Chapter 10: Kyuubi Tries to Break Free

Italicized: thoughts

Naruto sat in his bed as the morning sun's radiant rays brightened his room. He stared at the wall in fascination still remembering about what had happened last night. He was lost in thoughts until a loud knock was heard pounding on his door. He jumped and turned around to hear Iruka yelling at him to wake up and get ready for school or he'll be late. He got off the bed slowly, his hair in mess and his eyes sleepy from the dreamless night. He got out the door sleepily and got ready to go to school.

At school Naruto heard some shouting in the front gates and decided to check it out. When he got there a rock flew at him and he ducked to dodge it. He saw Shino holding Kiba back from attacking Gaara and these two other people, one a guy and the other a girl. Naruto, who was very curious, decided to go up to them and ask what was going on.

"Damn you Gaara, say that again and you're asking for it!" yelled Kiba in anger.

"Calm down Kiba!" yelled Shino who was still holding him back.

Gaara just starred as the two other just stood behind him. The guy behind him stepped up and put a hand on Gaara's shoulder. Gaara took a step back then they all turned away and left.

"What happened?" asked Naruto as he came up to Shino and Kiba.

"Damn Gaara always thinks he's so tough!" mumbled Kiba to himself as he pried Shino's hand away and walked off.

"Don't worry about it," said Shino as he turned to Naruto.

"Okay…" replied Naruto.

"Well, see you later."

"Yeah."

Naruto watched as Shino walked away after Kiba. He turned back to see Gaara talking with the other two people that was standing behind them. Naruto took a step forward as he twisted himself towards the school, but his sight blurred as he fell forward towards the ground. His body started to heat up as he curled into a ball on the ground. His teeth clenched together as pain shot through his body. He screamed in agony as he felt Kyuubi seeming to rip through his body. He crawled up to a standing position with claws growing from his nails and his teeth growing longer. His agonizing scream caught Gaara and the other two people's attention. They walked up to Naruto, but took a step back as Naruto sent a slashing movement towards them. His chuckles were deep and amusing as he had caught the older man that was with Gaara and threw him into the air.

"Kankuro!" yelled both Gaara and the girl.

The girl frowned and ran towards Kyuubi and attacked him but failed as she too was thrown into the air, with claws slashing through her stomach.

"Temari!" yelled Gaara.

Kyuubi then took a glance at Gaara and smiled evilly. Gaara glared back and stood in the same spot as Kyuubi ran towards him. Kyuubi was blocked by sands and sent back flying. Kyuubi stood back up and laughed amusingly.

"You seem to be a good opponent, hehehe," chuckle Kyuubi.

Gaara's face was normal and didn't flinch as Kyuubi sent an attack towards him. Though Gaara had a good defense, in the end he was no match for Kyuubi. Gaara's sand defense was broken through as Kyuubi ran through it and lashed an attack on Gaara. Gaara fell to the ground, blood soaking his shirt. Kyuubi smiled as he left them on the ground and started to walk towards the school.

Sakura stood in the hallway looking out the window. Sasuke-kun… Sakura closed her eyes as she remembered seeing him at the hospital last night. She had went to visit him a bit late because she was busy in the afternoon and when she had visited him, Sasuke's shirt was all ripped and he seemed out of it. He didn't talk at all and just slept in his bed. Sakura was worried sick, but no matter how much she tried to ask him, he didn't respond. She snapped out her thoughts as she heard people quiet down. She turned and saw Naruto walking through the hallway. Everyone was staring and whispering about him. After what happen, it's not a wonder why this is happening, poor Naruto. Sakura stepped up from the crowd and watched her as she went and walked by Naruto's side.

"How're you feeling Naruto?" asked Sakura.

"…"

"Um, well…look at you, your clothes are all dirty! What happened? Did you fall?" asked Sakura as she stopped him by going in front of him.

Kyuubi growled as she stopped him and he pushed her aside. Sakura starred after him in shock.

"Baka! I was trying to be nice and you just push me aside!" yelled Sakura.

"You should learn to keep you're mouth shut," said a voice unrecognizable to Sakura.

"You're…you're not Naruto."

"Heh, you just realized."

"Who're you?!"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Kyuubi turned and walked straight ahead, stopping in the middle as some boys walked by him and whispered to each other about him. Kyuubi smiled as he sent his claws out slicing through one of the boys, killing him. Sakura screamed and everyone around started to run. Kyuubi ran after some people and killed them as though they were nothing. Sakura started crying and tried to stop Kyuubi. Kyuubi was enjoying every moment of it, but was held back as Sakura latched onto him. Kyuubi pushed Sakura off of him and slammed her against the wall. One of his hands wrapped around her throat and choked her. Tears fell from Sakura's eyes as she tried to talk. Kyuubi smiled as he choked her more. Sakura could barely breathe, but soon the pain was gone as Kyuubi released her, and she started to cough harshly. Kyuubi stepped back into the dead bodies, his hands against his head. Kyuubi growled loudly as he clawed his forehead, until blood started to drip down. Naruto was trying to take back his body from Kyuubi as best as he can. Sakura watched this in horror as Naruto scooted back until his body hit the window, breaking it as he slammed into it. Sakura stood up and ran towards Naruto but was too late as he fell through the window. His back and knees scraped against the broken window as he fell through it, but somehow, Naruto was able to grab hold onto a ledge that stood out. He held onto it with pain shooting through his back and arms. He was able to get his body back, but now he was in another bad situation. He looked down and saw some bushes and hoped that would help cushion his fall. He let go of the ledge and fell right into the bushes, and turned out to be fine. Sakura ran down stairs as ran to Naruto.

"Naruto!" yelled Sakura as she ran and sat next to him.

She held her hands out towards him, but he pushed it away startling Sakura. Naruto stood up quickly and looked at Sakura with frighten eyes. Sakura looked up at him and tried to call out his name, but nothing came out. Naruto took off running back home after that leaving the school with the destruction Kyuubi left behind.

Iruka saw Naruto stained with blood and was worried about him, but Naruto just pushed him aside and ran to his room. He never came out for the whole day, and the phone kept ringing. Iruke finally unplugged the phone, and once he did, the doorbell rang. He went to open it and saw Tsunade standing before him. Iruka's eyes widened as she saw him and he let her come inside. She explained what had happened at school, and that many students were injured and even died. The parents of the injured and dead students are suing them.

"Iruka-san, just what is Naruto?" asked Tsunade.

"…He…have you heard of the fox demon Kyuubi?" asked Iruka.

"Yes, I have."

"Well, that demon now resides within Naruto. Ever since an accident that had happened when he was a child, Kyuubi now lives inside him, and when ever Naruto uses the power of Kyuubi, he slowly loses control of his body to Kyuubi. As a child, Naruto didn't know how to control Kyuubi…Kyuubi had used his own body and killed Naruto's parents…"

Iruka looked down in sorrow. Tsunade remained quiet. She stood up after a while and nodded towards Iruka.

"I will try my best to not let this go out into public, but until then, Naruto is to stay hidden," said Tsunade.

Iruka nodded and walked her to the door where some guards waited for her. As she left, Iruka went upstairs and knocked on Naruto's door. Naruto didn't answer to the knock so Iruka started speaking.

"Naruto…it's not your fault…you don't have to punish yourself…can't you please open the door?" asked Iruka sadly.

There was still no response, so Iruka went to the kitchen and cooked some stuff up and went back to the Naruto's room.

"Naruto…I made some food, I'll leave it at the door if you want to eat it," said Iruka, then he left and went to his room.

It was around midnight when Iruka heard the door to Naruto's door open. He heard another door open and a few minutes later heard flushing. He must be in the bathroom, Iruka sat up for a while listening to Naruto's movement. The shower went on, then he heard it turn off again, and doors opening and closing once more. Iruka sighed and got of the bed then went to Naruto's door again and found the plate of foods empty. Iruka stared at it then smiled a little. He knocked on Naruto's door, but still no answer. Iruka sighed again, and then picked up the empty plates and left.

The next morning, Naruto still didn't come out of his room. Iruka didn't mind for a while. He just thought it was a stage, but soon, when Naruto never responded back and just remained quiet even when he came out of his room, Iruka got worried. After a month of this Iruka didn't know what to do anymore; Iruka sat on the couch with his hands against his face. The doorbell rang and he went to answer it. He opened the door and saw Kakashi standing there.

"Ka..Kakashi…" whispered Iruka as he broke into tears.

Iruka fell forward and Kakashi caught him in his arms. Kakashi helped him to the couch and put him.

"You okay?" asked Kakashi.

"You said you recommended the school for him, but it didn't help! I don't know what to do anymore…Naruto won't even talk to me…what am I suppose to do now?" asked Iruka in sorrow.

"…"

Iruka cried as Kakashi tried his best to comfort him. Hours past as it came to midnight, and Iruka fell asleep in Kakashi's arms as Kakashi lied on the couch.

"I haven't seen you cry like this in ages…" whispered Kakashi to himself.

Kakashi cuddled Iruka closer and fell asleep also.

The next came and the same routine happened, but this time Kakashi was there to help Iruka get through the day. Iruka was working in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. Kakashi got it for him and he continued to work. He stopped when he heard his name being whispered. He turned to see Sasuke standing before him.

"…" Iruka remained quiet and shocked.

"How's Naruto?" asked Sasuke.

"He…he's…I'm not really sure…" replied Iruka.

"…"

"You're the first person to come and visit him after the incident…"

"…oh…may I…go see him?"

"Sure…go right ahead…and if you can…please…help him…you were his first friend that he made, after what-"

"No…I've always been his friend…since we were children…"

"What…do you mean?"

"Nothing…I'm not his only friend…everyone at the school is worried about him…everyone knows about Kyuubi now…and they all understand. They all care for him."

Sasuke smiled a little then turned and walked upstairs to find Naruto's room. In front of Naruto's door Sasuke knocked on it, but all he heard were some rustles and then it was silent.

"Naru-chan…" whispered Sasuke as there was no response.

They were more movements, then he heard footsteps coming towards him, but the door did not open.

"…Naruto…open the door now," said Sasuke sternly, but still gentle.

The door creaked opened and Saskue saw a blur of blond hair, then his eyes met with sapphire eyes. He seemed so lonely and Sasuke reached his hand out towards Naruto, but Naruto flinched and slammed the door again. Sasuke sighed and put his hand against the cool door and started to speak.

"Why are you being like this? What happened a month ago wasn't your fault? Now stop being so childish and open the damn door Naruto," said Sasuke.

"It is my fault! Because I didn't stop Kyuubi in time! Because of that, I let so many innocent people get hurt and some even died!" yelled Naruto, who started sobbing.

Sasuke frowned then twisted the knob of the boor and opened it with great force. Naruto scooted back from the door and was now sitting on the ground. Naruto starred up at Sasuke. Sasuke looks so strong…Naruto then looked away. Sasuke bent down and sat in front of Naruto.

"You're so strong Sasuke…" whispered Naruto.

"Dobe, you're strong yourself, so stop saying that you're not!" yelled Sasuke.

"I'm not strong! You have talent! All I have is some fox demon living inside of me that's supposed to be kept a secret! You're the talented, and I'm just the secretive!"

Sasuke sighed in frustration.

"You're being stubborn," said Sasuke.

"When did you get all caring?! You don't for me at all!" yelled Naruto.

"Baka!"

Sasuke slapped Naruto on the head and Naruto sat in shock. His head lifted and his eyes met with Sasuke's.

"You're the only one I care about," said Sasuke gently.

"Liar," said Naruto.

Naruto fell forward a little and Sasuke hugged him tightly. Naruto cried onto Sasuke as he felt the warmth of Sasuke's body. His tears fell upon his shirt and Sasuke just let him cry all he wanted. He wasn't going to leave Naruto ever.

Naruto lied on the bed as Sasuke sat on the bed side. Naruto held onto Sasuke's shirt tightly like a child holding onto a mother. Sasuke watched Naruto as he slept peacefully, and saw him stir awake.

"Hey," greeted Sasuke as Naruto woke from his long sleep.

"You're still here?" asked Naruto.

"You wouldn't let go of me, how was I suppose to leave?"

"Eh?"

Sasuke pointed to Naruto's hand that held onto his shirt. Naruto saw and took his hand away quickly and pulled the blanket over his blushing face.

"Um…I'm sorry about that time in the hospital…" whispered Naruto embarrassingly.

"Oh…don't worry about it," replied Sasuke.

"…um…how's Sakura-chan?"

"She's doing fine…"

"…Sakura-chan reminds me a lot of my dead mother…"

"What?"

"Because…she's caring…and sweet…she brings back a lot of memories when she laughs…maybe that's why I had such a strong feeling for her…"

"…"

Naruto rustle inside the blanket then turned his back against Sasuke.

"Kyuubi will always be inside me," said Naruto.

"…we'll find a way," said Sasuke.

Naruto sat up and stared at Sasuke's back.

"We'll find a way to break Kyuubi from you," said Sasuke as he turned towards Naruto.

They looked at one another, their faces inching closer and closer. Their eyes half closed, each others breath they could feel upon each other. Their lips met for a gentle kiss and the night went on.
