Ch.7

An Explanation.

"Naruto, are you awake?" Gaara asked.

"Gaara? What are you doing here? And where am I?"

" You're in a hospital, and I was just in town, and noticed what was going on."

Naruto stared blankly at the red haired teen for a moment, then frowned.

"I'm going to ask you again, why are you in Konoha city?"(Yeah I said city)

"I was told about your transformation by the council, and they called me here because I was the only one they could turn to. I just happened to be in town during your moments, and managed to save you, and that pink haired girl."

"Who's the council, Gaara?"

"I think I've said to much already."

"Oh, ya think. Now who is the council, everybody has been keeping secrets from me, and I want to know the truth."

"I'm sorry Naruto, I just can't do that. And besides it not my fault you can't control your emotions. That girl you were protect she was unconscious, and I don't think it was because of that monster you were fighting."

I remembered the fight, and how with the tiny bit of humanity I had left, I yelled at her to get away. She didn't exactly listen. I got angry, and knocked her out.

"Listen, you have got to control that temper of yours before you do something you regret." Gaara said.

I turned over in the bed, and faced the wall, while listening to him speak.

"What happened to the annoying knucklehead who used to be cheery, and happy all the time. What happened to the ninja who broke through to me, and showed what love was."

"You're getting real mushy on me Gaara. I'm starting to get SU-PI-CIOUS."

"Shut up, and seriously you have got to control this, and I'm going to help you."

"And how are you going to do that, Gaara?"

"It will be difficult, but you'll be able to handle it. If it helped me, it will help you."

"I'm trusting you on this. Oh yeah and one more thing Gaara."

"Yeah."

"I still want some answers."

"I know. Meet me later at the secret spot, you know the one."

"Yeah I know the one."

Gaara then turned and left out the room. I turned over, and reached my hands out to close the curtains in my room. I closed my eyes, and went back to sleep.

I woke up in the room I never seen before. Everything around me was destroyed, messed up, and knocked around. I looked down, and saw Sakura on the ground with blood pouring out of a large wound on her arm. I looked down at my hands to see them covered in blood. I looked down at Sakura, and reached for her, but she flinched as I went to touch her. The look in her eyes was full of fear. I looked up, and saw Sasuke standing before me laughing. He suddenly transformed into his cursed seal form 2, and lunged at me. That's when everything went black. I saw the kyubi's eyes, and teeth appear and he begin to laugh at me. He then ran at me, and attempted to eat me. That's when I woke up.

I woke up sweating, and shivering. I got up out of bed, and went into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, and saw a normal face. I bent down to rinse my face off with some water. When I came back up, and looked in the mirror I saw the kyubi's face laughing at me again. I covered my face with a towel, and crouched down in a corner in the bathroom. And for the first time since I was 12, I cried. I sat there, and cried my eyes out. Not caring who came in, and saw me.

Sakura's POV

I woke up in a hospital room. There was a bed in the room across from her. The light was on in the bathroom. I heard whimpering coming out of it. I got up out my bed, feeling rather woozy. I leaned on the wall for support, and went into the bathroom to find him curled up in a corner crying with a towel on his face.

"Naruto?"

His voice was muffled so I couldn't exactly hear what he was saying.

"Why are you of all people crying."

"Why do you care?"

"I just asking, you don't have to get angry all the time. I was just worried there might be something wrong."

"There's nothing wrong, I'm fine."

Naruto turned to walk away, but was stopped by Sakura.

"Why do you have to act so hard. From what I've seen just now tells me that you're a really sensitive guy deep down. And I want to get to know that part a little better."

I waited for him to answer, and instead of hearing his usual deep voice, I heard a soft voice that sound significantly different.

"Why are you so persistent. We just can't be friends. I'm sorry. I want to protect you from myself. I just can't let you get hurt again."

"But..."

"NO! If I didn't care I wouldn't be telling you this repeatedly would I?" I yelled.

"No."

Tears began to build up in his eyes again, and mine as well. He left out the room leaving me all alone in the room.

Naruto's POV

I got my clothes, and left the hospital. I headed out the main gate. I walked through the quiet forest listening to the birds chirping in the air. After a while walking I came to this large cave. I walked inside, and stepped on this rock. The floor under me, began to sink down into the floor. I was sent into this small room with a large door. I pushed the door open to come into a large dome like room with symbols on the floor, and Gaara at the center waiting for me.

"About time you showed up. What took you so long."

"You told me to meet you later here, so I went back to sleep. I had a nightmare, and woke up. Nothing else."

"You're lying."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Sure."

"Can we just do this already."

"Alright, remove your shirt."

"No."

"You have to."

"I'm questioning your innocence Gaara, SU-PI-CIOUS."

"Shut up, and do it."

"Fine, wait don't help."

"Sorry."

"Supicious." I muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"This is going to sting, so stay still, and concentrate."

"OkAHHHHHHHHHH!" Mind, numbing pain coursed through my body. I felt myself passing out.

"It's alright, you're doing good."

Everything around me went black. I appeared inside my mind in front of the kyubi's cage.

"Are you trying to stop me, brat."

"Yes."

"That's going to be a little hard don't you think."

"What do you mean fur ball."

"Are you that naive, the angrier you get the more you give into my power. And the more you give into my power, the more control I will gain. Pretty soon you and the city will be gone, and I will be free."

"I'm not going to let that happen, I'll stop you."

"You'll try, and you'll fail. Just like last time's attempt."

"That was years ago. I have gotten stronger since then."

"But that's still not going to save you, or your female friend."

This has nothing to do with her kyubi."

"Oh but it does, by her trying to get close to you, and your growing fondness of her. She is becoming a threat. One that will foil my plans in the future if I don't stop her now."

"How are you going to do that?"

"This."

I was immediately bound in a cage made of red chakra. The kyubi lets some of his chakra flow up into my brain, and I was cut off from the outside world. Giving him complete control over my body."

"This is the beginning of the end kid. I'll make all these humans pay for what they have done to me. I slaughter every last one of them.

"I've got to stop kyubi before it's too.....late."
