Hello! I'm back. :) This fanfiction was largely inspired by my classmate whose religion allows for him to have 3 wives. He told me it would be too much work to have three wives squabbling over one another. (True that) That gave me the guts to write about a girl with three husbands.

Chapter 7

All he could see and feel was red. Red hot anger that surged in his body, controlling his every action. He was a puppet to the hot anger, and with that anger came power. Immense power that erupted out of his body in massive waves. Every fibre of his body was screaming at him for the need to get his revenge. His mind was clouded with so much frustration and anger, he had no control over his body.

All he thought of was. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill… His mind felt lost in the rage, he could not think properly, the anger was like a mask, smothering his last breath. Why was he doing this? Why did it hurt so much? He wanted the hurt and anger to stop. He wanted something to hurt in his place. But, why was he doing this?

Naruto didn't know what to do anymore. He wanted peace and harmony. The protection of his precious people, Rumi. Rumi. Rumi. He wanted a better world for her, but just as Pain said…It was impossible. Naruto's face contorted at the thought. Protection resulted in battles, battles caused deaths and deaths brewed hatred.

It was a never ending vicious cycle, a vicious cycle that the love of his life suffered from. His head pounded with dull pain and he held it tightly, his body shaking lightly. Harumi. Help him. He needed an answer. How could he do it? How could he end everything?

He could feel the phantom touch of her magic, her fingers wrapping around his wrist. The feeling of her magic calms him down a little, and he reaches upwards, wanting to touch her mark over his heart-

"She lies." The nine tail's voice echoed around him, powerful and dark. Naruto glanced up watching the red eyes bore down at him illuminous in the shadows. "She lies and you know it." It hisses, drawing power from the fear and hatred in Naruto's heart. "It sickens me that inside you know the truth yet you chose to ignore what is in front of you."

"SHUT UP!" Naruto growled, his mind feels less clouded from the effect of Rumi's magic and he can think much clearly.

"Humans. You grasp onto her, ignoring the deception under her pretty emerald eyes after she tells you she loves you." The Kyubi teased, chuckling softly.

"SHUT UP!" Naruto shakes his head frantically. He did not want to think about that now! The doubts and confusions on why such a pretty girl would fall for a demon like him of all people! The Kyubi brings forth the thoughts that he buries deep inside himself. Fears that would potentially destroy the rose coloured happiness he experiences with her, and break his heart forever.

"You are blinded by that witch's magic, unable to see the truth. Her soul mark doesn't just include a little golden fox does it?"

"STOP SPEAKING!" A memory flashed into his mind, the glimpse of the mark over her heart. She had said that her soul mark for him was a golden fox print, but he remembered seeing a flash of a turquoise racoon and a glimpse of a red crow. For some reason something holds his tongue and he was unable to ask. Unable to question the origins of those tattoos. Somehow, he was scared of what her answer might be, scared to lose her forever.

"You've seen it. You've been to her room and you've seen another male's clothes. Her brother perhaps?" The Kyubi chuckles, drawing from the seeds of doubt that had been planted in his mind for so long. "But she doesn't have a brother, nor does she allow her slaves into her room. Funny."

"SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!" Naruto squeezes his eyes close, plugging his ears. She brought him to her room once, for a visit to her workplace, her hospital.

She had been called to see an emergency patient and he had stumbled over the male clothes that were mingled in her laundry by accident. He uncovered used clothes that were covered with a foreign smell and her scent…The scent her loved so much was imprinted all over those clothes. He ignores it, trying to convince himself that it could be just a big misunderstanding. Something, a demon like him should not even bother.

"There always seem to be another male's smell over her skin, but you brush it off because you cannot bear to know the truth you weak mortal."

"SHE LOVES ME!" Naruto denies with a scream. The foreign yet familiar scent of another man always seemed to linger on her skin. He used to think his improved sense of smell was a blessing as a jinchuuriki, now he wished he couldn't smell it at all. He wished his nose wasn't as sensitive.

"And she cheats on you."

"SHE DIED FOR ME! SHE FOUGHT FOR ME! I LOVE HER!" Naruto screamed himself hoarse panting hard. He did not know who he was trying to convince now. Himself or the nine tailed fox. He was hanging onto the web of lies that Rumi painted. Was the Rumi he loved even real? Or just a lie to get him to the Akatsuki? Who could love someone like him?

"She said all of that only because of the contract. Continue to deny it but you know…She lies and that is why you hesitate to return her love. You can never bring yourself to say those three words" The Kyubi grins revealing sharp canines and Naruto was wordlessly shaking his head, unknowing of the red chakra seeping up his skin. Naruto gasps, in his weakened state, he was careless and lowers his guard against the Kyubi. He jerks forward, making a noise of pain as his seal opens and begins to leak inky black liquid. Naruto's eye turn from brilliant blue to a crimson red.

"Entrust me with your soul. Let me defeat your enemies. I'll save you from all the suffering." The Kyubi purrs, watching with glee as Naruto's pupils sharpen to slits. His lips pries apart into a ghastly smile, his voice echoing the Kyubi's.

"And I'll kill them all for you."

-(._.)-

"Lady Hari! Lady Hari!" The voices of her house elves chimed beside her ear. Hari groaned, it hurt to move her body. Her muscles protested at every movement. Her skin prickled, chakra buzzing over her body. She could feel the familiar dense chakra that swirled in the air, thick, gooey and saccharine sweet.

It felt like she was drowning in dark chocolate, submerged under the intoxicating goodness. Her eyes cracked open, feeling the dull ache of pain in her body. Her house elves were swarming around her, their magic coaxing her injuries to heal. She tilted her head, glancing at her watch which remained thankfully intact. Naruto's gem was fizzing with red electricity, buzzing and zapping at the blue, creating tiny singes and burns.

Naruto…Hari closed her eyes once more, making one last attempt to reach to him trying to find her speck of blue in the sea of crimson red. Her magic surges, drawing onto the soul mark that connects her to him. It travels across the plane, linking to the mind of her lover.

When she opened her eyes again she was no longer at the hospital. She blinked. Naruto's mind was a sewer? She raised a brow, inspecting the area. Yup, a dark and pretty disgusting sewer. This brought the phrase 'mind in a gutter' to a whole new level. Hari glanced down, grimacing in disgust. Her feet was wet from some kind of inky dark liquid, which stuck to her skin. What the hell was going on in Naruto's thoughts?

Hari took a step forward, and the liquid around her ankles glowed. Hari gasped in wonder as the water that surrounds her ankles turns bright gold. The beam of light subsides, revealing crystal clear, water underneath her feet. She could finally see the floor, which glowed like embers in a fire, shimmering with iridescent colours. Weird. Soulmate magic perhaps? Funny that she was the one 'cleansing' his mind. She snorted. It should be the other way around.

Hari arrived at an open room with a huge golden cage at one end. It towered over her, the gilded bars chipped and old. There was a paper seal on the cage, it fluttered in the wind looking as if it might just crumble into dust. Naruto was walking towards that very seal looking ready to claw it off along with a good chunk of that old cage. Hari was pretty sure he was not supposed to be touching that paper seal.

"NARUTO! DAMN IT! I KNOW THAT'S A SHITTY LOCK BUT YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS HERE, RIGHT NOW!" Hari screamed at him, and Naruto froze mid step. He turns and Hari could not help the chill that crawls down her spine. His eyes…They were no longer her favourite blue shade that reminds her of endless skies. They were a deadly crimson, glowing in the dark with a single slit along the centre. He sneers, his body jerking forward like a puppet.

"Who are you to tell us what to do?" His voice was echoed with the Kyubi's, creating a deep gratingly low tone that vibrates across the room. He stumbles zombie like, a wide sneer on his lips. Hari cursed, the nine tailed fox was controlling him. SHIT! Naruto lunges towards her, his body spasms inhumanely. Before she knew it he has his fingers wrapped around her throat, his finger nails digging into her skin. Even if this was all mind-scape, it still hurt like hell.

"You say you love me but the Kyubi has told me all about your lies." Naruto grins madly, his eyes boring into her. His grip on her throat tightens and Hari coughs, struggling futilely. Crap, the nine tails was definitely drawing on his doubts and confusions. Hari winced, unable to do much in Naruto's mind. She tries again, flinging a stunning spell towards his body but he easily catches her wrist with the other hand, letting the spell bounce off the walls.

"N-Naruto what are you talking about?" Hari barely manages to choke out. Naruto's lips stretched apart, revealing sharp canines. He raised her up by her throat, and Hari is gasping for breath. She could feel her real body, weakening due to the mental attack. Shit. In one quick sweep, Naruto rips her clothes open, revealing her soul mark. He growls at the sight, bristling with rage and Hari finally realizes what he was speaking about. Oh Merlin.

"When were you going to tell me about Mr. Crow and Mr. Racoon, darling?" Naruto purrs, his fingers tightening its hold. Hari gasped as the air blurs around her and she was sent flying across the room. She lands painfully into the inky water, wincing at the impact on her head. She should have known keeping secrets would backfire one day. She should have known!

"Let me guess. You tell your little story to all those other males, making them fall in love with you?" He was beside her in a flash of red, his body crouched above her with a clawed finger raised above her body. He runs his finger along her soul mark, and it responds to him causing a shiver of pleasure coursing up her veins. Damn it. She could never win against him in his own mind. He was the master here and the nine tails was preventing her usage of magic.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell y-"She is shoved back into the wall forcefully, and all the air is knocked out of her lungs. Hari inhales sharply, coughing violently, her head spins as oxygen is cut off from her brain. She could feel her real body lurch from the attack.

"YOU CHEATED ON ME!"

"I DID NOT!" Hari manages to reply, albeit a little hoarsely. Her throat stung, and she could feel the green bruises forming on her skin. "I have th-" Naruto seemed to be getting angrier by the minute, fuelled by the nine tail's chakra he stalks up to her weakened body and uses his feet to step onto her chest pushing her into the inky water forcefully. Hari gasped submerged under the water, watching the bubbles travel over her head. She coughed and bubbles of air escapes her lips. Naruto loomed over her a crazy smirk on his face watching her struggle for air.

Her lungs were burning and she claws at his feet, trying to push his foot away. She uses a spell with a flick of her wrist, the red light hitting squarely in his chest...He was still standing? How the hell? Hari's eyes widened in realization. The soul bond was preventing her magic from harming him mentally. She really hated this bloody loophole. F*ck!

Naruto sneers, letting her go at the very last second and she bursts out of the water heaving for mental air. The Kyubi was forcing the mental scape to act like the real world, she realized. Her eyes darting towards Naruto. The Kyubi was intent on trying to kill her.

Tears spilling out of her eyes from the pain and hurt. Her magic was distraught that her soulmate was fighting against her. It was painful to see Naruto like this, attempting to kill her. No. This was definitely not her Naruto. Her heart still clenched painfully at the sight of him doing this.

"I h-have three soulmates." She croaks out, swallowing thickly. "I was going to tell you that my ancestors formed three contracts. I'm the last descendent and conveniently you and the others. You were the last few of your clan too-"

"LIES! LIES! ALL LIES!" Naruto howled. He was clenching his head, shaking violently his eyes a maddening crimson glint. "I should have known." Naruto gasps, and for a second Hari could hear her Naruto in there. "No one will ever love a monster like me." Hari's heart clenched in pain at his words, her eyes widening in horror at his words. No. No, he could not say that. She loved him so much. Naruto laughs, the sound echoes around the room. Hari freezes in shock, her skin erupting with goose bumps at the eerie sound. Then Naruto attacks.

He leaps across the room, pushing her down into the water. His fingers wrapped around her throat. He clenches it tightly, his eyes illuminating her surroundings with a soft red glow. He looks handsome even with maniacal glint and the red eyes. Hari thinks, her mind in a daze from the lack of oxygen. So handsome.

"Don't worry. "She hears him purrs. "We'll just kill your mind, so that your body will remain with us forever and ever. We have no use for the mind of a cheater after all." Hari's vision blurs as the lack of oxygen gets to her brain. Hah. Funny this wasn't even in real life. Dying a second time at the hands of none other than her own soulmate. Her heart in real life gives a shuddering stutter and her magic flickers. The flames dying out from pain…

"Naruto! Snap out of it!" A flash of blonde knocks Naruto back and she watched as the Fourth Hokage, Minato appeared, pushing him aside quickly. Naruto's crimson eyes change from stunning red to his usual beautiful blue. He turns and gasped, seemingly realizing what he has done. He stretches an arm, horrified by his actions.

"RUMI!"

Hari closed her eyes finally succumbing to the darkness.

-(._.)-

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

There was someone crying beside her, his tears dripping onto her arm. A sweaty palm envelopes her hand. It was warm and it trembled as he sobbed. The person continues to apologize again and again. Stop apologizing, stop crying. She wanted to say, but her mind is taken by the darkness once again.

-(._.)-

"Please. Please wake up? I-I don't care if you fall in love with other people. I just want you to wake up. Please. Please."

The person was rambling like a broken record. His voice sounded strong but, his fingers trembled as he held her hand. It shook so hard, and she could feel the tell-tale familiar warmth of tears on the surface of her skin. Stop crying please. Stop. Her magic surges sadly, wanting to reach out to him, but it was too weak. The person, sniffed, bawling loudly. The sound ripped through her heart, filled to brim with so much pain, her heart bled for him.

"I-I can't. I need you. I can't give you away. I-I love you so much. Why are you doing this to me? How can you be so cruel?" The person wailed. "It hurts. Why does it hurt so much?"

"N-Naruto-sama? I…We were not supposed to tell you this, my lady wanted to tell you personally, but…This time, we'll break the rules." Hari hears the resounding thump of someone slamming her head on the wall repeatedly.

"EH? Stop doing that!" The person holding her hand leaves and her skin feels cold without the warmth of his touch.

-(x0x)-

"I know everything now…I wish you told me sooner, but I was such a selfish bastard. I probably would not have listened." The person said, huffing a loud sigh. "I even visited Itachi-san. Heh. Sasuke must be so mad right now. Hehehehe."

"Your house elves…They're so weird. But, I like them. They tried to make me feel better. They tried to make ramen. Can you believe it?" The person laughs loudly. Then his voices softens, and she could feel his thumb rubbing soothing circles on the surface of her skin. "It tasted good, but not as good as Ichiraku's. I want to take you there. Could you just please. Please wake up?" The person sniffs.

"Itachi needs you. Gaara needs you. I-I need you. I can't do this anymore."

"Please."

-(.0.)-

"Please."

Hari rouses to the sound of Naruto. Her eyes fluttered open and she squints at him. Naruto shook with emotions, his shoulders heaved as dry sobs radiated through his body. Tears were dripping down his face and onto the cool hospital floor. She gripped onto his hand tightly, and he perks up to look at her. "Rumi." He gasped, a smile widening across his face. He rubs away his tears furiously, "You're awake!"

"Don't cry." Hari replied, using her fingers to brush the tears out of his eyes. He grasped her hand holding it to his cheek, pressing a kiss to the inside of her palm. Hari smiled, she sat up slowly and Naruto fretted over her, helping her up with large clumsy fingers.

She spells herself clean and giving her mouth a whirl of magic, too lazy to get out and brush her teeth. She might as well explain everything to him now. She took a cup, using a water spell to fill it to the brim. Hari took a swig, dispelling it quickly.

"I have a lot of explaining to do, don't I?" Hari smiled, taking his hand. He opens her mouth seemingly wanting to say something, before closing it with a small nod, pursing his lips together. "You know that our ancestors made a contract, in which if the last descendent of the main family of your clan would marry a Potter female." She watched as Naruto nods slowly. "At that time, my ancestors were saved by people from three different clans and as repayment they created three contract."

"I don't know if they knew this would happen or they didn't but…When I was a child, my parents found marriage links from me to two other males in our family tree. Then the last clan got itself blown up and well, currently I'm bonded by soul to the three of you." Hari pointed to her chest, lightly tapping on the soul mark.

"What I said about being a half of your soul isn't a lie. What I did not mention was that," Hari prepared herself ready to drop the bomb, she met his eye. "I have three halves of a soul and all three of you are my soulmates." Naruto was quiet, a myriad of expressions flickering across his face at rapid speed. He swallows, glancing down at his hands. Hari watched him carefully, her heart racing in her chest. She's scared that what happened in his mind would replay again. Scared that he would push her away "I can prove it to you, I have documents-"Naruto cuts her off with a shake of his head.

"I know. Your house elves. They told me. I know everything. Gaara and Itachi huh?" Naruto snorts, rubbing his nose. "Gaara I approve, but maybe not Itachi he's a crazy psychopathic bastard from what I hear. I will definitely not sit around if he tries to hurt you." He glanced up at her.

"I've had a lot of time to think about it. You've been asleep for a month, Rumi…" Naruto said, a sad smile on his lips. Hari's eyes widened in alarm. That long? Her magic was usually stronger than this, she had survived injuries even worse than what she had obtained from Pain. "Your doctors don't say it but I know it's because of me. I-It's because I tried to k-kill you." His body is heaving and he stutters out those words. The pure guilt and pain etched into his features makes Hari's heart clench tightly. No. Please do not doubt yourself please.

"Naruto…I'm sorry I-"

"NO! It's not your fault! Don't you get it?" Naruto snapped at her, tears pouring profusely from his face, his eyes are red and raw from crying. "I TRIED TO KILL YOU. I'M A MONSTER. A FREAK!" He pants, spitting out the words with venom. Freak. Hari's heart thudded at the word. The word that plagued her childhood. Naruto's face contorts, crumbling as he sobbed. God. Naruto. He was beating himself up for her.

"No. Stop it Naruto. It's not you it was the Kyubi-"

"IT WAS ME!" He snarls, his fingers trembling with emotions. "It was all in my head." He smiled, his eyes are empty and he looks like a broken doll. Her broken doll. "The Kyubi saw that chance and took it, fuelling my anger. I don't deserve you. Please, leave me. Go to your other soulmates. Don't come back to me. I don't need your lov-"Hari slapped him, her palm smacking against his heated flesh. The sound rang loudly in the room, his eyes were wide and stunned. "Rumi…"

"How selfish." She trembled, the lump forming in her throat. It hurts, her heart hurts. For him to even something like this. "How dare you suggest such a thing? I love you." Hari sobbed, her tears flowing freely down her face.

"Rumi, I will hurt you." Naruto emphasised, trying to get her to understand. He knelt beside her bed, taking her hand. "Rumi, please. Please, leave me." She pulled her fingers from his grasp, vehemently shaking her head.

"I LOVE YOU!" She screamed, her throat raw from the sheer force. "You can't do this to me. You can't." She heaved, her body jerking from the force of her tears. She was crying so hard, she felt almost nauseas, gasping for breath each time. Naruto rose, a bitter expression on his face, turning to leave her room.

"NARUTO UZUMAKI! DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE THIS ROOM!" She grips onto his clothes, preventing him from walking further. He turned, gently prying off her fingers.

"Let go of me Rumi. Let go."

"How can I when I'm letting go of the other half of me?" Rumi replied, her eyes watching him. He crumbles under her gaze, unable to bring himself to leave the room.

"W-Why are you like this? I'm a worthless orphan, the jinchuuriki. The disgusting Kyubi. " Naruto cries.

"But, you're mine. You're mine. Mine." Hari replied, holding onto his jacket so tightly, her fingernails created little moons on her flesh despite the barrier of cloth. "I didn't tell you of the other soulmates because I was scared! I was scared that you'll go! That you'll leave me! SO PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME." Hari sobs, feeling like a child. Her shoulders hunched as she cries, the tears soaking the hospital blankets wet. "I love you so much." Naruto's body is tensed, he is frozen in the spot.

"I love you too." He whispers.

"And that's all I need." Hari replies, her lips tilting upwards at the corners. She pulls him down by his shirt in one quick tug, pressing her lips to his in a salty tear stained kiss, bittersweet but filled with love.

This chapter was so emotional. I had such a hard time writing this. It took some real life experience and nights of typing for this chapter to come to this end. The next chapter will be less drama and more cutesy action.

Author's life:

Honestly? This year was pretty shitty for me. I did not write or give you all a new chapter because of exams.

Oh god, so basically my school decided to raise the standards of the retention grade. It made me panic so badly. I spent 100 hours or more studying and burying myself in so much stress. I was sleeping 3 hours a day and unable to stomach food. It was so bad my parents got mad because they thought I was trying to kill my body at the rate I was going. I would get plagued with nightmares and panic until I vomit. It was horrible. Please don't learn from me young readers.

I did pretty okay. I mean, it wasn't the best because of the stress(I blank out easily and panic when a teacher walks by my table) but I was far from the retention grade. PHEW. So I'm back after a long rest of doing absolutely nothing at home. YIPPEE. But, I'm really bad at managing stress. Do any of you have tips to help me? (;A;)
