After sometime the hokage finished saying all the details. He immediately left the house because he has some meetings to attend to. Ebisu also went with the hokage. They left the two boys sitting there like ducks. An hour passed but still no one talked. Well for Naruto… he was irritated but tried not to talk. Sasuke just sat there, in front of Naruto. He was watching the clock as the second hand moves. Finally, Naruto can't take it. He gasped for some air but then he sighed.
" hey?…" he called the attention of Sasuke.
Sasuke just turned his eyes to him. he didn't even bother to say something.
Naruto was irritated with the manner Sasuke was showing. " why don't you say something?" naruto's right eyebrow was raised, indicating how annoyed he was. " did your tongue rolled back to your throat?" he said not minding what the other boy might say or do.
At last Sasuke turned his head to the blond boy. " hn. Mind your own business!" he said then he placed his arms to the table forming a triangle then he ducked his head to his arms.
' well at least he talked!… is that old man really serious about this boy… I mean I can protect my self!' he said to his self as he watched the other boy.
Even though sasuke's head was buried to his arms he still saw the blond boy, watching him. ' what's so important about this boy? He looks normal. He doesn't look like a son of a land owner… well… it's not as if it will hurt if I ask him…' Sasuke pulled his head up while Naruto was deep in his thoughts. " hey, you…" he called Naruto.
It took Naruto some moments to realize that the uchiha boy was calling him. " what do you want?" he sounded a bit annoyed.
"tell me… why do the hokage keep you in here?" he asked with out hesitation.
Naruto understood the question but didn't answer right away. He never asked it to himself or the persons who knew him. he recalled everything those persons had said to him, but nothing answers the question. " I…don't know…" he said, his eyes was now looking at the table.
' how come? why doesn't he know?' Sasuke was lost in his thoughts, thinking what could be their reason keeping the blond away from the villagers.
Naruto didn't think much further. " your name is Sasuke, right. Why did you accept this mission?" he asked plainly.
Sasuke sighed before answering, " I thought this mission would be great. And here I am now… taking care of a blond boy." He said a bit whining.
" tell me, is it beautiful outside?" Naruto was beginning to be curious.
Sasuke looked at the window, " to tell you the truth… no."
Naruto, with out thinking asked something, " does your family love you?"
The uchiha boy suddenly stared at the blond but then he looked outside again. " they did." ' what the hell am I saying! Why am I answering his questions!'
Naruto shifted from his position. " why talk in the past?" he looked at his deep black eyes.
"be-" he stopped. ' why do I have to answer that… it's not as if it will hurt, right!' he thought. Then he continued again. " because… they were killed."
"don't you have any relatives?" he asked again.
'Men this guy is really annoying. Can't he even sense that I don't want to talk about it!' sasuke's right eye brow raised but he closed his eyes thinking deeply so he won't be pissed off.
"hey… don't you have any relatives?" he repeated the question to the uchiha. But then the other boy didn't answered again. " hey…hey…oi, Sasuke?… hey" this time he shook sasuke's shoulder.
Now the black haired boy is annoyed. " will you stop that!" he slapped naruto's hand away from his shoulder. "why don't you mind your own business and stop asking stupid questions!"
Naruto became silent. He turned his chair 180 degrees and sat down. he was now looking at the window. Naruto saw a bird, flying by its self. He followed the birds every movement with his eyes.
While Sasuke, on the other hand was looking at the blond boy. He remembered what Ebisu had said about Naruto, that he too doesn't have any relatives. ' so we're just the same… I bet it's not that nice living here and can't go outside…' Sasuke thought, still looking at him. then suddenly Naruto spoke.
" you know…you're lucky…" he paused.
'lucky?… if you just know how they were brutally killed and who killed them' Sasuke said to his mind.
Naruto continued, "because you felt the love of your family and because you saw them…" he stopped then he tilted his head downward.
"n-naruto…" Sasuke said as if he was whispering. ' his more hurt than I do…' " didn't you met your parents?" he asked in monotone.
Naruto placed his foot to the edge of the chair, buried his face to his knees and wrapped his arms around his legs. " no… I didn't met them not even in a picture…"
