A/N:

Ruki: It's just me this time. Shadows and Twi are currently trying to write Loyalties without me and just to let you know it's not working. The next chapter of Loyalties will hopefully be posted before this one but that's not a guarantee. This is a new fanfiction that I have written as a side project and will not have regular updates but I will see it through to completion. I will also be telling this story through Naruto's and Itachi's POV, so I have marked POV changes but I will not tell which one it is unless it is not painstakingly obvious.

Itachi: Can you start already?

Ruki: Do you want Naruto-kun or not?

Itachi: (glares) you win this time. (grabs Naruto and runs)

Ruki: (rolls eyes) Well here we go…

Chapter One

Senryou

Remember what you said you know, the part about

Life is just a waking dream

I know what you mean

But that ain't how it seems right here and how

How can all this be real

I can barely feel

Anymore

The Good Soldier, by Nine Inch Nails

I hardly remember anything before the age of five. The most I can remember is the tiny cage-like cell I was kept in. I remember that damp darkness being the only thing I knew in my life. Every day, all I could do was stare out the bars of my cell into the absolute darkness, hardly knowing the existence of light. For light only existed when the man brought me food.

I have no memory of the man's face for I never bothered to look at it. All I knew was that he was the one who brought me food and made sure I was still alive. There was no compassion in his presence or demeanor, only indifference. How I was able to sense this in my probable insanity, I don't know. I was already completely engulfed in the darkness that surrounded me constantly.

Then one day the light-bearing man brought another with him. For what seemed like the first time in my life I looked upon another's face and I felt awe at what I saw. Two eyes of crimson glinted in the dim light, standing out against the pallor of the skin that covered his perfect face. As I stared unabatedly at those eyes of crimson I felt a part of my mind come back to me. I could feel those crimson orbs pulling me from the darkness and dragging me towards that dim light.

I kept my eyes locked on him as he turned and nodded to the man with the light. The man unlocked the door to my cell and motioned for me to leave it. I stood up on my underused legs, and using the bars for support, I stumbled out of my cell. As soon as I left the support of the bars my legs gave out and I plummeted to the floor. I was surprised when instead of being on the floor, I was held up by two strong, pale arms. And then I heard the smooth rich voice of my dark angel for the first time.

"I'll take him."

I don't remember the man's reply. All I can remember were those crimson eyes staring at me with what I realized to be want. I heard my heart pound loudly in my chest. I was wanted and I felt like I was alive again.

"Can you walk?" he asked.

Could I walk? I knew I couldn't walk. I could barely stand, but I didn't want him to not want me because I couldn't walk on my weak and underused legs. I couldn't lie to those crimson eyes though and I shook my head no.

He nodded then crouched down, his back towards me. "Get on," he commanded and I responded instantly, clambering onto his strong back. I hooked my legs through his arms and put my hands on his shoulders. As soon as I was settled he started walking down the hallway toward a door I had only heard opened but never seen. Behind the door was another stone hallway that seemed to be on an upward slope. I clung to his back quietly as we traveled the hall, letting the realization that I would never be in that cell again sink in.

Suddenly we were outside and we were bathed in the light of a full moon. I stared up in wonder at the pale, light-giving orb in the sky and let its beauty fill my eyes. I felt like I could truly breathe for the first time in my life.

I had to admit to myself, the Kyuubi boy was interesting. Who knew that I would be so lucky enough to have a Jinchuuriki as my senryou, my possession? I had nearly had a maniacal grin on my face when I learned that he was for sale. But I wouldn't let my emotions show since I was still an Uchiha and Uchihas don't show their emotions. God, I hated my clan and their stupid expectations. At least this boy would be one aspect of my life the clan wouldn't be able to control.

When I had first laid my eyes on the blonde child in that cell, I had thought that his soul would have already been broken and had disappeared into a self-induced insanity. Yet, when his eyes locked with mine, I saw a part of his soul awaken. That enough made me nod to the man to let the boy out of the cell. I watched as he struggled to stand and walk, and when he fell I couldn't stop myself from catching him. It was then that I realized I truly wanted him even if he was weak.

"I'll take him."

I stared at him, taking in the surprised look in his big, azure eyes. I noticed a slight tinge of pink on his pale, thin face -and obvious result of the combination of malnutrition and a lack of sunlight- and for the first time I saw evidence that this weak child held the Kyubbi no Kitsune. Three whisker-like marks adorned each of his cheeks. They gave his face the look of a fox which for some reason fit him so naturally.

"Can you walk?" I asked already knowing he couldn't.

I watched as he debated with himself. He probably thought I wouldn't want him if he couldn't do something as simple as walking, but he also didn't want to lie to me. He decided that it was better to be honest to me and shook his head no. I nodded my understanding and had him climb onto my back. I then proceeded to leave the dungeon he had been kept in.

The boy was quiet not saying a word. I knew he understood speech but I wondered if he was mute. I wondered if he even knew how to speak. I heard a small gasp as we exited the long, stone hallway. I turned my head around to see him staring at the moon in absolute awe and wonder. I realized after a few moments that this was probably the first time he remembered seeing the moon.

A once dormant and sealed emotion suddenly came to life in my heart that I thought I had made emotionless. I recognized it as pity. I pitied the boy that he had been locked in a cell for most of his life not knowing the outside or even the pale light of a full moon. I pitied the fact that he had been forced to suffer an isolated and dark life for something he had no control over. But most of all I pitied the fact that, just like me, he was feared for the power he held.

I let him stare at the moon as we continued our journey through the sleeping village of Konoha. Only Anbu on patrol were awake at this hour, who I avoided with ease even with the boy on my back. Eventually we reached the apartment I had bought so I could house my senryou secretly and escape the demands of the clan. I carried him inside and placed him on the black sofa in the main room before I went to the kitchen to get some food for the boy.

As I moved around the kitchen making tea and warming up some pork buns, I felt his stare on me. Yet it didn't unnerve me for some reason that I didn't know of. It felt…natural. I carried the buns and tea back to the boy and set them in front of him. He looked from me to the buns and back to me with an unsure look on his face.

"Eat."

I saw a small flicker of joy pass through his eyes, another sign of his soul awakening, before he started to eat. Instead of wolfing it all down at once like I expected he would, he ate slowly and quietly, savoring each bite and sip. I watched him the entire time, automatically taking sips of tea as I tried to figure out this boy and his mind. His mind was a puzzle to me that needed to be solved and his actions gave hardly anything away about his personality.

When he had finished with his meal his azure eyes returned to staring at me. He waited patiently and quietly for me to do or say something. After a few minutes I asked him a question.

"What is your name?"

I wondered if he even knew his name or if I would have to name him. I could probably get away with calling him senryou for awhile, but if I eventually wanted to take him outside this apartment he would need a name.

"Na-Naruto," he choked out hoarsely.

"A last name?" I asked.

He thought for a moment with a glazed look on his eyes before answering, "Uzumaki."

I was curious about that glazed look but I knew I wouldn't get much out of the boy tonight. His mind was still in the process of coming back from the darkness of insanity.

"Well, Naruto, you are now my senryou and I am your master. You will call me Master or Nushi only when we are alone otherwise it will be Itachi-sama. Do you understand?"

He nodded. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a special collar (1) before I moved to stand in front of him. For a second I saw fear flicker in his eyes at the collar before an eerie calmness settled over him. I wrapped the collar around his neck then sealed the ends together with my chakra. Now only I could take off this collar.

He raised his hand tentatively to touch the collar. He looked at me not fearfully, but submissively as if he fully understood and accepted his position. I had thought his psyche would be afraid of any form of confinement after finally getting out of that cage, but then again maybe he was so used to confinement that his mind had accepted the collar as something natural and unavoidable. Of course there was still the possibility that his mind was still coming back to him and he couldn't process the situation past automatic responses.

Suddenly his eyes started to droop ceasing my thoughts about the state of his mind. As those azure orbs that had captivated me were covered by pale eyelids, I noticed for the first time the dark rings under his eyes. Insomnia. It was hard to sleep when you felt you were getting swallowed up by infinite darkness.

I picked him up off of the sofa and cradled him into my chest noticing how light and fragile he felt. So breakable. Had I made the right decision in picking him? His body felt and looked so weak yet his eyes held so much promise. I could only hope that his fragility had only been caused by his confinement in that small cell.

He kept partially open eyes on me as I carried him toward the bedroom. Normally I would have thought he was just being sure that I wasn't doing anything harmful to him. Yet those eyes for some reason felt as if they were looking at my soul, looking at the core of my being. I felt those eyes look past the me I let people see and study the person I truly was. It was unnerving to say the least, to feel you soul lay bare to those blue orbs, yet I kept myself relaxed. As I laid him on the bed his eyes closed and three barely audible words pass through his lips.

"…a good soul…"

Then I heard the soft, steady sound of his breathing. He was asleep. I laid down next to him, not wanting to leave this boy. I had told my father I had a mission and I wouldn't be expected home until the day after tomorrow. I could stay with my senryou. This boy was far too interesting to leave.

"He has a good soul, Kyu-san. You saw that yourself."

"He's still an Uchiha!"

Most would find it useless to argue with a demon who was a couple thousand years older than you and was immensely smarter than you. I didn't. Hence, the current argument between me and Kyuubi.

"What has that got to do with anything?"

"It has everything to do with this situation!"

I could see Kyu-san's fiery red fur bristle and stand on end. To see my normally stoic and composed mentor/father-figure pissed off to the point of visual anger was shocking and scary. But if felt I had to stand my ground and defend the dark angel that had become my master.

"How so? Tell me why him being an Uchiha is such a terrible thing that you can hate him even knowing that his soul bears no malice toward us!"

I heard Kyuubi sight and saw him start to calm down. He snaked one of his nine tails through the gold gate that separated us and wrapped it around me before pulling it back through the gate. He placed me next to his warm, furry belly and wrapped a few tails over me.

"I shall tell you kit since you are so persistent in the defense of your 'master.' I have told you that I was sealed in you by your father because I was attacking this village but I have never told you why I attacked the village. I was not provoked nor am I a demon that kills simply to see death. In truth I was being controlled when I attacked the village. I was being controlled by an Uchiha. An Uchiha's eyes have the power to control a powerful being such as I and this particular one held a grudge against the village. He used those infernal eyes on me and made me attack the village. This 'master' of yours probably wants to use my powers for his own personal gain and to do that he needs you since I am sealed in you. He's just using you so he can get my power."

I knew Kyu-san had some points that I couldn't refute but when I had searched Itachi-sama's soul I had found nothing but a soul that held no malice against me, only curiosity. I also saw that his outward demeanor was not who he truly was. There was a soul in there trying to escape bonds heavier than any chains and more constricting than the cell I had lived in for most of my life.

"Kyu-san, I know now why you hate Uchihas, but just because he is one does not mean he will automatically be after your power. I will be careful though for sake, but I still don't think of him as a threat."

"I guess that will have to suffice for now kit, but if he puts you in danger I will take over your body and rip him to shreds."

I felt a familiar tug on my mind as my body started to awaken from its slumber. I had no more time to talk with Kyu-san tonight, for I was only able to speak to him while I slept.

"I'll remember that. It is time for me to awaken now so I have to leave. Goodbye for mow Kyu-san."

"Be careful, kit. I'll be watching."

With those parting words I felt my mind return to my body. As I continued to awaken I felt an unusual warmth on my face. I thought nothing of it. Then I opened my eyes for the first time to bright sunlight. I screamed.

For probably the first time in my life I had slept in. As I started to wake up I noticed that there were a few things different than when I usually wake up. For one, I felt warm sunlight on my face coming through the window. The second was that I had an arm draped over something that I guessed was a lumpy pillow. Suddenly the pillow started squirming and making a shrill sound. I tightened my hold on the squirming pillow trying to make it stop whatever it was doing. It just struggled more until it finally bit me and I let go. Then I realized that pillow's don't have teeth to bite with.

I opened my eyes to the sunlight and winced. Then things started clicking. The "pillow" was actually the boy I had bought yesterday, and he had screamed because his eyes had not known sunlight for many years. I quickly gathered him up from the bed and placed him in the small, dark closet, throwing a blanket over him for good measure before I closed the door. I went through the apartment covering all the windows and making sure no lights were on before I returned to the closet.

I opened the door to find a slightly whimpering boy huddled under a blanket. I pulled the blanket off of him gently to find two watery blue eyes staring at me. I held up a finger in his line of sight and moved it left and right making sure that he followed it. His eyes followed my finger perfectly proving there was no damage to them. I sighed glad that no damage had befallen his eyes because of my stupidity.

"…I'm sorry master…"

It was barely a whisper that escaped his lips as he bent his head down and stared at his feet. I felt another emotion awaken in me. This time it was guilt. I felt guilty that he felt the need to apologize for something that was entirely my fault. This boy was affecting my façade and honestly I actually wanted him to. But for now I still needed it so I would have to strengthen it against him.

I lightly grabbed his chin and tilted his face upwards so that those azure eyes locked onto mine. He held my gaze though I could tell that he wanted to avert his eyes.

"You don't have to apologize. It was my fault for not realizing that your eyes are not ready for sunlight. You did nothing wrong."

His eyes flashed to my arm.

"…I bit you…"

I looked at my arm and saw the slightly bleeding teeth impressions in the skin. It was a minor wound at worst and would not scar.

"It's okay. You were only following your instincts because you were in pain and could not escape from that pain. Now come on out. It'll take some time for your eyes to adjust to the light. Until then I'll leave the windows covered."

I watched as Naruto nodded his head, stood up, and stepped out of the closet. I noticed that strength was quickly returning to his legs, yet he still looked unsteady on them. Hopefully by the end of the week I would be able to start training him.

It took a week for my eyes to get used to sunlight and to be able to walk naturally on my legs. Itachi-sama had decided to take me outside so I could get used to the village. He had given me a bath and some clean clothes to wear (he had mentioned something about them being his outoto's). He had also put a cream-colored liquid (2) over my whisker-marks, hiding them. That had confused me and when I asked him about it, he said that he didn't want the villagers to know who I was.

As I slipped into my sandals in the entranceway I could barely contain my excitement about going outside and seeing the village. I waited feeling impatient as Itachi-sama put on his black ninja sandals. I became tense when he stood up and walked toward the door. I held my breath as he opened the door and I stepped outside.

I immediately wanted to go back inside. There were so many people. And all those loud noises were unnerving. But I had to do this because Itachi-sama wanted me to. So I took another step into the outside and let out my held breath.

"Are you okay Naruto?"

I nodded. I was okay as long as I was with him.

"Stay close to me."

"Yes, Itachi-sama."

I practically glued myself to his side as we walked through the village. At times when there was a great amount of people or noise I found myself unconsciously clinging to his shirt. I wasn't afraid of these people and the noises. I was just unnerved and uncomfortable. I figured that after a while I would get used to it, but right now I wasn't and I wasn't going to hide it.

Eventually we walked into the market area of the village. Since the main road was clogged with people, Itachi-sama led us through the smaller, emptier alleyways and side streets. We passed by small shops with large windows displaying their wares. Occasionally we stopped into a shop to get clothes for me since I had none and other items like scrolls and ninja tools. As we passed one of the many window displays, something caught my eye. I stopped and stared at it not noticing that Itachi-sama had stopped as well.

What caught my eye was a tiny metal figurine of a bird that Kyu-san had once described to me as a raven. It was small enough to fit in my pocket, yet was crafted with immense detail. But the part of it that had truly caught my attention were the red stones that were set as its eyes. The stones were a brilliant crimson that I had seen before and I realized that they were the same color as Itachi-sama's eyes. This raven figurine reminded me exactly of Itachi-sama.

"What are you looking at Naruto?"

"This raven figurine reminds me of you," I spoke still entranced by it. Then I realized that I had not obeyed Itachi-sama's order to stay close to him. "Aah! Gomen Itachi-sama! I was supposed to stay with you, not get distracted and go off on my own."

"It's okay Naruto. This is your first time outside and I expected you would get distracted at least once. Now come along. I have one last place to show you."

I eagerly followed after him, though I was reluctant to leave the raven figurine. This time I purposefully clung to his shirt, letting him know that I was there. We left the crowded center of the village and headed for the less crowded outskirts. Eventually we ended up in the middle of a field dotted with trees.

"This is training field 61. Tomorrow you will start your training here."

"Training…?"

"Yes, to be a ninja just like me. You have the potential to be one of the great shinobi and I will not let that go to waste."

He turned to me and I saw the face of a true master. A master I would submit to completely no matter what. When I moved my gaze to his eyes I saw something I had not expected. I saw a part of his soul escape from the bonds placed on it. And then I realized that I was the key to freeing his soul and I would do it without a second thought.

"Yes, Nushi."

(1) I didn't want to put the description of the collar there because it disturbed the flow. The collar is of a thick almost leather-like fabric. It is one piece without metal pieces on it. To put it on someone you take the two ends and seal it together with your chakra creating a continuous band around the neck. It will also automatically grow with Naruto so it doesn't choke him.

(2) Yes it is concealer.
