Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, Sakura would've died during the Land of the Waves mission.

Heylo! This is Jinx here, with my very first fic! Please read and review! And please no flames. Constructive criticism is accepted. Now go on and read!

----------------------------------------------------------------

The rain hitting the window and the wind howling though the trees were the only sounds that echoed though Uzumaki Naruto's house. He had awakened by a nightmare hours ago and couldn't get back to sleep. The blonde had been having the same nightmare for weeks now. The one where the Kyuubi would take control and…No.

He didn't want to think about that right now. He looked over at his alarm clock, though he could not read it in the darkness. A quick flash of lightning allowed him to read it quickly. "Eleven." He muttered.

He groaned and turned over on his side, his back now facing the clock. He had a mission tomorrow. He needed to sleep, otherwise he wouldn't be worth anything on the mission. He had even gone to bed early so he'd be well rested and ready to go the next day.

He sighed and closed his eyes. His last thought before falling asleep was 'I hope I don't have that nightmare again'.

------------------------------------------------

He woke with a start, sweat making his clothes stick to his body. He groaned as he noticed he had a splitting headache. He tossed off what blankets had stayed on him while he had been asleep and got up from his bed. Using the wall as a guide, he reached the light switch and turned the lights on.

His eyes stung from the sudden transition from dark to light, causing him to shut his eyes. He opened them after a moment and blinked a few times, letting his eyes adjust. He looked at the clock and cursed. '11:30' the clock read.

"Stupid nightmare." He hissed, switching off the light. Feeling along the wall again, he made his way back to his bed and laid down in it, pulling the blankets back over him. He rubbed his head, wondering why it hurt. 'I must've hit it on the wall.' He thought, remembering he had heard a thump when he had awoke.

He sighed and closed his eyes, hoping to get more sleep.

'Blood…I want blood…'

"Huh?" Naruto said, opening his eyes and sitting up. He looked around, even though he was as good as blind in the dark. 'Could've sworn I heard something.' He thought. He shrugged it off and laid back down, telling himself it was just his mind playing tricks on him.

It often did when he was tired and it was dark.

'I need blood…Give me blood…'

Naruto sat up again. He definitely heard something that time. It had been louder than last time. "Who's there?" He called out.

No answer. Feeling slightly unnerved, the blonde laid back down. He pulled the blankets up a bit.

'I WANT BLOOD!'

This time, the voice echoed throughout the entire house. There was a loud thump a few seconds before the echo faded, signifying Naruto had fallen from his bed. He got to his feet then quickly went over to the light switch, using the wall as a guide. He switched the light on, his eyes adjusting to the light immediately.

His eyes searched for the owner of the voice. "Show yourself!" He demanded, still looking around. No answer.

'Help me get blood…You'll be taking vengeance on those who have mistreated you…And I'll get blood…'

Naruto froze as he realized he recognized the mysterious voice. "K-Kyuubi?" He asked.

'Yessss?'

That's when he realized where the voice was coming from. The Kyuubi was speaking to him telepathically. "W-What do you want?" The blonde questioned.

'BLOOD!'

Naruto's eye widened. "W-Who's blood?" He asked.

'Eeeevvveeeeerrrryyyyyooonnneeessss…'

"Even…Mine?" Naruto asked. He couldn't help asking.

'Nooo….'

Naruto felt relieved. Then he felt ashamed of himself for feeling so. Everyone would die except for him…No! No one would die!

Not if he could do something about it. "No! I won't let you kill anyone!" He yelled.

'Yes you will…'

"No I won't!" Naruto argued.

He heard the Kyuubi hiss in annoyance.

'Don't fight…Just let me take control… I want blood…'

It almost sounded like the Kyuubi was begging. "No!" Naruto yelled defiantly.

'GIVE UP CONTROL!!!'

The Kyuubi's roaring voice made the blonde's head throb. The Kyuubi was starting to remind Naruto of a small child throwing a tantrum. "No!" Naruto growled, getting annoyed with the argument. He didn't understand.

The Kyuubi was strong enough to take control whether it had Naruto's consent or not. "Why are you asking me?" The blonde queried.

'I want to help you…I pity you…'

Naruto blinked. "Pity me? Why?" He asked, confused.

'I want to show you how fun killing can be…'

"Killing isn't fun! It wrecks people for life!" Naruto argued. He heard the Kyuubi laugh.

'And yet you decided to become a ninja…Listen, the killer is only wrecked if he regrets it…'

"I won't let you kill anyone, no matter what you say!" Naruto protested.

'Why not? Everyone in the village hates you…'

"Yeah, because of you!" Naruto growled, his hands curling into fists.

'I never caused them to hate you…Only me…'

Naruto blinked. He hated to admit it, but the Kyuubi did have a point.

'Come on…Let me show you how fun killing can be…Take revenge on those who have caused you to suffer…'

Naruto fell silent, considering what the Kyuubi had said. After a while, a sadistic grin spread over the blonde's lips. 'He's right. They deserve to die. They hated and despised me for no reason…I'm not responsible for what the Kyuubi did.' He thought. "Alright Kyuubi. Let's go have some fun." He said.

'Good choice.'
