I'm not the best write but this sub category is very small and I think it deserves to be larger so I'm going to take a whack at it.

Warning: Attempted suicide and BOY X BOY love later on.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, the series or the boy....most people at this point would ay 'I wish I did' but if I did the series would end in like five chapters with Sasuke (my RPG son btw) killing Sakura (grrr, I don't care what people say she's still useless!) forcing Naruto to face Sasuke and accidntly hits him in a vital area at which point Sasuke realizes the errors of his ways and then dies (so sad). Then Kakashi hooks up with Naruto the end. Oh and baa- chan dies and the make Naruto Hokage. The end, I don't care about loose ends that's what would happen if I owned Naruto.

Naruto: 'Thank kami you don't own us then!'

In The Mix: *sticks out tongue* 'At least you end up with Kakashi! If you keep being a brat I'm gonna make that into reality and write in a fic.'

Kakasi: *sighs* 'She's right'

Sasuke: 'Shut up dobe! She may be my RPG mom but she would kill me off!'

Naruto: *glares at everyone*

In The Mix: 'Enjoy'

Prologue

In the dead of night a small blonde child was sitting on a bridge crying alone. His skin was littered with bruises and cuts that were healing rapidly, in a few hours time there would be no trace of their existence but earlier they covered the entirety of his body. The wind was rustling the leaves hard enough so that the seven year olds muffled sobs could not be heard.

The boy stood up on the railing to reveal a small sharp knife in his right hand. He didn't know why the villagers hurt and tormented him or why he healed so quickly but never the less they did and he did and he couldn't stand it any longer. Now he found a fool proof way to end his suffering and he wasn't going to hesitate to go through with it.

He quickly pulled the knife across his throat deeply while jumping into the river beneath. This way even if he did heal quickly enough he would surely drown or die of hypothermia soon after. Almost as soon as he hit the water he could feel the sharp pangs from his neck disappear as he slipped into sweet unconsciousness for the last time.

Bad lighting caused the boy to squint. He was in a hall that was dripping water wondering if this was heaven or hell or someplace in between because for the life him he couldn't tell. He wandered around for a few minutes trying to figure it out but with each step he took the darker it got until it was almost completely dark save a red aura that appeared before him.

When the boy looked closer he saw a gate and behind the gate was the largest most pissed off looking fox he had ever seen. Its lips were curled back to reveal all canine teeth. The fox growled at Naruto but it somehow translated to words in his mind, "Naruto, you baka. I, the great nine tailed Kyuubi, can not allow you to die with me inside you. Lift this seal and I'll let you continue with your death."

"Where am I? What are you?" Naruto asked.

"Do not worry about that just lift the seal," Kyuubi practically purred.

Naruto nodded seeing no point in refusing but just as he put his hand on the seal some of Kyuubi's chakra hit Naruto.

Suddenly Naruto was thrown into a vision.

He felt much older physically but mentally he felt something he had never felt before that he could only possibly identify as, happiness and love. It was the best feeling he had ever known, he felt like he could take the world and nothing could hurt him because he had this feeling with him. The feeling that someone else actually cared enough about him that he had to live or that person would suffer.

As Naruto was marveling in this new found feeling a pair of strong pale arms wrapped around his waist, pulling Naruto into the circle of his body. Naruto stiffened up thinking he was about to get hurt but then he felt the tenderness in the embrace and slowly relaxed.

Naruto had to see who was holding him in such a heart warming way so he turned around in the persons hold to find a pair of miss matched eyes, one a stormy gray and the other a blood red with a scar over the eye lid. He had silver hair but not from age, just his nature color, and the lower half of his face was covered by a mask.

The man pulled down his mask and smiled sending Naruto's heart a flutter. The silver haired man pulled Naruto into a kiss and just before their lips met the man whispered, "I love you, Naruto."

"I know-"Naruto was about to say the man's name when their lips met shattering the vision.

Naruto was in the dark hallway again. Light was slowly starting to return when the boy looked at the fox.

"What was that? Who was that man? Who or what are you anyway?" Naruto demanded.

"It is not your time to know. We will meet again one day," Kyuubi said as there was a giant red flash.

Suddenly Naruto couldn't remember anything except that he had just tried to kill himself and was now lost in some hallway. In the distance he heard someone was calling his name so Naruto followed the voice.

Naruto came back to consciousness with a start, gasping painfully for air. He was soaking wet on hard ground and couldn't believe he wasn't dead. He was so sure that this time around it would work! He moved his head to see what brought him back despite the excruciating pain he felt at his throat. He had to because what ever did save him would get hurt.

Naruto's glaring blue eyes finally met worried brown ones. He was so confused at the moment that couldn't tell who it was until he saw the scar across the bridge of the man's nose. He tried speaking and it came out rough, "Ir…uk…a…sen-"

He was cut off when Iruka said, "Don't worry about anything right now Naruto. I saw you fall into the river and I jumped in and saved you. You weren't breathing so I had to use mouth to mouth resuscitation and your throat it was bleeding but it's already scabbing over. I'm gonna take you to the hospital now so just hang on. Thank Kami you're alive Naruto. I'm so glad I was able to get to you in time." Tears were welling in Iruka's eyes

Naruto's glare slowly lessened as he saw how genuinely worried his sensei was. Slowly his eyes closed as he lost consciousness for the time being but before they closed all the way he remembered the warm feeling and that was all so mumbled to no one in particular, "Thank you."

With that Iruka quickly picked Naruto and quickly ran to the Konoha hospital with chakra backing up his movements to make him go extra fast. He got to the hospital in two minutes where Naruto was immediately rushed into intensive care even though at this point it was almost unnecessary because his throat had weeks worth of re-growth already and he hadn't been in the river long enough to get hypothermia. The hospital still fussed over him anyway making Naruto return to wake up and drink plenty of hot liquid which hurt going down but after the second bowl he hardly noticed it anymore.

Iruka was with him the whole time trying to comfort the almost dead seven year old. At around sunrise Naruto finally fell asleep with the feeling his life wouldn't always be this bad anymore. That one day someone would care about him and maybe one day would start soon. Hopefully.

Sorry it's so short but the idea jus popped in my head. I'm not going to demand a review but anything would be appreciated, even the dreaded flame just to know someone has read this. Fanfic has shown me no love thus far and I think I may have to pick up my old fics where my muses have left me in order to get some...unless of course I get something here *hazel eyes glitter with hope* Thanks for reading anyway...not sure when I'll update but hopefully soon!
