For the faithful fans who read this story!

Disclaimer- I do NOT own this. (but I DO own a TON of sad songs...)

Warning- This is NOT a chapter for the faint of heart. It will get sad. It will get violent, it will get heart wrenching, and it will end, (hopefully) happily! 3

Sidenote- I feel the need to tell you I don't write outlines for ANY of my stories. I believe they restrict a story's growth. Oh, that's not to say I don't know how it will end, or what's in it, simply that I have vague ideas, and the plot is subject to change.

I am a PageBreak! I am a PageBreak! I am a BagePreak! I am a BreakPage! I am confused.

A scream echoed down the corridor, patients, doctors, and visiting ninja dashed out their doors to try and get a glimpse of the action. These people are unimportant. Our chapter begins down the hall, where the scream was first emitted.

A nurse, new, young, easily intimidated, shrieked in horror at the sight of the body laying on the floor of the youngest Uchiha's room. Blood rushed from the gapping hole that was ripped into the torso. The young boy looked peaceful, and he did not move.

A man, a man with a terrifying face, and an aura that oozed death and reeked of power stood over him, claws covered in blood, tears streaming down his face. A terrible roaring sound, like a wounded dragon, came from his throat. The head of the Uchiha family, Itachi Uchiha, was on his knees, staring at the scene with unseeing eyes, also filled with tears.

He appeared unharmed, but there was something... dead about his gaze. The blood red eyes of the demon-man shifted to her, and he blood froze. The second scream, just about to leave her lips, died on her tongue. Those eyes... they stared, deep, into her soul, peirced her with the sensations of a thousand burning knives ripping her apart and sealing her back together. Their gazes locked, and for an instant, she felt the level of pain this man- no, this creature was in, and it terrified her. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fainted.

But it was too late, people were streaming down the halls, staring in the room. Shikamaru, Shino and Asuma appeared in the door way. The monkey's uncle locked eyes with the feral man, while the two boys recognized the bloody mangled corpse on the floor. With another roar, the feral man with the bloody gaze grabbed the body... and disappeared.

Shikamaru turned to Shino. Both of their eyes were wide with disbelief. "He...he's..." Wordlessly, with an air of shock, Shino nodded his head.

I am a PageBreak! I am a PageBreak! I am a BagePreak! I am a BreakPage! I am confused.

The public funeral wasn't a funeral at all. Villagers laughed and drank and partied, but not for the lost boy's life, for his death. The 'death of a demon.' they were calling it. Shino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Asuma, Itachi and Iruka looked on in disgust, hating their village more and more with every person they saw. No one cried. The ones who would have had long since lost their tears, and the rest just didn't care. The aforementioned ninja wished, more than anything, that these fools were dead. Little did they know, they weren't the only ones.

The four black cloaked and hooded figures that moved among the villagers were disgusted. These people were celebrating at a funeral! Three of them needed to be calmed often, least they attack the idiots around them. The shortest one merely set a hand softly on the arm of the angered one, and moved on.

When the private funeral started the next day, Shino and Shikamaru both talked breifly about their friend, Itachi refused to speak still. Asuma cried softly. Sarutobi wept openly.

A small hand tugged on the black sleeve of one of the cloaked men. "Will you say something about Naruto-nii-chan?" Konohamaru asked queitly. There was a pause, and then the man nodded. He stepped up to the podium and swept his hood off. The man, long red hair unbound and flowing down around his shoulders stood straight up.

His blood red eyes swept the clearing. There was a pause of silence as the various people recognized him. Finally, the man spoke. "Naruto... was my dearest friend. My jailor... my brother, my son... my family. And I loved him with all my heart. What he did will always be remembered by my people. He was sunshine, and laughter. He was smiles. Naruto was so sad, and he had so many problems of his own, but he still found time for other people. He had so much potential... and he threw it all away because, in essence, Naruto was love. He loved many people, without reserve. And one of those people lost so much. Just as much and Naruto himself, and yet, still had more to lose. And when Naruto found out that this person could lose one of the last things he had, Naruto decided to act. He sacrificed himself for love, because in the end, that's all he wanted. Love."The feral man bowed his head. "And now, we bid farewell to a secret hero, who saved this ungreateful village, and changed the heart of a king of demons." The three men moved to stand behind the red haired one. "Good bye, Naru-chan! Koji and Ookami will miss you!" Two sing song voices floated from two hoods.

The shortest one, the only one who had yet to speak, approached the two teammates of the deceased where they stood with Itachi. Into each hand, he pressed a single blood red rose. He returned to his place beside the red haired one Iruka, Shino, Shikamaru and Itachi recognized as Mitsukai. The Hokage and Asuma, however, knew better.

"Good bye, King of Demons." The elderly Sarutobi told the red haired man, who nodded slowly. "Good bye, Leader if Humans." As they turned to disappear, the short one looked back at them. "Sometimes... I wonder who is more evil. Humans... or demons?" And then they were gone.

I am a PageBreak! I am a PageBreak! I am a BagePreak! I am a BreakPage! I am confused.

Wooohooo! Book One DONE! =) In case your wondering, I'm doing this in 'books'. Oh, they'll all be in this one story, but after this, we're having a HUGE time skip, like... a five year one, so they get older, get wiser and grow... =)

I hope you all liked the first installment of 'Forever! Feels like home!" =) The next chapter will be up as soon as I finish it!
