ever...i dont want another sasuke from this village.... ren would be completely crushed....he wont be able to laugh again..." naboru slowly got up and sat on the floor with her. he looked deep into her eyes. " are your sure thats what ren would do....or are you trying to tell me something?" she looked away from him and wipped her eyes on her sleave. "..no..." naboru sighed and leaned his head back against the bed. " then what would you do if i left....and never came back..." his eyes drited over to her to see her reaction to the question. her face was hidden under her hair. she leaned forword and kissed him on the cheek. she lightly whispered "..i dont know.
i just want to keep my friends together...i've seen sakura when sasuke left.
i've watched naruto go through hell. with jiraiya to he just wasnt himself.
kinda like you...oh and while im on the subject of friends...KiN and syro are expecting.." naboru turned his head to look directly at her. "expecting what!?" calera smiled and got up. "i think you know...now come on we gotta get you outta here." naboru looked towords the window " now? but its still daylight?!" he slowly stood up. calera laughed a bit "your so stupid nabo-kun...hold still for a second." she placed her hand on his chest and took it away 3 seconds later. " there now we can get you out of here easier"
he looked at her confused. " what the hellll!" his voice was femanine. he touched his face and noticed they were not the same features he was used to. he looked down at his body and yelled "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!"
calera laughed its just until we are out of the city...ren and i already made a plan..to get you out. so time to go. before kakashi gets there without us"
naboru was even more confused. " you know i hate it when you dont tell me things i need to know" he grumbled. she took her by the hand and lead her to the door. she closed her eyes and passed right through the sheild. calera looked back at the girl naboru an giggled. "pink is a nice color on you.." naboru looked down at his clothes. they were the same color grey he had always worn. calera laughed even more "your blushing.." she said naboru's face dropped and she sighed. "why?" they were almost at the door when they saw naruto coming in. he waved at calera and stopped to talk to her. "hey calera...is naboru up?..." he noticed the red haired girl. "whos this?" calera looked around and grabbed naruto by the sleave with her free hand. "come on your going on a date" naruto blushed and yelled "A D-D-DATE!??!?"
he pulled back a little bit but calera pulled him out the door. when they were a sfe distance away from the hospital and the anbu scouting out for naboru. she lead the two down an alley and stopped. naruto was blushing deep red. "c-calera wh-what are you doing!??" calera smiled and whispered. "you'll see" her voice was playful. she touched naborus chest and he turned back into his normal self. naruto was shocked. "whoa!.calera i didnt know you could do that!" calera covered his mouth and shushed him. "dont yell"
she said quietly. she took her hand away and noticed she was still touching naboru's chest. she pulled her hand back and faced the two boys. "well good to see your up finally" naruto laughed. naboru rolled his eyes and said " yepp.." naruto looked curious. "so...i hear you took out two of the akatsuki men. huh?" naboru looked at him and said "..i dont remember...i thought you were going to say something about the ten tails" naruto looked away and sighed "yea i was going to bring it up but i didint know how to so i was going to let one of you tell me about it" naboru patted the back of his head with his hand and slowly began "...to be honest i thought jiraiya told you..about it..im shocked he didnt..but anyway when i was little my..parents as you probably know kicked me out of house,clan, everything...beacuse..of the 10 tails. but really they were the ones who sealed it iniside of me and kept it a secret from the whole world" naruto looked puzzled " but i thought that there was only 9..." he held his stomach lightly" naboru shook his head " thats what everyone thinks huh?..well everyone is wrong. the ten tails is a mixture of all the other 9 tailed beasts good chakura. so im 100% good..but im bad at the same time. the power i hold inside of me...as you know naruto.
is a killer. i cant control it at all when i get even the slightest bit annoyed so thats why..i wear these.." he pointed to the sashed that surrounded his chest. he flipped one over to show him the markings. "oh so they are seals?" naruto asked naboru nodded "yea jiraiya-sensei made them for me when he saw that i couldnt control it. so back to the story. the person who created the 10 tailed beast was...my grandfather. he sealed it into a tiger but when the tiger died he had to store it in something...or someone fast...so he aske my mother and father to seal it inside me.." naruto couldnt stand to hear the story anymore. " how could they...how could they do that to their own son.." his fists tightened. calera put a hand on naruto's shoulder " you two are like twins almost the same story..huh?" naboru flinched "no.
we may be similar but not the same...naruto looks out for his friends..i-.."
he looked at naruto "...cant even look out for myself..." naruto smiled sweetly and said "yes you can you protected everyone until i got here when pein attacked..you can look out for everyone and your self...just like jiraiya told me you could." naboru's eyes shot up to naruto's face and then back down to the ground. calera jumped and said " oh shit we have to go naboru-kun ren packed your stuff and kakashi is waiting for us a mile outside the gate." naruto was confused. " do you have a mission or something?" calera pushed naboru out of the alley and said over her shoulder " no...we're leaving for a couple months..dont worry we'll come back.." she gave naruto a sweet smile and dragged naboru around the corner out of narutos sight. "wait your leaving!..." he ran after them but when he got around the corner he couldnt see them anymore. he was stumped. then he heard sakura calling for him. "hm...uh...YEA I'M COMING SAKURA-CHAN!" he turned slowly and ran the opposite way naboru and calera went.
kakashi sighed and said " now i know what it was like for naruto and sakura"
he laughed sliently and leaned up against a tree. he took out a book and looked at the cover. " not as good as jiraiyas books but readable.." he opened it to the first page. -
ren was pusheing calera and naboru out the door. the sky had turned a deep pink. " ok ok! stop pushing me ren!" calera yelled. ren shushed her and pointed to the neighbors houses with the lights off. naboru was laughing at them then he remembered the books at jiraiyas house he had to get. "you guys go ahead i need to get something..i'll catch up i promise.." he turned and ran towords jiraiyas house. ren reached out to grab him but he was to late "damnit nab-...GET BACK HERE!" he yelled and calera smacked him in the chest and made a mocking shush noise. he snorted and ran after naboru. he caught up to naboru when he was unprying the board off the door. "i have to get my books from in here.. dont worry jiraiya said i could.." ren and calera looked at eachother confused "um naboru..?" naboru looked over his shoulder and smiled "i'll tell you later.." he got the board off the door and opend the door. he flipped on the light and saw everything dusty and dark. he looked down and remembered a couple summers ago when jiraiya first started ''hotsprings thursday'' ~~(played with i'll follow you into the dark -cover katethegreat19)
naboru knocked on the door and heard someone yell "the doors open!" he opened the door and walked in. he smelled jiraiyas stinky colone and turned his nose up "whay dose he wear that smelly stuff it dosent even smell good"
he said to himself "jiraiya sensei? where are you?" he walked into the hallway then into the living room and saw jiraiya sitting on the couch watching the last minutes of a crime turned his head sideways to see his visitorand smilled. "oh hey naboru! you can put your stuff on the tableright there.i'll just be a couple more minutes ok?"
naboru turned around and put his bags on the kitchen table and said "what are you watching jiraiya?" he didnt hear his answer because the men on the tv started shooting and the sound was so loud it made jiraiya jump. naboru laughed and said"nice jiraiya sensei.
nice...your so weird" jiraiya laughed with him and said "alright,then if your ready to go with your weird teacher then lets get going already..?!" he stood up and pressed a button on the remote. the tv turned off with a flash and he turned around. naboru stood in the doorway of the living room and hallway smilling at his master. jiraiya looked confused "what? do i have something on my face? what?!?" naboru just laughed and said "no its nothing..." jiraiya smiled and claped his hands together "ALRIGHT! lets go!"
he walked over to naboru and put his giant hand on naborus head."so first lesson about woman..never let them see you peeking.." naboru laughed as jiraiya pushed him ahead to lead out the way. he turned around in time to see jiraya step out and close the door. "jiraiya..you left the lights on" he reminded him. jiraiya waved it off and said "its ok i always leave them on..it lets some people know im home instead of out on a mission. "your out on alot of missions though..oh i get it.." jiraiya nodded and walked down the pathway. naboru smilled as jiraiya looked over his shoulder and said "come on naboru follow me"
~~ calera shook naboru and he snapped out of it. "naboru?!?!HELLO!?" he smilled at her and said " ok i'll be two seconds" he ran down the hallway as memories came flowing back to him. as he ran tears fell from his face and hit the floor in a trail after him. he got to jiraiyas bedroom and opend the door slowly. he stepped in and flipped on the light. he examined the room and closed his eyes. he took in everything slowly the sight the scent the feel of the covers on the bed the millions of papers scattered on the floor like usual. then he got to the dresser and opened the top drawer. "there you are" he smilled lightly as he lifted up two dusty books. he blew on the front covers and saw the old drawings he did on them. he chuckled and put them in his bag. he went to close the drawer when a tingling sensation went over him. he looked in the drawer and saw jiraiyas old shirts and necklacess he almost never wore. he grabbed them and stuffed them in his bag. he ran over to jiraiyas night stand and opend the drawer. there were a couple of books with pencils attached to them. he grabbed them and stuffed them in his bag. "jiraiya i'll finish them for you...i know how your mind works.
front and back..i want you to be proud of me..i need to redeam myself for letting the secret slip" he walked to the door and took one look back. he had put everything back the way he left it with some drawers now empty. he quickly called to his friends "almost done!" he ran into the bathroom and grabbed jiraiyas smelly colone and when he went to shut off the light he saw a box that he had never seen before. he walked over to it and picked it up.
it was slightly heavy to be this sized box. he was scared to look in it but opened it anyway. inside the small red box was 3 necklacess. they each had 2 words on them. he picked up the necklacess and read them in order. " naboru-never..." he read them aloud "naruto-give" his eyes were stuck on the 3rd name. "jiraiya......-in." he was shaking. he closed his eyes and held the necklacess close to him. he took thm away and put them on. he turned and flipped the lights off. he ran down the hall and saw ren and calera waiting impatiently at the doorway. "FINALLY!" calera said. ren was the first to notice the necklacess. "whered you get those?" naboru smilled and said "jiraiya got them for me." slowly he hid naruto's necklace under his shirt.
calera and ren ran out the door. naboru walked out and turned the light off.
" on another mission huh?" he laughed as he ran after his friends.
"there you guys are your only 10 minutes late..i expected way later." kakshi laughed. calera glared at naboru "we wouldve been on time if it were'nt for him" kakashi sighed and looked at the 3 teammates. " reminds me oh my old team.." he turned around "but lets not have another flashback...well lets go"
he began to 3 others followed quietly. "so where are we going anyway"
naboru asked. ren smilled and said "you'll see when we get there..we need kakashi to open the lock thats why hes leading the way" naboru hated being in suspense. calera could see their desination. " I SEE IT!..naboru your going to love it. the teachers where going to use it but the decided to give it to the students who need it...just to cool off or relax. they are so nice to us...arent they ren-kun?" ren nodded slightly and looked behind him at naboru who was walking slowly. he slowed and walked with him. calera noticed to late she and kakashi were at the gate. ren put his arm around naboru. "ya know im sure jiraiya would be proud of you anyway you handled that fight with pein..you protected your friends." he guessed at what was bothering naboru and missed. naboru looked up at ren who stood alittle over a foot above him. then he looked ahead. " yea...i know that...i wish he could be here" ren rubbed naborus hair and said "but he still is...like you said in your sleep he'll be with us.." naboru blushed lightly. "do i really talk alot in my sleep?" ren smiled as they got to the gate. kakashi yawned and said " well good night...i'll see you 3 in a couple days..im going home.." he patted calera on the back a little and gave ren and naboru a little nod and left. ren,calera and aboru watched as he slowly disapeared over the hill.
calera held the gate open. "come on boys..."she smilled and walked in.
ren and naboru almost missed it ren grabbed the ate just in time to reopen it before it closed. naboru walkd in after ren and he heard the gate lock 3 different times. calera walked over to the two boys and put an arm around each boys necks. "my boys together..a-" she thought. "haha..yea my boys.." she smilled and lead them into the courtyard. the weather in this room was dirrerent then it was outside. "its the middle of fall its not supposed to be this warm" naboru said surprised. calera laughed and said. "yea Red this is an odd room that anko-sensei came up needs a little bit of chakura once every couple hours. but kakashi used alot on it so it should be good to...tommorow night" she walked over to the pool and said "last one in has to do laundry" she jumped in. ren and naboru looked at each other and ran for the pool. they both jumped in at the same time. naboru was going up for air and couldnt. his eyes turned dark grey and for a second his surroundings flashed to bubbles and white. he pushed back and ound himself above water. ren and calera were loooking at him confused. "haha got scared did ya?" ren joked. but all naboru could see was the orange haired men staring at him. "n-no.." he choked out.. he hit the edge and snapped out of his vision. he held his head and said "whe-wheres my room?" calera looked at ren smiled disbelieveingly "are you jokeing...its only 8" naboru shook his head and looked at his friends. "yea im joking haha" he laughed it off and calera and ren joined him. 6 hours later ren decided to call it a night and kissed calera on the cheek. "good night.." he whispered in her ear. he walked over to naboru and pushed him in the pool "night red!" he walked away laughing. when he resurfaced he saw calera was laughing to. he rolled his eyes and laughed to. "haha very funny" he got up on the edge and sat there for a second. he shivered and took his shirt off. calera gasped when she saw the tattoo like mark on his side. it wrapped up his side and down his arm.
he grabbed his side and almost yelled. calera swam over to him and tried to help him but he pushed her away. "n-no..dont..." he was shaking. she got out and stood him up. he grabbed onto her and fell backwards. she wouldnt let go of him so she fell in the water to. when he hit the water. his eyes fashed open and she was watching him. he closed his eyes and blasted forword straight into her. they were above the water and she didnt realize it right away but he was kissing her. she opened her eyes and saw him pull away slowly his deep purple eyes peircing her blue-black eyes. at that moment she knew his pain. his suffering everytime he sees ren and her. she slowly put her hands on his face. naboru stood straight up. calera did to. she noticed a change in his height. he was taller, possably taller then ren. "y-your taller h-how.." naborus blazing red hair was darker from the water but was still a different color. his wet hair fell in his eyes. she started to blush. then she heard ren cough loudly from the other room snapping her back into reality "uh..i....im going to go to bed now...i'll s-see you tommorow" she tried to back up but she hit the edge of the pool. he put his hands on each side of her and looked at her face examining every detail from her deep eyes to her rosey red lips, her faint pink blush. he leand in closer to her and she closed her eyes. "n-no i cant.." she ducked under him and swam until she got to the steps. she grabbed the rail and pushed herself up. she ran to her room she closed the door and sat down before it. her back against the door made her shiver from the cold. she curled up in the fetal posision and began to cry. "naboru go to your own room..."she said knowing he was about to knock he stood infront of her door for 2 seconds and left. she got on her hands and knees and looked through the crack in the door. she saw naboru walk slowly back to the pool and stumble. he fell into the pool as he reached for something that was not there. calera got up and screamed for ren as she ran out of her room. in 1 minute he was there jumping into the water to save naboru. naboru could feel ren had him in his arms. calera gasped as ren resurfaced with naboru. he swam to the edge and calera's eyes were wide.
"n-naboru..." his lips were blue and he was even paler then usual. ren looked at him and yelled. "C-CALERA GO GET SAKURA..OR INO SOMEONE!.." quickly. calera was frozen with fear. ren slapped her when he got out with naboru. "CALERA!....DONT JUST SIT THERE!..you've had some medical training now start working on him i'll go get help!" calera looked up at ren then back at naboru without fully thinking she put her mouth on his and plugged his nose. she breathed and felt for a pulse. there was a faint pulse but A pulse. she pushed on his chest and he coughed up water. he shot up and yelled "NO!"
