The world of light and darkness
Chapter 2
The Lover
-Flashback-
"Hey…Are you the Orange Beast?" a female voice questioned
Naruto turned around to the speaker to see it was a girl around his age, maybe a year or two younger. She had long silver hair and blue eyes; she was wearing a school uniform. She was a very beautiful, but something about the look in her eyes was not right.
"Who's asking?" Naruto replied, wondering who the girl was.
"My name is Tomoyo Sakagami and I want to fight you." Tomoyo said to him before he turned and started to walk away, "Wait! Where are you going?"
"Sorry… Bvut I have something important to do, I don't have time to fight." He answers without turning back. Naruto got a few feet in before his instincts reacted and he dodged a kick from the girl. "What are you doing, I am not gonna fight you."
"You're the Orange Beast, one of the 4 Saint Beasts and Protector of the South." Tomoyo said as she continued her attacks, but Naruto either blocked or dodged them without any effort.
Music was heard as Naruto made distance between the two of them, which made Tomoyo stopped attacking; she looked around wondering where that noise was coming from. Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell-phone, which was ringing an instrumental version of the Dango Family song. He answered it while looking away from Tomoyo.
"Hey Nagi-chan, how are you doing? Are you feeling any better?"
"I am doing better Naru-kun, my fever has gone down a bit and it looks like I can go back to school next week." A female voice was heard from the phone.
"That's great! I am on my way over now to see you guys, tell Uncle Akkio and Aunt Sanae to save me some bread from the Bakery." Naruto replied happily, Tomoyo could see the happiness on his face from heard the girl on the phone was okay.
"Alright, I'll see you when you get here. See you soon Naru-kun" the happy voice said.
"See ya in a bit Nagi-chan" he said before closing the phone and putting it back into his pocket. He looked at Tomoyo who was prepared for any attack. He sighed and shook his head before walking again, "I have to go see my cousin, and I am not going to fight anyone now."
Tomoyo rushed forward at a quick pace as she raised her leg for a high kick, but the next thing she knew, she was on the floor staring at the sky and her back was hurting from the impact. She began to raise herself, flinching a little from the pain in her back, before coming to a halt at the sight of a fist stopping just an inch from her face. She could see Naruto staring at her; to her it felt like he was staring at her soul and she felt vulnerable. She had lost so easily and she did not like the feeling one bit. Naruto stood up and walked away again, this time she didn't stop him.
"There's your fight, I won." He continued walking as he turned his head a little to look at her "The name Naruto Namikaze, I hope the next time we meet it will be without the fighting."
Tomoyo watched as the blonde teenager walked away, surprised that he didn't finish the fight like most would want to and that he walked away after only one blow. Tomoyo then made a small vow that she would defeat him no matter how many times it took.
-TimeSkip-
After that Tomoyo kept on challenging Naruto to a fight almost every week, but they would always end with Tomoyo on the ground and Naruto walking away, not tsking the fights seriously. This continued on until one day that Tomoyo questioned Naruto on why he never finished any of their fights; he had replied that he doesn't fight anymore because the Saint Beasts were disbanded after the others went to college and he doesn't want to cause trouble for his family. After that, they started to become friends and became close. Naruto found out about the issues with her family and Tomoyo met his family. Then Naruto had done something that surprised Tomoyo, he challenged her to one last fight, but he had one condition if he won.
"If I win this last fight you have to go out on a date with me." He said with confidence in his voice.
Tomoyo was a little shock about that condition, but agreed to it none the less and they had their fight. Naruto had won the fight and he and Tomoyo went on a date and she didn't regret losing this time. After the first date, they went on a few more before deciding to become a couple and they both couldn't be happier, they went on dates, Tomoyo didn't go and fight random people anymore and Naruto was happy with dating Tomoyo and made time to spend with both his family and his girlfriend. Everything was perfect for them. But then, something had happened to Tomoyo's brother, he had jumped off a bridge into the river. Tomoyo's parent had been having issues between the two of them and they were considering divorce.
Tomoyo had been ignoring it, trying to focus on Naruto and his family so she wouldn't have to deal with her own, even though Naruto had tried to have her try reunite with her brother, Takafumi, but that didn't work. On the day her parents had talked about getting a divorce, they had argued on custody for Tomoyo and Takafumi, but that is what got to Takafumi. He ran out of the house saying that he would jump off a bridge if his parents had continued with the divorce; in the end he jumped into the river and got really injured. Luckily Tomoyo had called Naruto to try and find Takafumi, which he did after seeing them on the bridge and saved Takafumi from drowning by diving in after him. When they had brought him to the hospital, Naruto asked his grandmother, Tsunade, to help him. Takafumi would make a full recovery thanks to Tsunade, but Naruto had to admit that he had never seen Tomoyo's family closer than how they were right now, crying at Takafumi's side and hugging each other.
After Takafumi was released from the hospital the family walked down the Sakura Tree path, and where Naruto was waiting to see how Takafumi was doing. Tomoyo and Naruto continued to date and to them, everything was perfect. However, one thing had change that, Naruto had suddenly gotten an offer from a college that was very far away, it was a great college that only an idiot would deny. They not only offered him a full scholarship but an early start if he wanted, it would not be an issue with the high school if he chose to go. Naruto had thought about it and he had to admit it was a great deal, but he didn't want to leave Tomoyo, so he turned it down and decided to continue school. Tomoyo had found out that Naruto had turned down the college, though he had tried to keep it a secret from her. She had decided to confront him on a Sunday, when they had the day off. She was wearing a light purple long-sleeve shirt with a violet tunic over it, a khaki skirt with brown strips at the end, female boot and a red scarf Naruto had gotten for her birthday. Naruto wore a black shirt, which was covered by an orange vest with many pockets, blue jeans and a checker wristband on his right arm.
"Why did you turn down the offer? That college won't offer you that kind of deal again." Tomoyo asked
"I just didn't want to. Do we really have to talk about this on our day off?" Naruto replied, trying to change the topic.
"Yes! Please tell me, because I can't understand why you refused to go to that college. When we started this relationship we agreed that we would not hold anything back." Tomoyo exclaimed, determined to find out the truth.
Naruto sighed at his girlfriend's stubbornness; this was one of the things he loved about her, but sometimes it was a big pain in the ass. He didn't want to tell her that she was the reason he turned down the offer because he didn't want her to feel guilty and blame herself
"It doesn't matter, I already made my decision and it isn't yours to make." He said
"Naruto-kun… Even if it wasn't, I don't want you to turn stuff like that down without thinking about it."
"I did think about it Tomoyo-chan, but I didn't want it so stop talking about it."
"Bu-." Tomoyo started
"Enough! Like I said it was my choice and nothing you say will change my mind, it has nothing to do with you." Naruto interrupted.
*SLAP*
Tomoyo had slapped Naruto across the face; she bowed her head a little.
"It has nothing to do with me? Do you really think that after everything we have gone through? Remember what you said to me when you found out about my family, "Any pain you receive is my pain as well and any happiness you have is mine too." What you said goes both ways remember."
Tomoyo turns away and starts to walk away.
"When you remember that and want to tell me the truth, come find me." After she said that she started to run.
Naruto stared at the direction she ran and to him it felt like he messed up big time. It took him not even a second to figure out what to do, he chases after her. After a few minutes he finds her crossing a street when he notices at the corner of his eye, a driver that was not slowing down as he is reaching a red light. Tomoyo is only half way from crossing and it looked like she would get hit. Naruto rush to her in hopes to save the woman he loved from getting hit by a car, but it did not look like he would make it.
'Come on! Come on! Please let me make it in time!' He didn't notice in his rush to save Tomoyo, but he started to get a warm feeling that was rushing to his legs making him faster. The next thing he knew, he was pushing Tomoyo out of the way just as the car was about to hit.
"TOMOYO-CHAN, LOOK OUT!" Naruto shouted as he pushes her out of harm's way. Tomoyo turns her head around after she hits the ground to see Naruto in the air after getting by the car.
"NARUTO-KUN!" She screams as he hits the ground and rushes toward him. She gets to his side and looks at the crowd that was starting to surround them, "Call an ambulance quickly." As soon as she said that people were dialing there phone to reach an ambulance. "Naruto-kun please stay with me, don't close your eyes."
Naruto could barely hear her and the only thing he could feel was the pain going through-out his body. He tried to look at Tomoyo but he had a hard time keeping his eye open, he could feel the blood flowing down his face a little. He notice something a distance away from where he was lying, a small black mist just floating in the air and inside the mist look like a girl's face, her hair covering the eye and it had a blood coming out it mouth; it smiled evilly at him before disappearing with a blue glow. He lost consciousnesses soon after, hearing Tomoyo's cries for him to stay awake.
-Timeskip-
Tomoyo had never left Naruto's side since Tsunade finish the surgery and placed him in the room to recover. Tsunade had said that he was going to make it however he was in a coma and it wa unknown how long he was going to be in it. Tomoyo's family had shown up to take her home, much to her protest, but it was Kushina who calmed her down and told her that she would let Tomoyo know if anything changes. But even after that, Tomoyo sat next to Naruto's bedside almost every second, of everyday and kept apologizing to him.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Naruto-kun." Tomoyo kept repeating with tears flowing down her face.
"…Tomoyo…"
Tomoyo turned toward to see Kushina at the door with a bouquet of flowers in her hands. Tomoyo rubbed the tears out of her eyes as Naruto's mother replaced the dead flowers next to Naruto's bed. Tomoyo placed her hands on her lap and sat quietly, waiting for the red-head to speak.
"…You shouldn't blame yourself Tomoyo, Naruto would hate to see you like this."
"But it's my fault, if I hadn't fought with him over that stupid college deal this wouldn't have happened. I don't know why I was so angry at him. Maybe it's because I felt he didn't trust me or he didn't want me to be a part of something that important." Tomoyo sniffed as tears grew in her eyes again.
"That is stupid, tte-bane." Tomoyo looked at Kushina, who was shaking her head to what the younger woman just said, "Naruto treasures you and you are one of, if not THE most important person he has besides his family. He would do anything for you and have no regrets."
Tomoyo looked at her hands in her lap, knowing that what the woman said was true.
"But why would he not tell me why he refused the offer?" Tomoyo muttered out the question
Kushina gave a small sigh before looking between Tomoyo and Naruto before stopping at Tomoyo.
"I am probably going to get in trouble with Naruto for telling you this but if you want to know the real reason he stayed, I'll tell you." Tomoyo looked Kushina, wanting to know.
"Yes please."
"Alright the reason Naruto turned it down was because of you." Tomoyo gasped a little at the answer.
"M-me? But why?"
"He didn't want to tell you the reason so you would not feel guilty and blame yourself, but Naruto loves you too much to leave you. If he had gone, he would have left and went to someplace far away, further than any train or car could take. He didn't want to leave you because he loves you, he loves you more than anything in the world and he wanted to go to wherever you went to be with you. Like I said before, he would do anything for you and have zero regrets. Minato and I had supported his decision and so did everyone else in the family." Kushina finished with a smile.
Tomoyo was shocked at the news. He had truly given it thought like he said, but Naruto loved her so much he would give up a once in a lifetime chance to stay with her. He would rather be with her than go off and experience new things. New tears flowed down her face, she had slapped him because he would not tell her and know that she knew the reason, she deeply regretted it. Tomoyo looked at Naruto, she didn't know why but she started to smile and leaned forward, kissing his lips lightly.
"Naruto…I am truly sorry for doubting you and I am going to make a vow." She grabbed his hand and brought it to her face, "I will always love you and I will wait for you no matter how long it takes.
-Flashback End-
{Infirmary}
Naruto slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a bed he looks to his right to see Tomoyo, Tomoya and Nagisa sitting in the chairs next to the bed. Naruto slowly got up, grabbing his head as he shook it a little.
"Naru-kun, you should not be getting up" Nagisa said rushing to his side to stop him.
"I'm fine Nagi-chan, my head just hurt a little, but I remember a little more of my past." Naruto said getting out of bed, making sure he kept his balance as his feet touched the floor.
"What do you mean remember?" asked Nagisa, not understand what he meant.
"I tell you later, but there is something I got to do first." Naruto said as he was walking to a trembling Tomoyo.
{play BACK-ON / with you best song and I feel it go with this part}
As Naruto walk to Tomoyo she could not stop shaking as she look up at him she suddenly find herself in a tight hug. She could hear Naruto cry a little as he held her, Tomoyo could not keep her tears at bay anymore and broke down in tears as memories of her time with him came flooding her mind how they met the time, when they were dating, when he saved her brother after he jumped, their first kiss and when he saved her life. She also remembered a dream she had a while ago, of an older Naruto holding an older her with a small child with silver hair with blonde highlights and blue eyes between the two of them.
"N-Naruto-kun!" she cried as she hugged him as tight as she could, making sure that this wasn't a dream as well.
"I'm here Tomoyo-chan and I'm not going anywhere this time, now please stop crying." naruto said stroking her hair to calm her down. It seemed to work a little as she loosened her grip a little, but her tear kept coming.
"Baka I-I thought I lost you back, then it was so hard when you was in that coma I cried myself to sleep so many times," Tomoyo cried as Naruto hugged her closer to him, her scent from her hair filling his nose; lavender with a hint of peach, he missed her scent. " I'm so sorry for what had happened."
"I know…I know, you don't have to apologize. I messed up too." He said, separating them a little to give Tomoyo a comforting smile. "Can you forgive me?"
Her answer was a passionate kiss, which Naruto returned whole heartily. The reunited couple was so caught up in their own world they forgot the two others in the room. Nagisa and Tomoya stared at the couple making-out, blushes on their faces. Nagisa's face resembled a cherry and when her eyes averted a little in Tomoya's direction, she look to the ground in embarrassment from thoughts of her and Tomoya replicating her cousin and Tomoyo current activity. Tomoya had slightly wide eyes and a small blush that was barely noticeable, he also had similar thoughts of him and Nagisa like that before he shook his head to clear his thoughts. He had a feeling that the two would need their privacy and turned toward door while speaking to Nagisa.
"Nagisa, I think we should leave them they look like they need to be alone for a bit" Tomoya said as he started walking to the door when the door shot open to show the same blonde that was kick out the window. He looked a little beat up from Tomoyo's kicks and falling out the three story window, but other than that he was fine.
"TOMOYO, I HAVE COME FOR MY REVENGE!" yelled the blonde as he ran to hit her but was intercepted by Naruto slamming a fist in his stomach, the blonde boys eyes widen as Naruto had moved so fast and looked into the eyes of the one who hit him, Naruto's eye turned from azure to silver with a slant in them. As he look at Naruto he saw what look like a 10 tailed demon ghostly image behind him and the next thing everyone knew the blonde boy freaked out and fell back on his ass, shaking like a leaf.
"Keep your hands off my girlfriend teme" Naruto said walking back to Tomoyo, who smiled at her boyfriend protectiveness.
"Who is that monster" muttered the freaked out blonde
"That's Naruto Namikaze, he was friend of mine from middle school, but you might know him as Orange Beast of the South." answered Tomoya in a nonchalant tone
The boy started to sweat at the title and started to panic. He began to run around waving his arms like a chicken with it head cut off while everyone else just stared at him in both confusion and amusement. He then rushed up to Tomoya and grabbed his shirt, bringing Tomoya closer to him.
"You're telling me this guy is the Orange Beast! One of the strongest guys in the Japan and the Saint Beast of the South! Why is someone that dangerous here?"
"He might be strong Sunahara, but he is not dangerous." Nagisa spoke out to Sunahara, she was frowning at what he said about Naruto.
"Nagisa?" Sunahara was a little surprised about what she had said "How do you know that? Do you know who this guy is?"
Nagisa nodded, "Of course I know who he is one of my best and closest friends and he's also my cousin on my dad's side. So be nice to him." The tone she had in her voice surprised Sunahara and Tomoya because she never talked like that before.
"…Nagisa…" Tomoya said looking at her in surprise, before she looked at him with her innocent confusion look that she usually had.
"Huh? Is something wrong Tomoya?"
And just like that everything was back to normal. Naruto shook his head a little, giving a small chuckle at the moment happening in front him, Nagisa looked at back before remembering what he had said earlier to her.
"Hey Naru-kun, what did you mean earlier when you said I remember a little more of my past." questioned Nagisa, reminding Naruto of what he said earlier.
"Yeah…I think it would be better to do this at another location, the infirmary is not the best place for this" Naruto said, gesturing to the surrounding room. Everybody nodded in agreement before Tomoya gave out a suggestion to Naruto.
"You and I were heading to the Drama Club room to see Nagisa, maybe we should head there anyway and talk there." Naruto nodded to Tomoya.
"Alright, it sounds like a plan. Let's go." With those words said everybody left the room, Naruto being the last person as he closed the door behind him.
{Unkown}
A black mist began to form in a bluish glow; it started to take shape of a young girl. It was the same girl that appeared in the mist at Naruto's accident; however she seemed to be a little older. She kneeled down looking at the figure in front of her. The figure was wearing a full-length black coat with a hood and a waist-high slit going up the back. It has a large silver zipper that fastens at the top and zips down to seal the coat. It has silver drawstrings for the hood decorated with a large silver bead hanging from the end and a silver chain ornament adorned with four large cylindrical silver beads that fastens to a loop on either side of the collarbone region. The person's arms were crossed behind their back as he stared at the Light Orbs that were turning black.
"What is wrong master? Why did you summon me?" the girl asked
"HE has awoken from his coma." a deep voice came from the figure, revealing to be a man
"He? OH, you mean Otou-san? But I thought he was to stay in the coma forever."
"That was what originally was supposed to happen, but something caused him to awaken. Though it seems that he has temporarily lost his memories, but it is a matter of time before they return." The man turned toward the girl; the girl looked at the man in a silent question of what actions did he want taken.
"For now, we will continue our plans and if he somehow gets in our way, I will be counting on you to destroy him." The man continued before disappearing in a swirl of darkness, leaving the girl alone in her thoughts.
The girl started to giggle, then the giggling started to get more malefic and chaotic. Her evil laughter continued a while before she said to herself with an evil smile on her face(Picture the creepy smiles from Soul Eater).
"I was so happy to see you Otou-san and I look forward to the next time we meet, I will make sure you stay dead next time." The girl started laughing again before she started to fade in a bluish glow.
{Drama Club Room}
As the group arrived at the door; Nagisa opened it to reveal that there were already people there. Three girls were sitting in a few chairs talking. Two of them looked like twin except for certain details; one had short hair while the other was waist long, different eye colors and they had ribbons on opposite sides. The last girl had her hair in two small pigtails and the rest flowing down her shoulders and she had a tiny smile on her face as she talked to the girls. When they heard the door open, they turned to see Nagisa and the others enter through the door.
"Hey Kyou, Kotomi, Fujibayashi. Did you wait long?" Tomoya questioned.
"Not long, are you guys ready to discuss what play we are doing for the festival?" Kyou answered; looking at both Nagisa and Tomoya.
"In a bit, we have to talk to someone real quick before we start the club meeting." Tomoya replied, before turning his head toward the door, seeing Tomoyo and Naruto being the last ones to walk in.
As soon as Naruto had walked through the door, a small gasp was heard. The attention was turned to Ryou and Kyou, who looked at Naruto in light shock. The shorter haired twin ran to Naruto and gave him a small hug, which Tomoyo gave a small twitch at, and started to tear up a little.
"Naruto, you're awake." She said as the girl let go of the hug to look at Naruto, "We worried when we heard from Kushina-san that you were in a coma from an accident."
Kyou nodded her head, agreeing with her sister before seeing the look on Naruto's face. It was full of confusion and regret, which made her question him.
"Is something wrong Naruto, you look like your completely lost on something?"
Naruto looked back and forth between the twins before sighing; the Drama group and Tomoyo watched the scene wondering, except for Tomoya, what was wrong.
"I am going to regret asking this. But who are you two? Do I know you both?"
Like when he asked his parents and Tsunade, he felt regret on asking that question as he saw the girl in front of him tear up and start to cry. Danger senses filled his mind as he ducked from a book that was shooting at high speed at him, but because he dodged the book hit the person behind him, which was Sunahara. The book crashed into his head and slammed into the wall, he instantly was knocked out. Kyou ran up to Naruto and was about to give him the beating of a life-time, however she was blocked by Tomoya.
"Move it Tomoya, that idiot is dead." But Tomoya shook his head.
"Sorry Kyou, normally I wouldn't butt in on you hitting someone. But he is an old friend and there is a reason that he can't remember you or Fujibayashi." Tomoya tried to explain before Kyou interrupted.
"So what if he is an old friend, he not only made Ryou cry, but he also is saying he doesn't remember either of us. We have known him since elementary school; people don't forget things like that." Naruto was the one who spoke next.
"That's because I didn't remember anything before coming to the school." After he said this everyone, except Tomoya, looked at him in confusion. "After I woke up from my coma, I didn't even remember my own name."
Everyone was quiet for a few seconds, not a sound was heard. Then almost through-out the building, loud voices were heard from the Drama Club room.
"EEEEHH!"
