Summery:: Sasuke has been gone. It is now nearing Naruto's 18th birthday and he released his inner self to the only person he has ever been able to confide in… himself….
But there is a shadow watching on the side...
Inside Naruto…
-
"Why? Why can no one accept me?" Naruto sighed as he stared mournfully out upon the glittering forest and bustling city below his perch, "I've done nothing to deserve their hate and scorn."
He lied down, folded his hands beneath his head, and gazed up at clouds flouting by, "It's not as if I was a mass murder…" He hollowly laughed, "I might as well be by the way they treat me."
"Orphaned and alone, not cared for by anybody." He smiled at the irony, "I guess the one good thing is that I know where I stand with other people."
His eyes drifted closed as he tried to push back the tears that threatened to break free, "One day I'm going to break. Soon… soon… I'm going to break and I can't even take my own life." A hysterical laugh escaped his throat, "Trapped, so trapped by chains that bind me to this place. I don't even have a reason to live anymore. I pretend everyday. A living facade is what I'm reduced too. I don't live, I can't live. Suffocated."
Naruto pulled out a kunai went to cut his wrist when his hand stopped obeying his order. He laughed bitterly, "Anytime the fox feels that I'm going to do something to myself she stops the part of me."
In a fit of frustration Naruto fling the weapon away from himself. It landed a few feet away from him and imbedded in the ground to the hilt. "If I just had one person, that person… the bond he tried to break. Ha! That basturd couldn't break it even if he actually wanted to. He can't stop the love I bear for him… I'm the only one who could stop it and I won't lose the only line in my worthless life."
Fed up, Naruto leapt to his feet, opened his mouth, and roared so loudly that hundreds of birds took flight and many other animals hid. The scars upon his cheeks grew sharper and predominant, his eyes became lavender, and his teeth elongated and sharpened. "WHY!!!" He screamed, "WHY!!!"
His howls shortened as he gasped for breath. He huffed and puffed until his breath became even. Naruto closed his eyes and took deep soothing breaths. Naruto tilted his head up to catch the sun's setting rays. His hair shone like gold and his skin like bronze. His voice was like rich dark chocolate as he sang mournfully,
"Blood so hot,
It burns through my veins.
Fog so thick
I can only see
That ray of light
In front of me.
Why is it
That no one sees
The person inside me?
Everyone in this life
Wears a mask
Like an actor in a play.
Only mine deceives…
I thought he'd see
See though me.
But even on bended knee
Pleading for him to see…
I believe
I can see
How his eyes stray from the sight
My lies
My sighs
My pleas
Blood binding,"
Naruto fell prey to the song playing within himself. Naruto had no control. Charka flowed around him lightening up the nearly pitch black sky. The nine-tailed fox's charka surrounded him and emitted red light giving Naruto an exotic glow. The fox's charka formed seemingly semi-solid tails and ears that looked right, like a part of him. Light on his feet, Naruto seemed to be a slave to his song. His body lithe and long slipping in and out of dips, grace swiping through his movements, his hips began rocking and popping, it was enchanting. The haunting song grew seductive and passionate,
"Oh,
I'm pleading.
Seal the deal
Take my heart
Take my pain
Let my blood
Your blood
Our blood
Bind the truths
We know so intimately
Take me
Use me
Please me
Make me into yours
Not just another sigh in the night
Please,
I pleading on bended knee
Save me
Take me
Use me
Please me
Last time
I couldn't handle
The pressure
The pleasure
Flowing through my veins
But now
Please
I begging
See me
The me behind the façade
I'm pleading
As I'm bleeding
Take me
Use me
Please me.
I was alone
Till you appeared
Now I'm yours alone
No matter what you say
My bond is stronger
Then your will
Forever will
My tie with you
Bind my heart
In the chains
Of my desire."
As if Naruto had no longer the strength to support himself and as the last word escape his lips, he collapsed to the floor in exhaustion. The outward charka receded, weakened by its disuse. Naruto slipped in to dreamless sleep.
A shadow soon fell upon our blond ninja. The shadow crouched next to the exhausted man and with long artfully callused fingers softly, gently skimmed the beautifully scarred cheek.
A voice husky from its disuse whispered into the night, "My Naruto, I'm sorry."
