'Am I dead?' was the first thing Naruto asked him self as he gained back the closest thing you could call a conscious. He could feel, hear, see and smell. So he felt alive… It was the surrounding that made him confused. There was absolutely nothing around him, nothing but an empty space. It was like he was inside a plain white room. Where he was lying, whether it was floor or outside ground he didn't know, was white. Above him was white, his left was white as well as his right. He was surrounded by white. And no matter how far he looked, he saw nothing that resembled an exit. Slowly standing up Naruto carefully started to walk around, holding his hands out in front of him so he wouldn't walk right in to an invisible wall.

'Where am I?' he thought, and almost jumped out of his skin in fear as he heard his own voice echoing through the empty space, repeating what he just had thought.

"Great, a mind reading room" he mumbled, only to have his words bouncing around in the wall missing space. Rolling his eyes Naruto kept moving forward, not really knowing if he was actually moving or not. It was hard when everything was looking the same everywhere.

"Hello?" Naruto called out. "Anyone here?"

When he received no answer Naruto sighed loudly, but still kept walking.

He wasn't sure of what to do, or think. Where was he? But more importantly; where was Kyuubi? A few minutes ago he had been hovering over the blonde with a wicked smile placed over his lips, and now he was just gone. Naruto sighed and decided to sit down on whatever he was walking on. He crossed his legs and placed his elbows on the inside of his thighs and let his head rest in his hands. He could feel a head ache coming on and sighed loudly, glaring into the distance as the sound echoed loudly through the space. "There has to be some kind of wall here. An exit or something…" he mumbled and let his eyes wander around. "If a got in here then it has to be a way to get out"

'Where ever 'here' is' he added in his mind, and once again jumped high when his thoughts were said out loud.

"Right…I forgot…You can't think quietly here"

"The again, you never were the one for silence now, were you?" Naruto blinked a few times, sure that the voice did not belong to him this time. And still it sounded so familiar. Naruto felt his throat go slightly dry and swallowed hard. He slowly turned his head around, holding his breath he expected the worse, but was surprised at the sight he was greeted by.

Three people stood in front of them, two wore an insecure smile and one looked completely blank, hands buried in the pockets of the jeans the person wore.

Naruto knew these people, he knew them well, and god he thought he'd never see them again!

Standing up Naruto almost ran over to the people, attacking the smallest one.

"KONOHAMARU!" he nearly screamed into the young boys' ear as he embraced him in a deadly hug. "Thank god! I-I thought you were dead!"

Konohamaru managed to let out a half smothered "I am" as the older man nearly suffocated him with his tight hug.

Naruto let Konohamaru go and gave him a funny look. "No, you're not. You're standing right in front of me" Naruto said, a light frown settling over his face.

"Yes, and god knows how and why" he mumbled. Naruto stilled looked confused, but when his eyes landed on the other two people behind Konohamaru he smiled warmly and slowly walked over to them.

"Tenten" he whispered and pulled her in to a hug. Not as dangerously tight as the pervious one. She smiled and warped her arms around his neck.

"Hi there blondie" she said softly. As they let go Naruto set his eyes on the last person there. A man with pale skin, dark hair, and a bored expression. Naruto couldn't help but smile. It felt like it had been years since he saw the guy, but as he stood there, looking at his best friends, it was like nothing had changed at all.

"Sasuke Uchiha" he sighed and slowly walked over to him. The man just raised and eyebrow at him.

"Hn" Naruto smiled widely and shook his head.

"You haven't changed at all" he commented and Sasuke smirked.

"Neither have you, still as stupid looking as ever" Naruto blinked.

And blinked.

And blinked.

Then his mind finally registered what the raven just had said and he felt his eye twitch for a while before he pointed an accusing finger at him, screaming at the top of his lungs.

"YOU BASTARD! I'VE BEEN GRIEVING YOUR DEATH FOR MONTH AND WHEN I FINALLY GET TO SEE YOU AGAIN THIS IS HOW YOU GREET ME? NOT EVEN A HI!? GOD, YOU REALLY HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL!"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "I'll take back what I said earlier" he finally said and Naruto looked surprised.

"What?"

"You have changed; you're definitely louder than before"

Naruto clenched his fists and was just about to shout a reply before something seemed to hit him.

"Hey…If you're dead…and I'm with you…does that mean I'm as well dead?"

"I don't think so…" Tenten said. "I mean, this isn't somewhere you'd go when you're dead…"

"So…Where are we then?" Naruto asked.

"Since you're here, I'd guess hell" Sasuke said and smirked as Naruto shouted at him.

"SHUT THE HELL UP IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SMART TO SAY!"

"Everything I say is smart compared to what's coming out of your mouth" Sasuke shot back. The two of them shared a heated glare and Tenten sighed.

"Aren't they suppose to be best friends, after all the time Naruto wouldn't stop talking about him I thought they'd be closer than this" she mumbled and was surprised to hear Konohamaru laugh from her side.

"They are best friends" he said. "This is just their way of expressing it. They're like brothers. They insult each other, fight about the smallest things and sometimes they're pretty violent against each other. But when it comes down to it they're always there for each other, no matter what. They'd never betray the other…"

This declaration made Tenten smile as she watched the two of them throw one insult after another at each other. "I see…" she smiled, but then got serious.

"Oi, you two!" she called out and earned the two men's attention. "We don't have time for this, we have to figure out what's going on" The two nodded, and after one more round of insults both of them sat down.

"Okay…" Naruto started as he agreed it was time to put the childish act aside for a while. This was serious; a serial killer was running around, dressed in his body!

"What is the last thing you guys remember before being…killed?"

"You" all three said in unison and Naruto scratched the back of his head.

"Right…Well you guys should know that wasn't really me" All of them exchanged looks, and then nodded before Tenten spoke.

"When you came back to the office that night something about you had changed and I just felt like you weren't yourself. You had this dark, negative energy around you, nothing like the Naruto I knew…"

"Also you talked funny" Konohamaru added.

"And even if I thought it was impossible you looked stupider than usual" Naruto glared at the man next to him.

"If you weren't already dead I'd kill you" he promised and Sasuke smirked.

"You'd try, but never succeed" Sasuke said in a confident, almost bragging voice.

"Guys!" Naruto and Sasuke turned to Tenten. "Focus" she said, and then turned her full attention to Naruto. "You weren't the one to kill us Naruto… It was Kyuubi right?"

Naruto nodded and Tenten continued. "Now, what I would like to know is how he dressed up to look exactly like you, and why you of all people. Also…As much as I hate to say this I think you have a connection with the victims. Because when I-"

Naruto interrupted the brunette by holding up his hands, signing her to stop talking.

"I know that already" he said. "And you're right… I have a connection to the victims, but that's not it…" he paused for a few seconds then sighed. "I have a connection to Kyuubi too…" This caught the three friends off guard.

"What do you mean?" Tenten asked seriously.

"I don't know how to explain it but… I am Kyuubi"

A silence was followed by the announcement and all of them stared at the blonde.

"I thought we agreed that you didn't kill us" Tenten said. Naruto nodded.

"I didn't, Kyuubi did, as we said… But he…I'm… I am Kyuubi"

"You and Kyuubi are two different people, sharing the same body, am I right?" Konohamaru said and Naruto looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah… How did you…?" Konohamaru just shrugged.

"TV I guess…"

Naruto snorted as he remembered how Kyuubi had rattled off a bunch of movies when Naruto asked him what the hell was going on.

"You have the same taste in movies as a psychopath" Naruto warned him and Konohamaru lightly punched him on the arm.

"Naruto…" The blonde suddenly remembered that there were two more sitting there with them. He turned his full attention to them.

"How do you know this? And for how long have you known?" Tenten sounded a bit concerned.

"I just found out" he said. "I swear! He approached me today…tonight…what ever the time is now, he visit me recently and told me that he'd take over my body completely… Actually, that's the last thing I remembered, then I woke up here"

Sasuke suddenly stood up. "If you're awake now, that is" Naruto furrowed his eyebrows.

"What are you talking about? Of course-"

"No" The raven interrupted him. "Think about it now Naruto. He says he's going to take over your body, the next second you're here with people that's suppose be dead. Do you really think you're awake?"

Naruto looked confused. "You mean… I'm…Asleep?" he pinched him self, but then winced as the small amount of pain ran through a certain area of his arm.

"This is a dream?" he asked and looked between Sasuke and Tenten. Both looked thoughtful.

"I wouldn't necessarily say that you're asleep. More like unconscious in some way. Kyuubi is probably in control of your body and mind, he's pushed you away completely, but you're not dead, because he needs you alive to live himself, right?"

Naruto nodded and Sasuke started to walk around in a small circle. "Then what we should try to do is wake you up, in that case you might be able to gain back control over your body and stop him, before anyone gets hurt"

"Okay, so…How do we do that?" Sasuke licked his lips and frowned as he thought hard about it.

"I guess it's all about concentration" He finally said and Tenten nodded in agreement.

"You need to concentrate hard, if you do so you might be able to connect to Kyuubi, and after that you can start focusing on pushing him out and take control over your body"

Naruto sighed. "That's probably easier said than done" he mumbled, but suddenly he frowned.

"What the hell is that?" he asked and pointed behind Sasuke and Tenten. All of them turned around and looked at some kind of light that slowly grew stronger and stronger.

Tenten smiled sadly. "That's our cue to leave" she said and Naruto felt a sharp pain shoot through his heart as he heard it.

"Oh..." Naruto looked down on the ground. It was too soon… He really wanted to spend more time with them.

"Naruto" The blonde looked up and met Sasuke hard gaze.

"Kyuubi is after my brother…" Naruto blinked at the sudden statement, but then remembered that Kyuubi had said something about needing to kill Itachi. He clenched his fists first, in pure anger, but then relaxed as he looked at Sasuke again. He gave the other man a surprisingly big smile.

"Don't worry" he said and Sasuke was amazed over the amount of confident that lay behind his words. "I won't let him touch your brother, that's a promise!"

Sasuke looked at him for a while with a blank expression, but then smirked. "Idiot, you shouldn't talk so big" he said and buried his hands in his pockets. "Say Hi from us"

Naruto nodded. "I will" he promised and then hugged Tenten and Konohamaru goodbye. His hands rested on the younger brunette's shoulders and Konohamaru raised and eyebrow.

"Naruto?"

"I'm sorry…" Naruto said softly. "I took you in, in order to make your life better. I guess I didn't do a very good job…"

Konohamaru looked a bit uncomfortable, but then smiled a genuine smile. "You cared, Naruto… That's enough for me" he said and gave the man one last hug before walking over to Sasuke and Tenten who waited for him.

"Take care of yourself" Tenten called over her shoulder. "And don't get killed"

"I can't promise anything!" he called back. And that was true; a fight against Kyuubi…A fight against himself could lead to anything.

Suddenly Konohamaru stopped and turned around.

"Just remember one thing" he shouted as the light came closer towards them. "No matter what happens you're not Kyuubi! You are Naruto Uzumaki, a great role model, an awesome friend and one hell of a police officer! You're not a murderer! You're not Kyuubi!" And with those words echoing through the space the three people disappeared out of his sight. Naruto smiled and quickly wiped a few a few tears from his cheeks.

"Thank you…Konohamaru"


Kyuubi whistled happily as he drove down the street with Naruto's bright orange car. By now he was almost sure that the kid was somehow colour-blind, or crazy. What sane person bought an orange car? Oh well, he didn't really care about that, he just wanted to get to the police office, kill Itachi, and then get home to enjoy the new body he had received. He couldn't remember the last time he had actually gotten to stretch his legs properly. He was going to use the situation to the fullest.

As the traffic light in front of him turned red he sighed and slowed down. He tapped his fingers against the steering-wheel and hummed some random tune.

"Aha, finally got you!" Kyuubi gasped and grabbed his head as a sudden pain shot through it.

"FUCKING HELL!" he swore and massaged his temples. "What was that?"

"That was me you freak! Who else would be talking to you in your head!?"

Kyuubi's eyes widened as he realized that it was Naruto who was talking to him.

'What the hell!? Don't tell me the brat-'

"How the hell are you calling brat? I'm 22 years old, damn it!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Kyuubi scream as the pain wouldn't disappear.

"You shut the fuck up!" Naruto scream back, causing Kyuubi to see stars in front of his eyes. In the background he could hear people honk their horns at him, screaming for him to move forward, that the light was green now. But Kyuubi didn't care, and even if he did, he couldn't do anything about it. Every time the brat spoke in his head a sharp pain shot through his entire skull and spread itself down his neck and over his face, causing his eyes and mouth to go completely numb.

"I want my body back!" Naruto continued and for the first time ever Kyuubi thought he'd faint from the extreme pain. He could hardly bear it. He clutched his head and screamed out in frustration and pain. He was losing. The fact that his body was going numb was proof enough. He was losing control over it.

'NO' he thought. 'I won't let him get it back!'

"Oh yes you will!" Naruto said and Kyuubi damned the kid for being so fucking loud all the time.

"You see Kyuubi" Naruto continued, and said ginger slowly grabbed the steering-wheel, intending to drive even though the pain was killing him. "Now I'm the one who can read your thoughts! I don't care what you say, this is my body and you're not taking this one last thing that makes me to who I am away from me! You've already taken enough"

"JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!" Kyuubi shouted, and was chocked when he noticed how his left hand was completely numb and now moving on its own. The hand didn't do much, it just moved around randomly to show Kyuubi that he was losing, and Naruto was winning.

Kyuubi cursed, but kept driving. Why he didn't know. Even if he did reach Itachi soon he would only end up having a schizophrenic fight with his other, too good half.

"Stop the car" he suddenly heard himself say, but he immediately knew that it wasn't he who had spoken. Naruto seemed to already have some control over his mind, enough to be able to talk.

'Interesting' Kyuubi thought. 'Two different people in one body…At the very same time'

"Yeah well, you didn't want to leave so" Naruto grumbled. Kyuubi smirked.

"Stop the car" The blonde ordered again.

"No" he said. The same moment he saw how the left hand grabbed the steering-wheel and he felt how Naruto tried to turn the car around. Kyuubi immediately fought back. That's when ne noticed his right hand was going numb as well.

"Damn you Uzumaki!" he screamed and Naruto laughed.

Even if he was losing control over his body, Kyuubi was relived to know that his head wasn't reacting with pain now when Naruto talked.

As they drove over a bridge Naruto took control over both of Kyuubi's hands and grabbed the steering.

"Fuck" Kyuubi swore. "I'm not losing against you! You're a cop damn it! I don't lose against cops! I fight them, I win, and then I kill them! That's the system. You're not going to change that!"

"Oh yes I am" Naruto said, his voice was suddenly darker than usually. "Kyuubi, I made a promise, I said that I was going to kill you no matter what, even if it would kill me. I'm not taking that back. I'm going to die tonight, and I'm bringing you with me!"

With that Naruto made an abrupt turn, causing the car the violently sway to the right.

"YOU'RE INSANE! YOU'RE GOING TO DRIVE OFF THE BRIDGE? WE'LL DROWN!" Kyuubi screamed. But Naruto only smirked.

"Exactly" the next second went a bit too fast for them to fully register. The fence around the small bridge easily broke and the car flew through the air.

Naruto hardened his grip around the steering and held his breath as the car landed in the water below them with a loud 'splash'.

By the time it landed Naruto was pretty much upside down where he sat. He hadn't worn a seat belt and he could feel his whole body bruise as he was thrown around when the car flipped over.

The car slowly started to sink and Kyuubi panicked. He tried to get out of the car, but Naruto was determined on not getting out.

Naruto could feel his body going numb, but this time it wasn't because of Kyuubi.

Kyuubi cursed and screamed as the water made it way through doors and window. But Naruto himself just smirked satisfied.

'This is it Kyuubi' was the last thing he thought before he willingly embraced the darkness.

"Damn brat! I swear to god this isn't the end!" Kyuubi hissed. "You're not going to get rid of me that easily"

Naruto smiled. Because even if Kyuubi wasn't accepting it he knew he had won, had had defeated Kyuubi.


Gaara was sitting at the hospital. His older brother, Kankuro, was sitting next to him and his sister Temari was restlessly walking back and forth as she was biting her nails.

"That idiot" she mumbled over and over again and Gaara resisted the urge to yell at her to sit down. Her constant walking and biting was making him nervous.

"I'm sure his fine" the brunette beside Gaara said. "His strong, he won't give up that easily"

"If he's so strong then why the hell did he try to drive off a bridge!?" Temari snapped.

"I'm sure he had a good excuse for that, he's not completely brainless, even if likes to act like it" Kankuro said and ran a hand trhough the brown hair.

"He's right Temari" Gaara said. "Whatever Naruto's intention was I'm sure it's good. He wouldn't have done something like that without a reason"

Temari crossed her arms and looked at the watch on the wall. "I'm not sure about that.. He lost two of his partners, and now Konohamaru! I think that's enough to drive someone to the edge"

"Not Naruto" Gaara said stubbornly. "He's strong, he wouldn't give up. We still haven't caught Kyuubi, and you know how badly he wanted to catch him. Naruto wouldn't try to kill himself when he still has things he got to do"

Temari sighed and slumped down on the dirty floor. "I hope you're right" she said.

And so did Gaara. When he spoke he sounded confident and calm. But inside he was going crazy and he was confused to why Naruto had done what he had. He was lucky that the stupid blonde had been rescued in time. If he hadn't then Naruto would have been…

Gaara shook his head, he didn't want to think about it. Suddenly a man dressed in a white robe approached them. All three of them stood up.

"Is he okay?" Temari immediately asked.

The doctor nodded. "Yes his fine. His head and neck took most damage in the fall, and luckily he was saved in the last minute from the water. He just needs to rest now, and you can see him tomorrow"

The three siblings nodded before gathering their stuff and went home.

Pain.

That was all the poor blonde could feel as he woke up. His head hurt, his neck hurt, his arms and legs hurt. Even his teeth hurt!

'Is this hell or something?' Naruto thought and slowly opened his eyes. The bright light that welcomed him made him groan as he felt his eyes sting. When he finally adjusted he started to look around.

That's when he noticed that something was extremely wrong.

'I'm…At the hospital?' he thought and frowned.

First he felt confused, and then fear washed over him. He was alive… And if he was alive that meant…

"So you're finally awake" a cold voice was heard from the door opening.

Naruto felt the blood in his veins freeze and chills ran down his spine. That familiar voice sounded colder than usually in his ears. He slowly turned his head around, ignoring the sharp pain that shot through his whole body at the small movement.

At the sight he felt his throat go dry and his body go numb. A few minutes past before Naruto opened his mouth and choked out one simple word.

"Kyuubi"

The ginger smirked and walked over to the bed Naruto was lying in.

"I told you this wasn't the end"


Gaara walked into the room Naruto was in, He slowly stepped in and saw his blonde friend lying in the bed. Eyes closed and chest slowly raising and falling as he breathed steadily. Gaara first thought he was asleep, but when the man slowly turned his head towards him and his green eyes was greeted by a pair of blue ones he knew that wasn't the case.

The blonde smiled weakly at him. "Hi there" he said with a hoarse voice. Gaara just nodded at him in acknowledgement before taking a chair and sitting down next to the bed. He sigh deeply before smacking his friend, hard, over the top of his head.

Naruto whined in pain and glared at the red head. "What was that for?" he snapped and Gaara glared at him.

"Guess three times my dear friend!" Gaara hissed and Naruto went from looking annoyed and pissed to just looking guilty.

"I'm sorry" Naruto mumbled and Gaara sighed, rubbing his temples.

"I don't even know what to say" he mumbled. "You could have died, Naruto! What were you thinking?"

Naruto sighed and rubbed the sore spot on his head.

"I…It's complicated" he mumbled. "But please believe me when I say that it had to be done" Naruto looked at Gaara, and the red haired boy realized that it was the most information he'd get, at least for now.

"Fine" Gaara mumbled. "But one day you will tell me the whole story! You nearly killed yourself and I will not let it go that easily!"

Naruto smiled widely. "I don't expect you to" he said, and slowly sat up. "Hey, do you know when I can get out of here?" he asked and Gaara couldn't help but think that something was really off with the situation. For someone who just lost two loved people in one day Naruto seemed surprisingly… Cheerful.

"Uhm, yeah. They said that amazingly you didn't break anything, and if you're lucky you might get out today…"

"Cool" Naruto said, then made an affort to stand up. "Hey, can you wait a second here, I need to get to the bathroom" Gaara frowned.

"Okay…" He watched with concerned as his friend limped out of the room.

Something was definitely wrong here.


With every step he took pain shot through his poor, abused body. But he kept walking forward. As he entered the bathroom he looked around, noticing that he was all alone. He sighed and walked over to the sink. He put on the water and cupped his hands under the water tap, gather the cold water in his hands before splashing it on to his face. He took a few deep breathes before looking up at the mirror in front of him.

He smiled at what he saw.

Bright blue eyes, tanned skin, blonde, thick hair and on top of that a wicked smirked was now placed over his lips.

"Looking good Kyuubi" he said and winked at his reflection. "Looking good"


You know…It sounded better in my head…lol. I don't know. I guess I'm happy with the ending. Tell me if I'm confusing you over here. Here's thing: Kyuubi didn't die, neither did Naruto. Naruto's body was taken over by Kyuubi. So..yeah.. heh.

I'm evil, but did you really think that I'd kill Naruto? XD No way~

Yeah…I suck at endings XD But Un… I hope you liked it!
