Chapter 6 Memories and A Special Guest

Naruto was asleep at his own home after the explanation at Tsunade's Office. He had his eyes closed with a calm face as the small catch of wind blew in his face. A blanket covered his body up to his neck showing that he was tucked in by someone. A raven haired teen was watching outside of his bedroom in his usual clothes as they were a dark blue t-shirt and white khaki pants with a sliver/ white colored sleeve warmers. He sighed and walked to the living room where a small white pillow was placed on the couch along with a dark blue blanket which was not used yet. He sat down on the couch covering his face as he remembered what happened afterwards.

-Before-

"That is what I wish for…."

"You're such a freaking idiot! Why do you want to die?! You have many people who care about you!"

Sasuke shouted at the blonde that surprised everyone who was there. Naruto stared at him with cold eyes and asked.

"Who are those people who care about me?"

Sakura gasped in shock and Tsunade as well. Sasuke gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as small amounts of anger boiled inside of him. He walked forward then grabbing the younger boy's t-shirt as he growled.

"Naruto, you have me and Sakura along with Kakashi. You know team 7 where you tried to get me. Then you have the younger generation like Konohamaru and his buddies. Then all the rest of the gang likes the Rookie 9. Then you have the older generation like Tsunade and Jiriya."

"You care? Hmph, you must be joking that people care about me…. Good job on making me laugh! That's right no one cared about me since I was born so how can you know or understand how I feel?"

Naruto chuckled at Sasuke holding his stomach as he made laughing sounds without any expression on his face. Everyone looked at him as they were confused on what's going on. Naruto stood up and just stared looking at Tsunade. Tsunade looked at him back sighing with a surprised look showing on her face. Naruto looked towards Sakura who also had the same expression along with his other fellow teammate. Sasuke grabbed Naruto's arm pulling him forward when he hits Naruto's neck causing him to fall unconscious. Naruto collapsed on to Sasuke's arms with his body limp. Sasuke picked Naruto up and placing him on the couch. Tsunade waited till Sasuke looked back at her when he did so she spoke up.

"Well looks like the gaki is asleep now isn't he?"

"So Hokage-sama what should we do with Naruto?" Sasuke asked rubbing the back of his head casually.

"Well what do you want to do Sasuke?" Tsunade asked with a serious face still staring at the raven.

Sasuke tried to make something come out of his mouth but nothing ever came out. He turned away slightly when Tsunade looked Naruto over and then added.

"If you have no choices I'll make him stay with me or he can stay at your place…. Maybe he can stay at home and you live with him."

Sasuke made a fist and held himself back when he finally decided on what to do.

"Hokage-sama I think the last choice is suitable or if you like he can live with me starting tomorrow but I'll sleep at his place for tonight so that I'll make sure he eats…."

"Okay then goes home and Sakura check up on them just in case…"

Sakura nodded following Sasuke who carried Naruto bridal style. Sakura cheerfully opened the door assisting Sasuke. They left the building heading to Naruto's apartment and they arrived opening the door. Sasuke laid Naruto in his bed and Sakura pulled the sheets over the pale blonde's body, all the way up to the neck. Both teammates walked to Naruto's living room which it had only a brown worn out couch and a small TV with a small table set. Sakura sat on the couch as Sasuke stayed standing up while his mind was elsewhere. They both had their mind set on different things staying in the same place for 5 minutes when Sasuke spoke up.

"So Sakura when is your birthday?"

"Sasuke why are you----"

"Sakura just answer… When is your birthday?"

Sakura smiled and replied.

"My birthday is two weeks from now…"

"Okay thank you…."

They stayed there and just stared at the ceiling when Sakura stood up leaving.

"See you tomorrow Sasuke…"

"Same to you…"

The door slammed shut and Sasuke fell to his knees with his face in his hands. He couldn't take it anymore seeing Naruto have a painful expression on his face. Then he grabbed a few blankets and other items for him to sleep in when he whispered.

"Naruto, please come back to your old self."

-Present-

Sasuke lay down on the couch when he fell asleep. His mind was elsewhere looking out the window. He closed his eyes soon falling to sleep on the couch.

-Next Day-

Naruto woke up soon seeing the morning light in his room; he didn't smile or show any expression getting up from his bed. The light from the sun was bright that he covered his eyes exiting the room. He saw Sasuke in the kitchen making some breakfast; going to the bathroom he closed the door. Sasuke looked behind him to see the bathroom door closed turning his head back Naruto came out of the bathroom and scratched the back of his head making a yawning sound. Sasuke sets the plates down on the table calling Naruto over.

"Hey Naruto time for breakfast…"

Naruto looked at him and turned away opening the door of his room and enters shutting the door. Sasuke grasped the door handle before it was shut closed walking right in. His eyes couldn't believe what he saw which was a clean room with no dust and everything was neatly arranged. 'I never knew the dobe was tidy…' Sasuke thought when he remembered before that Naruto always had a messy house. Naruto sat there looking out the window of the apartment still with a blank expression shown on his face. Sasuke saw that the room had an empty feeling when he saw only two pictures on the table set. The two pictures were a picture of him and Naruto where the other one was with Naruto and Iruka. He remembered the picture with Naruto and Iruka since he was the one who took it.

-Flashback-

Naruto was running around the village doing his usual activities since they had no missions to do. Sasuke was there sipping some tea when someone bumped into him. He accidentally spits out the tea messing up his clothes.

"Why you----"He saw Naruto who was apologizing.

"Ah, gomenasai…." Naruto said bowing up and down when the two looked at each other awkwardly.

"Geh!" Both of them exclaimed.

Naruto backed away when he bumped into another person. He soon apologized when he saw that it was Iruka right behind. He latched on Iruka with a happy look on his face, Iruka smiled too. Iruka saw Sasuke soon calling him over handing him a camera.

"Sasuke would you mind taking a picture of me and Naruto?"

"Okay sure…" Sasuke answered as Naruto was in position and Iruka was at his side giving a large smile.

'Click' the camera went and Sasuke handed back the camera giving a snort. He soon cleaned himself off from the tea and walked home.

-Present-

Sasuke looked at Naruto who was still looking at the outside. Sasuke walked over and sat down right besides Naruto putting his hand over Naruto's shoulder. Naruto felt the movement turning his head to Sasuke pushing the hand away. Sasuke grabbed Naruto and dragged him to eat at the dining table.

"Dobe, time to eat…" Sasuke informed to see Naruto just stare at the food.

Sasuke took a spoonful and shoved it down on Naruto's mouth.

"Now chew and swallow…" Sasuke ordered closing Naruto's mouth.

Naruto did as he was told but soon got off of his seat and ran to the bathroom puking it out on the sink. Sasuke ran to his side grabbing a towel handing it to Naruto who took it wiping his mouth. Naruto sat there as memories flushed his mind.

-Memories-

(A/N: These are memories of Naruto and Iruka-this is a day after Iruka was assigned the mission)

"Iruka sensei!" A young blonde called out waving his arms.

"Oh, Naruto would you like some ramen?" Iruka called out.

Naruto nodded with a large smile shown on his face. Iruka also smiled and led Naruto to the ramen shop. Naruto ordered his usual 15 amount of bowls of ramen where Iruka paid it all. The ramen guy smiled brightly when he stared at Iruka when he spoke up.

"Hey Iruka what kind of mission are you doing?"

"Oh, just some boring Chunnin mission of bringing someone back home…" Iruka lied.

The ramen guy turned around and said take care where Iruka took Naruto home. Naruto complained and said that he was a jounnin so he doesn't need any help going home. Iruka laughed and let's go of Naruto's hand walking away. Naruto then ran home with a large smile on his face.

"Good bye Naruto…" Iruka whispered as he went home and left Konoha to do his mission.

-Present-

Naruto got up from the side of the bathroom going outside when he saw Sakura and Sasuke outside waiting for him. Naruto just stared and walked right past them, Sasuke grabbed his arm. Naruto looked at him and pulled his arm away when the door bell rang. Sakura opened the door revealing Kakashi who did his usual greeting. They all left Naruto's home going to the Hokage's place. Naruto was right behind them walking in his dark clothes regardless of the immense heat. Even though it was not summer it was still pretty hot. Sasuke and Sakura stood besides each other in silence still walking the whole way. Sakura wore a short red sleeve with a small green skirt on the bottom as red combat boots covered her leg. Sasuke just wore a short sleeve dark blue t-shirt and some white khaki pants that were too baggy for him. They wore their headbands at the top of their head while Naruto wore his on his neck. He wore a black t-shirt which had no sleeves and some black pants that were down to his feet with some black boots as well. His hair was up with his bangs covering his face and without the gel his hair reached up to his shoulder.

"Hey team what do you think we will talk about?" Kakashi asked noticing the silence within his students.

"I don't know Kakashi-sensei what do you want to talk about?" Sakura asked soon besides Kakashi who was still reading his book. (A/N: My Golly Gosh Darn Damn how long has he read that thing!?)

"Che, I don't care what you talk about…." Sasuke answered being on the other side of Kakashi.

"Well Naruto what do you think?" Kakashi looked behind him to see his student hearing to a music player ignoring his teacher's question.

"Naruto, are you there?" Kakashi took off one of the ear plugs from Naruto dropping it.

Naruto looked up and then stared forward with a blank stare as always. Sasuke soon told his teacher that they are nearing the Hokage's Office. Kakashi stopped walking and told them that he would explain why he they are going to the Hokage's place.

"Well you guys there seems to be a special guest there…" Kakashi explained putting the book away.

"I wonder who it is." Sakura pointed to her forehead with a confused look.

Sasuke and Naruto leaned against the wall not minding what they were talking about. Naruto then felt a familiar presence nearby when he stood up and started running towards the presence. The rest of Team 7 soon followed him when they landed in the Hokage's Office. The lady in the desk greeted them and told them that Tsunade was waiting for them upstairs. Naruto moved up quickly trying not to bump into anyone like the ANBU who stood guard. He soon slammed the door open and saw another figure and Tsunade speaking. Naruto walked forward when his eyes went wide open.

"Naruto…." The figure said stretching his arms out when Naruto fell backwards.
