Chapter 36 - Visit(5)

{Main Naruto POV - 7:20 P.M.}

Lilith: "La la. La la. Laa laaaa la la la. Laaaaa laaaa la laaaa. La la. La la. Laa laaaaa la la la. Laaaa. La la la laaaaa." Lilith was singing in the bathroom. When Naruto heard it, he kept his eyes closed and paid attention to what Lilith was singing. There were no words, no instrument, no background music and yet it was so pleasant to listen to. Naruto felt happy as heard it and it made him feel weird because no other songs or music could do this. He attributed this mysterious ability to Lilith being a Godly entity. Regardless of his thoughts, this tune was nice to listen to and so he did until she was done showering.

Lilith started wearing the clothes that were left by clone Naruto. It was a set of loose casual wear that would make the person wearing it quite comfortable. She wore it and went out of the restroom. Naruto saw her and was a bit surprised mentally.

Naruto: 'Seriously? She makes normal clothing look good too?'

Lilith: "What? Did I wear it wrong?"

Naruto: "No. You look fine." 'Fine? She looks way more than fine.' "Ready for dinner?"

Lilith: "Dinner! Yeah!" She became excited. When she traveled outside with Naruto, she tasted many different kinds of food but none of them compared to Naruto's cooking. Naruto chuckled at how adorable she acting and decided to take out the food. Once everything was ready, they started digging in. Midway through dinner, Naruto gained the memories of Clone Naruto that was stargazing and smiled. He was happy that he met that family.

Continuing to eat dinner, Naruto noticed that Lilith was a bit quiet. He looked at her and thought about what's wrong. Lilith felt his gaze and looked at him back.

Lilith: "I'm sorry." Naruto was confused.

Naruto: "Why are you sorry?"

Lilith: "For being selfish. I didn't consider your feelings and how much you cared about me. In doing so, I acted as a bad friend and I misunderstood you." She looked down at her plate. "I'm sorry." Naruto could sense the guilt in her tone as she spoke and he felt that this apology was very sincere. He showed a smile.

Naruto: "It's fine."

Naruto: "You didn't know and that's okay. You don't need my forgiveness for that. All I can tell you is that Naruto Uzumaki is a caring person who is also awesome." He puffed his little eight-year-old ċhėst out in pride. Lilith started giggling at Naruto's shenanigans and continued eating. Once they were done, Naruto showed Lilith her room while Naruto himself went to his bedroom. There was a small moment where Naruto had to teach her what saying Good Night meant and once she learned it, they said it to each other and Naruto started to leave. 'That was nice. Company is nice.'

[Yes it is.]

Naruto: 'Thanks for what you did.'

[No problem. What is the day today?]

Naruto: 'It's a Saturday.'

[Yes. She will come every Saturday.]

Naruto: 'Alright. I'll make sure a clone hangs out with her more often then.'

[The stronger you become, the more I can let her stay here.]

Naruto: 'Got it. I also understand why you only allowed one day a week too so I appreciate it.'

Naruto: 'Night Cain.'

[Sleep well.]

Naruto was sleeping quite well. There was no strange dream and this time, he was just peacefully sleeping. That is until he heard a knock on his door.

Lilith: "Naruto...are you awake?"

Naruto: "Lilith? Yeah, I'm awake. What's wrong?"

Lilith: "Um. I can't sleep."

Naruto: "Oh. That sucks. Well, we can spend the entire night doing something if you want? Want to watch a movie?" Lilith looked at strangely.

Lilith: "What are you talking about Naruto? I just mean that I'm having trouble sleeping. I don't understand it."

Naruto: "Oh. Ohhhh. Okay. Well. Um. How about I put on some music for you?"

Naruto: "Okay. I'll take your room then." She nodded. "So have you always had trouble sleeping?"

Lilith: "Not really. I don't sleep."

Naruto: "What? Then why are you?"

Lilith: "Because I feel tired."

Naruto: "I'm confused. This is your first time sleeping?"

Lilith: "Yes."

Naruto: "..." 'First time sleeping? That's weird. Wait a minute... could it be?' "Lilith. Did you feel hunger for the first time too?"

Lilith: "Yeah. It was really weird."

Naruto: 'Oh great.' "What about feeling tired?"

Naruto: "Oh. Then what about the shower? Did you feel dirty or sticky?"

Lilith: "No. Not really. I've felt the same as usual."

Naruto: "I see." 'So her powers keep her clean. That's neat.' "Well then, let's teach you how to sleep then." They went through many methods. Music, reading books, counting sheep, 4-7-8 breathing, slow breathing, mind blanking, lowering house temperature, making the room dark, Aromatherapy, positive thinking, different sleep position, happy visualization. Nothing worked and this went on for an hour. Many times, Naruto almost fell asleep because he was giving the demonstrations, only to be woken up by Lilith a second after.

Lilith: "Now what?"

Naruto: "I don't know."

Lilith: "Is there one you haven't thought of?"

Naruto: "I had a few but some of them were filtered out because it might be inappropriate."

Lilith: "Like what?"

Naruto: "Sleeping together. I read it in the library about how humans would share a warmth when they sleep together and that could cause sleep to be invoked."

Naruto: "Uh...are you sure?"

Lilith: "Yeah. It's fine. As long as I sleep."

Naruto: "If you say so." Naruto transformed into his ȧduŀt self and joined Lilith on the bed. They stared at each for a little bit until Lilith nodded in acknowledgment to begin. Naruto got closer to Lilith and hugged her. He brought her on to his ċhėst but she was still on a pillow. Their body warmth started spreading to another and drowsiness rose up for both of them. There was also something that they didn't notice and it was that Lilith and Naruto's lightning started to bond a little and it brought forth a strange serenity for the both of them.

As the quiet breathing of Naruto and Lilith took over the sound of the room, a peaceful atmosphere was created. Lilith and Naruto felt their body relax completely and they fell asleep together. While they were sleeping, they would unconsciously get closer to each other, seeking more of the warmth from each other's body.
