The next couple of weeks went by in a blur full of bonding, school drama and studying, Konoha high was a little harder than my old school. My feeling toward Naruto were getting stronger every week and with that came more inner turmoil. Why did I have these feelings towards Naruto? Did he feel the same way about me? During 8th hour yester day Naruto asked me if I wanted to come over to his house since it would be the weekend. I said sure and would be over at noon.

I woke up on Saturday eager to get moving and over to Naruto's. I decided o bring history books to make my uncle think I was going to study. I got to our small kitchen and started making a big breakfast for him to keep him in a good mood. He had a date last night so he should be in a pretty good mood already, cause I heard them going at it last night. I had to turn my cd player on loud just to drown out their noise.

My uncle walked in "Damn Kitch-Bitch smells good." he calls me that now since I have to cook when he tells me to…

"Im going over to a friends house to study and hangout a little." I said with my back to him, keeping my eyes on the skillet cooking the eggs.

" whatever, that's better some of the guys are coming over to watch the game, so now you'll be out of our fucking way." uncle said.

Glad that I wont be here for the drinking and smoking and fights bound to happen during the football game. I finished the food for him and his guest, and I made myself some toast and a glass of water. I headed out to Naruto's at 11:30. He said I would "Know" when I saw his house, at the thought of that I laughed and kept a look out for "The One".

After finding the street I looked at the house and sure enough I knew exactly which was his house. The Iron Gates said Uzumaki on the top of them which a paved road wound up to the humongous Victorian house.

I rang the doorbell by the gates and a female voice cracked on the speaker and said "Uzumaki residents. May I ask who's speaking?"

I put my face close to the receiver and said "umm..Im Sasuke Uchiha..Naruto invited me over."

"Of course come on up." said the voice and the gates opened up. I walked up the drive to the doors and knocked. A small plump woman answered the door, it was the woman from the intercom.

"Hi" I said

"Hello, come in, come in." she said hurrying me inside the house. "Master Naruto is up stairs, third door on your right."

"Thank you ma'am." I said. This house was huge, I walked the marble stairs that were directly in front of the front doors. I found the door to the right, I knocked lightly..nothing…I knocked again… "Naruto?" I called. I opened the door and realized it was his bedroom…there was two floor to ceiling windows on either side of the wall to the left and a balcony in the center. To the wall parallel to it was a giant bed and a sleeping form in it.

Oh my god! I thought This is his bedroom I crept in and walked quietly to his bed. Naruto was laying diagonal in his bed with the covers kicked to the side. He looked so beautiful, he slept peacefully, he was only wearing boxers his chest was bare. I had to wake my self up from my stupor, I walked over and pulled the curtains to his big windows back and opened the doors to the balcony, a nice breeze came in and blew into the room. "Naruto, time to get up." I cooed to him. "It's past noon."

"Awww…Berta…just five more minutes." he begged "Just wake me up when Sasuke gets here."

I laughed and said "Im already here dobe."

Naruto shot up and said under his breath "Kuso!" "how long ya been here?"

"Just got here." I lied

Naruto got up and stretched and caught me eyeing him, but didn't say anything. He walked over to the back wall where his dresser was and he grabbed a pair of jeans and slipped them on. He stretched again and walked over to the balcony. "Wow it's a nice day today." Naruto exclaimed, he looked over at me and asked "Ya hungry? Im starving!"

"Nah, Im ok I had something for breakfast." I said. Right after saying that my stomach growled really loudly. We both paused for a second and then laughed "Well I guess I could eat a little."

* * * * *

We walked down stairs to a huge kitchen. I stood in Awe at the size of it. Everything was sleek and shiny. Naruto came in and plopped himself in a chair by the bar in the center of the kitchen. "Berta" He called out.

The small woman from before came and said "yes sir?"

"Would you make us some eggs and bacon please." Naruto asked. I had a quick idea.

"Wait if its ok I'll make us the food." I asked the maid quickly. She glance toward Naruto waiting for his answer.

"Ok..Sounds fun!" he responded "I guess we got it berta." I smiled at this " Wait berta!" "Could you tell us where all the stuff is?" I looked at Naruto and he gave a sheepish grin. We spent the next hour cooking the food, Naruto ended up burning his egg. So I Offered half my egg to him, so we shared it. Afterwards Naruto wanted to go our in the backyard since it was so nice.

We walked out in the back where he had a beautiful garden and a man-made stream running by a big cherry blossom tree. He went and sat at the bed of the stream. I went and sat next to him. He looked very content about the scenery. " Naruto, this place is so beautiful! Who did all this?" I asked him.

He looked at me and said "My mom did."

His tone and the way he said did made me wonder. "Where is she?"

"She died 10 years ago…So did my dad." he said looking stone-faced.

I thought for a second and said "My parents died too…It was my birthday and we were coming back from a real late movie. A driver fell asleep at the wheel and hit our driver side. I was in the back passenger side, I was the only wearing my seatbelt. The car flipped several times and landed in a ditch..My father was dead on arrival. My mom and I were rushed to the critical are, but she died on the way…Im all that's left…" I said my eyes tearing up not knowing why I was so open to him…

I looked up at Naruto as tears streamed down my face. He leaned over and put a arm around me, then he started. " my parents were layers and damn good ones. They put some of Konoha biggest trimesters behind bars. So of course they had lots of enemies, one night we were all sitting down to watch a movie and our doorbell rings. My dad went to answer it and a man pulled a gun out and told him to get in the house. He tied us up and put me across from my parents. First he took out a knife and made my parents watch as he cut my face." he show's me his face and the 3 scars on each cheek shone in the afternoon light. He continued. " after he did that he poured gasoline on my parents and made them face me as he lit them on fired…. They didn't Scream…not even once…" He choked out the words. I looked up to see Naruto starting to cry, but he still continued. "The guy was about to finish me off, but the neighbors saw the man enter the house and called the cops and swat. Right as I thought I was about to die they shot him through a window…." I cried even harder, I turned toward Naruto and put my arms around his neck and told him how sorry I was for him. He wrapped his arm around my neck and just cried and cried. We sat their for what seemed like hours. We finally stopped crying and just sat there with each other in our arms. It was twilight, the fireflies started to emerge. Naruto moved back and looked at me with his big blue eyes, I looked at him with my almost black eyes, I was a little startled at the expression on his face, it was so soft and caring…f..for..me…

Naruto closed his eyes bent down and kissed me. I finally knew what all those feelings meant I didn't feel confused anymore I pushed a little more into the kiss, to make sure it wasn't a dream I pulled back for a second and looked at him with the same expression he did with me. He smiled and I kissed him more passionately.
