Previously on ANM--
"How about this... We split up, that way, Naruto and Sasuke can do their thing, Gaara can tourtue Neji, Kouta can go pick up losers, like always, and I can go into a corner and read! See that way everybody wins!"
"NO! Kitaru if you want to split us up into pairs, then YOU have to stay with Kouta!"
"I wanna to a place where I can say That I'm all right and I'm staying there with you I wanna know if there could be anyway That there's no fight, and I'm safe and sound with you"
"Is it really OK?" Asked Sasuke "It's never OK for me" Naruto answered back,
"What's got into me?" Sasuke wondered.
"I get lost again" Naruto finished "Is it really OK?" Doubted Sasuke "It's never going to be" Said Naruto his gaze left Sasuke's dark eyes,
And I will search harder to realize the things in front of my eyes"
"I wanna go to a place where I can say That I'm all right and I'm staying there with you" They finished with a last kiss, and their audiance cheered. "Well, that wasted the time, Come on Sasuke!" Naruto asked, dragging Sasuke onto the ride.
"Uh, Gaara what's going on"
"Why are you guys still following him"
"Your boy would fetch a pretty penny too"
"I'll explain more later, there are people listening, okay." He was blushing slightly, so Neji smirked and pulled him back for another kiss, this time more longer and deeper.
When they broke for air, Neji started, "I don't care right now, what secrets you have, I just hope that in time you will be able to trust me enough to tell me. I lo-like you, and I'll wait."
"I'm not walking away, I am simply going to find Naruto and the others so I can finaly get the fuck out of this hellhole. Then I'm going to retreat into my lovely dark, cold room and shoot myself for ever agreeing to come. Now does that answer your mother fucking question?" Kouta paused, something had changed. his voice was more agressive, and he seemed to have an undertone of hate laced within it. There was the definate coldness and the harsh words were covered in ice. "Besides, this place is hurting my head. It stinks of hate." Kitaru finally looked back at the boy after they were in the park, alittle ways from the fair. Kouta gasped, the other one looked different. His hair was spiker in the back, his eyes changed colors, and his nails grew sharper. His eyes glowed green/purple. "Finally! Kita-channever lets me out. It'ss always 'Noo, you'll kill someone then I 'll be in jailand Naruto will try to beat the crap out of meeee"
"Who the hell are you?" Asked Kouta.
Chapter 8-The Tale Begins To Unfold
"Who the hell are you?" Asked Kouta.
"Who the hell Am I? Hmm, I wonder," 'Kitaru' smiled, and turned facing the fair once more. 'What a horrible place, I wonder why Naruto wanted to come in the first place.'
"Answer Me!" yelled Kouta impatient to find out what happened to his 'Kita.'
Kitaru's head snapped back and he glanced toward Kouta. "Oh, that's right you're still there..." 'How should I explain without giving too much away?'
"Of course I am, Now who the hell are you?!"
"Ah, I got it!" Kitaru grinned and clapped his hands together, gathering a weird look from Kouta, but before Kouta could comment on it, Kitaru spoke, "How much do you know about Kitaru?"
"Wha.. What kind of question is that?"
"Okay so not much. I guess Neko was right you're not worth it..." 'Kitaru' went back to pondering.
"Kita-" Kouta tried again.
"I'm not Kitaru, so don't call me that name." He threatened, glaring at Kouta. "My name is Nikimara. I am Kitaru's other half."
'Other half?' Kouta thought, he looked over Kita- no Nikimara. 'Well, I guess it's possible.'
"I'm sorry but baby, you gotta buy a drink before you oogle me." Nikimara's voice snapped him back to attention. "Good you're listening to me again. Anyway, I stand by what I said earlier, Kitaru was right, you're not worth it."
"What? Why whould you say that?" They were circleing around the small clearing facing each other.
"Have you ever tried to get to know more about Kitaru other than his body? Have you ever had any need for my Neko other than a toy you could fuck whenever you felt like? HAVE YOU EVER CARED FOR KITARU AS A PERSON THAN SOMETHING YOU COULD LOOK AT AN PLAY WITH WHENEVER YOU FELT LIKE IT?!" Nikimara's voice was raising with every word. His eyes were turning red and he started to shake. "No you haven't. You've given me no reason to believe that you'd be a good mate for Kitaru." Suddenly Nikimara dissapeared. Kouta sensed a aura behind him and turned, only to get smacked across his face by Nekomara. He flew across the clearing before his reflexes kicked in and he landed at the farthest corner from Nikimara.
Kouta felt the blood trickle down his cheek. He stood wiping it off, glancing at his hand at the red smear. He looked back up and saw that Nikimara was coming closer. He was walking slowly toward Kouta, his eytes, blazing with anger.
Out of nowhere, a soccer ball came flying throught the air and hit Nikimara in the back of his head. Down the terrifying blond went and he reserfaced looking more, normal. His eyes, were back to they're normal shade and his hair wasn't spiky anymore and he didn't ahve the look of death in his eyes anymore.
"Ow that hurt..." Kouta's eyes widened, it was Kitaru. Kitaru looked around, "Um, where the hell am I?" He glared when his eyes landed on Kouta. "Kouta, what just happened?"
"Who is Nikimara?" was all that the other boy could say. Kitaru's eyes widened and he panicked. His emotions flashed across his face, and kouta enjoyed the blonde's obvious distress, but was seriously worried because his Kita, just fainted.
Sighing, Kouta got up and walked toward Kitaru. Hooking his hands under Kita's knees and his shoulders, he lifted and started to walk back to the fair,carrying his princess.
Once he got there Sasuke, Naruto, Gaara, and Neji were waiting for them. Naruto instantly started grilling him about the state Kitaru was in.
"What the hell did you do you creepy bastard?" Naruto asked. His eyes were angry.
"Who is Nikimara?" asked Kouta, ignoring Naruto's question. Both Naruto and Gaara's eyes widened. Naruto was the first to react,
"Uhh, Thanks for the date Sasu! I've just remembered I have to go home to... uhh, ummm.. Shave my cat. Yeah! Bye!!" Naruto gave a quick grin, then stole Kitaru from Kouta's arms and ran to the car with Gaara right at his heels.
The three left in the dust coughed, then looked at one another, "That was interesting."
:Naruto's house:
"Goddamn, Cat what the hell?" Gaara shook Kitaru Awake. Wakeing, Kitaru wiped his eyes.
"What the hell happened? Did I fall asleep?"
"Kitaru, How does Kouta know abotu Niki?" Kitaru's eyes widened.
"I THOUGHT THAT WE ALL AGREED TO KEEP THEM UNDER WRAPS KITARU, HOW COULD YOU TELL HIM??" yelled Naruto. His eyes full of anger and disapointment.
"I DIDN'T!!" The other two paused waiting for him to continue. It was out oif charater for Kitaru to be yelling like this, plus his accent was back, so they were pissed but still worried about their friend. "Kouta and I got into another fight, and I snapped. My head huret so much I asked if we could leave and half-way through our walk, Niki took over. And they fought, and Kouta was bleeding. I don't know what happened that we reverted, but something did and I blacked out."
"You didn't tell?"
"No why would I do that? I don't want to move again." Kitaru started to cry. Gaara threw a towel at him,
"I think we will have to." Both blondes looked up at him, "I saw Kazil and he said that the boss wants us." They all looked down and Kitaru started to cry harder. He may act tougher then the others, but in putting up that facade he was breaking himself.
When Kitaru finally pulled himself together, he started, "No, We'll stay. Sasuke and Neji mean too much to you to leave again. Plus they'll want some sort of information for this incident. We can't leave your friends."
"Kitaru, where are you going with this?" Gaara asked his eyes full of suspicion.
"No where. Right now we'll just have to wait for them to make the first move. Kazil might be pissed to know he didn't rile us up though. So lay low for a while and I need to tell Dad and papa that I can't go into school for a few days." He hastily added at teh look on their faces, "I goning to stay instead of running again, so don't worry, I'll be back in school, just tell everyone I got sick from bad salmon and went to the doctor, okay?" They nodded satisfied with his explaination.
Naruto looked up, " You know (1) (When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own.."
Gaara picked up on the song, and their voices blended together, " I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain till it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong"
Kitaru began teh next part alone, "And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own" All three were facing the window that looked over the neighbor hood in the general direction of Sasuke's and Neji's houses.
"I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain till it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong" They allsang, Kitaru and Naruto quieting for the next part so Gaara could sing on his own.
"I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today"
They finish together in perfect harmony. "I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain till it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong"
