Review
......
Chapter four
Naruto paced around his room annoyed, angry, agitated and a whole bunch of other emotions flowing through him. It had been over two hours since he met Sasuke, yes his name was apparently Sasuke; he had decided to tell Naruto after he kept calling him teme. However when Naruto told him to stop calling him dobe and use his name Sasuke just smirked saying dobe suited him better.
Ohhhhh that teme Naruto could feel himself growing even angrier at the memory that stupid ghost.
At first Naruto didn�t believe he was really a ghost, I mean come on who heard of a solid ghost it was ridiculous he scolded himself for letting his imagination run wild. It wasn�t as if Sasuke came out and said he was a ghost oh no the bastard just kept that irritating smirk on his face whilst staring at him. So Naruto did what any normal person would do seeing a strange person in their house he grabbed Sasuke by the wrist thankfully he wasn�t holding the coffee cup it was sitting safe on the table as Naruto dragged Sasuke towards the door. Strangely Sasuke didn�t struggle though Naruto did see a hint of surprise when he grabbed Sasuke�s wrist, but he figured it was because Sasuke didn�t expect Naruto to actually to kick him out literally. As soon as they got to the door, Naruto mouthing off about the bad habits of braking and entering and if he wanted to come into his house he had to knock and wait to be invited in. He opened the door motioning for Sasuke to leave and surprisingly Sasuke did that, he walked out of the door and disappeared.
Oh no don�t misunderstand, not disappeared as in becoming a small blob the further he moved into the horizon disappearing.
No.

He vanished completely the moment he stepped out of the thresh hold which caused Naruto to swear stumbling back before falling on his butt his eyes even wider than saucers if that was possible.
This time Naruto really became afraid.
Sasuke reappeared again by the door smirking as he leant against it, if Naruto had been paying more attention he would�ve noticed Sasuke�s smirk wasn�t reaching his eyes instead they were watching him with intent, analysing him. But Naruto wasn�t paying attention instead releasing a very high pitched squeak he cried �Ghost!!� before scrambling onto his feet running upstairs to him room. Adrenaline coursing through his body and his heart beating frantically Naruto had made sure to lock his room before running to his bed and hiding under his covers in safety trying to steal his erratic heart. There was already a dead man in his house; he didn�t want to join him.
It took an hour for him to calm down another to realize how much of a wimp he�d been when facing Sasuke, which resulted in him pacing around his room him both shame and anger. How humiliating for him to be seen like that, now if there was one thing Naruto prized himself for was his ability to not get scared, for crying out loud he was a writer he wrote about scary crap. Naruto paused in his pacing, okay maybe that was a lie but still he read a whole bunch of supernatural novels, it was another of him favourite genre. Sure he felt sometimes plotlines and even some of the supernatural creatures, the way they were characterized were over kill or far too romanticized and mushy. In those cases it was obvious that the authors intended targets were teenage girls looking for some idealized love and then complain how there aren�t any descent guys in the world, instead wishing the guys in those books were real ignoring the fact that most of the guys eat humans.
A loud grumbling cut through Naruto�s thoughts, looking down he patted his stomach realizing he had been so busy with the whole �Hi I�m your residentiary solid ghost Sasuke� situation that he had forgotten to eat breakfast and Naruto was a sincere man whole believed in three meal per day routine.
Walking towards the door Naruto stopped remembering Sasuke, what if he was still there he wondered fear creeping up his spine.
�No Uzumaki Naruto is not scared of anything� Naruto scolded himself for giving into his fear, he would not let Sasuke scare him, he could�ve been the devil in disguise for all Naruto cared. He brought this house, it was his house now and Sasuke was just going to have to deal with it and move on to wherever the heck it was he was suppose to go.
Nodding at his decision Naruto straightened his back; opening the door he made his way downstairs head held high without a trace of fear. Okay maybe a small hint of fear, in fact it wasn�t even a hint it was like a speck, a tiny winy teensy speck which was not growing nor was it causing a few shivers and goose bumps as Naruto made his way to the living room.
When he went into the living room Naruto�s head was immediately drawn to kitchen almost half expecting Sasuke to appear out of thin air however he wasn�t there. In fact Naruto hadn�t seen him at all since he ran up to his room, aside from the coffee cup still sitting on the table Naruto would�ve thought he�d imagined the whole situation up, it wasn�t like it would�ve been the first time but what can he say he had an overactive imagination.
Thinking Sasuke had left of his own accord Naruto let out a relieved sigh, of course it wasn�t because Sasuke scared him or anything he just preferred to be alone and ghosty or not he was still a person. Yes that was it. With a new found confidence Naruto made his way to the kitchen pulling out some instant ramen from the cupboard he started on his breakfast whilst going through what he was planning to do today. Eat breakfast, have a shower, maybe do some writing, nap, lunch, read, nap, dinner and then night which equal sleepy time.
Yawning Naruto sat at the table beginning to feel the effects of crappy hours of sleep he�d been having the last couple of nights.
He was halfway through his bowl when a new voice piped up
�You know eating just that all the time is unhealthy� Naruto started chocking on the noodles, coughing violently he grabbed his glass of milk drinking all of it. Tears formed in his eyes as he thumped his chest taking deep breaths and calming down.
Whipping his head around he saw Sasuke lying on the sofa in front of the fire place facing him however there was a book in front of Sasuke�s face so Naruto couldn�t see him.
Jumping from his seat �how long have you been here� he demanded his face still flushed from chocking.
�Since you ran upstairs with your tail tucked between you legs scared� although Naruto couldn�t see it because of the book hiding his face but he could practically hear Sasuke�s smirk in his voice.
Naruto bristled was he implying that he Uzumaki Naruto was a scaredy cat.
Naruto took a deep breath trying to calm down; he would not respond to that obvious insult, no he had more control than that
�Teme what are you trying to call me a chicken, get the fuck out of my house� he shouted, Naruto internally flushed okay wow mouth you�ve really got to start listening to the brain, but the damage was done nothing to do now.
�This isn�t your house� came the amused reply, getting annoyed Naruto stomped towards Sasuke grabbing the book out of his hands he placed it the floor, just because he was pissed doesn�t mean he�d hurt any of his books.
�Okay listen here� Naruto started staring at Sasuke in the eyes �if you haven�t noticed already but you�re dead as in no longer among the living which means you don�t own anything. I brought this house it�s mine now. I get it you used to live here but now you have to move on and go to what I�m sure is a happier place in bastard heaven okay.�
They both stared at each other for a few minutes before Sasuke sat picked up the book from the floor besides Naruto�s feet and resumed him position completely ignoring him.
Naruto could practically feel the anger coursing through his veins, who the fuck did this bastard think he is, ignoring him like that.
�TEME!� Naruto shouted his shoulders tense, hands clenched as he was ready to burst into a long triad of insults.
�I can not� Naruto paused blinking in confusion his anger partially subsiding at Sasuke�s random comment.
�Huh�
�Tch dobe� Naruto could practically feel Sasuke�s eye roll
�Hey your the one saying things randomly� Naruto shouted defensively feeling like an idiot even for not understanding.
Sasuke put the book down looking straight at him making Naruto feel rather uncomfortable �I can�t leave� realization dawned on Naruto about what he was talking about. A small blush formed on his cheeks for forgetting but soon he focused on the meaning of Sasuke�s words.
�Why not?� he demanded surely it would be easy for the dead to just go wasn�t there suppose to be something like a soul reaper that was suppose to collect his soul.
�I don�t think it�s any of your business� Sasuke got up causing Naruto to take a few steps back not wanting to be close to him, walking towards the door way he glanced back once staring at a stupefied blond �I�m staying deal with it dobe�
.......
A few days had passed since that meeting Naruto had spent most of the time avoiding Sasuke, which wasn�t very hard since he was either sprawled on the living room couch reading or in the guest room which he claimed as his. If Naruto had really looked into it he would�ve wondered why Sasuke didn�t claim the master bedroom and make Naruto move all his gym equipment out since that would�ve technically been his room, but he wasn�t so he never questioned.
During that time Naruto put in a lot of effort thinking about why Sasuke couldn�t leave. From some of the books he read he learned that the only reason�s ghosts remain in the realm of the living was because they unfinished business, could it be there was something Sasuke need to do before he could be at peace and move on. Well he had committed suicide there was probably a reason why but somehow Naruto didn�t feel right asking.
Sighing Naruto collapsed back into his bed; he couldn�t help the curiosity now that he thought about it, why did Sasuke kill himself? Well he was somewhat emo, out of all of Naruto�s books Naruto found he had chosen the more angsty ones, never the ones with happy endings. So maybe he was depressed, but what could be so bad that he would take his own life?
Naruto found himself thinking back to his own life, sure it wasn�t the greatest, and maybe there was more sadness then happiness but still. Would he take his own life?
He could feel it, those tiny tendrils in his mind trying to drag him back into all that he wanted to forget. No; shaking his head he sat up running a hand through his blond locks dispersing all the negative feelings that wanted to grab hold of him.
No this was about Sasuke no him, he needed to think about Sasuke and what to do, Naruto had began to pity the man after reading about lingering spirits. They were always held back because of something sad and it made him upset that even in death people couldn�t be free from the pain experienced in life.
Sitting crossed leg on his bed he pulled one of his pillows hugging it as he mused on how to help Sasuke. Yes help surprisingly, it wasn�t as if Sasuke was trying to stay here he just didn�t know how to move onto heaven, so Naruto being the nice guy he was decided to try and figure it out for him, of course it wasn�t because of the fact that regardless of Sasuke�s depressing past he was still a ghost and scared Naruto a little. Oh no Naruto was just being nice and Sasuke was a massive bastard was another motivating factor.
And then it hit him �of course� he grinned, blues eyes sparkling in happiness
......
Carrying a large box Naruto had gone into the dinning room, he was positive Sasuke wouldn�t go there since it was a place Naruto never entered plus he never put the heating on which was why he was currently freezing in his white kimono, he had forgo the many layers simply having one tied together with a obi now wishing he bothered to put on the other layers but it took too long.
Putting the box down he went to the dinning room table and pushed it to the back wall giving him space to prepare. He took a piece of chalk from the box and started making his circle, lucky for him it was a simple one with just a pentagram in the middle, he had looked at many others but found he would not be able to draw those even if his life depended on it. Plus he liked the ritual that went with this one.
Finished with circle he took out the rest of the things he would need to complete his ritual. An old bowl filled with earth was placed at the left bottom point of his pentacle, incense that he quickly lit on the right to be air; a candle was place on the right on the point above the incense, a bowl of water on the left. At the top point Naruto had breathed in a small jar before sealing it shut tightly to represent spirit, he figured if you breathe was a sign of spirit then what was?
After much consideration on the Sasuke situation as it was now referred to Naruto had come to the wonderful conclusion that the only way to help Sasuke was through an exorcism. Although he wasn�t a priest, heck he didn�t come close to being anything holy but he figured that if anything an exorcism would work. It worked in supernatural and they weren�t priests, which reminded him someone should really tell Hollywood that ghost could have a physical form, hell they could even eat and drink which Sasuke made many points of doing. And salt does not work, yes Naruto did try; he had poured half a cup on salt onto the meal he gave Sasuke on the second day they were together; and aside from insulting his cooking skills and telling him how salty the food was he did not disappear or wince in pain. No that�s a lie, he did wince in pain but that was more from the awful taste than the salt causing him pain.
Back to his ritual, whilst looking up online he had found a whole tone of rituals on exorcism. Some were rather mellow like just throwing salt onto the ghost whilst other involved sacrificing an animal and using it�s blood. Naruto had wrinkled his nose in disgust when he saw those ones.
Fortunately he found one that sounded like a real exorcism and didn�t involve killing anything. It wasn�t an actual exorcism but a ritual to aid the passing of spirits that couldn�t move on. It had been used in ancient times by the Celtics; they would pray to the Goddess of Death Morrigan and ask her help the passing of the soul.
The ritual consisted of a large circle with a pentagram in the middle, at each point there had to be something to represent the 5 spirits Earth, Wind, Fir, Water, and Spirit which would be invoked during the ritual. By connecting with the magic of the land the Priestess, who would cast the circle, but in this case Naruto, would recite a poem or give a small speech about what he is doing and asking for the aid of the Goddess Morrigan, who would take the soul along with her whilst Naruto would thank her and close the ritual.
It was rather beautiful when Naruto had first read it, he did wonder if it would work since Sasuke committed suicide and all and he knew that in a lot of religions they couldn�t say a pray or anything because of that , but the information didn�t anything about it so Naruto decided not to dwell on it much.
He had taken a bath earlier, he needed to be pure for the ritual, so now after setting everything up he wondered how the heck was he suppose to get Sasuke to agree.
�What are you doing� speak of the devil and he comes
Whirling around Naruto saw Sasuke leaning casually against the doorway an eyebrow raised in questions.
�Sasuke� he cried happily, Sasuke just stared at him Naruto had never been happy to see him and now he appeared almost half ecstatic. �Sasuke get in the circle now� Naruto watched as Sasuke look towards the circle he was pointing at and then back at him, the fumes from the incense were covering the room, making Naruto�s head feel a bit strange, he wasn�t good with powerful smells, but he just ignored it instead focusing on the pale man in front to of him.
�Why?�
�Because, I�m writing a scene about a ritual and I need to role play it in order to see what it�s suppose to be like� Naruto lied mentally patting himself on the back for thinking of something quickly.
�Tch� but Sasuke did as Naruto told him to and stood in the middle of the circle, Naruto almost done a happy dance then and there but he stopped himself knowing he needed to finish the ritual before he could do that.
Standing in front of Sasuke Naruto took a deep breath, raising his hands above him he began his long thought out speech to send Sasuke off to the netherworld.
�Oh Goddess Morrigan please take this wondering soul into your bosom and guide him to the next world.� He chanted whist he repeated the words Naruto started circling around him his arms flapping his arms up and down, up and down, up and down, round and round. All the while shouting louder and louder he could faintly hear Sasuke calling his name but he was adamant, this ritual would work and he wasn�t going to break his chants.
Naruto didn�t know how many times he went around the circle all he knew he was beginning to feel really sick, surely he had prayed enough and the Goddess would�ve taken him already. The incense was really starting to irritate his eyes he wasn�t sure if he could last anymore. Screaming his chant one last time Naruto promptly fainted landing on the ground with a loud �thud�, all the while with a satisfied smile on his mouth, he finally got rid of Sasuke.
.....
When Naruto opened his eyes he met the familiar surroundings of his bedroom. Blinking Naruto snuggled into the comfort of his bed pulling his duvet higher feeling at peace with himself.
No more teme ghosts to haunt him ahh life was really perfect, he smiled feeling completely at peace with the world and himself.
�Why are you smiling?�
�GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!� he screeched falling out of the bed he dragged down half of his duvet and fell on is butt rather painfully �fuck� he cursed; scrambling back up onto the bed only to see a smirking Sasuke leaning against the wall comfortably.
�Dobe�
�You� Naruto screamed, his hair was dishevelled and his kimono was sliding down his left shoulder revealing more skin than was necessary to see, but Naruto paid no mind to it, instead he had his finger pointed at Sasuke staring at him accusingly.
�What?� Sasuke asked since Naruto didn�t seem he would continue anytime.
Snapping out of his stupor �why the hell are you still here�
�Why wouldn�t I be here?�
�I banished you that�s why; I performed an exorcism.�
�If you believe going around in circles waving you arm up and down like a mad man was really an exorcism then you really are a dobe�
�Teme I worked for days on that, and for you information that was an actual ritual performed by the Celtics in the olden days� Naruto crossed his arms huffing.
Sasuke just smirked at him �right so was fainting because of the incense fume also part of the ritual� you could see the laughter in his eyes making Naruto flush in embarrassment and anger but before he could respond Sasuke cut him off �I wouldn�t bother anymore they won�t work on me anyways dobe�
�TEME!� Naruto threw a pillow at the wall but it missed his intended target as Sasuke walked out of the room laughing quietly but Naruto could still hear him.
Sucking in his lips and puffing out his cheeks Naruto grabbed another pillow hugging it tightly as he pouted all the while cursing the stupid laughing ghost.
