Prologue

Naruto viewed the destruction. Konoha was a ruin. The debris was still smoking on the Hokage Tower. Earth was painted red by the blood of thousands and the sky was a mirror of its color. He was the only one left alive.

How could I have let this happen? Everyone is dead. Shika, Neji, Tsunade-baachan, Iruka-sensei, Hinata, Kiba, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura, Shizune-neechan… Everyone.

It`s all over. There is nothing left. What am I supposed to do now?

"Kit." He vaguely heardKyuubi say, from the back of his mind. His mind was kind of fuzzy as if a fog settled in his head.

"Yes, Kyuu?" Naruto asked aloud. His voice was hollow and empty, barren of his usual cheer. He didn`t care anymore. No one would hear him talking to himself here.

The tone of his voice broke the heart of the most powerful of demon lords. He really came to love his kit, over the years. He would do everything to help him now, he just didn`t know what would help.

"Are you going to be alright?" He didn`t know what else to ask, but wanted Naruto to know he was concerned. A ghost of a bitter smile appeared on Naruto`s lips but was gone in an instant, replaced by a stony mask. He became exceptionally good at hiding his emotions. He had to. He was a Hokage of wartime, and corruption, backstabbing, political mind games and

greed taught him that.

Kyuubi sometimes coursed the Kit`s dream. It stripped him of the last of his innocence and delusions of the world he lived in. Even though delusions were among the top five killers in the ninja world, they were helping the Kit cope with all the hate, distrust and bloodshed.

He hated to see them ripped from Naruto`s battle scarred hands.

"Yes Kyuu, I`m going to be alright. You know I love you, right?" he asked in a whisper. "Of course I know kit and I love you as well. We`ll get through this Naruto, you`ll see."

"Yes." He said even though he knew that wasn`t possible. His mind was set. Right now, he was more grateful than ever that he could hide his thoughts from the Kitsune. He too, will die here today. His life wasn`t worth anything without his precious people. He loved Kyuubi and so he couldn`t let him die as well.

He decided.

He closed his eyes and concentrated. His mind was still not completely clear so it took a few moments longer than usual. Then he felt a strong pull and let go. He started floating inside his mind. He felt a slight breeze and slowly opened his eyes. He was standing on a beautiful medium-sized meadow, surrounded by huge trees. The sky was blue and cloudless, the grass was a deep green and you could hear the rustling of wind in the leaves of a tree in the middle of the clearing. He looked down at his feet and sighed. He started walking towards the tree, his legs heavy, and stopped when he was at the bottom. There was a tension in his shoulders for a fleeing second before he relaxed.

He looked up.

Sitting on the lowest branch of the tree was a young man looking down on him. His blood red hair was swaying in the wind and his crimson eyes followed Naruto`s every movement. They were searching for something. Naruto looked at him with tears at the corners of his eyes. He tried to blink them away. When the man saw them he jumped down from his spot, right in front of Naruto. Naruto`s knees grew weak and he collapsed. The men easily caught him and kneeled on the ground with Naruto crying in his arms. "Please Kyuubi I need you!" he cried out, desperate. Kyuubi stayed silent. He knew what Naruto was talking about but he couldn`t give it to him. He vowed to himself never to hurt Naruto again. He couldn`t, he wouldn`t.

"Please, please I need you! I need you!" Again, Kyuubi said nothing. He closed his eyes and buried his face in his kit`s hair. "Don`t you love me, Kyuu? Please!" Naruto knew it was a cheap shot and that Kyuubi loved him, but he was desperate. "Just one last time. Please" he whispered. Kyuubi knew his resolve was slipping. He wanted to help Naruto in any way possible but… Naruto could feel wetness on his forehead so he looked up. He immediately felt guilt clench his heart. Crimson eyes were looking into his own, swimming in tears. It hurt him to see the demon like this but he needed him. He lifted his right hand and cupped Kyuubi`s pale smooth cheek. The redhead leaned in his touch and closed his eyes again. "Please." Naruto said again leaning forward. He stopped when his lips were an inch from the other man`s.

"Please." Kyuubi felt Naruto`s sweet breath wash over his face. With that, the last of his resistance was washed away. Nodding his head he closed the distance between them and gently pressed his lips to Naruto`s. The kiss started out gentle but as the mutual need increased so had the intensity. Naruto wrapped his arms around Kyuubi`s neck and leaned backwards, pulling the redhead on top of him. Kyuubi`s tongue asked for entrance and Naruto eagerly opened his mouth. He explored every corner of Naruto`s warm cavern. It tasted like blood, tears and despair.
