===========================================
*Inside Naruto's hospital room*
The room was pitch black. The only sounds that could be heard were those of machines. One that monitored Naruto's heart beats, and the other provided him with oxygen. Naruto looked lifeless, covered in bandages from head to toe. His skin was very pale, as on his forehead he still had a little blood. His mouth and nose were covered by an oxygen mask to help him breath.
Through the darkness of the room, another figure could be seen. This figure sat in a chair, very close to Naruto's bed. It was Sakura, as a few tears fell on her cheeks as she continuously stared at the boy.
Sasuke and Kakashi stood in the door frame as they checked from a distance into the room. Sasuke looked up at his teacher, as this one showed that he was worried as well.
As Kakashi turned around, the doctor that took care of Naruto's wound wanted to talk to Kakashi.
"Sasuke, why don't you join Sakura?" Kakashi requested from his student
"humph... sure ..." Sasuke murmured as he noticed Kakashi wanted to speak alone with the doctor
Sasuke walked inside Naruto's room as he carefully shut the door behind him. He placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder to let her know of his presence.
============================================================================ ==========
*Outside Naruto's Room*
The doctor brought Kakashi in the next room so they could talk more easily. Kakashi simply stood there as he waited for the doctor's report.
"How is he?" Kakashi asked directly
"He's in critical condition. It's surprising that he isn't dead right now." The doctor started to explain
"He usually heals up..." Kakashi murmured
"Because of the demon inside him right?" The doctor continued
Kakashi suddenly stared at the doctor with an angry look.
"I didn't mean it in the wrong way Kakashi-san. But I may know why Kyubi's chakra isn't healing him properly right now." The doctor explained as took an envelope and showed a picture to Kakashi
The picture was of Naruto's belly right after they cleaned up the blood and stitched up his wound. The picture was mostly focused on the seal of Naruto's belly.
"This is Kyubi's seal, why take a picture of it?" Kakashi asked a bit confused
"You see, one of his, almost, lethal wound, it struck directly the seal. I believe that maybe the seal sustained a certain amount of damage, and it needs to repair itself before it can heal Naruto's wounds." The doctor informed Kakashi
"I see ... I would appreciate it if you kept quite about this matter." Kakashi demanded
"You don't need to worry, unlike most people in this Village, I admire the boy for his courage. If his condition changes in any way I'll make sure to let you know." The doctor stated as he left the room to see other patients
Kakashi stood there as he stared once again at the picture, no notice indeed the spiral of the seal had been cut very deeply. As he brings the picture with him he sets out to get Sakura and Sasuke.
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Room*
Sakura held Naruto's hand in her own, as Sasuke simply stared at the blond as he tried not to show his true emotions. The fact that he was worried a lot.
Kakashi opened the door as both his students turned around to face him. Kakashi walked in next to his students as he took a quick look at Naruto.
"Naruto needs his rest now, we can come back tomorrow morning." Kakashi informed his students as he placed a hand on their shoulders
"I promise to be back tomorrow Naruto ..." Sakura whispered as she placed his hand back on his stomach as she stood up and walked towards the door
"You better get better soon dobe ..." Sasuke mumbled as all three left Naruto's room
Sakura and Sasuke left the room first as Kakashi looked back once more. " Get better Naruto " Kakashi murmured as he closed the door silently behind him.
============================================================================ ==========
*Kakashi's apartment*
Kakashi opened the door to his apartment as he was followed by his two students. As Sakura and Sasuke walked in, they looked around to see it was pretty normal.
Sasuke leaned against the kitchen wall as Sakura sat on a chair. Kakashi also leaned against a wall, on the opposite side of Sasuke.
"Since we were at the Hospital, we couldn't discuss what happened." Kakashi started to talk when Sasuke continued instead
"Sakura, just tell us what happened" Sasuke said as he crossed his arms
"H...hai," Sakura replied as she started to explain everything
Sakura started to explain how she was first kidnapped and then she remembered Naruto wounded who tried to protect her as she continued her story...
============================================================================ ==========
* FLASHBACK * - The rest of the Battle between Naruto and the 3 Ninjas*
Sakura carefully moved from under Naruto as she pulled back with the help of her hands. When she was in a sitting position, Naruto's head rested against her legs, as the rest of his body was face down on the ground. She started to tremble when she noticed the two kunais plunged into his back.
Naruto had a hard time to breath, as he laid in a pool of his own blood. Sakura was shocked and didn't know quite what to do. She conquered her fears as she slowly removed the two kunais in Naruto's back, as more blood came out.
Sakura tore a part of her dress to cover his wounds on his back. She helped Naruto turn, as he then laid on his back and opened his eyes to meet those of Sakura.
The first thing he saw was her trying to hold back her tears as she placed her hands on Naruto's cheeks.
"Why Naruto?" Sakura managed to ask through her tears
"Because you never treated me like all the others..." Naruto replied as he coughed up some blood
Through those words, Sakura looked into his deep blue eyes as tears fell on Naruto's forehead.
"No matter what happens I won't let them approach you ..." Naruto said his last words with a little smile
Naruto's eyes closed slowly as his head leaned to the right on Sakura's lap.
"Na ...Naruto ...?" Sakura spoke as she shook Naruto's head a little
Naruto laid there, without any movement nor response to Sakura's cries.
Sakura grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him a little while she whispered his name. No matter how hard she called out his name and shook him, Naruto laid there, as if he was dead.
Sakura started to cry, when the three Ninjas, Tonai, Tenshi, and Toshin, regrouped and stood about 10 meters away from Sakura and Naruto.
Sakura grabbed the kunai that laid on the ground into her hands as she pointed it towards the Ninjas.
"Stay away from us!" Sakura yelled out still in tears
"A lower genin like yourself can't possibly win against us." Tonai stated as his teammates continued for him
"Now that you know our identity, we can't let you leave alive" Toshin continued as he licked his katana
"It would have been much easier if that brat hadn't been so stupid and thought he could possibly defeat us in the first place. As if he could save anyone ..." Tenshi ended as his hand covered the wound inflicted by Naruto earlier
Sakura knew deep down that she couldn't possibly make a difference, as she took a glimpse at Naruto and then glared at the three ninjas.
"Onegai... Protect at least her ..." Naruto gulped as he coughed some more blood
Sakura heard Naruto as her attention immediately turned towards him, which was a fatal mistake. The three Ninjas took her distraction to their advantage, as they charged forward.
Tenshi threw a few of his stringed attached kunais, as Toshin charged forward with his katana in hand. As for Tonai, he simply threw a few shurikens. It was all enough to kill the female anyway.
"This is the end ..." Sakura thought as she simply duck and covered Naruto not looking towards the attack
Suddenly, the kunais and shurikens were somehow reflected as the Ninjas were forced back to their original position.
"What the !??" Toshin cursed as he landed on his feet
As Sakura heard the Ninjas voice and that she wasn't dead yet, she slowly lifted her head to look in front of her.
"A barrier !?" Sakura told herself as her eyes widened
Around her and Naruto was a thin red barrier that protected them. Red chakra surrounded them and leaked out from Naruto's body. The Ninjas were somewhat shocked, as their expression showed clearly.
"The kid is almost dead and he can still pull this!?" Tenshi spoke to his team-mates
"With his wounds, he won't be able to hold long simply attack until the barrier weakens." Tonai ordered his men
Toshin was the first to jump in the air and attack from above, as he held his katana down to stab. The red chakra appeared once again, visible to all, as Toshin was suspended in the air.
Sakura stared at Toshin while she was still covering Naruto. As she was about to speak, she was stunned by something right in front of her eyes.
A great amount of red chakra started to gather above her as it took form. Sakura slowly lifted her head up more to see above her when a paw landed in front of her eyes.
Toshin looked stunned by the chakra who suddenly took form, the form of a fox, a red and angry fox.
"That's the true form of Kyubi ..." Tonai murmured as Tenshi overheard
The fox had used his own chakra to take a form right above Sakura and Naruto. His eyes as red as blood then gave an angry look at Toshin that was still suspended by the barrier Kyubi had put up.
Kyubi grinned as he swung his 9 tails at the Ninja with full force. The impact wasn't as powerful since he was only in chakra form and not in a real one.
Toshin flew from the barrier and into multiple trees until he came to a stop. Tonai and Tenshi were shocked by the sudden appearance of Kyubi as for their fallen comrade.
Kyubi then tried to tear Tenshi apart with his right paw, but both Ninjas backed away in time to evade the blow.
"We never expected this ..." Tenshi pointed out as he grabbed his unconscious comrade
Tenshi placed an arm of Toshin behind his neck as his other hand grabbed his fallen friend to make sure he wouldn't slip. Tonai helped as well doing the same in the opposite side.
Kyubi sat down, as he curved his 9 tails around Sakura and Naruto and looked at the three Ninjas with an intense intent to kill if they wouldn't leave.
"Such an intent to kill ..." Tenshi commented as he was shocked
"This wasn't at all what we plan ... Retreat for now." Tonai ordered
The three Ninjas quickly disappeared, as Sakura was shocked by the red chakra surrounding herself and Naruto.
"What's going on ...??" Sakura gulped as she feared the fox
"This was his only wish ..." Kyubi whispered as the red chakra started to vanish
Kyubi's form disappeared as well as the barrier, Sakura was still under shock from all that was happening. Some noises then caught her attention and without thinking twice, she threw a kunai behind her.
When she looked behind, she noticed Kakashi accompanied by Sasuke of course. The Jounin had caught her kunai as all attention were turned to the seemingly dead looking Naruto.
Sasuke stared at Naruto, seeing his rival covered in blood, as Kakashi did a quick check up to see the damages. Kakashi picked up Naruto in his arms, as he rushed to the hospital.
Sasuke helped Sakura, since she seemed frozen. Team 7 left the woods, as Sasuke took one look back at the scene, which was mostly covered in blood, Naruto's blood ...
============================================================================ ==========
*Kakashi's Kitchen*
Sakura finished explaining what happened as Kakashi had a worried look on his face. Sakura closed her fists as she looked at the floor. Sasuke was lost in his thoughts, over what Sakura had told them.
"You say a fox appeared?" Sasuke asked to be sure
"I think that's what it was ..." Sakura replied with a low tone of voice
"Because o the seal being damaged Kyubi was able to act on his own ... But why didn't he try to escape?" Kakashi kept thinking as he rubbed his chin
"Well when he fought Gaara he did make an illusion of a fox, so I assume even if that baka was unconscious he managed to do something for his own sake and yours" Sasuke mentioned as he uncrossed his arms
"You're probably right Sasuke-kun ..." Sakura agreed
"Sakura I have one last question, you wouldn't happen to know who those Ninjas were by any chance?" Kakashi asked his student
"Gomen ... I really don't know" Sakura answered
"We'll discuss it more tomorrow morning. You should all get some rest." Kakashi stated as he walked towards a closet
"I'm guessing you want us to stay and sleep here right?" Sasuke asked his teacher
"It's better, we wouldn't want any more casualties now would we?" Kakashi stated as threw blankets to his students
Sasuke grabbed hold of his, as Sakura had a hard time catching her own.
"There's two spare bedrooms to your left. I'd advise you to get some sleep. If you get worn out you'll be of no help to anyone, not even him." Kakashi commented as he went to get some sleep in his room
Sasuke and Sakura headed for their rooms as well. Sakura still felt guilty and responsible over what happened to Naruto and Sasuke noticed.
"Sakura, don't blame yourself ..." Sasuke spoke as he entered his room and closed the door behind him
After a few minutes, Sakura entered her room as well " Arigatou Sasuke-kun ..." She murmured to herself and closed the door behind her.
============================================================================ ==========
*Sasuke's Room*
Sasuke placed the blanket on top of the bed as he walked towards the window. He leaned against it as his fingers gently touched the window. Sasuke dropped his cold expression as a single tear fell from his eye.
"I should have been there ... Naruto ..." Sasuke murmured to himself as he looked up to the moon
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Hospital Room*
His room was still dark, the only lights that slightly illuminated the room were those of the two machines. Naruto laid on his bed, still wounded, as his hand moved a little from time to time.
Slowly, red chakra started to cover the blond's body. A thin layer that looked like red mist. The muscles in Naruto's face started to move a bit as he kept whispering one word.
"Kyubi ..." Naruto repeated with such a low tone
============================================================================ ==========
*Inside Naruto*
Naruto laid on the ground, next to Kyubi's cage. He slowly opened his eyes to look around him. He slightly moved his hands as he felt something warm beneath him.
Naruto moved his hands in front of him where he could see what this sensation was.
"Blood..." Naruto mumbled as he turned to his right side and tried to stand up
He only managed to sit up as he felt constant pain all over his body and mainly his stomach. He looked in front of him to notice he was only a meter away from Kyubi's cage.
As he looked closer, his eyes met those of Kyubi's as Naruto's eyes widened from the sight.
"Brat ... You look like shit" Kyubi stated as he grinned
Naruto looked at Kyubi a few minutes to notice the fox didn't seem as angry like other times. He then noticed that the fox sat down as he leaned against the bars of his cage. He then noticed the wound on Kyubi's paw.
"You don't look so good yourself ..." Naruto replied with a smile
The fox simply smiled at Naruto crawled himself to lean as well against the bars. His right hand pressed against his stomach as his left laid on the floor. His head rested against the bars as he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep once more.
Kyubi looked at the blond who rested right next to him. As he stared at the blond, he lies down as he managed to get one of his tails through the bars. With that tail, he covered Naruto's body as the fox licked his wounded paw.
"For a brat though, I never get bored with him..." Kyubi thought as he tended to his own wound
============================================================================ ==========
*Outside Naruto's Room*
A nurse had checked up on Naruto's condition as she walked out, she bumped into another doctor. The doctor peeked inside the room and noticed who it was and talked to the nurse about, while she left the door to his room opened.
"What is that demon doing in this hospital!" The doctor demanded the answer
"He came in last night heavily injured." The nurse answered
"This is a hospital for people not demons like him!" The doctor shouted to the nurse
"Don't you think I agree with you doctor! The current doctor for that thing in there basically threatened me to go and take care of it." The nurse replied while she raised her voice
"Doesn't he know the difference between a human and a demon?" The doctor stated
"If it was up to me I would of left that thing to die the moment he set foot in here." The nurse commented
Both the doctor and the nurse went back to work, but unaware that they had left the door to Naruto's room opened.
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Room*
A loud silence came into his room. The nurse and doctor hadn't noticed he was awake and heard everything form the beginning. He laid there awake but with eyes closed.
After they had left to pursue their duties, Naruto slowly opened his eyes. As he thought of all the names they called him.
"I should've of die huh?" Naruto murmured to himself as a tear fell on his cheek
TBC

Sakura started to cry, when the three Ninjas, Tonai, Tenshi, and Toshin, regrouped and stood about 10 meters away from Sakura and Naruto.
Sakura grabbed the kunai that laid on the ground into her hands as she pointed it towards the Ninjas.
"Stay away from us!" Sakura yelled out still in tears
"A lower genin like yourself can't possibly win against us." Tonai stated as his teammates continued for him
"Now that you know our identity, we can't let you leave alive" Toshin continued as he licked his katana

Around her and Naruto was a thin red barrier that protected them. Red chakra surrounded them and leaked out from Naruto's body. The Ninjas were somewhat shocked, as their expression showed clearly.

A great amount of red chakra started to gather above her as it took form. Sakura slowly lifted her head up more to see above her when a paw landed in front of her eyes.
Toshin looked stunned by the chakra who suddenly took form, the form of a fox, a red and angry fox.
"That's the true form of Kyubi ..." Tonai murmured as Tenshi overheard
The fox had used his own chakra to take a form right above Sakura and Naruto. His eyes as red as blood then gave an angry look at Toshin that was still suspended by the barrier Kyubi had put up.
Kyubi grinned as he swung his 9 tails at the Ninja with full force. The impact wasn't as powerful since he was only in chakra form and not in a real one.
Toshin flew from the barrier and into multiple trees until he came to a stop. Tonai and Tenshi were shocked by the sudden appearance of Kyubi as for their fallen comrade.

Naruto laid on the ground, next to Kyubi's cage. He slowly opened his eyes to look around him. He slightly moved his hands as he felt something warm beneath him.
Naruto moved his hands in front of him where he could see what this sensation was.
"Blood..." Naruto mumbled as he turned to his right side and tried to stand up
He only managed to sit up as he felt constant pain all over his body and mainly his stomach. He looked in front of him to notice he was only a meter away from Kyubi's cage.
As he looked closer, his eyes met those of Kyubi's as Naruto's eyes widened from the sight.
"Brat ... You look like shit" Kyubi stated as he grinned
Naruto looked at Kyubi a few minutes to notice the fox didn't seem as angry like other times. He then noticed that the fox sat down as he leaned against the bars of his cage. He then noticed the wound on Kyubi's paw.
"You don't look so good yourself ..." Naruto replied with a smile
The fox simply smiled at Naruto crawled himself to lean as well against the bars. His right hand pressed against his stomach as his left laid on the floor. His head rested against the bars as he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep once more.
Kyubi looked at the blond who rested right next to him. As he stared at the blond, he lies down as he managed to get one of his tails through the bars. With that tail, he covered Naruto's body as the fox licked his wounded paw.
"For a brat though, I never get bored with him..." Kyubi thought as he tended to his own wound

*Outside Naruto's Room*
A nurse had checked up on Naruto's condition as she walked out, she bumped into another doctor. The doctor peeked inside the room and noticed who it was and talked to the nurse about, while she left the door to his room opened.
"What is that demon doing in this hospital!" The doctor demanded the answer
"He came in last night heavily injured." The nurse answered
"This is a hospital for people not demons like him!" The doctor shouted to the nurse
"Don't you think I agree with you doctor! The current doctor for that thing in there basically threatened me to go and take care of it." The nurse replied while she raised her voice
"Doesn't he know the difference between a human and a demon?" The doctor stated
"If it was up to me I would of left that thing to die the moment he set foot in here." The nurse commented
Both the doctor and the nurse went back to work, but unaware that they had left the door to Naruto's room opened.
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Room*
A loud silence came into his room. The nurse and doctor hadn't noticed he was awake and heard everything form the beginning. He laid there awake but with eyes closed.
After they had left to pursue their duties, Naruto slowly opened his eyes. As he thought of all the names they called him.
"I should've of die huh?" Naruto murmured to himself as a tear fell on his cheek
TBC

At last, the second chapter is done! Sorry about the waiting time but with school and work I barely get time to even sleep!!!
Anyway right now I'm working on Unexpected Behaviours chapter 8, Return to me chapter 3 and to the dark side chapter 7. hopefully I'll have all of them out by sunday evening.
Mila1 : I know that usually when he goes Kyubi mode he heals, but I needed an excuse for him to stay wounded and for Sasuke to start worrying. In this chapter I explained the reason why Kyubi wasn't able to heal Naruto in the first place.
GWFascination : Sorry for not updating sooner but I'll try my best to update asap
Caer : It's nice to know you appreciate the action I didn't want to describe too much but not enough either, at first I thought my action kinda sucked but thanks to you I feel lots better
Simply Rin : In my head it all plays like a movie, but it's hard indeed to type it all down for readers to actually visualize it.
Watermelon Gal : Indeed this will be a Sasuke x Naruto fan fic, but I still have to develop the story for it to get better like my Unexpected Behaviours but I promise a little something in Chapter 3
For the rest I highly thank you for reviewing my story, it's actually what keep me writing these fics, although my yaoi seems to take more reviews then those non yaois lol. Oh well as long as you'll update I'll continue writing!!!!
Next Chapter : Disappeared ...
Keep up the reviews and have a nice day!!!!
