For Lost Time-Chapter 2

"So she's been like this for a while now?" Asked Kakashi-sensei.

"Yeah, since she found out last night." Naruto answered.

They were speaking about Akane who had barred herself in Naruto's room upon hearing that her whole clan had been killed many years ago. Naruto had tried to talk to her but all he got from her were yells for him to leave her the hell alone. With no other choices he contacted his old sensei, Kakashi Hatake.

"Hm…I guess we'll have to find a way to get on." Said Kakashi, standing up and walking towards the room.

"I don't think that will be too easy." Said Naruto following Kakashi. "It feels like she's got something heavy jammed against the door."

"Well, I don't think it'll be much of a problem b for me." He replied boastfully. With little effort put into it he turned the doorknob and pushed but it didn't open. He pushed again with greater force but it wouldn't open.

"Told ya." Naruto said smugly.

Kakashi stared back, trying not to say anything else. He thought, he didn't want to use the chidori because he might her the girl inside. But there had to be someway to get in. Then it hit him.

"Hey Naruto."

"Huh?"

"Don't you have a window?"

Naruto opened the window from the outside. He saw that in his room, everything had been pushed against the door, including an extremely heavy book case (books and all), that not even he could move. He also saw Akane sitting in the fetal position, facing the corner.

"Akane…" Said Naruto, reaching forward and gently placing his hand on her shoulder.

She quickly turned and slashed with her demonic claws. She looked strange. The small scar at the corner of one of her eyes was now a large intricate red marking that criss-crossed the right side of her face. Her teeth were sharp and fang-like while her serene grey eyes were replaced with flaming red orbs with slits for pupils. She was consumed in a cloud of black chakra so powerful that it left swirling burn marks on the wooden floors.

Naruto stumbled backwards, four deep cuts left in his chest. He fell back onto his elbows yelling out in pain, his chest bleeding heavily. Kakashi rushed in upon hearing Naruto's yell to find the distressing scene. Akane noticed that she and Naruto were no longer alone and fled through the window. Naruto stood, ready to jump out the window but Kakashi stopped him.

"Don't waste your time, Naruto." He said plainly.

"I'm not wasting my time! I need to find her! She might hurt someone!" He protested.

"No, her demon will seek solitude. She also has a very strong seal keeping it within her. Going to find her now would simply drive it farther away. Besides, even if you did catch up with her, you could anger it further."

Naruto could not dispute. He made sense.

"Just wait a few hours and then try looking for her. I don't think by what you've told me that she will leave the village."

It was several hours later, the sun was setting in the west and the sky was painted pastel shades of pink and orange. Naruto had been searching for a while now to find Akane when he finally caught site of her atop the mountain onto which the faces of the hokages were carved.

"Akane…" He called softly, approaching her from behind. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah, I'm ok I guess." She replied quietly. She sat on the very edge, her chin resting on her knees and the baggy black jacket resting on the ground next to her.

Naruto sat down next to her and asked, "If you haven't seen your family since birth how did you end up with the coat?"

"I lied when I said that, I saw my brother when I was five. He was returning from a mission and mother recognized him. I only saw him for a little while and when he started to leave I cried so he gave me the coat to remember him by…" After that she simply trailed off, tears in her eyes.

Naruto placed his arm around Akane. "Akane, don't cry…I've felt alone all of my life but now I have some one who understands my pain." She slowly rested her head on his shoulder as the sun went down in the distance…

-End Chapter One-
