Souvraya: Here's chapter three.

Disclaimer: There were some men in white coats that took me to a soft, squishy room. There I met this lady who tried to convince me that Naruto-kun doesn't belong to me. Then I got angry and they put this funny shirt on me. Then, when the night came, I used my immense ninja skills and broke free. And now I'm writing about my Naruto! insane laugh

Summary: She's driving him insane. He tries to fight. Slowly he's been drawn back to the village of his childhood. What happens when he is confronted with his old friends? Can they find the true him again behind her corruption? And can they stop him before he manages to do as he wishes the most, and die?

Warning: suicide attempt, borderline personalities, schizophrenia.

So, enjoy…

Explanations:

"blah" talk

blah thought

:blah: Kyuubi talking to Naruto


Can you save me?
Darkness. He could sense her. She was close. Too close.

:Finally you wake up.: He jumped. She seldom spoke to him…

He opened his eyes and looked around.

It was dark, and he laid on something soft and warm. Something furry.

"Where am I?" he croaked out.

:In my cage. It was the safest place.:

Upon registering what she really had said, he closed his eyes, praying to wake up. She laughed, and the warm, soft furriness – her tails – was replaced with something colder, harder.

He opened his eyes again, and the dark brown and red of the cage was replaced with hard, cold white.

He carefully looked around and came to the conclusion he had to be in some kind of room. A hospital?

She laughed again.

"Shut up! There's nothing funny about this. We have to get away." His voice was rasping. She nodded.

Carefully he sat up, and then noticed the IV-needles in his arm. He reached for them when a voice – a familiar voice? – stopped him.

"So you're finally awake? Good. Cause you have a lot to explain."

He looked at the door, ignoring her hisses. He seemed to remember… From the forest. Black hair and black eyes. He smelled cold.

But he seemed to remember from even before that? So familiar… But wrong…

:He's older, you fool. His name is Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke.: Her voice was mocking. He shuddered, mumbling "Be quiet." His head was pulsing painfully.

"What do you mean, 'Be quiet'?" The voice was angry now.

"Her, not you……Sasuke…" His voice was still not good. "She should be quiet. She's never quiet…" He pulled out the IV-needles. She instantly healed the punctures.

"Who 'she'? Who are you talking about?" Now, the voice had become worried. Somehow warmer… He even smelled a bit warmer…

He could sense her snarl. She didn't want anyone to know. It was ridiculous. Everybody knew. Where did that come from? Who was 'everybody'? She was stealing his memories again.

"Her." No pointing, just a word. His throat was starting to hurt.

Sasuke just looked at him.

He got out of bed and walked to the window. Sasuke moved.

"Where do you thing you are going? You're not going anywhere."

"Try to stop me…" He shuddered. It almost sounded like a plea. She snarled.

"Naruto…"

That word again… So familiar, but unknown. Or maybe just not remembered.

Sasuke reached for his arm, and he pulled away.

"Don't touch me… She doesn't like it."

"Who is she?" This time he snarled too. Sasuke glared.

He was letting her gain space again, letting her push against and almost through the bars of her cage. Letting her gain control.

"Don't ask questions to which you already should know the answer." he growled. Where did that come from?

:From your memories, you fool.:

"Stop talking. I don't want to hear what you have to say!" he almost shouted. Sasuke got an almost hurt look on his face. And for some reason, that bothered him. He mumbled "Not you, Sasuke. Her."

"You know, dobe, I would feel a lot better if you would tell me who 'she' is."

Dobe? Why did that sound so… right?

:Because he's always called you 'dobe'. Now, leave. We have nothing here to do.:

"She wants us to leave. I think she's got a point."

And he pushed open the window and started to climb out.

"Wait! Why did you try to kill yourself?"

He didn't know what Sasuke was talking about. She laughed.

Then, without a reason, he said "Can you save me? She eats my memories."

A/N: Finally. Right? Cause it is a "finally". Never thought it would be wrote. Then I managed to write it, and thought I'd never manage to post it, since is such a bitch atm. But here it is. All done, and hopefully good. R&R, either here or at my LJ.

Reviewer's corner:

lotus re-incarnate: heh. Yeah, my thought exactly. That's why she did it too, I guess. I think I would be bitter too, if I was trapped in a mortal body while I myself was immortal. and I'm glad you like my story. It's the reason I write. To get comments like that. So thank you!

kei: there is a possibility it'll end up sasunaru. Knowing me, it probably will. Almost definitely. But it'll take some time… and I'm sorry about the shortness of this, but I just don't seem able to write the chapters longer. Will try to do something about the length tho. Glad you like.

hotaruchan27: takes cookie thanks! and again, I know the chaps are short, and I will try to do something about this. So we'll see…
