Naruto walked into his apartment, taking off his shoes at the doorway as per usual, and sighed at the sight of Rihan sitting in his apartment livingroom. It had been a week since their first encounter, and Naruto was getting used to seeing the strange man lounging on his couch as if he belonged there. At least he wasn't eating his ramen anymore. No, now he was eating things that he had stolen from the various other houses and stores around here.
"I'm back."
"Welcome back, Naruto," The man said, not looking up from his dango.
Naruto pouted at Rihan, "Why are you still here, dattebayo? Can't you go bother the Uchiha or sumthin'?"
Rihan put the last of the treat in his mouth and looked over at Naruto, "Why would I do that?"
"I dunno. Why do ya' bother me so much?"
Rihan blinked at him, looking vaguely surprised, then tilted his head a bit to one side, "I suppose it's because you remind me of my son."
"You have a son?"
Rihan nodded, gaining a distant sort of look in his eyes, "I do…."
Naruto waited for Rihan to elaborate, but when the man didn't he decided that it must be something too personal and left it alone. Then he grinned, "Hey! Guess what happened today at the academy!"
"And what happened at the academy?" Rihan asked, indulging the little orphan boy that was practically bouncing with excitement in from of him.
"We were showed the academy katas! I'm gonna be the best at them, dattebayo!"
"Ho? Why don't you show me, then?"
Naruto nodded, " 'Kay!"
AN: Someone asked me if Rihan was going to stay with Naruto and raise him in Konoha or if the two of them are going to leave. The title of this story is 'To Be Spirited Away'. They're leaving. You haven't been spirited away if you haven't left.
