Chapter 3 I know you feel alone....
(Next chapter... I think this one will be a tad angsty. Dunno. Sasuke X
Naruto, shonen-ai. Dedicated to all my friends. Love you all! And thanks
for the inspiration!
Also in this chapter the fox has just taken over Naruto's mind, he still
looks the same basically, except for claws ect. And anything he says, only
the fox can hear, but the fox can talk to both of them, yadda yadda
yadda..)
"Spoken words"
'Thoughts'
/Fox speaking/
I know you feel alone
/Will you make them suffer for your pain?/ Naruto paused for a second. "Yes." With this last word, the seal on the demon fox began to peal away....and the fox began to take over Naruto's body, and his mind.
Naruto screamed in agony. The pain was so intense, like his very soul being ripped away. "AAAAUUUGGHH!" He writhed and clawed at his shoulders trying to regain control, everything seemed to be changing. The fox took over his very thoughts. 'Its possessing me!' Naruto thought, terror streaming through his veins, through his blood and mind. "Damn!!" Naruto let out another yelp as the fox took full control.
The fox snarled in utter joy as it looked around through Naruto's eyes. /Kyahahahaha! You feel my power human? We can make them pay for what they did to you. To us!/ Naruto watched from inside himself as the fox used his body to run down the path towards the city.
A lone figure appeared on the path in front of them, and appeared to be lightly walking in their direction. 'Oh no...if the fox sees them, they're done for!' Naruto thought helplessly. He looked away, refusing to watch the slaughter that was about to occur.
"Yo, Naruto!" A voice called out. It was Sasuke. 'What....damn!' Naruto cursed as he turned to see Sasuke talking towards him, hands shoved in pockets. He seemed annoyed. /Isn't this one of your enemies?/ The fox asked mischeviously. Naruto nearly choked. "No....he isn't..he..er.." The fox laughed.
'Whats the deal with Naruto?' Sasuke wondered as he wandered closer to the disoriented looking boy. 'He seems different. His aura has changed. And what the deal whith his laugh? It sounds almost demonic...' Sasuke stopped a couple feet from Naruto and looked at him curiously, a stoic expression on his face. "Hey do-, er, Naruto, I just wanted to say Im sorry for calling you a blockhead and all..." Sasuke looked away, blushing slightly.
Inside himself Naruto cried out for Sasuke as he watched his friend apologize. "Sasuke! Sasuke run! You gotta get away! I know you're sorry now go!" Naruto's eyes became moist but he refused to get all teary eyed and weak. He still had to find a way to contain the fox so that he could take back control of his body.
The fox began to speak slowly, as if teasing Naruto. /Hey Sasuke.../ The fox said, mimicking Naruto's voice. /You're such a jerk. I can't stand you, I hate you!/ The fox continued to mimick Naruto. "It's not true Sasuke! It's not!" Naruto shouted feebly. 'Damn..he can't hear me!'
Sasuke looked like he had gotten a kunai right in the stomach. He looked sick, angry and hurt. "Listen Naruto, I know I went to far this time. I know I can be a jerk its just that.. I dunno.." Sasuke paused. "I know how the villagers treated you. I have empathy for your pain. I've been through it too, and I know you feel alone. I guess I just never gave it much thought before. That there was someone else out there that was like me in so many ways. The only difference is that I am respected as the last Uchiha, and you, you're just 'the fox child'. I know it must hurt." Sasuke's eyes blurred with his words. He didn't know what else to say. "Do you understand Naruto? Im sorry."
The fox gave Naruto a second to let this all sink in before he retalliated. /Uchiha, think you're so great. Think you're the best ninja in the village just because you know a little more than the rest of us. Oh yes everyone says you're the "The last of the Uchiha, the greatest hope for our village", but do you know what it truely means to be shinobi?/
"Stop it you damned fox or I swear!" The fox laughed inwardly at him and Naruto could hear it ring maliciously through his head. /You swear what? To destroy the villiage and get your revenge like you've wanted to so many times?/ "No!!" Naruto screamed. /I watch you in your dreams sometimes. As you slaughter them all. One by one the villagers fall, whether they fight or not you kill them all!/ Naruto writhed in the agony he was in. The fox was sending pieces of burning chakra into his mind and body. Slowly working its way through his body. "AAAHHH!!!" Naruto yelled.
"Hell yes I know what it means to be shinobi!!" Sasuke became angry as he disguised the hurt in his voice. "It means having to sacrifice everything in the moment of battle! Putting your life on the line to protect things you love! You should understand Naruto! You've seen it!" Sasuke stopped as his breath came in harsh pants.
"Sasuke....I do undertand. You risked your life to protect me from Haku. I.....would do the same for you. If only I wasn't so weak!" Naruto clutched his head with his hands as he cried out. /Kyahaha! Time to make you pay Uchiha!/ The fox snarled and bared Naruto's fangs as he leapt at Sasuke.
"Damn!" Sasuke cursed as he dodged the fox's claws that were in actuallity Naruto's extended fingernails. "Naruto...what the hell is wrong with you!?" Naruto turned away inside himself. He couldn't bare to see this. "Naruto!" Sasuke yelped as the fox pinned him to the ground, digging Naruto's 'claws' into Sasuke's chest. "AAUUGGHH!!!" Sasuke clutched at his chest as he coughed up blood.
"Na..ru..to.." Sasuke pleaded. "Why....are you doing this to...me?! What's wrong?" Sasuke shouted. Naruto felt a terrible pain in his chest. Like his heart was breaking. He should be happy, right? His one enemy was being destroyed. His rival, his competition....his, friend. "Stop it now!" Naruto yelled forcefully. He could feel his chakra swirling inside himself. 'I just need to seal him temporarily!" Naruto now was set the difficult task of figuring out how, before the fox killed Sasuke.
Sasuke managed to distract his mind from the pain in his chest as he tried desperately to undertand what was happening. 'There's something wrong with Naruto. He isn't himself...its almost as if he has transformed into some kind of..' Sasuke paused. 'Monster? Thats it! The fox!" Sasuke was abruptly taken from his thoughts as claws were dug deeper into his chest, then retracted. "What the-" Claws slashed across Sasuke's cheek, making it bleed profusely.
Sasuek cried out in pain. Naruto couldnt believe he was seeing this. Sasuke of all people....."Sasuke! Run!" Naruto said. The fox continued his ravage of Sasuke's body. Ripping his flesh wherever possible. Finally, Sasuke blacked out and was unable to move.
/We showed him didn't we!?/ The fox chuckled gleefully. Naruto looked at Sasuke's limp body on the path, covered in dust and blood. "Look....look what you did...to my...friend!" Naruto broke into uncontrollable sobs. /Pitiful humans.../ The fox allowed Naruto to regain control over his own body momentarily and Naruto fell to his knees beside Sasuke's body.
/Feh../ The fox's voice was now less prominent. Naruto gently leaned over Sasuke's body and clutched him in a deep hug. "Sasuke!" Naruto's tears splayed onto Sasuke's face. Naruto's whole body shook with the agony of his loss. "I will never forgive you for this!" Naruto mumbled menacingly under his breath.
Sasuke opened his eyes momentarily, seeing that his face was pressed against orange fabric he tried to pull away but had no strenght to do so. "Naruto.." He whispered. He could hear Naruto mumbling something about forgiving but that was about it. Gathering strength, Sasuek pulled away from Naruto, and caught a glimpse of Naruto's suprised and grateful face. "Sasuke you're ali-" Naruto's hopeful sentance was cut short as the fox regained control. /Now, we make the other's pay. Naruto got one last look before the fox leaped over Sasuke and headed down the path towards the village once more. Naruto let out one breath.
"Sasuke...!" Sasuke watched as 'Naruto' who was now the fox once more, bound away. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was it the fox or Naruto.....or both? "Naruto..." Sasuke whispered as he was claimed by unconscienceness.
