Ok there's Yaoi in here, so I wouldn't advise straight guys reading this. It's also my attempy at some angst, which I hope I'll get better at over time. Now let's move on shall we?
My chapters will be longer then this most likely.
Intoxication
A ceiling fan rotated quietly. A candle burned lightly on the bedroom side table. The light reflected off the blade in an eerie glow. Bed sheets were covering a small, lithe boy with blonde hair. Naruto Uzumaki.
This blade…could cut so easily…piercing my veins quickly, not giving a whisper to the neighbors, not giving me a moment to scream…It would be so easy just to feel a cold knife in my wrist, an icy metal blade…
Naruto fingered the blade ever so gingerly, caressing his wrist with it. He's blue eyes surveyed the blade, wondering how long would it take for the loss of blood to send him into an abyss, not ever wanted by anyone, but he would welcome it with open arms…
Hell…What would that be like? At least I would be recognized…Why won't they look at me? Whenever I pass the other ninja's, they ignore me, and when they do decide to look at me, they beat me up…
It would be so easy…just give a flick of your wrist, and watch your blood stain the sheets…It would be so easy, to stop fighting it and give in to your pain…
It would be so easy…But no…It would be wrong…
Don't bother fighting it Naruto, we all know who they think you are, the fucked up kid, the gay one…
Be quiet…I'm not gay, and I will NOT take my life away!
You will do what I say Naruto! Have you forgotten what happened today? The nags, the teasing, the punching? Give it up Naruto, you know it will never cease.
Shut up you-
I wouldn't talk that way, after all, why are you so mean to the only one you share your secrets with?
You invade my mind! Your just a figment of my imagination! Go away!
I'm no figment…I'm very real…
Naruto looked up fearfully at the mirror, hoping to see a sign that he was still himself. What he sawrocked him.
That is what you are becoming Naruto. There is no fighting it, not stopping it.
Red eyes pierced his blue ones with the fire of hell. The blonde hair was longer, slightly below his shoulders. A mouth formed into a hideous grin. His whiskers were no longer standing off his face, but were bent down, giving a poisoned look.
No! I will never give in!
Naruto summoned his strength to look at the horrible image in the mirror. "Suck on this" he told the , and threw the knife with all his might. His aim was true, and the tip hit the center of the forehead. Naruto felt pain irrupt from his head, and he fell back, fighting the presence that shared his mind, even in sleep.

"Hey look, it's Naruto!" laughter followed this comment made by Naramaru. "So dobe, how's life being a fucked up loner?" Naruto's face stung with shame as he tried to sidestep the Irizugato. "Are you running away now? Just when the fun was getting started?" A devastating punch knocked the smaller boy down. Naruto smashed his head against the concrete of the sidewalk, feeling dazed. "Having fun yet you stupid fag?" He felt a foot collide with his ribs. "I said ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET?" Naruto had had enough. He sprung up, swinging his backpack sideways, feeling someone's face get pummeled with his backpack. He felt chakra's erupt all over the place as 5 people descended upon him with fist after fist.

Naruto was against the wall, bleeding from almost everywhere. He had no idea how long he had been sitting down for. His misery pelted him like the rain pelted the rooftops. He wanted someone…Anyone, to each out for him.
"Naruto…" He felt a presence beside him. It was Kiara.
What does he want…Does he want to see me cry, does he want to see me like this? Why does he pretend to care…
"I want to help you, I don't want to see you like this anymore." Naruto got up angrily, holding out a kunai knife threateningly.
"Come any closer and I will cut you." Kiara eyed the blade warily as he got up.
"We both know you won't do that." Naruto backed away.
"I said STAY AWAY-" he choked on a sob that was forming in his throat. He regained his poise immediately. "You say that all the time. 'Ooh I feel sorry for Naruto yadayadayada.' Well go give someone else your fake sympathy you bastard! I don't need help!" Kiara moved with a sudden burst of speed and knocked the knife away from Naruto, and pressed him against the wall. "LET GO OF ME YOU ANNOYING LITTLE PRICK!" Kiara moved forward and whispered words into his ears.
"Naruto…I'm here for you…Just relax…" Naruto's breathing became slower and more regular. "You're staying at my house tonight. My parents are away on a couples retreat, so my sister is taking care of me. Fortunately, she's out with here boyfriend, which basically means she'll be home tomorrow afternoon." Naruto couldn't help but laugh. "Please…I don't want you alone right now." Naruto bit his lower lip gently.
"Ok…But I'll need to go home to get some clothes." Kiara shook his head firmly.
"My house is closer, and there is NO way you are going home in those bloody clothes PLUS the fact that we'll both get sick if we stay out here longer. I have clothes you can borrow that could fit you."

Naruto felt for one of the first time's in his life at home. A small fire was roaring, and he and Kiara were covered in a deep red blanket. His Shazruki teacup was help loosely in his hands, and his head was gently resting against his best friend. The clothes that were picked for him weren't his normal orange jumpsuit shinobi clothes. He was wearing a pair of loose jeans with a white v-neck shirt.
"Kiara…I'm sorry. I pushed you away when you tried to care for me, and now I just feel terrible." Naruto gazed into his tea sadly "I just wish that I wasn't a burden for you." His eyes began to tear "Please accept my apolo-" he was cut off by a soft voice from above.
"You are not a burden for me Naruto, I wouldn't be able to survive if it weren't for you. You're my best friend. Naruto…Do you have feelings for Sasuke?" Naruto was on his guard almost immediately.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know you do. Being with a guy isn't wrong Naruto." Naruto sighed as he felt the tears flow freely down his cheeks. Kiara was able to figure out what he was thinking yet again. Sometimes Naruto thought he could read minds.
"It is wrong…Everyone says that."
"They're wrong Naruto. Being with someone doesn't matter of gender, it matters only for the love of each other." Naruto's tear flow became stronger.
"It does it does! Everyone calls each other fags as an insult, it's bad to like boys." Kiara tilted Naruto's chin so that they were looking in each others eyes.
"Do I have to show you? I want you to be happy Naruto. I like guys and girls, so I can show you." Naruto looked at him sadly.
"No guy would ever kiss me-" Kiara forced his lips shut with a kiss. Naruto was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized how good this felt…He felt Kiara move his hand and release the teacup. He moved his arms around his best friend, loving the feeling. Kiara took Naruto's shirt off, and pressed against him gently, making Naruto fall back gently onto the couch. Naruto moaned loudly as Kiara's expert tongue felt the inside of his novice mouth. Kiara parted and looked at Naruto.
"What do you think about guy's now?" Naruto felt lost.
"I don't know…" Kiara got off of him, and gave Naruto a look. Not mean, not nice, it was just a look of remorse.
"We have to share a bed. If you want to explore things farther, just ask."

So how was it? Don't worry…All the angst hasn't left yet, and NO Naruto and Kiara are not the main pairing. Kiara is just trying to show Naruto what being with a guy is like and that it's ok.
Notes about the chapter
Shazruki: A type of tea that relieves stress. Very bitter. I'm not sure if it actually exists, but I heard about it on a show.
The story: No teams. They get to choose assignments every week, but can request time off. Kiara is an exceptional shinobi, and is second only to Sasuke.
