Naruto looked at his reflection in the mirror in his bathroom quietly. His ugly face had yet another blemish on it. Kyuubi had decided that he needed to be punished for being late so he had given him another black eye along with a few other wounds that would be easily hidden under his clothes. Naruto sighed. This would give the students more reason to make fun of him. They always made fun of his face. They laughed at the scars that he had on his cheeks without even knowing what they were from. They all thought that the strange scars were either birthmarks or had been inflicted during some sort of freak accident, but if they looked closer they would see that the wounds were very deliberate. None of the students ever bothered to look closer though. They only took the time to look at his face for enough to make fun of him with. Even that sometimes didn't even happen.
Sometimes Naruto just wished that they would take another look at his face. If they would just do that, then maybe they wouldn't find him so disgusting to them. Maybe they would see that he wasn't a bad person. Maybe they would see that he was just a boy who loved to smile but was always forced to cry.
Naruto growled at his own reflection and punched the mirror. It shattered and several pieces clattered into the sink. Naruto smiled at that. He didn't want to look at his face anymore. If the students couldn't look at his face without seeing something disgusting, then why should he? He could still see his reflection in the pieces, but they were so shattered that there was never a clear view of his face. Now he wouldn't have a to look at his face again.
There was a particularly large shard in the middle of the sink and Naruto grabbed it. The edges cut into his fingers, but he held onto it nonetheless. Maybe he could just end it now and be done with it. He didn't need to graduate. What would be the point of graduating if he was just going to kill himself right after that? He could just do the deed right now. Then all of his suffering end and he might finally be able to smile honestly again.
No. Naruto shook his head. He wouldn't do that. He didn't want to do that. If he could just last until graduation, he could move out. He could move far away from Kyuubi and all of the rest of the students that hurt him on a daily basis.
But would Kyuubi even let him leave? Would he allow him to move out and loose the only person he was able to control? Naruto didn't think he would be allowed to leave even after graduation. He would be trapped here with his brother for the rest of his life. That wasn't a life to look forward to. If he just ended it all now, he wouldn't have to spend all of his time at school waiting to graduate so he could spend the rest of his life trapped in the house with his brother beating him.
Naruto dropped the shard back in the sink and ran out of the room. When Kyuubi saw the broken mirror, he would not be happy with Naruto, but Naruto couldn't stay in the same room with those sharp pieces of glass just asking him to use them in the worst of ways. He didn't want to do that so he buried himself under his covers where he would stay until the next morning where everyone would be forced to look at his ugly face again.
