Adagio Pt. I--Monday

Early fall began to decorate the landscape around the Uzumaki mansion. The once green leaves on the trees that surrounded the estate began to turn to pale yellows, oranges, and reds. The transition in colors not only signaled a change in season but also a new school year for Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto loved school. He was always delighted in learning new things, granted that the subject matter was interesting. However, the one thing that worked against Naruto during the school year was the fact that he was definitely not a morning person. During past school terms, he learned that alarm clocks had a very short life span once it woke him up with its annoying, increasingly loud buzzing. It soon became apparent that the only way to wake Naruto up was to do it manually.

"GOOD MORNING NARUTO!" A loud voice boomed with a slam of the door.

Naruto stirred. "Ugghhhhh! Is it time for school already Iruka?"

"Yes it is, and I do NOT want you to be late for your first day of school! Now wake up while I go prepare breakfast for you," said Iruka as he opened up the curtains to let the sun in. "Hurry, I'll be downstairs in the kitchen."

Naruto hated it when he let the sun in so early in the morning. It was probably the most sure fire way to wake Naruto up because none of his blankets could keep the light out. As the blond finally rose up from bed, he stretched out his arms and yawned. With his eyes finally open, he rubbed the sleep out of them as he stood up.

"At least I get to see Lee and Gaara today," thought the blond as he walked over to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He felt much more refreshed once he finished. After his morning routine, he couldn't help but look at his reflection in the mirror. He just couldn't believe how much he's changed since he was a kid. His cheeks weren't as chubby, his hair now curled around his face instead of standing up, and his once baby blue eyes were now a striking sapphire. The girls never paid much attention to him until they started noticing that Naruto was getting taller, leaner, and definitely more handsome as the time passed. After giving himself a wink in the mirror, he began his "journey" to the kitchen.

The Uzumaki mansion was 2 stories with a deeply infinite black marble floor and warm colored walls which were decorated with pictures and portraits. Everything about it was welcoming and inviting, except for the sheer size of the mansion which seemed to engulf any newcomer. As big as it was, the only two people that lived in it were Naruto and Iruka.

Naruto, still dressed in his white pajamas, made his way to the kitchen. To get there he always walked through a hallway with 8 large parallel windows that faced the trees. "The colors," Naruto thought.

At the end of the hallway was the kitchen. Iruka stuck his head out of the corner and yelled, "HURRY UP!"

Even though Iruka saw Naruto every day, he was always amazed at how Naruto seemed to glow in the sun. His golden hair and warm skin looked like it was being guarded by an aura. "He looks so much like his mother…"

"Do you ever wonder why you're still single, Iruka?"

"Because I choose to be."

"No, it's because you order everybody around."

Iruka huffed. "I don't order everybody around, Naruto, just YOU. Most people don't need to be told when to wake, eat, bathe, but you…"

"Alright, alright! I get it. I'm lazy and you're the ever reliable and attentive one." The last part of the sentence was squeezed out of Naruto's mouth with sarcasm.

"EXACTLY," the other replied with a smirk.

They both laughed at each other before sitting down to breakfast. The conversation at the table went like any other talk over eggs and toast. Naruto described his schedule for the day to Iruka, while Iruka talked about how his day would probably be like at the hospital.

Naruto got up from the breakfast table and said, "Thanks Iruka!"

"You're welcome, Naruto."

"Alright, we'll I'm going to get ready for school. You should probably get ready for work too."

With a nod, Iruka got up as well, and they both placed the dishes in the sink before retreating to their bedrooms to get ready for the day ahead of them.

Naruto went back to his room and put on his school uniform which was a matching black pant and black long sleeve button up shirt with a standing collar. He then put his black loafers on to finish up the uniform. Making sure he was presentable, Naruto looked into the mirror and couldn't help but feel that the day was going to be a good one. After getting ready, he got the books he needed for the day, which were Math and Literature. His other two classes, P.E. and Swimming, thankfully didn't require any reading. He placed them into his orange backpack and began walking to the front door.

"I'll see you later, Iruka! Have a great day at work!"

Iruka yelled from his room, "You too, Naruto!"

After locking the door behind him, Naruto walked over to the car and chauffeur inside it. "Good morning, sir."

"Good morning!" said the cheery blond as he entered the car.

"Ready?"

Naruto nodded and with that they were on their way to Konoha High.
