Chapter 2- Do All Sisters Do That?

He seemed to be taking it better than what Nanami thought, although he wasn't his happy go-lucky self. He wasn't yelling yet either, which she took as a good sign. After she had dropped the bomb, she paid for their meal and then dragged a very stunned looking Naruto back to her car. It was quiet as she drove him back to his house. Finally, it became too much to take.

"Say something! Ask me questions, yell, something! I'm tired of the silent treatment."

He stared at her. At first his eyes showed confusion, but very quickly they became angry. Oh, boy here it comes.

"YOU! You knew the whole time! And you let me believe…you asked me about…Who do you think you are to just waltz into my life?"

"What happened to being pretty happy?" she mumbled. She knew that wasn't fair. She would probably be acting the same way, but this is sort of why she didn't want to say anything.

"Oh, yeah. I'm so happy to have a sister who has lied to me for fifteen years!" he snapped back. She was done listening to him whine at this point. She pulled up in his driveway, put the car in park, and turned to glare at him.

"Let me tell you something, brother. I didn't lie. Yes, I avoided the topic for the first twenty minutes I've met you, but it's not like I could just show up at your door and tell you I'm your long lost sister!"

"Really? Cuz you kind of did!" He shot back. He had her there. He jumped out of the car and slammed the door. Really, he didn't have to take out his frustration at her on Little Red.

She got out too and tried to keep herself from beating the kid as she ran after him. He was already up to the door though, and as she reached the porch he slammed the door in her face. She tried turning the knob, but found the door locked.

"Naruto! Naruto! Open up! Let me explain at least!" she hollered.

"Go away!" was the only reply she got back.

She yelled a couple of more times, and slammed her first against the door. She finally gave up, and slumped onto the porch. She saw this coming, she just was hoping for something better. After five more minutes of throwing a pity party for herself she got up ready to drive off. She didn't know where but anywhere was better than here. She heard the door creep open behind her. She turned around to see Naruto with his head down and his hands in his pockets.

"Hey" he started.

"Hey" She replied, happy just to get that much.

"Do ya…want to come in?" he asked timidly.

"Sure." Nanami said shrugging her shoulders.

She followed Naruto into the house. The first room she walked into was the living room and Naruto led the way straight over to the couch. He instantly flipped on the TV leaving her standing there feeling awkward. She found a chair to sit down in. She looked at the coffee table and saw papers laid out all over it. She picked up one, curious and started reading it. She quickly threw it back onto the table a deep blush creeping into her cheeks.

Naruto smirked. "Now you know why I call him the Pervy Sage."

"He reads that?" she asked incredulously.

She got a real grin out of him. "He writes it."

She gave him a disgusted look not believing that he actually lived with a guy like that. It seemed to do the trick, because Naruto was laughing at her face. She started laughing because he was laughing, but their laughter was short lived. Pretty soon it was back to the awkward silence with Psych reruns in the background.

"So" she started trying to think of anything to say.

"Did you know them? Our parents, I mean?" His big blue eyes were heavy with sadness, but still starving for information.

"Not really. They both died when I was only two years old. Right after you were born, actually."

"How?"

"Our dad was a cop who got killed on the job, and our mom died in childbirth." she explained sadly.

"Oh."

She was expecting a little bit more than that, but she was going to take what she could get.

"Is that all you wanted to know?" she asked, quietly.

He looked like he was going to say something when the front door crashed open.

"Naruto! What is that jeep doing in the driveway? I couldn't even pull up to the garage!" a loud voice started bellowing.

Nanami jumped up, not wanting to be a bother.

"I'm sorry, I'll go-"

"Quit yelling, Pervy Sage. Can't you see I have a guest?" Naruto interrupted.

Nanami got my first good look at the man as he turned around to stare at her. He had white spiky hair pulled into a ponytail that reached all the way down his back, a red shirt with black netting underneath, and dark green cargo pants with sandals. For an old guy he sure didn't dress like one.

"Oh, a lady friend I see. Naruto you sly dog." He grinned wildly. Nanami felt a deep blush understanding how this looked.

"It isn't like that you perv!" Naruto yelled his blush almost the exact shade as hers.

"Naruto. I told you to never call me that." He said sternly.

"Whatever." Naruto grumbled.

"Well, I should probably go." Nanami finally said.

"Where will you go?" Naruto asked sadly.

"Well now that I have a reason to stay in Konoha, I should probably rent an apartment and enroll in high school." She answered with a smile.

Naruto's face lit up. "Rent an apartment? You're only a kid." Jiraiya added.

"Yeah you should stay with us." Naruto declared.

Nanami could feel her face get hot. Partly because she was embarrassed about not being able to take care of herself, and partly because she was so delighted that Naruto wanted her to stay.

"Now hold on Naruto. She barely even knows us. We can't have complete strangers in our home." Jiraiya informed.

"Listen, Pervy Sage. My sister is staying her and that's it." Naruto insisted crossing his arms like a pouting child.

"Sister?" Jiraiya asked, surprised. Nanami sighed and then walked over to Jiraiya with her hand extended.

"Hi, I'm Nanami Uzumaki. Pleased to meet you."

"Well, I guess it's a good thing we bought a three bedroom house after all." Jiraiya commented, showing her the guest bedroom at the top of the stairs.

There wasn't much there. All it had was a bed, a dresser, and a desk. However, to Nanami it was perfect. It was more than she had for certain as she stared down at her only duffle bag.

"We can go shopping tomorrow to make it more girly or whatever." Jiraiya tried offer. It was obvious that he was uncomfortable with having a girl in his home after his however many years of bachelorhood.

"Whatever. I'm really just fine with this." She stated. "And thank you again for letting me stay."

Jiraiya smiled. "Let's just say it's the least I can do for Minato."

With that he left leaving Nanami stunned. So Jiraiya has been taking care of Naruto all these years because he knew their father. Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy after all.

It didn't take long for Nanami to unpack. She put her few sets of clothes on hangers and her delicates in the dresser. The last thing she pulled out was a very worn photo. Nanami stared at it smiling. It was the last and only picture of her entire family. Her mom lying in a hospital bed holding a sleeping baby with yellow hair. Her father with his hand wrapped around his wife staring at the bundle in her arms with wonder. Finally, a small red-headed girl grinning her cheesiest smile at the camera. She could hardly believe that she had finally found that same blonde baby.

"Hey, Nanami?" a voice asked from her doorway. She looked up surprised to see Naruto.

"What is it, Naruto?"

"Um, I just wanted to say sorry, about earlier. I really shouldn't have gotten angry with you. And I'm really glad to know that I have a sister."

She smiled. "Alright, enough with the mush. It looks like I'll be here for a little while so don't be going soft on me."

She went over and hugged him. Then she kissed him on the cheek. "Good night, Naruto."

"Yuck, do all sisters do weird stuff like that?" he yelled with indecency.

"I don't know I haven't been one long enough."

He flashed that grin and wandered over to his room across the hall. Nanami went back into her new room and flopped down on her new bed. For the first time in ages, she slept peacefully.

I know these first few chapters are slow going, but it gets better. Trust me. I forgot to mention in my first chapter that I don't own anything Naruto and Nanami is my own OC. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review! I don't care if you're the same person I love listening to what you think! :)
