Naruto was busy hacking when dusk fell.

it was the night of Paraxis

...the end to begin

Naruto wiped off the buttery coating from his popcorn off of his fingers and continued to type at his keyboard the eerie glow painted his face with a pale and ehtereal illuminescence. He switched to eating pop corn instead of noodles when he got into computers. He was hacking into some secrets about the leaf village and he stumbled across something called the Paraxis Protocols. He had no idea whatt hat meant but he figured it sounded pretty bad, the sight he had hacked into didn't have the usual encrytpion of numbers and codes he had learned about but instead had a lot of weird looking writing and a acrazy design on it.

He printed it out. "This is will tell me more about the Paraxis Protocalls," he said to his boyfriend, Beast Boy, who was hanging out in his room.

"Yhea man," Beast Boy was eating a vegan buritto and he didn't have time for all of Naruto's crazy story.

Naruto look out the window and a teardrop falls down his face and the moon, just now peeking over the canopy of Leaf Village was rising and her pale tendirls of light shone through Naruto's tears for his inconsiderate lover creating a prism effect about the close quarters.

his tears, in the air, they sparkle

the moon reflects a cool shadow of emotion...

The printer finished its task and Naruto finally had the piece of paper in his hands. Sasuske and Sakura came into the room.

"What's that you've printed out?" Sasuke asked, his hair had grown out in the last year since they all broke up and now he had the ends off it dyed white. Naruto had also grown out his hair, it was 18 inches long and he combed it every day so that it was bushy and didn't get a lot of tangles. Before he had started going out with Beast Boy because Sakura and Sasuke had broken his heart the three of them had all been dating but it hadn't worked out and they broke up. But they're still a ninja team they're just not dating anymore.

Naruto held his piece of paper guility, he should have known the others would hear his printer going off and come to see what was going on, in the leaf village they have to be very careful about how much paper they use or the bad guys will find them. Also it was awkward to have Sasuke and Sakura in the same room with Beast Boy, his tummy grumbled nervously, he sure wished he had some more popcorn to eat and calm his nerves.

...in the night of this cruel deception

all hearts are hidden

Naruto decided to tell them about what he had found when he was hacking earlier, 'we're all on the same team here' he thought because they hadn't broken up that way... 'even if they broke my heart...'

He showed them the piece of paper. Beast Boy got annoyed that they weren't doing any of the stuff he liked to do so he left.

Sasuke looked at the paper and then Sakura did.

The strange, arcane symbol on the paper looked ancient and malevolent. It was made of a triangle in the middle and there are some lines that come out of the sides of the triangle and their all pointy, some of them end in open circles and some of them end in closed circles then around the circles are soem other spooky looking symbols like a pyramid and an upside down cross.

"Hmmm," Sakura brushed her wavy permed hair out of her face to get a better look. She had gotten a really intense perm and had even done the bangs and before that she had let her bangs grow out so long they covered her eyes. Also she dyed her hair platinum blonde and then did a cheetah design on it, but she left one pink streak inthe middle and she tied a lot of lavender and white feathers in the pink part of her hair.

Naruto leaned forward expectantly, Sakura was the smart one, she could figure out if the Paraxis Protocalls had been enacted or not. Maybe there's still time!

"hmmm," she continued to look, "yeah," she decided finally, "this is definately a demonic sigil." She declared.

yet some things need never be said

like sorry 'tweenst two lover...

Naruto couldn't believe what he heard. It was good he didn't have any popcorn in his mouth because he would have choked on a kernel, "do you really think so?" He asked, Sakura didn't say anything, she just nods.

Sasuke folded his arm, "the village council must be using the archdemon Paraxis to retard the procession of the tides!" He had it figured all out.

Naruto blinked, his jaw open, he is dumbfounded, "T-t-the tides?"

"Yes, the tides are where humans get all of their energy, to enact the Paraxis Protocalls is to slow down the blood flow of the human body, blood moves through each of us like the tides of a great ocean, and when all of our blood has slowed down we will enter a timeless and immortal state, beyond ninja... beyond god!"

Naruto had never heard of the Paraxis Protocalls but they sure sounded like a bad time. "That must be how the Hokage has found his way into such a position of power that he holds!"

Sakura clapped her hand on Narutos shoulder. She had never touched him since they broke up and the contact was comforting, "you are so smart Naruto, did you learn about that through hacking?"

Naruto brushed Sakuras hand off of himself, "Whatever," he said, he couldn't believe they were still crowding in his room.

"Give me that printout Sasuske," Naruto said, he reached out for the printing of the demon sigil and his sleeve pulled up in the process. He had cutting scars on his arms and now Sasuke and Sakura could see them! shit! Naruto thought, he didn't want them to know that they had broken his heart.

Sakura begins crying because Naruto beautifull arms are covered in his sadness.

Sasuke also can't believe what he is seeing, he gasped, "Naruto! I thought you stopped cutting!" He was fighting back tears and understood why Naruto never has the smile for him anymore, now that they had broken up romantically Naruto's heart is broken.

"Just go away, I'm done talking about demons with you two," Naruto said, he ran to his bed and threw himself down on it.

Sasuke and Sakura felt awful for treating Naruto so badly, they left their seperate ways, their eyes clouded with remorse.

all he wants is to hack a computer

but they have hacked...

his heart
