Sasuke's POV

Laptop, PS3, Iphone 4s, 42 inch flat screen TV, and a car. I gawked at the older man. He brought all these things for me. Not to mention, aren't I a bit too young to be driving?

After all, Christmas was right around the corner. Besides, I needed a new laptop so that made me happy but the other stuff… was probably unnecessary.

"Kakashi, this-"

"And I'm not done yet!"

"….."

Next thing I knew, I was blindfolded. I could hear Kakashi running around our apartment, murmuring to himself. I was beginning to think that this was a way for Kakashi to keep me occupied what I was set on finding information about my clan. My plan was to go look for that blond kid, Naruto. As much as I didn't want to go to that person, I couldn't think of anyone else. He seem to know about me and would probably tell me the truth.

"No matter what, don't take off the blindfold." Kakashi said, sounding out of breath. I was starting to grow impatient; standing here that felt like years had passed.

"Kakashi-"

"No matter what."

I folded my arms and tapped my feet against the carpet floor, showing how irritated I was. I had things to do. Like, finding that blond!

I sensed Kakashi's movement come to a stop, now standing in front of me by the sounds of his breathing. He placed something down in front of me. I knew this by how fast he stood up as the air touched my skin. Like how you pass by a person, you feel the air touch you.

"You can look now."

I jerked the damn band off my face, almost ripping it. I looked at Kakashi and then down to what was situated. It was a container, wrapped and shaped like a rectangle, poked with holes. Something was in there.

"Please don't tell me you got me-"

"A dog? Then I won't tell you."

Okay, neither of us aren't allergic to dogs. Better than cats, I think. Most boys around my age would be ecstatic however, I'm not like most boys. I do have short-term memory loss.

"I don't want it."

Kakashi commence to tear open the enclosure. "Then I'll keep it."

I heard whimpering sounds that I didn't hear before when Kakashi brought it in. I guess it was sleeping or something. It was scratching the container, longing to get out. Kakashi finally got it open and a petite puppy jumped out of the container.

"His name is Shitzu"

Right then, I was very close to dropping myself down to the floor and having a hysteric fit but I kept my composure.

"You named it after it's own breed?"

"Yep."

"How clever." I said, sarcastically.

I watched Kakashi held out his hand to the mongrel, wagging it's little tail. It licked Kakashi fingers. Once getting familiar with its owner, it started nibbling each digit.

"Why do have a puppy?"

"I thought it'll make this place more lively. Moreover, I like dogs. It's trained so you don't have to worry about Shitzu tearing your stuff, peeing on your bed, etc. However, you do have help me feed it and take it out for a walk." Kakashi turned his head and smiled at me.

Whatever.

"By the way, am I driving the car?"

"It's for me."

Of course.


"Mind if I go out for abit?"

"You don't want to play video games?"

"Not really."

"Play with your phone?"

"I can do that later."

"…clean your room?"

"You don't want me to go out do you?"

"No."

I sighed. Ok, I guess he wasn't born yesterday. He gave me the impression that he knew what I was going to do.

"Why?"

"Remember last time?"

"What? Oh, you mean me coming home late? It won't happen again."

"I want you home EXACTLY by 10."

I closed the door behind me and couldn't help but smile to myself.


I perambulated, traversing the crowed people in the village, looking for the blond. I had no idea where he could be so I had to ask a few teachers. None of them had knew where blonde was. I was about to give up until someone named Iruka told me where he was. It was strange. He didn't act like the other people here who looked at me like… I was someone to be pitied on, someone who… had bad luck, or contagious. That's what people saw me as. Contagious. You talk to me and you automatically will have bad luck for the first of your life. Heh. In other words, he was the same as Kakashi.

Iruka directed me to this apartment where the blond lived and left me standing alone, outside the apartment building. Walking up the stairs, I heard a loud thud, which sounded oddly familiar…

I knocked on the door, just loud enough for the person inside to hear.
I watched the door open slowly while it made a squeaky sound. The room was dark. I wasn't sure if I should go in or not. I'm not afraid of the dark or anything. it's just… it's rude to go in unannounced isn't it?

"Sasuke?"

I almost jumped out of underwear when I heard my name. This was creepy. I couldn't even see his face in the dark.

"What are you doing here?"

"I… um, wanted to ask you some questions. Can you turn on the lights?"

The lights flickered on and I could see him now, wearing his pajamas and looking rather weary.

"Naruto, right?" The blond open the door wider to allow my entry and closed the door. "Yeah."
I scanned around the flat. Books and wall scrolls were scattered everywhere.

"So you remember me?" Naruto said, sounding enthusiastic.

"No."

Naruto frowned at me and sat down on his single size mattress.

"So what do you want to know?"
