Naruto & Suzuka chapter 5: First date?
Naruto's P.O.V.
My new life here is way better than my previous. Coming to Tokyo, going to a Tokyo high school, making friends that I can trust, gaining a family that cares about me. And having a crush with the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Yep my life is way better than before… that's if I didn't have to deal with problems like these every day.
"Geez everyday you're like this!" Suzuka said to Yamato was under Megumi. I swear if I didn't know any better I would say Megumi and Yamato were meant to be together. For some odd reason Megumi's breasts always lands on Yamato's face.
"Geez what's the problem now?" I say causing everyone to jump from my presence.
"Ni-ni! Saotome-san and Matsumoto-san are being perverts again!" Miho shouted.
"What are you talking about I'm trying to get rich here." Yuka said. I only sighed.
"Megumi get off of Yamato. And Yuka unless you want me to make you go bankrupt again I suggest you stop blackmailing Yamato." I said getting a grumble from Yuka. Miho looked happy at that. And Megumi was getting up and yamato was closing his eyes. Everything was normal until I saw Suzuka stare at me.
"What do I have something on my face?" I asked confused. Suzuka quickly shook her head.
"No! It's just what do you mean bankrupt Yuka-san?" Suzuka asked. I was about to answer when Miho interrupted.
"Ni-ni is an awesome poker player! He's never lost to anyone unless he wants to!" Miho said.
"Yeah made me lose all the money I got from Len-kun." Yuka grumbled.
"Hey you took the money he was going to spend on a new computer." I said defensively.
"You gamble?" Suzuka asked with a hint of curiosity and a hint of anger.
"Not exactly." I said nervously.
"The gaki is just lucky. He still doesn't know the rules to poker." Yuka said getting more angry that she always lost to an amateur.
"Yeah, that. I'm just too lucky." I said.
"Can you rub some of that luck on me?" Yamato said with anime tears coming down his face.
"I would if I knew how." I said chuckling.
"By the way Ni-ni what are you doing here so early? Aren't you usually at the forest in the outskirts of the area?" Miho asks me.
"Oh yeah came back early Kaa-san called me back early saying she needed my help. Now I can see why." I said chuckling.
"PERVERT!" One of the women that was in the bath house screamed.
"Wha?" I asked before a wooden bucked hit my head.
"GET OUT PERVERT!" When suddenly a large mob of females started throwing things at me.
"Hey you got it all wrong! I'm not even interested at you!" I yelled which only gave me more trouble.
"What are you saying? Are you saying we're not attractive?!" One of the women said and I ran to the exit to get away. Before leaving I saw Yuka, Megumi and Miho laugh. Yamato was hiding in the control room. And Suzuka just staring like she didn't care. Then I remembered she's the kind of person that hates carelessness and prefers perfection. The complete opposite of me. Even though sometimes I act like I have everything under control I still act like a goofball and make a lot mistakes unlike her who always has a serious look on her face and never seems to smile until that time when she unofficially broke her high jumping record. For a ninja like me she is my worst enemy because it's hard to guess her thoughts.
At dinner
"Aunt Ayano's cooking is really awesome! I never dreamed that I would get free food in Tokyo!"Yamato yelled.
"Yamato-kun eat with your mouth closed." Ayano said.
"Onii-chan there's rice on your face." Miho said as she got a napkin and cleaned Yamato's face.
"Sorry for this. Making the land lady cook dinner for us." Suzuka said.
"Don't worry you three are still in high school, so you couldn't cook for yourself right? Especially Yamato and Naruto-kun." Ayano said.
"Huh?" Both Yamato and I said.
"Yamato you would make a huge mess of everything and Naruto-kun all you would be eating ramen." Ayano said.
"That's not true/true!" Yamato and I yell respectively everyone looked at me.
"What? It's true I would only eat ramen. I've eaten nothing but ramen ever since I was 4 years old." I said.
"A normal person would be dead with all that sodium in your system." Suzuka said.
"Well I'm not normal then." I said.
"That's true. I've never met an irritating gaki in all my years." Kyuubi said.
"Shut up furball." I said not realizing that I said it out loud.
"What did you say?" Yamato asked.
"Nothing! Just talking to myself again." I said.
"Weirdo." Suzuka said.
"Hey!" I yelled.
"Stop fighting don't you guys want to eat?" Miho asked.
"Of course I do!" I yelled grabbing everything my plate could hold.
"oh you guys are starting high school the day after tomorrow right? I almost forgot we need to celebrate for you two moving in and getting into high school. I'll cook you a table of delicious food. " Ayano said.
"That's really embarrassing." Suzuka said.
"Don't worry we did this for Megumi and Saotome before. But I'll be busy tomorrow. I'm sorry to say this but Naruto and Suzuka could you two go shopping for me?" Ayano asked.
"Ehhh you want the two of us to go?!" Suzuka yelled.
"I want to go too!" Miho yelled.
"Miho you can't go you have school tomorrow. And sorry Suzuka-chan but I don't trust Yamato going around for a while and Naruto-kun is the only one that knows the place and he can carry a lot of bags." Ayano said.
"Sure I'll go./ but what happened to the stuff I bought last week?" I asked.
"Miho-chan ate the cake you bought and everything else was finished." Ayano said.
"Well I don't mind as long as Asahina-chan doesn't." I said as I looked at Suzuka.
"I don't mind." Suzuka said.
Next morning & Normal P.O.V.
Suzuka was in front of Naruto's door repeatedly pushing the buzzer. It was cold and Suzuka was shivering.
"Geez what is that guy doing? Hey Naruto wake up!" Suzuka yelled.
"You know you don't need to yell so much I'm awake you know." Naruto said coming up the stairs scaring Suzuka in the process.
"W-what? Weren't you in your room?" Suzuka yelled.
"No, I went for a morning walk. Anyway let's go." Naruto said.
"Are you sure you don't want to change before we go. It is cold." Suzuka said as she noticed that Naruto was in a Orange shirt with the kanji fox in the front and wearing black jeans and… slippers!
"Don't worry I'm not cold." Naruto said grinning.
"Don't give me that! Just go inside and change!" Suzuka yelled.
"Sheesh bossy much." Naruto said but then shuts up after looking at the glare Suzuka was giving him. So he sighs and gets something that's appropriate. Once he did they left not talking to each other let alone glance at each other.
"You better guide me properly I don't know this city very well." Suzuka said as she walked ahead of Naruto.
"Hai, hai as you wish mistress." Naruto made a fake bow before dodging a punch from Suzuka.
"Haha calm down Asahina-chan."Naruto said laughing.
"This is area has a relaxing sensation don't you think?" Naruto asked looking at the old street.
"Is that so? I don't realize it." Suzuka said.
"Oh come don't be like that. This old street gives people a good feeling right?" Naruto said.
"Really? The street is dirty and is crowed. It makes it hard for me to breathe." Suzuka said in an uninterested tone.
"Really?" Naruto asked.
"Enough let's hurry up with the shopping and go home." Suzuka said.
"Oh yeah the land lady asked us to buy some day-to-say items. Let's go buy them first since the stores are closers." Suzuka said in happy tone as she got on the escalator in the mall.
"Hey wait! Seriously just a minute ago she hated the idea. Now she's seems to be enjoying it." Naruto said the last part in a whisper. But then his eyes went wide as he looked up he saw a little bit of Suzuka's underwear.
'OHHHH!'
"OHHHH! NICE!"
Suzuka turned around. "What is it?" Suzuka asked confused.
"Nothing!" Naruto said. 'Lucky!' Naruto internally yelled.
"Weirdo." Suzuka deadpanned.
'If I told her I saw her panties she would kill me if that's even possible.' Naruto thought.
"Don't worry kit I won't let you die until we ravage her." Kyuubi said.
'SHUT UP ERO-KITSUNE!' Naruto yelled at the fox blushing madly.
Inside 100 yen store (I think the store was in Japanese with no translation.)
"So which one should we choose?" Suzuka asked while she held two toilet covers.
"Hmm that one is too small for the toilets in the dorm. And this one is the right size but I don't like the color scheme." Naruto said looking at the covers.
"Okay then how about this one?" Suzuka asked.
"Doesn't look comfy." Naruto said as he looked through other covers.
"You seem knowledgeable in this. Most guys would just say buy whatever and not care." Suzuka said
"Well kaa-san made it clear that if I didn't at least think about the dorm and its occupants then it would mean a whole day locked up in a room with a drunk Yuka and Megumi." Naruto said shuddering.
"Most guys would kill to be in that position." Suzuka said confused at his behavior.
"Yeah well I'm not like most guys. Once you know how terrible they are you won't want to be anywhere near them." Naruto said.
Three hours later
"Ahh seriously kaa-san most of the stuff we bought isn't going to be used." Naruto complained.
"Why do you care? She told us to buy it. Enough talking let's hurry up and go home this place is suffocating me." Suzuka said.
"Hey let me tell you something this place isn't bad as you may think it is." Naruto said.
"It's my tight to think how I want." Suzuka said.
"Then let me take you out to lunch. I know a place that serves really delicious food. Once you eat it your opinion will change!" Naruto said Suzuka looked at him and sighed.
… … … … … … … … … … … … …
"What do you mean he's in the hospital?!" Naruto shouted.
"Sorry Naruto-kun it seems accidently burnt his hand when turned on the stove today." the waitress of the restaurant said.
"But it's still open right?" Naruto asked.
"Sorry unless the chef comes back the store is closed." The waitress said Naruto slumped down.
"I'm going now." Suzuka said.
"Wait! There's another store that will change your mind! Please just one more store!" Naruto begged. Suzuka looked at his fox like face and couldn't help but say yes.
"Fine lead the way." Suzuka said.
"Yes! Thanks Asahina you won't regret this! TTEBAYO!" Naruto said.
… … … … … … … … … … … … …
"What do you mean you're closed for the week?!" Naruto yelled.
"Sorry Naruto-kun but after you came here to eat you finished all out stocks. It will take at least a week to get all the materials." The daughter of the restaurant said. Naruto was crushed he wanted to show Suzuka that Tokyo was a great city but all his attempts are going down the toilet.
"I'm going." Suzuka said.
"Wait there's another…" But Naruto was interrupted by Suzuka.
"No I hate this place especially this street!" Suzuka said running. Naruto ran after her now running beside her.
"Hey stop running! I swear the next place is great and they won't be closed I swear!" Naruto said.
"Geez don't follow me!" Suzuka said the she suddenly jumped over a sign. Naruto not noticing the sign tripped and dropped everything.
'Why is there a stupid sign there?!' Naruto inwardly yelled.
Suzuka stopped and looked back at Naruto and helped him pick up all the fallen items.
… … … … … … … … … … … … …
"Geez you're stubborn. We went to all the places you said all the restaurants were closed. If the restaurants were good then why were they all closed?" Suzuka said.
'Most of them closed because they didn't want me to finish all they're food. And some fake their injuries.' Naruto thought.
"AH! There's one place! Come with me!" Naruto said running forwards.
"Wa-wait where are you going Naruto? Enough let's just go home." Suzuka said.
"Come on! This place is great!" Naruto said and Suzuka followed him. Suzuka followed him until he stopped in front of what looked like an ice cream shop. The ice cream shop was on top of a hill. Naruto was standing there for awhile until he got two popsicles. Naruto turned to Suzuka and motioned her to follow him to the edge of the hill. There he dropped the groceries on the bench and gave Suzuka a popsicle.
"Here! This is one of the most popular flavors they have." Naruto said.
"It's the middle of fall. Who eats ice cream right now?" Suzuka asked.
"Everyone here does. This shop is one of the best ice cream shops there is. And it doesn't matter when what time of year it is people will come here no matter what." Naruto said still trying to give the Popsicle to her. Suzuka finally gave in and took it.
"What flavor is it?" Suzuka asked opening the wrapper.
"Sea salt flavor. It's not bad as it sounds." Naruto said with the Popsicle in his mouth. Suzuka nodded and licked it.
"It's good." Suzuka said
"See! And not only that what's better then eating ice cream than eating while looking at the view." Naruto said looking over the hill. Suzuka looked at the direction he was looking at and saw the whole city.
"Wow." Suzuka said lost in the view.
"Yep! Though it's much better if it's at night time. The dark sky and lights from the buildings eliminating the city." Naruto said. As Suzuka imagined what it was like at night time.
"you know you're the first girl I brought here. Well actually you're the only person that knows this place other than Lan. But Lan's dude." Naruto said as he looked at Suzuka and saw a little blush on her face at what he said.
"S-surely you brought Miho-chan or Land lady here?" Suzuka said trying to hide her blush.
"Nope! Miho-chan usually goes to the shrine on the way to the home. And kaa-san always gors to a bakery." Naruto said finishing his popsicle and looking at the stick.
"DAMN IT! I LOST AGAIN!" Naruto yelled.
"Huh?" Suzuka asked.
"Oh you don't know. These popsicles have a competition. If you get the winning stick you get a month's worth of free sea salt popsicles. And every time I try to win one of these I always lose." Naruto said throwing the stick in the small garbage bin beside the bench. Suzuka nodded.
"So are you seeing the city in a new light now?" Naruto asked smiling.
"I didn't want anything to change." Suzuka said getting Naruto's attention.
"Eh?"
"I wanted to go to school with my usual friends and just like before enjoy track and field in my usual way. But ever since the scouts came everyone wanted me to go to the famous school. But to tell you the truth I never wanted to come here. It's dirty and uncomfortable to live in and I have two weirdoes for neighbors." Suzuka said.
Naruto faced the direction of the city. Remembering what his life was like in Konoha with the people he thought were his friends. The Ichiraku's smile and friendly nature, Konohamaru and his gang annoying him to teach them a new jutsu, annoying Tsunade about how old she is, calling Ino ugly and a banshee screamer, annoying Sakura for dates, making Hinata faint, playing pranks on the village and running away from the anbus and Iruka. But then remembered that everything was ruined because of Orochimaru and Sasuke. He remembered he lost a family member because of Orochimaru and wanted to kill him. He also wanted to kill Sasuke but then he would put more trouble on himself and Ayano if he did.
"Sometimes no matter how hard wish for everything to be same it will never come true." Naruto said. Suzuka faced him and saw his eyes that he wasn't here anymore. It was like he was somewhere else. She also saw sadness in his eyes as well as anger. She thought she had angered and made him feel sad so she came up with something to say.
"Well it's funny because of one of my weird neighbors I got a new high jump record, and found a great place like this." Suzuka said breaking Naruto out of trans.
"Oh really? Then you better thank him." Naruto said smiling.
"Now I feel that I may be able to… love." Suzuka said facing him as the wind blew.
"What?" 'LOVE?!'
"This city a bit." Suzuka said finishing her sentence.
"Oh… yeah right." Naruto said awkwardly trying to get his composure back.
"Thanks for showing me this place. But I think we should go back now. Land lady may get angry." Suzuka said.
"You're welcome. And yeah let's go back." Naruto said getting the groceries.
'Maybe there won't be any dramatic change. But I'm starting to feel something change in my heart. My life is about to change. Even if it's a bit. Along with Asahina's smile.' Naruto thought as he looked at Suzuka's smiling face.
Back at the dorm
"Alright the preparations are done. Alright congratulations on getting into high school! And welcome Suzuka and Yamato to be our new tenants!" Ayano said as she placed the cake on the table.
"Thanks Auntie." Yamato said.
"Arigato Kaa-san this really great." Naruto said.
"This is embarrassing." Suzuka said.
Next is to cut the cake. This should be the first task for the couple." Yuka said.
"W-what are you saying?!" Naruto yelled.
"And why are you two here? It's really crowded!" Miho yelled.
"The more the merrier." Yuka said.
"We hardly ever get such an opportunity. We want to celebrate!" Megumi said.
"Saotome just came here to eat kaa-san's cooking! And try to get onii-chan drunk. She even brought beer!" Miho yelled.
"Hey what are you talking about?! If I want any one drunk I want Naruto to get drunk!" Yuka yelled.
"Don't worry Miho you know I cook a lot." Ayano said.
"But…" Miho started.
"Ah who cares let eat!" Yuka said.
"Hey I want onii-chan to taste it first." Miho said.
"Haha this party sure is lively don't you think. They even forgot about us." Naruto said chuckling at Miho shoving food down Yamato's mouth.
"To have a party like this being lively isn't such a bad idea." Suzuka said smiling.
"Yeah you don't get an atmosphere like this every day." Naruto said remembering Iruka's invitation to the ramen shop when he became genin.
"It'd be rude to say that to the land lady." Suzuka said winking.
"Oh~ you two seem to be in a good mood~" Yuka said coming from behind Naruto.
"You stink of alcohol!" Naruto yelled.
"Suzuka you better be careful. This guy is really perverted! Hic. You'll never know what he's going to next." Yuka said in a slurry way.
"What are you talking about?!" Naruto yelled
"Yeah I will." Suzuka said smiling.
"Maybe he already did something to you~" Yuka said.
"Don't say strange things." Naruto said eating while closing his eyes imagining she doesn't exist.
"Is that so~ Today I accidently saw you at the the stairs looking at Suzuka's …~" Yuka said in a whisper.
Naruto went wide eyes and spit out food.
"HAHAH she got you good gaki!" Kyuubi was rolling in his cage. 'SHUT-UP!' Naruto said to his tenant.
"What do you want?" Naruto said.
"I want all the money you won from me during that gamble last time." Yuka said.
"Idiot that's way too much!" Naruto yelled.
"Oh really~ Suzuka I got something to show you!" Yuka said showing her cell phone.
'Damn I wish I could destroy that phone but then kaa-san would be pissed! Besides that how did she catch me! I'm a ninja!' Naruto thought.
"Ah now I remember!" Megumi suddenly said.
"Eh? Yes?" Naruto said.
"You looked under Suzuka's skirt today didn't you? That's a crime Naruto-kun." Megumi said blurting everything out.
'I want to kill ero-sennin for making me into a pervert.' Naruto said banging his head on the table.
"YOU ARE THE WORST!" Suzuka yelled.
"I didn't mean to. I was just facing straight and it just happened!" Naruto said explaining himself.
"Really did you make a victory sign afterwards." Yuka said.
"You pervert!" Suzuka yelled.
"Ni-ni hentai!" Miho shouted.
"Ah gorou-chan that's mine!" Yamato yelled.
'Yep my life is making a dramatic change. Ever since I came here. I feel like this is only the beginning.'
Elemental nations
"Did you find him yet?" A voice said.
"No, not yet all we know is that he went to the east." Said another voice.
"Okay that is all." Said the first voice.
To be continued…
