His looked amazed when he saw Naruto, somebody different than anyone he had seen before. He turned his head away shyly, and Naruto looked at the map.

"So, did you forget your way home?" Naruto asked the kid with a smile on his face.

He had always been good with kids, and the kid nodded his head and looked at the map.

"... I... I ran away... and I forgot how to get back..."

Naruto frowned, before he smiled again and he placed a hand on the map of the area.

"Well, I'll help you out then. Lets get you home, I know this area pretty well. If you tell me the last street you remember seeing, I can take it from there." Naruto told the kid, who smiled brightly at Naruto, though he was still crying.

-Much Later-

Naruto stood behind a lightpost as he watched the child being hugged by his parents, who were crying, happy that they got their child by. Naruto smiled at the scene, having gotten out of sight before the parents could see him with their child. Hiding from them, Naruto couldn't help the nasty feeling in his stomach as he watched the kid who ran away from his parents, get embraced by them so lovingly.

Naruto turned and continued his journey home.

Only, now, it the sun was down and it was much colder than it was before. Naruto toughed it out though as he walked towards the apartment complex, he lived pretty close to this area, with a smile on his face.

It only took a few minutes of walking before he was home, and he walked up a flight of stairs, before he came to his door, and unlocked it.

"I'm home."

"Welcome home."

Nobody said welcome home, Naruto had stated that himself in a moment of dark humor. Knowing that there would be nobody there, he had felt the urge to say it himself. Tired and hungry, Naruto walked towards the kitchen in the empty apartment, and he opened the fridge, before he groaned as he saw the state of it. Naruto just ended up grabbing the orange juice, since he had no food, he would just drink this now, and eat from his emergency food cabinets tomorrow until he got paid.

Well, hopefully that man will get back on his feet." Naruto smiled to himself anyway as he walked out of the kitchen after draining the juice dry.

His smile vanished when he saw his own unmade bed, and just how empty the entire place was in general, before he thought about the day he had, had.

Naruto laid down and went to sleep.

Today was just a normal day for him.
