The Unwanted Uzumaki

A World Apart

When Naruto awoke the next morning, he had a momentary lapse in his memory which made him forget that he was no longer in the library and instead in another world. This lapse almost caused him to start using his magic to burn down the room that he had woken up in and the only reason that he didn't was because Kurama reminded him that they were a guest within the Guild and that they should refrain from causing too much damage. 

Now that Naruto had regained his composure, he quickly made his way out of the room that he had been given and as he did so; Naruto could see that life within the Guild was going just as strong as it was before he had fallen asleep. The moment that Naruto was fully out of his room, his eyes were landing upon Romeo's form who at the moment looked as if he was being scolded by both his father as well as the Guild Master. 

Wanting to know what was going on, Naruto started down the stairs so he could reach the group. Thankfully, it wasn't that far of a distance and he was able to make it quite quickly to those he was trying to reach. 

Naruto must not have walked all that quietly since the moment that he arrived, all eyes were turning towards him. "Can we help you with something?" Macao inquired as he looked towards the blond Mage. 

Though Naruto didn't know what was going on, he could tell that it must have been something serious from the tension that was set upon the older male's face. "I was just wondering what has happened to have both of you looking at Romeo with such fury." Naruto informed the older Mage. 

Naruto could see from the way that Macao wasn't responding that he wasn't really wanting to fill Naruto in on what was going on and though he thought that it might be best if he left them alone to work through their own problems, Naruto didn't get the chance to since Makarov's voice soon spilt across the area. "We caught Romeo near the contract board and when we reached him, he was trying to stuff one of the contracts in his pockets..." Makarov explained though he stopped for a brief moment and once this moment passed, his voice echoed once again. "...we believe that Romeo was once again planning on trying to perform a contract on his own which confused both myself and Macao since he barely survived the bandit assault from yesterday." Makarov explained. 

Hearing this surprised Naruto as well since he was hoping that Romeo would live long enough for them to actually get to know each other. Though Naruto wasn't sure if it was his place to or not, he decided that Romeo wouldn't learn anything by scolding him and as such he would need some guidance instead. "If both of you don't mind, I will take Romeo with me today and hopefully we can come to a better understanding on this subject." Naruto explained as he looked at the trio. 

From the looks that passed between the two older individuals, Naruto could see that they were in favor of this and as such they both were quick in their acceptance by nodding their heads. "Thank you for agreeing though I would like to get ready for the day before leaving, so if you would keep an eye on him just a little longer and I will be back to collect him once I am ready." Naruto informed the trio before turning and making his way towards his room.

Even though Hikaru has been quite busy with both his studies with his aunt as well as getting ready to enter the Ninja Academy, there were still many times throughout his days that he missed his younger brother and during those times, it took all of his might to keep himself from falling into the darkness that had almost claimed his life once already. 

Today was one of those days that was quite difficult for Hikaru and to help ensure that he didn't fall back into his turmoil emotions that kept wanting to claim his life, he thought that it would be best if he went to speak with his aunt since she was always able to help calm him down before. With this thought in his mind, Hikaru was quick in his actions to escape from his family home and once he did; he was immediately heading in the direction of his aunts which seemed a lot more safe since Jiraiya had vanished from the premises.
