Chapter Seven
Naruto vs the Spirit
Sasuke didn’t even bother counting how long it took for Naruto to pack away the rest of his books, all he knew was by the time Naruto was finished it was already evening leading quite quickly into the night. He ended up experiencing a feeling of déjà vu as he trailed behind Naruto as a weirdo stalker; he wondered how long he would have to continue this.
As soon as he saw Naruto going to bed Sasuke decided to return to his own room, he hadn’t eaten anything all day and was rather unsure if he could even eat the food that Naruto had brought along with him. But then again ramen wasn’t exactly his preference so instead he chose to dig into the nick nacks his brother had packed away in his bag. Although it wasn’t as fulfilling as a hot meal it was enough to keep at bay the gnawing pangs of hunger.
He could feel his eyes dropping slightly from the little amount of sleep he had but he needed to watch Naruto again. Going into the bathroom Sasuke splashed some cold water into his eyes to keep himself awake before he made his way back to Naruto’s room. Settling himself down beside the wall he sat in the darkest of the corner of the room keeping watch.
…..
Jolting awake Sasuke looked around slightly panicked at what woke him up. He hadn’t planned on falling asleep but his brain just shut off without him realizing. He winced slightly at the abrupt movement of his neck, having slept in a rather uncomfortable position he was supporting a rather painful twinge in his neck. Making half circular motions in order to ease the tension Sasuke rubbed his eyes removing the crust before fully looking up at what had awoken him.
The shuffling of duvet drew his eyes to Naruto’s bed only to see him climbing out; standing up Sasuke stretched out his muscles before following Naruto out of the room. He followed as Naruto went into the library and settle himself in front of his desk before opening his laptop. Sasuke wasn’t able to see much with Naruto’s body in the way so instead he chose to lean against the wall with Naruto’s back to him. He was wide awake now so there was little chance of him unsuspectingly falling asleep.
He watched as Naruto type away at the keys furiously pausing every now and then to re read what he wrote. Pretty soon he could see Naruto’s head loll to the side dropping slightly, evidence of his exhaustion before he would snap back up again.
An hour or so had passed since they came into the library when Naruto’s head dropped into his arms this time he didn’t sit back up. Sasuke could hear the faint snores as Naruto entered the blissful lands of sleep.
Just like the night before Sasuke watched as Naruto disappear into thin air. Activating his Sharingan Sasuke found himself face to face with Naruto, literally.
He didn’t know how he moved so quickly because it was only a second between Naruto disappearing and Sasuke activating his Sharingan but in that time Naruto had managed to close the distance between them.
As both men stared at each other Sasuke once again noted the transparent physique of Naruto, had Sasuke not known any better he would’ve just assumed this was just an ordinary job for Uchiha Sasuke.
Naruto crossed his arms over his chest a look of curiosity crossing his face.
“You can see me” Sasuke managed to prevent the shock from appearing on his face from being addressed directly he thought Naruto would just stare at him and then leave to open the windows like he did the last time.
Taking his silence as a confirmation Naruto continued speaking “you know you have red eyes. I’ve never met anyone who has red eyes. Is that why you can see me? Everyone else can only ever see him but never me” by the end of that sentence he was pouting child like seemingly upset.
“Him? Aren’t you the same person?” Sasuke questioned rather confused wondering if he was talking to two people instead of one, but that didn’t make sense
Naruto looked at him contemplating his placed a finger on his chin as he thought about “hmmm. Same person? I suppose we are. But I’m smarter. It’s only because of me he gets to stay otherwise nothing would’ve made sense.” His voice was rather light a slightly high pitched something a young boy would have not a 24 year old.
Sasuke opened his mouth to ask another question but Naruto interrupted before he could “ah” a sudden realization dawned on his face. “I don’t have much time” before turning and skipping out of the room.
Sasuke just stared at him dumbfounded what the hell was going on. Following Naruto he watched as the boy began opening the windows all the while humming a cheerful song. Okay so this was very different from the night before, then he looked rather sombre but now he was rather happy.
As Naruto opened all the windows around the house Sasuke decided to question him on it.
Naruto gave him one of the most if not the only sunniest smile Sasuke ever seen; he was nearly blinded by it.
“Because he needs to wake up” Naruto told him rather mysteriously they were back in the library where Naruto finished opening the last of the windows.
“You should sleep now nothing else will happen he’ll just be sleeping” Naruto begun disappearing
“Wait” Naruto paused looking at Sasuke “you’re a spirit, what is he?” Sasuke made a motion towards the empty chair.
Naruto gave Sasuke a rather sad smile as cerulean eyes darkened making the man seem older than he actually was. “He’s” Naruto sighed running a hand through his hair, he wasn’t sure whether to tell him, he didn’t trust him yet even though he was the first person to see him and not the other Naruto. Deciding he might as well the spirit disappeared leaving Sasuke with a rather cryptic answer “he’s what I wanted to be”
Sasuke watched as the spirit disappear only to return to the chair but no longer transparent and in the same position Sasuke saw him earlier asleep.
Running a hand through his own hair Sasuke returned to his room to write up what had happened tonight. Thing were becoming more and more complicated.
Settling down in his own bed Sasuke pulled out his journal ready to write up another nights of questions.
6^th October
Like the day I first came here Naruto was unable to see me, I was able to gain some information through Itachi that leads me to possible causes of why he is still here.
The first being his mothers death.
There are some oddities surrounding her death that has lead me to question, I will ask Itachi to dig further but in the mean time I need to speak to the supervising officer A. Sarutobi.
Sasuke paused trying to find the words to describe what had just happened
It appears as if we can separate the being into Naruto and the Spirit. Naruto seem fully unaware of his death and is merely living out the days as he did when he was alive.
The spirit on the other hand seems to be aware. He treats Naruto as a separate person despite claiming they are the same. He has made two rather confusing points. The first as to why he opens the windows and second as to who or what Naruto is.
From what I have seen I am able to make the assumption, the Spirit version in some way protects Naruto from knowing the truth. He mentioned something about “not making sense” which leads me to this conclusion that he alters memories of Naruto in order to fit with the situation, however I have no evidence for this but it is merely speculation.
At this moment I can merely speculate and see what happens.
Closing the journal Sasuke replaced it in the draw. His body was exhausted and he could feel his eyes drooping apparently whatever energy he used for activating his Sharingan took all his remaining energy from him and before he knew it he had fallen asleep.
…..
The next morning found Sasuke sitting at the dinning table. He had brought his own coffee not knowing if Naruto drank it or better yet if he could drink it. The water seemed fine so Sasuke wondered if it was possible for him to eat Naruto’s food.
He had chosen to leave the windows open despite nearly being frozen to death, his only comfort the warm liquid trailing down his throat and heating his insides. Suddenly a string of curses was heard behind him before the loud slam of the window being shut rather violently.
He watched as a flash of blond and white brush past his slamming the kitchen windows shut mumbling something about brats but Sasuke wasn’t paying much attention it.
What he did pay attention to was when the blond haired man turned around and cerulean eyes stared straight into him. Well it seems like he can see me now Sasuke thought amusedly, he wondered if it had anything to do with his speaking to the Spirit version last night or maybe this was how it usually happened; well he’d find out when he questioned the previous occupants.
Naruto’s mouth was hanging opening in complete shock imitating a perfect image of a fish. Unable to help himself “close you mouth unless you want to end up swallowing flies” Sasuke watched in satisfaction as the man shut his mouth his teeth clanging from how harsh and quickly he did his face turning a rather splendid shade of red. God Itachi may be a pain but now he understood his brothers need to tease; Naruto’s reactions were rather amusing. He just hoped he didn’t react the same way to his brother.
“Dobe” Sasuke muttered as he took a sip from his coffee though it wasn’t the type of meeting Sasuke planned but he couldn’t help seeing how embarrassed Naruto had gotten, even his ears were bright red.
“What the hell who the fuck are you and what the hell are you doing in my house” Naruto shouted well more screamed his finger wagging to and fro in front of Sasuke’s face reminding him of a dogs tail.
Sasuke just gave him his usually noncommittal sounds as he calmly took another sip of his drink. The coffee was like heaven on his tongue, though the windows were now closed the place hadn’t heated up yet and if one looked rather carefully they could the goose bumps trailing Sasuke’s arms.
“What the heck is that suppose to mean get the hell out of my house before I call the police” Sasuke rose an eyebrow amusement glinting in his eyes as he was hit with the image of Naruto trying to convince the police and the police unable to see him.
“This isn’t your house” figuring he might as well reply beside it wasn’t as if he was lying, this wasn’t Naruto’s house though it wasn’t his either but Naruto didn’t need to know that.
“What the heck are you talking about I brought this house” He could see the question marks appear on Naruto’s head as he tried to figure out what Sasuke was talking about.
“Hn. I’ve been living here longer than you” which wasn’t technically a lie since he did arrive a couple of days earlier than Naruto. Sure Naruto was appearing in this house for the last ten years but they weren’t talking about that they were only focused on this year and in all technicality Sasuke was there longer.
Sasuke watched as Naruto got a faraway look thinking before his face suddenly become pale and his eyes widened into saucers as he shakily pointed a finger at Sasuke.
“No way” Sasuke could barely hear him as he was whispering however the next part he said loud enough for the whole world to hear. It also stumped Sasuke since it was the last thing he would’ve thought Naruto would say “y-you’re th-the ghost”
Sasuke blinked a couple of time momentarily surprised before he got his cool back well at least his speculation was dead on, the Spirit version must have been alternating Naruto’s memories otherwise he wouldn’t know anything about a ghost “Tch idiot”
“Excuse me!? Who the hell are you calling an idiot” Sasuke winced slightly, was a man meant to have such a high pitch to their voice, weren’t men meant to have deep sensuous voices, because someone seemed to have failed to inform Uzumaki Naruto that and he seemed rather certain to deafen Sasuke.
“Who do you think, there isn’t anyone else here is there” Sasuke replied sarcastically surely it wasn’t that hard to figure out, he was beginning to wonder if Naruto actually owned a brain, honestly this was a prime example of why Sasuke did not like people.
“What the hell. Who the fuck do you think you are just because you’re some ghost doesn’t give you the right to insult me.” Sasuke just stared at him not deeming him fit for another answer, he had only just spoken to Naruto and already he was beginning to get a headache oh how he wished he could hurry up and finish the job and get back home.
Suddenly Naruto pointed to the coffee mug in his hand “how the hell are you drinking that?”
By lifting it up and drinking he thought sarcastically however he just gave the man smirk before taking a long sip of his drink. It amused his to see Naruto paying such close attention to what he was doing.
“Dobe” he muttered as he placed the cup down, he watched as Naruto’s face scrunch in indignantly as Sasuke insulted him again. It was the first time Sasuke had met someone who was so easily riled up.
“Why you” he watched Sasuke face bloat looking like a tomato before he grabbed Sasuke by the arm dragging him. Sasuke couldn’t stop the surprise being seen in his face, Naruto seemed to enjoy shocking him. Never in all of Sasuke’s professional years had he ever been manhandled by a ghost, more so never had he actually come into physical contact with a Spiritual being. Hell he didn’t even know it was possible until Naruto grabbed him.
Sure violent Spirits could touch things, but it was only objects not really people which proved fine for them because they used the objects to kill people. Otherwise they would use their own Spiritual powers to do so.
But Sasuke could feel Naruto’s hand on his wrist as he pulled him through the living room, he could feel the roughness of tanned skin and the heat seeping through his own wrist.
As soon as they got to the door Naruto threw it open pushing Sasuke into the door way
“Breaking and entering is a criminal offence just so you know so I suggest you think before you break into someone house. I know this place hasn’t been used for the last few months but now I’ve brought it and you have to go find somewhere else to stay” he told Sasuke seemingly assuming Sasuke was a squatter who stayed in the house whilst it was empty.
He made a motion for Sasuke to leave, figuring he might as well Sasuke walked passed the thresh hold leaving the house. As soon as he turned around he could see the inside of the house. It had reverted back to the same state of crappiness as when Sasuke had first entered the house and no Naruto.
Walking back in he was once again hit with the “whoosh” of spiritual power except this time the house reverted back rather quickly. Naruto had dropped to the floor his eyes almost popping out as he stared at Sasuke.
Sasuke took careful assessment of his positioned, it seemed that as soon as Sasuke stepped out of the house the house would revert back to its original state, at least from the outside. It is only when you’re inside would you see Naruto and apparently it was the same for Naruto. He couldn’t anything beyond the front door aside from what was there when he lived there, meaning as soon as Sasuke left he would disappear like a ghost.
Sasuke had to prevent laughing at the irony of it.
It was rather unusual since he didn’t experience that yesterday but apparently you should always expect the unexpected with Naruto.
Fear made itself known on Naruto’s face as he scrambled on the ground pulling himself before running upstairs all the while screaming “GHOST” leaving Sasuke to stand there looking like an idiot staring at the space Naruto had been.
