I ran out the bathhouse looking for Sasuke. This time, it was tell him something different.
I ran around everywhere, but I couldn't find him. I gave up. I was tired, angry, and upset with myself. None of this would have happened if I didn't open that box!
I began to walk home when I sensed a powerful energy. I looked around, paranoid by the owner's chakra. "Who's there?!" I yelled while looking around.
"Naruto..." I heard in a whisper.
My eyes widen at the voice. There's only one person that I know with that voice!
In fear, I ran home and locked the doors quickly. I lifted my shirt and placed a hand over my belly. "The seal really is gone...Which means I'm no longer the owner, but who is it?!"
In panic I covered myself with the bedsheets. "The Nine tails can't be loose. Maybe it disappeared along with the seal. Maybe my fate was to be normal," I said to myself.
I closed my eyes in hopes I would fall asleep quickly. There's no way the nine tails is out...but I'm so sure that was his voice!
That night I had the most frightening dream:
I was face to face with Kurama, who was no longer in his prison cell.
"Naruto! What did you do to free me?" He asked with a smirk.
I looked at him with fear. "I did this?" I asked.
"Yes you did, and judging by your reaction, you don't even know what you did."
What could have-?!
In that instant, I remembered the stone. My hands curled up into a fist as I thought about my ridiculous mistake.
"It was the stone...it was that damn stone!" I yelled as I fell to the ground.
Kurama began to laugh. "Ahh yes the fate changing stone! That explains your appearance as well." He looked at me with a great grin, "I have to thank you for freeing me, Naruto!"
What have I done?!
Kurama waved his tails happily as he began to laugh evily. "This time...this time I'll crush your village!"
I looked at Kurama in fear. "No, you can't! You can't destroy the hidden leaf!"
"Hahaha, see you in a few days, Naruto!"
I quickly woke up from my dream, panting and sweating uncontrollably. "Oh no...oh no no no!" I quickly got dressed and ran out the door to talk to the hokage.
I knocked on the hokage's house door furiously. "Old man, open up! It's important!" I yelled as I felt the palms of my hands begin to clamp up.
The third opened the door; he was in his pajamas, rubbing his eyes to try and wake himself up. "Naruto? What happened?" He asked while in a haze.
"You gotta listen to me! The Nine tails is coming!"
He was quickly snapped out of his sleepy haze and looked at me in shock. "What did you say?"
"The Nine tails! He's no longer in my seal, and he's headed this way to the village! You gotta believe me old man!"
"Naruto...that's impossible. I was informed that your seal was gone, but if he really was out we would have seen him immediately."
I grabbed onto my pigtails in stress. "Listen, for some reason he's chosen to come out now, and he's headed this way. You gotta believe me!"
"Naruto, how do you even know about this? Did you see him?"
"Yes!...and No. He came to me in a dream and--"
"Naruto, unless you are some sort of Oracle, I can't really take your word. I'm not going to send my citizens into panic because of your dream. Good night, Naruto." He shut the door of his home, leaving me outside.
Why...why didn't he believe me?!
I gdowled in anger and quickly ran towards the gate of the village.
If he won't believe me, I'll just have to solve this on my own!
I finally reached the gate. I was out of breath from running and panicking, and my body was starting to shake in fear.
"Open the gate!" I yelled at the ninja guarding the gate.
"Naruto? What're you doing here so late at night?"
"Does it matter?! Just open the gate!" I retorted angrily.
The ninja at the gate sighed and crossed his arms in annoyance. "Sorry Naruto, no can do."
I grunted in anger as I ran away to find the tallest building I could find. I sat on top of that building, looking past the gate in fear.
I know he's coming. I can feel it. That was not just a dream.
"You shouldn't be sleeping here, idiot."
I opened my eyes to see Sasuke hovering over me. I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes. "When did I fall asleep?"
Sasuke sat down next to me with one leg hanging over the edge of the building and the other up against his chest. He rested his head on his knee as he closed his eyes. "It's peaceful here..."
I looked at him with a pain in my heart. I have to tell him I don't like him...It's for the best...
"Sasuke--"
"I love you."
My eyes widened as I felt my heart skip a beat. "What?"
His face turned pink as he scratched his head in embarssement. "I'm not gonna say it again."
I giggled at his childish gesture, but my moment of happiness quickly faded as I felt the guilt in my chest. That's right...Sasuke isn't mine to love...
I looked down at the floor sadly.
"What's wrong?" He asked, "Is it because of what I said? I'm sorry I was--"
"No!" I yelled. "No...It's not that."
"Then what is it?"
I felt my blood go cold and my heart cry in pain. I have to do it...
"Sasuke...I don't think we're meant for each other."
"What?"
"Look, I'm going to turn back into a guy soon, and I don't think the feelings you feel for me are real."
"What're you saying? What haven't I done to convince you? Did I not make my feelings clear enough? I'll say it over and over again if I have to. Naruto I--"
"No you don't!" I interrupted. "You don't love me, okay Sasuke? First of all, you don't know what love is. We're too young! Second of all, you love female Naruto, not guy Naruto..."
I can't believe I'm saying all of this shit.
He looked at me angrily and grabbed my wrist, forcefully pulling me towards him. "Naruto, I've told you time and time again, that I love you. Not guy Naruto. Not female Naruto, but you. There's no one I rather be with than you." He then bent over and kissed me passionately, sending tears to my eyes.
I love you too, Sasuke...I love you so much...
I quickly pushed him away before things went further. "I'm sorry Sasuke, I can't. I don't think I like you as much as you like me."
"Then I'll wait for you to--"
"Don't. Because I'll never be able to love you..." In that moment I heard my heart completely shatter. I could no longer feel anything. "So yeah...Besides! Sakura's a full time girl, and she likes you a lot, so go for her!"
He looked at me angrily. "I can't believe you're saying all this bullshit." He stood up and continued to look down on me. "I can't believe I loved someone like you." He turned around and left without a another word.
As soon as he left, all the tears I had been holding in all came out at once. "I'm so sorry!" I yelled as I cried strongly.
"I'm so sorry Sasuke, but it's for your own good!"
I cried on top of that building all day until there were no more tears left to shed.
"I wanna die in a hole..." I whispered to myself as I dug my face into my arms while sitting on top of the building, legs against my chest.
"Who knew heartbreak hurt this much..."
I feel so empty inside...
As I sat there heartbroken, I heard someone yelling my name. I looked over to see Sakura making her way to the roof top.
Great...she's The last person I wanna see right now.
"Naruto, have you seen Sasuke?!" She asked in panic.
"No..." I practically whispered.
"I think he's gone!" She whined while dropping to her knees.
I looked over at her in panic. "What?"
"Sasuke's gone!"
