The song died down to soft humming, then to silence…
"Achoo…crap, Sasuke's cursing me again."
Naruto blinked, confused, and cracked a cheery smile, "maybe you just got a cold from running here in the rain?"
"Yeah, but it's always more fun to blame Sasuke," Faith answered with a hearty laugh. "It's getting late, I'd better go back." She took a look at her watch and added, "Naruto, let me use your phone. It's not getting late; it is late."
"Hun? Oh, ya, on the counter over there."
After digging through a three feet tall pile of junk, Faith came to the conclusion that Naruto doesn't call people very often. "Mikoto-sama? It's me, Faith…yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry, I should've called. I'll be righ…um, can I sleep over at Naruto's house tonight? We're going fishing early tomorrow, so it's easier to leave from his place…yeah I'll bring yall some fish. Ok thanks."
"You're staying?"
"Sure." With a genuine smile plastered on, Faith plopped down on the couch and went straight to sleep.
Naruto stared at Faith in disbelief for a few seconds, and then remembered that this is Faith. This is who she is. Chuckling, he wandered into his bedroom.
See you later, Naruto. Faith thought as she walked out the door.
On the couch lay a note, "Meet me behind Ino's house."
