Postsecret Chronicles
Disclaim: Not mine, except for plot. Please don't sue… I only have this here sock!
With Naruto
Beep! Beep! Beep! The sound of an alarm clock rang out. A sleepy hand reached out to turn it off.
3 days until whoever it is moves in… Naruto was still dreading the day… He liked having a room to himself! And aside from that, this kid could be a total bastard! He did not like the idea at all.
"Naruto?" Iruka walked into Naruto's room.
"Yeah?" Naruto lifted his head up from his pillow.
"You aren't too angry about having to share a room, right?"
"Just a touch."
"I'll make it up to you once they move out. Anything you like."
"Anything?"
Iruka sighed, not liking where this was going. "Except committing a felony. That I don't think I could do."
Naruto pouted. "Fine…"
With Sasuke
Sasuke was not happy. Today was the day they were moving. He decided to sleep in for a nice long time. And then he'd take a hot shower, taking his time. He did not want to leave.
"Sasuke? Are you awake?" Sakura burst into his room.
"Mrph…"
"Come on, we need to get you moved in!" Sakura exclaimed.
Well, I don't. "Mrphhh…"
"Sasuke, come on! I have entrance exams to take!"
What? "Huh?"
"I'm going to attempt to get into your school's boarding program. Get up, you lazy butt! It's not my fault if you miss your ride there."
"Right." Somehow, knowing that someone he cared about aside from his guardian would be there cheered him up. He was somewhat happy that she might be there. God knows she can keep fan girls away… She normally scares them off for me…
Getting out of the bed with a new appreciation for Sakura, he stalked towards his laptop. He was checking his email, when he remembered that he hadn't quite told Sakura about the reply to his postcard.
"Sakura, wait!"
"Huh? What is it Sasuke?" Sakura spun around relatively quickly, knocking a lamp over.
"What was that crash?" Kakashi walked into the room, a little worried. Upon seeing glass on the floor, he… laughed? "Clean that up, would you? I want to get there as soon as possible!" I'm moving in with 'Ruka today! Yay! Giggling at his nickname for Iruka, he danced out of the room, with the all the grace of a monkey on crack.
"…" Sasuke couldn't quite find words to describe what he just saw. That was…What exactly was that? I'm scared…
"That was… awkward?" Sakura had some confusion in her voice as well. I'm letting Sasuke live with this weirdo?
"Get in the car, guys!" Kakashi's voice sounded from inside the car.
Sighing, Sasuke walked towards the car. Evidently, fate doesn't want me to tell Sakura about the reply…
With Naruto
"Are they coming today?" Naruto whined a little.
"Yes. Get back to cleaning," Iruka said, making his point by yelling over the vroom of the vacuum cleaner.
"Why do we have to clean or them? They're intruding on out life!"
"It's the nice thing to do, Naruto!"
Naruto got back to dusting. Today, Iruka seemed to be very strict. He wouldn't be surprised in the least if Iruka made him wear a suit to welcome these new guests to their home. Frowning, he continued his trek across the mantle. Let's just hope that this guy isn't a total bastard. He thought. What a surprise he was in for.
With Sasuke
"Sakura, I don't want to listen to classical music!" Sasuke exclaimed. He had somehow developed a hatred for Mozart that ran so deep, it made you wonder if he hated his brother less.
"I have to listen! It helps me focus!" She wasn't giving up on her plan to listen to Mozart that easily.
"Why don't we listen to rock for half the ride, and Mozart the second?" Kakashi attempted to make a compromise. I'll be damned if I show up to 'Ruka's house with a headache because of these two!
"Fine…" Sakura said, disappointed.
"But I don't like classical!" Sasuke apparently wasn't willing to give up his Atreyu either.
"Sasuke, I'll put on rock first. We'll listen to yours, and then hers."
"But-!"
"Do you want this car driven into a ditch?" Kakashi would actually do it. Sasuke knew better.
"Fine… Put on 'The Curse'." He smirked, knowing it was Sakura's least favorite album.
Kakashi sighed; the music would kill him sooner or later. Why did Sasuke have to like metal? He supposed it was his karma coming back at him.
With Naruto
"Hinata? What are you doing here?" Naruto was surprised to see Hinata at his door-step.
"I'm here to help with any chores…" she said in her usual quiet voice.
"Take this!" He shoved the duster into Hinata's hands. "Could you also help with the kitchen?"
"S-sure," Hinata was a little over-whelmed.
"Ok, the fridge needs to be cleaned. Iruka's going insane about the fridge being spotless. Surely, he won't get angry with you if he finds a speck of dust, right?"
"A-alright…" Hinata continued to blush.
"Good! I'll get to work on my room. Oh! Can I have the scrapings from the side of the fridge?"
Hinata, not one to question Naruto's strange demands, simply nodded her head.
With Sasuke
"Ok, we're here," Kakashi said, while pulling into the driveway of a semi-normal home. Given, there were some strange noises coming from inside of the house, but Kakashi wasn't one to question.
"For the millionth time, Naruto, don't steal the fridge scrapings! I'll be damned if you're going to prank them!"
"Just try me!"
"P-please don't fight!"
Kakashi frowned.
"Ah, that must be Hinata," Sakura said, a hint of happiness in her voice.
After getting out 3 small suitcases, Kakashi stood at the front door. He thought about just barging in, to see Iruka covered in sweat, his clothes sticking to him… No! He would knock. That way, no refrigerator scrapings would fall on him! Take that, refrigerator. Take that. Without a second thought about it, he knocked twice.
Iruka ran to the door, about ready to kill any salesmen that may be coming at this time. He was not in the mood. Not at all.
"What do you want?" Iruka opened the door, not even checking to see who in the world it was.
Kakashi blinked. He just got there, and already he was being yelled at? Maybe being with a total stranger wasn't the best idea he'd ever had. "Umm… Sorry if we're early?"
Iruka, seeing who it was, went into panic mode. "Ah! Kakashi, I'm so sorry! You see, there's this one solicitor that is always here, and he…" Iruka trailed off, the awkward-ness of the moment getting to him.
"Well, if it's not too much trouble, could you let me in?"
"Ah! Of course!" Iruka said, still blushing. "Naruto! Get over here!"
Sasuke's eyes widened at the name. So did Sakura's. Wasn't that the kid that wrote in the reply to Sasuke's letter?
"But I don't wanna." Sasuke picked on the voice. It was indeed Naruto!
"Naruto…" Iruka was using his warning voice.
"Just hold on a second! Hinata needs my help with something!"
"Oh! Okay, then!"
Sasuke was upset that he couldn't see Naruto at this moment. Oh well, I waited 10 years. I can wait a few more minutes.
A few minutes later
Only a few minutes… only a few minutes…Sasuke was repeating the mantra to himself, almost holy in his mind.
"Iruka! Hinata got something on her shirt! I'm going to walk her home!"
"Fine! Be safe!"
"I will!"
Sasuke perked up his ears at this. That would mean Naruto would have to use the front door, right? Come on… Front door… Front door…A new mantra started.
Unfortunately, God appeared to like mocking Sasuke, as he heard a slam of a door that was definitely not the front door.
He'll be back soon… Soon… soon…Sasuke started a new mantra, his foot beginning to twitch a little.
"It appears Sasuke's getting a little nervous," Kakashi commented to Iruka, when being asked what would be good for dinner.
"Ah! Do you want to see your room?"
"Sure." If Sasuke couldn't see Naruto, his room would suffice for the moment.
There was nothing too special about Naruto's room. There were two beds, a desk, and a computer. However, his calendar was, if anything, a bit trashy. Nonetheless, it was Naruto's! Sasuke was in heaven simply because of this fact.
Sakura stood in the doorway. "Ah, so this is the room Sasuke's going to be staying in?"
"Yes, this is Naruto's room."
"Hey, Iruka, will Hinata be coming back?"
"Probably, though, why do you ask?" Iruka seemed a little lost.
"I'm staying at her home tonight."
"I see… Are you two friends?"
"Pen-pals."
"Ah, yes. She and Naruto should be getting back soon." As if reading his mind, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Iruka, is it alright if I eat with Hinata tonight?"
"For the most part, I think… I'll be there to drop Sakura off."
"Who?"
"Sakura. Hinata's pen-pal."
"Ah, Ok."
"Good, I'll be there soon," Iruka said as he hung up the phone. "Sakura! Come on, I'm dropping you off at Hinata's."
"Alright, I'll be there in a minute!" She turned to Sasuke. "You'll be fine, right?"
"I'll be fine. Go." Sasuke nearly commanded her, but Sakura decided it was because of the long car ride that made him like this.
"I'll be back tomorrow to help you move in! See ya!" Sakura walked out of the room.
"Bye." Sasuke decided a nap would be quite nice. In a room that was Naruto's, he decided it was for the better. He could nap while waiting for Naruto. Sighing, he lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
Later that night
Naruto sighed, walking into his room. Seeing a lump on his bed, his first thought was one of pure charity. What the hell is someone else doing on my bed?
But, since he wasn't in the mood for a fight, he lay down in the spare. This is far from over.
Those words resonating in his head, he fell asleep.
End Chapter
Whoo hoo! A long(er) chapter! 6 ½ pages! Hooray!
A story about my reviews:
Ok, on Saturday I was talking to my friend in Nebraska, and she told me to send her an invite to g-mail. So, I opened up my mail.
