Chapter IX
Naruto's pov...
"He wants you to marry her this week!?" My mom screamed as I groan.
"I don't understand why, you had to accept such a tricky offer son. I told you, I could have easily placed you in a private school. But you insisted in this school in particular." Dad said with a frustrating look.
"I have my reasons and I hope you guys can understand and trust me in this. Now, I really can't leave this school. Therefore, mom I need you to plan the wedding." I said as they both exchanged worried looks.
"Naruto marrying somebody you don't love. What about the Kyuubi, what does he say in this?" Mom asked as I let out a sigh.
"It's been quiet since I spoke to Mr. Hyuuga yesterday." I responded as Dad crossed his arms over his chest.
"Are you sure about this Naruto?" Dad asked again as I stood up from the dinner table.
"I'm going to bed." I said as they both gave me worried looks.
"Goodnight" They both said in sync as I headed upstairs to my room.
As I lay down in my bed flashbacks of me and Sakura started playing in my mind. I felt a tear roll down my eye as I growl in frustration. Why am I so trapped? And all because of one girl.
Kyuubi: she's not just a girl.
Naruto: now you talk.
Kyuubi: I need to be alone with you.
Naruto: for what?
Kyuubi: I most show you something.
I closed my eyes as the Kyuubi drifted my mind far away. I was now in a dark room as the Kyuubi appeared in front of me. He was in a smaller form of a simple fix only with nine tails.
Kyuubi: are you ready?
Naruto: for what?
Kyuubi: I'm going to show you my memories...
Without being able to say another word the fox transported me to another place. I had fallen down to a snowy land. The snow was white and cold and the breeze was chilly with little invite. The fox popped out of the snow as it shakes off the snow. It gestures me to follow it. As we walk under the snow and wind we manage to find a small village with houses made out of wood. Kids playing with snow and men talking as they pulled up wood. The fox stepped in front of me and made me stop. He told me to stay silent as we both watched.
A lady was walking in the middle of the village as everyone turned to stare. She had a red ridding hood cloth only purple. Her skin was white like the snow and she was hiding her face. She took off her hood and revealed pink hair with beautiful green eyes. She looks so much like Sakura-chan. She held onto a black book for dear life as she walked among the snow.
"Seiko Haruno..." A child said as she smiles at it.
"Yes dear?" She said with a soft and tender voice.
"The soldiers want to see you, it's urgent." The child said as she grabbed a piece of paper and stared at it.
"I'll be there." Seiko said as she left.
The view changed as the Kyuubi transported me to another scenario. I saw Seiko talking to a bunch of soldiers. They were all frighten by some news they've received from the previous villages. Seiko studies the news as she tells the soldiers to let the strange men into their village and she'll take it from there.
The scenario changed again as we went back to the village. Everyone was there awaiting as a group of men approached the villagers. All with horses and weapons. Seiko took off her hood as she looked at the first stranger straight in the eye. The man had blond hair and whiskers in his cheek like mine. He also had blue eyes. He looked a lot like me. She smiles at her as she stares at him in aware.
"I think I just found home..." The guy that looks a lot like me said.
Seiko blushes as she tries to hide her blush and goes with the soldiers. The time passed and Seiko kept on studying the guy that looks like me.
"My name is Naruko." He said as she nodded.
"Seiko" She said as they both blushed.
They were in love? The Kyuubi changed the scene as one of the men from Naruko's group was mad. He was fighting and saying that Naruko couldn't be with a woman like Seiko.
"She's a witch!" The guy said with anger as Naruko glared at him.
"Shut up Saburo Uchiha, I didn't ask for your opinion." Naruko said as he storms out of the place.
The scene changed as I watch Seiko touching the cold snow. There was blood in the snow as she blinked and the blood was gone. Saburo appeared and had a sword. He approached Seiko but before he could he cut his arm as the blood spills. He falls to the ground and a child screams. Seiko turned and watched as she began to heal him.
"Naruko did this to me..." He whispered.
Naruko appeared with a bunch of flowers for Seiko. Seiko started crying as the soldiers had forced her to curse Naruko. Naruko innocent to what awaited him. Seiko placed a curse on Naruko. After that she tried suiciding because of the immense depression she was facing without her lover. They trapped Naruko in the jail as the curse began to consume him. Saburo tried to help Seiko after feeling guilty but then he realized he was opening up to her. One night, one of the soldiers gave Seiko a message telling her what Saburo did. She was so mad she decided to curse him with the same curse Naruko had but the gang got in the way and they all got the same medicine. Seiko tried to make another spell to cure the curse but when she found it. She ran towards Naruko and one of the soldiers found out what she was going to do so they killed her right in front of Naruko's eyes...
Kyuubi: Sakura and you are soul mates. Just like Naruko and Seiko.
I shot open my eyes as the sweat ran down my forehead. Sakura-chan and me are soul mates? I thought that didn't exist. We must have been placed to meet because of the tragedy Seiko and Naruko had. And if Saburo was the reason for it then that means Sasuke will do the same. Kyuubi is right, history will repeat itself. I can't let that happen. I'm not going to lose my Seiko...
~~The next morning~~
Sakura's pov...
I walk down the hallways in a hurry. The rumors of Naruto's engagement were driving me crazy. I was also hiding from Sasuke and the gang. As soon as I noticed Sasuke trapped me inside the closes room. I felt panic take over me. He took away all my books and threw them to the ground as I gasp. He pinned me to the wall as I glare at him.
"It's your fault." He continued as I glare at him.
"DO IT, KILL ME! I BET YOU DON'T HAVE THE BALLS TO DO IT!" I threaten as he punched the wall next to me.
"DON'T TEST ME WOMAN!" Sasuke said as I smirked.
"ASSHOLE!" I shouted as he grabbed my throat.
"I don't know if you were informed. But, your precious Naruto will marry Hinata tomorrow. And there is nothing you can do about it." Sasuke said as I smirked.
I kicked him in the manhood as I left him helplessly on the floor. I opened the door and left. I felt my heart hammering rapidly against my chest. I need to find Naruto.
Naruto's pov...
Hinata and her dad were next to me as my mother spoke to Hinata's dad about the wedding. I don't know what to do right now.
"Naruto-kun, isn't it exciting! That your mother has planned our wedding?" Hinata said as I nodded but ignored her.
I can't marry Hinata, I don't love her. She isn't my soul mate. She isn't the one, this chance only comes once in a life time. I can't let it happen again. Naruko and Seiko deserved better. I walked out of the office as Hinata follows me behind.
"Naruto-kun!" She said as I turned to look at her.
"I don't love you Hinata, you know that right?" I said flatly as she widen her eyes.
"Naruto-kun...you'll learn to love me. I promise! I'll be the best wife." She said determined but that just made me pity her.
I heard footsteps as I see Sakura running over here. She stops and glares at Hinata and at me.
"You planned this too?" Sakura said as Hinata glared.
"He was mine way before you came into the picture!" Hinata screamed back.
Sakura walked towards her and grabbed Hinata's hair. In a blink of an eye they started fighting. Sakura punched Hinata in the gut while Hinata punched Sakura in the face. Once Hinata was out of breath, Sakura punched her in the face as Hinata fell to the ground.
"I've had it with you!" Sakura said with venom in her words.
Sakura was about to approach Hinata again but I grabbed Sakura. Mom and Hinata's dad came out of the office. Hinata's dad shocked at the scene. He glares at Sakura.
"You're expelled!" Mr. Hyuuga said as Sakura smirks.
"Yes! Shannaro!" Sakura said as I held her down.
"What the heck? I've never seen someone so happy to be expelled...I'm glad I wasn't the only one." Mom said as she smiles at Sakura and Sakura returns the smile.
"My daughter! How dare you do this to her!?" Mr. Hyuuga asked as Sakura rolls her eyes.
"I would do it again. If I could..." Sakura said as mom started laughing.
"How dare you laugh!?" He said as Hinata wakes up.
She quickly stands up, furiously looking at Sakura who just raised her eyebrow and sticks her tongue out.
"I'm going to kill you!" Hinata said as Sakura tried to set herself free from my grip.
"Bring it on! I've got a knuckle with your name written on it." Sakura challenged as I covered her mouth.
"Sakura have you gone mad!?" I asked as she bites my hand.
"Sasuke and her are driving me crazy." Sakura said as she finally runs out of my hands and leaves.
Sasuke? I felt the Kyuubi trying to slip as I close my eyes. I turn around as mom walks towards me. She places her hand in my shoulder.
"That's the girl you love? That's the girl you go after!" Mom said as she smirks and winks at me.
"I'm going to kill that idiot." I said as I left.
Kushina's pov...
I watch my little boy go after his true love. True love how I love it! Mr. Hyuuga was driving me crazy with his politics and manners. I turned around to see him screaming at Hinata for being weak. I looked at the poor child. No wonder she looks for love...
"The wedding is off!" I said tearing the contract apart.
"You can't do that!" He screams as I smile at him.
"Listen here, have you ever dealed with an Uzumaki temper?" I asked as he gave me a puzzled look. "You clearly haven't, but allow me to show you. DATTEBANE!"
I punched the man as I left him unconscious. Hinata went to aid him as she began to cry. I felt bad for her, but he clearly needs to learn new manners. I look at Hinata.
"Find someone who truly loves you. Don't force love upon others..." I said with a smile as Hinata looked at me shocked.
Naruto's pov...
"Sakura!" I screamed from the top of my lungs as I searched for her.
Kyuubi: I don't like how this is going so far kid...
Naruto: We will find her...
I ran faster as I bumped into many people but didn't care. The Kyuubi was mumbling things but I wasn't paying attention. I continued to run desperate. I can't lose her, I love her. This bond, I don't know why. Why am I such a wimp for her. All I know is that she's the one.
Kyuubi: NARUTO! Listen to me!
Naruto: WHAT!?
Kyuubi: I smell blood and I think it's Sakura's...
