Naruto awoke from another hellish nightmare with a start, the cold sweat dripping off his forehead and glistening in the moonlight.

The dreams….no nightmares had kept coming, the screams of torturous agony, the howling roars of laughter, and the the rush that sent him head first towards a set of towering sinister looking iron gates, the bars seeming more to hold him out that something inside.

Naruto would then hear a liquid rushing, see the bright red glowing fluid like chakra rushing towards him, hear the deep booming laughing even through the agony as the liquid felt like sandpaper to his skin, and like claws pulling him under the surface and driving him into a blind desperate frenzy.

The next he could remember would be regaining some of his senses as he was forced to watch as by his own hands, konoha was ripped asunder…lives brutally ended, children, parents and families alike, he simply couldn't stop, even though he was crying on the inside, the massacre just wouldn't cease.

But it wasn't just the fact that he was destroying the villiage he promised to care about which really scarred him inside, it was the fact he saw the faces of his precious people lying cold and dead on the floor, brutally killed by his own hands, as he left nothing and noone standing alive.

Yet there always seemed to be somone at the end, an angel as Naruto had come to know her as, who was able to placate the demon, ceasing the incessant violence, and yet she barely ever said anything.

All the young purple haired angel managed to ever say was "N…Naru….to…kun…." before her struggle to live was lost and she was caught in the cold cruel grasp that was death, smiling softly as death claimed her.

The fact that plagued Naruto's waking moments the most for the past few months since he had returned from his training trip with Jiraiya was the fact that he felt worse hurting the girl than for Teuchi-san, Iruka-sensei, or even the Sandaime hokage, also known as Ojii-san.

The other thing that bothered Naruto was that the girl seemed so familiar, yet even months after the dreams, he still couldn't put a name to his angel's face.

Naruto slumped forwards as he felt something moist slide down his cheek, it was surprisingly warm too...'why does this keep happening...' he wondered, wiping his face with his sleeve, and thinking back to his nightmare as since he hadn't cried since Sarutobi's funeral, and yet something about this nightmare also shook him bad enough to make him cry, although he couldnt figure out quite what it was.

After a minute of drying his tears he suddenly burst to his feet and pumped his fist in the air as he got an idea 'Hey... I could ask that stupid fox, he might help and I can wake him up too' he thought with a small smirk that soon turned into a full-blown grin at how clever his plan was, and as he lay down waiting for sleep to claim him he almost hit himself for not thinking of it earlier.

Naruto yet again soon found himself in what could best be described as sewers, before the towering sinister iron gates in his minds eye, and without so much as a care for the massive, deadly and volatile tailed beast he knew was somewhere on the other side of this barrier, he bellowed out at the top of his lungs "Oi!…Fuzz ball, are you still here....OI! Wake up you stupid lazy fox…" Naruto bellowed into the pitch black depths of the sewers darkness, hearing the echoes reverberate through the depths of the sewer, only to hear a deep howling yawn, and two big glowing red slitted eyes slowly and sleepily open to look at him.

"Ugh its still night time you little Gaki...why in the hell did you disturb me at such a kami forsaken hour....some of us don't have an endless source of energy you know..." the huge fox growled, his voice laced with annoyance and menace as he lifted one of his massive pitch black front legs and scratched his eye.

Naruto hearing the tone started a little before calming down a little and continuing in a tone that was slightly more fitting when in the presence of a demon lord with the power of the Kyuubi no kitsune, even if they were sealed.

"Actually I came to ask about these really weird and....scary nightmares I have been having lately…I was...uh... hoping you could maybe...you know...tell me what they mean…" Naruto spoke, all the while staring deep into the fox's eyes, who huffed, both out of annoyance and because the little brat always seemed to ask these philosophical questions when SOMONE was trying to get a little shut-eye 'Ahh the things I do for you you little brat...if only you knew'.

"So…" the fox growled, the menace in his booming voice barely concealed, even if it was mostly for show "You disturb my rest at this forsaken hour...and if I might add..IT IS ONLY 3AM FOR KAMI'S SAKE!!!, and then as if that isnt enough you think its wise to yell and scream out at me and go so far as to call me....ME stupid..." the fox let loose an eerie howl like burst of laughter that sent a shiver down Naruto's spine. "Then as if that wasn't bad enough, you decide that I'm such a nice guy... that id forget all that....and simply help you out on a whim?" The fox seemed almost amused at the boy standing before him, "maybe you are more of an dead last than I first believed…" the fox said tiredly knowing exactly which buttons to press, hey he was awake now, why not atleast get some amusement out of it.

Naruto clenched his fist tightly at the foxes' insult "look here you stupid fuzz-ball.... I'm going to be hokage one day... and then everyone will see ...finally ill get some respect..." But with that Kyuubi, let loose another laugh and the continued to press buttons "Ha you can barely save your own skin without my help, and yet you want to protect a whole villiage....just how many times recently have you been hit on the head...hmm?" the demon let out in an amused half purr.

Naruto clenched his fist tighter until blood was running down his fingers as he looked at the floor "Look I didn't come here to have an argument with you, will you help me or not?" the boy said, his voice barely holding back his rage, which he realised wasn't going to help right now.

The kyuubi pouted a little that his fun had been taken away promptly laughed again "I suppose I can, but only because I like your spirit, kit…" the fox paused, as if waiting for something….

"Any ways…" Naruto interrupted the demon fox.

"Don't push your luck kit" the fox Retorted, the menace returning to his voice, followed by a sigh of exasperation "All I can think is that this pretty little purple haired angel of yours, means more to you than you realise, and obviously a lot more than that screeching pink haired banshee...gah my ears only stopped ringing last night..." 'man she should be in the torture section of the ANBU, people would do anything for her to simply shut up' thought Kyuubi with a frown.

"Oh…Thanks…I guess…" Naruto dejectedly replied, barely paying any attention to the fact that Kyuubi had insulted Sakura, his first crush, and now...well team mate was all.. and with that he left the Kyuubi for the real world, to ponder what the demon fox had said to him.

'I know I gave up on Sakura-Chan awhile ago, I didn't need that stupid fox to spell out that screeching of hers, but who was that purple haired girl I wonder...?' The thought of this puzzled the poor boy as he sat alone pondering this weird chain of events.

Forced to grow up on the cold hard streets of Konoha and in the orphanage as a hated Jinchuuriki had been tough on the young and innocent Naruto, Money was tight, which wasn't helped by the shops either refusing to serve him, or upping the price three or four times and only selling him the worst of goods. and almost the entire village seemed to despise his mere existence, but the thought that he had friends always made him feel comfortable, but he never thought that were so different to him were his friends, 'maybe if I could find this purple haired girl...she maybe.. could like me as a friend' he thought, but then it occurred to him that he knew nothing about this girl, much less if she even existed apart from in his nightmares 'oh well...wait hang-on a minute...tomorrow is...oh Kami-sama I have to meet baa-chan early tomorrow morning I better get to bed ' he thaught with a gulp as he quickly laid back and started to settle down again, dreading the punishment that crazy blonde haired woman could deal out when you annoyed her...which seemed to happen quite easily these days...yet as he drifted off to sleep,the image of the purple haired girl flitted through his mind, and there was a small voice in the back of his head saying ' what if….'
