Long Lost Light ||A NaruSasu AU||

Naruto's POV

"So, Naru, how do you think we got here in the first place?" Asks the man that walks beside me.

"Working in a fast food? Don't ask me; I can't even remember what we did today!"

The dog lover laughs at this. We both continue walking on the cold streets, to our houses. At one point, he asks again :

"I guess I told you I have a dog?"

"Yes, you did. Why?"

"Well, he likes meeting new people, and you being the only one in that shit place I can talk to; I thought it may be a good idea for you to drop at my place?"

"Well, yeah, sure. Again, what was the dogs name?"

"Akamaru."

I giggle.

"What's so funny?" The man looks confused.

"C'mon Kiba, who names they're dog 'Akamaru'?"

He just rolls his eyes and the retort he gaves me has hints of irony :

"Who names they're fox 'Kyuubi'?"

We both look at each other, and then start laughing. We fell silent right after. The only thing we can do now in the cold streets is just walk, so we silently continue our stroll.

After some minutes of walking, Kiba stops suddently and turns right, into a crowded boulevard. I follow right after, guessing that he stays someplace near. But then, a specific sign makes me freeze.

"Midnight Boulevard*"

Well, shit. Wasn't Amanda Jonhson* living here? The famous actress that I happen to know personally? Oh God, what day is today?

"Kiba!" I shout after him. Some people give me some quick looks, but then just continue they're thing. The dog lover stops and looks at me, realising the gap that had formed between us.

"Yeah?"

"What day is today?" I ask, still not moving.

He seems surprised.

"Thursday. Why?"

Oh God. I remember that Kurama told me that Amanda comes home on Wednesday, and that she is "so tired after her 12 hours on plane that she can't welcome properly any interviewer".

And that is really bad for me, because that means she is having an interview today. And with my luck, it probably happens now. And if any of her interviewers seems me, I'm screwed. Because, well, after the decision I made in summer, I really try to avoid them. The cheerful, famous people, that, over the years, I had to met.

But, in order to stay true to my desires, I can't tell Kiba. Or anyone in general. So I think quick of a way out and, instead of responding, I ask :

"I guess you stay on this Boulevard, right?"

He just nods, still eyeing me warily.

"So, where exactly is your house? Like, it's here, at the start of the Boulevard; or is it at the very end of it?"

Kiba's face brightens, understanding my suspicious questions.

"Ah! Have you ever heard of the famous, and hot, actress that lives here? Amanda Jonhson? I'm staying right beside her house!"

Just my luck!

"Now, are you coming or not? I don't want to be late, 'cus it's almost 8 p.m. and she usually makes cookies on Thursday. She is very nice too! She brings us, her neighbours, the sweets that she is trying to make in that day!"
