So... Chapter three. Just so you know, Ran is pronounced Ron.

Enjoy!

I DON'T OWN!

Naruto was showing Ran his collection of pressed leaves and flowers.

Yamanaka Ino had showed the girls how to do it two weeks ago, he had over heard them and decided to do it himself, so he found a thick book in the garbage and got some of his favorite flowers and leave and pressed them firmly in the book.

"I wish I could see them. You make them sound so beautiful." Ran said as he sat on the floor. Naruto, who was sitting on the bed, looked down at the redheaded boy.

"They are. So what do you do for fun?" Naruto asked the older boy.

"I played chess before-" Ran cut himself off. "I haven't really had free time in years." Ran told him.

Naruto looked at the Ran with a blank look. "So what have you been doing?" He asked him.

Ran looked at the bright orange flame, why was Naruto's energy a flame but every other persons is a condensed ball of energy?' Ran thought to himself.

"I was learning. I was taught several languages and different manners of persuasion as well as maths and anything else they wanted me to know, that I could do without sight." Ran told the blonde.

Naruto looked at Ran in wonder. "Will you teach me?" Naruto asked, the prospect of getting stronger to tempting for him.

Ran nodded. "I will." He told Naruto.

"Now?" Naruto asked as he got off the bed in excitement. Ran got up and sat on the bed. Ran taught Naruto all he knew.

Naruto was sitting in the back of the classroom. Ran sat next to the sleeping blonde.

"Naruto." Iruka-sensei said. Naruto startled awake. "I don't want to be eaten!" Naruto yelled. The other students looked at him funny.

"You don't want to be eaten?" Iruka asked. "My friend told me about a huge snake that could easily eat you in one bite." Naruto told him as he glared at the empty seat next to him.

This was the first day back at school for Naruto, since he met Ran.

"Stop glaring at the seat and pay attention." Iruka told Naruto before going back to his lesson. He made a mental note to see if Naruto has been hanging around Anko.

"Hi Kiba." Naruto said as he walked up to the other boy. It was lunch now, but Naruto didn't have food, so he was going to see if Kiba or any of them had any extra.

"Hey Naruto." Kiba said, Shikimaru and Choji nodded to him and Shino glanced up before going back to his food.

"Have any extra?" Naruto asked as he plopped into the seat next to Kiba.

Ran sat on the ground in front of the table Naruto was at.

"Sorry. Mom told me not to give you any more of my food. She said that I need it to grow, or something like that." Kiba told Naruto. Shino nodded and Choji just continued to eat. Naruto knew not to ask an Akimichi for food.

Shikimaru, though, pulled out a second box out of his bag. "I packed it for Choji, but he wouldn't mind if you ate it, would you Cho?" Shikimaru said.

Choji looked at the box, then at Naruto, then at the box again before nodding. "You are too tiny. You need food." Choji said before taking another bite of his food.

Naruto's features brightened greatly, unknown to him, his friends looked at him with pity.

They weren't sure, but by the way Naruto talked and the fact that he never brings food, they all agreed that he must either be neglected by his parents, or was an orphan. Either way, they decided to feed him. They would take turns bringing him lunch.

"I need to go." Naruto said suddenly. He got up and ran to the ally between the school buildings.

When he got there Ran was standing with his back against the wall. "Are you hungry?" Naruto asked him.

Ran hadn't eaten for a few day before he had come here, then added to that the battle at Hogwarts and getting to this dimension, Ran was starving.

Ran nodded without a sound. Naruto had taken it that morning, that way Ran couldn't talk and expose himself to the villagers by accident, seeing as his voice can still be heard by everyone when his body is gone.

Naruto and Ran sat and ate lunch together. Ran cleaned it up and ushered Naruto back to the class room before he was late.

Two years.

Ran had been with Naruto for two years. Naruto is a great student when he wants to be, Ran mused. Naruto had mastered everything Ran could teach him. He even learned chess.

"Ran. Can you help me with this?" Naruto asked in French. They would switch languages every week, that way they wouldn't be rusty in any language.

"What do you need?" Ran asked. "It is asking about chakra." Naruto said.

Ran had learned all he could about that, which wasn't much considering his sight problem, namely that he can't see.

The two were working on the problem when Naruto's stomach growled loudly.

"Want Ichiraku's?" Naruto asked as he stood. Ran nodded and followed him out of the room.

Ran had found that living with Naruto meant eating just as regularly as he did with the death eaters.

It wasn't that Naruto is negligent like the death eaters, but that Naruto is so poor, that even Naruto doesn't eat as much as he should. Ran makes sure that Naruto eats as much as he can before he eats, which means that he rarely eats. But that is fine with Ran, he is used to it.

They were just leaving the stand, Naruto had ten bowls Ran had two, when a small boy ran past them. Naruto decided to follow him. "Come on." Naruto urged Ran as he ran after the boy.

Ran followed without question, just like a true servant.

The boy ran right into the Uchiha compound. Naruto decided that he wanted to see what was going on. He followed the boy right to the main house.

Naruto slowed down and sneaked into the house. He saw the bodies littering the ground outside.

He watched as an older boy, that looked just like the kid they followed, walk up to the boy. Naruto walked closer.

Then the boy went limp. Naruto gasped, alerting the older boy to his presence. "Who are you?" The boy asked.

Naruto stepped closer slowly. "N-Naruto." He said. The older boy nodded before drawing his sword. He slashed down, aiming for Naruto's head. When his arm was caught.

"Who are you? To kill my master so easily?" Ran asked as he squeezed the arm.

The boy froze. "Itachi." He said in a bored tone of voice before shaking his arm loose and slashing at Ran, but his sword went right through him, not that Itachi knew, he couldn't even see the other.

"Who are you?" Itachi asked. "What are you?" He slashed in front of him again. The sword went right through Ran's chest.

"He's my servant." Naruto said. "Only I can see him." Itachi grunted. He stopped and looked at the fallen boy, the one that Naruto and Ran followed.

"May I ask of you a favor?" Itachi asked.

Naruto looked at him with wide eyes. But he nodded.

"Watch over my brother. Keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything rash. Please?" Itachi asked. Ran looked from Itachi to the boy. He nodded to Naruto. "I will if you want me to." Ran said in French.

Naruto smiled widely. "Okay. We will. What's his name?" Naruto asked as his smile dropped and a look of confusion took over.

"Sasuke." Itachi said before he disappeared.

Sasuke groaned as he awoke. The first thing he saw was a boy wearing the most ridicules orange clothes.

"Who are you?" He asked. He heard the boy mutter something before a smile took over his face. "I'm Naruto. I am going to watch over you." Naruto said.

"Why?" Sasuke asked. The boy looked confused for a second before grinning again.

"Because." He said before Sasuke fell into a dreamless sleep caused by both physical and emotional exhaustion.

The boy, Sasuke, woke up and looked right at Naruto.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"What is with all the 'who are you's today?" Naruto muttered to himself.

"I'm Naruto. I am going to watch over you." He told Sasuke.

"Why?" He asked. Naruto looked up and saw Ran shake his head slightly.

He turned back to Sasuke and grinned. "Because."

He watched as Sasuke fell asleep.

"Why aren't we telling him?" Naruto asked Ran.

"If we did, would he trust us?" Ran asked. "His brother did just kill his family." Ran said. Naruto thought a second before nodding.

"Okay. Let's get him to a hospital. I don't want him to be hurt." Naruto said as he got up. Ran picked up Sasuke and the three made their way to the hospital.

So? Meh... Leave me reviews please!
