Summary: After Orochimaru's experiment on Naruto backfired, Naruto is left with only Kyuubi's emotions and Kyuubi with Naruto's. Eventually he learns to control them, but with this control, they disappear back into Kyuubi but his own are still within the fox. Tsunade, thinking that if he gets some time alone that the emotions locked inside Kyuubi will return, sends him to Wave for a vacation. But when Naruto is captured by the Akatsuki, he finds someone who just might be able to regain his emotions in a way that nobody in the Shinobi world has done before.
Through music.
A/N: Okay. This is the first fic that I think will actually go somewhere and have an ending that I'm writing. I was thinking ItaNaru, but I'm not sure if I will be able to write that. Not because I don't like it (it's my favorite paring) but because I've never written yaoi before. So if you do review, don't be too harsh, okay? If you flame, I will use them to melt all the godforsaken snow here! My town is bipolar I tell you!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto nor do I profit from this. This is just for my own enjoyment and for the reader's enjoyment as well.
Itachi: will you get on with it?
Me: Hey it's not my fault that I have to do this! If it were up to me, you wouldn't have to do this because everyone that knows about Naruto, knows that it doesn't have yaoi in it or anything that other people have written in it.
Naruto:...that had to have been your longest speech yet.
Me: Thank you! ^.^

Flashback (--there will be a minimal amount of these. since they tend to bug me to no end.)
(Author's random comment that doesn't need to be added but is anyway because i'm the author and i can do that XD)
Naruto's POV
Pain. Excruciating pain. Then burning.
'Why are my arms burning?' I think to myself as the heat intensifies. I feel like screaming, but I cant tell if I am.
'If I feel pain then I cant be dead. Unless I'm in Shinigami's stomach and I'm getting torn apart by something. But that's highly unlikely.' then the burning was replaced by the feeling of Kyuubi's chakra healing the wounds.
Then sounds enter my ears. Slowly and quietly but they were there.
"How is he?" a worried voice asks.
"Not too good. His arms were burned nearly to the bone," another voice started.
'Well that explains the burning.' I think offhandedly.
"He also has a few broken ribs, his right hand is shattered as well as torn apart, it looks like that was done with chakra and his left leg is broken. Its surprising that he's actually alive after this. His ribs were nearly inside of his lungs." the second voice says.
I try to open my eyes, succeeding I moan in pain as light fills them and I close them. After a few seconds I open them again relieved to find the light dimmed.
"Are you actually awake this time?" a man in a mask asks.
'Hatake, Kakashi. Konohagakure nin. Rank: Jounin, sensei of former Team Seven, consisting of Hurano Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, retired ANBU Black Ops. Member.' I think as information fills my mind. But I feel no recognition of his face.
I just turn towards the other members of the room. I see a girl with pink hair and she looks at me with worry in her eyes.
'Hurano Sakura. Medic Nin of Konohagakure, former pupil of Tsunade, part of former Team Seven, Rank: Chunin.' I don't recognize her either so I turn to the last person in the room.
A boy with black hair pointed up in the back and pale skin. 'Uchiha Sasuke, former Konohagakure Nin, Rank: Genin, former member of Team Seven, left Konohagakure to gain power from Orochimaru.' I recognize his face.
"Sasuke..." I whisper quietly.
I see his eyes widen in surprise.
I slowly sit up, the pain has already left my arms.
"Don't! You'll injure yourself even more!" I hear Sakura say.
I ignore her and move my legs to the side of the bed. I push myself off of it and nearly collapse at the pain that shoots up my leg. I feel Kyuubi's chakra move from my arms to my leg, healing it to the point were I can walk without pain.
I feel somebody grab my arm and I turn to see Kakashi.
"Don't strain yourself, Naruto." he tells me.
I look at his hand and he lets go.
I turn back to Sasuke and I walk over to him.
"Naruto, I-" he starts before I cut him off.
I wrap my arms around him, embracing the slightly taller boy.
"Don't you ever do that to me again, Teme." I say to him.
He doesn't move for a while. Then slowly he hugs me back. Just moment's after he does this, I manage a small smile and float into the darkness.
Sasuke's POV
The boy in my arms went limp and I realized that he fell back unconscious.
"Sasuke, put him back on the bed. I have a feeling that he may have injured himself more from the strain he put on his body." Sakura orders to me. I obliged and put the blond back on the bed.
"Sasuke..." Kakashi starts, "What happened? What caused his injuries?"
I give a long, sad sigh. "It was my fault. I couldn't get to him in time. I'm not sure of everything that happened, but I do know that Hebi-Teme had something to do with it. I think he was trying to morph some part of Kyuubi with Naruto. That or switching something." I explained.
The two before me seemed surprised that I was using Naruto's name for the snake Sannin, but quickly shook it off when they heard the part about Kyuubi.
"What do you mean 'switching'?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura, I think he means chakra or abilities." Kakashi said.
I nodded. "Something of the sort. But as of now, I don't see anything that changed."
Kakashi looked like he was contemplating something. Suddenly, his visible eye widened.
"Sasuke, do you know which demon the Sharingan comes from?" he asked frantically.
"No. I have no idea." I replied, a little confused. Then suddenly it dawned on me. "It came from Kyuubi, didn't it! Damn it!" I cursed.
"Now I know why Orochimaru was after Naruto. When you tried to kill him, he went after the one who contained the creator of the Sharingan. Which is the next best thing, because Naruto would have the original form of it if he could unlock it." Kakashi explained.
I punched the wall and it cracked. 'Shit! Damn Orochimaru, for trying to take Naruto!' I think to myself.
I heard Kakashi sigh, "Well, the best thing we can do is wait for Naruto to wake up. Then we can figure out what's changed, if anything has, anyway."
"Yeah." Sakura said. "I need to do a few more tests so I'll need you two to leave for a few minutes."
I hesitated for a few seconds before walking to the door and stepping out, Kakashi in front of me. Upon leaving the room, I immediately wanted to go back in and see Naruto. It had been a while since I saw him last and I still considered him a brother, despite the fact that I nearly tried to kill him on numerous occasions and my claim that I had severed my ties with Konohagakure.
The wait seemed more then ten minutes to me. Actually it felt like a few decades passed before Sakura opened the door, allowing us entry. I contained myself from sprinting to his bed, seeing his eyes were opened.
Third person POV
While the all the aforementioned was occurring, Naruto was conversing with Kyuubi.
"Okay, fur-ball. Would you mind explaining to me..." Naruto asked with an emotionless face "why I want to destroy Konohagakure and why I suddenly have an immense craving for blood?" his face contorted into one of mild anger and blood lust.
Kyuubi just gave a sheepish look before it turned to one of anger. "Why don't you tell me why I suddenly want five hundred bowls of ramen? And the bowl being about the size of the fourth Hokage's head?" the kitsune shouted, extremely out of character.
"I have a feeling that the Hebi-Teme did something during that experiment to swap our chakra and allow me to acquire the Sharingan, causing it to backfire." Naruto said quietly.
"EH?!" Kyuubi screeched "This sucks! Now how am I supposed to understand anything!?"
"Very easily actually." the blond said. "All you have to do is think. Good luck doing that with my emotions." he then proceeded to disappear out of his mind.
A/N: well i think this might actually turn out to be something! ^.^
Naruto: when am I going to go on vacation?
Me: uhm....I'll have to think about that. it could be a few chapters but I'm not sure...I'm kinda just flyin' by the seat of my pants...heh heh...^-^'
