Peter Pan

Chapter Three: It's Time To Grow-Up!!

After hearing everything that he heard, Naruto just wanted to go to bed. Kyuubi and Konahamaru more that agreed with him and went to bed also. Hell, Even Akamaru was tired. (A/N: And he slept the whole time!!)

Naruto was always a light sleeper. Kyuubi could never scare Naruto in his sleep even if he tried. Naruto would always hear Kyuubi get out of bed. But that night, it was not Kyuubi that woke Naruto late at night. It was a light feel, almost like air, touching his lips. Opening his eyes, he comes face-to-face with a black figure.

Scared shitless, Naruto gasped, causing the figure to 'fly' to the upper-right hand corner of the room. And upon hearing Naruto gasp, Akamaru smells something unfamiliar and starts barking at the figure. This startled the figure to no end. And when the figure was sure Naruto was not looking, he 'flew' out the window.

NARUTO POV

What the hell is this feeling? I swear if this is Kyuubi trying to scare me AGAIN, he needs to try harder. Jeez. I can feel his hair on my face and—Wait! What is Kyuubi doing? Touching my lips? HUH?! O—K things just dropped off the scared shitless scale. That's it! I'm waking up.

……………………………………………

O—k. So it's not Kyuubi but……a boy? A handsome boy. "Woah!"…………Did he just fly?! Akamaru started barking. "Ahh" I went to the window to see where the boy went…but nothing is there. How odd. What is Akamaru barking at? The boy's gone. He's gonna wake Konahamaru. I could've sworn I saw someone. But then again, he was so handsome. I think I can still picture his face. Sigh…… Jet black hair, Black eyes, Pale skin. No One can really look like that…right?

Ah well.

NORMAL POV

Ever since Naruto's encounter with the boy, Naruto's been……well let's just say he's distracted. Naruto, and Kyuubi go to a Catholic school (A/N: So do I!! It's fun!!) and they were in the middle of sewing. (Girly!!) But Naruto being who he was, stopped sewing to draw a picture, a picture of him in his bed, and the boy floating above him.

SLAP!!

Everyone in the room gasped as Iruka-Sensei, The meanest teacher at the school, banged the meter sick he had on Naruto's drawing.

"If this is you in your bed." Iruka-Sensei was holding the picture in front of Naruto, pointing to the scribble of him in a bed, "What is this?" He said pointing to the boy above his self-portrait.

Now Naruto knew that he could not lie to Iruka-Sensei, if he did he would be in even more trouble, so he told him the honest truth.

"A boy." He said.

Iruka-Sensei thought that even though Naruto was not his brightest student, he could not be that stupid so… he dispatched a letter of outrage to Mr. Namikaze…and Naruto thought his life was over.

Minato Namikaze had been practicing small talk all afternoon, just as his brother instructed him to. He was dressed in Black Suit with his nametag on it reading: "Minato Namikaze."

"I say, It's nice weather we're having, no?" Minato said nervously.

And now his opportunity had arrived. Sir Kakashi 'Eye' Hatake, the president of the bank, the man was dressed in a all Black outfit like Minato's, but more formal, he had a odd style of grey hair that went one way to the other. But as goofy-looking Mr. Hatake was, he was a man who enjoyed small talk…almost as much as a good balance sheet.

Naruto walked as one condemned. He was walking home with Kyuubi and Konahamaru, right passed their Father's work, when then…

BLING, BLING, BLING!!

FATE

NARUTO'S POV

Awwwwww Man!! This sucks. Not only did Iruka-Sensei give me detention, for 'lying', but he wrote a letter to Dad?! MAN!!

BLING, BLING, BLING!!

Huh? That boy… Shino!

"The letter! Wait! Stop!" I shout, trying to get his attention.

I start to sprint after him. Hey. Who ever said a blonde boy can't run? I can hear Akamaru barking at me, and Konahamaru and Kyuubi telling me to stop or wait. But I can't wait or stop. This may be my only chance to get to Father before the Shino does. But I got to keep running if I want to think about that!!

"Wait! Shino! Stop!" I say again trying to catch up with him.

Why the hell does Shino have to be so Goddamn fast. (A/N: he's riding a bike, Naruto…think a little bit…)

"You there, stop! Wait!" I'm still talking to you Shino!!

Oh-no!

"Father!! I can Explain!!" I scream really loud to make sure Dad and Shino could hear me.

I'm getting closer to Shino, That's good but I'm on Akamaru?! Shit now Shino's joining the ride…and we're headed straight for Dad. I repeat, Oh-no…

NORMAL POV

"I have been humiliated!! NO!" Minato yells,taking Akamaru outside to the dog house, one they never used.

"I must become a man that children fear, and adults respect. Or we shall all end up on the street!" Minato shouts, finally tying Akamaru to a chain by the dog house.

The Children all have sad looks on their faces, and Kushina notices.

"Minato, not so loud. The neighbors will hear you." She says softly to try to clam her husband down. This had no effect on Minato's behavior.

"Let them hear. Let the whole world know! This is not a nurse! This is a dog." Minato had a very scary look on his face, and Akamaru could tell because he backed up and started whining.

Before Minato went into the house, the nurse's veil that Kyuubi put on Akamaru when he was 5, was torn off of him. In this Happening, Kushina was shocked that Minato would do something like this. She had never seen this side of him. Naruto, Kyuubi, and Konahamaru all looked heartbroken. Minato walked over to Naruto, who was dead afraid of his dad at the time, and said

"Tomorrow you begin your instruction…with Uncle Jiraiya. It is time for you to grow up!"

Jiraiya looked down at Naruto, noticing that he was on the verge of tears. For comfort, he put his hand on Naruto's shoulder.



KUSHINA'S POV

Oh…poor Akamaru, the kids must be heartbroken, especially Kyuubi. Oh, Minato……must you throw Akamaru out when it's snowing out?

"Mother" That's Konahamaru's Voice, "Can anything harm us after the night-light are lit?"

I could tell that Konahamaru was asking me this with all his heart so I'll give him my answer.

"No, precious." I say slowly, "They are the eyes a mother leaves behind to guard her children."

I walk over to Naruto to say goodnight and out of the blue he jumps up and asks

"Mom, must you go to the party?"

I noticed that he had a sense of fear and hope in his voice. Now this does not sound like my little Naruto. But this caused Kyuubi and Konahamaru to jump up and beg me to stay at home.

"Please Mother, Father can go by himself." Kyuubi said with a little hate in his voice.

"By himself?" I say lifting Konahamaru onto my lap on Naruto's bed, where we were now gathered. "Your father is a brave man, but he's going to need a special kiss to face his colleagues tonight."

I noticed that both Naruto and Kyuubi looking at me like I had grown another head.

"Father? Brave?" Naruto spits out. Total hate in his voice.

I turn to see Kyuubi shaking his head as of saying 'No way is my father brave.'

"There are many different kinds of bravery. There's the bravery of thinking about others before oneself. Now, your father has never brandished a sword nor fired a pistol, thank heavens. But he has made many sacrifices for his family…and put away many dreams."

"Where did he put them?" Konahamaru asked me.

"He put them in a drawer. And sometimes, late at night, we take them out and admire them. But it gets harder and harder to close the drawer. He does. And that is way he is brave."

Before leaving their room, I think Naruto and Kyuubi have a better understanding of what Minato goes through.

Chapter 3 End

Allright!! That was a lllloooonnnnggg Chapter. Well, please review and in the Chapter, the figure comes back to the Uzumaki house…..but what for? If out later. Bye for now!!
