"Do you know the reason why you're here with me?" Kamatsu asked as she glared down at the 5 year old blond.

"Because my parents died and the Hokage asked you to take me in?" The blond boy said.

SLAP

"No! Because I decided to take care of little pitiful you. I wish I hadn't but I cant go changing the past now can I?" She asked as she stood over the crying boy. "Oh dry up your tears. Go to your room I don't want to see your ugly face! GO!"

Little Naruto ran to his room and hid under his blankets and continued to cry. He cried and cried until he fell asleep.


Naru woke up screaming. She sat up as her door was thrown open. She screamed as the shadow person came toward her. Naru still thinking that she was 5 years old hid under her blanket and continued to scream.

"No Kamatsu! I'm Sorry!" She screamed.

The blankets were removed from on top of her and was pulled into a chest. Naru tried to get away but Sasuke's voice in her ear calmed her. Naru just sat there being held by Sasuke quietly crying. Sasuke sighed as he felt Naru calm down and rubbed circles in her back. Sasuke pulled away from Naru a little and looked at her.

"Naru are you ok?" He asked.

Naru looked at him and wiped her tears away. "Y-yes I'm sorry Sasuke. I guess I had a nightmare."

"Who's Kamatsu? Wasn't that the women that had taken care of you when you were little?" Sasuke asked.

"If that's what you want to call it." Naru said looking away from him.

"What do you mean?……..OH……" Sasuke said as he remembered what he had heard when he was little in the academy. "I'm sorry Naru…"

"Please don't. It was my fault she did what she did. I could never do anything right." Naru said.

"No your wrong. You do plenty of things right." Sasuke said.

"Your just saying that." Naru said looking away again.

Sasuke grabbed Naru's chin and made her look at him. "You know I don't just say things. I never lie. Even if the truth hurts I tell it like it is."

Naru smiled at him. "Thank you Sasuke."

Sasuke smiled back at her. "That's what I'm here for." Sasuke got up and walked towards the door and looked at Naru. "Do you want to sleep in my room tonight?"

"Wow you like to make your moves fast don't chya?" Naru asked.

"Ok fine sleep in here alone." Sasuke said as he started walking toward he room.

"W-wait for me jerk!" Naru said as she grabbed her pillows and ran after him.


Naru and Sasuke were walking in town on their way to the store to buy some food , and ramen, when they saw Sakura and Ino.

"Sakura, Ino." Naru said as they caught up with Ino and Sakura.

"Oh hay Naru, Sasuke. What are you two up to?" Ino said.

"We have to go buy some food." Sasuke said.

"And ramen." Naruto piped up and said.

The girls both giggled.

"We're on our way there too. Sakura needs some….. Um… girl stuff." Ino said.

Naru tilted her head to the side. "Girl stuff?"

All three looked at her. Crap…

"The girls didn't tell you about a girls period did they?" Sasuke said.

"What's a girls period?" Naru asked.

Sasuke looked at the blushing girls. "Um… you guys tell her I'm going to go buy some stuff in the store…" Sasuke said as he walked toward the store. Just as he reached the door he heard…

"WHAT!? EW! HOW DO YOU KEEP FROM BLEEDING TO DEATH!?"


Naru looked in the bag she was carrying that was full of……girl things… and sighed. Ino and Sakura had took her into the bathroom at the store and showed her what to do, and Naru couldn't stop blushing about what she had to do. Sasuke looked down at the blushing blond.

"Is it really that bad?" He asked.

"You have no idea." Naru mumbled.

Sasuke just chuckled and opened the door to his mansion for Naru. Naru and Sasuke put the food away and Naru went to her room to go put her girl stuffs in her bathroom when her door wouldn't open.

"Uh Sasuke could you come here please?" She yelled down the stairs at Sasuke.

Sasuke came up the stairs and looked at Naru. "What's wrong?"

"My door's stuck or something and I cant get in." She said.

Sasuke tried to open the door. Something's blocking it… Sasuke pushed harder and ended up kicking it causing the door to fall down. They both looked in and Naru gasped. Her room was trashed and the window was busted. Sasuke moved Naru behind him and walked in some. All of Naru's clothes was all over the room and the bed was flipped over. Sasuke then felt a familiar chakra and moved Naru out of the room.

"What is it Sasuke?" Naru asked.

"Itachi was here." Sasuke said still looking in the room.

"What do I do now? Do you want me to go live some where else?" Naru asked.

Sasuke looked at her with soft eyes. " No I don't want you to go live somewhere else. Your just going to have to move into my room with me. Hope you don't mind."

Naru blushed. "No I-I don't mind."

"Good. I'll go in and get your things from in here and you can move them into my room." He said as he walked into her room.


She had just finished putting her stuff away when she fell backwards onto the bed and closed her eyes.

"Tired?" Sasuke asked as he walked into the room and looked at her.

"Not really just resting my feet." She said as she sat up.

"Good cause I brought some food." He said as he sat down a tray with sandwiches on it.

Sasuke handed her one and grabbed one himself. They ate in silence for a while.

"Sasuke-kun?" Naru asked.

"Hai?" He replied.

"Are you sure you don't mind me staying in your room? Because I could sleep in the livin-"

"Naru I don't mind. I like your company." Sasuke said as he cut her off.

Naru smiled and laid her head on Sasuke's shoulder and continued eating. Sasuke smiled down at her and he too started eating again. So Itachi's after Naru? NO he cant have her!


Itachi moves out of the tree he was sitting in and walks off into the woods once again. Why does Sasuke have to make things so difficult. Why cant he just hand her over?


(A/N: Sorry it took so long!)
