Do Demons Cry?
Ch.1
Recollections
He stood at the edge of the clear water lake, just like he always did when he felt bad. He bent closer and examined himself, his deep blue eyes where clearer than the water itself, his skin was a light tan, and his golden mop of hair topped it all off, he brought a finger across one of the whisker shaped scars and winced, that was the only indication of what was inside him, did it have to be so blatantly obvious? Giving a sigh he stood and kicked a small rock into the motionless lake, sending ripples across the glass surface before muttering to himself, "Fuck you all…I don't need you!" He yelled as the memories of Cell 7's failed mission floated through his thoughts.
:Flashback
"Naruto! Look out!" he turned just in time to see the rock coming for his face before everything went hazy. He fell to the ground with a thud. He heard the clashing of weapons before another thud resounded next to his head, he looked in the direction to see a man. But it wasn't a whole man, it was just his head, the eyes still glistened with terror as its blood soaked the dirt. He staggered to his feet, trying not to look at the decapitated body part. His eyesight was returning to him. He could make out figures falling to the ground quickly, while a black haired figure, jumped in and out of them, a pink bubble was bobbing towards him, and he stood there, still dazed, "S-Sakura-chan is that you…?" He felt someone strong pull him to the ground as a whizzing sound flew by overhead, he saw the pink figure, Sakura, drop beside him, as soon as his vision returned he wished it hadn't, Sakura's body lay face down in front of him, a small, no handle kunai sticking out the back of her head…
End Flashback:
Tears stung his eyes, he blinked them away, she had died trying to protect him.
:Flashback
They slowly walked back into the city, each of them bloody, but two of them dead, Sasuke carried Sakura's body over his shoulder in a cloth that had gone red. The man they had been hired to protect had also died, their last mission as Genin's, they had really screwed it up, no he had screwed it up, as they made their way into the village, Kakashi met them, an unreadable expression on his face, both the boys however walked right past their sensei…
End Flashback:
The moment he had returned, everyone blamed it on him, "Why do I make it sound like it's not my fault…it is…DAMNIT!" He slammed his fist as hard as he could into the nearest tree, blood seeped out of his torn knuckles, and the tree was left with a large fist imprint.
:Flashback
"You little bastard! You killed her!" That's all the Haruno's had said since they had returned to see their daughter. In fact they didn't even seem that upset that she was dead, rather, it was an excuse to finally kill the demon. He had stood his ground in front of them, yelling at them as well, telling them how he cared about her and would never do such a thing, how it was an accident, all the while Sasuke stood by Kakashi and watched, he saw them occasionally exchange words…
End Flashback:
He stared at his bloody knuckles for quite a long time before making his way back over to the lake to wash them clean, instead he stared at the blood, why did it make him feel this good to see it? He shook his head and dipped his hand into the chilly water and waved it about, watching the clouds of red float in front of him, what was he going to do? The village had all but killed him, they had voted him out.
:Flashback
"Kill the little fucker!" Many cheers rang through the crowd, the Hokage lifted a hand for silence, "Listen! Listen to me! Quiet down! I do not believe that Uzumaki Naruto killed Haruno Sakura, whether you agree or disagree is at your discretion, however! I will not have any murders in my city! Do you all understand?" The crowd seemed to go quite for a moment, the Hokage stood in front of Naruto, who had been cornered into a wall, the Haruno's had gathered a mob to hunt him down, now all that stood in between him and the ferocious mob was his sensei, an old man, and his raven haired rival. The crowd murmured amongst themselves before Sakura's father stepped up to the Hokage, who had to stare up at the tall man. "Hokage-sama, we will not kill the boy on one condition, he must leave Konoha and never," he looked over the Hokage to the cowering Naruto, " ever return." The Hokage bowed his head, before turning to Naruto, he seemed to float as he walked over to the terrified boy, "Naruto, I…you…have been given an ultimatum…" He looked into the teary blue eyes, "You have to decide…" He needn't say another word as the youth nodded his head, tears streaming down his face as he fell to his knees,"…Uzumaki Naruto, you are hereby banished from Konoha…never to return…" He bent forward and spoke in just above a whisper, "I am truly sorry Naruto, but it's the only way…I will find you lodging outside the city…"
End Flashback:
Here he stood now, at a lake, a small cabin sat quiet on the other side, it seemed not even the birds were happy, it had been three year since his banishment, occasionally he would get a visit from Kakashi, and once Sasuke even visited him. For the most part though he lived by himself. From the news that Kakashi occasionally brought, is seemed no one was willing to forgive him, not a one person. This day though, would be the day that that would all change.
Ahaha! How'd you like it? Good bad, inbetween, ugly as hell? So tell me what you think! All feedback is appericated!
