Hey, sorry it's so short, 485 words or summin, it's miniscule, but it's kinda just like a link chapter.

Disclaimer - Don't own Naruto :(

Thank you all my lovely reviewers, they made me happy

Enjoy.


Guardian Angel – Chapter 6

– Days After

Naruto's legs had fallen asleep, but he didn't notice; His mind was as numb as his limbs. The horrific events of the night kept replaying themselves in his mind.

He was staring at the floor; his face was sticky with all the tears he had shed. I suppose I should be going to training. I wonder if they'll notice if I'm not there. Of course not, who would care about filth like me?


(Day after previous chapter)

Sasuke and Sakura where stood by the bridge where they had agreed to meet. Sasuke was getting fed up. Why isn't Naruto here yet, I was going to ask him to come to Ichiraku's with me. He huffed angrily.

Kakashi appeared with a puff, hand raised in greeting. I hope he's okay, being later than Kakashi can't be a good sign.

They waited there for a while.

"Um…Kakashi-Sensei, do you think Naruto-Kun is okay?" Sakura asked tentatively.

"Well he didn't look to good yesterday. Perhaps he's ill. He's knows where to find us if he does come though" and with that he turned to go to the training ground.

The raven headed boy looked up to the sky, you better be okay, dobe.


For three days the blonde haired boy stayed like that, his blue eyes dull.

He drifted in and out of sleep. His slumber was filled with nightmares, that left him shivering, but his waking moments were filled with the memories, in his unresponsive, almost vegetated, state, he didn't know which was worse.

He imagined getting up, going to training, doing normal, everyday things. In reality, he stayed on the floor, the images of that night playing trough his mind like a video stuck on repeat, crying a fresh flood of tears.


Iruka was more than worried. Three days, and no-one had seen Naruto. Kakashi was trying to calm him down.

"We'll go and see him now then, but you know Naruto, he's probably going to be digging into some ramen." He said kindly.

"Yeah, I know, I still want to see him though, if just to check that he's okay."

And so together, they made their way to his apartment.

It took them no time at all to get there. Raising his hand, Iruka knocked on the door. No reply. Raising his hand, he knocked again, harder.

The minutes ticked by. As time passed and no hyperactive blonde answered the door, Iruka really began to panic.

"I'm going in." he said, and slowly, he pushed the unlocked door open.


Naruto heard the knocks, but they didn't register in his mind.

He heard the door open. He heard the faltering footsteps as they made their way to his room. But there was nothing that he could do; he couldn't make his body move.

No, I can't let them see me this way. He thought faintly.

He heard their shocked gasps.
