Naruto's POV

"What do you want, sir?" I ask as I was standing with a note in my hand. The old lady told me what to put in her coffee as I write everything because trying to remember is hard.

Utakata is working as gracefully as he always does. He's just like a polite young master of a family. Often ladies come here just to gossip with him. His pale skin and dark brown hair which is upon his face that covers his other eye, is irresistible to the young ladies.Just as Utakata says, another handsome staff did good to his business.

"Are you new here, mister?" A even younger girls tries to start a conversation with me. I can't do the same knowing her intentions because she's a minor. I tell her smilingly,"Yes, do you want something from here?" She says dreamily not averting her gaze from my face,"Those cream breads will do."

I nodded before going back to Utakata who is working on the coffee. I complain to him,"Do something about that little girl. I'll go to jail if this goes on." Utakata smiles nervously and he says,"Just ignore her. She'll eventually go away."

Next day

"Mister, are you opening the bakery now?" The girl appears out of nowhere. Today is the day for me to open the shop. I smile nervously. I tell her,"Yes, you'll have to come back later if you are in need of something." I was trying to chase her away.

She says giving me a toothy grin,"I have time to wait. Can I?" I can't really refuse a customer. I tell her,"Yes you can." I go behind the counter. I put the coffee bean into the coffee maker. The bread problem can't be solved without the owner because he's in charge of that.

Soon the bell rings. Instead of any other customer, Utakata comes in. He soon notices the smaller girl with her long blond hair sitting behind the table eyeing me. The girl is pretty for a small girl but Naruto isn't attracted to girls her age.

The girl has gray eyes and she has freckles on her white face. She would be adorable if she wasn't like that. Naruto tells Utakata,"She's here for something, go ask her." Utakata nods as she heads to the girl who is waiting there patiently.

My life is going well except for the events around that girl who is lot younger than me. When most of the girls would turn to Utakata when I ignore them, the little girl would always have her eyes on me. This is a big problem.

After the not so exhausting day, Utakata allowed me to go back home to take rest. I bidded goodbye before walking home. The road is now empty and kind of dark. The people here go to bed early. Konoha roads used to be awake the whole night. I kind of miss the city life.

After turning on the lights of the living room after reaching home, I go to the kitchen. After Sasori told me not to wait for him or cook for him unless it's needed, I stopped doing it.
I went to bed after having a shower. I drifted into sleep right after my head hits the pillow.

A month later

Time is flying pretty quickly. I turned off every social thing that can connect me to my old life. I wonder if they are looking for me. That's no possible. After cutting every tie, they should have nothing to do with me.

It's not like I've moved on, not from Sasuke. I still remember his face vividly. His handsome face, his rare smile, the feeling of his skin. I didn't forget anything. I still love him. I wonder if he's looking for me. I know he's not.

"Want to have these?" Sasori says to me offering me the potato chips he's munching on. I tell him,"It's okay. Don't you have work to do?" Sasori says,"No, my friends will be here today." I speak,"You didn't tell me about it." Sasori replies nonchalantly,"I forgot."

I get up from the couch and tell him before leaving for my bedroom,"I'll be in my room. Try to be less noisy." Sasori replies not even moving his gaze from the television,"Alright."

I was trying to read a book as I had nothing else to do. Soon the apartment gets filled with all sort of noises. His friends are surely noisy unlike Sasori himself.

I thought Sasori would have friends who are just like him. I can tell Sasori is a handsome man. How come he isn't dating anyone? I shrugged it off as it is none of my business.

Then sudden the noise gets louder. I am trying to be patient as this house isn't really mine. I don't Sasori to kick me out. Then I hear the sound of glass shattering. Then I get off of the bed immediately pacing toward the door.

When I open the door of my bedroom that lead me to the living room, a very messy one. There is a girl upon Sasori's body. Seems like they are wrestling. Two guys playing cards and another guy standing there with a broken glass near his feet. They look like some city punks.

Sasori notices me and he looks completely unbothered. I speak,"What in the world is happening?" Nobody answers my question. Instead of a proper explanation, the girl who is still on Sasori's belly asks him,"Who's this boy?"

Sasori says,"Cousin." The guy with dyed hair stops playing cards right after he sees me. I feel so uneasy and now regretting my decision of coming to check on them. I tell them,"I guess I'll just go back to my room."

Then one of the guys stops me. The guy says,"Hey, I know you." My heart dropped. I forgot that I was a celebrity. I turn around. I stutter instead of acting confident,"I-I don't know you."

The guy says loudly,"Of course you don't know us! You are Namikaze Naruto. Aren't you?" My eyes were about to pop out of my socket. Everyone was looking at me with pure shock. I now know that all of them know me.

I tell them,"I'm kind of tired. I would like to go back." The guy yells,"Wait! Holy shit I'm seeing a real celebrity." I don't like this. I want the earth to swallow me right here. I don't want anyone to know me as that infamous football star.

I give them a smile as that is the only thing I can do right now. The guy says excitedly,"You used to play in Sai's team! I'm a fan of him you know! I wonder if you can..." I tell him interrupting him in the middle,"Can we not talk about this?"

His expression of his face changes. Seems like he got pissed as I interrupted him while he was fanboying. I can't stand anyone talking about that bastard.

He says,"What the hell? Don't you have manners?" I frown. I tell him,"I did nothing." He looks at the dude beside him. The guy beside him starts to talk,"Maybe he hasn't gotten over his fame." The girl in the room talks,"Isn't he like involved in that scandal? With.... Sasuke Uchiha?"

I clenched my jaw. She's clearly looking at me in a different way. As I'm some disgusting human being. The dyed haired guy says,"Yeah. I didn't really want to say it but..." Then he smirks. He says,"He's now famous as the Uchiha's...."

I didn't let him finish the sentence but It was the last thing that hit a nerve. I stormed toward him and punched his face with all of strength. I'm a strong guy. My built is better than him. And having that punch he falls on his butt. I won't stand anybody who'll blame me. I yell at Sasori,"All of your friends are rude bastards. Tell him to thank me that it was just a punch."

They were glaring at me. The other guy gets up and shouts,"You want a fight? Is that it?" He was about to charge but Sasori shouts in the middle. "What the hell are you doing in my apartment!" His voice stopped every movement.

The girl says,"Can't you see how rude that bastard is being?" Sasori says,"Get out of here." I thought he said it to me but he was looking at the girl. The girl looks surprised. She says as something unbelievable happened to her just now,"What did you say?" Sasori says calmly,"I told you to get out of here, all of you."

She curses and says,"Bastard. It's over between us. Don't come telling me that you want to have sex with me." Saying that she stormed out leaving the door open for the other guys to follow her. The door was slammed closed and after that was silence.

I sigh. Sasori was standing there staring at the broken glass. I have various thoughts in my mind. I couldn't think anything else except for one thing. I tell him,"I will leave after two days. Please put up with me till then."

Sasori looks up. He asks,"Where are you planning to go?" I tell him,"I'll get help from Utakata." Sasori says with his cold expression,"You don't need to. Stay here like you were doing." I tell him,"But your friends?"

Sasori says,"You don't have to worry about them. I'm apologizing on behalf of them." Saying that he goes back into his room leaving the messy living room. I sigh once again thinking that I'll have to clean all the mess.
