Catch me, don't let me fall,
I'm waiting for you
Catch me, I'm falling
The world is slipping away
What I thought I knew
Isn't true
I'm falling, won't some one save me?
They walk right by, they refuse to see me
I'm almost to the ground... no ones going to catch me...
There are bushes and twigs trying to hold me,
But they break...
The ground feels hard against my back
No one caught me, they let me fall...

Naruto woke up the next day, nothing different about that. He ate some toast and drank some of his milk that happened to be past it's date. ( remember when the chapter when we first meet Kakashi? Yep, still hasn't gotten new milk... heh heh heh ) He put on his orange jump suit and his bandanna thingy ( some tell me what it's called). As he headed for school he saw the first thing that made this day different. he was use to seeing lots of kids walking to school as well, but none of them said anything. But today, as soon as they saw him, they started whispering and pointing. Some gasped, other chucked, some looked like they were ready to kill. Naruto tilted his head to the side then shrugged it off. Now the walk to school was about ten minutes from his house, but Naruto's not well known for putting up with something he doesn't like for long, and the kids behind him wasn't something he liked... Naruto turned around to face them.
" Is there something I should know about?!" He snarled at them. They all looked at him like he was about to eat them.
" Like you don't know!" A random girl yelled back.
" Why don't you just go jump in a river!" A boy shouted. Naruto, not being one for putting up with this kinda thing ( like I said) did something VERY stupid to do. He charged up to the boy and grabbed he by the throat.
" WHAT DID YA' TELL TELL ME TO DO?!!!" Naruto yelled at the boy. All the kids started screaming.
" He going to eat us!"
" Do you think he can turn in to the fox at will?!"
" If he does the adults will kill'em!" Now Naruto went numb from this.
*// FOX?!!! NOW DID THEY FIND OUT?!! THIS ISN'T GOOD!!! CRAP!!! CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP!!!//* Nice thoughts, eh? Anyways, Naruto didn't notice when the boy broke free from him and ran faster then a monkey being chased by a nine-tailed fox. Well, if Naruto wasn't in his crapy world right now, that would be happening, but sense he isn't, too bad. After about another ten minutes, Naruto gained the ability to move once more. If figured that if he went to school that they all would know, and he didn't want to put up with that, so he turned and went to find a nice tree that if he sat in it, he could see the school, but be unseen himself. He ended up staying in the tree that Sakura and Sasuke had talked under. ( not that Naruto knew that or anything.) Naruto looked down and saw Sakura and Sasuke talking under the tree he was in. ( not that they knew Naruto was in the tree.)
" How did everyone find out?!" Sakura sighed, " We didn't tell anyone! Well, at least I didn't... Did you?" Sasuke shot her a angry look.
" No way, I know better then that. I think someone must of overheard us when we talked about it here, thats the only way." Sasuke said thoughtfully. Naruto used everything he had not to jump down on them and rip their heads off.
*//THEY were the ones that let it spread... wait... not did THEY find out?!//*
" God, now I'm sorry we ever follow Naruto..."
*// Ah ha! Thats how... but does that make it my fault or there's? Hmmm, I need to think about this...//* Start guy anit he? but really if you think about it, who's fault is it really? Sasuke and Sakura's for following or Naruto's and the others for talking about without checking to see if someone was listening.
" hmmm... I don't know what to do... we can't tell Naruto were sorry, that would be like telling him we followed him. But we can't just sit here and do nothing..." Sasuke sighed as he slipped down and sat under the tree. Sakura followed suit. The bell for school rang ( do they have a school bell?! Oh well, they do now!) and they sat back up.
" By now I'm sure Naruto knows that the whole school knows... I don't think he'll come to class..." Sakura said with a tone that said both ' I very sad about that' and 'YAHOO!!! NO NARUTO!' Sasuke, on the other hand looked mad again.
" He better. He's stronger then that. He'd be a real wimp if he skipped school because of something people don't even know if its true or not." With that Naruto took this as a great time to say hello. Meaning that Sakura and Sasuke aren't going to know what hit them... Naruto used the copy thing again and then transformed both himself and the copy... Sakura and Sasuke heard the leaves move and look up in time to see... TWO GIANT SPIDERS JUMP DOWN ON THEM!
" AHHHHHH!!! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!!" Sakura yelled loudly as Sasuke knocked off both hers and his. The 'spiders' made a pfoof noise and there was a very mad Naruto standing in front of them.
" Hem?" Sakura and Sasuke had the deer in the headlights look. Just as Sakura opened her mouth, another voice shot out.
" SAKURA! SASUKE! NARUTO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET TO CLASS!!!" Master Iruka yelled from a window. They could see the whole class looking as well. Most of them were pointing and talking. Naruto sighed and lead the troops to what was going to look like his worst day of school ever...
*~ Later, wayyyyyyyyyy later ~*
Naruto sat in a corner in his room. The darkest corner. No light reached this place. It felt like his soul. He couldn't even think about a smile, none the less wear one. The day kept replaying in his head. It took everything Naruto could to stop from crying...
~~ flashback! ~~
" I can't believe they let him in..."
" Wheres a demon killer when you need one..."
" They should have a sign 'no cats, dogs or sealed fox demons allowed.'"
" No way, thats insulting the cats and dogs!"
" Yeah, your right."
Naruto put his head down on his desk. He was trying to tune out the whispering, but it hurt too much to work. Master Iruka tried the best he could, but he couldn't but too keep too many more people after school... ( note: if they didn't have to stay after school for being bad before, they do now!) Sakura and Sasuke kept looking at him, but not in a mean way. More of a 'we're sorry that this happened, but we'll make it up to you by trying to make you feel to bad but we now that nothing we do and change this but we're doing it any way so suck it up.' Nice look, I'd like to see someone with that look one day...
" Hmmm... I say we do the village a favor and make sure that every soul in town knows. I mean, even the little children should know. What if he attacks them? At least they'd know not to go near him." Naruto couldn't help it, a tear dripped, but only one, and no one saw.
-lunch-
Naruto had finally ran to a bathroom. He had been attack by rocks, spitwads, shuriken and other objects. He sat in a corner and put his head on his shoulders. Things were going downhill fast...
-after school ( wow, have you ever noticed that flashbacks are either very fast or reallyyyyy slow? I have. )-
Naruto dragged his feet on the way home. He stopped by a street that was a short-cut home, but he had to think. The street had a lot of people on it, most of them were kids from his class. The longer way had less people but it would take more time to get home... Against his better judgment, he picked the shorter route. If he had taken the longer one maybe he wouldn't feel so bad... he was just about home when he heard a sound. It sounded like a lot of people were gathered together. He looked around and saw that it was happening in a plaza near were he was. He went there and saw lots of people in a grouping. A man was standing on a soup box. ( I know, but my world history teacher made us stand on soup boxes and say speeches so live with it.)
" The kids know that the demon walks around free! I think it's time we start treating that damned fox the way it should be treated! " The man shouted. A woman from the crowd shouted.
" That thing shouldn't be allowed in a school were our children could be hurt!"
" It shouldn't be allowed out of a house were it could hurt anyone!"
" It shouldn't be allowed in the village!"
" It shouldn't be allowed to live! If I had my way, I would have killed that boy years ago! I still think we should! The Hokage doesn't see that that damned Naruto is going to kill us all if we don't that action!" The man on the soup box yelled. Naruto walked away as another round of what he shouldn't be allowed popped up.
*~ Back to the corner ~*
He moaned again. He'd never really been truly happy before or loved, but now, going on with life was hell... But he wouldn't amke Sasuke think he was a wimp! He'd show up for school tomorrow just like always. He learned to life with being treated like dirt from the adults, now he'd just have to learn now to do it with the rest of the town. His thoughts were stopped the crash and sound on broken glass coming from his living room. He walked up the the broken window and saw about five shapes run. They had threwn something at his window. He looked down and saw a piece of paper around a rock. Naruto looked at the paper. It was a comic strip that read ' the worlds tougest question: which way is the most enjoyable way to kill a fox sealed in a boys body?' There were three pictures. ( all showing him with fox ears ) the first one had him hanging from a tree by his toe upside down with about 20 shuriken stuck in his body. The second was him tied to a stake, being burned alive. The third, showed him laying on a wooden plank with his body facing up. There was a blade were his head should have been. A man was holding his head up to the crowd, which was cheering. Naruto smashed it in his hand and threw it as hard as he could. Then he walked up to the table and rested his head on it. He couldn't take it any more. He had to do something... he streched his hand and it found something... Naruto picked it up and looked at it. Then he looked at his arm. After about five minutes, Naruto was snoring in his bed...
But the bloody shuriken kept dripping.

Kakashi: Your scary, you know that?!
Me: Yep, I only hear it about ten times a day, maybe 15 if I'm lucky.
Naruto: Now come your making me a wimp?!
Me: Chill. Anyone would do that if there whole town hated them too.
Naruto: Good point...
Sasuke: How come you put the poem in this chapter?
Me: It's going to be on every chapter.
