Ch. 4: The Vain Of An Admirer
Recap:
"Who are you?" Sasuke questioned, standing up and facing the man.
"Why my little Wolf, you don't recognize me?" the figured replied.
Sasuke stared in shock at the cloaked man, 'Is this the guy who saved me last night?' Sasuke questioned himself.
As Sasuke was colleting his thoughts, in an instant the stranger was in front of him. His mouth was inches from his Sasuke's ear, breathing huskily. A shiver ran up and down Sasuke's spine.
"You will mine, my little wolf," The hidden figure said, before disappearing, leaving nothing but leaves in his wake. Sasuke was breathing steadily in and out, trying to get the 'Uchiha posture' back.
"Sir, that would be 600 yen," the man behind the counter said.
Sasuke 'hn'd' and paid the owner before leaving the restaurant to regain his thoughts.
He ended up being at their old training grounds. He let out a sigh and started training, attempting to clear his thoughts.
With Naruto
Naruto was lying on top of the 4th hokage's head, using his charka to keep his balance.
He scanned over the village, old memories resurfacing in his mind.
'What do I do now Kyuubi?' Naruto asked the demon that was now merged with him.
'Why don't you go out and get a new wardrobe? I mean, your old one is pretty scrappy from all the rips you got from training kit,' The demon suggested.
Naruto nodded to himself and after several minuets, got to his feet and left in finding a new outfit for himself.
After a little while later, Naruto found himself looking into store called The Demons Within Us.
'Ironic Kyuubi, no?' Naruto smirked to himself. All he got for an answer was a chuckling inside his mind.
Naruto smiled, and walked into the store. He looked around to see what they had. They had many animals and other exotic types of things on the shirts and pants. A black shirt that had an orange demon fox caught his eye. He looked at the shirt and read what the caption said under it. It read: This Is What I've Become. Deal With It.
There were some other shirts like these, so Naruto decided to buy them. Now he was in the pants section and got a few pairs. Some were trip pants, others were baggy, to Naruto, they were all hot.
He decided to buy 4 pairs of black and red trip pants and 5 baggy pants that hugged his hips comfortably. Then there was the accessories.
He walked up and down the isles, not knowing what would fit his personality better. He did buy a lot of fishnet undershirts, but he didn't know what type of necklaces that would match. While looking at a wristband, something sliver caught his eye.
He walked over to see what it was and he found himself staring at the must beautiful thing he had ever laid eyes on.
It was a silver necklace, with a pendent around the same shape as the tattoo that was on his stomach. He nodded to himself, and decided to buy it along with his clothes. On his way toward the checkout counter, he noticed several different masks on a rack. Naruto turned his head to look at the multi colored masks. There were some dogs, cats, koi fish, raccoon, and mouse. He frowned, not seeing any fox masks.
When a woman came by he spoke, "Excuse me miss, are there any fox masks?" She paused for a moment then replied, "Oh they are in the back, would you like to purchase one?"
"Yes please," Naruto said. With that the teenage girl went to the back while Naruto put his clothes on the counter. The mask she was holding was an orange and red mask. The shape of it was of a fox head and it had orange ears coming out of the top. There were also whiskers on each cheek. Naruto smiled from under his cloak and gave the cashier his money. (Got a lot of money from robbing lords and bandits.)
After Naruto paid for his clothes, he headed toward his old apartment. When he got toward the door to his old 'home' he searched himself for the key.
'Now where did I put that thing?' He questioned himself.
'Kit, why don't you just break down the door? It's just made out of flimsy cracked wood,'Kyuubi suggested. Agreeing with the demon, he kicked down the door. The door came down easily with a thud and Naruto stepped into his apartment. There was a fine layer of dust and graffiti everywhere. Some said LEAVE BEAST! While others said, DEMONS AREN'T WELCOME HERE!!
Naruto sighed and thought, 'Why am I even going back to this place? There are only depressing memories here.'
'I concur kit, maybe you should get rid of this place once and for all.'The demon said.
'Yea, your right,' Naruto agreed. He went through all of the draws, seeing if there was anything of use to him now. While looking through if he needing anything, he came across a huge black trunk in the back of his closet that was covered in chains and locks. Pulling the big trunk out, he blew away a fine layer of dust.
'What is that kit?' The demon questioned.
'It is my box of possessions I know that wouldn't get wrecked by people who despise me.' Naruto stated in his mind and the fox nodded.
Unlocking all the locks, Naruto opened the black chest. Inside was a few scrolls and some pictures from his childhood. Digging through his belongings he discovered an old portrait of a young women with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was wearing a summer dress, leaning against a tree and smiling. Behind her was a young sandy haired male with a goofy grin plastered on his face, who was about to sneak up on the women.
A small tear escaped Naruto's bright blue eyes while admiring the two people in the picture.
'Your parents, huh?' The demon asked gently.
'Yea, I haven't sent his picture in ages. I almost forgot what they looked like,' Naruto whispered in his mind.
Naruto sniffed and said, "Well we shouldn't dwell on the past."
Heaving the big trunk outside of the apartment and tossing some things onto the living room floor from the black chest that he didn't need. Making sure that he got everything out of the complex that he didn't want anymore, he used a fire justu to set afire to his old home. While the apartment was overwhelmed with flames, Naruto calmly walked away, never looking back.
While caring the trunk over his shoulder with little strength, Kyuubi asked, 'Was that really necessary?'
'I don't want to think about these depressing times anymore. I want to look toward the future, since I am here and alive now,' Naruto calmly stated.
'Whatever you say kit, whatever you say…' Kyuubi trailed off.
