"I…I….I don't know what to think Naruto…." With that voice came nods from others in the room. "It's like nothing's changed and your still you…but then again, I might be staring into the eyes of…..a d…demon." A new voice took of from where the other started. "Maybe that's why you were always one step close or ahead of us, just a stupid demon all along" He strung out demon for a purpose, to break his spirit more than it was. Naruto's visibly flinched at what he said. His head looked down at the side, his eyes in the shadows of the messy bangs that now came to the rim of his nose. His company barely noticed the single tear that gracefully slipped down his cheek. He stood to leave. As he neared the door he grasped the doorknob with fierce delicacy, as if it might break on contact with his touch. He took a shaky breath before exiting the small soundproof room in the Hokage tower.
(fade out)Bet your wondering what happened huh?!?! Well…it all began 3 days ago………. (Fade in at Naru's apartment)
Naruto was currently trying to fix up the place from last night's 'celebration' for the eighteenth anniversary of the Kyuubi's 'defeat'. Along his walls was graffiti saying horrible thing such as 'go to hell demon', 'murderer', 'death to the kyuubi', 'monsters aren't allowed here, die a long and painful death!!', the last wasn't descriptable for the person was to drunk to tell a 'T' from a 'Q'. His bathroom mirror was shattered, floor and walls burned, sheets torn, waterlines destroyed, mattress…who knows WHERE the hell that thing is, table in half, chairs broken, clothes in a heap of ashes, and all his food was gone. To top it all of, he had a broken arm and a black eye. He visibly winced as the bone snapped back in place, but at least he could use it again. Okay… I fixed the door, windows, and the waterline. Then I gotta mop the floors and then paint this whole place, buy new clothes, a bed new mirror, new sheets…..great, there goes my paycheck. And they all ask why I want so many missions… "First things first, walls and floor. Then it'll look semi nor…" He was cut short by a hard knock at the door, and the sound of a foot tapping. Shit!!! I was suppose to meet Sakura and Sasuke on the bridge two hours ago!!! Dammit!!
"Naruto!!!! If you don't come out of this door in five seconds, I'm gonna…"
"N…no need for that Sakura-chan…eh he he!" He subconsciously leaned on his door. Lucky it had survived the knocking; it couldn't hold Naruto's weight and collapsed into pieces. Luckily Naruto caught the sides of the frame holding himself up. He gave them a cheeky hard to believe smile. "Let's just go now shall we?" He insisted but failed in the attempt to do so. For they already swept under his arms a 'Kay? Good! See Ya!!!" He literally slammed the screen door in their 2faces. Which was painted black for privacy…….it shattered…(lol) Naruto face faulted, and was now looking up into the eyes of the couple above him. (yes I put them together.. SUE MEEEE!!! Oh yeah you can't!! I have a DISCLAIMER!!! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaachoke…gasp I'm better now ……….twitches)
"Naruto" Sakura stated as calmly as she could.
"We want answers…NOW!" Sasuke finished for her.
