Naruto is not mine.

He lies there staring at the cloudless blue skies. A shadow of a huge nine tailed fox looming over him. The stench of blood filled the air; the rubble and hard soil beneath his back is soaked with the sticky red substance. "Kitsune…" he whispered. His voice soft and raspy. Uzumaki Naruto weakly tries to raise his hand to reach the reddish gold fur over him. Kyubbi no kitsune bends over him and nuzzled his hand. He chuckled. "Who would have thought it would end like this neh kyubbi?" he did it. He finally destroyed konohagauke and spared no one. When sasuke betrayed him and attempted to kill him at the age of twelve, his already weak convictions cracked and shattered to pieces. He left. With thoughts of revenge, memories fueling him at every punch, every kick, every technique he practiced The assassination attempt on him at the age of four, the molestation when he was seven, the mistrust, the cold eyes, the anger, the mask and finally the betrayal. In the end, when he faced the gates at his return, all hatred died down leaving the bitter taste of guilt at what he was about to do and regret for the things that would have happened if he didn't gave up. Right here now, facing where it all began. He couldn't do it. What he thought he wanted, what he thought he needed, he turned around to leave with thoughts of revenge stamped over and buried beneath the ground.
The leaves moved, he paused and licked his lips as they curled to a disgusted snarl. The fools. They tried to kill him once more. His hands clenched and shaking with silent fury, his now icy blue ice burning in cold fire, he questioned himself as he kill. 'Would things have been different if I stayed? Would they have acknowledged me or remain weak and foolish as they are?' the Hokage herself showed up in the battle field with his former teachers, classmates and the sand trio. They were looking at him with white hot hatred even the shy hinata and gaara. "You people wanted a demon. You all did even now. Fine. I could deal with that. I'll give you what you want. Remember my name for your deaths as well as all the others including the women and children will be brought by my own hands and someone very familiar to your darkest nightmares." He closed his eyes, red, blue and purple lightning of pure chakra crackled around him; each and every glass and window in the entire village shattered, a huge crater formed under his feet.
"You see, I never was a demon, I knew enough not to be consumed by my own darkness but you people foolishly dug your own graves you all attacked me when I turned my back and decided to forgive you. Major stupidity you know. You want demon. I'll give you demon." Chakra danced at his fingertips, he bit his thumb and formed seals with his hands with the speed of quicksilver He smirked to hide his guilt before raising his shirt and smearing the blood at his thumb to the exposed seal at his abdomen. This is what he wanted? "I summon, Kyubbi no kitsune!" He clenched his eyelids shut as he screamed the words. Kill or be killed? Is it really?
Their faces etched deep in his mind. Visions of their shock and fear filled faces filled him as he continued to battle with troubled conscience.
'How could the sky be so blue when everything is so red?' he continued to stroke the soft velvet fur of the only thing precious to him. "Change." Reddish mist appears before him, obscuring his vision of the fox. It was a whole minute before it cleared. Where his hand was stroking a fox now lay at the chest of a tall finely built man. "Kyo…"he let his hand fall only to be caught and held gently but firmly by the person named kyo. "You are dying." "I know. " "It's over. Do you regret it?" "No…. Yes." he sighed and turned his now dimming eyes to the demon he considered his adviser, his brother, his father, his friend and finally lover. Kyo looked at him thoughtfully and he understood.
"No." he answered flatly before even the other had a chance to talk.
"We've talked about this before. Plus I don't want you to die and you will have a second chance. You do want a second shot at it don't you?"
"You know the answer to that."
"Then why don't you accept it!"
Kyo glared at the dying man. "You know the answer to that as well." He face loosed to a look of surrender and understanding. "Koi, I want to do this. I want you to have the chance to live better." Naruto gave up a resigned sigh. His life's end is nearing. "I….you know that you mean very much to me right? You still want to do this?" "Let me be selfish just one more time lover" he smiled slightly and kyo answered back with his own. "Then shoot." Kyo gave a grateful smile before his form faded away, going back inside him. He closed his eyes, his possessed body rising slowly from the ground. He put his hands together and breathed deeply. Dog, bird, fox, horse, sheep, fox, and dragon; his hands making the seals, he bursts with red and blue chakra, he grinned and fell to the ground.
Naruto's POV:
He stood before me at the opened gates and I smiled as he bends towards me. I never told him but he's beautiful, his hair is long and flaming red, his eyes are crimson, he is tall and muscular and his skin is tan like mine. Demon eyes kyo that name was given to him a long time ago when he was in human form. "Kyubbi" I breathed.
Sayonara. His lips touched mine and I closed my eyes. Try as I might I couldn't hold my tears back, this is the last, I want to remember how he feels, how warm he is and how gentle. I buried my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around me. "Hehe...How stupid. I'm bawling like baby. Damnit I…." He just held me tighter and rubbed my back in a circular motion. Shhh….Its okay to cry. After all those years of keeping them at bay, you have the most right to let them fall. I'm… glad that you're the one I'm sealed into. Naruto, crying doesn't necessarily means weakness. I looked up and my eyes met his own. He cupped my chin and stroked my whiskered cheeks with his thumb, never looking away. I'm proud of what you have become. I gave off a weak smile and attempted a joke. "Heh. Kyo. You've become so sentimental. Are you okay? You know that I don't deal well with these mushy- mushy stuff. I think all those years being cooped up inside me broke you."
Maybe. He chuckled and caressed my cheek before kissing me once more and held me tighter as he start to fade away. The hall started to collapse. Being inside you made me complete, lover. I give myself to you. I shut my eyes tight and clutched him tighter like a lifeline. The shaking got worse, the ceiling came falling down only to melt and merge with the floors
"kyubbi." Shhh…its okay. His body starting to fade away and turn to air, Naruto suki desu and just like he never existed kyubbi no kitsune was gone. I let myself fall on the wet floors of my mind and shamelessly bawled. "You idiot!"
Morning greets the still sleeping town of konohagakure. But one person lays awake. A boy at the age of eleven was curled up in a fetal position. Crying liquid crystals, the broken boy whispered a single name over and over like a mantra. And that name was Kyo.
