"So where's the money Naruto?" Sasuke said in a stern voice as he pulled out some money out of his safe.

"I have it just hang on." Naruto went into his room and pulled out a box from under his bed. He pulled out $200 dollars and frowned. His box that was once full of money is now empty in seconds. He didn't realize how hard it was to live without parents supporting them. He shook the thought out and shoved the box back under his bed and ran in the living room.

Kakashi waited on their couch, reading his book quietly until boys returned. Kairi on the other hand sat near Kakashi. She sat quietly as the silvered hair man remained reading. Kairi felt bad that Naruto had to pay for her stay at their home and it was all her fault that Kakashi found out about her. She didn't know that they were keeping her a secret.

So on that same morning she heard a knock on the door while the others were sleeping. She went out of the room to answer it. Naruto who was sleeping on the couch didn't hear the doorbell until Kairi had opened the door. Kakashi on the other hand had a talk with the boys and now all this mess had to be paid for.

"Okay Kakashi. $300." Sasuke handed the man the money as he got off the couch.

"Hmm. Now next month I'll be expecting the same amount as long as the girl stays here. You don't have to worry about me telling your parents about the girl. You all are old enough to make your own decisions so I'll be just looking past that and I'll keep it a secret.

"Thanks Kakashi. We really appreciate." Naruto scratched the back of his head as the man walked away with the money.

"As long as you pay up than there will be no problems at all." He smiled at the two boys and left the house.

Sasuke scowled at the door and walked into the kitchen. "Damn it. Now were broke."

"Shut up Sasuke. We'll just have to work over time and-"

"And get the money taken away from us at the beginning of the month." Sasuke added as he sat in a chair and glared at the girl. She looked at him and averted her eyes to Naruto.

"I'm sorry Naruto. I'll pay you back the money as soon as I can." Kairi said with an uneasy look on her face.

"That's okay. You don't need to pay me back."

"Don't tell her that you idiot. You better get the money to us by next month. If you don't get a $100 by next month you're out of here." Kairi winced at the cruel words he spat out but soon smiled.

"Of course."

"Don't listen to that asshole Kairi. Are your injuries okay?" He asked, changing the subject before it got out of hand.

"Yeah it is. Just a few more days and it'll heal nicely." She smiled at the blond. A loud crash erupted in the house as Kiba barged into the door.

"Yes she's awake." Kiba whispered as he walked toward the girl. "Good morning beautiful." He said with a grin.

"Good morning."

"Kiba what the hell. Do you want us to pay for a new door as well?" Naruto closed the door and glared at him.

"Sorry man but when I found out from Kakashi that Kairi was awake. I just had to rush in and see her." He turned back his attention to her and smiled. "Do you want to go to the movies?"

"Movies? I don't think I can." She motioned her wounds and Kiba smile soon faded.

"Aww man that's right. I'm sorry. Well maybe next week when you're all better." He insisted.

"Yeah, maybe."

Sasuke got up and shoved the annoying loud mouth aside. He went into his room and slammed the door shut. They just stared on at the corridor but soon sighed.

"I don't understand why he's like that." Naruto shrugged as Kiba took a seat next to Kairi.

"He can never appreciate anything in his life."

"It's all my fault." Kairi looked at the two boys and sighed. "I'm really sorry."

"Nah, as long as you're alright, everything will be okay." Naruto assured as he walked in the kitchen. "The only concern now is to get your wounds treated and healed."

Sitting by the window Kairi looked out at the sky. With everything that's she's been going through she never did had time to appreciate or observe the stars. She didn't thought about much while she was alone but only stared. Her eyes soon darted to the door as Sasuke entered the room. It was 2 in the morning and she just stared at him as he did the same to her. Sasuke, the bastard that he was just ignored her and walked to his bed and laid down.

"Since you're not sleeping than I'll be sleeping on my bed." He turned to face the wall and put the blanket on him.

"You're cruel you know that." Staring at the stars she leaned her head against the window.

"So what."

"I'm just saying that you're an asshole that's all. You must hear it all the time because that's what Kiba always call you. Instead of calling you by your name he calls you a bastard or an asshole and many other things while your not there."

"Like I give a damn."

"You should. They're your friends and your brother also calls you that." Kairi pointed out as she looked at his back.

"I don't care what others think about me and Kiba is not a friend." The Raven said coldly as he turned to face her with a scowl placed on his face.

"Well I don't either but at least you can light up a bit. By the way, how are you and Naruto brothers? You two have different last names." She inquired.

"Adoption. We were adopted but I chose to keep my last name and he did the same. Now answer me. What's your last name?"

She thought for a moment but she just had to come out and say it. "Kairi. Just plain Kairi. I don't have a last name."

"You don't have one or you don't want to tell me?"

"I'm not lying. I never had a last name. They called me Kairi and that's all. Nothing else." Her voice grew louder in frustration.

"Fine but who are 'they'."

"My former guardians."

"So how did you get the injuries?"

Kairi grew annoyed by all these questions but she knew that she had to at least give him answers for saving her life. As a bastard as he was she had to give him answers but they didn't have to be the truth.

"I was walking home late from work." She paused for a few seconds to gather her thoughts and soon continued. "And these guys beat me up and took my money." She said quickly.

"Like I would believe that. What the hell really happened?" Sasuke sat up. Running his hands through his hair, he stared at the brunette. "Tell me or I'll kick you out right now. I don't give a fuck what Naruto says but I'll kick you out and then call the police."

She sat there wide-eyed. She noticed how angry he was and she just sighed. He wouldn't let the subject go even if the damn house was on fire. He wanted information and as stubborn as he was he will do anything to pry it out of her.

"Jezz, Fine I'll tell you the truth. I owe money. Ever since I was 11 I owed tons of money. So I had to work for it. When I couldn't raise the money on time I was punished." She stopped the story from there. It was all true but only half what she had to go through. She didn't want to expose the whole truth about her.

"I see. How much money do you owe?"

"That is none of your business." She got up and head toward the door. She walked through the corridor and glanced at the blond who tossed and turned to find a comfortable position on the couch. Kairi smiled and went into the room beside her.

She went to the drawers that laid against the walls. Opening the drawers she looked at the clothing inside. She debated if she should borrow his clothes with out asking. Will he get mad at me?

She sighed and just took the blue shirt and white shorts. She felt uncomfortable with the clothes she was wearing. Her hair was oily and her scalp had dried blood still stuck on it. Her skin felt clammy and itched a lot.

She took a towel that laid on the drawer and went through the corridor until she got to the door at the end of the hallway. After a nice hot shower she laid on the bed and pulled the covers over her head and quickly went to sleep.

Naruto cursed under his breath as he got off the floor. He was having a dream about Kairi landing a kiss on him and inches from connecting their lips he woke up and found himself on the floor. He streaked his fingers through his hair and stretched.

"Damn, I hate sleeping on the couch." Going into his room he glared at the bed. Sasuke always had everything his way but enough was enough. The bastard was going to hear it from him now. He hated being pushed around and he was going to get him off of his bed. Standing on the side of the bed. He looked at the blanket that completely covered the raven's body.

"Sasuke. It's your damn turn to sleep on the couch." Naruto pulled the covers off of the bed in anger and he soon blushed. Kairi laid on his bed and he just stood there as his mind went back to his dream.

"Naruto?" She sat up rubbing her eyes and looked at the blushing blond.

"Oh, Kairi why are you in here?"

"Sasuke took the bed and I just went in here to go to sleep." She looked at Naruto and smiled. "You can sleep with me if the couch is uncomfortable."

"Sl-Sleep w-with you?" He stuttered, he tried to breath slowly to keep his heart from beating rapidly but it was unsuccessful. She took his wrist in her hand and pulled him toward her.

"Just sleep here. I hate it that you can't sleep well because of me." Naruto sat on the edge of the bed as sweat slid down his face. Kairi let go of his hand and smiled at the blonds turned back.

"You sure it's alright with you." Naruto said nervously.

"Of course." She replied sweetly as she laid back down. Naruto soon laid down beside her. She didn't really think of it much and she soon turned to him with a smile.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, its just, I really appreciate everything. I promise to pay you back as soon as possible."

"You don't need to do that. I'm just-" Kairi placed a hand on his chest and leaned her head against his shoulder. His heart was beating rapidly and he hoped that she didn't notice. With Naruto sweating bullets, Kairi closed her eyes and fell asleep.

He soon calmed down moments later. Her hand on his chest was relaxing and he wasn't really used to girls around him, seeing that all the girls he admired clung to Sasuke. Kairi was gorgeous, Naruto could see that but no girl like her would ever even talk to him or in his situation, sleep beside him.

"Naruto." The blond was startled and he quickly looked at her who still had her eyes closed.

"Am I making you uncomfortable? I can sleep on the couch if I'm making you uncomfortable." She said quietly.

"No that's okay. I'm perfectly fine." Naruto's heart began to speed up slightly as her breathing pressed against his neck.

"I'm glade. I haven't felt safe in so long but now I can sleep easily with you here." The brunette drifted off to sleep and Naruto raised an eyebrow. He was worried at what she had said but what did it meant? Pushing the thought out of his mind he placed his hand on hers. He rested his cheek on the top of her head and soon enough, he fell fast asleep as well.

"Fuck." Sasuke jerked up and walked through the hall way and into the living room. Looking out the window that was beside the front door he cursed. Opening the front door he glared at the intruders.

"Hey Sasuke." The girl flung her arms around his arm and smiled at him. As Sasuke fought off the pink haired girl another one clung to his other arm.

"Come on you two it's early in the morning. Why don't you leave the man alone? You two can be bothersome." Shikamaru let himself in as the others behind him did the same.

"I'll let him go if Ino lets him go first." The blond glared at her and stuck her nose in the air.

"No way Sakura, you first." Soon enough the two girls were pulled away from him by Kiba.

"Kiba you bastard." The girls said in unison.

"Come on lets just get Naruto and leave. Oh and Kairi to." Kiba looked around the living room and then glanced at Sasuke. "Where's Naruto?"

"Must have gone to work." He said monotonously.

"He doesn't even work today. Well we'll find him on the way to the movies." Kiba pushed passed Sasuke and head toward his room but was soon yanked back by an annoyed Sasuke.

"I sent the girl in Naruto's room. I wanted my room back so she's in there." Sasuke said coldly as he pointed to the closed door.

"Kiba said she was gorgeous. I want to meet her." Sakura stated as she quietly opened the door.

"You better not be so loud. You might startle her." The red head with his arms cross said plainly.

"Don't worry Gaara. Well you never worry so never mind." She whispered as everyone entered the room. The curtains were closed and it was hard to see in the dark room. Gathering inside. Shikamaru head toward the curtains and opened it. Light flooded the room and everyone stared at the bed in shock.

"Holy shit." Kiba whispered.

"oh my gosh." Sakura whispered as well as shock clung to her throat.

The two on the bed was still fast asleep regardless of the light that illuminated the room. Kairi, with one hand on Naruto's chest and a leg around his leg was peaceful leaning her head on his shoulder as Naruto's head leaned on top of hers. The whole group stared at the scene for a while, trying to let it sink in.

Sasuke looked outside the door as the group of people blocked the bed. He cocked an eyebrow and wondered why they were just staring. Sasuke was curious and he entered the room and pushed through the group of people. When he finally saw the two on the bed he clenched his hand into a fist.

" Holy shit man! I never knew you were such a fucking player!" Kiba spat out as he smiled. Naruto jerked himself up and stared at his friends that stood at the edge of his bed. Looking at Kairi who slowly sat up he blushed furiously.

"Wh-What are you guys doing in here?"

"Jezz, if we knew you were in that position than we would have came back later." Shikamaru said with a sigh.

"Kiba." Kairi glanced at all the people in the room and sat there. "Naruto who are these people?" Naruto sat on the edge of the bed and got up. He struggled to walk as the blanket on the floor stared to wrap around his feet. The blond stumbled and fell on his face as the blanket wrapped around his feet.

"Naruto are you okay?" Kairi got up as well and went by his side.

"My clothes!" Sasuke shouted.

Kairi glanced at the clothes she was wearing and she could have sworn that she picked out Naruto's clothing.

"I needed to take a shower and I went to Naruto's drawer and grabbed what ever there was inside I didn't know that it was yours." Sasuke glared at her innocent looking expression on her face and stomped out of the room and sat on the couch.

"You better get out of those clothes and put on some of mines before the asshole blows a gasket." He went to his closet, forgetting about the people in his room and pulled out an orange t-shirt and blue shorts. Handing it to her, the clothing was soon taken away by Sakura.

"No way is she prancing around with these clothes." Sakura threw the clothing to Naruto and smiled at Kairi. "You can wear these." Shuffling through her bag she pulled out a mini skirt and a white tank top and gave it to her. "Ino and I thought we were going to the beach but since were not, thanks to Kiba's miscalculation. I better give this to you."

"Don't blame me. I thought Shikamaru said beach alright." Kiba informed.

"Thanks." She head out of the door and head toward the bathroom. Averting her eyes away from the angered raven. As soon as the bathroom door closed Kiba smirked at the blushing blond.

"So you slept with her didn't you?" Kiba elbowed Naruto's shoulder as if that was going to bring out information.

"I didn't sleep with her. She just hugged me that's all. We didn't do anything." Naruto walked into the living room as the group followed moments later.

"Come on Naruto we saw everything." Kiba hollered.

"If you saw everything than you would have noticed our clothes on. If we did anything we would have been butt naked. We didn't do anything okay." He shook his head as he sat beside Sasuke who immediately glared daggers at the blond.

"Than what were you two doing?" Sasuke said as venom seeped through his gritting teeth.

"I said we didn't do anything. I thought it was you in there and I was going to tell you to get out of my room and sleep on the couch but it was Kairi. So she offered to sleep on the couch but I didn't want her to and I told her I was going to sleep on the couch. Then she said to sleep beside her so that's what I did. That's all. Why would you care anyways?" Naruto took a breath; he hated explaining himself over and over again although in this type of situation he had to make sure things were straight.

"Because he's jealous. That's why he's so mad." Everyone turned to Gaara who leaned against the front door. Sasuke ignored Gaara's comment as Kairi stepped into the living room.

"Oh my gosh you're so cute." Sakura grabbed Kairi's hand and spun her around. She had a couple of light scars on her legs but it wasn't too noticeable. She showed her to the group. "Okay let me introduce you. I'm Sakura Haruno and the blond is Ino Yamanaka and the ponytail is Shikamaru Nara, Red head by the door is Gaara and the guy with the chips is Choji Akimichi and you already know the annoying Kiba Inuzuka." They all smiled at except for Gaara who just stared.

"Your cuts healed well." Naruto looked at her as he placed a hand on his jaw. Making sure he wasn't drooling. Sasuke glanced at her as well and he had to admit that she was beautiful. He turned away before she could notice that he was staring at her.

"So lets go already." Choji said impatiently.

"Alright jezz." Sakura spat out in anger. They all exited the house and Kairi was fidgeting over the skirt as she pulled it down. Naruto smiled at her and grabbed her wrist.

"It's too short." She said as she was led to the front door.

"No it's not. You look great. It's perfect and if anyone tries to say otherwise I'll knock them out." Kairi smiled and Naruto inched his hand down to hold hers but Sasuke shoving him aside separated the two leaving him in the middle.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm coming." Sasuke said as he crossed his arms.

"You never come with us. Why do you want to come now?" Naruto questioned.

"Because I can." Naruto didn't bother to argue with his brother but just continued to walk. Kairi stared at the two boys who both held a scowl on their faces. Do they always fight like this? She thought to herself as she followed Naruto and Sasuke to the movies.
