Chapter 6! :D

I've had school so I don't have enough time to finish the chapter on time. However, this is complete :D

Stupid school -3-

On with the show...

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

'Wow! Your house is so nice!' Ryuu wrote on his whiteboard.
"We haven't even been inside yet but thank you." I sweat dropped.
'This house is pretty big for one person. Do you share this house with someone else?'
"Yes I do. My friend Yume lives here with me along with my pet fox Kurama.
'YOU OWN A FOX?!' I nodded.
"He really likes being petted by young children." A massive smile grew on Ryuu's adorable face. I unlocked the door and walked forward. Ryuu ran in after me and stood there in shock. The smile became even bigger when he saw Kurama messing up the kitchen.
"Kurama! I told you to behave!" I scolded the orange fox. Kurama however, was more focused on Ryuu who looked, well, a bit dazed. Kurama walked slowly up to Ryuu and smelt him. Ryuu shivered as he was probably scared that Kurama would attack him. He looked like he was about to create waterfalls from his tear ducts. Kurama elegantly pounced onto his shoulders, it looked like Kurama was a scarf as he stretched out his body around Ryuu's neck.
"Looks like he likes you." I couldn't help but smile. I walked over to the sofa and turned on the DVD player. "Since you're only in Grade 3 you can't watch 12s or 15s. These are the PG films I have." I displayed the films out on the coffee table. There wasn't much to chose from, then again, I am 16. After about seven minutes of thinking time Ryuu pointed to a DVD. I picked up the DVD and placed it in the DVD player. The film Ryuu picked was The Iron Giant.

When the movie finished, I felt a small weight lean on my right side. Ryuu's soft plum coloured hair softened my right arm. His hot pink eyes were closed, he was in a deep sleep. Kurama had disappeared during the film so it was just us. Ryuu slowly hugged my arm like it was his favourite toy.
"His skin is so cold, like ice, yet his heart and soul is so warm, like a burning flame..." I thought as I smiled at his gentle actions. I stared at the clock, remembering how to tell the time. It was 10:25am, I had tons of time to kill.
"I should watch another film, but I should keep it PG, just in case he wakes up..." I thought aloud. I lowered Ryuu's body onto the sofa and changed DVDs.

I had watched three DVDs in a row, ate lunch and tidy the house and Ryuu still hadn't woken up. I knew he was still breathing as his small body was moving up and down, inhaling and exhaling. I looked at the clock for the fifth time, it was now 3:30pm. I had to take Ryuu back to the elementary school before/at 3:45pm. I put my shoes and my denim jacket on. Ryuu had already put his whiteboard in his backpack. All I had to do was find a way to carry Ryuu to the school. Then the idea came to me, piggyback. I put the backpack on his back and gently placed him on my back, his arms were wrapped loosely around my neck and his head was on my left shoulder, leaning against my head. I managed to open the door and close it without waking up Ryuu.

The streets are pretty quiet, all you can hear is the chirping of birds, the natural noise of motors from cars on the street. Every now and again there would be a dog barking or a cat jumping from tree to tree. Everything was peaceful - that is, until I heard two familiar voices coming from down the street...
"KONOHAMARU! GET YOUR BUTT HERE RIGHT NOW!" A frustrated voice yelled, it sounded awfully familiar.
"No way Naruto nii-chan! Come on Udon! Hurry up! You don't want Naruto-nii chan to catch you, do you?!" A 12 year old boy screeched. My guess is that Konohamaru is running away from Naruto for a stupid reason, and the boy called Udon is his friend.
"But Konohamaru, I don't wanna run!" Udon moaned. The figures finally came into sight. Naruto and Konohamaru were running while Udon was being dragged, not literally. A blob with atomic tangerine coloured hair was walking in the distance. Alongside it, was a much taller blob with dark lavender coloured hair. They came into hearing range...
"Hey, Hinata-san? Why are you partners with Naruto onii-chan?" The mini blob asked the larger blob aka Hinata, who was now blushing.
"Well...um...we didn't get to choose our partners Moegi-chan." Hinata was half right, we didn't get to choose our partners, but it doesn't explain why she's blushing so much, or why it took her so long to answer the small blob's aka Moegi's question.
"Is that so...are you glad you're Naruto onii-chan's partner?
"Well I-"
"Would you have chosen him if you got to choose your partners?"
"Um-"
"Do you like Naruto onii-chan?"
"You see-"
"Or do you like him more than a friend?"
"Too many questions!" Hinata 'sobbed'. By now, the three musketeers where 50cm away from me.
"Hey Nagare-chan!" Naruto grew a grin. "Fancy seeing you here!"
"This is a main road, it's kind of likely that you're going to see someone you know Naruto onii-chan." Udon said while catching his breath and panting.
"Who are you?!" Konohamaru pointed to me like I was a kid picking their nose.
"I'd like to ask you the same question." I couldn't help but smile. "I know your name's Konohamaru but what is your relationship with Naruto?" I asked as I jumped a little to let Ryuu lie more comfortably on my back.
"Hey, isn't that Ryuu from our school?" Moegi caught up with the others followed by Hinata.
"Yes he is. He's sleeping." I smiled softly.
"Oh Nagare-chan, how's your project?" Hinata bowed.
"It's been...interesting..." I tried to look at Ryuu but I only saw him in the corner of my eye. "And I would like to find out more about Ryuu and Susumu..."

BEEP BEEP BE-WHACK!

I sat perfectly still as my alarm fell on the floor. I couldn't help it, my alarm clock does my head in!
"TKIF Thank Kami It's Friday!" I smirked to myself as I started to get changed.

To my surprise, Yume was already awake, and cooking breakfast, and feeding Kurama.
"Just in time! I made pancakes!" Yume cheered as I slumped down the stairs.
"You're awfully happy today...what is it this time?" I said while taking my seat and eating a pancake. Yume sighed a deep sigh, like when Shikamaru gets told what to do by his mom. Yume dropped to her knees and started begging. She shuffled to my seat and put her head to the floor.
"PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEAAAASSE!" You could hear her plead from the other end of the street. I raised an eyebrow. "Please can Tenten, Temari and Hinata come here for a sleepover?!" She was asking me because I'm not a fan of sleepovers, plus I've never been to one in my whole life.
"Fine..." I scowled. I felt something tight wrapping around my body, like an elastic band, it was Yume hugging me. "Whatever, can we go now?"

We get to school early everyday so we have some time to chat with friends. The building wasn't completely empty, it was half full. I opened the door to our class room, only Kiba and Naruto were there. Kiba's chair was placed opposite Naruto.
"Hey Nagare-chan, Yume-chan!" Naruto grinned a grin that was not possible. Kiba smiled and waved, trying to ignore Naruto's enthusiasm. I grabbed a chair and joined the two jokers while Yume suddenly disappeared.
"She's probably gone to find Tenten, Temari and Hinata..." I thought aloud. Naruto started making conversation with me, it was about ramen if you're that desperate to know. We were interrupted by a vibration sound coming from Kiba. We both looked at him while he pulled out his phone.
"For Kami's sake!" Kiba muttered.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.
"It's nothing, my network just said I should top up my phone soon. I'll do it la-HEY!" I explained as I snatched his phone from his hand. I tiny hint of blush hit his cheeks as I touched his hand. "What are you doing?" He asked curiously. After about 2 minutes I gave Kiba back his phone. "What did you do?"
"You'll see." I winked and grinned.
"That reminds me...Nagare-chan can I have your number because everyone I text makes me bored! Especially Sasuke! He can be such an emo!" Naruto pouted.
"Sure." He handed me his phone and I put in my number. I handed it back to him.
"Thanks Nagare-chan!" Naruto hugged me tightly, like Yume did this morning. I looked over at Kiba who seemed a bit down.
"Kiba? You ok? Wanna hug?" I asked him evilly, like my hugs were poisonous. His blush came back to him. Without waiting for an answer, Naruto pulled Kiba into the embrace and squeezed us.
"GROUP HUG DATTEBAYO!" Naruto exclaimed.
"What are you doing now?" Sasuke asked as I realised that he was standing at the door.
"No hugs for emos!" Naruto stuck his tongue while Sasuke was scowling.
"That's favouritism Naruto." Kiba scolded him. I opened my mouth to speak when three voices interrupted me.
"I'll give you a hug Sasuke-kun!" Chirped the three voices. The voices belonged to Sakura, Ino and Karin.
"oh look, it's Little Miss Boy Toy!" Karin laughed. A vain popped in my head. I was about to curse her but Naruto interrupted me, again.
"Karin-san! Why are you so mean!?"
"You can't tell me what to do! Just because we're related doesn't mean you can boss me around!"
"Oh yeah, I forgot you two are second cousins..." Ino refreshed her memory. "Anyway! Sasuke-kun... HUG ME!" Ino tried to give a bear hug to Sasuke but he stepped back, letting Ino fall on the floor. I "Sasuke-kun! I want a hug!" Sakura tried to embrace him but instead he joined Naruto's group hug embrace.
"You guys are my human shields, ok?" He explained as he moved closer and closer to the centre.
"It's becoming uncomfortable now..." Kiba complained.
"Yeah! Emo! Why do you have to be so uncomfortable?!" Naruto protested.
"I don't even know how Naruto's arms can fit round three people. Plus, I'm surprised that I'm still breathing." I thought aloud. I finally got to say something. The three boys started smiling while the Sakura, Ino and Karin were outraged as I was technically touching Sasuke. They all groaned.
"Hey Sasuke! I've got Nagare-chan's number! Are you jealous? Because you're never jealous of me!" Naruto changed the subject. Sasuke looked at me, then to Naruto, then back at me, then to Kiba.
"What about Kiba?" he asked.
"Well I-" Kiba got cut off by the movement bell. Naruto released us from the 10 minute embrace and we all walked to our seats.

-Lunch time-

"Yay! Lunch time!" Tenten cheered. Everyone got out their lunches and started eating. We were sitting underneath a big shady oak tree. Temari had her back against the tree, Hinata was on her left, then it was Yume, then it was Tenten, then it was me. Everything was liveable, until everything felt cold and wet. I froze. I didn't know what to feel. There was a high chance that I knew who chucked a bucket of cold freezing water over me. I could her laughter from behind me.
"Great idea Ino!" Karin said catching her breath. Sakura nodded with agreement. The three bitches finally left us by ourselves. When I finally came back into reality, I realised that Temari was a bit wet as well. She was shaking herself dry. Water droplets dripped down my face I realised what happened. Then, a loud thud hit the soft grass, it was Shikamaru in his PE uniform. Some of the boys in our class are in the football team, clearly Shikamaru was bunking his practice. He crouched down in front of Temari and used the towel around his neck to dry her off. They were both blushing a crimson red as their eyes locked with each others, so adorable; I think Tenten, Hinata and Yume were thinking the same thing.
"Thanks..." Temari finally spoke, she spoke so softly. AS if she was about to spill out all her feelings in one move
"It's no problem..." They both awkwardly looked away from each other. Shikamaru just happened to be looking in my direction. I mouthed the words 'Nice job!' and gave him the thumbs up, he mouthed back 'shut up!'. I almost forgot about the fact that I was wet and cold as well.
"Nagare-chan are you ok?" Tenten broke the awkward silence.
"I really don't know..." I didn't know what to feel, should I be happy or sad? Angry or embarrassed? Then it hit me, somebody's towel hit me to be honest. I turned around to face Neji, I mean, Neji isn't being a jerk, for once. Neji had also been playing football, unlike Shikamaru.
"Wow...who knew you can be a gentleman?" I said sarcastically. I passed the towel to Tenten as she was a little wet as well; plus, she probably wanted to use the same towel Neji used.
"Wow...who knew you could be nice to people?" Neji mimicked me. I smirked.
"Well... I have some spare clothes in my locker so I'm going to get changed into those..." I said as I got up.
"What about a towel?" Hinata asked in a worried tone.
"She can borrow mine." An angelic voice said from behind me.
"Konan-sempai!" I was surprised as I didn't know when she got here. " When did you get here?"
"Just now...and I saw what happened so I thought I could help!" She smiled. She pulled out a towel from her bag. "Here. I had PE today but I didn't need it." I took the towel from her hands.
"Thank you Konan-sempai." I bowed and ran to the bathroom. "Those bitches are gonna get it!" I thought aloud, not caring about everyone looking at me as I left a water trail behind me.
