saw you as you passed by

Of course, your summer sandals were flapping off your feet

Your energy was so bright it wiped away my worries

Since last year, you've completely grown out of your small T-shirt

"What's wrong with your brother, Sasuke?" asked Naruto. Sasuke looked at his brother who was strangely quiet.

Sasuke shrugged. "I have no idea. Maybe he's thinking of his trip. It is a martial arts training trip and you know how much he likes martial arts."

"Actually he's usually this quiet in class," commented Kakashi. "Provided he isn't bugging Seika. Then it becomes an interesting fight between them. It's surprising that it doesn't go above whispering noise level."

"Speaking of Seika where is she?" asked Iruka.

Naruto and Sasuke shrugged. "Good question," said Sasuke.

"We have no idea," said Naruto, "She didn't tell us."

Seika opened the door to reveal the Amaes. She checked the clock on the wall. Before looking back at the Amaes completely confused. They weren't supposed to be back for another two hours at least.

"Hello Seika," said Mr. Amae. "We left early so you could go home and have the rest night to relax for yourself." He handed a shocked Seika her money.

"Um… okay then. Night Mr. and Mrs. Amae. Night Chibi," said Seika. The small girl waved by from the living room.

Seika then picked up her bag and left waving goodbye. Outside under the streetlights she looked up at the stars above. 'Well I guess I can see if everyone is at the park now,' she thought to herself. She headed towards the park.

Kinou no sukoshi shizunde 'ta yokogao zutto hikakatte 'ta n' da

The way your profile looked as you ran past can't even be compared with how

you used to look

But today that's left behind! The lunch I made when I got up early is

forgotten just looking at you

Seika quickly found them. It wasn't hard. She just had to follow the noise. It led her straight to them. Sasuke spotted her first. "Seika," he called out. Naruto hugged his roommate. "Hey you made it," he said excitably.

"Umm… yeah…"

"Hey Seika," said Kakashi. He waved to his student.

"Umm… hi Kakashi-sensei," said Seika. 'I don't think I'll get use to the fact that he, Iruka-sensei and Naruto are friends,' she thought to herself, sweat dropping a bit. It was so strange to hear your roommate talk to your teachers and you knowing the fact that your teachers knew your roommate well. It was just strange in Seika's book.

Both Itachi and Iruka also said hello. Seika noticed that Itachi seemed out of it. "What's wrong with him?" she asked. She got four shrugs. O-okay. That didn't help at all. Oh well. Not her problem. Itachi could handle whatever problem he's dealing with. 'I think,' thought Seika. 'At least I hope so.'

----

"Achoo!"

"Bless you," said Itachi.

Iruka looked at Naruto and said, "I told you two would catch a cold." Right after he said that Sasuke sneezed.

"Achoo!!"

"Oh dear," said Seika. Kakashi then started to sneeze.

"Oh no. Not you too," said Iruka. Seika signed and Itachi suppressed his smirk. It seemed like everyone was sick having been caught out in the rain. Itachi and Seika were probably the only ones who wouldn't be sick tomorrow because they were both indoors when it was raining.

Seika sighed again and ran her hand through her hair. I guess that meant she was now taking care of Naruto and Sasuke. They'll both be sick tomorrow in bed with colds, sneezes and a slightly fever. She looked at Itachi. "It figures the time you leave for a couple of days, I end up taking care of Sasuke and Naruto while they're sick." Itachi did smirk that time.

"Hey! We're not sick yet," protested Naruto. He then sneezed again. "ACHOO!! ACHOO!!"

Seika nodded and sarcastically said, "Sure thing Naruto. Makes sure you tell me that tomorrow."

Then both Sasuke and Naruto sneezed at the same time, "ACHOO!!" Seika just sighed again and Itachi chuckled. Seika had a feeling that come tomorrow, she and Iruka will be playing nurse while two boys and one teacher laid sick in bed while her classmate goes gallivanting around the world on his trip. Sighing for the four time this around hour, Seika rubbed her temples at the thought of what tomorrow held. Damnit! Tomorrow was going to be a very long day…

Itsu demo kimi no mikata de iru yo

Usually it's clever, but like something you can't see.

Under the sun, your face is lit up brightly

My heart's energy will surely grow just seeing your smile.
