Unwanted Chapter 8, a naruto fanfic

Sorry for the cliffy…I just noticed that I wrote both in one day and put them up at the same time it's not really a cliffy, huh? Oh well, whatever, Katya gets a little emotional in this chapter, and a line of her past is revealed!! Awesome eh? One whole line!

Unwanted

Chapter 8 – 'You are the One'

They both looked in each other's eyes; they stood 10 feet away.

"I don't want to fight you." Naruto said after a moment.

"I don't want to hear it." Katya replied.

"But…"

"I said I don't want to hear it!" Naruto moved a step backwards. "We are here to fight, nothing else!"

"Then why did she…" he thought, "Then why did she kiss me and give me that locket? She's lying…she had to be…"

"Begin." Anko said with practically no enthusiasm.

"I'll kill you if you don't fight back," she said finally, "and I mean that, Uzumaki Naruto."

"Then why?" he shouted out. "Why did you lay beside me when I was asleep, then kiss me, and give me this locket? I can't even open it but that's not the point! You were so nice to me but now you treat me like shit! I've been treated like shit all my life and now I'm being treated like it again, by the person I thought I could trust!"

He took a deep breath, "I know I haven't known you long and therefore shouldn't be jumping to conclusions, but I feel like you are something more than just someone else to treat me like nothing! I dreamt about you before I met you! I feel that we have a connection, why can't you accept that I'm not just a nobody? Why?"

"I thought you were different…" he lowered his voice, "I thought you would understand, but I guess not…"

"I do."

"What?"

"I do understand," she replied, "I understand how you feel, knowing you're unwanted, that the world doesn't want you. I know the feeling, my whole team knows the feeling. They, as well as me, have never been wanted by anyone but each other, and that was only recently that I met them."

"Why didn't you say anything before?" he asked.

"…"

"Well?"

"Are we going to stand around talking, or are we going to fight?" she looked at him evilly, with new anger in her eyes.

"Katya…"

"Die, fox!"

Cagalli and Ayame sat outside on a bench, the wind blew through their hair, and the sun's setting rays made the sky look like gold.

"Do you think Katya will be fine?" Cagalli asked suddenly. "I mean, she said that Naruto was the one, right? I don't think she'd be comfortable fighting him."

"Yeah," agreed Ayame, "she probably isn't taking it so well. How did you take your fight?"

"It was hard," she replied, "I didn't know Gaara had the side to him. I haven't seen him in a long time before this, so he might have changed, but I'm sure not for the better. His eyes were filled with bloodlust."

"So was his voice."

"Let's not talk about it," Cagalli smiled at Ayame, "How are you shoes holding up?"

"Their fine," she replied, "I mean, it was only water."

"Then why did you freak out?"

"It made me angry, that's what you need to learn, Cagalli, anger." She looked back at her friend. "Out of the three of us, you are the softest, you need to know anger."

"I do…" she replied, her smile vanished, "you have no idea how much hate I have store inside."

Ayame smiled. "Yes, I do."

"I won't lose to Naruto!" thought Katayanagi. "He's the last person I will lose to!"

(Flashback:)

"I killed them all…" the little girl thought, "Why did they have to die? I'm all alone…"

(End Flashback)

"Why is that day coming back into my head?" Katya clenched her fists. "I don't want to remember that! I hate everybody! Nobody deserves to live in my world, and it will be my world! Wait…"

"Fine!" Naruto called out. "If you're going to fight, then fight me!" he charged.

(Flashback:)

"I'm here," a hand reached out to her, "It's okay, Katya, I'm here." The face of a blonde boy appeared in front of her.

"Who are you?" Katya asked.

"My name is of no importance." He replied. "Katya, I love you. But please, listen, let me tell you that the road you trod might get you hurt, your friends might even die."

"What do you mean? Why will they die?"

"Because," he replied, "if you take the wrong path on the way you are going, everybody will die."

"How?"

"You have to find out," he replied.

"Tell me your name!" she demanded.

"Uzumaki Naruto."

(End Flashback)

"Uzumaki Naruto," she thought as he was charging towards her, "you gave me strength, and it was only a dream. What I don't get is; how did I know your name when we hadn't even met yet? That night I found you, too. Apparently you had a dream similar to mine, it was about me, and you hadn't met me yet then either."

"You are the one."

He kept charging, then pulled out a kunai.

"You will win."

"Fight back!" he almost covered the long 10 feet of distance between them. (A/N: I'm staying true to anime, 10 feet always seems like 100)

"I cannot fight you."

"I said fight back!" the kunai was inches from her throat, and moving fast. She closed her eyes, knowing he was probably going to kill her. She felt a stinging pain, but not in her neck, that would have instantly killed her. The pain came from her left shoulder. "Why didn't you dodge at least?"

"…"

"I didn't want to," he replied, "why didn't you dodge?"

"Because," she replied, "I can't fight you."

"I thought…"

"I think," Cagalli said suddenly, "I think that Katya will be fine…"

As they both looked up into the sky, and it seemed to smile. The sun was almost set, and after Katya's match there was only one more.

Katya dropped to her knees; the kunai was still in her shoulder.

"Can you continue?" Anko asked and Katya shook her head. "Alright then, Uzumaki Naruto is the winner!"

"Naruto," Katya walked up to him as they waited for the opponents of the next match to enter the arena, "When we started, I thought that because you are the One, I have to beat you, but at the end I know that even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to, that's why I didn't fight back."

"…" he didn't respond.

"Please forgive me," she said after a moment, "I should have fought anyway…"

"No," he replied, "you chose not to fight me and that's ok, and though I don't know what you mean by 'you are the One', I know that you had good reason not to fight me."

"Thank you," she smiled truly, something she had never done before, "Thank you, Uzumaki Naruto."

"Alright!" Anko declared, "The last match is Aburame Shino vs. Shikamitsu Rikku. Begin!"

Shino didn't move, but Rikku charged.

"A straight forward attack?" he thought then noticed something very strange.

He dodged everyone of her taijutsu strikes with ease.

"Why is she fighting?" he thought. "She's blind."

Not that big a cliffy but a cliffy's a cliffy! Anyway please review and remember to tell me who you like Sakura paired up with, I need input. I could put her with Lee-san, Kakashi-sensei (not many people like that pairing), or almost anyone else. So please R&R!
