Naruto evolution ch. 3

Rouges p.o.v

She ran as fast as she could. She had to get away, not knowing where to go or where she came from Rouge just know she couldn't stop running. Someone was following her, felling their breath in her neck she ran faster. Fear was the only thing keeping her going.

Rouge was panting heavily and looked over her shoulder and saw nothing but the darkness that surrounded her. She couldn't see who was chasing her she just knew there was someone out there in the scary, familiar darkness. She looked down at her feet, she could feel and hear the ice cold water against them but there was nothing to see. It made it harder to run and it was like hands were trying to grab her ankles to hold her still. Tears were making their way down her cheeks, this was a nightmare and now she really wanted to wake soon. Suddenly something grabbed her and she let out a scream and started fighting against her holder.

"Rouge please calm down it's me Naruto" she looked up into big blue eyes, golden hair framed his face.

"You- you're…" she gasped after air.

"Yes this is my mind" Naruto calmed her. She leaned into his chest happy someone had found her, but then she jumped back

"They are coming, let me go" she tried to break loose.

"They are not after you" Naruto pulled her hard into his chest and Rouge looked up at him "they are after him" he said looking over her shoulder with a pained face and let his arms fall limp down his side. Rouge turned, far away she could make out what appeared to be a young boy running away from them but it didn't seem like he got anywhere.

"Who it that?" all Rouge could see was that the boy was wearing an orange jumpsuit and had blonde hair.

"I'm hurt. Can't you recognize me?" Rouge turned to Naruto but he was gone, she looked down in sock, not much higher than her hip was a young version of Naruto, he couldn't be much more than 6. She turned back but there was nothing to see but darkness.

"Well I got to go" the boy started walking away but Rouge knelt down and wiped her arms around the child, not wanting him to go out there, she knew what waited out there, pain and pain only.

"Stay" she hold the boy closer, he was safe here in her arms and here he was staying.

"Can't just let them catch me without a fight, now can I?" Naruto had smuggled into the warm but now made his way out of the safe place.

As the blonde broke into a run, Rouge stumbled a few feet before falling to her knees. Like an ice cold tidal wave all warm left her body and a felling of loneliness and despair washed over her.

"Let him go" Rouge turned to see the 16 year old Naruto "you can't help him" Naruto sounded cold, not angry or bitter just cold.

"But…"

"Rouge you are now inside, not my head but the vision I was having when you touched me and you can't do anything for him, because of this simple fact: it's already happened. This is a vision of my past." Rouge nodded; still shaking she got to her feet and stopped in front of him.

"I-I w-w-want t-t-t-to get out" she gasped.

"I will help you but first you need to let go" Naruto took hold of Rouges shaking arms.

"O-of wha-at?"

"I need you to let go of what you fell" a weird numbness ran through her body. She saw Naruto let go of her arms but she couldn't fell any difference "what you hear" Naruto placed a hand on each of her ears and everything went quite "and what you see" Rouge didn't hear it but she closed her eyes as Naruto placed one of his hands over them.

Rouge opened her eyes and took a gasping breath.
