Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto…although like many others I wouldn't mind

Warnings: Yaoi, violence, sexual themes, blah blah blah, those who have read my stories before should have an idea, and those who haven't…well, have fun learning what I'm like

This is being written for makacatori…so the idea is not mine, I'm just typing it

Naruto tilted his head slightly has he felt something brush the side of his face, 'again?' he thought. For as long as he could remember he always felt hands brush up against him, the thing that freaked him out…was the fact that there was no one there. Usually what followed the hands were voices whispering to him.

When he was younger, he didn't know what to make of it, as he grew older…he begin to question his sanity. And now…it was something he became used to, that didn't mean that he liked it. Sometimes, it begin to be too much for him…when he was younger and it became too much, one voice would command the others to leave…he liked to think of that voice as his guardian angel. However, as he grew the voice slowly vanished until he never heard it anymore,

"So much for having a guardian angel" he mumbled to himself, he had liked hearing that voice, for some reason it sounded a lot like his Kaa-san and he wondered if it really was her. He felt hands grab him, as if trying to hold him in place, and as usual voices came next, "learn, learn" was all they said. Naruto snorted to himself, 'always the same things' he thought 'ever since I could understand'

When Naruto was a baby, the Sandaime tried to find someone willing to take him in…or rather someone who would take him in and not try to kill him. He sighed; it looked like he was going to have to put him in the orphanage after all. Just as he resigned himself to putting him in the orphanage, a lady came up to him.

"Hokage-sama" she bowed, "I heard you were looking for someone to watch the boy, I've always wanted a child, if you allow it I will raise him" she looked into his eyes, "I understand that you worry I won't be kind to him…but I can only give you my word I will not"

Sarutobi looked at her for a while in thought, others who overheard the exchanging watching and wondering who this person was that they would take in the Kyuubi, finally Sarutobi nodded and handed her the baby, "I'm trusting you on your word, but all the same…I would like to check up on him" she nodded,

"Of course Hokage-sama"

He smiled, "well then, may I know the name of the one raising him?" she blushed, bowing again "sorry, my name is Haya, if you excuse me, I want to get the little one home"

Sarutobi nodded, "of course" watching as she walked away, he remembered that she was from another village and like once before wondered if she and the assassin known as Suki were one in the same.

"Kaa-san" a little Naruto crawled over to her; she picked him up and placed him on her lap,

"What is it baby?"

"Someone touched me, no one was there though" Haya paled as she heard this

"the hands that touched you…were there voices too" she kept her voice light, he shook his head, and she sighed, "I wouldn't worry about it Naruto" she smiled, "perhaps the wind was playing a trick on you, just like in that story I told you"

He nodded, "tell me?" he asked, she situated him better on her lap, "well, it started thousands of years ago…"

Naruto watched as his Kaa-san killed the people who tried to hurt him, of course, he didn't know she killed him, but thought she had knocked them out, he never knew why people hated him and wanted to hurt him, but his Kaa-san always protected him so he didn't give it much thought.

Haya sighed as she killed the last one, 'these people are so foolish' she thought, 'if he was the Kyuubi, no doubt he would have killed them already'

"Naruto, I've just decided to begin teaching you the basic of my style, I know your young, but you need a way to defend yourself, we'll start tomorrow" Naruto nodded his head, "your smart I know you'll make me proud and learn quick, by the end of this year, I expect you to at least master half of the style…you'll be able to protect yourself when I'm not there, but you can't tell anyone, promise Naruto-kun"

"I promise Kaa-san"

"Naruto, come on" Haya said as she slipped on a light jacket and held his up,

"Where are we going Kaa-san?"

"I promised you we'd go to the park today" she paused, "unless of course you don't want to go anymore" she hid her grin behind her hand as he quickly started to pull his shoes on, while trying to walk at the same time.

Once at the park, Naruto immediately took off to play on the swings, the other kids near there being pulled away by their parents, seeing this Haya narrowed her eyes. 'Foolish people' she thought as she sat on a near by bench.

But like everything, even the day must end and so Haya called Naruto back to her, hoping to make it back to their house before dark. She didn't trust those women who after talking looked too smug for her taste.

Almost home, they were stopped by shinobi who demanded that she had over the 'Kyuubi' looking around she quickly noticed that there were more coming and civilians as well.

"Naruto" she knelt down on one knee, "listen closely and do exactly what I say" she waited for him to nod his head, "when I tell you too, you need to run as fast as you can and don't look back, run to our house and make sure everything's locked, can you do that for me?" Naruto nodded, looking scared,

"But what about you Kaa-san"

She smiled; "it'll be ok" gave him a hug and quick kiss on his forehead, before standing up. She quickly went into a taijustu stance, "run Naruto" with that he took off, never looking back, just like his Kaa-san said. He ran to their home and quickly locked the door and checked to make sure the windows were locked with that he crawled in his Kaa-sans' bed and pulled the covers over his head.

Later a knock on the door woke him up, he hesitated, what if it was some of the mean people here to hurt him. He quietly walked to the door, "who is it?"

"Naruto"

"Hokage!" Naruto quickly unlocked the door and ushered him inside, locking the door behind him. Turning around he saw that Sarutobi had a sad look on his face,

"Naruto-kun, I'm sorry, but it seems that your Kaa-san can not be found, I was able to get witnesses to say that she indeed was fighting and leading them away, however, nobody seems to know what happened her"

He paused as he saw tears gather in Naruto's eyes, "so Kaa-san is dead?" he asked softly

Sarutobi gathered Naruto in his arms, "no one is sure, we didn't find a body, so she could still be alive"

Naruto shook his head, jumping out of his arms, "my Kaa-san wouldn't just leave me!" he shouted,

"She would have come back for me! I know she would have!"

With that Naruto turned and ran to Haya rooms, once again gathering under the covers, suppressed sobs making their way to Sarutobi who sighed, 'I am truly sorry Naruto' he thought as he settled himself on the couch.

And it is with this that Naruto's story began.

A/N: I know Naruto wasn't talking baby talk or whatever, but I can't type it like that, so use your imagination
