A little friend of mine wanted me to post her fic here….
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
A little 7 years old boy was walking to home back from the Academy, ignoring all the glares from the villagers. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and wearing a gray shirt with the leaf sign in it outlined of red and black shorts. His name was Naruto. Just today, he was placed in another care taker and it seemed that his care taker was the best. She treated like he was her own son and her name was Kitsune. When he saw his new house, he went running to it.
Just when he was about to come in quietly and surprise Kitsune, the door suddenly opened and paled skin arms grabbed Naruto. It took him inside and then started tickling him. Naruto laughed as he saw his new Caretaker, Kitsune. She has long silver hair, light blue eyes, and wearing some what a maiden's clothes. "Kitsune! AHAHAHA! Stop-AHAHAHA! I GIVE-AHAHAHA!" screamed Naruto as he kept on laughing and so as Kitsune. Kitsune smiled and slowly stopped the tickling and hugs Naruto. "AWW! Naruto, you are SO cute!" said Kitsune as they both have fun together.
It's been a week and still Kitsune was treating Naruto the same way; a son. The Sandaime was proud that he finally trusted a caretaker to take care of Naruto. One day happened, while Naruto was at the academy Kitsune went out for a little walk then two Jounins came up to her. They were both males. "Good day, is there anything I can help you with?" Kitsune asked with a smile which made the two Jounins annoyed. "Yes, we'd like you to get rid of that filthy fox!" said the second Jounin which made Kitsune very mad that she punched him.
"Don't you dare call Naruto that! He hasn't done anything to you!" said Kitsune. "Why you little!" One of the Jounins was about to attack until an ANBU came and knocked both of the Jounins. "Thank you" said Kitsune as the ANBU nodded and went off carrying the two Jounins to a prison cell. But what they didn't know was that was all just a set up. The ANBU wasn't really an ANBU but just undercover. He and the two Jounins were together to kill the little Naruto.
When Kitsune came home late, she saw Naruto on the couch crying. "…Naruto?" Kitsune asked to break the silence. Naruto look up with his teary blue eyes. He started to run up and embraced Kitsune's legs. "Kitsune! Please don't go! Don't leave me alone!" shouted Naruto as he kept on crying and kept on begging. "PLEASE! I'll cook breakfast, lunch, dinner! I'll quit the academy just to be here with you! I'll do anything please don't go!"
"Naruto!" said Kitsune as she hugged Naruto and said, "No…I promise I'll never leave you, Naruto even if I had to, I'd die first….I love you" while saying that Kitsune had tears flowing down and so Naruto hugged Kitsune and never let's go. At night, they were still holding, none of them moved to get dinner since they weren't really hungry. Naruto then fell asleep but his grip was still strong and maybe with two tugs he'll wake up.
So Kitsune sighed and smiled. She walks up to her bed and laid there with Naruto at her side and when Kitsune was about to fall asleep little Naruto then woke up but still half asleep. "Hmm, what is it Naruto?" Kitsune asked as Naruto closed his eyes and said, "I love you too…mommy…" And with that Naruto fall asleep while Kitsune look surprised then it fade away to a smile with tears falling down. Soon she fell asleep with Naruto in her arms.
In the morning was every normal morning, they get ready, eat breakfast, and since today was no school they had fun: playing games, watching TV, and all those other stuff. When sun sets, Kitsune let him in on a little secret.
"Naruto?"
"Yes?"
"I'll let you in on a little secret but first, I want you to remember these lines"
"O-okay…"
"…A golden possession can hold so many memories of you and I…"
"…A golden possession can hold so many memories of you and I?"
"Yup, just remember that! And in the future you might get what you want to do with that line" said Kitsune with a happy smile. Naruto was confused yet he just laughed. They both laughed. It was a happy day for them. Then one night everything changed. The next day, Naruto came home late that night because of training; he saw his house door was torn apart. He was shocked to see and was terribly worried about Kitsune that he ran inside with no hesitation. He saw something he shouldn't have seen.
The whole living room was ripped off, a mess, and a disaster. Blood stains everywhere but there were more on the wall. There was something written on the wall, outlined by blood it says,
DIE!
Naruto widened his eyes. He didn't understand what that means until then he saw a hand sticking out of the couch so he quickly ran behind the couch and saw Kitsune lying on the ground, covered in blood, torn clothes, and big bruises and cuts. "Kitsune! Kitsune!" shouted Naruto as he tried waking her up. Fortunately, Kitsune opened her eyes to see her little boy, Naruto, one last time. "Naruto…I'm sorry…" said Kitsune in a weak voice. "No! Don't go! Please! You promise you'll never leave me!" Naruto tears kept on going.
"…I'm so sorry…breaking the promise from you pains me a lot…but…I have no choice…" said Kitsune as she was crying as well. Her eyes are half open so she has to make this only time last long. "Naruto….don't take revenge because of this…life can sometimes be cruel…but Naruto…if you happen to know who did this to me…would you mind to kicking their ass? I'd like that…" she said with a smile which made Naruto laughed a little. "Oh? It seems I got a very good response…" said Kitsune.
"…Kitsune…will I ever see you again?"
"Some day when the time is right…my time is almost up…do you have anything to say?"
"I do…you treat me like an equal since the day we met…usually, one of my care takers lock me in the closet, beat me up, treat me like trash, and force me to do things I don't want to do…But I'm glad to have met you…you were the only one…who ever cared…you were the only person who loved me as a friend and even a son…that was the only greatest gift I had ever receive…I wish we could spend time longer…I wish….I wish this never happened to you…you could have quit on me while you had the chance…if you knew this was coming, why didn't you quit!"
"Because…I love you Naruto…you're my son…that will never change…even if I had to go…you are my nakama…"
"…Mom?"
"Yes, my son?"
"Will you sing me a lullaby before you go?"
"…anything for you…"
Kitsune slowly sits up and lays her back on the wall while Naruto sits on her lap and hugs her for the last time. Slowly when the wind blew in, she starts singing her last lullaby to Naruto.
"Will I always be there for you?
When you need some one will I be that one you need?
Will I do all my best to protect you?
When the get near your eyes
Will I be the one that's by your side?
Will I be there when you call me in the middle of the night?
Will I keep the rain from falling down into your eyes?
I promise
I promise
I promise I will
And I love you more everyday
And nothing will take that love away
When you need some one
I promise I'll be there for you
For you
Will I be there when you call me in the middle of the night?
Will I keep the rain from falling down into your eyes?
I promise
I promise
I promise I Will
And I promise
Oh I promise
I will be there when you call me
I promise
I promise I will…"
With that she closed her eyes and took her last breath. Naruto knows that when he laid his head on Kitsune's chest where her heart is. It stopped beating. Naruto just lay there, not moving an inch, and crying. Later then, the hokage with some ANBU came in and was looking shock. The Hokage was frustrated. The Hokage just went over to Naruto apologizing for Kitsune's death and promising that who ever done this to Naruto will pay higher consequences. Naruto didn't care. He just wants his mother alive again but he knows that can never happen.
Until that on Naruto decided to live by himself in an apartment. Hokage agreed to this as he gave Naruto some of the materials he'll need. Soon, Naruto grows up with no one. Alone in apartment, hoping that someday he'll meet Kitsune again.
Will be continued…
