Chapter 7-
"So who is this woman and how does she know me?" Mizani asked walking into the living room from the kitchen, drinks in her hand for Gaara and herself and sitting on the love seat beside Gaara, handing him his drink.
"Hhhmm… How do I explain this simply…?" he muttered to himself, but Naruto being Naruto doesn't know how to not be loud and Mizani overheard him.
"Are you saying I'm dumb?" the raven girl asked rising an eyebrow.
"No, no, no, no! It's just kinda hard to explain, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to explain it."
"Just spit it out." She said taking a swing of her soda.
"Okey so, Tsunade married Jiraiya who taught my real dad who taught Kakashi. And Iruka knew Tsunade from some school principle related thing…" he said, "They have lunch, breakfast, dinner, whenever all of them have off and get together to talk. Mainly they talk about me, but since you've started living with us, they must have branched out to you."
Sasuke blinked, 'And I thought my family was bad…' he thought.
Mizani nodded her head slowly, "Uh huh…."
"Told you it was complicated." Naruto said shrugging and falling back on the couch beside Sasuke who had begun to hum 'Complicated' by Avril Lavigne. He gave him a grin to which the raven returned with a small smile.
"So what songs are we doing?" Gaara asked his fellow band mate.
"Don't you need the rest of your band to make that decision?" Mizani asked Gaara.
He shook his head, "They don't care, as long as they know how to play the song, they're game for anything we do."
The raven seemed to think about it.
"Well as I mentioned, we've done good with Black Cat and Everything I Asked For." Gaara stated.
"Personally, I'd like to do something All Time Low. Like Vegas and Shameless." Sasuke said he snapped his fingers, "What about Into Your Arms."
"That works." The red head said nodding, "Anything else?"
"I don't think so." He shook head.
"I can't wait to see you all perform." Mizani said leaning against Gaara.
"Speaking of performing, we've got to figure out what song we're going to sing." The red head commented.
"You're singing?" Naruto questioned.
"Oh, um yeah." Mizani said nodding, she then turned to Gaara, "What duet songs do you all know?"
"Hhmm.. you can make just about any song a duet, so just about anything you want."
"Ooohhh! Can we do Hero/Heroine??" she asked.
Gaara looked at Sasuke, "Well?"
The raven nodded, "Sounds good to me."
"Wait. What do I wear??" she asked, as if it were a life or death questioned.
"Why don't we go shopping for something?" her boyfriend suggested.
She gasped, "Really??"
"Really." He said chuckling.
"Welp, have fun you guys! We'll be at the mall. Tell Kaka and Iruka we'll be home before 10!" she called grabbing Gaara's hand and dragging him out the door.
A moment of silence passed before Naruto spoke, "Is it just me or was that-"
"Extremely weird?" Sasuke finished for him.
The blonde nodded, "Mizani hates shopping."
"So does Gaara. In fact he hates going to places with lots of people in general…" 'I think they're planning something…'
"Well, what do you wanna do?" Naruto asked, turning to him.
'I could think of a couple of things…' the raven thought discretely looking him up and down, "We could go grab something to eat." He suggested.
"Sounds good." Naruto nodded, "So where you wanna go?"
"I'm horrible at making decisions. You pick." Sasuke said.
Naruto grinned and stood up, "Then I know just the place!" he said grabbing the raven's hand and leaning him to his car, "Let's go, I'll give you directions."
Sasuke gave him a warily look, but nonetheless got into the driver's seat, "Alright."
"Should've known." Sasuke said staring at the ramen shop they had parked in front of and shaking his head. "You just had ramen for lunch." He told the blonde as they sat at a table.
"You say that like you can't have ramen more than once a day." Naruto said.
"Lord Naruto, I've got to deal with you today." A voice grumbled.
"Oh you know you love me old man!" Naruto grinned to the man who looked to be about in his late 50s, early 60s. He wore a white chef's suit and hat with Ichiraku's printed across the top of it in red.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me old man?" he asked.
"But it's funny to see you get mad."
Teuchi shook his head and muttered, "I swear... you're as annoying as your father."
Naruto gave him a small smile.
"So what can I do you boys for?" he asked.
"I'll have my usual, and Sasuke wants… " his voice trailed off.
"Shōyu ramen." The raven said, putting his menu down.
"Alright one miso ramen and one shōyu ramen; I'll have Ayame bring out to you when it's done." Theold man said taking the menu's and walking to the back.
An awkward like silence passed the two boys.
"Soo… your brother seems…" 'Crap. Why'd I bring that up? He's-'
"Crazy?" Sasuke supplied for him.
"You know since you put it out there, yes. Very much so. I seriously wonder if him and Kakashi are related somehow…"
"There's no telling. And you haven't seen him around Deidara. "
"That's a scary thought." Naruto stated.
Teuchi came back to order their drinks, apologizing for forgetting and blaming Naruto who loudly protested. Once again silence passed them.
"Could I ask you a question?" Sasuke asked.
"Shoot."
"Where's your dad? You know your real one…?"
'Somehow I knew this question was coming…' Naruto sighed.
"You don't have to tell me, I was just-"
"No, it's cool." Taking a deep breath, Naruto started the tale. "He was a on an undercover FBI assignment. There was a leak in the system somewhere and the whole thing was a trap. My dad got everyone out safely, but him being as determined as he was, went back in where he tried to find any information he could about the person who hurt his team.
"Turns out, that's what the person wanted. He knew that my dad wouldn't just let them go so he planned everything to where they would face off. No one knows what really happened, but the just of it is my dad died in Jiraiya arms, right before the ambulance could come."
"I'm sorry." Sasuke said a sad look on his face.
They were quiet as their food and drinks were brought, only speaking to the tell Ayame thank you.
"How'd you end up with Kakashi?" Sasuke asked beginning to slurp his ramen.
"My dad said that he wanted Jiraiya to watch over me. He's kinda like my god-father so it was only natural for him to watch over me. He did until I was five. That was when Kakashi adopted me. He said that he wanted to keep my father's spirit alive. Not long after that he started dating Iruka. They had know each other since they were kids and eventually they were official."
Sasuke nodded at this and continued to each his ramen.
"So what about you? It seems like you live with your brother." Naruto commented after a few minutes. '
"I do." He nodded once again, "My parents were murdered when I was ten. My father was a wealthy business man with many enemies because he hardly ever played fair. I had to stay at school late for a project that was due the next day, I had been putting it off. Rushing home, I found everything to be extremely quiet; which was really odd because my mother always had music playing softly.
He took a deep breath, "What I saw next will scar me for the rest of my life. I walked into my dad's office and saw him and my mom on the floor covered in blood. I don't know how long a stood there. My brother came in there at one point, he was off helping our cousin move in to his new apartment, and took me there.
"For years Itachi tried to find out who the culprit was, but still to this day we don't know who did it. We have our guesses… but they won't get us anywhere." He stated sadly eating his ramen.
'Whoa... who would have thought that we would have so much in common?' Naruto wondered with a small smile.
"What?" Sasuke asked noticing his smile.
"Oh nothing! I was just thinking about how awesome this ramen is!" the blonde covered up eating his ramen enthusiastically.
The raven shook his head and they both finished eating.
"Well how was it boys?" Teuchi asked coming to take their bowls away.
"Delicious as always!" Naruto grinned.
"It was very delicious." Sasuke agreed.
"Why thank you boys." He said smiling, "Hope you come back soon."
"You know it!" the blonde called after the man as he took out his wallet. Sasuke began to do the same, but Naruto stopped him, "Don't worry about it. I've gotcha." He said waving him off.
"You sure?" the raven asked putting his wallet back up.
"Positive." Naruto grinned. 'I haven't grinned this much in a while… you know besides with Mizani or my dads…' "So what now?" he asked once the food was paid for and they were outside.
"I don't know." Sasuke shrugged as they got into the car.
The two drove around aimlessly for a few minutes before Naruto recognized where they were. "Turn up here." He directed, ignoring Sasuke's questioning look. "Now left." He waited for the place he knew very well to come into sight, a small smile planted on his lips. 'It's been a while…' he thought.
"Man. I haven't been to this park… well a park in general in forever…" Sasuke said.
"You use to come to this park?" Naruto asked.
The raven nodded, "Yeah, my brother would take me here. If my dad was off, then we'd all come have lunch on the picnic tables."
Naruto stared at him in shock, "We use to do the same thing!"
"No…"
"I kid you not." Naruto said getting out of the car and running into the park. He ran straight to the swings lunch himself at them and landing on his stomach, it let out an "Umph." Before making airplane noises. 'How I miss the park.' He thought happily grinning as the wind blew in his hair.
Sasuke walked over to where he was and sat on the swing beside him and calmly began to swing.
"Come on Sasuke join me!" Naruto called.
"I don't think so." The raven said.
"Why not??" he asked, "We have the whole park to ourselves." He gestured to the deserted park around them. Sasuke still shook his head. "Oh IIII get it." Naruto nodded.
"Get what?" the raven asked rising an eyebrow.
"You know that I'll beat you in an airplane battle." The blonde said smugly.
"What?" the guitarist asked confused.
"Airplane battle, you know I'll beat you so you want to save yourself the defeat."
"I doubt that you could beat me in anything." Sasuke sad smugly.
"Then join me in The Great Airplane Battle!" he shouted knowing he had the raven.
"Fine." Sasuke stood from the swing and turned to lie on his stomach, "What now?" he asked.
"Now THIS!" Naruto then kicked off with his feet, made his hands into guns and made 'pew pew pew' noises. "I'm killing you Sasuke!" he called. He watched out of the corner of his eye as Sasuke shook his head, gave a small smile then proceed to do the same thing.
'He really joined me…' Naruto thought happily and in slight disbelief, 'Maybe this could turn into something…'
