Chapter 5

Naruto threw on clothes as quickly as possible fuming that he had even started to... You know.

He grabbed a jacket and threw it on and grabbed everything he'd need before heading down the stairs to the second floor.

Sasuke had sauntered out of the bathroom over to his backpack and grabbed a pair of boxers before sliding them on underneath his towel. He waited for a moment listening for the idiot to descend the stairs. Sasuke laid his clothes out over the back of a love seat and just as Naruto hid the bottom of the stairs he stretched his arms up over his head stretching out his back before dropping them and moving them to the small of his back massaging the area letting his fingers trace the hem of the towel. Sasuke was subtle in looking over his shoulder to confirm that blue eyes were glued to his rear. Sasuke could help the small smile that slipped on his face before he slipped his thumbs into the towel causing the towel to drop to the floor.

Naruto who had been watching intently snapped out of his stupor once he'd seen his boxers and the Uchiha had bent over to grab said towel and walked back over to the bathroom to hang it up.

'Fuuuuu, I don't think he caught me. Seriously, can all of me work as one common unit! He is a bastard. He is not what I am looking for in a soul mate. Romantic, loving and great with children are the ideals!'

Naruto looked up to see a pair of black eyes staring back at him. This guy had the audacity to stand there staring at Naruto in just his boxers. Who- wait. Naruto was the one at fault here.

"Hey... Ill just go wait downstairs."

Sasuke nodded confirming he had heard and watched Naruto as he quickly wasn't to descend the second set of stairs and wait on the first floor. Sasuke went and resumed dressing checking that he had everything he needed for an outing.

Naruto waited by the front door banging his head waiting for the Teme to come down. What was wrong with him. Why couldn't he stop staring? This was turning into a problem. Naruto placed his forearms on the door and stretched out his back giving the Uchiha a wonderful view of his backside. Sasuke stared appreciatively while the blonde unbeknownst was giving him a show.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Sasuke mentally sighed before giving Naruto's ass a mental slap.

" I'm ready to go Dobe" Sasuke called out in a bored even tone.

The blonde snapped straight up and looked over his shoulder with a dark glare.

"You sure took your sweet time Teme. Does it take that much product to style your hair?" Naruto shot back.

"Hn. No" Sasuke walked up to Naruto nearing his face.

Naruto backed up to the door remembering what happened an hour ago when he was that close. His head bumped against the door. Sasuke placed his arms up on either side of Naruto's head. He tilted his head to the side before a slight smirk came on his face. He dropped his right arm down Naruto's side never touching him.

Naruto tensed up feeling trapped. His face had become marble.

Sasuke's hand enclosed around the door handle before twisting it and openly it. The door smacked Naruto's head slightly before he got shoved off to the side by Sasuke's hand and the cocky bastard exited the door.

"Teme!" Naruto walked through the door into the cold air shutting and locking it before jogging to meet up with his bastard of a temporary roommate.

A few hours later, the pair of men could be found at a nearby sports bar.

Sasuke was slowly drinking his beer. Naruto had already downed a few and was talking a mile a minute. It was fair to say the blonde was drunk and would probably need to be walked home. Hopefully they didn't get kicked out of the bar due to his volume and level of intoxication. Sasuke had been half listening to Naruto's stories in case the blonde said something notably worthy of blackmail. But that occurrence didn't seem likely.

"... and then an earthquake happened. The whole freaking house shook and when I came back in there were cracks in the walls."

"How interesting." Sasuke drawled

"Shut up. Anyways that's when I started finding all these love letters hidden around the house. I haven't found any in awhile, but that's what motivated me to look for the family once I found out about his daughter. It was really sweet And they really loved eachother." Naruto put his head on Sasuke's should and wrapped his hands around his bicep.

"The original owners have a daughter that's still living." Sasuke now had his full attention on the droopy eyed blonde.

"Hm. Yes and No."

"Care to clarify."

"Don't you ever ask nicely for anything." Naruto rose his voice.

... What.

"What do you mean yes and no." Sasuke asked in what he hoped was a nicer tone.

"Well, you see, she wasn't genetically the old Sasuke's daughter, but he did adopt her. They were family. Him, his boyfriend and his daughter."

"Can you please tell me where she is Naruto." Sasuke asked in possibly the nicest tone he had.

"Mmm, because you asked SOOO nicely, she's at..."

Sasuke watched as Naruto thought about it. Based off the face he was making it must've been painful. Sasuke had developed a tick in his forehead by the time the blonde made a facial expression that told Sasuke he had an answer.

" Konoha Assisted Living. She's a really nice old lady. I lick her a lot."

Sasuke made a face. Lick? He sure hoped the dobe meant like. Sasuke looked Naruto over noticing the blush on his cheeks. He debating leaving him there, but that probably wouldn't be a good idea and it would undoubtably bite him in the ass later.

'Come on Naruto, time to go." Sasuke placed an arm around his blonde companion lifting him out of the barstool and placing him on his feet. Sasuke grabbed his wallet and paid the tab and guided Naruto to the door.

While walking down the street Sasuke was left with the task of listening to Naruto laugh at things that weren't funny and the blonde trying to use him as something to sleep and drool on. If they ever went drinking again Sasuke was cutting him off after two beers.

"Loooooook a garrrrrgoyleeeeee."

Sasuke hated idiots.

They finally got back to the street and Naruto had placed almost his full body weight on Sasuke.

"Almost there." Sasuke said while shaking his bangs out of his eye sight. He readjusted his hold on the blonde before stopped completely.

"You smell good."

Sasuke looked at the drunk and dazed blonde directly. Maybe one beer would become the blondes cut off point.

"Hn."

Sasuke grabbed the key from Naruto's hand while Naruto repeatedly tried to slap his hand away before he got it. Then he grabbed Naruto around the waist and threw him over his shoulder. It was barely 3pm and the moron was completely wasted.

Sasuke placed his hand on Naruto's ass and began walking again.

"Hentai!"

Naruto let his head and arms drop and Sasuke could feel the other mans chin bouncing against his back and the mans hands hitting the back of his legs just under his ass.

Naruto tried to pull himself upward a bit placing his hand on Sasuke's ass while doing so.

"Hey Teme."

Sasuke had froze momentarily when Naruto had grabbed his rear.

"What?"

"Am I touching your butt?"

Sasuke resisted the urge to drop him as they began to reach the stairs.

"Yes Naruto, your touching my butt."

"Ohhhhhhh, it feels nice. Very firm"

Sasuke had stopped halfway up the stairs before looking upwards silently asking whoever was playing with his life this way to please stop.

"Now who is being Hentai dobe?"

"HEY! I was giving you a compliment."

Sasuke turned the key in the lock and opened the door. He walked up the stairs and to the master bedroom and walked towards the bed. He gave Naruto's ass a squeeze and dropped him onto the bed.

"No need to be rough, Teme."

"Hn. Your ass feels nice too."

Naruto shrugged before laying back down mumbling something or another and passed out.

Sasuke shook his head before checking the time. 3:15pm. He went downstairs to the second level looking around for an address directory. After he found the address he was looking for he went back down to the first floor and out the door locking it.

Naruto woke up a little drunk. But, not as drunk as before. He rolled over and fell off of the bed. Naruto groaned as he got up. He felt around in his pockets trying to find everything and make sure it was there. He hazardously made it down the stairs in one piece and decided not to gamble going all the way down to the first floor.

'How exactly did he get home…?'

Naruto remember going out to lunch with the bastard… walking into a bar with the bastard… and after that it got a tad fuzzy. The last thing he distinctively remembered was the bastard commenting on his choice in beer. Not everyone needs to drink fancy beer.

Speaking of the bastard…

Naruto looked around the second floor noticing a lack of Sasuke.

"Sasuke…?"

When nothing came of it he pulled out his wallet making sure nothing was missing. He felt his phone in his pocket. And his keys should be… where the heck are the keys?

Just before he got up and risked going down to the first floor he heard the door open and shut. He heard the door lock shut. Naruto stumbled over into a suitable spot for a surprise attack it needed.

He looked over to see familiar spikes.

"Hey Teme, where'd you goooooo."

Sasuke looked a little surprised to see Naruto up, but nonetheless held up a bag of food.

"I grabbed your keys so I could get in and out." Sasuke said while dropping the food and keys on the table.

"Oh."

"Are you still drunk."

"Why makes you think that."

"Probably the fact your using me to steady yourself from what would be a guaranteed fall."

Naruto looked at his hand and sure enough he was using Sasuke to stand.

"Well maybe I just like touching you. Ever think of that? Wait, no. That's not what it is."

Sasuke chose to ignore Naruto's drunk rambling and pulled out a cheeseburger and fries from the bag.

Naruto opened the bag and pulled the other one out.

"And what makes you think that's for you?"

"It was left in the bag."

Naruto pulled out the other fries and pulled the bun off of the burger pulling the tomato off and started putting fries on it and replaced the top part of the bun.

Sasuke had witnessed a lot of strange and weird things in his life, his middle school teacher being one of the strangest, but this was plain weird.

Naruto picked up the burder and started eating it. Sasuke reached over and picked up the abandoned tomato and ate it.

"Eww, why would you eat that?"

"You're seriously questioning me eating a delicious tomato while you're eating fries on your burger?"

"There isn't anything weird about friends on a burger. I also like dipping my fries in my chocolate milkshakes."

Sasuke gave a look of mild disgust before choosing to ignore the idiot and finish eating so he could go lay down. He was exhausted, but had accomplished something today.

"You look tired."

"Thank you for pointing out the obvious Naruto, you're as sharp as ever."

"Well than go to sleep."

Sasuke threw his trash away and walked over to the mat.

"Why don't you go sleep in the bed upstairs I'm going to stay awake for a bit and the bed is super comfy."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, but shrugged and walked upstairs. He walked in the room and stripped down to his boxers before crawling onto the bed and falling asleep.

Sasuke snapped his eyes opened and slowly brought them to a glare. Sasuke, who had been sleeping quite peacefully, had woken up to a sudden weight on his back and side. He felt an arm drop across his chest and someone pull closer to him. He felt air being breathed on his neck and a slight moan slip out.

Sasuke turned his head to face the person who decided to cuddle him very suddenly. Naruto.

The dark-haired man dropped his head into the pillow and sighed. He placed his arm on Naruto's toned chest feeling him breath and his heart beat.

'He has soft skin.' Sasuke thought to himself.

He gave Naruto a shove and successfully got him off of his back. Sasuke debated getting out of the bed and going to sleep on the mat, but decided to risk it and stay in bed. Sasuke drifted off back to sleep.

After what seemed like a few minutes, Sasuke opened his eyes again to feel that same weight again with a slight difference. There was something poking him.

Sasuke wasn't a stranger to erections, morning wood or anything of the sort, but that doesn't mean he was ok with being woken up due to being dry humped.

He could feel Naruto slightly grinding into his back side. Instinctively Sasuke wanted to turn around and smack Naruto upside the head, but he was trying to work on anger management. Instead, Sasuke took a breath and counted to ten. In the ten seconds Naruto had grown bolder in his sleep induced sexual assault on Sasuke and started to grind harder.

"Sasuke…"

Sasuke momentarly wondered if Naruto had woken up, but judging by the fact Naruto was still going, he highly doubted it. Naruto gave off light moans and Sasuke felt the stirrings of himself getting hard.

The dobe was attractive. But getting hard wouldn't do much for him. He couldn't just molest Naruto the way he currently was doing to his rear end. Sasuke wouldn't stop and light and suggestive grinding. He would want to take it all the way and Naruto would definitely wake up by the feeling of someone pounding into him.

Sasuke felt Naruto still his movements and let out a slight groan and he could feel Naruto slightly shudder. Sasuke pulled out of the blonde's grasp taking a good guess at what had happened. He pulled the blankets off getting up. The moonlight lit up the room and Sasuke looked at Naruto in his post-orgasm face. Naruto had rolled onto his back with his hand over his chest and he was starting to breath evenly. Sasuke glanced down between Naruto's legs and smirked. He won in size. He was also satisfied that a dream version of him had got Naruto hot and bothered. Even if, and only in, Naruto's dream he had bottomed. In reality though, if Naruto ever tried to top, he would be in for a surprise. Sasuke didn't bottom. Not even for hot blondes.

Naruto awoke to the sun shining through the window and he felt peaceful. He wasn't tense or stressed out. He stretched before he awoke and walked into the restroom. His boxers felt uncomfortable and were almost stuck to him. He pulled them off and recognized the white flaky cause of the discomfort.

"Seriously, that's disgusting. Isn't that supposed to stop in like middle school or something."

Naruto grimaced as he turned on the bathwater and got ready to get cleaned up. He looked in the mirror and began to recall yesterday. He couldn't exactly piece it together. He gave up since he didn't want to ruin his morning. Today would be a good day.

After Naruto got showered and dressed he walked down to see Sasuke sitting at the table wearing his jeans and eating a bagel with sliced tomato on it. Naruto gave Sasuke a funny look before noticing a few bags on the counter.

"Where'd all this come from?"

"I got up early so I went to the Farmer's Market."

"Huh. Naruto picked through the bags before deciding on a few pieces from the fruit selection and a bagel.

Sasuke was brooding. He wasn't exactly a morning person. But after Naruto had used his as a body pillow and humped him he couldn't get back to sleep.

"So Teme, I was wondering, since your staying here for a bit, if you'd mind helping me get this house finished up." Naruto asked innocently.

Sasuke thought about it for a moment. Sasuke had worked in construction and restoration before he graduated high school and it definitely passed as a hobby for him. He thought about the offer a moment and then the reasons for him being in Konoha. He gave a nod indicating he'd help the blonde.

Naruto beamed at him and Sasuke swore his heart skipped a beat.

Over the next few days the pair of them had made huge strides in getting the house done. Naruto had gone and bought the items necessary to convert the second floor bathroom into a shower/bathtub combo. The second floor bathroom looked brand new by the time they had finished. They tore down the old fence and built a new one. They had fixed up the back yard which luckily hadn't been too damaged. The second floor had a brand new coat of paint on the walls, floors sanded, buffed and polished, the kitchen counters had been redone and the furniture that had been kept was cleaned up, dusted off and placed where it should. The boys even found time to fix the front door.

Naruto was actually impressed the Uchiha could keep up with him and how good he actually was with house restoration. Sasuke had eventually told him it was something he'd done as a summer job when he was in his late teens.

One afternoon, Naruto was sitting drinking some lemonade outside on the steps. Sasuke was working on the front of the house fixing up the cosmetic damage and wear and tear. He bastard was also shirtless again. What did this man have against his t-shirts? A car turned the corner and Naruto directed his attention from the shirtless wonder to the car. He didn't recognize it, but once he saw the driver and a passenger his face broke into a smile.

"Hello Naruto!" a family blackhaired green eyed woman called once she began to exit the car. She was dressed more casually than Naruto had formerly seen her.

"Hello Midori, and Hello Mrs. Lee"

"I've asked you to call me Sakura." The woman scolded to the blonde slightly.

"Sorry for dropping by unannounced, my mother was curious to see how the house looked." Midori added with a blush.

Sasuke looked down from the ladder and watched the blonde interact with the two older women. Naruto gave Sasuke a wave before escorting the women inside.

Sakura's eyed widened when she walked in. Apart from the missing furniture and paintings that had once hung in the room, it looked a lot like how it used too. Perfect replica. Naruto had done an amazing job. She choked back a sob and smiled. She had stopped by and seen the house just a few short years ago when it had become unoccupied and Nozomi had opted to live in assisted care. Sakura had promised to check on it once in awhile.

"It looks beautiful Naruto. Exactly how I remember it. All it's missing is the furniture." Sakura said with a smile.

Sasuke had put his tools down and walked through the front door.

Sakura looked at him and full on shock came across her face.

Midori saw her mother's face before she turned to face the young man herself.

"Wow, he looks just like…" Midori began.

"I know. The resemblance actually had me thinking I'd gone back in time." Naruto said.

"Actually, If I remember correctly you thought you'd gone in a coma." Sasuke corrected the blonde.

Naruto looked over at Midori, "He's even got the same name. First and Last. Freaky huh?"

Sakura looked between the two men. Naruto being a look-a-like to Naru had been one thing. But and almost perfect replica of Sasuke was making her lightheaded.

"Mr. Uchiha? Are you related to the family that had lived here"

"Yes, I would be the great great nephew of the first Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke answered politely.

"But that would make you Itachi Uchiha's great grandson?"

"Yes, that is correct." The dark haired raven spoke patiently. He could understand the confusion.

"But, Itachi never had children."

"My great grandmother had a fling with him. She bore him and illegitimate son. She did write him to inform him of the circumstances. But she never received a reply."

Midori took the information in. It was plausible. Not everyone waited till marriage even back then. I suppose the elder Uchiha brother could have done something of that nature.

"No one ever tried to document it?" Midori asked.

"She did. She received a lot of trouble giving my grandfather the Uchiha last name. The hospital wouldn't allow it initially. They tried to contact the family but never received a reply. So they let it go."

Midori gave a sharp nod. If there was still living relatives to the Uchiha family, they were going to be considered royalty in Konoha. In her younger days, Nozomi was treated like a princess. But as her eyes deteriorated she stopped going out in public as much before stopping all together.

Looking at the young man before her, there wasn't a person alive who could deny the resemblance to the younger Uchiha brother.

Sakura, had yet to speak. She was still stunned. She had lways thought Sasuke was beautiful. When she was a young woman she would have given anything to become Mrs. Uchiha. Looking at a perfect replica of him she was flooded with memories.

"You are aware, Mr. Uchiha, that Mr. Itachi Uchiha passed away when he was still young." Midori told him.

Sasuke looked at the old woman carefully who had been studying him.

"Yes, I was actually informed of that recently. I suppose that may have been why my Great Grandmother never received a reply."

Midori hadn't delved much into Itachi's life. It wasn't much to have looked into to begin with. He had never married and up till now it was believed he never had children. She silently vowed to look into the claim. Everything would be public record by now.

Sakura smiled at the young man before turning and asking Naruto for a full tour of the house to which the blonde happily obliged.

"May I inquire as to why you happen to be here?"

"I came here to look for any family that would still be here, but instead I ran into Naruto."

Midori wanted to trust the young man, but she still had to question his motives. Claiming to be a relative of the Uchiha clan was a serious thing. He could have legal rights to the Uchiha estate and what remained of it. He could even request the museum items to be given back to him and his family. Nozomi had given permission for the old pieces, but the new pieces had been donated by a third party and it could jeopardize the exhibit. Not to mention, just because he's an Uchiha, he would get favoritism by the city council and probably cause a bunch of chaos. Midori wouldn't let this man discredit Nozomi. She was still the heir to Sasuke, and as of right now, the Uchiha estate. She would have to look into the family's will.

Sasuke shifted his weight to the other leg while being scrutinized and probably dissected by the woman. He heard the blonde laugh at something from the floor above. He gazed back at the woman before excusing himself and going back to work on the outside of the house.

Sakura and Naruto came back downstairs to find Midori with a notepad out scribbling down something.

"Was he nice to you?" Naruto asked in concern because of the haste in which Midori was writing.

"Oh yes, he was decent enough. A little socially awkward, but as I understand it that's a family trait." Midior replied with a smile. She dropped the notepad and her pen back in her bag. She straightened up and looked at her mother and the blondehaired man.

"I would love to stop by when it's finished if you don't mind." Midori said with a smile.

"Sure, I'll give you a call when it's all done before the flower shop opens." Naruto grinned at her.

"Thank you so much for the tour." Sakura said while giving a slight bow and complimenting his handiwork.

"It's no problem at all, really." Naruto said while scratching the back of his head nervously and sported a blush.

"I'll escort you two lovely ladies out." Naruto said while before offering his arm to Sakura and leading her out the door.

After the two women drove off Naruto went back to his outdoor task which ws ripping out the dead and overgrown plants. The plan was to have new soil placed in the brick encased flower beds by the end of the day and get everything swept out. The boy's opted to leave some of the moss that had been growing on the building. It complimented the house beautifully.

Naruto looked up to see Sasuke hammering the window trim back in place. Most of the original stuff had lasted the tests of time. They managed to salvage most of the stuff. They'd never find replacements and would have to do it from scratch or redo everything to make it match.

He watched Sasuke's muscle flex and he started to climb down the ladder. Once he got to the bottom he turned and face Naruto.

"Something wrong Dobe, if you leave your mouth open too long a fly might come go in there." Sasuke said a smirk.

"Actually, Teme, I was wondering what work-outs you do to get those muscles."

Sasukes smirk dropped a smidge. Before it raised back up. Most of his muscle was in fact natural. The definition came from harm work and long runs. But, Naruto didn't need to know that.

"Lot's of sex." The raven haired man replied bluntly.

Naruto gaped before beginning to fluster.

Sasuke almost commented on the Dobe's fantastic impression of a fish.

He quietly laughed and walked in the house leaving Naruto outside still sputtering.

Sasuke had got a bottle of water and drank about half of it before Naruto made his appearance fully flushed.

"Did you have to be so blunt about it?!"

"Why not. I'm not ashamed of it. People have sex it's completely natural."

Yes it is. But not for people to just say it or treat it like a damn work-out at the gym.

"Not everyone is so open about it. Geez"

"Only complete virgins are uncomfortable talking about sex or sexual situation. People have sex. People masturbate. People partake in enjoying pornography."

Naruto started blushing like mad.

Sasuke studied Naruto for a moment.

"You're a virgin. Aren't you." Sasuke stated.

"And what makes you think that? It's not like people tattoo how many people they've slept with on their arms. Maybe I'm more courteous and don't just say it like some people." Naruto said frantically.

Sasuke nodded to himself solemnly. Yep. Naruto was a virgin.

"You're hot Naruto. It shouldn't be hard for you to get laid. Now, I'm going to use the shower. Sasuke sauntered past Naruto toward the bathroom where the shower was and closed the door.

Naruto was breathing hard as he watched Sasuke. Sasuke thought he was hot. Naruto did a small victory dance in his head before screaming, "I'm NOT A VIRGIN!" Which was an utter lie. But, Naruto wasn't going to let Sasuke win.

The next couple of days we're filled with finishing the kitchen, which both boys were immensely happy for, and the upstairs bathroom. The house was close to done.

When they went out, Sasuke would point out strangers who walked by asking what Naruto thought of them. Naruto repeatedly begged him to shut up and that he wasn't going to sleep around. Naruto was going to bald at the rate he was tugging on his own hair. But that's ok, because when he no longer had beautiful golden blonde locks to pull on, he would start pulling on smooth looking black locks that stood up in the back.

Naruto hadn't believed the bastard at first when Sasuke told him he didn't use product. But sure enough, Sasuke would bathe come out with wet hair and it would just dry that way. It was truly phenomenal.

"What do you find attractive Naruto?"

"Not whatever your currently trying to trick me into looking at."

Sasuke gave a small laugh.

"I'm just trying to help you is all. Your letting me stay in your house and I'll be your wingman if you need one."

Naruto exhaled. Fine. He turned and face his current tormentor. Seriously, this guy was worse than Kiba.

"I'm looking for someone who is romantic, fun, loving and great with children. Preferably they would be around my age. I'm not too picky on looks, but I like dark hair. I'm looking for someone who wants to be in a long term relationship and won't quick at the first fight."

Sasuke rose his eyebrows. Naruto wasn't the guy who looked for a quick lay. He was actually looking for someone to be with. For a long time. The thought tugged a bit at Sasuke's heart. What Naruto was looking for was essentially what most people strived for and rarely got. In their generation, people gave up easily. They didn't fix things that were broken. They just went for something new whether or not it was better. Sasuke understood perfectly. He himself had given up on the concept, but maybe he'd get lucky down the line.

Sasuke nodded at Naruto.

"Male or Female?"

Naruto pondered this. If he said male, the bastard would pry tease him. If he said female, Sasuke would pry try and wingman it for him and end up with the girl. But Naruto was also raised to be honest.

"Honestly, if they are 'the one' I wouldn't care. But to be honest, I think I lean more towards guys." Naruto looked away and waited. He never expected the person that would 'come out' too would also be the person who made him realize he was gay.

Sasuke noticed Naruto had looked away and almost seemed embarrassed.

"I guess we have that in common." Sasuke turned his face away from Naruto when he saw the blonde turn to face him.

Naruto has speculated Sasuke may have been gay from the panty joke. But never confirmed it.

Sasuke remembered everytime he'd come out. Only one of them wasn't bad and that was his older brother who also informed him he was gay also. But His brother had hugged him and said he'd love him no matter what. Unfortunately, after that his brother went away to college and Sasuke had been left on his own and he and Itachi had never reconnected their bond.

Naruto was surpised, but gave Sasuke a smile and patted him on the leg.

"Well, I think we had better get back to work? What do you think?"

Sasuke smiled a bit and nodded. The pair of them walked back to the house.

They had put in probably an hour of work before they heard the door open. Naruto looked at Sasuke who was removing the light fixture from the third floor bathroom.

"I'm going to go see who is here."

Sasuke nodded at him before going back to what he was doing.

Naruto reached the first floor and saw Ino looking around with wide eyes.

"Wow Naruto! This place looks amazing!" Ino exclaimed. She'd envisioned it a few times in her head, but as always Naruto went about and beyond.

"Glad you like it Ino! I've been working my butt off." Naruto said with a laugh.

Ino smiled at Naruto before her face turned into a sad expression.

Naruto furrowed his eyebrows.

"What's up Ino, something wrong?"

"Yeah, sorry. My dad got a phone call this morning from the bank. Looks like the sale didn't go through. We won't own the house anymore." Ino said with a grave face.
