Souvraya: Here's chapter four.

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...

Can you save me?

Sasuke just stared at him. The expression was worried, and so was the smell. Not even slightly cold any longer...

It confused him. And now he had problems focusing too. She was angry. Very angry. She didn't even in the least like what he had said, but he couldn't help it. It hadn't been voluntarily. He hadn't meant to ask for help. He hadn't wanted to.

He shuddered and lifted his hands to his temples, rubbing carefully, trying to make her calm down. It wasn't easy. It never was.

Then he started out the window again.

Sasuke grabbed him. "You can't go. I'm sorry, b... No, I'm not sorry. You can't go."

He snarled at Sasuke. "Why do you always have to be such a pain?" Always? I don't remember... How long...?

What's so good about him? I don't get it...Naruto thought angrily to himself. Then he jumped up on the desk and crouched down in front of the major heartthrob Uchiha Sasuke.

He stared him angrily in the eyes, meeting the Uchiha's annoyed obsidian eyes.

"HEY NARUTO! GET OUT OF SASUKE-KUN'S FACE!" Sakura-chan was yelling at him.

Then an arm pushed him forward, and...

He shook his head, trying to push her thoughts and feelings away from his mind. An impossible accomplishment, he knew.

He was not quite sure whether it was his own memories, or if it was something she put in his head.

"Are you ok?" Sasuke did really sound worried. And that was somehow wrong... He couldn't even begin to understand why, it just was.

Her laugh this time was sharp. Urgent. :Get us out.:

"I must go. She's getting impatient."

"Tell me who she is." Demanding voice. He didn't understand it. And he didn't understand why he didn't understand it. He felt like he should understand. And her laughter made it even plainer that this was something he should understand. Understand it deep in his bones.

:You should understand, chibi, because you've known him since you were twelve, and you've always understood before. Or at least almost always...: And she laughed again. He didn't like her laughter. He'd never liked her laughter. It almost always meant something bad or inconvenient would happen.

"You know who she is. Everybody knows who she is...Sasuke..." The name still felt strange on his tongue even though he was sure he'd known the name for a long time.

"...to kill my best friend..."

It was said by the same voice, but lighter. :He was only twelve, almost thirteen, when he said that.:

"...and you've become my best friend. So therefore I have to kill you."

"You tried to kill me...?" He wasn't sure... Didn't know whether it was his memory. She always took his memories, and then fed them back to him at the strangest of times. And the only thing he knew about it was that she always had a purpose with what she did.

"We settled that many years ago, Naruto. Why are you pulling that out now?"

"...Naruto...? What is that word...?

Sasuke stared at him, shock written it those obsidian eyes. "Naruto... Are you trying to fool me or something?"

"Fool you... Why would I fool you? She fools creatures, I don't."

"You are Naruto, dobe."

"Naruto... is my name? But... but I don't have a name. She just only ever calls me chibi."

"Who is she?"

"You know."

Again he tried to get out the window.

Again Sasuke stopped him with a strong grip on his shoulder.

"You can't go."

"We have to."

"Who we... No, don't say. You and the 'she' I should know who is, but don't. You tell me why you tried to kill yourself, and I'll let you leave the hospital. After I've spoken to Godaime Hokage-sama."

"Please let go of my arm. You're making her angry, and even I am wary around her when she's angry. And I know she can't harm me. If she does, she harms herself too."

"She... You're talking about the Kyuubi, aren't you?"

"That is her name, yes." He nodded. Then, without knowing why, he said, almost laughing "Took you some time, Sasuke-teme..." He even stuck his tongue out at Sasuke.

She hissed angrily and struggled to free herself yet again. :GO! NOW:

He shook his head to clear it and climbed onto the windowsill.

"I can't remember that I tried to kill myself, Sasuke. Now we must go."

And before Sasuke could react, he jumped down on the roof three floors further down.

Less than five minutes later, he reached the forest surrounding the village.

A/N: Better late than never, right? I've been away this summer. To Iceland. And besides, my inspiration's been equal to zero. But I think my production's gonna go up a bit now. School starts Monday 23rd, so then I will have plenty time at school to write. And chapter 15 of "Why Won't You Love Me" is soon finished. And I guess so is chapter 3 of "One of those days" too. So please don't kill me just yet... bows
