Byakuya

Chapter 8

Dressed seemingly in grey sweatpants and a dark blue sweatshirt Naruto stepped out of his and Lee's room, thankful that the tai-jutsu user had let him have his privacy. He doubted slipping out would have been as easy then, considering what he was wearing under his clothes.

Sakura appeared from her and Ten-Ten's room in her night clothes, a pair of loose pink sweat pants and a white t-shirt with a strawberry. She rubbed her eyes, her toothbrush and tooth paste in hand, before she froze. She turned her gaze on Naruto and her eyes widened.

"Naruto! You're sick! Where do you think you are going? Just because Kakashi sensei said we were taking this night easy doesn't mean you have to go training!" She said, stepping into Naruto's personal space. Naruto wasn't bothered by it though. After all, Sakura had done it all the time when they had been cell seven. Or, more likely it had been Naruto treading into her space. Naruto smiled slightly, scratching the back of his head lazily.

"Saa… Sakura-Chan, no need to worry! I'm just going to take an easy jog. I'm not allowed to use chakra for Tsunade-baa-Chan, remember? Stupid old hags and their orders…" Naruto muttered at the end. Sakura looked sill worried though.

"Well, I suppose…" Sakura said then. Naruto smiled brightly at her before running out of the hallway.

"Thanks Sakura-Chan!" She could hear him yell from behind the corner. She could feel her brow twitching slightly at the nasal voice, and smiled, old memories of their time together going through her mind.

He's changed much, but there's still some…Naruto in him.

------------------------

After Naruto had jogged some blocks, he turned to an abandoned alley, and pulled the sweatshirt over his head and took off the pants. He shivered slightly as the slightly cool night air touched his stomach, before shaking his head amusedly.

If Tala were here he would probably screech me for under dressing. Naruto thought to himself while checking that his black leather pants and tight orange leather top complete with belts and buckles was still on place. He tightened the leather strap around his throat slightly, before taking some money out of the sweatpants and tucking the bills on the middle slash on the side of his leather pants, a place that was usually meant for tips.

But Naruto wasn't dancing tonight for money, so he just smiled. Naruto made a neat pile of the clothes he had had over his leather outfit while leaving the hotel their ninja team had been staying in, and was just about to walk away from the alley, when he sensed movement under one of the cardboard boxes. His ninja-senses flying haywire, Naruto reached for a shuriken placed in the folds of his leather top.

The movement for the weapon wasn't as easy as it would normally have been, but because most of the clubs had guards that checked that no ninja weapons entered searched the visitor's clothes and such, they had to be hidden in to the clothes so that they could suffer even closer investigation. Naruto swallowed and pulled the top piece of cardboard off the pile. His eyes widened when he saw there was a boy lying under it. The boy, perhaps three years younger than Naruto, was wearing a thin T-shirt whose down part had been ripped off, showing off the boys stomach and hip bones. The boy had lilac short hair, and with his tight shorts, boots and black net tights screamed 'whore'.

Naruto's eyes softened when he saw that the boy was shivering. Naruto reached for the boys shoulder, tucking the shuriken away, and was surprised when the boys eyes snapped open, and he clambered away from his hand with fear.

The boys gaze settled on his face, searching him for ill meaning, before the boys cheeks flushed. Naruto let out a slight laugh that the boy answered with a slight smile.

"W-who a-are you?" The boy asked his voice shaking as he shivered with the cold.

"Uzumaki Naruto. A pleasure." Naruto said smiling, before offering his hand to the boy. The boy looked at the hand suspiciously, before taking it. Naruto pulled the younger boy on his feet with ease. The boy stared at Naruto for a moment, being now a lot closer and being able to see Naruto's blue eyes and messy blonde hair. The boy blushed.

"U-umm… I'm K-koichi." Koichi stuttered the blushed gaining even deeper tint to it as he spoke. Naruto laughed joyously; seemingly oblivious to the effect he had on Koichi. Naruto saw Koichi wrap his arms around himself, trying to ward off the cold. Naruto then remembered the dark blue sweatshirt he was holding.

"Here." Naruto said, pulling the shirt over Koichi's head. Koichi shifted the shirt slightly on his shoulders so that it sat better, while his grey blue eyes were wide in wonder. Koichi froze.

"What do you want? I don't do street walking just like that. I'll have you know I'm elite." Koichi said his eyes full off rebellion and mistrust. Naruto moved his hands over Koichi's arms to warm the other boy up, while smiling brightly.

"An Elite? Then you must be really good… And don't worry, I'm not asking for anything… Now you mind explaining why you are on the streets?"

"I… I lost my Danna." Koichi whispered with some shame in his voice. Naruto's eyes widened. For Koichi to have a Danna at such an early age meant he had to be good. Naruto gave it a moment of thought, before telling his idea to Koichi. Koichi's eyes sparkled at the thought and Naruto smiled.

"Thank you… nii-san?" Koichi said as they exited the alley, with Naruto's arm over Koichi's shoulders, glaring at anyone who dared to check the youth out. Koichi's look was slightly questioning and Naruto understood he must be asking if he could be his onii-san.

"You're welcome, otouto." Naruto smiled, before leading his new younger brother along the streets of the big wave country village.

----------------------

The walls of the under ground club shook along with the floor as the huge speakers sent the music across the whole building. The high and low beats of the bass and drums made his eardrums shake, and Naruto smiled brightly. He loved being back in the new world he had discovered some years ago.

Naruto smirked before pulling Koichi to a bathroom with him. The huge bathroom was painted black and blood red with a dim lightning and shiny floor. The music was lower now, but still ear shaking loud. Koichi looked at Naruto in confusion. Naruto took Koichi's hand and pulled him in front of one of the huge mirrors on the other side of the toilet, trying to find a spot that wasn't covered with graffiti's.

Koichi was still looking at Naruto in confusion as Naruto pulled night black eyeliner from his pants.

"Trust me?" Naruto asked from Koichi smirking in a way that sent chills down the younger boy's spine. Koichi smiled slightly unsure at Naruto.

"Oh, forget it, just close your eyes." Naruto commanded, and Koichi did as asked. Naruto pulled one of Koichi's eyelids down and painted a thick line of black, near the roots of his eyelashes, before doing the same to the other eye.

"Open up." Naruto said, and was happy to notice that when Koichi opened his eyes, the slightly doll like grey blue eyes were no longer nervous. Naruto indicated with his hand for Koichi to look upwards, after which he painted a line of black under each eye, by the eyelashes. Naruto pulled back slightly to admire his handiwork, before putting the eyeliner away. Naruto the pulled a cam from his pants.

"Do you have everything in there?" Koichi asked, slightly amazed how Naruto could fit so much stuff on his black leather pants which were really skintight. Naruto laughed.

"Only the necessities, otouto." Naruto said, before starting to fluff Koichi's hair. He took some water from the sink to spray on Koichi's hair, before setting the before flat hair on loose curls around Koichi's face. The light lilac hair now looked cleaner, not that it had been dirty to begin with, and reached a few inches under Koichi's earlobes. Koichi turned to look into the mirror, looking past the 'Yuki+pink hairgirl' graffiti.

Koichi gasped at the boy looking back at him from the mirror. The black kohl around his eyes brought out the blue in the amazingly, bringing out the roundness of his eyes, giving him a more other-worldly look. Koichi reached to push one of the loose curls out of his eyes, before wiggling his eyebrows at the mirror and laughing; a sound Naruto found very enticing.

"Oh, wow. If I would've known eyeliner and a cam could do so much before, I would've gotten better customers for sure!" Koichi exclaimed, while Naruto smiled brightly.

"Ah, otouto, you think too much. Relax and enjoy for once instead!" Naruto said as he hugged the other boy and turned into the mirrors to fix his appearance, looking past the 'Tala+DrakeHorny PDA'.

Koichi wrapped his arms around himself slightly, relishing the warmth of the hug, before smiling at the older boy.

"Of course, oniisan."

About that fact that it'll get a little confusing from now on, well, have you ever been in a group of like 5 friends? People often talk over each other and randomly jump from subject to subject. I've kind of tried to pull that aspect forth here.
