Hell. That where he was going. To a place far away; away from everybody, away from the things that matter most. Naruto slowly felt himself sink in nothingness; calmness and darkness creeping in. Naruto watched as the faces of his comrades slowly disappeared. Sakura was desperately trying to reprieve the near dead corpse, screaming his name over and over, cold tears dripping on Naruto's wounds. Naruto watched helplessly as she tried to get him up. Naruto could faintly hear her screams and sobs escaping her chest, her body shook with every sob, and her tears mingled with her own blood. Naruto felt himself sink even further into nothing, the darkness creeping in, consuming his mind and body.

Naruto creaked his eyes towards his sensei. Naruto watched Kakashi fight back the over-whelming hoard of ninjas, his kunai stabbing into the enemies one by one. His clothes were splattered with his own blood and the blood of others, his hands working over time. His soft, black eyes were watery, and a grim line was underneath the mask. Naruto felt a surge of sadness to both Sakura and Kakashi, he never told Sakura how much she helped him from the pain of loneliness, or Kakashi how he was a great father-figure, a dad that he never had.

Naruto cringed slightly as he could practically feel the cold and clammy hands of death, and the darkness was so over-whelming that he could barley make out the face of Sakura.

The next person he saw made a cold shiver run up his spine and a surge of desperate needing. There was Uchiha Sasuke, the great, the genius Uchiha Sasuke. Naruto saw that he was drenched in blood, his hand clenching a bloodied kunai and holding something else Naruto could not make out. The thing that shook Naruto was that he was crying. Slowly and steadily, small tears escaped from his stunningly onyx eyes, slashing onto the stone ground. His eyes were wide, starring at Naruto's body; he slowly let the kunai drop to the ground, making an eerie and loud clang. He slowly walked towards Naruto. Naruto felt his body go weak, and the only thing that he could see was Sasuke's face. Naruto felt guilt and need for his best friend, and, he felt that, he really did love him. He could not understand why, but, his best friend was his… he could not even think of the words. His mind was shutting down, and, before he let himself into death, he let one word escape his mouth.

"Sasuke"

Death was quiet a peaceful place. All around was the soft and calming sound of a rain forest and the darkness was shimmering like a river at night-time. Naruto lay in one of the dark pools, face up, gazing at the darkness around him. It was eerie… it was picture perfect. To perfect, Naruto never imagined death to be like this. It made no sense; he properly knew that it was going to be dark and lonely, with just him. But, the darkness looked like a lake, heck, it even sounded like one; complete with noises of animals. As time went on, Naruto could make out dark silhouettes of trees and bushes, and could make out some kind of moon above him.

"I'm… in a forest?" Naruto whispered, bewildered, letting the calming current of the dark river take it wherever it wanted to. It was very bizarre, but, Naruto felt exhausted, both mentally and physically. If the river was full of hot lava, Naruto would be too tired to try and get out. Naruto looked back at the silhouettes of the trees, soon, there was a soft glow around them, and the moon poked one fourth of itself out of the darkness. It was getting lighter and lighter as the moon came out more and more. Naruto could now easily see the light green of the trees and bushes, all of them bathing in the beams of the moon. Naruto even see shadows of some types of animals.

One animal, which Naruto could easily make out, was a soft white bunny. As he went down stream, the rabbit spun its head towards him, its eyes capturing him. The emerald colour, it was enchanting, he was sure he had seen those strong but soft eyes before. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. Those were Sakura's eyes. He felt a pang of sadness wriggle up from his heart, and we felt his eyes water up. Sakura, the girl of his dreams; he let out a soft chuckle, as the rabbit disappeared into the darkness of the forest. Sakura, she had saved him so many times, some was with fights and some were for… uhh… personal reasons. Like the time he got his head implanted into the trunk of a tree. Naruto let out a voluntary shiver, he never every wanted to remember that day. Ever.

Soon, the moon was fully out, and Naruto could see ever rock, bush and insect floating past him. It was so enchanting, the soft sound of the slowly moving river, and the random sounds of animals in the night. Naruto let out a sigh he did not know that he was holding; he really felt like going to sleep. The air was warm, like a hot summer night. The river was cool, not freezing, but the combination of cool water and warm wind was just bliss. As Naruto looked around at the forest, he saw a small red fox and a slightly larger black cat, mucking around happily. The fox, how was bounding around ever where, was playfully biting the cats ears, while the cat, looking pissed but equally happy, whacked the fox with its paws (nails retracted, of course). Naruto watched the pair play, reminding him horribly of him and Sasuke. The name made Naruto feel queasy and sick, and made him dreadfully want the Uchiha bastard to be with him, even if it was to pick a childish fight. Naruto felt his breath pitch and his eyes water a tiny bit more. He tried to get out of his position, but, sadly, he failed miserably. He felt like getting out of this god dammed forest and get back to the real world, even if it was only for a few seconds.

"Dam it!" Naruto yelled out in frustration, squirming around. "Sasuke! Sakura! Kakashi-sensei! " For a few more minutes he struggled to get up, but he felt tired, abnormally tired. 'Sasuke' Naruto thought sadly.

Naruto stopped from his hopeless mission as he felt the current pick up speed. The water was rushing like a dam had burst opened, and the water was so strong it was practically like a tsunami. Naruto watched the large wall of water in fear, as it crashed onto him. He felt his lungs scorch as he was held under, random sticks and stones slashing into his tanned skin. The water, which was like a monster itself, powered forward, amazingly not flooding over the low banks of the river into the still forest.

Naruto forced his mouth and eyes shut, tumbling in the water aimlessly. His lungs begged for some air, but the strong and fast current pinned him down. Naruto felt his arms and legs go heavy. 'Oh no' Naruto thought helplessly, 'shit, I'm going to drown. What the heck, I'm already dead'

Naruto, even in this death or death situation, chuckled at his own joke. Bad move, floods of water entered in Naruto's mouth. Naruto gagged at the surprising nice tasting water. No matter how much Naruto fought the water, it entered his lungs. And, oh my god, did it hurt. It fucking hurt. It felt like his lungs were being tortured, with a red hot poker, sharp knife and an extremely big pair of scissors.

Before Naruto could take no more, he felt soft sand under neath his body. Naruto looked confusedly at the sand, before coughing loads of water from his poor tortured lungs. Naruto felt heavy, all his clothes were drenching wet. He looked back to the river, which quickly died down, and it was back to its soft, calm pace. Naruto scowled at it with pure rage, bloody river, trying to kill him the second time today. Naruto lay on the bank, watching the forest, it was still light. The moon was still out, and it illuminated the whole forest. Naruto watched the forest, in amazement. It was short lived though, as he could see a very large figure of a fox coming out from one of the openings. Naruto looked up at the huge fox, its burning red eyes staring at him in annoyance.

"Kit, you got us killed, you lazy bastard." It growled, showing its abnormally sharp canines. Naruto glared at the fox, and spat at the proud beast.

"Shut up" growled Naruto, annoyance at how tired he was and the… uhh… not so pleasant water ride. The huge fox, Kyuubi, just gave out a disturbing chuckle. Its nine tails thrashing around, plummeting the trees into the soft soil.

"Come on, Kit, get up, and stop your stupid whining." Kyuubi growled, picking Naruto up from his soaking wet clothes. Naruto winced as he saw how close the fox's teeth got to his already torn up body. Naruto, letting his body go limp; just let the huge beast take him into the forest.

As the pair went through the forest, Naruto started to feel less tired and more energetic. His cuts and bruises from the wild water ride were already healed up to perfection and, anyway, it was fun to tease Kyuubi. He always did it when he was alive, why not here when it was boring?

"Yo, fox-bastard, where are we going?" Naruto said in an annoyed tone, looking at the fox king. The proud fox completely ignored him and kept walking through the thick shrub, destroying most of it. Naruto looked back at the destruction while waiting for Kyuubi's reply. Amazingly, the forest regenerated itself, all the bushes and trees were normal. Not one scratch. It looked as it was untouched, and did not just have a 100 foot beast trample all over it.

Naruto turned his head back to Kyuubi, and pouted.

"Hey! Fox-bastard! Where the hell are we going?" repeated Naruto, eyeing off Kyuubi and giving him his best death glare. Kyuubi casually looked at Naruto with his blood-shot eyes, and opened his jaws slightly, letting Naruto drop a few centimetres. Naruto gave out a startled yelp, and glared at the annoying fox. Kyuubi just gave out a rumbling, and disturbing, chuckle. Naruto sighed in annoyance, and looked ahead. After a few minutes of quietness, Naruto looked at Kyuubi and sighed.

"Hey…" Naruto hesitated as he felt eyes pierce into him, "Where are we going? Just tell me, already?" His voice was low, and tinges of sadness were in the words. Kyuubi just looked at Naruto, and looked ahead.

"Your gonna meet your little sister, Kit" He growled, in his usual gruff voice. Naruto's eyes opened so you could easily see his large, baby blue eyes. Naruto looked at the fox in shock. What the heck was he saying? Did he have a long lost sister that he never knew about? Was he going back to the real world?

Kyuubi saw Naruto's expression and gave out an annoyed sigh.

"She ain't alive, idiot. She's a female clone of you, she was created here by god knows who. She's annoying, but she has not woken up. She has this weird sleeping thingy. Coma, that's it. Any way, when you died, you came here and she woke up." Kyuubi explained, making sure Naruto would not drop out and have a 100 metre fall to his hurtful death. Naruto went quite for a few moments, letting the information sink in. He had a girl clone of him…she woke up when he died…

"Hey, fox-bastard, did she say anything?"

Kyuubi thought for a while, and looked at the still wet Naruto in his jaws.

"Well, she said she had no memories, she did not even know her name. Stupid Kit… Then, I went to pick you up from the god dammed river." Kyuubi let out a loud growl at the last comment. Naruto cringed at the loudness of the growl. Naruto gave the huge fox a cute pout. Then, went back to trying to figure out this so called 'female Naruto'. Naruto still had some questions to ask Kyuubi, and gave the fox a serious look.

"How old is she?" he said boldly, looking into the fire red eyes of the demon fox. Kyuubi let out a frustrated growl, and glared at the annoying kit. He got easily tired of questions.

"She's about bloody eight years old" Kyuubi roared. Naruto just glared at Kyuubi for being so loud.

"Stupid Fox"

"Bastard of a Kit"

"Fox-Idiot"

"Whiny human"

As the two bickered through out the forest, the moon slowly started to slip away from the dark night sky. After thirty minutes of travelling, Kyuubi and Naruto entered a large clearing. Naruto could easily see the moon, which was three times its usual size. He could easily make out the huge dark craters covering the giant piece of rock. The warm wind made the blades of grass and the leaves on the trees move gently making calming rustling noises. Kyuubi let Naruto onto the ground, making him only have a 6 foot fall.

"Ouch!" cried Naruto, angrily, rubbing his backside rudely and making gestures at the large rips in his clothes. Before he could swear at the humongous fox, Naruto saw in the corner of his eye a small, blonde-haired girl, crying softly. She was so small, and she was crouched up, her hands buried in her face. Her blonde hair went down to her neck, and it was raggedy and dirty. She was wearing a simple, summer dress, which seemed to float from the summer wind, and she was bare-footed. She was in the middle of the clearing, and it just broke Naruto's heart to see such a tiny girl in distress.

Naruto walked towards the girl, and put a hand on the girl's shoulder. The girl jerked her head up quickly to gaze at Naruto with a look of pure shock and horror. Naruto looked surprisingly at the girl's face. She looked just like him; from her baby-blue eyes down to her adorable mouth. Her face also was dirtied, grim was every where on her face. Naruto gave her a sad, small smile and lifted his hand to get rid of the dirt. The girl, watching him closely, grabbed his hand and gave Naruto a very scared look. Her face was also puffy from crying, and her eyes her also had a reddish glint on the white bit.

"It's alright, my names Naruto. What yours?" said Naruto calmly, looking into the frightened girls eyes. The girl, gulping loudly, looked into Naruto's eyes shyly.

"I don't know my name" she said simply. Already, she was coming for confident with this stranger. He seemed nice, but he looked just liked her. He looked so much like her it frightened her out of her wits. The boy chuckled, and she could not help but laugh to. The boy gave her a big grin, which she gave it back happily, forgetting her loneliness.

"Well, you need a name." Naruto said, giving the girl another one of his special Naruto grins. The girl again gave out a small tinkling laugh, Naruto loved that laugh. It was too cute to resist. .

"Umm, what about Natasha?" said Naruto, trying to pick out a random name that kind of sounded like his. The girl went quite, and thought about the name.

"No" she said finally, crossing her arms around her chest, and gave Naruto a determined pout. Naruto gave the girl a dead-panned look, but quickly changed it back to happy. Pfft, she did not like the name, honestly, Naruto did not like it ether.

"Umm, what about… Naruki?" he said after a few minutes of thought. The girl, gave another quick thought, and shook her head quickly. Naruto thought again.

"What about Narikua?"

"Nope"

"Then what about Narukai?"

"Yuck"

"Well what about Naruko?"

The girl stopped to think about it. The name, it was cute. And she liked it, she liked it a lot.

"Yeah!" she said happily, nodding her head up in down really quickly. Naruto had to stop her because he was afraid her head would fly off. Naruto gave her a warm, brother-like smile. Which the girl, now happily Naruko, gave back.

"Naruko. I like the name, what's my last?" Naruko questioned with an innocent pout, looking at Naruto with large, puppy dog eyes. Naruto, looking at the hyper girl with a slight confused look, have a large grin and gave the girl thumbs up.

"Uzumaki!" he said loudly, getting a giggle out of Naruko and a growl from Kyuubi. The girl, happily grinning and giggling, stood up, dragging Naruto up with her.

"What about we play a game?" She said innocently, grabbing Naruto's large hands, and, tried to swing him around. Naruto gave out a gleeful masculine laugh.

"Hold it right there, you two stupid kits" growled Kyuubi, coming toward the two Uzumaki's. Naruto gave him a glare, as Naruko started to sniffle at being called stupid from a large fox. Kyuubi just completely ignored the small kid's tears and looked at the two in a stern glare. His blood-shot eyes seemed a bit more soft then usual from the other hard stone like eyes.

"She has to go back to another dimensional world." Kyuubi roughly said. Naruto and Naruko gave out both soft gasps. Naruko, thinking of leaving her new-found brother and play-mate was frightening. She had just found him; she did not want to leave to go to another weird place with weird new people. Naruto, feeling the same, did not want to leave Naruko. She seemed so small and helpless, and, personally he did not want her to go to another world. He knew that Sasuke would be there, and, he felt jealous of her going and not him. It was silly, he had already had his go, but, he just wanted to see those onyx eyes one more time.

"But… I don't want to go!" cried Naruko, stomping her foot childishly. Kyuubi said nothing, and just glared at Naruto. Naruto, getting the vibe that Kyuubi was radiating, gave a small, defeated sigh and grabbed Naruko's hand softly. She looked up at him with large eyes and a questioning look.

"Come on… we got to get you cleaned up for the new world."

Naruto never thought getting a girl ready was difficult. Yes, he was in side an imaginary forest, and with a hypo girl. Naruto sighed as he looked at his torn clothing as Naruko had a bath in a near by pond to clean the mud off her and clean her hair. Naruto felt a vein twitch as he heard her singing some un-known tune. She did have a very nice voice for an eight year old, really, but it was another reason why he felt angry. It was stupid jealousy. He knew it was stupid, but he could not shake it off, no matter how much he tried. It was a nagging thought that clouded his thoughts. 'She's going to see Sasuke'. That sentence just made his blood boil. He let out a frustrated yell and glared at the small white dress hanging on one of the lower branches. Yes, he was in a tree that was because he did not have a view of Naruko.

"Naruto!" yelled Naruko happily, "I need a towel!" Naruto let a frustrated sigh come out of him. Yes, he was frustrated.

"Why don't you use your white dress? I'll get you a new dress!" Naruto gave a small triumph smile as he heard the small girl gave out a happy squeal and saw a skinny arm grab the dress. Few minutes later, Naruto saw a small, clean girl wrapped up in the dress. She saw Naruto up in the tree and gave a large wave. Naruto, smiling, came down and showed Naruko to some dresses that Kyuubi magically got from the backroom of Naruto's mind.

Naruto watched happily as Naruko, looked at the different sorts of dresses, they all looked like her white dress, just different colours, but she looked like they were different cuts and all. After a few minutes of consideration from a black one to a bright orange one, she happily picked out the orange one.

Naruto watched as both she and he went down to put her hair in. Naruto felt his masculine drop as Kyuubi forced him to do the tiny girls hair. Naruto placed Naruko onto a large tree stump and showed a large range of hair ties. Naruko immediately picked out a pair of bright, bubbly orange hair ties, and pushed them into Naruto's hand. Naruto sighed at her attics and got ready for the dreaded job.

"What kind of hair style do you want?" said Naruto distractedly; trying to find the hairbrush Kyuubi had given him.

"Umm…" Naruko said, placing a small finger on her lips in concentration. "uhh… would you like to choose, Naruto-kun?" Naruto looked up from his fruitless search for the missing hairbrush to look at Naruko. Sure, saying his name was ok. Putting a brother ending would be fine. But, if she wants to say kun, let her. Naruto gave a shrug and started to part her hair.

Naruko squealed at her reflection in the river. Naruto gave a tired and triumph smile. Really, Naruko looked to cute to resist. Naruto felt like just running up to her and give her a big hug. Her orange, summer dress seemed to float in the night-time warm wind, and her short but adorably cute pig-tails just made her look extra cute. Naruto was happy from what he had done, and yikes, he never ever wanted to do girls hair again. He would rather just do it with sexy-no-jutsu. Naruko happily looked up from her reflection to give Naruto a big grin.

"Thank youuuu!" she yelled, running and gave Naruto a huge hug and a big wet kiss on his whiskered cheeks. Naruto gave a happy laugh, and watched the over-excited girl in pride. It really felt like in only, what, 3 hours he had known her (her baths were ridiculously long, and it took forever to get her hair just right) and he felt like he knew her forever. Wiping the slobber off his cheek, he gave Naruko an equally big hug. Both of the Uzumaki's happily hugged each other, and were interrupted by Kyuubi's loud voice.

"Come on kit, time to go."

Naruko sadly hugged Naruto and cried into his stomach. After nearly an hour of complaint, crying, fighting and more complaint with both Naruto and Kyuubi, Kyuubi had finally won over the two and Naruko was forced to go in a very dark bit of the forest.

"But I don't want to go!" hiccuped Naruko, clinging onto Naruto new top for dear life. "I don't want to go! I want to stay with Naruto-kun!"

Kyuubi growled loudly, clearly annoyed with the young girl.

"Why you bitch, get in there or I'll rip your head off! And stop crying you shitty wimp!"

Naruto glared at the annoyed fox. And gave the demon a very good death glare, but it did not effect the fox. It never did. But the naughty and bad words of 'Uncle Kyuubi' which Naruko had affectingly called him, just made her cry more and cling onto Naruto so he's new top had tiny nails marks.

"It will be alright" said Naruto softly, kneeling down to face Naruko face to face. "You'll see" Naruko looked at Naruto with the same scared puffy eyes she had given him the first time they had meet. Naruko smiled and tried to say something but Naruto entered a strong embrace. Naruko looked confusingly at Naruto, and was sure that he had some sort of tears.

"Take care of him" Naruto whispered softly into Naruko's ears. Naruko looked confusingly at the older boy. 'Take care of him'? What did he mean of that? Before Naruko could ask, she felt something drag her inside the forest. She struggled for a bit, but gave up. She looked at a very sad Naruto and grumpy Kyuubi with large eyes. Before she disappeared into the darkness, she made a promise to herself.

Make sure to take care of him, no matter who Naruto was talking about.
