So, time to begin! :D YAY!
Prologue
He ran, his footsteps heavy and clumsy, his head spinning in tight circles. He had to get away from them, to protect them. It was for their own good. He did it because he loved them. They were his family…
After all…
"You are the nine-tailed fox!" A certain grey-haired man spat.
His entire world seemed to revolve in striped spirals that rotated around him, and the path seemed almost never ending. 'Why…' he cried, 'Why am I such a monster…?' The young teenager crumbled to the spinning floor, squirming and moaning as the heavy 'weight' dragged him down to his knees. The nails attached to the tips of his fingers extended profoundly, becoming untrimmed and cracked. His blonde hair stood up, wilder than usual, and his canines seemed to extend in an unsightly way, peeling out of his cracked up lips, jagged and ready to kill. The blue in his eyes melted into his socket, the round cornea transforming into a slit. Blood seeped into his once beautiful orbs.
He was changing.
But on the inside, he was the same man.
Though, appearances did fool many.
"Naruto… y-you…. You're a MONSTER!" His pink haired 'sister' shrieked.
"That's not Naruto, it's a demon!" A blonde girl replied.
"I knew it. I knew it all along. Naruto's dangerous! He can't control himself! One day he odd to kill us all!"
"Correction. IT odd to kill us all."
" I can't believe I was so stupid. Naruto's… just…"
"Just stay away from him."
"Oh God, looking at him makes me sick."
All his friends, the people he once knew as his comrades, his sensei, his teacher, his grandfather, were all throwing their worst insults at him. That look in their eyes- the look of hate, the look that everyone used to give him. This was more than he could take, his heart on the limit of cracking. To make things even 'better', she just had to come.
The beautiful konoichi stepped forward, shooting the blonde a look of disgust at the sprawled up transformation under her chin. It was a look that he had never expected from her. 'How pitiful.' She thought.
"Hi-hi-hinata-ch-chan…" The words he tried to form suddenly seemed like a middle school word in nursery.
The girl bent down, seemingly trying to help him up. Her shadow formed over him, and for some strange reason, it scared him. The darkness scared him.
No, never again would he go into darkness. He was a victim of it once, but never again.
For a split second, he felt his heart enlighten, until that sick smirk formed on her face. His smile was gone.
"Pathetic. Demon. You don't deserve anyone. You don't even deserve to live. Stop being such a nuisance to everyone… I never even loved you. Stop living in your fake lala land, and just go back to hell, where you belong. You're such a freak! No wonder my father wanted to kill you! Next time, I pray he does!" She spat on him, before twirling her heels away.
Naruto felt his whole world explode. What had she just said to him? The painful words were slowly sinking in, but his brain just had a hard time computing it. Since when did words hurt him? They were merely verbal things that people uttered. Well, it hurt when the words of insults came from the people he cared for. Especially her.
"No…" He cried, watching her go, laughing maniacally.
.
"No… please no…" He whimpered.
.
One by one, they walked out on him, looking down at him with horror.
.
"No…"
.
.
.
"No…" The tears poured out of his eyes.
.
.
"HINATA-CHAN!"
!
The boy jerked out of his single bed in cold sweat, his lips a pale purple, his face unusually sweaty, the bed sheet under him being clutched soft material flowed through his hands as he rubbed his fingers over it's smoothness. Tears were in his eyes, flowing down his tanned cheeks. The room was almost pitch dark, and the sound of singing crickets echoed throughout the room. He flipped his head over, just to check if she was still there. By his side, a young lady lay peacefully in a slumber with a star material mile spread across her peaceful face.
'Thank God…' He sighed, 'It was just a dream…'
Naruto lifted up the cold hospital blanket, and then his shirt, only to see red, glowing markings around his seal. His eyes widened. "It's not real… If I go back to sleep… I'll be fine. I'll be fine."
He slapped his cheeks a couple of times, before flopping back onto the bed post.
"OWWWW!" He screamed/whispered.
Turning to Hinata, he smiled. She was still asleep.
With that, the blonde laid back insecurely back onto the bed, turning to his side to face the woman he loved so much. With a hesitant smile, he shut himself off.
End of prolugueNaruto: Oh no! What's happening to my little seal?
Hinata: I don't know...
Naruto: But. But... But...
Hinata: Try not to worry about it, alright, Naruto-kun? -massages his shoulders-
Naruto: -feels calm- Alright -purrs-
Hinata: Awww so cute!
Sakura: Haha, that's funny.
Kiba: Oh jeez... -stares at something else-
Shikamaru: Look!
Sakura, Kiba, Naruto, Hinata: WHAT?
Shikamaru: -steals all their french fries- Oh it was nothing.
