"Sasuke…" He whispered, "That's not Naruto." Sasuke looked around to see Kakashi looking at him seriously. "It's the fox. He still has control." Sasuke grew angry. "What?" He said, glaring angrily at the fox. "You'll pay for that." He growled at the fox, who was now laughing. Sasuke lunged forward, kunai in hand, ready to destroy anything that stood in the way of himself and Naruto.

Sasuke's kunai had never seen so much flesh. He tore into arms, legs, torso, anything he could reach. "Damn you damn you damn you!" Sasuke cursed, tears brimming on the edge of his eye lids. "I swear...if you do anything to him..." Sasuke spat, clipping he fox on the side of the face. /You're the only one doing damage here...Uchiha./ Sasuke stopped, looking at all the rips in the fabric of Naruto's clothing. The cuts were not healing like they used too. Blood oozed out of every injury, soaking the orange jacket that was now in shreds. "Oh kami..."

Sasuke's eyes grew wide. "W-Why..why aren't you healing?" Sasuke shook. /Why indeed.../ Even the kyuubi seemed confused by the sight of oozing blood. The fox snarled. /What do you think you're doing boy/ Naruto let out what sounded like a laugh. "Im not going to let you destroy everything I've worked so hard to gain. Friends...trust...acceptance. If you destroy it I'll have nothing to live for again!" Naruto spat. It pained him to do this. "Naruto!" Sasuke called out. Naruto flinched as the fox laughed. /Silence Uchiha, I'm having a discussion with your friend...too bad you cant hear what he's saying./ The kyuubi's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Shut up! I've had enough of you." Naruto snarled. "I have enough control over my own body and you to know how to limit your power! If I let you continue, you'll kill everyone...but if I...if I stop you now, they can live!" Defiance lurked in those words.

/Kyahahaha. I can't believe this! You honestly think you can stop me/ The kyuubi mocked. "I can damn well try. If I can limit your power long enough, you'll bleed to death." Naruto's voice sounded exhasperatted. /You'll die as well you know./

"If thats what it takes..."

There was silence. Kakashi and Sasuke stood watching as the kyuubi and Naruto fought silently. /Oh this is interesting. Listen up Uchiha. According to the dobe, you have to kill me to save the villiage and everything he cares about. Thing is.../The fox laughed. /...you'll murder him as well./ Kakashi growled and looked over to Sasuke. The dark haired boy was shaking, whether from rage, frustration, or just plain hatred, Kakashi didn't know. "What'll I..." Sasuke's voice chocked in his throat. "What'll I do Kakashi-sensei? I--I can't just kill him. It's Naruto! He's our team mate! Our...friend." Kakashi moved his eyes to the ground in silent shame. There was only one option. Sasuke had to kill the kyuubi. He had to save the villiage, at all costs. Right?

Sasuke tensed his muscles, gripped his kunai more firmly. "Let me speak to him...just for a moment." Obsidian eyes seared into red ones. Suprisingly, the kyuubi obliged, releasing Naruto just enough so he could speak. Sasuke nearly cried at the sight of those blue eyes again. "Sasuke! You have to do it!" Naruto choked back tears, willing himself to get the message agross. To say goodbye. "You have to kill me. Its the only way! DO IT!"

Tears streaked down his cheeks. "But Naruto...I can't! You're my friend!" Sasuke was having trouble holding back his own tears. "Goodbye Sasuke...thanks for looking at me when no one else would." Naruto's blue eyes faded. "Wait! Dont go yet!" Sasuke called out. /How touching; Sorry but I've had enough of this. If you plan to kill me, get on with it already./ The fox sneered, red eyes ablaze again, as if daring him to try.

The Uchiha crouched, preparing for attack, cheeks wet what he would later call sweat. Poised for stricking, while the fox simply stood there eyeing him lazily. The fight for the end began. Both figures twisting around each other, scratching, slicing, clawing. "I'll make you suffer for making me do this." Sasuke spat. Sasuke's kunai connected with the kyuubi's throat, slicing through the artery. It bled, but not nearly enough to make this fight end quick. Sasuke tenses, preparing for another attack.

"Hold it right there!" All three looked up to see the third hokage standing in the street, Sakura by his side. "Hokage-sama!" Kakashi stood beside the unconscious Iruka. Sasuke looked up briefly, he could not afford to loose focus. "Sasuke-kun! Are you alright?" Sakura flung herself to his side. "I brought Hokage-sama to help." The Third stepped forward towards Iruka and Kakashi. "Wake him up. We'll need his help." Kakashi looked perplexed but did as was told. A moan from Iruka was heard as he awoke none to easily.

"Give me the scroll Sakura..." The Third gestured towards the girl who returned to his side, pulling out a scroll from a pouch on her thigh. "Excellent. Now everyone, I need your blood to complete this..." The third opened the scroll, stricking his thumb across a kunai, and smearing his blood onlone the ancient scripture there. Examining it closly showed other faded lines of blood. The Kakashi, Iruka, and Sakura looked warrily at the scroll and back to the fox who stood laughing at them. They struck their fingers and wiped the blood next to the Hokage's. /You dont hanestly believe that you can bind me down again/ It mocked. /Foolish humans. Go ahead and try./ Sasuke stood looking back and forth between the Hokage and the fox. "Sasuke! We need you to. Leave him for a second." Kakashi called.

Sasuke slit his finger, smearing his blood onto the parchment. "Ok, everyone, gather round him in a cirlce." The Third made sure everyone was in position. "Be prepared to be sealed again fox. Although we cannot kill you, we can entrap you for now. One day, we shall find a way to separate you and Naruto, and he will be free of you." The fox snickered. "Brace yourself Naruto! This will cause you more pain than you've ever felt before!" The five ninja began the hand movements necessary, following the Hokage's lead.

"On my lead we must wrap the fox with this scroll. It will bind gim, and force him back into his seal." The other ninja nodded. "Ready...steady...GO!" The ninja lunged at the fox, kakashi and Iruka grabbing hold of his arms, and Sakura and Sasuke grabbing his legs. /Damn you humans/ The fox snarled and writhed in anger trying to break free. The Third quickly wrapped the scrool around Naruto's old, broken seal.

The moment it touched his flesh, it began to burn and sizzle. Naruto cried out. He'd never felt such pain before. the fox gave his deadliest snarl yet. A few more hand movements, and the Hokage placed his hands atop the seal. Slowly but surely, the signs of the fox began to fade. The fox cursed them, its voice growing distant. Red ayes turned blue, and Narutos nails became normal again. The five backed away as naruto lay on the ground, writhing in agony as the scroll continued to seal the kyuubi away. "AAAAGGGGGHHHH!" Naruto clutched at his stomach in pain. Iruka, Kakashi and the Third stood watching in fascination and pity, trying to catch their breath's.. Sakura had collapsed next to Naruto, nearly unconscious from the loss of chakra. She lay next to him, breathing heavily.

Sasuke was croutched over the boy, clutching his hand in an attempt to comfort him. Naruto's hand was nearly crushing Sasuke's. Suddenly the boy stopped moving, stopped breathing. "Naruto! For gods sake wake up! You cant leave us now!" Sasuke gripped his hand harder, and glared at the Hokage. "What did you do to him?" He snarled. Kakashi stepped forward, scooping naruto up in his arms, and nodded to the Hokage. "I'll take him to the hospital." With that, he dissapeared. "I'll take Sakura. Will you be ok Sasuke?" Iruka asked sadly. He was so exhausted. "I'll come with you, to take care of Naruto." Sasuke reasoned. "Go home and rest." It was the Hokage who spoke this time. "To hell I will! I need to help him!" Sasuke was getting angry. "Go get some rest. Its an order." Sasuke slumped when he heard this. He'd have to go home, but there was no way he would be able to sleep.

Sasuke collapsed onto his bed. He was more tired than he thought.. His mind reeled. There was only one good thing that had happened. He hadn't had to kill Naruto. But was he dead now? Lying in a hospital bed, cold as ice? Sasuke shivered. There was no way he was going to sit there and wait to hear about it. One way or the other. He stood up, and took a shower. It felt good to have all that dirt off of him. He dressed again, and peeked outside. It was dark outside now. He looked down the streets, finding no one, he stepped out the door, and made his way to the hospital.
