"talking"

'thinking'

'kyuubi talking in Narutos' mind'

Kyuubi talking outside of Narutos' mind

Naruto opened his eyes slowly. He stared without seeing at the white wall in front of his eyes. It was completely dark around him, and he could hear a snoring sound beside the bed he was laying in.

'Where am I?' He thought drowsily.

'Your friend carried you to his house. He really cares about you, what a sweet couple you two make.' Kyuubis' voice ecchoed mockingly.

The blonde merely smiled, a red tint colouring his cheaks.

He turned around and looked at his friends' sleeping form. The black haired boy was snoring slightly, curled up in a chair. Naruto got up from the bed and walked out of the room. Since it was only 4 in the morning, it was still dark outside. The corridor was black, but it didn't seem to matter, as he could walk there blindfolded. Suddenly something swished behind him. He turned around quickly, but saw nothing. He turned the other way, but saw nothing this time neither.

'Ey fox, what was that?' He asked mentally, feeling a little worried.

The fox snorted.

'I have told you this before, everytime you let me loose, there's a price that has to be paid. Say hello to your new tail kit.'

Naruto flinched and turned around slowly. Attached to his behind was a long, dark red, furry tail. He took it in his hand and felt the smooth hairs slide between his fingers.

He sighed.

'More things to hide I guess.'

'I think it looks pretty good on you kit, soon you'll look like a real kitsune hanyou.'

'H-hanyou! No fucking way! I'm turning into a half-demon!'

'What did you expect? That the mighty demon lord would just present you with loads of powers and gifts, and then there wouldn't be any changes or prices at all? Sheesh kit, what kind of world do you think this is? And here I thought you were a clever kit...' The fox said in a surprised voice.

Naruto snorted.

'Shut up, baka kitsune. I knew there had to be a price, but I didn't expect I'd be turning into a half-demon.'

"Damn tricky demons..." He muttered to himself. The demon chuckled a little, ignoring the boys' mumbling.

A sound like an earthquake from his stomach sent the fox into a fit of laughter.

'Hungry kit?' He asked amusedly.

Naruto blushed again and took off towards the kitchen. He could smell something delcious from the fridge, so he pulled it open and took out some spare Ramen that lay there innocently and wolfed it down. After he took a seat on chair and leaned his head against the kitchen table. Suddenly he felt extremely sleepy, and closed his eyes.

'I'm just gonna rest my eyes for a bit...' He thought drowsily.

Sasuke opened his eyes with a groan. The morning sun played on his eyelids, effectively waking him up. He yawned and looked at the bed. Panic gripped his heart as he saw the empty disrupted sheats. But then he heard a snore from downstairs. He walked out from his room and into the kitchen. A broad smile came to his face as he saw his best friend laying full asleep with his head on the table, a little drool dripping from the corners of his mouth.

"Wake up dobe, you're drooling." He said with amusement. Naruto slowly opened aone eye and stared unfocusedly at his friend.

"W-what tine is it?" The blonde said with a huge yawn.

"Only 6 AM. But I se you've already eaten." Sasuke said with a smirk, pointing at the Ramen stains on the blondes' shirt.

"Ehrm, hehe." Naruto laughed embarrassedly, scratching the back of his head.

"You can borrow some more of my clothes if you want to, those you wear is a bit dirty."

"Are you sure?"

"Well off course, that's what friends do."

Naruto got up from the chair and embraced his friend tightly. Sasuke blushed but hugged back.

"Thank you." Naruto whispered." Thank you for helping me and for being my friend."

Then he released him with an embarrassed smile.

"Erhm, I'll just go up and change."

Sasuke followed the blonde with his eyes as he walked out of the kitchen, ignoring the disappointed feeling in his stomach and the nagging thought that told him that he should run after Naruto and hold him really tight once again.

"Why do I feel this way?" He whispered to himself. "We're friends, and that's all we're ever gonna be. He doesn't like me like that."

He shook his head and turned on the TV. Perhaps some meaningless cartoons would take his mind off the blonde changing clothes in his room. The screen zapped on, showing a young woman standing in the forest, holding a microfone in her right hand and staring straight into the camera.

"We are now standing in the forest were a teenage boy yesterday was brutally murdered. Witnesses claim that the killer was a blonde fifteen year old boy, who seemed to radiate a red 'power'. Apparently his name is Uzumaki Naruto, the boy who we all know had a connection to the deaths nine years ago. He is temporarily on the loose, so if anyone know his whereabouts, please call the police immidiatly. He is most likely not armed, but extremly dangerous."

At the end of the womans talk, Naruto returned and froze. Sasuke slowly turned around, fear shining from his eyes.

"We're in deep shit." He said quietly. Naruto merely nodded, his ears drooping sadly.

"What will I do?" He whispered apathetically, the tail swishing back and forth behind him.

"We will... Hey, is that a tail!" Sasuke stared at the red mass of fur behind the blondes' back.

Naruto nodded slowly. Sasuke eyeds the tail, and finally shrugged.

"Doesn't matter. We'll fix this, together. First, you'll have to stay here, in the house, while I go out and...do a thing. Second, I want you to tell me what that woman meant with you having connections to the deaths."

Naruto opened his mouth and closed it again.

"Well I- I... It's difficult, but I'll tell you later." He said quitely.

Sasuke nodded impatiently.

"Meanwhile, I'll have to go and do a thing. Stay here, and don't open the door. I'll be back real soon."

He embraced his friend quickly and then picked up a kitchen knife which he slid down his pocket without his friend noticing.

"Stay here." He said, patting Narutos' tail and then going out through the front door.

The blonde stared at the door with unseeing eyes.

"I'm so sorry for pulling you into this Sasuke." He whispered.

'I don't think he cares about that kit. Love is blinde as you know.'

"Lo-love!" He stuttered, blushing furiously.

Kyuubi sounded surprised.

'Can't you smell it? He isn't too good at hiding his emotions, I 'd say even humans should be able to smell them by now.'

Narutos' eyes widened.

'Yes, you two will make a beautiful couple.' The kitsune teased.

"Sh-shuddup!"

'Naruto and Sasuke, sittin' in a tree. K.I.S.S.I.N.G!' Kyuubi sang mockingly.

"SHUT UP!" The blonde yelled furiously, his tail flicking back and forth.

The demon lord chuckled, but suddenly got serious.

'You have to tell him the truth kit.'

"But what should I say? I can't lie to him, not to him!"

'Tell him the truth. If he truly loves you, then nothing can drive him from you, not even something as serious as this.'

Naruto blushed a little and nodded in response.

Sasuke stared at the house in front of him, his eyes clouded in anger. He was currently sitting next to a small bush, waiting patiently for the person living in the house to leave. He knew that the person had to go out sometimes, since he had a dog, and dogs needed to go out.

He didn't have to wait for long. Soon the front door opened, and a tiny white dog leapt out, followed by a grumpy looking boy who slammed the door shut and started walking down the road. Sasuke smirked and followed quietly, holding the knife in a firm grip.

Kiba looked anxiously over his shoulder. He got this feeling deep inside that something followed him, but he didn't see anyone, so he just kept on walking, following his dog Akamaru, who currently was chasing squirrels like mad. They stopped in the park, Kiba taking a seat on a bench, while Akamaru was running around in pure joy, chasing everything that moved.

Sasuke held his breath, carefull not to letanything expose his hiding in the bush right behind the bench where his victim currently was sitting. He grasped the knife harder and began to inch closer.

Kiba twitchet uneasily and scratched his back. Something was nagging him, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was. It felt almost like yesterday, when the boy he'd known for his entire life, the cheerful idiot who was completely harmless, had done the unthinkable.

He shuddered. The memory was painfull, and he was more filled with regret than he'd ever been in his entire life. Why did he do it?

With a shrug he picked up a stick from the ground and threw it.

"Akamaru, fetch!" He yelled.

The dog barked happily and ran after the flying stick. Kiba leaned back on the bench and closed his eyes. Suddenly he felt something icy cold against his throat. He froze, his hands dropping to his sides as someones dark voice whispered in his ear.

"How can you live with yourself after what you've done? How can you just sit there, how can you smile, how can you breathe knowing what you did?"

"W-what? What are you talking about!" Kiba stuttered.

"You know very well what I'm talking about. You'll pay for what you did to my Naruto."

Kiba only had time to open his mouth before he felt the ice cut in his throat. The pain was excruciating, unbearable like nothing he'd ever felt. He tried to scream, but all that came out was blood. He coughed as darkness crept into view. The pain began to fade away as the darkness got closer. Soon the darkness was everywhere, and he smiled a last time.

Sasuke stepped back as blood gushed forth from Kibas' throat. He dropped the knife and ran.

He felt strangely numb, like it wasn't he who'd done it. He knew he should be more concerned, but he wasn't.

The white dog ran happily with the stick in its mouth. But when it saw its master it stopped and dropped the stick. His master was too quiet, and he didn't move. With a whine the dog jumped up in its masters lap, licking the bloody face in attempt to wake him up.

But his master didn't.

Naruto paced back and forth in the house, his tail wagging nervously.

Sasuke had been gone for an hour, and he was beginning to feel worried.

So when the front door quietly slid opened he ran there, staring angrily at his friend.

"Where have you been! I was fucking worried!"

Sasuke merely looked at him, stepping into the house and closing the door behind him.

Naruto sniffed the air and wrinkled his nose.

"I smell blood, what happened?"

"Nothing. Now, I think it's time for you to tell me about what that woman on TV said." Sasuke said, effectively changing the subject.

The blonde stared silently at the ground.

"I-I can't tell you. You'll hate me, and I don't want that to happen."

"Tell me, I promise I won't hate you. Come on, it can't be that bad, right?"

Naruto looked up.

"It is. Don't make promises you cannot keep." He said.

"Look, I promise I won't hate you, ok? Trust me!"

"Ok, I'll tell you. It's..." His voice faded away.

'Kyuubi, I can't tell him!' Naruto thought desperatly.

'I can help you, but you'll have to let me take hold of your body again, and you'll probably recieve another change.'

'It's ok fox, just do it.'

Naruto closed his eyes and felt the demon reach out for him as he slumped into something resembling sleep.

Sasuke stared curiosly at the blonde as he closed his eyes, only to open them and flashing their now deep red orbs to him.

"Konnichiwa, friend of my kit."

"K-Konnichiwa." Sasuke replied.

"Kit decided that I was better suited to tell you about the reason everyone hates him, and how he's connected to the murders. Basically, his family line is the vessels of me, Kyuubi no Kitsune. Every time when the oldest Uzumaki child comes of age, the current holder move my spirit to the new child. But when kits' father tried to move me to him, his body refused. But since my chakra, my ki, is so strong, it overpowered his and created a huge blast. The blast killed everyone in close range except for the kit. And now, because of that incident, we're mixing together, our souls turning to one. He is the last Uzumaki vessel, for I will die with him. And also, he is the first hanyou ever, because of us mixing. Don't hate the kit, he depends on you more than anything else in this world."

Sasuke stared in shock at the person in front of him,unable to grasp what he just had heard.

"You killed my parents." He said slowly.

The demon shook his head.

"No. That was merely the unfortunate effects of the chakra blast. Not our fault."

Sasuke shook his head.

The demon sighed.

"I think it's better if the kit talks to you."

He closed his eyes and opened them a few seconds later, now back to their normal blue.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry, I..." He began.

The raven haired boy shook his head again, tears brimming in his usually cold eyes as he turned his back to the blonde and fled out the door.

Naruto slumped down to the floor, his furry tail curling up around him. Feeling completely hollow, he clutched his torso and stared out in the now empty room, ignoring the pricks of pain on his shoulders as his new grown claws pierced the skin.

'Kit...' The fox began sadly, but the blonde only stared unseeing into the air, his heart feeling like it was torn in pieces.

"I'm damned." He whispered to himself, rocking back and forth. "I'm damned."

Sasuke ran, not knowing where, only that he had to run. Tears flooded down his cheaks, his teeth cluthed hard together.

'I'm sorry Naruto, I need some time to think.' He thought.

In a park somewhere in the village, a child screamed at the sight of a bloody corpse laying on a park bench. A young woman quickly pushed a number on her cell phone while she gathered the child in her arms, shieldin it from the sight. The white dog sleeping in the corps' knee stirred a little at the scream, but didn't wake up. It didn't even wake up as people with white robes lifted its masters' body up into a car.

Soooo, what do you think?

R&R please

Ja ne people!
