-Well, well...you got a lot of books- said Naruto and he walked up to them and he read all the titles while moving his finger along them- hmm...I haven't read this one before...-
-I can lend it to you if you want - said Gaara with a gentle smile.
-Hmmm...- Naruto took the book and scanned the pages - I will give it back in about a week,
-A week?! You will read such a big book in a week?! It took me a year!- he shouted while looking at Naruto.
-It works like this : you go back from school, you do homework and you got free time. PC bores you, you haven't got anyone to go with to skate park or hang out in town. On TV there's nothing interesting, so you sit and read,- said Naruto, while packing the book in his bag.- you really got an interesting room Gaara.
-Thank you. So what will we do now?- he asked
-Plaaaaay! - shouted Kankuro and he brought some game and joysticks for computer,
-Kakuro...are you joking?...-said Kiba with a slight hope in his voice. But it wasn't a joke.
-Then who will play...- Kankuro saw that no one showed even one bit of enthusiasm - you are no fun!
-While you are fun to the max. - said Neji while laughing.
-Plus bothersome! - said Kiba while imitating Shikamaru.
-That's my line!! - said Shikamaru.
-Calm down - my room is a room of harmony...and you might scare Sebastian- said Gaara while pointing at his green lizard inside of terrarium.
-Sebastian? You named a lizard Sebastian? I'm finding out some shocking things about you...- said Sasuke with an ironic face and he looked at the creature named "Sebastian".
-Ha! Don't insult Sebastian! - said Gaara with a serious face, and everyone laughed. Some weird sound spread throughout the room.
-Oho. I have to go. Parents are too attached to me- said Neji with a serious face. Cya.
-Ermm...then I'm going too. Parents might bother me too. Bye.- said Shikamaru while leaving with Neji. Now the only people left are Gaara, Kankuro, Sasuke, Naruto and Kiba.
-Hmm..I like that guitar.- said Naruto while looking at it.
-Yea, it's nice right? Sasuke can you play something for us? I know that you are self-taught but you surely can play something! - said Gaara with a hope in his eyes.
-Leave me alone. I won't humiliate myself. That's an only thing that I can't do.- said Sasuke while crossing arms on his chest.
-Give it to me- said Naruto and Gaara passed it to him.
-Can you play? -asked curious Kiba. Naruto moved his fingers across the strings. Then he nodded when the sound was OK. he moved his fingers on the strings once again. He stopped.
Windmill, Windmill for the land..- Naruto began to sing and play on a guitar with a matching notes.
Learn forever hand in hand.
Take it all in your stride.
It is sticking, falling down.
Love forever, love is free.
Let's turn forever you and me.
Windmill, windmill for the land.
Is everybody in? - finished Naruto. Naruto leaned his hand on the guitar and smiled.- Did you like it? - he asked.
-Wow. I had no idea that you can play on a guitar!- said Kankuro.
-Every self-respected fan of rock should be able to play ,both on an electric guitar and the classic one.- said Naruto.
-Ha! Sasuke you got something to be jealous of.- said Kiba and he got got quiet when Sasuke gave him a cold stare.
-Hmm- he said with a mocking tone,- but you wouldn't be able to play on a flute right? - asked Sasuke full of himself.
-Of course not.- he didn't expect such answer. But Naruto wasn't done talking yet,- such music sucks. Flute could kill me.- said and Sasuke was in a complete shock. Everyone looked at Sasuke with a terrified look in their eyes, apart from Naruto of course. - Did I say something wrong?- he laughed when he could see that Sasuke is irritated.
-Sassuke breathe! Don't be angry, sit down. Calm down.- Gaara was scared.
-If you want Sasuke then I can give you an advice. Endurance and motivation is needed. - he said.
Naruto smiled for entire time. While Sasuke's friends didn't they thought that the blonde-haired guy is on his way for a death sentence. Sasuke stood up and walked up to Naruto. His dark eyes were clearly visible now and he looked Naruto in the eyes.
-Thanks for the advice - he said with a cold smile.
-Ahh by the way! What are you always doing in your sketchbook? - asked Gaara while trying to cool down the atmosphere.
-Ah yeah. Do you want to know? - asked Naruto and he took out his sketchbook.
-Niceee - Kankuro took the sketchbook from his hands, and he dropped it accidentally. It opened on the page which he wouldn't want anyone to see. Sasuke's eyes got wider from shock. He picked up the sketchbook. Everyone looked at Naruto's drawing.
-But...what...what...what does it mean- asked Sasuke
-Well I began to draw all you, you included my black sheep.It's not hard to guess that sketchbook was opened on portrait of Sasuke. They turned the pages and they checked the other portraits. He sketched everyone from the class. It was drawn so well, they looked like photographs. Further away there were some parodies of manga. And some anime characters.
-Wow. You're so talented. - said Kiba.
-Hah. Maybe so.- he said with a poker face that he always had.
-You are highly talented! Don't even try to deny it. Gaara smiled in a friendly way.- I see that you are good. Naruto reached out his hand to shake his hand.
-Good? - asked Gaara while looking at his hand confused.
-You're not some piece of shit, that we meet everyday. after hearing that Gaara gladly shook his hand.
Maybe it will sound stupid but when they checked the time it was already 9 pm and everyone had to leave. Naruto kindly said goodbye to all Sabuku's siblings and together with Sasuke they got kindly kicked out. Naruto took few steps forward and he looked at their house. He will be alone again when he will be home. He looked at the moon, and the stars on the sky. His eyes and skin had even more pale colours because of the moon light. A wind blew delicately and messed his hair. The boy looked so gentle, as if he was a passing dream...of memories of a night...like this one. Sasuke stood while staring at him. Then he finally got off the trance.
-Did you fall asleep?- he asked with ironic face.
-Thy- you could call that noise a snort coming from Uzumaki. He messed his hair with his hand and he put a hood on. He headed in his direction.
-Aren't you interested in the fact, that we could head in that direction together? - asked Sasuke with unkind tone.
Naruto stopped moving. After few seconds he turned around and while looking at Sasuke.
-I told you already, that I don't like you. You don't like me too. So what's the problem? - he carried on walking.
Sasuke walked few metres behind him. After about 20 minutes he turned to some alley. Naruto didn't pay attention to that. Next step is a next question for Sasuke. Blonde-haired guy became a mystery for him, that he would like to solve. Solve it and destroy it. Before entering his house he said to himself "Yes. I have to know his weak point. Then a burden called Naruto will be gone."
***
Naruto is by his house. He entered the key, and opened the doors. He didn't turn a light on. He was moving upstairs towards him room, like a shadow.
-Why are you back so late- suddenly a voice echoed from behind him.
-Mom...a friend invited me over...almost everyone was there. Beside...-
-Ah I understand. You don't have to explain.- she turned on the light on the corridor- I know you never had much friends, so you don't have to apologize.
-Mom...-Naruto's sarcastic face said everything - I wasn't intending to apologize.
-Yes of course.- Kushina messed his hair - go to sleep - she kissed his forehead and she went to her bedroom. Naruto did the same thing. He thought that he would be alone again. He felt a bit better knowing that his mom will sleep in the next room. While entering his bedroom he didn't turn on the light. He preferred to fight his emotions in the dark.What was bothering him, only he knows. He threw his bag by his bed and he went to the bathroom. When he lay in bed he was looking at the sky. Then the image was getting blurry till he fell asleep.

Naruto walked around an empty school. It was weird that it was empty. He didn't have his phone and a watch. School's clocks were also gone. He went inside the history class , where he was supposed to have his lesson. It was empty. He sat in the last desk. After a while still no one came. He was about to leave, then Sasuke entered the class. Sasuke stood by the doors for a moment and then he came up to him. Naruto wanted to get passed him and leave, but Sasuke grabbed his hips and bushed him on the desk. "What the heck" Naruto tried to get free, but Sasuke's weight was pushing him down. Naruto couldn't say anything.He began to breathe more heavily and he couldn't move. He could feel Sasuke's hand under his hoodie and his other hand was undoing his jeans. "What the hell? Fuck. Why can't I move. Why can't I do anything?!". Sasuke's face was getting closer, and closer. Till it definitely was too close to Uzumaki's face.
-No! - he shouted while grabbing his blanket hard. After a moment his breath calmed.
It was just a dream....just a dream...
He was sweating, and his hands trembled. It was 2:17 am. He went to the bathroom, and he washed his face, He looked in the mirror.
What's going on with me that I have such dreams...He is my antipathy. I don't like him...right?
He looked away, he couldn't stand to look at himself any more. He went back to bed. He covered himself with the blanket, he looked at the cabinet next to his bed. He looked at his razor blade, which was visible by being slightly lightened by he moon.
I'm sorry my friend, but for now you're my enemy. he threw it inside the drawer, and then he turned around. He closed his eyelids and he fell asleep once again. What does he dreams of this time...no one knows. Is it something good, or something bad, something nice or something scary? It didn't matter. The feelings are important. Within him those feelings were mixed up with his memories, so much that he didn't know what to think of any more. He could only run away to the dreamland. Even for a moment. At least for a second away from his worries...
