Alone and Betrayed
"Why….tell me why Sasuke…." Naruto whispered to himself in the darkness of the hospital.
The blond had gone into a rage and was suicidal when Kakashi found him that day; two months ago. Sasuke was gone; he left with the villain Orochimaru; but not before he battered up Naruto and his dreams of bringing his lost friend back. Now the blonde boy sat in the hospital, over in the corner to where no one would bother him. He shook like a leave in a tornado and was sickly pale.
Naruto refused to eat, sleep, or even move for two day's straight at this point; muttering to himself about Sasuke and himself. The doctors and Tsunade where baffled, not to mention the rest of the village. The boy's spirit had fallen into a deep depression that no one could help him out; No one but himself. It was on this day that someone deep inside Naruto had also got sick and tired of the boy's mood.
A vicious growl came from inside his head, causing Naruto's eyes to close and his body to flinch. He suddenly stood in front of the gates of the nine tailed fox. Naruto backed up, his eyes widening at the growl of the beast which caused the earth around him to rumble. His reactions caught the fox off guard and worse, began to anger him. "What is your problem boy? Your usually yelling at me to give you power or to leave you alone and yet now, you stand before me like a whipped dog. You're a sad excuse for a ninja."
Naruto looked down at ground, unable to reply for a moment. The fox slammed a paw onto the ground, causing Naruto to fall backward onto his backside. "I thought you were going to become Hokage? You were going to save that insolent and arrogant boy from his own death and yet you sit here and act like the world has ended?….Do not ask me to save you anymore. I won't help a fool who won't help himself!"
Naruto shook his head, his blue eyes swelling with tears the screamed to fall from his face. "No! Your wrong! I just…"
But the fox wouldn't allow for him to speak anymore. The blonde suddenly was back in his corner shivering as if nothing had happen. "I just…." Naruto tried to speak again before he heard a creak of the wooden door; sun light bathing the boy now from the hallway.
Turning to look at whom entered, he sighed when he saw it was Kakashi. The silver haired Chunnin looked at his comrade with a pure look of sorrow; something that was very unusual on the naturally cheerful Kakashi. As Kakashi stepped inside; Naruto went over the fox's words again. ' I won't help a fool who won't help himself!' Closing his eyes for a moment; he listened to the hollow steps of Kakashi whom walked over and kneeled by Naruto.
"Are you alive in there?" Kakashi nervously joked.
"Alive…no…but I'm not dead!" Naruto said, whirling around with a snarl that caused his sensei to jump up five feet away from the blonde.
"Wha- Naruto your making no sense…." Kakashi said raising a brow before walking back over to the blonde whom now had the look of pure anger in his eyes.
"Sasuke's gone…and he took my happiness with him…" Naruto explained, "So that Naruto may be dead….but I'm not…and I'm going to bring that bastard back; come hell or high water!"
Standing; the young genin walked out of the hospital; snarling at all those whom denied him access to the outside. He was going to bring back Sasuke, and when he did; the boy was in for a world of pain.
