A/N: I'm grounded from my computer, but someone reading this seems to be just like me… and I was afraid that they might have murdered me. So, I present you with the second chapter. :D
Naruto grabbed a craft knife and started to cut open the heavily taped box, until he cut something other than the box. He heard a sharp intake of breath, the muffled sobs being startled, stopping for a few seconds, and then becoming slightly louder than before. Naruto took the craft knife out of the box, and examined the blood on the end of it. Naruto shrugged, nothing unusual, so-
-wait, BLOOD?
Naruto ripped the rest of the box open, which proved harder than he thought it would be, making sure that he didn't hurt what was inside. And when he tore it open completely he opened the flaps to the box, and he's pretty sure they were both surprised to be looking at each other.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Naruto yelled, taking a step back from the box. The person in the box just stared at him, frozen with fear, and then burst out into tears. Naruto's eyes widened; he hated it when people cried, especially the people who looked like you could squeeze them to death, which was the case at this moment.
The person in the box was only wearing (and this fact made Naruto blush) white women's underwear, though they were obviously a boy. He had pale skin that appeared to be smooth, the skin tone contrasting beautifully with his obsidian eyes that were filled with tears and closed from fear at the moment and his raven black hair, which seemed to have a slight blue tint to it.
"Hey, don't cry…" Naruto said, arousing more tears from the poor boy. "Hey…" Naruto said, walking over to the box and taking him out of it. Naruto placed the boy on his lap, stroking the silk-like raven hair with a hand, caressing the boy's scalp softly, which seemed to calm him down. They just sit there for a while, Naruto stroking the boy's hair and the boy just sitting there, letting now almost silent sobs.
"Shh…" Naruto said softly, "What's your name? I'm Naruto." Naruto said softly to the boy. The boy didn't reply, only sat there and enjoyed the warmth Naruto was radiating onto him.
"Okay, you're not one of the talkative people…" Naruto said. The boy sat still, then tensed and pushed Naruto away.
"What was that for?" Naruto asked. The boy just started walking backwards, away from Naruto. He was clearly scared, which made Naruto sigh.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Naruto said, getting up and walking towards the boy. The boy only walked backwards faster, his back soon meeting a wall. The boy looked behind him in disbelief. A wall? Why right there? Where was he? Who was the boy walking closer to him? Was he going to hurt him? Tears stung the back of the boy's eyes.
Naruto sighed. This situation is going nowhere pretty fucking fast… Naruto thought, stopping about a foot in front of the boy. The boy only looked at him in fear, a single tear slipping out of the corner of the raven's eye. Naruto sighed yet again.
"Like I said, I'm not going to hurt you. There's nothing to worry about." Naruto said, stopping in his place. The boy began to relax, seeming to finally take the words in. Naruto smiled softly.
"I'm Sasuke." Sasuke said, looking off to the side.
"Huh?" Naruto asked. "Why bring that up?"
"Well… earlier you asked me who I was, Naruto…" Sasuke trailed off. Naruto made a face of realization.
"Oh. Yeah." Naruto said sheepishly.
"I need to get back home…"
"First you need to get dressed." Naruto said, blushing because of what Sasuke was wearing.
"I don't even know where I am…" Sasuke said, his voice quivering.
"You can wear this…" Naruto said, holding up a white dress shirt. "It's probably going to be too big for you…" Naruto said, holding it up to Sasuke.
"You don't even care, do you?" Sasuke accused Naruto.
"I do care, I know you're probably scared, but can you please put this on? You'll at least be covered more than you are right now…" Naruto said.
"Fine." Sasuke said, snapping the shirt out of Naruto's hands and putting it on. It was too big for him, just as Naruto had predicted; Sasuke had left one of the buttons (the top one) unbuttoned, so it exposed his shoulder, but it did cover his underwear, the shirt going down to about mid-thigh. Hey, it was better than nothing.
"Now will you listen to me?" Sasuke asked.
"I know, you don't know where you are and you want to go home." Naruto said, pacing around his room.
"Yeah, got it right. So, where am I? How do I get back home?" Sasuke asked.
"Look, I don't know where you live, but you're at my house." Naruto said.
"And where is your house?" Sasuke asked.
"We're in it." Naruto replied sarcastically.
"I mean-"
"I know what you mean." Naruto said, cutting Sasuke off. "I live in Konoha. Konohagakure, that is." Naruto said.
"Where? So… you don't live in America? So... your family isn't one of those families that just speak Japanese…?" Sasuke asked hesitantly, bracing himself for the answer.
"No, I don't live in America. We're in Japan." Naruto said, cocking his head to the side. Sasuke hit his head against the wall and groaned, the tears starting up again.
"Ah, no, don't cry!" Naruto pleaded.
"I'm so far away from home! I don't even know… I just- I- I… I can't do this…" Sasuke whispered the last part. They were both silent, the only sounds in the room were Sasuke's quiet sobs and the sound of the television in the living room, sometimes laughter that belonged to Nina and Nathan. Naruto sighed.
"I'll be back soon." Naruto said, walking out of the room to go to the bathroom.
"Naruto! It's dinner time! Come out here and eat before I get someone to eat it for you!" Rena called for Naruto.
"I'll come soon!" Naruto called back from the restroom.
Nina, being the impatient person she is, walked over to Naruto's room. Banging on the door, she said, "Naruto! Come out!" When Nina heard nothing in response, she opened the door and gasped. Sasuke looked over at her and froze.
"Uh… hi. Is… uh… is Naruto in here?" Nina asked Sasuke. Sasuke just stared at her in fear. Naruto rushed up behind Nina.
"NINA! How many times have I told you to knock first?" Naruto practically yelled at Nina.
"I did! You just didn't answer..." Nina said, turning back to Sasuke. "The explanation for that is?" Nina pointed at Sasuke.
"Nothing, Nina."
"Has she been climbing in through your window?" Nina gasped. "You guys don't…" Nina trailed off, looking at Naruto for an answer. She was rewarded with a dumbfounded stare. "What?" Nina asked.
"I-I… Naru…to?" Sasuke asked. Nina turned to look at Sasuke.
"That's a guy? Naruto, you're gay?" Nina asked Naruto in surprise.
"Nina, it's not like that." Naruto said, but Nina had run off towards the kitchen. Naruto sighed for the nth time that day. "Sasuke, stay here." Naruto instructed him. Sasuke sat down cross-legged, Naruto leaving the room.
Naruto entered the kitchen, Rena turning to him instantly. Nathan, Nina, and Rena were looking at Naruto expectantly. Naruto gulped.
"I can explain-"
"You didn't tell me you were gay." Nathan said. "That's what upsets me."
"It's not like that, guys!" Naruto whined. "You guys are all weird." Naruto muttered under his breath.
"Well, what was I supposed to think, I walk into your room and find a really pretty guy in only your dress shirt?" Nina said with a hand on her hip, as if the answer was obvious.
"He's wearing underwear." Naruto said.
"How would you know?" Nina asked.
"Because- well, that's beside the point!" Naruto said, waving the questions aside with his hand.
"Well, you better well fucking ex…." Rena trailed off, looking not at Naruto but behind him, her expression softening. "Why, hello." Rena greeted whoever was behind Naruto.
"Sasuke, I told you to stay." Naruto said, turning around on his heels.
"But… I… I smelled food, and I just… I'm hungry…" Sasuke said nervously, looking side to side with tears beginning to leave his eyes.
"Sasuke, don't cry…" Naruto said, walking over to him and wrapping an arm around Sasuke's shoulders.
"You can have some if you would like. We're eating onigiri." Rena said softly, smiling.
"C-can I really have some?" Sasuke asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Of course!" Rena said, walking over to get an extra plate for Sasuke. "By the way," Rena said, turning towards Sasuke. "How did you get here?" Rena asked.
"I… I don't know…" Sasuke said, looking to the side.
"How do you not know how you got here?" Rena asked Sasuke.
"It was just… dark and then, next thing I knew, I was here." Sasuke replied.
"You mean you were kidnapped?" Nathan asked.
"No, not at all. I just don't know." Sasuke replied.
"How do you not know? What do you remember, anyways?" Nina asked, jumping into the conversation.
"I…" Sasuke said, looking off to the side.
"...That doesn't really answer my question." Rena said.
"Rena, someone mailed him to me, I just don't know who." Naruto said.
"Well, look on the box and find out. But right now eat you two, you must be starving Sasuke." Rena said, handing Sasuke his plate.
"Thank you ma'am." Sasuke replied.
"Wow, such good manners. I wish some people would respect me like that." Rena said.
"Yeah, right, mom. In your dreams." Nina said, snorting.
"Eat your food." Naruto said, smashing her face into her food.
"Hey!" Nina said, laughing along with Naruto. Rena rolled her eyes.
"Hm… no return address…" Naruto said, examining the box.
"Look it." Sasuke said, handing Naruto a paper.
"Oh, yay. What's it say… Love is both a gift and a curse… seem at first… things get weary… feels dreary?" Naruto asked, skimming it and reading it out loud. "What the hell? They sent me you and a poem? Wow, talk about weird." Naruto said.
"Hm..." Sasuke said, looking over the poem. "Kaito talked in poems, usually." Sasuke said subconsciously.
"Argh… this doesn't make any sense." Naruto said, scratching his head in thought.
"There's something on the back." Sasuke said, lightly pulling the paper from Naruto's grasp and showing him the other side.
"All will make itself clear soon, but it may take several moons…." Naruto read aloud. "This guy has got some nerve." Naruto said, looking at Sasuke.
"Well, if it was Kaito that sent me, then it was for a good reason." Sasuke said thoughtfully.
"Better be a pretty damn good reason. Do you know if you were in some kind of trouble?" Naruto asked.
"Why do you want to know?" Sasuke asked back.
"Well, if I knew then maybe we could get you out of the mess." Naruto suggested.
"All I know was that I was deadly ill. I'm not really now, now that I mention it." Sasuke said, scratching his head.
"Hmm, strange." Naruto said, nodding his head. "Well, I'll register this all tonight and panic in the morning. But, for now, we shall rest. Please object now or forever hold your peace." Naruto said, plopping down onto the floor with an extra pillow and blanket off his bed.
"You're sleeping on the floor?" Sasuke asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Well, yeah. I'm not the one who's been in a box for who knows how long?" Naruto said.
"Fine." Sasuke said, crawling up onto the bed.
"G'night, S'uke." Naruto mumbled, already drifting off to sleep.
"Night, dobe."
Love is both a gift and a curse; it may be good at first…
A/N: I'm tired and my brain is dead. Sleep sounds amazing right now, especially after Karate! Sorry for the short chapters, they should increase in size soon enough…
…enough…
