Chapter 2
Ok so for this chapter even though Naruto's memories are male I'm going to keep it female just so I don get confused. Oh and the song that Sasuke sings is a lullaby for a stormy night by Vienna Teng
BANG! Another clash of thunder broke the silence and the rain pattering outside Naruto's window. Naruto male or female was terrified of thunderstorms. Why does it have to thunder and lightning out! Another crash of thunder and another flash of lightning, Naruto squeezed her pillow tighter, and started to cry. She hates thunder storms it reminds her of days in the orphanage were she first experienced the pain of murder. It was dark it was during a thunderstorm all she could remember was crying she was scared of the thunder. She was only a year old she was still in the crib so there was no were she could run. When the night shift nurse came in to see what the matter was she only saw Naruto in the crib crying.
"quit your crying demon brat!" she said as she slapped Naruto. But when Naruto wouldn't stop crying the nurse got angry she got a pillow and violently held it over Naruto's face, until the crying stopped.
Naruto held her face into the pillow and continued to cry. Unbeknownst to Naruto her crying had woken a certain raven haired uchiha up.
Worrying Sasuke got out of bed and searched around for the crying. He pressed his ear up to Naruto's door. His amazing hearing picked up a muffled cry, concerned he opened the door to find Naruto curled up into a fetal position crying. Sasuke walked over to the crying fox and sat on the bed with her. When he laid his hand on her shoulder she jumped. She turned around and whipped her eyes.
"oh Sasuke-kun its you. I'm sorry did the thunder wake you?" she asked the sound of her tears obvious in her voice.
"no Naruto your crying did. What's wrong?" he asked concerned.
"oh its nothing I just don't like the loud noises. They bring up some old fears and memories." another clap of thunder and Naruto cringed. "don't worry about me Sasuke-kun I'm fine go back to bed."
"that is the biggest load of bull shit I have ever heard." another clap of thunder and tears started to form in Naruto's eyes. "do you want me to stay with you tonight?" Naruto nodded timidly Sasuke laid down on the bed and Naruto cuddled up to him. Sasuke noticed that the pigtails were still in Naruto's long blond hair. He gently took them out and started to run his fingers through her hair. He noticed that Naruto had started shaking so he began to hum a soft tune. Soon he began to sing a lullaby to the little fox
" little child be not afraid
the rain pounds harsh against the glass
like an unwanted stranger.
There is no danger
I'm here tonight." Sasuke noticed that the song was beginning to calm Naruto. So he continued.
"Little child
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates your tearstained face
I am here tonight" when Sasuke sang his voice was so soothing that it was easy for Naruto stop crying being lulled to sleep by Sasuke's amazing voice.
"And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
Little child
Be not afraid
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight
Little child
Be not afraid
The wind makes creatures of our trees
And the branches to hands
They're not real, understand
And I am here tonight
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
For you know, once even I
Was a little child
And I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears
Trade sweet sleep the fears
And to give a kiss goodnight
Well, now I am grown
And these years have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close
And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
Everything's fine in the morning
The rain will be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning" when Sasuke stopped singing Naruto had fallen sound asleep. Maybe having Naruto as a girl wasn't that bad. He was definitely less annoying as a girl. Maybe he could get used to this. Gazing at Naruto sleeping peacefully, his own eyes began to slip shut.
It wasn't until around 3 when Sasuke started to wake up. He slowly opened his eyes, and looked around. Wait this wasn't his room, that's weird, oh wait he remembered what had happened last night, the poor dobe. He looked down to see Naruto still sleeping soundly, she looked beautiful when she sleeps. Sasuke looked at the clock, it was almost time for dinner, or breakfast, or what ever you want to call it. He tried to move without waking Naruto. But the second Sasuke tried to move a muscle Naruto's eyes opened lazily.
"hay Sasuke-kun what are you doing up so early?" she asked sitting up, her eyes still half way closed.
"hay Naruto your up I'm sorry if I woke you I was trying not to." Sasuke said walking towards the door. Before Sasuke grabbed the door handle he turned and looked at Naruto. "Naruto can I ask you something?"
"sure Sasuke-kun ask me anything." Naruto said sitting up straight and stretching.
Sasuke walked back over to Naruto and sat across from her. "what happened to make you so scared of thunder storms?"
A glum look overcame Naruto's usually cheerful face. "I didn't think you would ask that question."
"Naruto the way you were last night scared me, believe it or not I'm not the cold heartless bastard that I make people think I am. Seeing you cry broke my heart and I don't want to see that again. And I need to know why you get like this if I'm going to help you at all."
"no Sasuke I cant tell you! Iv never told anyone except the Hokage. And I wont tell anyone except for the third!"
"Naruto I need you to tell me!" Sasuke said with concern etched into every word.
"I said no!" Naruto said beginning to cry.
"then I'm going to take it by force." Sasuke activated his sharingan and looked Naruto straight in the eye never breaking eye contact.
Sasuke looked around he was in an orphanage he saw a baby Naruto crying in his crib. Sasuke being the secret mother that he is automatically reached into the crib to pick up the baby Naru but his hands went right through. A nurse came in the room. "hay what do you think your doing brat!" the nurse shouted in Sasuke's direction.
"I'm sorry ma'am-" Sasuke said automatically. The nurse completely ignored the uchiha and went over to Naruto and leaned into the crib. "shut up demon brat! Your going to wake up the rest of the children." she said with pure venom in her voice. When Naruto wouldn't stop crying the nurse raised a hand and slapped the one year old Naruto across the face, and not gentle at all no this was infused with all the anger she had towards the child and the demon fox.
"hay get the fuck away from him!" Sasuke said launching himself at the woman only to pass right through her, reminding him that he was only watching and not actually there. Sasuke watched through tear filled eyes as the nurse hit Naruto a few more times, and when Naruto wouldn't be quiet he watched as the nurse picked up a pillow and held it firmly and violently over Naruto's little face, until the crying stopped. The nurse lifted off the pillow and walked away smiling. Sasuke ran over to the crib to look at Naruto. Even though he knew that Naruto survived his love for the dobe made him cry and worry. When he looked in the crib he saw the blood stained pillow. More than likely it was Naruto's blood, then he turned his gaze to the baby, he saw all the cuts and bruises that the nurse caused he looked carefully and the cuts seemed to be healing abnormally fast, but what concerned him most of all is the fact that Naruto was still breathing.
Sasuke broke the gaze and looked at Naruto tears flowing from both their eyes. "oh my god Naruto please tell me that was only a nightmare." Sasuke pleaded.
"I wish I could Sasuke-kun but I cant. Things like that would happen on a regular basis." Naruto said with a hitched breath. "that was my regular day in the orphanage, wake up brush my teeth, nurses attempt to murder me, eat breakfast, take a nap, nurses attempt to murder me, eat lunch with poison in it, then listen to the nurses get pissed cause I didn't die, and I go to bed crying with no dinner." Naruto said wiping some tears from her eyes and sniffled a little bit. "and that was a good day, most of the time I wouldn't eat dinner at all if I was lucky I would get 2 meals a week, meanwhile I got to watch all the other children eat have fun and be treated with love. It was only until the Hokage got wind of what the nurses were doing and he was nice enough not to leave me there, he gave me housing and he made sure that all my bills were paid and my tuition to the academy. I'm really grateful to the third. If it wasn't for him I might still be in that horrible place." Naruto said taking one last deep breath to calm herself down. But when she released that breath, she was in crying Sasuke's arms.
"I will never allow anything like that to happen to you ever again Naruto-koi, I swear on my life it will never happen again."
Naruto looked up at Sasuke to see him actually smiling. "thank you Sasuke-kun that's nice to know." Naruto smiled sweetly at Sasuke, that is until a loud roar broke the silence. Naruto's face turned beet red. "sorry about that Sasuke-kun I guess I'm a little hungry."
Sasuke laughed, he flat out laughed. "don't worry about it Naruto lets go out to eat tonight. Maybe see a movie." Sasuke helped Naruto up off the bed. When Naruto stood all the way up Sasuke noticed blood on Naruto's skirt and on her bed. "Naruto are you bleeding?" Sasuke asked curiously.
Naruto looked down and noticed she was bleeding quite bad. "well this is weird. It doesn't hurt." Naruto felt a strange pain in her lower abdomen. "no wait there it is.. Oh wow that hurts." Naruto held her stomach and bent over almost double.
"Naruto-koi are you ok?" Sasuke asked
"yeah I think so. It hurts but its bearable." Naruto said standing straight up. And still bleeding.
"uh Naruto maybe we should go see lady Tsunade, maybe she can do something about this mysterious bleeding." Sasuke said looking at the slowly growing blood stain.
"HA that's funny like I'm leaving this house with a stain this huge on my skirt! What are you thinking Sasuke?"
"I'm thinking that you are going and that the hospital is 475 feet away and Tsunade's office is 501 exactly. So you don't have to leave the house." Sasuke said starting to walk towards the door.
"oh no you don't Sasuke! don't you dare drag granny Tsunade into this!" Naruto ran after Sasuke but to no avail there was no Sasuke to be found. "Sasuke don't you dare!"
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted not yet noticing the change in buildings.
"what are you yelling at Naruto?" Sasuke asked with his hands on his hips. Tsunade came out from behind her desk to see for herself.
"kami. Is that really Naruto?" Tsunade got really close to Naruto's face and examined her. "oh lord he is.. I mean she is! Do I want to know how this happened?" Tsunade asked herself and yet everyone at the same time. "nope never mind." Tsunade began to snicker "so what's wrong with our little girl." Tsunade asked Sasuke.
"well other than the fact that Naruto is a girl due to the kyuubi, Naruto is bleeding. And it's a mystery as to why." Sasuke reported.
Tsunade started to double over in laughter, as did Shizune. "what the fuck why the hell are you two laughing!" Naruto shouted feeling very embarrassed.
"this is very simple and very hilarious!" Tsunade managed to choke out through her laughter.
"well what is the problem?" Sasuke and Naruto asked at the same time.
"Naruto is on her PERIOD!" Tsunade shouted, causing her and Shizune to laugh harder.
Naruto began to blush blood red. "are you shitting me! Why can I just be stabbed in the gut with a kunai why does it have to be a period. You mean that I have to deal with bleeding aches and pains and everything for a week and a half. This is going to be the worst week of my life." this only made Tsunade harder.
"poor Naruto has her first period." Shizune joked.
"THAT'S IT IM OUT OF HERE!" Naruto shouted. She stormed over to Tsunade's desk and snatched her green cloak, put it on and stormed out of the office.
"Naruto come back!" Sasuke shouted. "damn it now I have to chase her around all day. Thanks a lot Tsunade!"
Tsunade held up a hand as she started to quell her laughter. "Sasuke wait. You will need these." Tsunade went over to her desk and grabbed a box. "here take this it's a box of feminine supplies. Everything that she will need."
"thank you lady Tsunade. This should help." Sasuke took the box and left after saying his goodbyes.
