---Naruto's POV---

My sweet sixteenth birthday. Shouldn't all birthdays be sweet? Why should sixteen be any sweeter? It seemed like a lot of hype to me!

In Konoha, they celebrate today, my sixteenth birthday, as any other day.

It all started with Konohamaru's shouting at me. "Get up Naruto. You don't want to be late. It's time for school!"

How could two kids come from the same parents and be so different? Then again my "dad" is my brother….and my "mom" would legally be consider my aunt…but still! In Konohamaru's case Kushina must have had an affair with a librarian.

---End Naruto's POV---

Naruto dragged himself out of bed and put on a black sleeveless shirt black, ripped jeans, and black hiking boots, and outlined his eyes with black eyeliner.

Two white flowered cakes, one with the shape of a 1 and the other in the shape of a 6, awaited him on the kitchen table.

He grazed the 6 cake with his index finger and licked of the icing.

"Happy birthday!" my mom said, kissing me. "That's for tonight, but you can have this now," she said handing him a package.

"Happy birthday, Naru" Minato said, also giving him a hug.

"I bet you have no idea what you're giving me," Naruto said teasing Minato as he held the package.

"No. But I'm sure it cost a lot."

Naruto shook the light package in his hand and heard rattle. He stared at the Happy Birthday wrapping paper. 'It could be the keys to a car-my very own Batmobil' he thought. After all, it was his sixteenth birthday.

"I wanted to buy you something special," my mom, said smiling.

Naruto ripped the package opened excitedly and lifter the jewelry box lid. A string oh shiny white pearls stared back at him. 'Okay…I know I'm gay and all, but seriously pearl…?' he though.

"Every shota should have a pearl necklace for special occasions" his mom gleamed.

This was his mom's corporate version of hippie beads. He forced a crooked smile trying to hide his disappointment. "Thanks," he said, hugging them both. Naruto began to put the necklace back in the box, but both Kushina and Minato glared at him, so he reluctantly modeled it for them.

"It looks gorgeous on you." His mom glowed.

"I'll save them for something really special," he replied, putting them back in the box.

The doorbell rang and Deidara came in with a small black gift bag.

"Happy birthday un!" he shouted as we went into the living room

"Thanks. You didn't have to get me anything"

"You say that every year un," he teased and handed Naruto the bag. "By the way, I saw a moving van last night outside the mansion un!" he whispered

"No way! Someone finally moved in?"

"Guess so un. But all I was were the movers carrying in oak desk, grandfather clocks, and huge crates marked 'Soil.' And they have a teenage son un."

"He was probably born wearing khaki pants. And I'm sure his parents are some boring Ivy leaguers," Naruto replied. "I hope they don't remodel it and chase out all the spiders."

"Yeah. And tear down the gate and put up a white picket fence un"

"And a plastic goose on the front lawn"

They both giggled like mad as Naruto stuck his hand into the bag.

"I wanted to buy you something special, since you're sixteen un"

Naruto pulled out a black leather necklace with a pewter charm. The charm was a bat!

"I love it!" he screamed, putting it on.

Kushina leered at him from the kitchen.

"Next time we'll give her money," he heard her tell his brother.

"Pearls!" Naruto whispered to Deidara as they left the house.

Naruto was in gym class wearing a black shirt shorts, and combat boots instead of the required white on white and gym shoes. 'Really, what's the point?' he thought. Does white ensemble make a student a better athlete?

"Naruto, I don't feel like sending you to the office today. Why don't you just give me a break for once and wear what you're supposed to wear?" Asuma-sensei, the gym teacher, whined.

"It's my birthday. Maybe you should give me a break this once!"

He stared at Naruto, not knowing what to say. "Just today," he finally agreed. "And not because it's your birthday, but because I'm not in the mood to send you to the office"

Deidara and Naruto giggled as they went off towards the bleachers where class was waiting.

Sai, his kindergarten nemesis, and his shuffling sidekick, Akasuna no Sasori, followed us. They were perfectly combed, conservative, rich soccer AND art snobs but mostly soccer snobs. They knew they were great looking, and it made Naruto sick that they were so cocky.

"Sweet sixteen!" Sai said, obviously having overheard my chat with Asuma-sensei. "How lovely! Just ripe for love, don't you think, Sasori?"

"Yeah, dude," Sasori agreed.

"But maybe there's a reason he doesn't wear white-white is for virgins, right, Naruto?"

He was gorgeous, no doubt about it. His black eyes were beautiful, and his hair looked as perfect as a model's. He had a girl everyday of the week. He was a bad boy, but he was a rich bad boy, which made him very boring.

"Hey, I'm not the one wearing white underwear, am I?" Naruto asked. "You're right- there's a reason I wear black. Maybe you oughta get out more"

Deidara and Naruto sat on the far end of the bleachers, leaving Sai and Sasori standing on the track.

"So how are you spending your birthday?" Sai shouted, sitting with the rest of the class, loud enough for everyone to hear. "You and farmer Deidara sitting at home in a Friday night watching Friday the Thirteenth? Maybe place some personal ads? 'Sixteen year old single Japanese monster boy seeks mate to bond with for eternity'"

The whole classed laughed.

Naruto didn't like it when Sai teased him, but he liked it even less when he teased Deidara.

"No, we were thinking of crashing Sasori's party tonight. Otherwise there won't be anyone interesting there."

Everyone was shocked, and Deidara rolled his eyes, as if to say, What are you dragging me into now un? They had never been to one of Sasori's highly publicized parties. They were never invited, and they wouldn't have gone if they were. At least Naruto wouldn't.

The whole class waited for Sai's reaction.

"Sure you and Cyclops can come…but remember, we drink beer, not blood!" The whole class laughed again, and Sai high-fived Sasori.

Just then Asuma-sensei blew his whistle, signaling them to hightail it off the bleachers and run like greyhounds around the track.

But Deidara and Naruto walked, indifferent to their sweating classmates.

"We can't go to Sasori's party un," Deidara said. "Who knows what they'll do to us un?

"We'll see what they do. Or what we'll do. It's my sweet sixteenth, remember? A birthday to never forget!"
