Hello again, i'm back with chapter two of my first fanfiction on this sight. I hope it's good, and acceptable for you guy's! I worked hard on it! But you know of course that doesn't mean nothing XD. Anyway, Enjoy and love it please.

I would like to thank maxridelover for being my first reviewer, your my new best friend!. And things do get better for our dear blonde, just not just yet. There has to be a conflict before there can be a resolution.

Slave to Insanity

Chapter 2

Naruto sat, slouched in the passenger seat of his brothers car. His elbow on the armrest, hand resting beneath his chin. His sky blue eyes stared up at his once bedroom window, the dark curtains hiding the interior that really didn't change much. The only things different within the room, were the few indents in the clothes drawers. The few articles of clothing that were selected for the blondes transition, were stuffed within a small suitcase, which was at the moment being shoved into the trunk of the car.

It had been three days since Kyuubi broke the news to his younger brother, and those three days had been nothing but hell for the both of them. Naruto insisted that he stayed locked up in his room for the rest of his life, while Kyuubi struggled to get him to eat. Naruto's refusal to even acknowledge his elder brother, led to the incident of Kyuubi literally tearing the door off it's hinges. This later issued to the two days worth of cursing between the two brothers. Which, I may add, caused a lot of disturbances throughout the neighborhood. But the blondes tantrum did nothing to change the fact that he was still being put into an institution.

Kyuubi tried desperately, in between the yelling and the screaming, and on the blondes part, the occasional throwing of fists, to convince Naruto that were he was going wasn't as bad as it seemed to be. That he would be completely safe, and that in all honesty, he really wasn't going to be stuck there all that long, a few months tops. But Naruto still wasn't convinced. Just the fact that he was going to a place meant to keep those deemed as insane, was enough to drive him into a rage. He knew he was going to be subjected to psychological tests of all kinds, and he was definitely going to be put on some type of fucked up drugs that was supposed to make him feel all calm and reserved one moment, depressed and suicidal the next.

He had been through that type of position before. Before Kyuubi had custody of him, and before he was able to even look at another human being without flinching. He was put in his own room, sectioned off from other people, and only on certain days would a creature draped in a white shroud of antiseptic and medicine unlock his door and present themselves. He remembered all the diagnosis he received and all the medication that was shoved down his throat. He remembered all the cold hands that held him down while injecting a needle in his arm when he decided enough was enough. And he remembered the constant fear of being alone each night, in that one white room, sitting in the corner of the hospital bed, watching the shadows to be sure nothing would crawl out of the emptiness and drag him away.

He lost many sleepless nights, during those times. More than he did now. But at least then it kept the nightmares away. That was also around the time he met Baa-chan. His exact thoughts for when he first saw her screaming in the halls of the hospital, was that 'she was one scary bitch'. And when she introduced herself to him, that thought didn't change. But he grew to like her, and her brash ways of getting things done. Although there were times when they butted heads. Like when she demanded he take his medicine and he refused. Or when he decided it would be a great idea to switch out the coffee in the doctor's lounge with Soy Sauce, just because he was bored. Or when he decided to start calling her Grandma when she personally declared she was 25. (yeah right)

She never forced him to tell her about what went on in his head, or if he felt the need to 'harm' himself or others. She seemed to understand when he wanted to be alone to his own thoughts, or when he just needed someone to be there by his side. Even if it wasn't to talk, but more of just having the presence of someone who wouldn't try to label him as mentally unstable. She cared for him in a way that practically screamed motherly, and Naruto was fine with that. Never knowing the love of his real mother, gave him the need to receive it from Tsunade. Even if he called her old, and she got pissed beyond belief, she knew he did it all on good terms. He just hoped that she hadn't changed. That she was still that...somewhat kind doctor he met only a few years ago. And he hoped that she would keep her promise and take care of him.

The Uzumaki brothers had been on the road for a little over an hour, both passing the time in there own ways. Naruto glaring out the window at the passing outside world, and Kyuubi cursing at every jackass that cut him off.

"You know, they said I will be able to come and visit you" Kyuubi said, glancing over at the blonde who didn't seem to have heared him. This the red head knew was a lie, he was just getting the cold shoulder. 'Little bitch, acting like a PMSing girl' Kyuubi thought agitatedly. "Every two months they have a Visiting Day, so i'll be able to come and make sure you havn't got in trouble" the redhead said trying to sound amusing. The blonde remained unresponsive, he couldn't give a shit about whether his brother came to see him or not. The fact that he had to stay in that place for over two months pissed him off.

His mind was reeling, the more the senery passed by his window, the more the blonde realized he was getting closer and closer to that god forsaken place. He watched as a car drove passed, a few kids his age were in the back seat, laughing and bickering about who knows what. He envied them. They lived simple lives, lives where they didn't have to constantly look over there shoulder every time they left their house. Or have constant nightmares of blood. He knew there were some teenagers out there that acted as if they knew what pain was. That they had to inflict it upon themselves to prove to the world that they were suffering. But the truth was that they didn't know crap. He knew what true pain felt like, what true suffering felt like. They knew nothing. And he hated them, all of them who thought that they could live a life so selfish. It just wasn't right.

He watched the car speed up, and cut in front of them, his brother gave a loud curse and slowed down slightly. Naruto smirked, but just barely. His brothers stress was somewhat pleasing to the blonde. He considered it another form of karma for allowing this little 'vacation', as Kyuubi had put it, to happen.

Naruto stared down at his knees. 'It's not his fault, he has to do this' the blonde thought. Thinking that he was being too harsh on his big brother. 'The bastard could have just as easily packed up our shit and moved us as far away as possible' a darker voice growled. 'They would have just found us and dragged us away' Naruto tried to reason, 'then we really wouldn't ever see Kyuubi again' he thought sadly. The voice 'tsked' and remained silent. Naruto never enjoyed the voice's presence, it made him uneasy and drove him to the point of locking himself in the bathroom and sitting in the bathtub trying not to cry. It irritated him, but there was nothing he could do.

"Son of a bitch!" Kyuubi yelled slamming his hand down on the steering wheel, which in turn emitted a loud honking noise. Naruto looked out the windshield and noticed the newest jackass to cut them off. This person was on a bike, there chest pressing down on the tank of the bike as they revved the engine. There helmeted head glancing over there shoulder once, before he turned back forwards and flipped them off.

"Bastard" Kyuubi muttered, clearly pissed about having to slam on brakes. Naruto on the other hand was beyond pissed, he was furious. The slamming of brakes caused him to jolt forward and hit his head on the glove box in front of him. He leaned back in his seat rubbing his forehead, glaring darkly at the cyclist in front of them. "Are you ok Kit?" the redhead asked, concern leaking into his words. Naruto just rubbed his head.

The blonde kept himself seemingly calm on the outside. But on the inside he was fuming. He could see it all happen clearly in his head. The cyclist continuing on his way down the highway, cutting off other cars at top speeds and not caring for the consequences. At one point, they would cut off yet another car, this one not being able to slow down in time. The cyclist would be hit from behind, there body flying forward off the bike and extended into the air for a few moments. As if someone pushed pause on a movie. Then they would come crashing down to the earth. There body skidding across the road, flesh and blood creating a trail down the asphalt. Bone and metal mingled on the pavement as the cyclist laid in a pool of there own blood, their body laying there in an odd angle, like a doll thrown by a child having a tantrum. The car that was behind them still would not have slowed down enough, and the already mangled body would be crushed by the wheels of the car, there intestines splattering against the road in an array of blood and gore.

Naruto would go past the scene and laugh.

It was another three hours before Kyuubi claimed that they had almost reached their destination. Naruto glared out the window, at the surrounding forest that seemed to go on endlessly on either side of the road. The trees were tall and thick, the trunk's ranging in width. The leaves were a luscious green, and he found himself wondering what they would look like in autumn.

"We're here Kit" Kyuubi suddenly said, breaking the blonde from the most peaceful thoughts he's had in awhile. Blue eye's drifted to stare out the windshield of the car, and sure enough, looming in the distance, was Naruto's new home.

It was a large building, and like Naruto had expected, it was plain gray and depressing to look at. It looked like the kind of place that would be on the front cover of a horror film, and he had a feeling that this would be like the next American Horror Story. The outside walls were made of gray brick, that were covered in windows that the blonde seriously doubted could even slightly open. The many acres of land the 'hospital' was built on, was surrounded by an iron fence, the tops of each of the bars spiked with a iron spear type head. 'How original' Naruto thought.

A guard stood at the gate entrance, as if awaiting the arrival of the two brother's. He had a scowl on his face, he obviously wanted to be doing anything but this. The guard walked around to the driver's side of the car and tapped the window. Naruto tuned him and his brother's voices out as soon as his name was mentioned, and he busied himself reading the large bronze plaque placed beside the gate. 'Kahona Institute for the Mentally and Criminally Damaged, Since 1876' it read. 'Mentally and Criminally Damaged?' the blonde narrowed his eyes at the words. He was no criminal, sure he put a few people in the hospital, but he sure as hell was no criminal. This just made his mood all the more cheery(#sarcasm).

The car began moving past the now open gates, and Naruto watched as his old life began to fade behind the slowly closing gates. He was trapped now, behind iron bars, just like a prison. Forced to be locked away from the outside world because people were unable to understand his differences. And were unwilling to try and understand. Sometimes he really hated the human society.

Kyuubi had stayed silent for most of the ride, but as the distance of the gravel road began to shorten, he decided to try and make amends. "Naruto...I want you to know that i'm not abandoning you, and I promise you, that you will be safe here" the redhead said, waiting for some type of outburst from his younger brother, but instead he received silence. "I know this sucks, but who know's!, maybe after a little time here, you won't be so tangled up in the past!". The redhead had intended it as a positive comment, but the blonde didn't take it that way. "Kyuubi..." Naruto whispered in a scary sort of calm, "shut the fuck up". Kyuubi's face fell, he prefered the silent reaction.

The Institution loomed over his head in all it's gray, depressing glory. The multiple window's seemed like the empty black eye's of a soulless monster waiting to devour him at any moment. As Naruto stood staring up at the taunting window's, Kyuubi was busy removing his bag from the trunk of the car.

They had pulled up close to the front of the large entrance, where another guard stood waiting. He asked, or in Naruto's opinion, demanded that they remain outside while he retrieved the head of the Institute.

To his distaste, the blonde was actually looking forward to seeing the old hag, he sort of missed her bipolar, irritating presence. "It's huge isn't it" the redhead said, walking up beside his young brother to stare up at the building as well. Without realizing it the blonde replied with a simple "yeah". Kyuubi smiled, he finally got a nonviolent reply. Granted it was probably not really thought through, but it was still non-violent...to his relief.

Naruto sighed, this was it for him, he was at the end of his line. Once he passed through those doors, he would most likely never see the outside world again. 'Oh, come on now, you act as if you're going to die' the dark voice whispered with a dark chuckle. 'I might has well be' the blonde thought back.

There was a peaceful silence for all of three minutes, before the grand double doors began to creak open. Naruto's eye's darted to the parting doors, is brother did the same, just without the mixed emotions of fear and slight anger. The guard from before stepped out first, and held open the door. Dirty blonde hair shone in the light of the setting sun, of course not as bright as the other blondes, but still shining. It was tied in two pony tails, both pieces resting over each shoulder, her arms were crossed over her overly large chest, and her hazelnut eyes glared at the two brothers.

"After almost two years of not seeing me, you're just going to stand there without even a word of hello?!" she growled. This question was directed to the other blonde, who in question purposely ignored her. 'If i'm going to be stuck here might as well have some fun' he thought. "Hey brat! Are you even listening to me!" Tsunade yelled, uncrossing her arms to point an accusing finger at his face. Still Naruto remained silent. Kyuubi on the other hand placed his hand on his forehead, 'oh jeez, not this again', he mentally sighed. The blonde woman marched up to the teen, grabing under his chin so he was forced to look at her, "you're such an ass, you know you're supposed to listen when your elders are speaking to you" she growled.

Naruto turned his emotionless blue eyes to look straight into her own hazel one's, and he finally let a smirk present itself on his lips. "I shouldn't start now, considering you might keel over dead any day now, right baa-chan?" he said mischievously. The blonde womans eye twitched, and suddenly the teen was in a choke hold.

"YOU STUPID LITTLE BRAT, I'M NOT EVEN THAT OLD!" Tsunade yelled, as Naruto flailed around in her arms, "let go of me you crazy old hag!" he yelled, as the blonde woman dug her knuckles into his scalp. Kyuubi and the guard just stared at the woman like she was insane. I mean you would be to if you worked around a bunch of lunatics day after day.

Naruto managed to escape her deadly headlock, only to be trapped in a monstrous hug. "I've missed you Naruto" she whispered, as the teen began to turn a bit blue. "Uh, Tsunade-sama, he's um turning blue" the guard said pointing to the teen in her arms. She let go of Naruto, and he stumbled backwards to escape the woman's insane strength. "Oh, sorry brat" she laughed. Kyuubi and the guard sweat dropped.

"Um, I have paperwork of some sort to sign, correct?" Kyuubi said after both blondes regained their composer. Naruto shot him a glare, and Tsunade gave him a slightly sad look. "Yes, just a few papers for the records, and that will be all" she said. Kyuubi nodded his redhead, and turned to Naruto, "well Naruto are you ready?" he asked gently. The younger Uzumaki 'tsked' and turned away from his brother, glaring down at the graveled ground.

Tsunade sighed, she knew this was not going to be the easiest thing in the world, and in truth she wasn't expecting it to, but she just hoped that this whole situation, wouldn't affect the brother's relationship. Because she knew that the only family they had left, was each other.

With a deep breath the blonde woman put on a smile and stood up straight. "Alright then blondy, time for the actual introduction to your temporary home..." she made sure to stress the word temporary. She turned and nodded to the guard, who in turn once again opened the entrance doors.

Tsunade turned back to the blonde with the same forced smile, "Uzumaki Naruto, welcome to the Kahona Institute for the Mentally and Criminally Damaged".

Damn, second chapter done already! I feel proud. I kind of noticed that throughout this chapter, Naruto seemed to go through weird mood swings. It all kind of works out with his passed and such. But anyway, this chapter is longer than the last one, seven pages! That's a first for me! *bows to imaginary applause*. Next chap will be Naruto's introduction and tour throughout the institution. I hope this doesn't screw stuff up, but I have an OC in this story who is very important to the whole thing, and she will be present throughout pretty much the entire fanfic. I hope you like her, and to make her get a few extra potato points (I love potatoes!) she is the reason Naruto and Gaara come together. So there's that. Sorry for the OOC ness but that is just how things turned out, i'm going to try to work Naruto's usually happy go lucky personality into the future chapters as best I can, but of course he needs to be a little traumatized from his past experiences. Anyway, I hope you liked this Chap. Please review! Thank you!

P.S. apologies for anyone who might take the comment about teens inflicting pain upon themselves for the attention of others. I know that isn't true for most people who do that, and I understand that completely, trust me. I just wanted to say that i'm sorry if it offends anyone.
