Here's the 4th Chapter. This one is really sad. You might want to grab some tissues.
I hope you don't find this too sad. Post comments.
Back outside, Naruto found Yuki in the bushes.
"Why are you behind the bushes?" he asked.
"I'm uh….playing hide n'seek... You found me!" she said.
"Come on. There's a whole flock of butterflies over there."
"Okay. Let me go get my bag."
Yuki quickly ran inside, grabbed her bag, and she hurried back outside. She caught up with Naruto and saw the big flock of butterflies.
"What's in the bag?" Naruto asked.
Yuki opened her bag and pulled out two butterfly nets.
"Lets start catching them," she said.
For awhile, they caught a few butterflies, and then they put the nets away and told their secrets to the butterflies. Whenever the butterflies flew high in the air, their wings would shine in the sun. By the end of the day, Naruto and Yuki watched the sunset together.
"It's so pretty," Yuki said.
"I never thought sunsets were so awesome," said Naruto.
They were heading for the shady tree when Shinni and Kaddi headed towards them.
"How come you hang out with girls and butterflies?" asked Shinni as he pushed Naruto down.
"Huh Naruto? How come?" asked Kaddi.
"Why don't you leave him alone!" said Yuki.
"Why don't you let Naruto stick up for himself? Oh I forgot he's a baby. Kaddi take Yuki," commanded Shinni.
Kaddi grabbed Yuki's arm and he dragged her away from Naruto.
"Let me go! You're hurting me!" she screamed.
"YUKI!" Naruto cried out.
Shinni socked Naruto in the stomach and then he kicked him in the side.
"Get up and fight!" he yelled.
Naruto felt his rage rising. He got up and charged at Shinni. He was able to get him on the ground. He punched him and gave him a bloody nose. Shinni put pressure on his nose to stop the bleeding, but Naruto kicked him in the knee.
Now Shinni was angry and in pain. He pulled the switchblade from his pocket and knocked Naruto on the ground.
"NARUTO LOOK OUT!" screamed Yuki.
"SHINNI STOP!" yelled Kaddi.
Yuki stomped on his foot and ran into the fight. Shinni raised the switchblade and hammered down on Naruto, but Yuki jumped in the way and the switchblade went into her back. She fell on Naruto's lap. Shinni backed away stunned. Tears formed in his eyes.
"What have I done?" he cried.
He kept staring at Yuki. Tears streamed down his face. Fear built up in Kaddi's inner child. He was crying as well.
"How could you!" he screamed.
Without haste, he ran inside to get help. As for Naruto, his heart was broken. Tears poured out of his eyes. Yuki opened her eyes and looked into Naruto's hurt eyes.
"Are you okay?" she asked weakly.
"Why did you do that!" he cried.
"Shinni was going to kill you."
"You should have let him killed me."
"Naruto, get my bag."
"Of course."
He carefully laid her down on her side and he grabbed her bag. He rushed back to her. Yuki's back was stained in blood. Naruto's arms were also covered in blood.
"Reach into the bag, I want you to have something," Yuki said weakly.
Naruto reached in and pulled out a big pair of goggles.
"Is this it?" he asked.
"Yes, my dad gave me those and I want you to have them," she replied.
"Why would you give me something valuable?"
"The goggles weren't going to fit me anyway. I want you to have something to remember me by."
"Yuki don't say stuff like that!"
Naruto put the goggles around his neck and held Yuki in his arms again.
"I'll remove the switchblade," he cried.
"Don't. It'll make the pain worse," she said in a weak voice.
"Yuki don't leave me."
"I'll never leave you. I'll always be with you."
"Please don't die!"
"My body won't live much longer."
"Don't die on me!"
"I love you Naruto. I hope……you love me too."
Yuki coughed up a little bit of blood and passed out.
"YUKI!" screamed Naruto
He carried her under the shady tree and laid her down gently on her side. He looked up at Shinni angrily.
"Shinni, I'm going to kill you for this!" he growled.
"Go ahead demon. I don't deserve to live," he replied pitifully.
Naruto charged at him and knocked him into the ground. He didn't bother to fight back. He wanted to feel the pain Naruto was giving him. Kaddi came back with the councilor and two medics. Naruto didn't notice her until she pulled him off of Shinni.
"That's enough!" she yelled.
The medics rushed over to Yuki. Blood was still oozing from her back. They checked her out.
"This looks bad!" the first medic said.
"She needs to get to a hospital right away. Her breathing is starting to shorten," the second medic said.
They quickly put Yuki on the stretcher and rushed to the ambulance. Naruto tried to follow, but the councilor held him back.
"Everyone get inside," she said.
Shinni, Kaddi, and Naruto went inside. The ninja patrol arrived and asked Naruto, Kaddi, and Shinni questions individually. Since Kaddi was the witness, they asked him the most questions. A couple hours later, the ninja patrol took Shinni away. He was taken to a place that was beyond his nightmares.
Naruto went to his bed and cried. Kaddi wanted to go cheer him up, but the councilor shook her head at him.
"He needs some time alone," she said.
Naruto cried until his cries put him to sleep.
