Chapter Three: Missing?

I awoke to birds chirping outside my window I rolled over to look at my clock

"Humph, 8'am... Oh well better get up I have to go meet Shikamaru and Kiba in town..." I said as I climbed out of bed and walked over to my shower. I turn the water on and adjust to how I like it I then take off my shirt and turn to the mirror I look at my reflection and feel a little sick, I never liked the way I looked with this giant birth mark on my stomach I then place my right hand over it and sigh I then move my hands to my shorts to take them off I then step into the shower sliding the glass screen closed behind me.

As I step out the front door I close it behind me and lock it I then place the key in my jeans pocket, I then started walking down the street towards the centre of town; I was wearing dark blue jeans, a flannel shirt and a red beanie, then my pocket vibrated I reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone out and flipped it open, I had one new message from Sasuke I opened it and it said

'Hello Naru-chan how are you this morning? What are you doing?' even though it was a text I could hear his flirty voice in my head I blushed a little and walked across the road, I then replied

'Hey Sasuke yeah, it's okay so far I'm going to meet Shikamaru and Kiba in town, you?' and hit send I closed my phone and kept walking I made my way to a corner shop and walked in I then grabbed a packet of gum and walked to the counter placing the money on the counter I then got another text I opened my phone once more to read it

'Aww that sounds nice I hope you have fun. Me? Well I'm working' I then replied 'Thanks, where do you work? I'll swing by and talk to you when I'm done' hitting send as I walked out of the putting a piece of gum into my mouth, I kept walking down the street and arrived at the bar seeing Kiba and Shikamaru sitting at the bar talking their heads off I smiled a little at my friends, my phone then vibrates again I flip it open once more and read the text

'I work at the childcare centre a few blocks down from the bar see you soon. Xoxoxo' I blushed a little at the last part but replied

'Okay see you in a little bit' then hitting send and then joining Shikamaru and Kiba at the bar,

"Hey Naruto why you here so late?" Shikamaru asked taking a drink now.

"Who were you texting? Your new girlfriend?" Kiba teased eating a peanut,

"No one..." I said ordering a drink.

I only had two drinks knowing I was going to leave early to meet Sasuke but Shikamaru and Kiba had four or more.

"Well I'm off, cya guys" I said and then stood up

"Mmm cya Naruto" Kiba said as he was drawing on a sleeping Shikamaru's face, I laughed to myself and walked out the door I then took out my phone to check for messages.

"Nothing..." I said slightly disappointed and started walking to the day-care centre. When I got there I knocked on the door then someone came after a minute or two

"Hello?" she asked I looked at her face seeing many freckles her long red hair down past her shoulders

"Umm is Sasuke there?" I asked

"Hmm? Sasuke... Yeah he was but I don't know where he went it's like he's gone missing" she told me.

"Thank you..." I said and turned around to leave I heard the door close and at that moment I felt really sad guess I was wanting to meet him more then what I thought, as I was walking back home it started raining but I barely noticed it. I felt like I wanted to cry.

I reached home opened the door and slammed it closed behind me I then continued to my room and flopped onto my bed grabbed my diary out from under my pillow opened it and wrote:

Saturday December 11th 2007

Signed Naruto Uzumaki

I closed it and one tear ran down my face as I fell asleep.
