Konoha High School

Forgiveness

I lost Naruto in an alleyway and I walked to the end and sat in the corner crying and to make matters worse it started raining. "Oi" said a voice, as I looked seeing a guy with white hair and purple eyes looking at me with his arms crossed. I looked down and closed my eyes hugging my legs. "Oi did you hear me?" he asked, as I cried. "Go away you Water Imp" I shouted, as he growled. "You’re the one who should go away, your blocking their path" he shouted, as I paused and turned my head seeing kittens in a garbage bin, and then I looked to my right seeing it's mother. I paused getting up and moving out of the way. I watched and then leaned my back against the wall. The guy sighed and grabbed my wrist "come on" he said, as I looked at him taking me to an apartment, we went to the fifth floor and room number fifteen A. He opened the door and opened it for me. I walked in seeing a large kitchen mixed with dining area, a living room next to it, a door that lead to a bathroom and another leading to a bedroom. "I'll get you a towel" he said closing the door behind me. I walked in and looked at the living room it had a black leather couch, a big screen T.V. and a fish tank in the corner of the living room with tropical fish in it. "You can sit down" he said throwing a towel at me. I nodded sitting down and placing the towel over my head. "So mind explaining why you were in an alleyway anyway?" he asked going to the fridge. I stayed quiet looking at the ground. "Boy trouble huh" he said, as I paused and looked at him. He smirked while closing the fridge having two cans of beer in his hands. "Want one?" he asked, as I shook my head. He smirked and placed one beer on his glass table in the living room. He sat at the opposite end of the couch and I just looked at him. He took a sip and then paused looking at me crying while looking at the ground again. He sighed and put down his beer and walked over to me and started drying my hair with it. "You’re going to catch a cold like that" he said, as I closed my eyes. "It can't be that bad" he said, as I cried. "Shut up" I cried, as he sighed and closed his eyes. "If you want... I can lend my couch to you for the night" he said, as I paused and looked at him. "I don't even know your name" I said, as he smiled. "Suigetsu" he said, as I nodded, and he sighed. "This is the part where you say your name" said Suigetsu, as I nodded. "Mizuki... Mizuki Tarro" I said, as he paused. "I've heard that name somewhere" he said, as I looked at him. "Well I am in a band" I said, as he looked at me. "Nah I've heard it somewhere else" he said, as I lowered my head. Suddenly my cell phone rang, I looked at it and my eyes widened. I raised my hand about to smash it but Suigetsu stopped me and turned it off. "Come on get a hot shower and you can borrow some of my clothes" he said, as I looked at him. "Why are you doing this for me?" I asked, as he smirked closing his eyes. "Just returning a favour I guess, someone I knew helped me out a while ago and he said to always offer help when needed" he said, as I smiled a bit. "I guess I should thank him then" I said, as he smirked. "I think that cute smile of yours is thanks enough" he said, as I blushed a bit and growled walking towards the bathroom. When I was done I was wearing a baggy t-shirt and shorts that Suigetsu let me wear. "Can I use your phone?" I asked, as he nodded. I walked over and phoned home. "Hello" said my father, as I sighed in relief. "Hey dad I'm spending the night at a friend’s house" I said "Mizuki where are you... Naruto is worried about you" said my father, as I lowered my head. "He can rot" I mumbled "What?" asked my father "I'm at a friend’s house I'll be back tomorrow" I said hanging up the phone. I walked to the couch and put my hands in front of my face. Suigetsu walked over and sat next to me turning on the T.V. "So" he was about to say, as I raised my head. "Why did he do it" I shouted, as he looked at me shocked. "I had just forgiven him for lying to me, but that... that I don't know if I can" I cried, as he muted the T.V. and looked at me. He patted my head and just looked down at me covering my face still. "What... did he do?" he asked, as I sniffed and closed my eyes and I held myself. "I... can't" I cried, as he hugged me and my eyes widened. His hug... was different, firm... yet soft, but cold... nothing like Naruto’s'. "Try to get some sleep Mizuki" he said letting me go and walking to his bedroom.
