Hey guys! I'm back with another Chapter c: and I never realized this one turned out to be long o.o I hope you enjoy and please remember to review!
Chapter 2
They drove in silence for what seemed like hours. Well, to Naruto it did. He hated the silence. The blonde fidgeted in his seat, staring out the window. "Are we almost there yet?" He groaned turning to the raven.
Sasuke's eyes flickered to the blonde then looked back at the road. "Hn. We will be there on the next turn." Sasuke replied.
Naruto sighed going back to looking out the window. The rain had stopped, leaving only gray clouds in the sky. They were on the outskirts of town, on the side he's never been. Naruto was curious to where Sasuke lived and he will soon be able to find out. They rounded the corner and Naruto sat up straight, eyes wide as he looked at what lay before him. A huge mansion stood surrounded by a forest of trees. A long gravel road led to the house from the iron gates they had just halted at.
"This is YOUR place?!" Naruto said in astonishment.
"Hn" The other teen replied as he rolled down the window. A security guard walked out from the small building near the gate. He stood in front of the window and leaned down looking into the car.
"Hello Mr. Sasuke. I'll open up the gate right away." He gave both teens a smile and walked back to the building.
The iron gates slowly opened and Sasuke drove forward. The car came to a halt in front of the house and Sasuke got out. He closed the door and leaned his down to look at the blonde through the window.
"You coming, dobe?" He said before straightening up and slowly started to walk towards the mansion.
Naruto grabbed his backpack from the backseat and hopped out of the car, following the Uchiha to the mansion. Sasuke glanced at the blonde and sighed, then opened up the door.
"We're home!" Sasuke yelled as he stepped inside.
Naruto gawked as he inspected the mansion. Everything was so...elegant. Red and black everywhere. It was sort of... Gothic looking. Sasuke noticed Naruto gawking at the house and chuckled to himself.
"Yeah my parents like the Gothic look if you haven't noticed." He said nodding his head to the house.
"No kidding..." Naruto mumbled "Hey! Are there gargoyles?" He said excitedly.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "No, dobe."
"It was just a question, teme!"
"Now, now boys."
Naruto turned to face where the voice came from. There stood a woman with long black hair. Her dark eyes smiled brightly as she looked at them. She wore a dark green dress that hugged her body nicely.
"Hi mom" Sasuke said smiling at the woman.
"Hi sweetie" she said smiling back. She turned to face Naruto smiling. "Is this the young man you've been talking about?" She asked giving Naruto a smile.
...he's been talking about me?
"Mom..." Sasuke growled giving Naruto a quick glance.
"The name's Naruto Uzumaki, believe it!" Naruto said smiling widely at Sasuke's mom.
"Just call me Mikoto." She said giggling.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and grabbed Naruto's arm. "We'll be in my room, Mom." He said over his shoulder.
"Ok sweetie! Dinner will be ready in an hour."
"Hn" Sasuke said before they walked up the stairs.
"Your mom is nice!" Naruto said cheerily, his arms behind his head.
"Yeah she's pretty amazing...my dad is another story." Sasuke said as they climbed the stairs.
"Hm well I'll still like to meet him!" Naruto said smiling.
Sasuke rolled his eyes at the blonde, yet still amused by him. They finished climbing the flight of stairs and walked down a hallway seemed to go on forever.
"Damn! How big is this house?"
"About 18,000 square feet. Nothing big."
Naruto stopped, his jaw dropping. "Nothing big?! Dude! My apartment is like...umm...less than that but still! This place is huge!" Naruto said emphasizing how big it was with his arms.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and chuckled. "You live in an apartment? By yourself?" He asked questioningly.
The blonde rubbed the back of his head looking at the ground. "Umm yeah kinda, it's...a long story. Anyways let's go work on that essay!" Naruto said quickly changing the subject.
Sasuke looked at the blonde curiously but shrugged off the quick change in subject. Naruto would tell him when he was ready. Sasuke lead Naruto to his room, the last one in the long hallway. He opened it up casually walking in and sat on his bed. Naruto slowly walked in, taking in his surroundings. Just like the rest of the house, the room was clad with red and black.
Looks like all Uchiha's like Gothic stuff...
A small dark desk with matching chair stood on the other side of the room. The bed Sasuke was sitting on stood right next to the desk and a small wall shelf right next to said bed. A set of doors lead out to a small balcony that over looked the property.
"A balcony? Really? You want to be Juliet or something?" Naruto said laughing.
"Then would you like to be my Romeo?" Sasuke said grinning. Naruto stopped laughing and stared at the Uchiha confused.
"I'm just kidding, dobe. It's so I can sneak out of the house" He said smirking. Naruto started laughing again, Sasuke rolling his eyes. How much can this man laugh?
"So umm..." Naruto started after he finished his spout of laughter "What is this essay on again?" He finished looking at Sasuke sheepishly Sasuke sighed and walked over to the desk, sitting in the chair a flipping open a laptop.
"Did you not pay attention?" He finally said.
"Nope!" Naruto responded.
"Maybe if you payed attention you would get better grades, dobe."
"Shut up, teme! It's not because of that." Naruto stated as he sat down on the Uchiha's bed.
"Then what is it?" Sasuke questioned, facing the blonde with a raised eyebrow.
"Long story for another time...so what do we have to do for the essay?" Naruto persisted again.
Sasuke turned back to the laptop pulling up a Word Document."We have to spend a week with our partner and learn stuff we didn't know about them. Then we have to write about how we thought about the person before and after the time spent." Sasuke turned to face the blonde again, watching as he processed the information.
"Huh...so we have to tell each other about our deepest secrets?" Naruto said fidgeting I do know one of his already....
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "No. Anything about ourselves. In our case we can talk about our whole lives since we hardly know each other "
"And who's fault is that?" Naruto pouting and crossing his arms across his chest. He remembered that day like it was yesterday.
Flashback
Naruto quietly sat at the lunch table with his friends. His best friend, Kiba Inuzuka was flirting with a girl named Hinata Hyuga. Hinata was a pretty girl, just a little too quiet. She was shy, especially around Naruto and he never understood why. Naruto scanned the lunchroom until his eyes fell on a certain Uchiha, an Uchiha he just met hours before. Sasuke was sitting with a small group of people, a group that never really allowed people to sit with them...until today. Said group consisted of Karin, Jugo and Suigetsu. They weren't outcasts really, just different. They never talked to outsiders, so it was strange seeing Sasuke talking freely with them. Naruto stood up and casually walked over to the table. The group looked up at the blonde as he approached, only Sasuke seemed somewhat delighted that the blonde was coming.
"Hey Sasuke." Naruto said as he neared the table.
"Hey Naruto" Sasuke replied.
Karin turned to Sasuke after glaring at Naruto, sweeping her red hair behind her shoulders. "You know that outcast, Sasuke?" She said sneering.
"What do you want?" Suigetsu said glancing at Naruto.
"I'm just here to talk to Sasuke, sharky." Naruto spat at Suigetsu. Suigetsu sneered at the blonde, revealing the shark-like teeth.
Naruto turned to the red head and grinned"And I for one aren't an outcast."
"Our really blondy?" She said glaring at him.
Naruto rolled his eyes and focused his attention on the Uchiha. "Anyways, are you fitting in well?" He asked
"What do you think, dobe? Now leave me alone." Sasuke said sneering then turning his attention back to Karin. She smirked as she made the shooing motion with her hands. Naruto growled and stomped away. Was just trying to be nice,asshole.
End Flashback
Sasuke sighed and turned to him. "Yeah that was a one time mistake. Let's just move on from that moment, 'kay?"
Naruto stuck out his tongue at the Uchiha. "Fine then you start. Tell me something I don't know." Naruto said crossing his legs on the bed and laying his head on his palm, staring at Sasuke.
The Uchiha tapped his pencil against the desk, thinking of what he could say. "Well I don't have much family left. Just my parents, brother, and I." He finally said. Naruto looked at him.
"You have a brother?" He asked.
Sasuke nodded his head. "Yea, he's barely home though, just like my dad. The only time I see them is during dinner and...well that's about it." He said shrugging.
Naruto looked at Sasuke sympathetically "That sucks...what is your brother like?" Naruto questioned.
"He's really cool." Sasuke replied "He looks out for me all the time. He helps me study and practice for games."
"The amazing Sasuke needs help to study?!" Naruto gasped.
Sasuke looked at him through the corner of his eyes. "Dobe, that's how I actually ace the tests."
"Teme..." Naruto mumbled as he crossed his arms. "So what about your dad?"
Sasuke stopped tapping his pencil on the desk, the room filling with silence. "I don't really consider him a dad..." He said finally.
"Why?"
"He's always looked at me as a failure." He responded slowly. "He ignored me and treated me like crap. Even when I would get straight A's...it was like I was nothing to him." He finished looking out the small window above this desk, sighing. Naruto scratched his head.
"I'm sorry dude...there's nothing I could really say to help you, I don't even know my own parents." He said shrugging.
Sasuke turned to face the blonde. "You don't even know them?" He asked quietly.
Naruto laughed sadly looking at the Uchiha then shrugged. "Yeah, they went missing a day after I was born. I was put into the care of my Godfather Jirayia and well...he went missing about a month after I was put into his care. Ever since then I've been staying with Iruka-sensei."
"Our Math tacher?"
"Yeah"
Sasuke nodded. It made sense, Iruka-sensei would always talk to Naruto like he was his own kid. It was kind of sad, thinking that this full of energy and always happy kid didn't even know his own parents, Sasuke felt sorry for the blonde. Naruto sat in silence for a minute before looking up and giving Sasuke a big smile.
"But I believe that they will come back! Something must of happened and they just can't get back. Right?"
Sasuke smiled slightly and nodded his head. "I'm sure they will come back, Naruto."
Naruto grinned staring at the Uchiha.
"What?" Sasuke said looking at the blonde.
"You finally called me by my name and not dobe!" He said grinning widely. Sasuke rolled his eyes and turned to the laptop to start their essay.
