CHAPTER 6: BIRTHDAY PART 1

NARUTO'S POV

Wow. I feel awesome! Why? You already know. I think I am the happiest guy in the world at the moment. I was walking towards the school (I was wearing black jeans shorts and a white T-shirt and also I had two orange armbands around my wrists) as I was thinking about last night and what happened with Sasuke. Somehow I knew he loves me back but I wasn't sure if he really did until he kissed me at midnight. My assumptions were true but there's a.. I don't know.. I feel a little weird right now because I haven't talked to him since then and I don't know how I am going to react when we'll meet at school. Well we'll see.. It was just 7:30am in the morning as I reached the gates of the school when I suddenly hear somebody scream my name. "Naruto!" I turned around and there was a pink haired girl who was running fast enough towards me then she jumped on me almost making me fall on the ground. She hugged me tight as she said "Happy Birthday!!!". I could feel the tears forming into my eyes. How did she even know? "Thanks.." I said in a happy voice as I closed my eyes shut to stop my attempt of crying. She broke the hug as she looked at me. "Naruto, are you crying?" She said with a worried face. "No, of course not!" I said as I wiped my tears away with a bright smile on my face. She hugged me again and then she stepped back. "How did you know today is my birthday anyway?" I asked her and now I wasn't crying anymore but instead I was happier. Today it's my birthday! I shouldn't cry. "You know.. I'm Sakura." She said with a smile on her face while she was searching for something in her bag. "Where the fuck is it?" She said to herself. After ten more seconds she finally found what she was looking for. "Here." She handed me a small present box. My eyes were starting to feel with tears again. NO! STOP! "Sakura... I can't.." She cut me off. "No comments. You take it or I will kill you." She said with a smile on her face. "Thank you, Sakura.." I said as I approached her and hugged her tight. "You don't have to. It's your birthday after all." She said as she broke the hug and looked at me. "Open it." She ordered. "Now?" I asked her. "Yeah. I wanna see your reaction." She said with an evil yet warm smile on her lips. "Ok.." I opened the box as I looked in it with wide eyes. There was an ORANGE wristwatch with a SPIRAL on it's surface! Now I was about to cry again. Damn I can't control it. "Do you like it?" She said with a smile on her face as she put her hands behind her back. I couldn't answer her. I was too concentrated on trying to stop myself from crying. I failed. I let out some sobs as she approached me. She hugged me like 3rd time in this morning. "I'll take it as a yes." She said in a soft voice as she patted my back. "Yes.." I said in a crying voice.

We were walking towards our classroom. And again there was no one on the hallways. It was only 7:35am. There were just me and Sakura. "Naruto!" I heard a voice shouting my name as I turned around. "Kakashi! What is it?" I asked him with a worried face. "Sakura can you leave us for a moment please?" He told Sakura. "Sure. I'm going to the classroom, Naruto." She said. "Ok, see you there in a bit!" I told her as she left. "Well.." Kakashi said as he was searching for something in his bag. "Kakashi what are you-" I stopped as my eyes widened. I was about to cry again even if I didn't want to. He knows.. How? "Happy Birthday, Naruto!" Kakashi said as he handed me a small silver colored present box. I grabbed the present and after three seconds I jumped on him hugging him tight while I was trying to control my sobs. "Do you see this, Minato?" Kakashi thoght as he was hugging back his best friend's son and at the same time he was trying not to cry too. "Thank you, Kakashi!" I said in a shaky voice. "You don't have to." He said in a sad yet happy voice. "How did you know?" I asked him still hugging him. "You're my student! Of course I know!" We broke the hug and then I looked at him with a questioning face. "Are you crying?" I asked him. "No! My eyes just started to.. water.." He explained as he wiped his tears with his forearm while a smile spread across my face. "Well?.." He said. "What?" I said. "Open it!" He said in happy voice. I did as he told me. "Wha-" My eyes starting to fill with tears again. "Yup, that's a credit card." What?! "You have five thousand dollars on it and you can buy any-" I cut him off as I jumped on him hugging him very very very tight. "Why? Why are you giving this to me?" I said as I tried to stop my crying. "Because.." He started. "Because you are like a son to me even if I know you for a couple of days. You also remind me of my best friend. Unfortunately he died a long time ago." He told me as "his eyes started to water". "I'm sorry.." I said in a quiet voice as I broke the hug. I looked at him and he was smiling. "Yeah well.." He said. "Never mind. I hope you like it." He told me as he looked down at my present. "Kakashi, I don't think I should-" He cut me off. "Nope. It's all yours." He said as he approached me. He put his hands on my shoulders as he said "I'll see ya in a bit! You have English class now!" He said with his closed eyes smile on his face. "Right!" I said and then he left. He was probably going to the teachers' room or his office. "He's just as emotional as you were. I hardly can stand that." Kakashi thought as he sighed with a happy smile on his face.
