A short blond haired boy of 17 walked past Chidori Park gloomily, cursing under his breath and dragging his feet as he went. He tugged a small black suitcase at his side.

He had just been evicted from his apartment and was wondering what to do next, his friend Kiba had offered for him to come and live with him for a while but Naruto declined. He hated excepting charity from people; he wanted to be able to stand on his own two feet. However, this 'standing on his own two feet' had proven harder to Naruto than he had expected.

Ugh! I need to start looking for a place to live he thought to himself, moping around here's not going to get me anywhere! He walked a little further and then dropped to his knees suddenly and flung his arms in the air.

"WHY!! How was I supposed to know the bastard I fought with was the landlord's son! I did not deserve this!" he banged his fists repeatedly on the pavement " Nyh! Now I feel so pathetic!"

" Naruto?" came a voice from above him "is that you?" a pink haired girl crouched down Infront of the boy and put a hand on his head. " What are you doing, it's just like you to cause a scene."

Naruto looked up to see the few people around looking at him as if to say "What an idiot."

He retracted into a ball.

"Leave me alone Sakura."

Sakura looked at him red in the face, apparently upset at being ignored; she took Naruto's suitcase with one hand and grabbed his arm with the other.

" Come on idiot lets go, if you stay out here any longer someone might see what a lunatic you are and take you away to the asylum" she smiled.

It didn't take long for the pair to reach Sakura's house, her mother answered the door as Sakura had forgotten her keys and looked disgusted to see the nine tailed fox boy with her daughter.

Sakura dragged Naruto up two flights of pink stairs and into a room labelled " Sakura's domain, CHA!" she pushed him onto her bed and pulled back the curtains.

Light shone through the four long windows and lit up the whole pink room, Naruto looked around and saw a computer and a desk in the right corner of her room almost covered in stuffed animals. Next to it was what seemed to be a whole library of Shojo Manga and wha- MORE stuffed animals. Naruto started to wish he could leave this strange girl, and room as soon as possible.

"Sakura! There is someone at the door for you!" her mother called from downstairs.

"Grr! That woman is so annoying" Sakura breathed, " coming" she shouted back as sweetly as she could, "wait here" she said to Naruto "you can play with my stuffed animals if you want"

She left the room.

"…Hell no" Naruto said quietly, staring wide eyed at the weird creatures. What the hell is this! A toy store? Maybe if I could just-

Sakura entered the room again accompanied by Shikamaru,

"Hey, HEY! What are you doing!" she glared evilly at Naruto who was already half out the window. He fell back in bumping his head on the ground.

" Ouch! Oh… hey Shikamaru" he said sitting up and rubbing his head. Shikamaru went and sat cross-legged on a pink beanbag near a large blue stuffed giraffe he eyed the blond suspiciously and turned to Sakura.

" What's he doing here?"

" IM HERE BECAUSE SHE DRAGGED ME HERE!!" Naruto said. He flung himself at Shikamaru and clung to him " save me."

"Get off me!" he said shaking his arm lazily in a poor attempt to get Naruto off, "I'm here to see Sakura's sister anyway, it was troublesome but I walked here from my house. What's with you today anyway, although annoying you don't seem quite as chirpy as usual." Naruto suddenly remembered his dilemma again and slid off Shikamaru back into a ball.

"Grr! This is all your fault" Sakura yelled grabbing Shikamaru by his jacket and shaking him.

"How is this my fault!"

" I got evicted!" Naruto yelled, Sakura let go of Shikamaru.

"Aw! Naruto." She said " you can stay with me, I will ask my parents, I'm sure they won't mind"

"No, I wouldn't want to be a burden on your family, I would rather just find another place" Naruto whispered.

" Hmm… well if you want a new place I know someone who has just recently bought property, he is renting rooms out and I think he has some spare, if you would like I could ask about it for you…"

Naruto looked up at Shikamaru with his big blue eyes happily.

" Y-you would do that for me." He pounced on the brown haired boy hugging him " your such a good friend"

"Ah!" Shikamaru fell back and struggled to get Naruto off him.

" The place is called Akatsuki house," he explained " and the guy I was telling you about is called Deidara"

" Dei-dara…hmm" Naruto said.

I wonder what that guy will be like, I hope he's nicer than my old landlord.

Shikamaru took out his phone and began dialling his friend's number.

" You can stay here tonight if you like" Sakura said her words drenched in sympathy,

Ugh! She'll hit me if I don't accept right.
