*Crash!* Naruto jumped at the sound of thunder outside his small apartment window. Naruto was afraid of thunderstorms, accually, he was deadly afraid. Naruto started to panic. He hated being alone during a storm. He headed strait to the phone. Not many storms occured, but when they did, Naruto would always phone his best friend Sasuke, the only person who knew of his fear.
