Whispers In The Dark
Chapter VII
Of Nightmares and Voices
Naruto could feel the eyes on his skin, slowly turning into icy hands wrapped around his throat. He couldn't breath! He struggled against the hands as he tried to breath
"Hello little Naruto, Mother and father miss you terribly" Kyuubi's voice whispered in his ear as the hands slowly grew scales.
Snakes covered the bed, he tried to scream but a snake tightened it's slimy green-ish brown body over his mouth blocking all sound. The snake turned it's head towards him it's eyes yellow eyes burning into his mind
"have you missed me?" the voice felt like acid in his ears,
Naruto started thrashing his body around trying get the snake away. Digging his nails in, he grabbed the snake and threw it across the room screaming as loud as he could he could feel hands shaking him but he couldn't see them. He screamed
"GO AWAY, go away go away" he yelled turning to a whisper
//end Dream//
Iruka shook the blonde trying to wake him
"Naruto! Wake up"
Kyuubi returned to the room with a cup of water in hand, dumping it over Naruto's head. The blonde awoke gasping and clawing at his throat mumbling
"go away, go away, go away" Iruka glared at Kyuubi
"was that really necessary?" Kyuubi just shrugged.
Naruto calmed down looking around the room slowly, looking for snakes and yellow eyes; finding none he turned to Iruka
"I'm okay now" he put his hand on his forehead covering one eye
"Sorry I woke you" his voice sounded hollow in his own ears
"it's fine, just get some sleep" Iruka stood and left the room closing the door behind him.
Naruto laid back onto the bed not realizing when he had exactly sat up, he stared at a blank wall of darkness until he drifted back to sleep. Naruto awoke the second time to the alarm clock loudly going off, Naruto's hand searched around lazily for it before knocking it off the end table and onto the floor. Groaning he leaned over the side of his bed and grabbed it to press the little button on top, setting it back on the table he stood stretching out the kinks in his muscles. He quickly put on his gray uniform and white socks
"why do you set your alarm so late?" Aki asked
"Because if I set it to a normal time I have to hang around longer" Naruto grabbed his bag and ran downstairs.
Kyuubi sat at the table sipping coffee, he smiled slightly hearing Naruto coming down the stairs. He stood and made his way to the living room, watching his younger brother pull on his shoes
"aren't you running late Naru-chan?" Kyuubi asked Naruto looked over his shoulder
"No" he said running out the door.
Naruto quickly made his way to the bus stop
"You are running late, you know?" Naruto sighed as the bus pulled up 'yeah yeah' he thought moving to the back and sitting next Kiba 'but I hardly ever miss the bus' "morning" he greeted his best friend only to get a mumbled
"yeah"
Kiba had his head resting against the window his eyes more than half closed. Naruto sat waiting for the bus to reach it's destination, it felt like it was going to be a long morning.
