I apologise now for how short this chapter is! But i promise they do start to get longer :) Enjoy.
Chapter 3. Naru POV
"Get up." I pull the covers over my head.
"No." I feel Itachi grab the quilt to pull it away but I pull back, making him pull harder before I just let go and snigger as I hear him hit the floor. I look at my bedside table... "Wahh, Itachi! It's only nine! Give me that quilt back." Before I can grab it, he stands up and takes it with him into the living room. I growl and launch after him. "Uchiha! Give. It. Back." I watch as he strips the cover sheet off it and put it in the washer with my mattress sheet and pillow case... "Hey! When did you get them!"
"While you were asleep and oblivious to the world." I stick my tongue out and turn to see someone sitting on my couch.
"What's he doing here?" I point at the 'mini-me' version of my best friend. He glares at me but has a hint of red in his cheeks...
"Father asked me to keep an eye on him. He's supposed to be grounded but there's no one home to make sure he stays there." He turns to look at me and sighs. "Naruko, will you please put some clothes on?" I look down at myself, must have stripped off during the night, and see I'm only in my underwear. Whoops.
"Why should I? This is my home, you don't like it, get out. And you," I point at squirt again, "stop staring, I'm sure you've seen a half naked woman before." And even though I say that, I run back into my room to get changed. I hear whispers and what sounds like Itachi hitting his brother. What a satisfying sound, the little pervert that he is. He can only be like fourteen or something surely. I come back out dressed in shorts and a vest top grumbling about perverts.
"Your boss rang. Said you can have today off." I boil the kettle and grab some ramen down from the noodle cupboard, all whilst ignoring him. "You're not eating that for breakfast." I pour the water and noodles into a bowl and stir them round, waiting for them to soften.
"Watch me."
"That's not healthy for you."
"See if I care," I mumble while slurping the noodles. I look over at squirt and narrow my eyes at him. "Is he still here?" I hear Itachi sigh as he goes to sit with his brother. I follow and sit opposite in my bean bag.
"I told you. Father..." I wave my hand at him before continuing to eat.
"Yeah yeah, I know that bit. But why is he here? Couldn't you have gone home to babysit him? My apartment ain't for children."
"I'm not a child." I take my turn to glare at him, while he does the same back.
"Sure ya not, kiddo. You're like, what, twelve?" I watch in satisfaction as his faces turns red in anger. Oh how I love to push an Uchiha's buttons...
"I'm fifteen, you idiot." I finish the rest of my noodles and put the bowl in the sink. I watch Itachi's eyes follow me and then stare at the sink. Clean freak.
"Sure you are, squirt." I put my trainers on before stretching my arms up.
"Uzumaki." I hate how he can say one word in a certain tone and I know what he means.
"I'm going for a run. Be gone when I get back, okay."
"You've got assignments to do." Ah crap. I edge towards the door and unlock it. Before I can open it fully, he's in front of me and it's closed. That's my chance gone. He points towards my backpack.
"You're an ass."
"And you've got a big one." I look up at him and frown.
"I hate you." He ushers me towards the kitchen table and brings me my bag.
"Love you too. Get to work." I sigh but smile as he walks away. I wouldn't even be at Uni if it wasn't for him always pushing me to make sure I wasn't slacking. I pull my stuff out and set to work, good job Boss cancelled, this might take a while...
