Friend?

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Today was like any other day to Naruto. He woke up, walked to the academy ignoring the cold stares of the villagers, and scared everyone in his class shitless. As he sat there listening to Iruka giving another boring lecture on chakra he heard a familiar dark voice.

" Hello, kit" bellowed the kyuubi.

'What the hell do you want with me, you bastard." Replied a pissed Naruto.

"What can't a demon speak to his container once in awhile."

"No." answered Naruto in his same cold monotone voice.

"I see, well then I guess you don't need my help with your revenge." The Kyuubi said expecting Naruto to beg for his forgiveness. To his surprise his reaction was the exact opposite.

"It doesn't matter I don't need you." The blond said to the kyuubi's surprise. " After I destroy this pitiful excuse for a village I will kill myself thus completing my final goal of destroying you."

" Kit, you know your insane right?"

For the first time the since the incident the demon saw Naruto smile as he replied except for the fact that it was an insane, evil smirk, but a smile never the less. "I know, I know."

The class had been starring at Naruto for the last 10 minutes watching him talk to himself and suddenly smile one of the most evil, insane smirks they had ever seen! They all thought the same thing 'Naruto's insane!.'

He suddenly realized the class was starring at him. 'Damn, I spoke to the kyuubi out loud AGAIN!' he thought to himself ignoring the demon lord laughing in the back of his head.

Suddenly the bell rang and the class began exiting the class for lunch forgetting about the blonds display.

As he headed for his usual spot under a shady tree to eat the only thing he remotely liked, ramen( of course), he noticed a group of girls surrounding a smaller midnight blue haired girl wearing a beige jacket.

" Look what you did you idiot!" Screamed one of the girls as she held out a piece of paper with a large C- on it!"

" Yea!" said another girl ,"When we told you to do our homework we were expecting at least a B!"

"I-I didn't…d-do…" the girl stuttered trying to explain but was quickly interrupted when she was slapped by the girl to her right sending hinata to the floor. "Shut up you little bitch! You may be the Hyuuga heir, but your still a stupid little weakling." Yelled the girl.

As Naruto watched he saw flashes of his past of him being beaten up for things he didn't do zoom through his mind. The blond saw himself in the place of the girl and was suddenly filled with rage ready to kill anything on site. Then he saw one of the girls pull back her fist ready to punch.

Hinata cowered in fear, closing her eyes, and braced herself for the punch being thrown at her but it never came. When she looked up she was full of shock. She was facing Naruto's back as he held the punch meant to hit her face. The girl who had thrown it was contorting her face obviously in pain as she slowly kneeled to the floor while trying to break out of the 'demon boy's' grip. The girls that had previously surrounded her were taking small steps back in fear.

Then one of the braver girls finally stuttered "W-why a-are you h-helping her."

He quickly recognized her as Ino Yamanaka. He let go of the other girls hand letting her fall to the ground clutching her broken hand and without looking at her he replied ," I just don't like to see people be mistreated by cold hearted bitches like you." Before Ino could respond he continued." If you value your life then you will leave….NOW!" The girls quickly fled leaving Naruto and Hinata alone.

Suddenly the shy girl said with a blush," T-Thank you..for h-helping me."

"Hn." Was all the boy said as he was about to leave when suddenly he heard the girl speak again.

"W-would y-you like to e-eat l-lunch…w-we me." The blue haired girl whispered, the last part barely audible to the human ear.

The blue eyed boy's first instincts told him to say no but something was stopping him, and he slowly sat down and ate his ramen without a word.

After an awkward silence hinata finally spoke up again with a light blush. " D-does m-mean we're…… friends. After a short pause he finally responded.

"Friends are pointless, and will only hold me back. I don't need nor want any."

The girls head sunk, her silky hair covering her eyes, as she was trying to hold back tears.

'I thought I finally made a friend' the girl thought to herself sadly.

Then the blond spoke again in a softer tone, " I prefer the term…acquaintance."

Hinata suddenly looked up at him with a mixture of disbelief and pure happiness in her eyes, and suddenly jumped on him hugging the boy. As she hugged him Naruto felt a feeling that he hadn't ever felt before in his life, he felt somewhat happy and ALMOST smiled. He also couldn't help but like the feel of the girl on him. Her skin was so soft and hair so silky but he quickly shook all thought out of his head as he heard that same dark voice.

"It seems kit has found a mate." The kyuubi said in a mocking tone.

"Shut up you damn fox! She is only an acquaintance and will never be anything more!" he yelled back at the king of demons.

"Sure whatever you say, kit. Whatever you say." And at that the demon retreated back into the back part of Nartuo's mind.
