New Beginnings NOW COMPLETE

Ding dong
Kani answered the door, “Oh hey Sasuke. Torya he brought the blonde!” he yelled out, “Come on in guys.”

Sasuke strolled in followed by Sakura and a stricken looking Naruto.
“Don’t worry blondie, he’s harmless,” Kani assured Naruto.

“Sorry I forgot, Kani this is Sakura and Naruto, guys this is Kani,” Sasuke introduced them as they walked into the kitchen area.

“Nice to meet you,” Sakura said politely.

“Nico you didn’t tell me his friend was hot,” Kani complained.

“No but I told you she was going out with Ryo!” Nico said pointedly, “Hi Sassi, Naruto. You must be Sakura.”

“Nice to finally meet you,” Sakura smiled.

“Hi Sasuke,” Ria said from the stove, “I’m Ria, Nico’s mother. Make yourselves at home.”

“Thank you, I’m Sakura and this is Naruto,” Sakura told her, smiling at the woman’s strange attire. She had slippers on which looked like ships and apron on over her clothes which said ‘I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, but when it’s gone I’ll drink the red.’ The strangest thing about it was that it was on backwards.

“She always wipes her hands on her back when she’s cooking,” Nico explained.

“Oooh you brought the blonde!” Torya squealed as he walked into the kitchen, “He’s even cuter up close! Hi I’m Torya.”

“Um hi I’m Naruto,” the blonde boy said uncomfortably.

“Tor honey you’re making him uncomfortable,” a tall, muscular guy with long wavy blonde hair scolded as he entered the kitchen.

“But he’s so cute!” Torya pouted, “This is my boyfriend Jules.”

“Hi everyone, sorry we can’t eat with you tonight but we already have plans,” Jules told them apologetically.

“Oh well I’m glad I finally got to meet you Naruto, everyone has been talking about you!” Torya gushed.

“Um thanks, I think…” Naruto said, slightly confused. Sasuke remembered his first meeting with Torya and grinned.

“You’re welcome hun,” Tor beamed.

“Come on, leave him alone, he’s Sasuke’s,” Jules said pulling his boyfriend towards the door.

“He’s not my-”
“I’m not his-”
Sasuke and Naruto protested at the same time.

“Well you should be. You’re a hot couple,” Jules advised, “Good night everyone!”

“Night guys,” Nico said, “Diran and Mikel are through here playing a board game.”
She led them into the lounge room where Diran and another boy were playing a game.

“It’s your turn sis,” the blonde boy informed her.

“Oh guys this is Mikel my other brother, Mikel this is Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura,” Nico introduced sitting down.

“Well this looks very…wholesome,” Sasuke said raising an eyebrow.

“Ah you say that now but just wait til we break out the drugs and alcohol and get the sex happening,” Nico commented dryly as she rolled the dice. All three ninja turned bright red.

Diran laughed, “Come sit down we can play teams, its only Pictionary.”

Sasuke joined Mikel’s team, Naruto went with Nico and Sakura played with Diran.
Nico and Naruto won by a mile.
“How can you guys be so in sync?” Mikel complained.

They exchanged glances.
“They’re just very similar,” Sasuke told him, “Naruto is the male version of your sister.”

“And that’s why you love me,” the girl smirked.

The Uchiha glared, “Which is why I’ve been trying to get rid of you all week.”

“It’s only Tuesday,” Diran commented.

“It feels like centuries,” the brunette boy groaned and everyone laughed, Nico poked her tongue out.

“Dinner’s ready!” Ria called out.


“Ria your cooking is incredible!” Sakura told the woman.

“You just wait til you try my ramen,” she winked.

“Ramen?!” Naruto and Nico squealed together, Sasuke laughed.

“Figures,” he said looking at the pair.

“A girl after my own stomach,” Naruto grinned.

“So Naruto, how did you get the scars?” Nico asked curiously.

“You know, I have no idea. I’ve just always had them I guess,” the blonde boy told her honestly.

“They’re kinda cool, different I guess,” Diran said staring at them.

“Like he really needs them to stand out,” Sasuke commented.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Sakura asked.

Sasuke was caught half way through a mouthful like a deer in headlights. He blushed, “Well I mean he already grabs attention. I mean you saw how Torya reacted.”

“Oh you mean he’s hot,” Nico said casually and Sasuke’s face discovered a new shade of red.

“Stop teasing him,” Naruto scolded, “Everyone knows I’m hot.”

“And modest too,” Sakura commented raising an eyebrow.

“I know I am, what can I say? I am good,” Naruto shrugged.

“Well who wants dessert?” Ria asked them to a resounding ‘me’.


“Man I am stuffed,” Diran told them.

“I reckon I could go another round,” Naruto said eyeing the table.

“Oh no you don’t” Sakura told him, “Use your manners.”

“Besides I think your stomach is on the verge of exploding,” Sasuke commented.

“Is that a challenge?” the blonde asked cheekily.

“No way, if you eat more I’ll have less leftovers!” Nico told him very seriously.

Her mother slapped her over the back of her head as she walked past, “Don’t be so rude Nico! They can have as much as they like.”

“No that’s alright Ria,” Naruto pouted, “Although everything was absolutely delicious and I think your ramen might possibly be the best I have ever tasted.”

Sasuke and Sakura gasped, “That is the biggest compliment possible!”

“Thank you dear, all of you are welcome around here any time. We’re very informal so if you ever want to come over just walk in, I’m used to it,” Ria beamed, “Now I’ll leave you kids be.”

“Mum we’re not kids!” Mikel whined.

“You sound like one,” Diran told him.

“And so does your mother,” Mikel told him.

“You’re so stupid,” Nico sighed, “Come on who’s up for singstar?”


“Wow I can’t believe you actually sang,” Naruto said to Sasuke as the three teenagers walked home.

“Why not? It was my turn,” Sasuke shrugged.

“Yeah but you were…”

“Awesome!” Sakura interrupted, “Why didn’t you tell us you could sing?”

“There’s a lot of things you guys don’t know about me,” Sasuke commented as they walked inside to find Iruka fully dressed and Kakashi in boxer shorts.

“What the hell?” Sakura asked, horrified.

“Who knew Iruka was so good at strip poker?” Kakashi asked lightly.

“I knew he was good at regular- holy cow where’s your mask!?” Naruto yelled.

Kakashi pouted, “Yeah if I knew he was this good I wouldn’t have suggested it.”

Sasuke laughed, “Well if you’ll excuse me I have another memory to block out.”
With that the brunette boy walked up the stairs, the other two students hesitated then followed him.


“So Naruto,” Sasuke grinned as he sat down on his bed, “What are you like at poker?”

“Not tonight, it’s late and I’m tired,” Naruto yawned.

“Another time then?”

“Good night Sasuke.”

The Uchiha sighed, “Well you’re no fun.”


Naruto woke up shivering, everything was still dark. He rolled up in his blanket but he couldn’t get warm. He sighed and sat up, there was only way he was going to be sleeping tonight. He picked up his blanket and walked over to the other bed.
“Move over bastard,” he said grumpily, he would hear all about it in the morning. He rolled the boy over and climbed under the blanket, adding his own over top. He snuggled down under the blankets.
“Damn you’re warm,” he whispered.

“I know,” Sasuke replied wrapping his warms arms around the freezing blonde.

“This is only cuz I’m cold,” Naruto growled.

“I know, doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy it,” the brunette replied sleepily, “Night.”

“Night.”
