Chap. 5

They entered a part of town that only the wealthy ever trod. Naruto knew that he didn't belong there, but Sasuke did.

"We'll head to my house." The stoic boy said, eyes still on the road. "We can wait til the heat is off but we can't leave until then. The cops are probably stopping every car and searching them for anyone present at the race… GOD, how did they find out?" Sasuke slammed his palms on the steering wheel. Naruto was taken aback by Sasuke's sudden out burst but didn't say anything.

'Sasuke's house, huh. I bet it's a ten story tall mansion with maids and whatnot. Spoiled brat.' Even with these thoughts, Naruto had to admit that he was looking forward to seeing Sasuke's house. The car drove past a pair of opened gates that led to a large driveway. The midnight-moon sent night shadows creeping over the road. The moon, peaking through the trees that lined the driveway, set a sort of quite ambiance. Spotting lights up ahead, Naruto turned to Sasuke for conformation of their arrival. Sasuke had a softened expression, like that of someone content with a full day's work and finally returning home. The mansion came into full view now. It had only a few lights on but the moon helped outline the house. The huge, two story, double door, billion car garaged estate loomed above the red sports car. Sasuke noticed that Naruto's eyes grew to twice their normal size, drinking in the view. A small smile of satisfaction spread across Sasuke's lips. Finally pulling into the garage, Sasuke parked the car and proceeded to get out.

"Naruto…NARUTO! We're here. You can get out now." Sasuke threw Naruto a superior smirk.

"I….I know." 'I'm just worried about ruining something of yours. The floor itself probably costs more than my house.' Naruto got out of the car tentatively. He saw that Sasuke had already left and was entering the house.

"Come on, I'll show you where you can stay." Naruto followed obediently.

Lush white carpet covered the floors, expensive pictures hung on the walls, and many priceless looking pieces of furniture and sculptures filled every room. Naruto was impressed, to say the least. The two boys walked up one of the double stair cases that were the focal point of the main parlor.

"Dammnnn…this place is AMAZING!" Naruto wondered allowed. Sasuke smirked again. "Where is the rest of your family? Surely they wouldn't like it that their o-so-precious son was out til midnight." Sasuke didn't smirk now.

"my parents died when I was a kid. I live alone." Sasuke's quiet tone was laced with something…sadness?

"Sooo…do you have any siblings?" Naruto tried to lighten the now sullen and awkward mood.

"Yes. A brother."

" What's his name? How old is he? What does he look like? Does he live here with you?" Many questions began to fill Naruto's head. He had no idea as to why he was suddenly so interested in Sasuke's life.

"Itachi. 26. Like me but older. And he does live here but is never around." Sasuke almost seemed mad for some reason. Finally stopping in front of a door, one of many in the never ending hallway of emptiness, Sasuke opened the door.

"This will be your room for the night. You can borrow some of my pajamas if you want."

"Ok…sure. Where's your room?"

"The last room on the left. If you need anything, just come and ask." Sasuke turned and headed toward his room leaving Naruto alone in front of the open door. He finally went in and turned on the light to find an enormous guest room, the size of Naruto's entire apartment. Completely awed, Naruto proceeded to run around his room looking and touching everything. He then spotted the biggest bed he had ever seen. It was huge, made with pure white silky sheets, and had a wrought iron canopy. He then proceeded to jump on it with sheer child-like glee. Knowing he was acting like a fool, Naruto jumped off and decided to go get some PJs from Sasuke. He entered the hallway and went to knock on Sasuke's door.

"Come in!" A voice called from somewhere deep inside the room. Naruto opened the door slowly and peeked his head inside.

"Um….I just was wondering if I could borrow those pajamas you spoke of."

"Sure. Hold on just a sec." Naruto pinpointed Sasuke's location to the bathroom. The door was open and Naruto was fairly sure he was brushing his teeth. He also noted that Sasuke wasn't as quiet or sullen as before. Suddenly Naruto froze. Out from the bathroom came Sasuke in a pair of silky black pajama bottoms and no shirt, toothbrush still resting in his mouth. Naruto had to keep himself from looking at Sasuke's perfectly toned chest, pale creamy skin, and innocent (the first ever) face. Sasuke walked over to a mahogany dresser and pulled out a pair of equally silky, royal blue pajamas.

"Here, these should be your size. If they don't fit then you can come and get another. So…goodnight then." Sasuke handed a still flushed Naruto the clothes.

"Umm, yeah…goodnight. And…thanks…for helping me out back there." Naruto exited Sasuke's room and went to his. Trying on the pajamas, Naruto found that they fit quite nicely. He then jumped into the white bed of heaven and promptly fell asleep.

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

A light, cold, night breeze drifted through an open window in Naruto's room. He turned over, pulling the blankets closer for more warmth. Opening his eyes to darkness, Naruto noted the time was 2:29 am from the red numbers of the digital clock by the bed.

'Maybe I'll take my chance now to poke around the house. Who knows how fast Sasuke will kick me out in the morning.' Naruto got up and rolled back the covers. Peeking out his door, Naruto tip-toed down the hall and the stairs. 'The good thing about houses this expensive is that there aren't any squeaky boards to give away your position.' Naruto snickered to himself while he checked out room after room. He found out that there was a spacious living room filled with every modern electronic device known to man, a cellar that had every wine under the sun, and a lavish game room that would make any kid jealous. Coming to his final destination, Naruto stepped into the kitchen. The kitchen, though lavish as was everything else in the house, had a homey feeling like that of a mother's touch. He scanned the stainless steel frig, the mahogany cabinetry, the expensive dining set, and Sasuke sitting at the kitchen island. 'Wait!...Sasuke…kitchen…here?' Naruto nearly jumpedout of his skin at the unexpected intruder.

"I was wondering when you would notice me here. God…It took you, like, ages. What are you, blind?" Sasuke had a playful tint to his voice as he sat at the island, a cup of milk sitting before him.

"What…umm… I'm not blind! I just happened to be deep in thought and you were so quiet, that's all." Naruto stumbled in a scandalized voice.

"Come. Sit down." Sasuke pushed out a chair next to him with his foot. He seemed almost inviting. Naruto tentatively took the seat next to Sasuke. "What are you doing up so late?" It was an innocent question.

"Just couldn't sleep I guess. And I wanted to see more of your house." Naruto wasn't looking at Sasuke. He felt as if he were under scrutiny.

"Ya. I couldn't sleep either…do you want something to eat or drink?"

"Oh…um…ya. A sandwich would be fine. I haven't eaten in a while." Sasuke got up and went to the frig. After shuffling a bit, he came up with an arm load of sandwich supplies and placed them on the counter.

"hey…Sasuke? Um…I'm sorry if I brought up some unpleasant memories with my questions. I was just curious."

Sasuke turned to Naruto in surprise. 'He apologized?' "No, that's ok. You didn't know." Sasuke looked at Naruto. "Do you have any family?"

"No. Mine also died when I was young. I live in an apartment by myself. But it's cool. I don't remember my parents much, though. I don't have any siblings either. I sometimes wish I did just so I could have someone who could look out for me and I for them." Sasuke was surprised at how Naruto could smile so and always remain happy when he was all alone in the world. After finishing the sandwich, Naruto stood to go back to his room.

A hand reached out and caught Naruto's. "Wait…don't go…not yet."The deep voice almost pleaded. Naruto sat back down out of surprise, a hint of a blush spreading along his cheeks.

The two boys sat and talked about school, their past, and random likes and dislikes for a couple hours. Naruto enjoyed the openness that Sasuke exhibited when he was at home. They both, now, had their heads resting on the counter top, looking at each other.

"So, what got you started on street racing?" Naruto asked. One of many questions that the two had exchanged through the night.

"Hmm….I guess it would have to be when I was just a kid. Kakashi, my guardian of sorts, had taken me to the Desert Racing Championship, well more like kidnapped for a couple days while my parents were with Itachi on a trip. There we saw many people with all sorts of cars, but the one person I remember the most was a racer they called Yellow Flash; his car was yellow and when he pasted you all you saw was a flash going by."

CRASH

Sasuke turned in time to see a thoroughly ruffled up Naruto sitting on the floor after falling over in his stool. His cheeks were red from the sudden fall and he sat with his eyes closed, franticly rubbing his butt to numb the pain.

Sasuke couldn't keep from laughing heartily at the blonde. "You…you ok Naruto?" Sasuke was still laughing, tears in his eyes, but got off his stool and stretched out his hand to the fallen blonde.

"Umm...ouch…ya, I'm fine. My butt's sore, though. Glad to see that you get enjoyment out of my pain."

'We'd better get to bed now. We've been up for….wow, a couple of hours already. It's 4:00am. Best we get at least some sleep."

"Ya, I guess I feel tired now."

Both boys headed back upstairs to their rooms. Naruto was the first to reach his door but then felt a sudden shiver race up his spin as a husky voice whispered in his ear.

"goodnight naruto."

The hand slipping past Naruto's back didn't go unnoticed either.
