A/N~ This is a short oneshot that popped into myh head durin a long car drive to Houston and this song came on my Ipod and I thought of it and just had to write it down! Enjoy~!
Everyone hated me, feared me, and with good reason, I was the 'container' of The Shukaku, The one-tailed beast. I don't sleep, if I did, Shukaku would take over, I don't have the luxury of a seal like Naruto. My siblings see me as a killing machine, my sand burial giving me that title. The title I hated, I didn't want to kill, but when I use chakra in a fight, Shukaku riled up, and almost takes over. My people fear me, thinking that someday I will turn on them, and who's to say I won't, if I give up, and Shukaku takes advantage, nobody would survive.
After the Chunin exams, Naruto convinced me that people do care for me, and they don't all think I'm a monster. Temari has started becoming a real sister, and Kankuro is as much of a brother as I could ask for, but Naruto tops all of them, he pulled out of the pit of despair I once called life. He showed me the not all things in life have to be permanent, you don't have to live with the hand that is dealt to you, both of us were given the 'honor' of containing demons, with us not getting a single word about it. Naruto lived as an orphan and I had a family that feared me and refused to talk to me unless it was to tell me to train so that I could become a strong enough object of war, so that I could be the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
When he blossomed out, joining Team Kakashi, I stayed alone. I used to resent him for that, but I don't now, I realize how difficult life was for him, how his life was equally bad, he had a team, who didn't know what he was, but his village did. And for that they shunned him, they sent him glares, and cold, harsh, hateful, despicable words everywhere he went. He behaved obnoxiously, getting yelled at by Sakura for acting, when he just wanted recognition, someone to engage his presence and life. For someone to know he was worth something. He had found Sasuke, his brother, they understood loneliness. However, Sasuke left, leaving Naruto alone once again.
Our lives have been different in some ways, but very much the same in others. Now, I don't walk this boulevard alone, I walk it with Naruto, and a new perspective of the world.
