Chapter 11

That day after Miyoku explained everything, Naruto got all his friends to the restaurant. "Everybody sit down and order anything you want." Naruto said. Everybody wasn't so excited since they knew Miyoku almost destroyed the village and he was joining them to eat. Choji was the one already ordering. Everyone sat at their seats and just ordered, Miyoku came in and everyone just glared at him. Miyoku just sat between Naruto and Sakura. Naruto kind of knew what Miyoku was feeling, everyone glaring and hating him because he was a Jinjuriki. "Why can't everyone just smile and say hi or something" Naruto tried to get someone to talk. "His chakra still smells bad." Kiba blurted out. Neji could feel an intense chakra raising from Miyoku, "His anger is rising" thinking to himself. A while later, everyone was talking to each other and ignored Miyoku, he just sat there eating with a blank expression. During the whole time, Sakura couldn't help of feeling bad for Miyoku. Sakura couldn't take it anymore, "THAT'S IT! All of you are horrible to him. You think he's evil and terrible, but he saved Naruto's life twice! And he-" Miyoku interrupted, "It's okay Sakura, I'll just leave if it makes them uncomfortable for me to be here. I'll put the money on the table for you guys…" And with that he left silently, Sakura just glared at everybody and left them to catch up to Miyoku. "Maybe Sakura is right…" Lee said, "we were a little harsh on him." Choji stopped eating (surprisingly), "I'm not really hungry anymore…" Everyone felt the same way, and just stared and played with their food.

Sakura ran out the restaurant, and tried to get to Miyoku. He wasn't outside, "He couldn't have gone that far" Sakura thought. She then heard a scraping noise on the roof, it was very unpleasant to hear. It was like screws scraping metal. She jumped on the roof to see a depressed Miyoku scrapping his Monstra claws on a steel wall. Sakura sat beside him, "Are you okay?" "No", answered Miyoku, deactivating his Monstra technique. "It may get tough trying to make friends, but you got two friends already." said Sakura trying to cheer him up. "Who are they?" asked Miyoku. "It's Naruto and me of course!" saying it cheerfully. Miyoku startled by that sentence, "I'm your friend…"

"Yes… Why do you say it like that?" questioned Sakura. "I've never… had a friend…" Miyoku looked even more depressed after saying that. Sakura knew how that felt for Naruto but he made friends with Sakura and Sasuke. Miyoku didn't have any friends, he knew having a powerful Biju would make him suffer, but not like this.

All was quiet for the two of them, they watched the sunset since it was the only thing to do. Sakura got up, "Well, I have to check the hospital if there are any patients." "Wait!…" Miyoku grabbed her arm. It was quiet for a few minutes, "Is it possible… for me… to like you… more than a friend?…" Miyoku tried to take those words out as hard as he can. Sakura blushed at the question. "It's nice being with you, and I seem to calm down whenever I think of you." Sakura was surprised to hear that but still speechless. "So can we be together before the next full moon comes so I won't leave as a monster?" asked Miyoku. Sakura was still silent, but then she smiled. Sakura came up to him and kissed him on the cheek, "Alright…" Sakura then left with a smile. Miyoku then felt something that he didn't feel before. He felt happiness and peace. Unknown to him, Naruto jealously watched what happened.
