Two damn
weeks. Naruto thought, angrily
stomping around his kitchen as he prepped a bowl of mint ice cream. What the hell am I supposed to do for two
whole freaking weeks? What about my training?! Stupid old man!
Putting
the carton back in the freezer, the blonde carelessly pushed the door to the
appliance shut and picked up the bowl containing his frozen treat off the
counter before heading into his bedroom where he plopped down on his bed with
an irritated huff.
He and the other genin who were sick had
been taken off active duty until further notice and had been restricted to what
amounted to bed rest for the next two weeks. Since no one had an answer as to
why they had all suddenly lost their ability to use their chakra and there
wasn�t anything but an obscure reference to any kind of precedent for
treatment, the medic ninjas were at a lost on how to treat the geinin�s strange
affliction. At first the idea was to have everyone remain at the hospital under
observation until a cure to the illness was found but Naruto, once he woke up,
had adamantly and loudly protested that idea. He was an energetic twelve year old with a wicked sense of humor and talent for
pranking and he had reminded the hospital staff about this until they had
practically begged the Hokage to find another arrangement.
A
knock on his front door startled the blonde from his thoughts and Naruto
frowned as he put his half full bowl on his nice stand, the spoon making a
sharp tinking
sound when it hit the ceramic a bit too hard and drawing his attention back to
the remaining ice cream. For a second he thought about ignoring his would-be
visitor in favor of finishing his dessert but another, more persistent bout of
knocking vetoed the idea and Naruto, sighing in resignation, headed back down
the hall to answer the door.
Despite
regaining consciousness and his usual demeanor, the fever that had brought him
down had not gone away. He�d been examined and reexamined by the medics, poked
and prodded by lab techs way too fond of needles. He�d had more blood taken
than he thought existed in his body and had been questioned repeatedly about
what he�d been eating, if he had come into contact with anything unusual, etc.
When he�d told them that the only weird thing he�d come into contact with was
the questioner�s cheap ass cologne and horrendous bad breath the interrogation
had ended abruptly. Other than the fever and his inexplicable inability to
access his chakra, they couldn�t find anything wrong with him and had ordered
him to go home where he�d been ever since.
�I�m
coming!� He hollered, irritated as
another round of knocking started. �Stop before you break my door!� Not
bothering to hide his annoyance, he grabbed the knob and turned it, cautiously
opening his door several inches.
�Took you long enough, loser.� Sasuke�s voice, as always, seemed to grate against
his skin, making the blonde�s temper flare.
�Bastard!�
Naruto hissed, hands clenching into tight fists as he fought the urge to deck
the stupid-good-at-everything-stuck-up-duck-butt-haired-prick. �What do you
want?�
�Hn.� The Uchiha smirked, as if he knew just how much his
presence there bothered his teammate. Dark eyes flicked up and down, taking in
Naruto�s state of dress, lip curling at the loose dark tank top and the old
pair of grey sweats that had obviously seen better days. �Catch you at a bad
time, slacker?�
�Fuck
you, bastard.� Naruto growled, staring at the other who continued to smile
contemptuously, expression venomous as he slammed the door in his teammate�s
face. Slamming the deadbolt home, the blonde stalked back to his room, ignoring
the renewed knocking on his front door.
�Sasuke-kun
I asked you to wait for us! Naruto please come open the door!�
He
paused, an eyebrow lifting as Sakura�s muffled voice called to him. It could be
a trick, could be Sasuke yanking his chain, but then Naruto remembered that the
Uchiha couldn�t use chakra either. His heart picked up a bit at the thought
that it could be his not so secret crush �Sakura?�
�Yes!�
She answered. �It�s me! Can you let us in, please? We need to talk to you!�
He
debated telling her that he would let her in but not Sasuke and to have her
send the bastard home but dismissed the idea as too childish, even for him.
Naruto sighed, running a hand through his spiky hair as he returned to the door
and opened it, knowing that he was going to regret this.
�So troublesome.�
�H-hello,
N-Naruto-kun��
�Let
us in already!�
Naruto
nearly fell over as he took in the multitude of faces outside his door. Sakura
was indeed there and the embarrassed smile she gave him did nothing to make him
feel any better his eyes darted from her to the smirking Uchiha next to her, to
Ino Yamanaka cuddling up to the stuck-up brunette, to a bored Shikamaru Nara as the other studied the ceiling, to a
blushing Hinata Hyuuga, to the
scowling face of Neji Hyuuga, and lastly to a
frowning Tenten. Each one of them was holding a
backpack and a bed roll and Naruto felt disquiet settle firmly over his
shoulders.
�Let
us in, loser.� Sasuke said, smirking, taking a step forward as if to step aside
the blonde blocking the doorway.
�No.�
He was outnumbered and outclassed. He was tired and angry. He was too hot again
and only wanted to go eat more ice cream, the most effective way of truly
cooling off short of an ice bath. But though it would be easy to simply give in
and avoid conflict, to let them in and find out what they wanted, Naruto did
not feel at all inclined to let them into his minimal refuge. This was his home
and he was not in the practice of taking the easy route. Two were his
teammates, one was a former school buddy, but none of them were people he
technically considered close enough to see his only private sanctuary. He
wasn�t hiding any big secrets, any illegal activities; he simply didn�t want
them inside his house and so he did not move.
�Naruto, just let us in.� And now Sakura was getting angry,
her lips turning down in a frown, her beautiful perfection marred by the ugly
expression.
�No.�
It was his turn to frown and he did so, using his slight body to fill the
doorway. He folded his arms over his chest, puzzlement and worry over their
sudden visit mounting. �Just tell me what you want right here, please.�
Sakura
opened her mouth, no doubt to lave him with some scathing comment, but Shikamaru beat her to speaking.
�We�ve
all been placed under quarantine.� The brunette explained, sounding incredibly
bored with it all. Naruto bet that it was the lazy cloud-watcher�s dream come true. �As such the Hokage has ordered us to live
here with you.�
The
blonde�s jaw hit the floor as the information sunk in and Naruto tried to
picture his apartment- his tiny, two room, half bath,
shoebox of an apartment with shitty plumbing that didn�t work half the time-
filled with all the people on his doorstep. It was an impossible arrangement and
if Old Man Hokage had ordered this then the guy had to be senile!
�So
get out of the way, idiot.� He could hear the smirk in Sasuke�s voice even
though he couldn�t seem to focus on him. Someone shoved him backward- probably
the Uchiha- and Naruto stumbled out of the doorway, tripped over his feet and
fell on his ass. With nothing to prevent them from doing so, the unwelcome
genin strode inside the small home, expressions twisting into displeasure as
they took in their new surroundings.
Naruto
could only watch as his home was invaded, rage bubbling through him since he
was powerless to prevent it. Frustrated, he said the only clear thought in his
head.
�No
one better touch my ice cream!�
