Chapter 2: Kyu and nightmares

Sasuke's P.O.V

Sasuke's POV

I watched Naruto walk out of the kitchen. Iruka sighed.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked confused.

"This is the true Naruto. He's not like others believe. He has been through so much and has coped really well. He lost his parents and he has been hurt so much by those he thought he could trust… he's never cried for his miss fortune or for himself only for those he lost as friends. You wouldn't remember this but there was a boy who enhanced anyone's chakra by playing a musical instrument he and Naruto became real good friends and he lost his friend because his friend saved a village. The village people thought the same as those here. They thought that he was a monster but he wasn't. He hadn't killed anyone… he had saved them." Iruka said staring into his cup.

"So this is the Naruto that we should know?" I asked trying to get tings right.

"Aa. He is different from other people. He lives for the people of this village not for him self. It's part of his way of life."

"Who's Kyu?" I asked curiously

"Don't get me wrong but Kyu is a teddy given to him by his parents before he was born. They didn't know weather they were having a girl or a boy so they bought a teddy that any child would like. When he was five he started calling it 'Kyu' he never said why. The teddy makes him feel safe in a strange environment… or so Kakashi says…"

"How…strange. I never thought I would see this side of him."

"What ever happened that made him lose his memory, may have caused this change to come out. Keep an eye on him for me please? He may get attacked even more now."

"Attacked?"

"Ever so often the villages attack him for some reason and he hides it. He doesn't want anyone to know. Don't tell him what I've told you he will get mad."

"Okay. I'll keep an eye on him for now till he remembers and may be we'll become friends but after I can't say if we'll stay friends."

"Just try and be his friend just now."

I nodded as Iruka stood.

"I'll show myself out. Good night Sasuke… oh on Sunday's he comes over to my house. You're more than welcome to join us."

"Thank you I'll think about it."

Iruka left and I placed the dishes in the sink. I walked up to my room I heard Naruto's soft breathing from the other side of the wall.

I woke to heavy breathing. He was whimpering and breathing heavily. I walked softly into the hall and heard him gasp as he woke up. I heard him panting slightly. I knocked on the door before opening the door.

"Dobe?" I asked walking into the room. I found him with his face buried in his hands.

"Sasuke-san. Gomen nesai. I didn't mean to wake you up." He said giving me a weak smile.

"It's okay. You want to talk about it?"

"Betsunie. I'm fine."

"Naruto sometimes it's best if you talk about it."

"… I remember having this nightmare when I was in the orphanage… I was sitting in a room where there were no windows only a door… around me there were seven people me chanting. I remember there were symbols on the ground. I… I remember some one grabbing my arm and then a sudden burst of chakra… after that I don't remember what happened. All I remember is that I felt safe. No hatred, no anger just safety."

"Maybe it was just a coincidence."

"Maybe but I need to remember everything between then and now."

"Don't push your self dobe. Get some sleep."

He nodded before lying down and closing his eyes. I went back to my room knowing that he wasn't asleep. I fell into another light sleep.
