Naruto's POV

Sasuke Uchiha won't be home for a few days. He has a vacation to spend with his fiance. I have a hard schedule ahead of me. Life is getting busier and somehow I'm becoming unhappier.

"Naruto, take this!" My teammate throws the ball toward me and that I just missed. The coach yells from the other side seeing me not being into it today,"Stop slacking off Naruto! Pay more attention!"

After the hardcore practice, I feel totally drained. Deidara says ruffling my already messy hair,"Seems like you have a lot going on in your life." I look at him and smile lightly.

I tell him trying to wave it off,"It's nothing like that."Deidara says,"However, the next match is quite important. Cut it out and show your best." I nod smiling.

After coming out of the practice ground I see a black sleek car parked right in front of the gate. Then a familiar man comes out. What is he doing here?

He comes directly toward me with that sly smile of his. I mutter,"Yahiko."
Yahiko says seeing me giving him a glare,"How have you been Naruto?" He's really tall and his hair is slicked back. He has shades on and wearing a long coat. He looks like a model who came out from a magazine.

I tell him,"I've been fine." He takes off his shades and eyes me shamelessly. I know I look messy. The shirt I'm wearing is wrinkled, I probably smell of sweat. I'm completely opposite of him in this state. But how should a football player look after a long exhausting practice session?

"Hey! You were going to meet me!" I hear a high pitched voice and the owner of the voice is Sai who looks fresh surprisingly. Yahiko smiles in the most innocent way and says,"I sure was but I met Naruto on my way."

Sai smirks and says looking down on me being a little taller,"That's even better. Why don't we go for a drink?" I frown and tell him trying make up a lie,"But I have some important business to deal with today." Sai says,"What business? I'll help you later if you want. Just join us."

Deidara cuts in all of a sudden. He ends up being in the middle of us and starts to stare at Yahiko rudely for a long time. Yahiko doesn't look stiff or awkward. He's still smiling somewhat creepily.

Deidara sighs after stopping the staring competition. He says,"I thought I'd be able intimidate him." Sai snorts,"You should look at you height before trying to intimidate him."

Yahiko is really tall. He has a nice figure that you can tell just by seeing him standing straight. "Are you having fun taking a look at me?" Yahiko's voice made me flinch. I became red instantly. I stutter,"I-I wasn't!"

Yahiko chuckles. Sai says,"So, will you come with us Naruto?" I start to hesitate once again. Deidara cuts in. He asks looking curious,"To where?" Sai says to Deidara showing his annoyance without any hesitation,"Why do you need to know that?"

Yahiko stops Sai shaking his head a little. He says calmly,"I was trying to pursue Naruto to go for another drink with us." Deidara's eyes start to light up. He looks hopeful that Yahiko didn't fail to notice. Yahiko says smilingly,"You can join if you want."

Deidara jumps in being overly excited. He says,"You are surprisingly considerate. I thought you'd be cocky." Yahiko says not breaking the smile plastered on his face,"Is that so? Inviting you, will make Naruto more comfortable to come with us."

Deidara's lips curl up to a smirk. He says,"So that was the reason huh? Smooth." Deidara turns to face me and says,"Don't play hard anymore Naruto. I'm sure this guy will take care of us." He points to Yahiko after saying that. Deidara is surely bold.

I couldn't help but get into the car following them. But I can't understand why do I have sit beside Yahiko in the back seat while the other two chose to sit at the front? Yahiko seems to have thoughts about something. I am so awkward that I'm acting hard to seem busy to them looking at the blank screen of my phone.

I hear Deidara's voice. He's saying,"Why don't you play some musics?" Sai replies,"Yahiko doesn't like to listen to songs while driving." Deidara says,"That's strange." Deidara turns to face Yahiko and asks him,"What type of songs you'd like to listen?"

Yahiko looks at Deidara and replies not minding him prying into his life,"I like classical music." Deidara raises his eyebrows and says,"You look elite indeed." Sai says,"He even used to play piano back then. People liked to call him prince. It may sound cringe but he was like that back then."

Deidara says,"That's interesting." Sai says,"Even his main house looks like a palace." Yahiko is sitting quietly listening to their conversation about him. Deidara asks Sai,"Have you gone there?" Sai says,"Quite a few times. Those memories about his house are... unforgettable."

Deidara says to Yahiko,"Why don't you give us a tour of your house?" Yahiko says after breaking his silence,"You want to have a tour? That's nice but you could see things that you might not want to see." Deidara looks a bit surprised. He says,"That sounded like a..."

Sai cuts him off saying,"We are here." He stops the car and parks it at the right place. Getting off of the car, I was welcomed by a huge building in front of me. I mumble,"Is this a casino?" "You finally talked. Yes, this is a casino." Yahiko says appearing in front of me.

Sai and Deidara are heading to the casino leaving me and Yahiko behind. Shouldn't Sai accompany me knowing how awkward I feel around strangers? Maybe coming here wasn't that much of a good idea.

Yahiko pushes my back a little and says,"Let's go inside." Yahiko is following me from behind. Entering the building Yahiko leads me to the casino. This place looks expensive and dazzling. Girls with very little clothes, guys with decent faces and everything is neat and clean.

Yahiko states,"This is the meeting place for every influential rich businessman." I ask him,"Do you come here often?" Yahiko answers,"Yeah, if I have errands to run." I feel his hand circling around my waist.

I was about to say something but he says instead,"If you roam freely here, you might end up into something in a blink of your eyes. You need to be in someone's hands in a place like this." Why did his voice sent shiver through my body?

Yahiko leads me to a room. Yahiko says,"This is a VIP room." I ask him being a little fearful,"Why did you take me here?" Yahiko looks amused seeing my tensed face. He says,"Don't be scared Naruto. Nobody can hurt you as long as you are with me."

I ask him,"Where is Deidara and Sai?" Yahiko answers,"They'll be coming here soon." I was too scared to utter anymore words. Yahiko was seated beside me with his hand around my waist pulling me closer to his body. I can smell his cologne, a very rich one.

A guy came to serve some drinks. That guy didn't even look up to our faces. It's like he was obliged to look down to his feet and didn't have permission to look up to our faces. The aura was so different and awkward that I started to feel the urge to run away.

"You are early." I hear a voice of a woman. I look up and see a woman. Her mid length styled hair was blue or maybe lavender. She was wearing business attire. Yahiko says not acting surprised,"Nice to meet you Konan." The woman says,"No need to act formal here Yahiko."

The woman who is seated in front of me looks somewhat like an important person. She's gorgeous in every angle. Yahiko speaks,"Where is Nagato?" Konan says,"He couldn't come." Yahiko nods and takes a sip from his glass.

Konan's eyes falls upon me. I gulp feeling cold all of a sudden. Her stare is so cold that I feel chills. Konan asks Yahiko raising her eyebrows,"Who is this boy?" Yahiko replies,"You already know about him." Konan hums checking me out.

It seems like she's scanning my body, my soul. She gives the same vibe and aura as Yahiko. I don't like people like them. Sasuke looks mysterious and somewhat dangerous. But people like Yahiko and the woman who's name is Konan are confusing.

Yahiko hands make their way to my shoulder and I'm glued to his body even though I'm not comfortable. I'm too intimidated to protest at this point. I am curious about the woman in front of me at the same time.

I couldn't help but fulfill my urge to know about the woman. I turn to face Yahiko and ask him,"Who is this lady Yahiko?" Konan raises her one eyebrow and Yahiko has a smirk on his lips.

Yahiko asks me,"Are you interested in her? She's beautiful right?" I was about to say that it's not true that I'm interested in her but Yahiko stops me. He says cutting me off,"She is the mother of my child."
