Chapter 2: What the…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sky is blue and clear in the peaceful village of Konoha. The birds are chirping, welcoming yet another bright new day. More people are starting to appear in the usually busy streets of Konoha. Some are getting ready to work; some are preparing their shops, and there even some who just took a walk around the village. …for example is that Rock Lee, who's currently running around the village with his equally insane teacher, Maito Gai, for the …err… 413th time this morning. Ehem! Let's just go on with the story.
I know that you people, the readers, right now are currently confused. If I were in your position, I'll also think, 'What the fuck? In the first chapter she said Konoha is almost a wasteland, and now suddenly it's a "peaceful village" she said!' Well, before you think of that, let's see our favorite blonde ninja first, shall we?
In a small apartment near the border of Konoha, the place where people know as the place where the obnoxious and loud teenage boy feared as the Kyuubi lived, laid still a quite small figure on the bed. A mop of golden blonde hair that poked out of the blanket and the steady rhythm of his breathing was a sign that he was still sound asleep. He was about to continue his sleep though, if it wasn't for his alarm clock which rang, signaling that it was time to get up.
'BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPP' was echoed throughout the neighborhood, followed with the sound of 'CRASH' when the boy's fist was collided with the alarm clock, now in ruins scattered on the floor.
The said boy sat up and stretched, blinked a couple of times, and observed his surroundings. He's familiar with this place, he was certain of it. It was his room. His old room, to be exact. But he wasn't supposed to be here; he was supposed to be-
'I was supposed to be with Sasuke…. or should I say his body?' Naruto's own thought brought a frown to his face, his eyes threatened to come tears again.
But before he can even start to brood again, a voice yelled in his head,
'NARUTOOOO! YOU IDIOOTTT! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?'
A familiar voice he noticed was Kyuubi's yelled at him. It was a surprise, since Kyuubi almost never went into his body again since he could go out from that place he called a prison. He will only went to his body if he's too lazy to walk on his own or simply to tease Naruto in his mind whenever he's thinking some, ehem, dirty thoughts of Sasuke when he's daydreaming or giving him some mental dirty pictures of the raven haired ninja when he's out hunting missing-nins. Believe him, the last one almost got him killed. If it wasn't because of the missing-nin's sympathy when they saw him suddenly got a severe nosebleed and only stared at him strange and fled leaving him alone, cursing Kyuubi in the back of his head while the fox cackled evilly in his head. Okay, maybe we're a bit out of the line of the story….Yeah, we're back now. Then why is the fox in his body right now and sounding not happy with it? He could go out if he wanted to… right?
"Kyuubi?" Naruto asked out loud.
'The one and only. Who else will it be but me, you idiot kit!' Kyuubi retorted harshly.
'Yeah I know…But why aren't you out there, but in here? You hate it here in my body. And what's with your mood? It's not like I'm forcing you to stay inside, you know. The most important thing right now is where are we? This place looks exactly the same like my old room.'
Naruto heard a sigh in the back of his head and thought he heard some mumbling like, 'where should I start' from Kyuubi. He just shrugged it off, thinking that Kyuubi's mood is probably bad right now. Damn, he could act like a girl PMS-ing sometimes.
Noticing that Kyuubi is quiet and he won't get any answers real soon, he stood up and stretched some more. He went out the room and head to the kitchen, hoping to find some food. He's really starving right now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Hey, this place is just the same like my old apartment!' Naruto took a cup ramen from the cabinet and put it on the table. He began to cook some hot water for it. He sat on a chair and waited for the hot water.
'Strange, the cabinet is a bit taller than from the last time I went to my apartment.' Naruto narrowed his eyes. 'Something is wrong.' But being the ignoring person he is, he just shrugged it off.
'Oi, Kyuubi, you still alive?'
But seeing that Kyuubi is still not responding, he took the cooked water and poured it into the cup ramen and waited for three minutes. He gulped the ramen quickly as soon as it was ready to be eaten. When he saw the cup was already empty, he decided to explore the whole apartment wondering if the rest of the apartment is exactly the same as his own. But this couldn't be his apartment. His was already collapsed by the pervert sannin's Kuchiyose if he remembered clearly. He furrowed his eyebrows and shakes his head, trying to clear his head from those memories.
'Oh yeah! I wonder if there still are some pictures of Sasuke I got from my hard work of stalking him for years! There are some which is quite an eyeful… If I remember correctly, it's inside the closet in the back corner along with some more Sasuke goodies…'
Well… That sure got his mood better… As Naruto headed to his 'Special Closet of Sasuke!', or so he called it, he was still wondering why Kyuubi was so quiet. He usually got excited if they're heading to 'The Closet'.
'Kyuubi you okay? There's something wrong with you, usually you won't shut up whenever I said I'm going to the closet. I'll lend you a Sasuke plushie if that will get your mood better.'
'Hn… I was thinking and I'm still thinking… So don't bother me right now…'
Naruto shrugged his shoulders and kept walking. He got past his bedroom, a full body sized mirror, and it's just right…there in the corner.
…Wait. Rewind that. Yup, to when he got to the mirror.
Naruto froze at his spot and quickly go back to where the mirror was. His eyes widen and he touched his hair. It's short and spiky. Last time he checked it was just a little above his shoulders. Then he touched his face. It was round and chubby with his baby fat. Last time he mirrored, his baby fat was already gone and his face was quite handsome and mature. He touched the scars on his cheeks. It was still deep. It should've been lighter since Kyuubi's seal was already half-undone. He touched his body. The muscles he earned after all these years of training were gone, replaced again by baby fats.
The reflection on the mirror was not him… It was him as a BOY! Alas, a high pitched scream which came from a small old apartment echoed throughout the village of Konoha.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Panicked, Naruto ran to the window and saw the scenery outside. Instead of seeing an almost-wasteland Konoha, he saw the lively and busy streets of Konoha. He screamed again, making people to turn to him and looked at him as if he's some kind of freak.
'Calendar…calendar…I GOT TO SEE THE CALENDAR!'
Naruto scrambled to the calendar and almost tripped when saw the year on it. Instead of seeing the year he's supposed to see, he saw the year when he was only 12 years old.
"HOLY SHIT! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?" Naruto screamed on top of his lungs.
'Oh, you have finally realized…' Kyuubi leisurely said.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'VE FINALLY REALIZED KYUUBI! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? WHY IS MY BODY SUDDENLY TURNED INTO MY 12 YEAR OLD BODY!"
'Calm down, kit. I was thinking how I was going to tell you, but now you've finally realized yourself so there's no need for me to explain more things to you. Now, calm down and relax. I'm going to explain the situation you got us into right now.'
Naruto took a deep breath, and exhaled. Before he's going to panic again, at least he has to hear Kyuubi explain this…this…situation.
'Now that you've calmed down, I'm going to start. Hmm… First of all, you have to know that this happened to us because of-'
'DING DONG' the sound of the bell interrupted Kyuubi's explanation. Kyuubi tried to open his mouth to continue again but the ringer of the bell was so persistent he pressed the bell a few more times. Naruto could see the vein popping out Kyuubi's head right now.
'DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG'
'Hurry up and answer that damn door first, kit. I don't think the lunatic at your door won't stop pressing the bell and driving me crazy real soon.'
Naruto chuckled silently in his head. Promising Kyuubi that he could continue as soon as he shooed the person who's at his front door away first, he walked towards the front door and opened it with a click.
But when Naruto saw who was at the door, Kyuubi was completely sure it's going to be much later until he could have a talk about their situation with Naruto.
As soon as Naruto saw who the person is, he froze at his spot. His eyes widened and he hold his breath.
Right there, right in front of him, the person who was at his door, was none other than…
"Sa…suke…?" Naruto's word choked on his throat, it barely came out of his mouth.
The said person, we all know as Sasuke, just raised an eyebrow. "Who else, Dobe? You're late. Kakashi-sensei told me to come and get you." Sasuke eyed him from top to bottom. He narrowed his eyes. "And you're not ready yet." Said Sasuke when he noticed Naruto was still in his pajamas.
Naruto, still in a state of shock, didn't move a finger. He just stood there eyes wide and blinked once.
5 Seconds Passed…
Sasuke waved a hand in front of Naruto's face, intending to break his shocked state. "Oi, Dobe, you there?"
But Naruto still didn't budge and just gaped.
5 More Seconds Passed…
"You looked like you've seen a ghost." Sasuke added.
At this time, Naruto already closed his mouth. His eyes are glistening with tears and looked like he was at about to cry.
5 More Seconds Passed…
"…Naruto. This is not funny. Why are you looking at me as if I just rose from the land of the dead?"
Kyuubi snorted a 'Nice intuition' at the back of Naruto's head. While Naruto just raised his shaken hands slowly and tears are starting to come out.
5 More…Yah, you know already…
At this point, Naruto already glomped Sasuke and hugged him really tight.
"SASUKEEEEEEEEEE!"
