Easier to Run - Chapter 11

 

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Nariko.

 

***************

 

Summary: Sometimes it's easier to run away from the pain and suffering in your heart. But if you had a reason to stay, would you? Sorry, summary sucks. Anyway, please review.

 

AN: New reviewers!!! Thank you to both of you!
First of all, thank you to Edward_Elric for reviewing. =P I really should update more often shouldn't I? It's definitely one of my goals -- not to procrastinate.
Another thank you to vorrec - Thanks for the comment, and thanks also for the tip! I have IMesh right now … finally I downloaded something that works XD but if it starts being annoying I'll try Ares. Also --- check out “8 Days Gone”, everyone. I'm recommending it.

 

Even though it's winter break, I'm still the procrastination queen and have VERY overdue homework. I haven't started to finish it yet but that's a different story.

 

Also --- I need to start making my chapters longer! My replies to reviews are getting longer and longer. Talk about inspiration. So thank you to everyone that's reviewed so far. ^^;; So I'll shut up mow and you can read my story.

 

Based on songs by Linkin Park, but that may change, I dunno…. Tell me what you think, and if I should change the band.

feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with

“Erm … this is my home, Naruto.” Nariko replied, blinking quite a bit, and she was confused at Naruto's confusion. “Why were you looking for me, Naruto?”

Naruto looked at the ground, a light blush appearing on his cheeks. “I was wondering … Nariko … would you be my girlfriend? Ya know … you're really pretty … and I really like you … please?”

Nariko just stared at him. “Naruto…”

“Nee-san, its time for din-- Naruto.” Sasuke appeared out of a door. “Nariko. What is he doing here? He's getting mud all over the floor.”

“Sasuke, don't get started on my boyfriend. Go to the dining room and start eating. I'll be there in a minute.” Nariko told Sasuke, a look of annoyance crossing her face. Hers wasn't the only face that had an emotion spreading onto it. Sasuke took one look at Naruto, turned around, and stomped out of the room. Naruto, on the other hand, had a look of delight on his face.

“Nariko-chan, you mean it?” Nariko nodded, and Naruto turned to Kakashi. “Okay, Kakashi-sensei, you can leave now. Thank you!” He said, pushing Kakashi out the door.

“Of course I mean it, silly. I mean, Naruto-kun sounds so much better than Naruto, and I mean you ARE cute, your whiskers are adorable --” She was cut off as Naruto appeared, kissing her soundly.

“So, Nariko-chan, you wanna go get some ramen?” Naruto asked after a while. Nariko opened her mouth to say that Sasuke was expecting her, but then closed it and had a better idea.

“Naruto, do you want to stay for dinner rather than going out to get something? I think it's beef or something that we're having for dinner…” Naruto's eyes lit up at the word beef, anything beef-flavoured was good to him (especially ramen), but then he sighed and looked down at the ground.

”What about Sasuke-teme? He wouldn't want me staying.” He turned to leave, and found Nariko blocking his way.

“I expect him to treat you as a guest. He IS my younger half by two years, remember? As are you,” she chuckled, “but that doesn't really make a difference. Come on. It'll be fun, I promise.”

“All right, fine. But one nasty word out of your brother's mouth and my foot will be up his ass.” Naruto followed Nariko out of the foyer.

 

“Erm … Nariko-chan? Do you know where you're going?” Naruto asked. They'd been wandering around for fifteen minutes trying to find the dining room.

“Oh … Erm … I THOUGHT this was the way…” Nariko blushed.

As a maid walked by, Nariko called out to her. “Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the dining room?” The maid smiled, and started talking really fast. “Woah, woah. Not so fast, please!” The maid smiled again and started talking slower.

 

“Hn. Morons. It's not that hard to find the dining room. You go out of the main foyer and take a right. Follow the smell. Jeez. Dobes.” Sasuke smirked as the pair walked in.

Naruto growled. “That's IT.” He jumped over the table and pinned Nariko's younger brother to the floor. “Teme. You should treat your sister with respect, she IS stronger than you, after all. And older, too.” Sasuke smirked and disappeared. A few seconds later, he was being held back by Nariko.

“For shit's sake, you two! Don't fight while we're having dinner!” Nariko yelled. “I hate it! I hate it hate it HATE IT! We're a TEAM that's supposed to be working TOGETHER! Now sit the hell down and eat your dinner while I go change into something else other than these damn training clothes.” And with that, she stormed out of the dining room, leaving the two rivals at the table. Alone.

 

Wow. I never thought I'd actually finish this chapter. *grins sheepishly* I've been really busy, so no chapter for a bit. I'm sorry, but my teacher is ebil.

 

Margh. Sorry this chappie was so short. I'm a lazy ass who doesn't do anything very fast 0_0;;;

 

Yay! Another chapter done. Definitely not sooner than the last one, damn it. Please review everyone, tell me what you think of my story, and if I should continue.

 

Thanks,
