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...
~*
Me: I know that I don't talk here, I wait intill the end of the story but I wanted to tell you guys the coupling that I have decided to use... first, I got four votes on the couples, Two for NaruSasu and two for NaruHin ( note: I have been spelling Hinata right? I just guessed the spelling... Well I sounded it out...) Sooo I'm going to go with The NaruHin, BUT I'm going to have SasuNaru brother-ish relationship. So yeah... And oneeeee more thing...Hem hem... WHICH ONE OF YOU PEOPLES SAID YOU DON'T LIKE YAOI?!!! YAOI AND SHOEN-AI ROCK!!! I DON'T CARE FOR YUOI AND SHOJO-AI BUT WATCH WHQAT YOU SAY ABOUT THE BOYS!!! I'm done ^_~

" Naruto! What the hell are you doing! What the hell are we done running around the forest!!! And what do you mean ' someone needs us?" Sakura yelled at the blond boy running in front of her. Sasuke and Hinata shrugged their shoulders and followed Naurto. Sakura sighed and followed him as well.
" I think theres someone in the forest that needs help... But I'm not sure who, or what, it is... Sooo, I kinda just following my feelings..." Naruto trailed off as he tried to follow the feelings he was getting... there! Naruto was sure that the feeling was strongest in the northern most path. He took off running. After about ten minutes of running, Naruto stopped at another crossroad in the forest, but this time, he didn't have to feel out the person... They came to him... A VERY little girl was huddled against a tree. Her head was in her arms as she was holding her legs together. But they could two weird red things in her bright red hair pressed against her head and a weird fuzzy belt, red like the weird red things. She was shiffling and a sob was heard every noe and then. One of her legs looked like it was wounded, and bleeding. Sakura gaspped and the girl looked up. She had a tan, round face, the kind that just screams 'emotional' Who you the people who wear their emotions right on their sleeves, and the red things rose from her head. They weren't just things... THEY WERE EARS!!! The belt twitched, A TAIL!!! This girl was a demon! Her crimson eyes looked scared and she started to shuffle away...
" WAIT!" Naruto yelled as he ran up to her. The girl froze and looked like the lightest touch would send her into a coma. " We wont hurt you... Tell me... What is your name?" Naruto asked softly, give her one of his fox grins. She looked taken back for a second and then she answered.
" Kyu... " she said in a low whisper. Naruto smiled and turned his head to the others.
" Yo! Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata! Come over here! You guys know more about tending to wounds better then me." Naruto smiled big. Hinata was the first one to step out to him. Odd are 9 to 10 that she did it to impress Naruto... Sasuke came next, not wanting to look less brave then a girl, and then Sakura followed Sasuke. I don't think I need to tell you why she went... " Guys meet Kyu! I think she hurt her leg. Sakura, can you and Hinata help it?" The girls nodded and started cleaning the wound.
" ... Thank you, but I didn't hurt myself..." Kyu said. The girls looked up from the leg to look at her. " I was running away from men who were trying to kill me they threw a metal thing at me, it was long and sharp. It gazed my leg and I stopped to look at it. The men then threw more... and one really went deep... They had things like yours on... only it wasn't a leaf on it... I think it was a thingy that looked kinda like waves... but I wasn't lookinga t they too well..." They all nodded and the girls wrapped her leg in the bandaids. Sasuke helped Kyu up.
" Soooo... Now what? She can't go all by herself again... Anyone for a roommate?" Naruto asked. Sakura and Hinata hung their heads. They both had parents at home that might not take to having a demon sleeping in the same house as them. So, it was either Naruto or Sasuke.
" I don't think your house is a good place, Naruto, the adults don't another reason to kill you. So I guess it's my place..." Sasuke said. Naruto looked shocked at this, but nodded. Then he pulled Kyu up. She blushed and muttered a thank you.
" Sasuke, isn't your house far on your other side of town? How are we going to get Kyu there?" Hinata asked. Sasuke and the others looked thoughtful.
" How about waiting for night?" Sakura asked. Naruto shot it down.
" There's most likely going to be more people out at night then in the day..."
" Well... What if we asked Kakahi-sensei?" Hinata asked.
" I'm not sure he would like to get in the middle of this..." Sakura said. All of them sighed. Then Kyu spoke up.
" What if they don't know I'm a demon?" They looked at her. Then they had a look that said ' jackpot!'
" That'll work! Do any of use have a hat nad jacket on us?" Sakura asked looking around. Not a single one of either. " How will we do this now?" Kyu tilted her head to the side. Then there was a big poof of smoke from where Kyu was standing. When the smoke cleared, a girl with black hair, blue eyes and tan skin was standing. she was wearing one of those chinese battle outfits, like Sakura's but only she wasn't wearing spandex (evil!) but those sweatpants that go under, it was green with blue flowers on it. And she had the bandana thingy too.
" Wow, you now ninja-jusju ( something like that, don't sue me.)?" Naruto asked.
" No, It's a kitsune illusion. If you were to feel on my head you'd feel something fuzzy. I haven't mastered it, so yeah. If I had mastered it, they wouldn't be able to feel the ears and tail, but the world hates me." Kyu ended.
" Neat, but what if someone knows that your not from the village?" Sasuke asked.
" Well, I don't think that your village as so little kids that everyone knows every kid." Kyu shrugged.
" OK, just don't limp to much. Maybe you should let the bandaids show so they don't think anything of the limping." Sakura said. Kyu nodded and the bandaids showed threw. ( I know that I'm not using the right threw, but live with it ya peoples!)
" Lets go!" They started heading for Sasuke's house.
*~ ~*
Iruka woke to find Kakashi sleeping in a chair next to his bed. He smiled then sat up. Naruto. He had to go see if Naruto was OK. He tried to sneak out of the room. He managed to get out of his room to him the front door, but as soon and he grabbed the doorknob, a hand grabbed his and pulled it back. He as faced with a very awake Kakashi.
" Uh... Hello?" Iruka said in the tone a kid would say if a parent caught him sneaking out.
" And Whereeeee are youuuuu going?" This is starting to sound like a talk between son and father... Oh well, it's going to be... something... I can't say good, because I don't know yet...
" Um... the bathroom?"
" That's over there" Kakashi pointed in the opposite way.
" Oh! I wondered where it went!" Iruka tried to walk around to the bathroom, only to have Kakashi cut him off again.
" Do you mean the bathroom, or the window in the bath that's big enough to slip threw?" Iruka facefaulted. I swear, it's like Kakashi works the C.I.A of something, the way he knows everything!
" Umm... Uh..."
" To your room, and no dinner tonight!" I couldn't help it. It was just too good a line to pass up. That would be something to see, Kakashi standing over Iruka, pointing to a room and having Iruka slump into it, like a father telling his son to go to his room. I wonder... does that really happen? Oh well, on with the story!
" ... Hnff..." Iruka went back to his bed.
" Kids these days. " Kakashi sighed. I did it again, oh well.
*~ ~*
The five kids breathed deeply. They had rushed over to Sasuke's. They didn't run, or it would have looked odd. Just like Kyu said, nobody gave her a second thought. One or two people did look at her like they had no clue, but it was one of those girls that knew ALL the gossip, you know those girls, the ones that put the super into superficial. I hate people like that... Oh well, You don't need to know that...
" God, I thought they were going to stop us or ask for I.D or something..." Hinata sighed as she sat down on the floor. The poof noise was heard and Kyu was back to normal. Hs sighed as well and sat down on the armchair. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura sat on the three person seat thingy, I can't spell it so live with it!
" Well... This is nice... I guess were having a sleepover a Sasuke's tonite, unless anyone of us want to go outside and face the adults..." Naruto sighed. Sasuke nodded then rubbed his temples. Sakura sighed and Hinata nodded.
" Great... This should be fun... I'll go get some food..." Sasuke got up and went to the kitchen.
" Sasuke, can I use your phone? ( do they have phones? Oh well, you know the drill, THEY DO NOW!), I want to call to make sure that Iruka-sensei is fine." Sakura said.
" Fine, it's on the table on the side of the room." Sasuke yelled from the kitchen. Sakura got up. She was about to dial the number when it hit her...
" Um, Naruto... Do you know Iruka-sensei's number? I don't..." Everyone in the house facefaulted.
" Uh, Just let me do it..." Naruto grabbed the phone from her and dialed. Kakashi-sensei answered.
" 'lo."
" That nice Kakashi-senshi, where's Iruka-sensei?" Naruto said with a laugh at Kakashi-sensei's very informal hello.
" He's being punishment for being caught trying to sneak out. He's got a weeks grounding and isn't allowed to come to the phone."
" ... Can you do that?"
" I did it didn't I?"
" yeah, but Iruka-sensei should be able to get out of his own house..."
" yeah, but not when he's wounded."
" ...Good point, so how is he."
" He's fine, just throwing a hissy fit because I wont let him leave... He reminds me of you sometimes..."
" WHATS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN!!!"
" ... Nothing..." Click
" I know you just did not hang up on me!" Naruto dropped the phone and turned around to see that everyone was staring. " Wha?"
" OK, What was that about?" Sakura asked as she raised her eyebrows.
" Ummm.... Kakashi-sensei as grounded Iruka-sensei for a week and he isn't allowed to talk on the phone or leave." Naruto in a tone that sounded like having adult ground another isn't a big deal.
" Uhhh... Is he allowed to do that?" Hinata asked. Naruto shrugged.
" I have some food... lets eat..." So they dug in.
*~ ~*
Kakashi walked back to Iruka's room. Iruka was sitting on his bed, Indian style, pouting. Something that made him look MUCH like Naruto. Kakashi chuckled, which made Iruka look at him.
" What?!" Iruka asked in a demanding tone. Tad bit of Sakura there...
" Heh, the way you were sitting, it reminded me of Naruto... And he called to make sure you were OK, But I told them that you grounded and not allowed to talk on the phone, or leave, for the rest of the week." Kakashi said as he saw Iruka looked happy, then he pouted again.
" Can't believe you grounded me..."
" Heh, now you know to believe everything."
" Shut up!"
" Tut tut, I'd watch it or you might get more time alone in your house... Well, I better get to my own home, chao!" Kakashi said as he left.
" Darn you..." Iruka sighed and layed down, falling asleep.
*~ ~*
The kids were half way threw the movie Sasuke put on when Naruto remembered something...
" Hey Sasuke, I thought you told me you were locked out of your house? How the hell did you open it?" The room went quite.
"..."
"..."
"..."
" Huh?" Kyu asked. She wasn't there, so she didn't have a clue about this.
" Well?! I know, you said that so you could some to my house and spy on me! Isn't it?!" Naruto yelled as he jumpped up.
" Naruto... Kakashi-sensei told me-" Sasuke started but Naruto opened the door.
" DON'T TALK TO ME!!!" With that, Naruto slammed the door shut. Outside the door, Naruto moved his hand across his cheek. The tear fell anyway.
