I didn't think so many would like this story, I'm sorry if this chapter took me a while, I had extreme writers block because I didn't think I would be writing another chapter and I wrote myself out in the previous chapter. I am also doing drivers Ed, so I have 8 hour classes for this whole week which is going to make me go insane. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter because I had a fun and crazy time writing it, you know staying up at weird hours at the night. Yeah.

Thank you for all the support. :3

Chapter ㅍ

In that one moment so many things were going through Naruto's head. What was going on? Gaara had never showed any signs that he liked him, no that he noticed anyway. Maybe it was just an act of kindness and love because he was leaving him and felt bad for Naruto. Whatever the case Gaara just left through the front doors with his siblings leaving a very sad and very confused Naruto. The young blonde was having a conflict with himself. He never thought himself to be gay until Gaara had presented himself. He wondered what the others would think of him. Would they hate him? Would they ignore and disown him if he felt the same way for Gaara. Naruto couldn't bear to think of how everyone would treat him. He only had Shino, and maybe Sasuke. Others thought he was weird and out of control, and maybe he was, maybe he was just tired and needed a friend like Gaara. Although, Gaara never spoke up about his sexuality, he never told Naruto maybe for fear of losing him. No, he couldn't think like that, Naruto would never hate Gaara, he was his best friend and his brother, but could he like him as a lover? A feeling of dread came over the young boy as he thought of all these possibilities. Why did Gaara not trust Naruto to tell him is he did love him, Naruto wouldn't of cared, he would have supported him. He would have done anything for him, because he knew that Gaara would do the same for him. Although now a whole new world was now open to him... Boys.

Sasuke went up to the blonde and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright Naruto?"

"I don't know." He whispered.

"Come on, it's group." Sasuke said taking the blondes hand and pulling towards the room where everyone was waiting.

"Okay everyone is here!" Kakashi said in a happy tone. "I want everyone to go around and say how they are feeling, Naruto you start."

"I pass." Naruto said putting his head down into his hands with a small sigh. He was not in the mood for group right now.

"You have to participate Naruto." Kakashi told the boy.

"I said I pass you stupid excuse of a councillor."

"Is there a problem?" He asked the young boy.

"I quit." Naruto walked out of the room.

He went over to his room and locked himself in by shoving his bed against the door to make shure that he would be alone. He then went into the bathroom and smashed his hand into the mirror, sinking down to the floor he spilled tears, wiping his eyes with his now bloody hands that were all cut up and bleeding allot. There was banging at the door and a few minutes passed when Tsunade walked in.

"Oh Naruto." She whispered. "What have you done?"

Naruto looked up with tears in his eyes. "I don't know, I'm so confused Tsunade."

"Why don't we go over to the clinic before you bleed out then we can discuss things alright?"

The boy nodded as a response. Tsunade helped him up and guided him over to the clinic where they treated his hands. Tsunade then took him in the opposite direction of her office. Naruto started to panic, this was the way to the lab. And the lab ment pain. Pain ment Kyuubi would get mad and shit would happen that Naruto couldn't control.

"Tsunade, I don't want to go to the lab." He said in a desperate voice.

"You have to." She replied in a monotone voice.

"Kit, you have to wake up this is just a dream." The Kyuubi suddenly said.

'How is this a dream fox?' Naruto asked, tears in his blue eyes, pouring down his whiskered face.

"Wake up now!"

Naruto shot up in the bed he was laying in, he looked around, Tsunade was sitting on a chair beside him. He tried not looking at her because of the dream he just had was still making him question his trust for her.

"What happened?" Naruto asked in a shaky voice.

"We found you in the bathroom bleeding out, did you cut?" She wrote on a clipboard she had in her hand.

"No, I didn't cut, I punched the mirror and then the mirror cut my hand." Naruto said looking at his bandaged hands.

"Why did you punch the mirror?" Tsunade asked scribbling some stuff down.

"I hate kakashi, and Gaara left me..."

"Kakashi is just trying to do his job, how's Kyuubi been lately, you haven't had any outbreaks."

"Sad." More writing, it was getting on Naruto's nerves.

"Why is he sad?"

"Shukaku left, he strives to be like him now." Naruto said remembering the vow that Kyuubi had made to him when he found out that his brother was leaving.

"That's good news!" Tsunade shouts clipboard thumping down on the table beside her. "Kyuubi, if you are well behaved I can let you out so you can go to Shukaku so you can be together."

"Is what she says true kit?" Kyuubi asked Naruto with a hopeful tone coming through in his normally expressionless voice..

'Yes, I believe she is telling us the truth.' Naruto told the fox with a small smile.

"You can go now if you want, you have been here for almost a week."

"A week?" Naruto asked surprised that he slept that long, they must of kept him asleep.

"Yes, you did need time to recover." Tsunade told him taking an IV out of his hand. "Now go, I heard Sasuke and Shino were asking to see you."

Naruto swung his legs over and hopped off the bed with a slight wobble to steady himself then walked to the door with Tsunade trailing behind him with a close eye.

"Oh, I also need to tell you are on suicide watch because of the incident, so you will be watched." Tsunade informed the boy motioning to the red wristband that the boy now noticed.

"I don't want to kill myself." Naruto said with a weird look on his face pricking slightly at the band.

"You could be lying to me, and it's just for two weeks."

Naruto sighed and walked out and saw that when he walked into the main area the there were two new people and that everyone was staring and him, their eyes aimed in the red wristband he had on. The band that was humiliating to have on, and it was the most popular topic that everyone liked to gossip about. Great first impression for the new people.

"Naruto!" The blonde looked over to see Sasuke walking up to him with a small smile on his face.

"Hey Sasuke." Naruto said while grabbing the back of his head and looking down at the floor with a slight blush rising on his whiskered cheeks.

"I was worried when they said that you were at the clinic, and you didn't come back, and they wouldn't tell me anything. I was scared Naruto!" Sasuke was getting more upset by the second.

"Sasuke, why do you care?" Naruto said with a sheepish look plastered on his face.

"Naruto, I care because you are my friend." The raven haired boy sighed. "Why wouldn't I care for you?"

"Not many do." The blonde looked to the floor again finding it hard to look at his friend.

Shino then walked up beside Sasuke and looked at Naruto's wrist causing the boy to hide it behind his back.

"Are you-"

"No I'm not." Naruto cut Shino off before he said anything to damaging.

"But-"

"I'm not Shino!" Naruto said louder.

"There are new kids." Sasuke said trying to get the two to stop going at each other. "One of them is crazy, and the other is super outgoing."

"What are their names?" Naruto asked looking at the two newbies.

"The one with the kind of darkish blue hair is Tobi, and the one with black hair and thick brows is Rock Lee. Tobi has been hanging around with us since he came, come meet him." Sasuke nodded his head towards a boy jumping up and down on a beanbag.

"Tobi this is Naruto." Sasuke introduced the two.

"Hi, hi, hi, Tobi is a good boy. Tobi is Naruto's friend." The boy bounced around.

"Um hi." Naruto took a step back unsure of the overly energetic boy.

"Kit this kid is crazy." The Kyuubi said.

'I know Kyuubi, he seems worse than us.'

Just then Naruto was thrown to the ground, he looked up and saw the hugest eyebrows he had ever seen in his entire life.

"Don't hurt Naru-Chan!" Tobi yelled pushing at Lee with the force of a feather.

Naruto got up and walked away which made Lee mad. "Don't walk away from me!"

"What do you want?" Naruto asked remaining calm.

"They tell me that you are the strongest one here, I will take you down." Lee said getting into a fighting position.

"No."

"Get lost Lee." Sasuke said getting between the two teens.

"One day, Uzumaki." Lee sneered as he walked off.

"Wow only back for a few seconds and you are already causing trouble." Shino said suddenly appearing.

"Hey Naruto?" Sasuke stared.

"Yes?"

"What's the red wrist band that you have on mean?" He asked.

"Nothing." Naruto mumbled.

"Fine, I'll go ask Sakura." Sasuke said turning towards the pink haired girl.

"No!" Naruto shouted. "Please Sasuke, It's humiliating for me to have it on."

"Please tell me."

"He's on watch for suicide." Shino stated.

"Shino!" Naruto yelled at the same moment Sasuke said, "What?!"

"The red wristband means that a patient is on watch for suicide, it normally lasts two weeks and he is not allowed anywhere where monitors can't see him. That means he can't go anywhere without someone watching him, they even put cameras in his room when he sleeps." Shino informed the young raven haired boy.

"How did this come about Naruto?" Sasuke asked now mad.

"Why should I have to tell you?" Naruto demanded.

"Because I care about you!" Sasuke shouted.

"There is no need to get mad at me, I have done nothing wrong." Naruto then turned away and walked over to his room, before he got there something grabbed his wrist and spun him around. It was Sasuke.

"Look I'm sorry I got mad, I just feel protective of you." Sasuke admitted looking down at the ground unable to face the blonde in front of him.

"I got mad and punched a mirror which ended up cutting my and and wrist." Naruto said in a sad tone. "I wasn't trying to hurt myself, I just wouldn't control my emotions, and I lost it."

"Let's go outside for a bit, you are looking a bit pale from not seeing the sun for a bit." Sasuke said gesturing to the door that lead to the outside sunshine.

But before Naruto could take a step Kakashi came up to him and told him that he had a visitor, Naruto was confused, he hadn't had a visitor in quite a while. He followed Kakashi to a room and saw that it was his old acquaintance Iruka. Naruto sighed hoping that it was Gaara.

He walked in and sat down across from Iruka, the older man smiled at how the boy in front of him had grown. But at the same time it also saddened him that he had been in here for almost 2 and a half years.

"Hello Naruto." He started.

"Long time no see Iruka." Naruto said bitterly.

"I'm sorry that I have not visited in quite a while, I have been occupied with other matters-"

"That are more important than a thirty minute chat with somebody who worshiped you and was crushed when you stopped coming about." Naruto cut him off.

"I'm so very sorry Naruto, I got married and had a kid. You know he loves ramen, reminds me of you a bit." He smiled.

"You do know that I haven't had ramen in over two years." Naruto said.

"What do you eat in here anyway?" Iruka asked.

"Shit stuff, but I'm used to it." The blonde said.

"Naruto are you trying? To get better I mean." The older man asked with pre concern coating every word that came out of his mouth. He was worried for the boy he once cared for with a passion that still burns in his heart.

"No, I'm just moping around letting my life waste away. Of course I am trying, I have been struggling with my stupid tenant for a while. I only have a small amount of support and one of them left a week ago leaving me with even more confusion for myself to workout!"

"Tsunade told me that you could be let out soon." Iruke said in a small voice.

"She told me that too, I want to get out to see somebody."

"A friend?"

"I don't know what he is anymore." Naruto admitted.

"I'm glad I came today Naruto, I'll see if I can come more if possible. My new wife is strict, but I'll find a way."

"Goodbye Iruka sensei." Naruto said standing up walking back towards the hell he had been living in.

"Fun time?" Sasuke asked as Naruto joined him outside.

"Somewhat." The blonde sighed.

"Well, I have news." Sasuke said slowly looking at the ground.

"Tsunade said that I might be released soon. I don't know why I only like just got here."

"I'm happy for you. I might be able to go out soon too." Naruto said with a small smile.

"I wonder who will leave first?" Sasuke wondered out loud.

"Are you challenging me?"

"Maybe." The black eyed boy smirked.

"You're on, I'll be out first. wait, do you have a date already?" Naruto asked.

"No, not yet. It could still be another two months." Sasuke said.

"Alright, but we must aim to get better. No cutting corners and lying."

"You are on."

At dinner Shino announced that he was to be leaving in a few days, Naruto was happy for him, it seemed like everyone was getting their life in order.

"Kit, what's nagging you?" Kyuubi asked from out of the blue.

'Well I was wondering where you even came from.' Naruto replied to the foxes question. 'You can't of been born in me, and I don't remember when you came into my life.'

"I will tell all in deu time kit." The fox said cryptically. "All in deu time."

"You alright Naruto?" Sasuke asked. "You were staring into space for a moment."

"Yeah I was just talking with Kyuubi, well, asking him a question more specifically." Naruto replied.

"I thought you said he was gone." Sasuke said with a confused look.

"I never said that, we have just been working some things out with each other."

"Oh, what does he think of me?" Sasuke blushed slightly.

"I don't know." Naruto admitted.

"Time for bed everybody!" One of the nurses yelled. Naruto said a goodbye and went straight to his room, but before he could Rock lee when at him again pushing him to the floor and whispering about some guy Gai person.

"He's the best, he trained me to be the best. I will take you down because you're the strongest one here-"

"I'm not the strongest one." Naruto said.

"There are more powerful people here than me, but they are just on another floor." Naruto told him trying to get off the floor.

"What is going on here?" Tsunade asked striding up to them.

"I fell down and Lee was helping me up." Naruto said before Lee could say anything.

"Okay then, I just needed to know that you two weren't fighting." She said glaring at them causing both to squirm under the hard stare.

"Can we go please Tsunade, I'm tired." Naruto said.

"Alright then, see you both in the morning." THe busty woman said walking away not entirely convinced.

"Thank you Naruto, you have earned my friendship, and I hope to be a good friend to you." Lee said walking towards his room.

"Kit I kind of want to kill him." Kyuubi said all of a sudden.

'What?! Kyuubi you can't just say that.' Naruto scolded the fox. 'Besides, we need to be good so we can leave.'

"I know I know, but it's just so boring." The fox whined more.

'Shut up and lets go to sleep.' Naruto said climbing into bed. He looked over at the bed Gaara once slept in, vowing that he would see him soon.

"Come on Kit, let's have some fun." Kyuubi said just as Naruto fell into the darkness of sleep.

Naruto woke to the smell of blood, it was overpowering and it made him gag. The sound of footsteps were coming closer and lights flashed in all directions. He finally opened his eyes but saw that he was not controlling his actions or his anything for that matter.

"Naruto Uzumaki, put down the weapon for we will use force to remove it." Someone shouted.

"My name is Kyuubi no Kitsune, and I am one of the nine knights of Konoha!"
