The Woman in my Mind
(Naruto P.O.V.)
Ever since I was younger, she was there.
She always listened. Well, I suppose she had to, but she gave me great advice, too.
I used to think of her as my mother. I used to think she was my mother, back before I knew who she was. She told me that no one would understand, that no one would accept us. I know I shouldn't love her, but you can't choose who you love, can you?
We'll never be able to be together. It kills me. I'll never be able to touch her, run my fingers through her long, silky, crimson hair. I'll never be able to wrap my arms around her and hold her close, or kiss her…
'It's just not fair!' I tell her.
"There's just no way, Naru. The seal won't be broken any time soon. And what would the villagers say?"
'But they all get to be with who they love! They all have that…'
"I'm sorry. It seems to be a privilege, not a right, and I lost that privilege."
'If only there was a way.'
(End Naruto P.O.V.)
FLASHBACK
"She talks to me Sasuke," Naruto insisted.
The young Uchiha rolled his eyes. "Naruto, you don't have a mother."
Naruto growled. "Yes! I do! I do have a mother, and she talks to me! Her name is Kyuubi. I wish you could meet her, but she only talks to me in my mind…"
The blond had no idea how stupid he sounded, but Sasuke, though he was only eight, knew what he meant.
"Naruto. You're saying that Kyuubi talks to you? What does she say? Does she talk about the destruction of Konoha?"
Naruto's eyes widened. "Of course not! Kyuubi's my mother, she'd never do that! She's a good person!!"
Sasuke sighed. "Come with me, Naruto."
It was time to have a talk with Sandaime.
END FLASHBACK
(Naruto P.O.V.)
Why do I have to be the container? Why can't someone else be? Then, at least, I could sort of talk to her face-to-face. Right now, it's either me, or her.
I know what she looks like. I can see her in my mind. I know she's beautiful. She's many years older than me, but she really doesn't look it.
Why did I have to fall for her, anyway? Why couldn't I just have stayed in love with Sakura-chan, or another sweet girl that isn't trapped inside of me.
It's so painful. To love someone, but never be able to be with them. It's like she's dead, but she's still there. It hurts even more, in a way.
Because she's in my mind, we won't be able to have kits. We won't be able to have a family. We won't be able to get married. We won't be able to live happily.
Why is God so cruel like that? Why does he punish me? Kyuubi repents her sins, she couldn't help it. She didn't mean to kill all those people. Now God won't let us be happy, even though he knows we have to be together.
A/N:
Is this a weird pairing or what? I just like it… I'm weird, I know.
I got the idea for this about five minutes ago, and wrote it just now. Yeah, the time I spent on this one is incredible.
Anyway, review. Tell me how amazing and/or horrible it is.
WAIT. Oxymoron. Never mind. Either amazing, or horrible. Yeah, it wouldn't work to be both. Maybe later I'll become God and make that a not oxymoron.
I need better grammar.
REVIEW!!
By the way, for any of you that are waiting for the next chapter of IWTOCTH, it's coming... soon…ish.
