Chapter I

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of it's characters

A blond haired teen sat his desk, his room messy but organized. His journal open and pen in hand, he wrote in the book "Dear Journal, Tsunade thinks I'm crazy but I know I'm not, the pills aren't keeping the voice away. He just laughs when I take them, It's weird but I think I've heard his voice before, along long time ago. Maybe when I was still in the orphanage, but back then I only had one friend, he was adopted and moved far away I can't remember his name anymore."

The blond stops writing still trying to remember the boy from nearly thirteen years before. Sighing the boy closed the journal covered with foxes and placed it in his desk, looking at the small pile of homework he started on his math as odd as it seemed the voice had said nothing today and it kind of had him worried. The Voice seemed to always make it's presence known to him, never anyone else, his therapist told him he was schizophrenic, that the voice was in his head and if the voice said anything or to do anything dangerous to call her immediately.

The Bodiless voice told him not to worry right after that "If I need anything done, I'll do it myself" and that was that. It wasn't bad per Se, in fact it was kind of comforting in a weird way his mind was giving him someone to talk to. The Voice said his name was Aki, and always called him Naru for some reason but he went along with it, there was no use arguing with Aki he'd win anyway, he always did. A knocking on the door brought the boy out of his musings "Naruto, Dinner time!" Iruka's, his guardian, voice rang through the door "Ok I'll be down in a minute!" Naruto yelled back and quickly put away his nearly complete homework.

He walked into the bathroom and washed his hands before heading down the cherry wood stairs and into the small but cozy kitchen, Iruka smiles "Have you taken your pills today?" Naruto just nods. Shifting through the cupboards and placing the plates and silverware down Iruka serves the food, Naruto sits quietly in his chair watching his foster dad. He moved with an odd kind of grace, one developed unnoticed by the man that possessed it, it only added to the man's mother-hen complex. Iruka sat down and began eating, Naruto quietly followed, the clanking of forks against plates sounded around the room.

Iruka looked at the quiet Naruto which was rare but he seemed deep in thought, clearing his throat to get the younger's attention "so how was school today?" he asked his voice a little nervous, it had been nervous since the first day Naruto said something about the voice "...Fine" was all he said. Iruka instantly knew he was lying but didn't press any further opting to finishing their food in awkward silence, Standing Iruka gathered his dishes and the pans from the stove.

Placing them in one side of the sink he ran hot water in the other adding soap "your older brother called today, he's coming to visit in a couple of days." Iruka said in a calm even voice, Naruto just snorted he hadn't talked to his brother in years not after he found out what happened. Sighing Iruka looked at Naruto "please don't run off again, I know you don't see eye to eye but please? It's the first time his been home in months" his voice pleading. Naruto looked the other way "fine" he stands leaving his half empty plate on the table.

Going into his room he slams the door shut and plops onto his bed 'it was his fault in the first place' silent tears rolled down his face 'They shouldn't have died' he curls himself tightly into a ball and falls asleep.
