Outsider
Lying under a tree, looking up at the clouds as they passed, I remarked on my life. My black hair was messily underneath me, and my magenta eyes stared up at the clouds- not really paying attention to much. Up until quite recently, I had been alone, left out- in a sense, unwanted. Then, I met Uzamaki Naruto- and all those feeling of being unwanted seemed to vanish. Before Naruto and I met, I had thought I had no reason to live, no reason to keep going through the same routine- but now, that's all changed.
{Flashback}
"I have no reason to keep living- no reason to stay here," I said, monotonously, the kunai dangerously close to my throat.
"That's not true!" Naruto exclaimed.
"How would you know? You have not been through what I have," I replied," Me- an orphan, always moving around, never belonging anywhere, always looked down upon by others, hated, misjudged."
"I know how that feels- and it's not right, I know!" Naruto told me.
"I have no reason to keep living like this- I'm just a waste of space. I'll never be anyone special- I have no dream that become reality."
"Your not alone Kaminari-chan!" Naruto exclaimed," I am Kyuubi- We are one of the same!" He said that just as my hand began moving towards my throat. The kunai stopped mere millimeters from my throat- and I looked over at him.
"You're… Kyuubi?" I asked, my magenta eyes slightly watering.
"Yes," Naruto nodded," I was treated just like you- but I had no idea why- not until I was about 13. At least you knew why they treated you like they do. But you aren't alone- Don't take the cowards way out- You deserve to live a better life, and you can. Just take my hand." He stretched his arm out towards me, and I looked at it. Then, after lowering my kunai, I reached my hand out and accepted his hand.
"I'm Nibi no Nekomata," I told him, and he nodded once.
"Come with me," Naruto said, and began leading me through the village.
"Where are we going?" I asked, confused.
"To hang out with our friends," he said, smiling back at me. As I followed him, I couldn't help but smile softly as well.
{End Flashback}
"Mind if I join you?" The voice shook me from my daydream, and I looked towards the left.
"Hey Shikamaru," I smiled," Of course you may join." He lay down next to me, and we lay there together- watching the clouds- relaxing- and just enjoying each others company. It was easy to be Shikamaru's friend- and I was glad that we could be more then friends. As I lay my head on his stomach and looked up at the clouds, I smiled. It was all thanks to Naruto that my life could now be somewhat normal. Without him, I probably would be dead right now. Being an outsider most of my life- its nice to have friends for once, and know I wasn't alone.
