1Recap
"Maybe." Sasuke said as they reached what looked like a really long dirt road.
"So how long till we get there?" Itachi asked as he looked out at the berch trees.
"We are here. This is the driveway." Kakash said as he drove out of the dirt path and into a small dirt patch which connected with a wooden garage.
Sasuke opened his door and stepped out to take a good look at his surroundings.
He noted that they were in the boonies, for he couldn't see his neighbors, only trees. Lots and lots of goddamn pine trees.
End Recap
"Is there nothing but pines?!" Sasuke yelled as if he could see civilization.
"Yup, cause Iruka and I own about a good 90 acres around here. The house and backyard heads off onto a peninsula out into the water. So you wont ever see any neighbors." Kakashi laughed.
"What ever." Sasuke said and then walked a little ways while dragging his suitcase over the grass filled land. He was beginning to miss asphalt already.
On the edge of the dirt drive way there was an old shed and then a small fence that wasn't longer then ten feet long. It didn't connect anything, it was there to just, well, tell people that the drive way ended.
Then he looked up at the three story house. It looked like a big ass cabin. All made of wood.
The first story was a good 6 feet off the ground and you had to walk up about ten steps to get to the front door."Wow." Sasuke said looking at all the trees. Sad that he grew up in a city were there weren't that many.
"Sure got a lot of privacy here Kakashi." Itachi said grabbing his bags from the trunk.
"Yeah, I like it. I can sit on the porch in my underwear at any time of day and not worry about people seeing." Kakashi said as he shut his door and began to stried to the house.
Sasuke gagged at the mental image that would be stuck in his brain until he could beat it out of his mind, which he would do tonight if noone bothered him.
Then he noticed that Kakashi was leaving so he rushed after him, almost tripping over a damn root that he swear to god moved and tripped him on purpose.
"Damn fucking moving root." Sasuke said as he regained his composer.
"Sasuke, stop cursing at inanimate objects and lets go." Itachi said as he walked passed the boy.
After Sasuke got up, the root moved back into its original position on the dirt.
Itachi and Sasuke followed Kakashi up the stairs. But before Sasuke entered the house he noticed a small two story building behind the house, before it slowly disappeared into the trees.
'Weird.' Sasuke thought as he could have sworn he saw two bright green eyes glowing an unholy color and then something bright orange swished by the window. but then he bumped into Itachis back as he got onto the tiny porch that couldn't even fit four people on it.
Itachi just moved his arm back and jabbed Sasuke in the stomach. Sasuke almost doubled over from loss of balance, but regain himself before Kakashi turned around from the door.
"Welcome to your new home." Kakashi said opening the door that wasn't locked cause noone was around to come in and steal stuff so no point in locking it right?
They all walked into the fairly large house/cabin, cause the whole inside was made of wood.
Inside the door Sasuke found himself in a small mud-room that had a large wall closet to the right and to the left was a folding door that went into the small laundry room, it was currently undone, and you could see a basket with some folded clothes in it, obviously waiting to be put away.
Once he took his shoes off and placed them on the rug in the mud room Sasuke stepped up into the kitchen area kinda. To his right was the stairs that must go into the basement they turned to the left and you couldn't see the basement unless you went down. To his left was a kitchen, well it also was a dinning room and family room cause there was no walls between the three. Across from the kitchen was a bathroom, simple. It had a sink, toilet and a shower/tub.
The kitchen consisted of a microwave, a dish washer, a sink, cobnuts, a stove of course, and a fridge/freezer. It also had counters going all along the wall until about half of the room but stopped when it hits the fridge/freezer, the other half of the wall was the dinning area, basically a table with five chairs, and two huge windows on the wall with the counters, and then on the right of that window was another one, so if you stood in the front door the second window would be far in front of you.
On the other side of the fridge/freezer was a half a wall but it only served as four counters, which held the oven and dish washer, on the side of the dish washer was a magnet that said,
'Dishes are-'and then a little 5 link chain that had a flipable side, one side said 'Clean' the other 'Dirty' 'Thats a help if I want plates.' Sasuke thought as he followed the small half a wall. It had a single support beam on the far end of it.
The living room was to the right of the dinner table, and the only way you knew you were in it is because the of the 'really fake wood,' as Sasuke called it, ended and then a tan carpet came. Inside the family room was a door that went onto a small screened in porch, and then a large deck. And then to the left of the door was a fairly big entertainment center with a PS2 and 'Guitar hero two' hooked up to the 36 inch tv screen tv. To the left of that was a dog bed. 'They have dogs?' Sasuke thought with grimace but then kept looking around the house as his brother and Kakashi talked at the table, you could see a couple humming birds drinking out of a special honey feeder, then a crow could be seen outside on a bird feeder, but then it turned its head and starred right into Sasukes eyes, black mixing with black, until the bird flapped its mighty wings and started to caw insanely as it flew towards the house. Faster and faster its ink black wings beat against the wind that dare to stop its flight. reaching the house it crashed into the window and fell onto the deck. The sound making both Itachi and Kakashi jump in surprise and look out the window to see the prone bird. Now Sasuke getting really creped out decided to see if it was alive, so he snuck out of the porch and onto the deck and over to the laying bird.
Closer and closer Sasuke got to the bird. When he finally reached the poor creature it wasn't moving, but its beady eye was bright, like it was still watching him as he made a grab for a grill tong and pocked the bird.
It didn't move, so he pocked it again and again, until he stood up from his squatting position and turned to the window and to his brother and guardian.
"I think its dead." Sasuke said, but just as he did the bird came back to life and started squawking up a strong and began to attack Sasukes head.
"Ahhh! Ouch!" Sasuke said as he made a mad dash for the screen door. He flew into the house as soon as Itachi opened the door and then slammed it onto the offending Raven.
"What the hell was that all about?" Itachi said as he went over to where his brother was lying on the floor.
"I have no idea, but I don't trust this place very much, or at least the animals" Sasuke said as he watched the dark bird disappear into an old giant willow tree down by the edge of the yard, just before the slope to the river.
Back to the family room Sasuke, after the got over the shock of almost getting rabies from a bird, noticed a huge window above the dog bed, that gave view to a good portion of the screened in porch. There was another window to the left of that and below the window was a black leather couch that had a cat on top of it. There was a black leather chair kinda in the middle of the small room, and a support beam right behind it to the left.
Then in the fair right corner was stairs going up to the second level.
Sasuke walked over to the cat, which turned out to be a kitten, it was small, black and white.
It looked up at the boy with the biggest eyes Sasuke had ever scene and it started to purr as he to began to stroked its soft fur.
"I see your making friends." Itachi said as he looked up at Sasuke and the kitten.
"Yeah, cause maybe he'll eat that damn crow, so whats its name?" Sasuke asked as the kitten jumped down and walked away out of the screen door to, no doubt, kill some miss or other small pray within reach.
"Yes, that there is Bilbo Baggins." Kakashi said proudly.
Sasuke and Itachi titched and looked at him.
"What? Naruto named it after he read 'The Hobbit.' Its his cat after all." Kakashi said shrugging and turning away from the two boys.
"So when do we meet Iruka and Naruto?" Itachi asked as he sipped the tea that Kakashi had gotten for the two of them.
"Well, I can show you your rooms and then Iruka, and Naruto should be home, after all today was his last day of school. Naruto I mean. Iruka still has to go to this teachers convention in a few days" Kakashi said getting up. Itachi fallowed and grabbed his bags.
"The upper level holds Iruka and my room, along with a bathroom and a computer room that used to belong to Naruto. But then he moved into the basement saying that we were too loud. But that's a false accusation. We're very quiet." Kakashi said as he turned on the lights and headed down the steps. Itachi just stuck smirked at the thought Sasuke saw that there were a couple of dishes of water of food at the top of the stairs but then followed the retreating form of his brother and Kakashi.
he was about 3/4 of the way down when the stairs stopped and then it made a left.
right as you left the stairs you could automatically enter a bedroom or make a left down a small hallway with pictures on the wall.
"This is your room along with Narutos." Kakashi said as he opened the door to see a fairly large bedroom, that was bright orange. Sasuke walked in as Kakashi and Itachi left to see Itachis room.
Sasuke looked around and saw that the room consisted of one small window on the far right corner of the room. It was up high by the ceiling only about a foot and a half wide, and a foot tall.
It let a little light into the room from the midday sun.
Sasuke saw a big oak dresser right ahead of him, and then a bunk bed in the far left corner of the room. In front of the bed was a closet, that if he blew a hole through, you would end up in the basement hallway.
Sighing Sasuke walked over to the bed to find that the bottom bunk was empty, save for two blankets and a knitted dark blue quilt on the end of the bed. The top bunk was a messy. It had a single thick dark orange down feather blanket, along with a thin sheet under it. The blanket was half on half off the bed.
Sasuke threw his stuff into the closet and preceded to look around his new room.
Sasuke smiled as he saw that the boy he would be rooming with had posters of all the bands he like.
There was Thousand Foot Krutch, Linkin Park, Incubus, The Beetles, Panic at the disco, Bloodhound gang and a variety of others that decorated the ceiling.
Sasuke dug through his backpack for his black i-pod video and stuck one earphone into his ear, and turned on 'Drive' by Incubus.
Walking over to the dresser Sasuke noticed that on top of it were a mac lab top, and a white i-pod nano,
"Damn, their rich what are they doing in a hick town like this?" Sasuke asked himself outloud, not noticing Kakashi walking by his door.
"God." Kakashi said who walked by shaking his head as he shut the door on the Uchiha, who didn't notice. "Idiot, at least be smart enough to shut the door." Kakashi said as he made his way up the stairs.
On the dresser was a picture of a man with light brown hair, and a scare running across his nose, he was wearing a loose white button up shirt that was open showing off his feminine figure and had on ripped blue jeans, his hair was in a high pony tail, and was in the arms of another man who looked just like Kakashi, but he was wearing a grey wife beater and brow board shorts. In the picture Kakashi was smiling, and had his chin resting in the crock of the other mans neck. The other man, who Sasuke suspected to be Iruka, had on a nice blush on his face. Then there was boy about 15 with the brightest blue eyes Sasuke had ever seen, and a mess of spiky blonde hair and three scars on either side of his face. He was smiling with the brightest smile Sasuke had ever seen. the boy was kneeling in front of the two other men and had a peace sign up, one of his eyes were closed because, Sasuke could guess, was looking into the sun judging by the darker lake and trees behind the three.
Sasuke blushed at the boy for the kid didn't have a shirt on and you could see his washboard abs. The three seemed to be on a lake in the pontoon that Kakashi was talking about. 'Must be Lake Bemidji.' Sasuke thought as he put down the picture. He looked back to the table to see some pieces of paper with song lyrics on them. A couple of the other papers had anime drawings on them. One had the paper split in half going horizontal. On the top was the picture of a woman with her eyes closed and her hands raised and there was a dark background to it.
On the bottom on the paper was what looked like a girl with her arms raised as well, but there seemed to be strings attached to them and her feet. Her eyes were slits and she had no nose, and her mouth was an X.
"It's a life sized puppet." Sasuke said out loud as he held up the picture. There were two pictures of what looked like a sewn together fox doll on either side of the puppet girl. They were in a box. Below the girl was the words 'Your just a puppet.'
Smiling Sasuke said "So, thats what its from. Thousand foot krutch." Sasuke said putting it down. Then noticed something on the back.
It was scribbled but Sasuke could read it, it said 'To Naruto; Remember that we shouldn't have, to have someone control our fate for us. We make it our own.' from your favorite buddy Konkuro.
"So he's not an artist." he said himself with a chuckle as he walked out of the room to find his brother.
Walking down the small hallway in the basement Sasuke looked at the items on the wall which seemed to be photos of generations back in the family because the pictures had Kakashi in them as a kid, and then some of Iruka, and what was weird was that there were many old pictures of a blonde man, he looked like an older version of Naruto, but they were in black and white. It showed the man standing in front of a small two story house deep in the woods. There was a woman in his arms, she had bright red hair. They were both smiling, and the woman appeared to be with child, because her stomach seemed to be bigger than her body shape. She has a petit form so you could tell she was pregnant. Sasuke assumed they were Narutos parents cause the man looked just like him. "Maybe this Naruto is more like me then I thought. Maybe his father and mother were killed and they knew Kakashi and Iruka too." Sasuke said as he moved on to another photo.
Sasuke was to the end of the picture lin up where there were pictures of Kakashi and his father, Fugaku. They were both smiling cheekily, and Sasuke found himself looking into one picture that had himself, Itachi, his father and Kakashi in ot. Sasuke looked to be about the age of 3 and his brother 5. Fugaku was holding both of them in his arms and smiling brightly at the camera, Itachi just looked wide eyed at the world around him. and Sasuke was smiling like no tomorrow like his father, you could see Kakashi in the background in what seemed to be a speedboat, he was waving at who ever was taking the picture, the sun was high in the sky behind them signifying early afternoon.
"That was taken before the boating accident." said a voice from behind him.
Sasuke flinched and turned around to see Kakashi behind him looking over his shoulder at the photo..
"Kakashi?" Sasuke asked not really understanding what the older man ment.
"That day, I was driving the boat. It was just you, your brother, your father and myself. Your mother was staying back at the cabin with my cousin Ebisu and his wife Anko. It was Ebisus cabin, we were on lake Itaska (spl?) and I hadn't driven that speedboat on the lake yet that year so I didn't know the water level. We were going a good 60 mile an hour, you and your brother were loving it. Real seamen I might say you two were. But the fun was brought to a screeching halt when we suddenly rammed on top of a rock bed that was uncovered due to the slight drought earlier that year. You were on the side that struck the boat and you was jolted off due to the sudden stop. You fell from the boat, your brother had taken a nasty fall and cut his face on a sharp out jetting piece of granite. His face was bleeding all over and he was unconscious. Your father had barely had enough time to grab him before he too were flung from the boat and into the dark water, so he couldn't catch reach you in time." Kakashi said this without taking his eyes from the picture.
"I remember your father screaming like hell trying to find you. After I heard him shouting and saw that you were missing. You were then pulled back into the boat, but you weren't breathing and I had to do CPR. It was the scariest moment in both Fugakus life and mine. I can still remember you laying there and Itachi laying next to you.
Kakashi then laughed. "Your mother never did let me drive that damn boat again." Kakashi laughed looking down at the boy in front of him.
"So thats why I hate speed boats." Itachi said coming out from around the corner.
"Ya, sorry about that." Kakashi said rubbing the back of his head with his hand.
"Its fine. but I remember that day, when I fell off I could have sworn I saw someone in the water swimming next to me. It was like a yellow and orange blur in the water, but I remember it swimming down and grabbing my arm before I sank any deeper into the water, and pulled me to the surface. Then you showed up and pulled me onto the boat." Sasuke said.
Kakashi seemed to pale a little when he heard that part.
"W-well, you can look around a bit more, but Naruto and Iruka should be home anytime now." with that he left the youngest Uchiha to himself and to soak in the new information that was given to him. "So, I have been here before. and whats with that strange person that save my bro?" Sasuke thought out loud.
Going further down the hall Sasuke found himself in another small family room. It had a couch next to a support beam in the middle of the room. It was between that and the wall, kinda set in there snuggly. There was a tv in front of the couch and a old trunk that looked like it was used as a coffee table between the two. There was a piano to the far right wall, right next to were Sasuke was standing.
Sasuke walked into the small room and saw that there was a bathroom to his left and then straight ahead of him was Itachis room. Sasuke opened the door and saw that it held one bed and a dresser. Some of Itachis things were out on the bed, and a couple of his posters were on the wall. Thirty seconds to mars, sex pistles, papa roach and some others.
Getting bored Sasuke decided to take a piss and then go up stairs.
After pulling out his package and making a quick delivery he zipped it up and then washed his hands, but that's when he saw two bright green eyes watching him from behind the door of the shower, the same ones from that weird building out back.
"Huh?" Sasuke asked as he looked at it. It seemed to be a dark red and orange color.
Then the said creature decided now was the best time to make a run for it and it did. It swooshed passed Sasuke, right between the legs making him fall over.
"Gah!" he yelled as he fell to the floor.
Then from upstairs you could hear Itachi yelling.
"You still alive down there?"
And Sasuke answering his brothers oh so concerned voice with a scoul.
"Something tried to kill me." he said with a normal tone as he walked up the stairs, only to find that the little devil was in the arms of the blonde boy he saw in the picture.
"Huh? You talking about Kyuubi?" the blonde, who Sasuke now guessed was Naruto, asked as he petted the fox like creature.
'Hes even cuter in person.' Sasuke thought and then shook his head to get that thought out of his mind. Sasuke Uchiha was NOT gay. but that boy was cute, with that half unbuttoned grey and white button up shirt, and silver jeans that looked like the knee down was ripped off, leaving a good about of tanned leg for his eyes to eat up. his hair was in the same form as he saw in the picture, defying gravity and doing it in style.
'I am soooo not gay. I just like to take extra time in seeing what some guys are wearing. Sasuke thought/
"Yes I am talking about that little demon." Sasuke said walking up to the boy who seemed to wince when he said demon.
"She wouldn't do anything like that, would you girl?" Naruto asked the fox in his arms. He held the creature up to his face. It just looked at him with its big green eyes then it liked his nose.
And Naruto just giggled.
"You keep that thing as a pet? What is it a fox?" Sasuke asked bluntly
"You keep your hair in the shape of a ducks butt? Or is that natural?" Naruto shot back.
He got pwned. (Hahahaha not sure if I did that right...damn...)
'Stupid dobe.; Sasuke thought, as he took in the sight of his new roommate, and the person that he was going to be living with for, well forever.
