Chapter 6: Everythin' for the name of love.

Sakura opened her eyes in her bed hugging Naruto's windbreaker. "Sakura, you're all right. Thank goodness."~Mother hugged Sakura. "Mother, where's Naruto?"~Sakura sat up hugging Naruto's windbreaker. "Don't know, but he left this behind for you."~Mother handed Sakura a book. Sakura opened the book and out fell a foxtail.

"A foxtail?"~Sakura.picked up the foxtail from the floor. 'Naruto gave me this foxtail because it reminds both of us what we had and have."~Sakura rubbed the foxtail on her cheek. 'It's soft, warm, and gentle at the same time. Just like Naruto."~Sakura looked out her window.

'Sakura-chan.'~Naruto sat on the monument lookin' down on Hidden Leaf Village. "Naruto-kun, I am in control of you. I command you to bow down to me, my slave. I, Master Talas, am now your master."~Talas said behind Naruto. "Talas, you..."~Naruto quickly turned jumpping away from Talas taking out his kunai. "Is that anyway to greet your master?"~Talas raised his hand closing his hand into a fist twisting it to the right.



Naruto dropped his kunai holding his hand on his left chest. "Wha-"~Naruto vomited some blood. Talas chuckled walking up close to Naruto. Kicking Naruto in the stomach. Naruto flew backwards falling to the ground. "Is that the best you got?"~Naruto stood up. "Hmpt. You're stronger then I thought little punk."~Talas. "*coughs* W-What have you done to me?"~Naruto had one eye open glaring at Talas.

"You remember Tala? His threads done this to you. It's all thanks to him. I really hate guys like you for killing one of my men. So, I'm going to repay the favor."~Talas kicked Naruto again. Naruto flew back crashing to the ground. "You're not going to kill me like that."~Naruto stood up with trembling legs barely keeping Naruto up.

'He's trembling.'~Talas twisted his fist half way to the right. "Heh. Heh. How does that feel? Come on, I want to hear you scream or at least say uncle."~Talas "N-Never!"~Naruto. "Hpmt. Fine have it your way."~Talas opened his fist. Naruto huffed deeply as his legs felt numb. Naruto's legs gave in making him fall down to his knees on the ground. 'My-My legs won't move? Why?'~Naruto held a fist.

"I won't kill you yet."~Talas grabbed Naruto's black muscle shirt's collor pullling him up. "What do you want with me."~Naruto. "That's easy. I want you to reck Hidden Leaf Village. So, I can re-create it."~Talas. "No way! I won't do your evil will."~Naruto.

"*chuckles* I don't think you know what you're up against. Do as I say or you'll die."~Talas twisted his fist to the left, Naruto held in the pain. 'I have to get free somehow.'~Naruto kicked Talas in the shins. Talas dropped Naruto.

"Remember, I got control over your heart."~Talas opened his fist. "You may control my heart but you don't own it."~Naruto. "True. The one who owns your heart is none other then Sakura."~Talas. Naruto's eyes widened in shock. 'How could he have known?'~Naruto. "Naruto-kun, if you disobey me. Sakura dies."~Talas. "Leave Sakura-chan out of this!"~Naruto demanded. "Not until you obey me."~Talas. Naruto growled.

"Heh. Heh. Good boy, I knew using Sakura would make you do my will."~Talas walked up to Naruto, rubbing Naruto's head. 'I have to protect Sakura-chan. I promised her.'~Naruto closed his eyes as a red aura surrounded his body.

'Perfect. He's transforming into the Demon Fox."~Talas pushed Naruto off the monument. 'Why should I protect this village? Everyone hates me. I'll kill everyone and everything.'~Kyuubi-Naruto opened his red eyes crashing to the ground.

A huge fox with nine tails lifted it's head and body from the ground. "Kill everyone. Everyone hates you."~Talas jumpped ontop of the Demon Fox' head. The Demon Fox shook his head making Talas fall off his head to the ground. "Hey! I'm your master. Obey me."~Talas. The Demon Fox growled. "No! This can't be happening."~Talas got split into two by the Demon Fox' claws. Demon Fox hissed swinging his tail chipping the monument.

"Sakura, we must leave."~Mother ran into Sakura's room grabbing Sakura's wrist. "But,"~Sakura. "The Demon Fox, Kyuubi has returned."~Mother pulled Sakura. 'The kitsune, Kyuubi?'~Sakura. '*gasps* Naruto.'~Sakura.

~~~~

"The boy, Naruto has no control over the demon fox, Kyuubi. He's unconscience. We should kill him, Hokage-sama."~Sakura's Father bowed. "Hmm..."~Hokage # 3. "Wait!"~Sakura walked up to Hokage # 3 and her father. "Hokage-sama, we can't kill the demon fox. We'll hurt Naruto. Can't we do something else?"~Sakura.

"Silence daughter. You were not there 13 years ago. Show more respect."~Her father demanded. Sakura looked at her father. "There is nothing we can do but kill him."~Her father told her. "But, Naruto. Naruto..."~Sakura paused and took a deep breathe. "Naruto, still has a dream to fulfill."~Sakura shouted having her eyes closed.

Hokage # 3 eyes widened. 'Could it be? Could she be the one to save this village from the demon fox?'~Hokage #3 wondered. 'It seems she's grown fond of Naruto. Maybe she's the only one who can reach out to him and save this village. True love. Could true love between the Kyuubi and this girl be that strong to reach out to each other? Is this what true love is all about? It's been so long since I felt true love.'~Hokage # 3 stared at Sakura.

"Sakura, you don't understand. Stay here with your mother."~Sakura's Father left with an Anbu squad. 'If I don't go. Naruto will be killed.'~Sakura felt helpless and shook her head. "No, I won't let that happen to my best friend.'~Sakura ran out the door. "Sakura-chan."~Mother cried reaching her hand out.

"Let Sakura-chan go. Perhaps, young love will save our village."~Hokage # 3 closed his eyes. "Hokage-sama."~Mother looked at Hokage. 'The young love between Kyuubi and her will break the spell on Naruto. I know their love will reach each other. But the sad part is will Naruto live?'~Hokage #3 opened his eyes looking into his crystal ball.

"Naruto!"~Sakura yelled standing in front of the huge fox. The Demon Fox hissed turning it's body around, swinging his tail at Sakura. "Sakura!"~Sakura's father yelled. Kyuubi frooze. "Naruto, are you in there? It's me, Sakura-chan."~Sakura. "Sakura-chan."~Naruto whispered inside the Kitsune's head looking out of Kyuubi's eyes seeing Sakura. The demon fox leaned his head down smelling Sakura's hair.

"Sakura, get away from him."~Sakura's father shouted. "Shh... I think Naruto is remembering. Maybe we won't have to kill him. Let's see if young love will work."~Anbu #1 hushed. "You mean to tell me that my little girl is in love with the kitsune, Kyuubi!?"~Sakura's father asked. "It looks like it. Why Sakura's risking her life."~Anbu #2. "No. I won't allow it."~Father took out his kunai racing towards Sakura and the kitsune. 'I won't let my daughter love such a demon.'~Father jumpped up.

"Sakura-chan, "~Naruto closed his eyes enjoying her sent. "But wait... Doesn't she hate me? She loves Sasuke. Everyone hates me. Everyone loves Sasuke."~Kyuubi-Naruto recalled opening his eyes. The demon fox backed away staring at Sakura. Sakura smiled warmly at him. "She's trying to trick me."~Kyuubi-Naruto snarled.

"I'll kill all who stand in my way."~Kyuubi-Naruto glared at Sakura. The demon fox lifted his paw up intending to slash Sakura in two. "Say good-bye, girl."~Kyuubi-Naruto shouted as the demon fox slashed his paw down at Sakura. Sakura gaspped as a thousand of kunaies stabbed kitsune in the back.

"Sakura, Daddy's here to save you. Get away from my daughter, Kyuubi."~Father. "Damnit. I knew it. Sakura was trying to get me to put my guard down. If only Naruto would stop trying to stop me from killing her.'~Kyuubi-Naruto.

"Naruto, Sakura loves Sasuke, not you. So, I'll kill her for making you in so much pain."~Kyuubi-Naruto hissed. The demon fox swong his tail hitting Sakura's father away and using it's chakra to blow out all the kunaies out of it's body.

"Daddy!"~Sakura yelled as her father crashed into the ground. "Naruto, that's enough! Stop it!"~Sakura turned her attention to the fox demon. "You think you can just tell me what to do? I'm not Naruto."~Kyuubi-Naruto.

Fox demon snarled swinging his tails at Sakura. Sakura screamed as the tails hit the ground. "Heh. Heh. I finally got rid of her. Now nothing will stand in my way."~Kyuubi-Naruto laughed lifting his tail up seeing Sakura gone.

"Not quite."~a deep voice said. Fox demon turned seeing a young man with black hair holding Sakura in his arms. Sakura slowly opened her eyes. "Sasuke-kun?"~Sakura. Sasuke landed on the ground placing her down on the ground.

"Sakura, Naruto went insane. We have no choice but to kill him before he gets worse. Stay back and let me do it."~Sasuke jumpped up. "Sasuke-kun, wait!"~Sakura jumpped up after him embracing him in a hug.

"Sakura?"~Sasuke looked over his shoulder. "Please don't kill Naruto. He's my best friend. I won't be able to live without him."~Sakura whispered. Fox demon swong his tails hitting Sakura's back.

Sasuke and Sakura crashed down to the ground. "Sakura, Naruto is not in control of the fox demon. There is no way of reaching him."~Sasuke held Sakura in his arms. 'Reaching him.'~Sakura looked up at the worried Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, I know Naruto's in there. Please let me try again. I know I can reach out to the real Naruto. Sasuke-kun, I know who I love now. That's why I have to save him."~Sakura sat up. Sasuke's eyes widened.

'True. I always thought I loved Sasuke-kun, but he was only a crush. While Naruto always came to the rescue. Naruto may be always making mistakes and stupid, but whenever we were in a pinch. He always arrived.'~Sakura slowly stood up.

"Sakura, don't. You'll be killed."~Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun, when you're in love. You'll understand the feeling I feel inside my heart."~Sakura smiled at Sasuke. Sasuke opened his mouth.

"Sasuke-kun, there is nothing you can say to stop me from saving the one I truely love."~Sakura ran away towards the fox demon. "Sakura."~Sasuke felt his heart break watching the only girl he ever opened up to run away from him because she fell in love with another guy who was his rival.

'Naruto, it is true. Without you, I'd be missing a part of myself. An emptiness, I don't want to experience again. I'll save you like you always saved me, because the truth is...'~Sakura ran in slow motion towards the fox demon. Seeing an image of Naruto smiling at her. "Sakura-chan."~Naruto's voice echoed inside her mind. 'I really truely love you, Naruto.'~Sakura stopped as the image of Naruto faded away.

"Naruto!"~Sakura yelled. Fox demon turned around. "So, there you are. Thanks a whole bunch saving me the time seaching for you. Now I'm going to finsh you off. Once and for all."~Kyuubi-Naruto. "Then come and get me if you can."~Sakura. Fox demon jumpped at her. 'Naruto, I know you're in there. I'll find a way to reach you. Even if that means my life will end.'~Sakura awaited the assult. "SAKURA!"~Sasuke.
