(Time-Skip, 2 months later)
It had been 2 months, and was not October. There had been a bit of snow back in August, which was quite odd considering that Fire Country was one of the hottest during the Summer. But, then again sometimes Autumn came quick, and with it, brought a white blanket of wonders, and hope of school closing. Nevertheless, Naruto and Sakura's relationship had slightly blossomed a bit more. Naruto usually had Sakura over at his place for the night, unless she had something important to do that is. But other than that, Naruto usually had Sakura over at his apartment. At times they slept together, but it was usually when they felt that one needed the other, sometimes after experiencing déjà vu.
But, other than that when they slept separate Naruto took the couch and, even though she protested constantly, Sakura was left with his bedroom. Once, Naruto had snuck into the bedroom and gotten in bed with her intentionally, and when she had awoken, he usually ended up with a small bump on the head after, and then Sakura would kiss it. She enjoyed sleeping in the same bed as him, it was no wrong. She understood his needs from all the loneliness he had once talked to her about, but on a deeper basis. He had said;
Since childhood… I've been alone. No one loved me, no one showed any sign of affection for me nor did anyone even wanna adopt me as their own. The pain I experienced… it was like being stabbed in the heart over and over. And when I met my lil' bro… well I was more than overjoyed. I taught him just about everything I knew. Sports was one thing, chakra control… but, there are many things that I still know that he doesn't. But what I'm saying, is that my life seemed almost complete when we met up. Having someone close to you but not even knowing that they're out there is a really painful thing to take in. Especially if you remember them from a long time ago. It's true, I've had that experience, and there were some experiences with you that I've had before, Sakura. Remember… when we'd get those head aches? I… kinda remember something, and I'm not sure if this is right, but it had to do with… someone I once knew. When I was young. …I'm getting off topic, aren't I? Sorry… anyway, when I experienced loneliness, it was like I was in the corner of a dark room and…
He would explain it to her as lucid as he was able to. He would often tell her at times when he experienced déjà vu. She would also do that same with him. She'd tell him about how no one really liked her when she was young, and how she was such a fan girl over Sasuke. She had said;
Well… believe it or not, but I used to be a fan girl. I'd follow, drool, squeal and… do just about anything when Sasuke did something, like cut a piece of meat. Gah, it was horrible! The guy didn't even like me even one bit! He would usually talk to me when he was either busy and didn't want to be bothered, while he was training, or when I had gone too far and he told me to stop. That's when people began to dislike me because I had a short temper and I was known for exploding in rage, even at the tiniest of reasons. I never made many friends… Tenten, on occasions talked to me, but they were really short conversations. Ino had the most popularity amongst us all. Always in the spot-light, shining brightly, and then we became enemies because of Sasuke, and I became an out-cast. My parents had died a few years later and I was stuck for a moment. That was until Lady Tsunade had come and gave me support. It was at the weirdest of times too. Tsunade had been founded by a man named Jiraiya, and Tsunade had said that there had been a pupil of his who had accompanied him. He was loud, obnoxious and had the will of a stone building. Yet… he protected Tsunade and risked his life for her. And when I was sitting on my bed, crying at night sometimes, I would often think about that pupil. How he had a strong will, it became really interesting to me, and when I asked Tsunade, she said he was young, but then again she said I'd be a perfect match, as in couple for him… now I'm getting off topic! HAHA! But… yeah… an out cast because of my stupid attitude. Hey! I'm kinda like you Naruto! I was lonely and no one really liked me, and I had no parents, but I still managed to buckle up and make it through life!
It was true… and it became even more evident that they could relate to one another by their past. It gave them a stronger bond, and a reason to be together as a couple on the horizon. Though, Sakura still had nightmares of a monster chasing after her, and though she never re-called any of it from her past. She often thought about the future, and if her dreams were telling her something she hoped they were wrong and it was just as it was, a dream. Naruto reassured her however. He would protect her from this monster if it existed, he promised it. And this reassurance usually led to a small cuddle, or even a peck on the lips. It was weird, because they both still had the feeling of knowing each other once before, however they could not place it and usually discarded the idea. It would come back again though, but they both ignored it and enjoyed the time they shared together, cuddling, kissing a bit and even taking naps on the sofa in Naruto's apartment, as it was rare that they even went back to Sakura's place. So scarce that Sakura had actually thought about selling the house. What was the point in having it if she was going to spend her time with the blond at his apartment anyway? Besides, his apartment was way cozier than that ratted, aged, creaking, creepy house.
It was early in the morning, the gray clouds covered the village, darkening it. Snow fell silently on the houses and streets, the temperature reaching to below a very chilly five degrees! The perfect weather for cuddling in bed. Frost formed along the windows of the houses, snow hardened and thickened with one more layer after another. The West side of the village usually received more snow than the rest. It was weird because one would think the village received a fair amount of snow but actually there were certain placed when it snowed longer, and maybe harder. But, if one village was unable to be accessed by a horse carriage or anything else, the same would be on the other sides, North, South and East.
Within one of the apartments on the West side of town, the windows were dark and frosted over in a crystalline pattern. Within, it was quite chilly as the heat was not turned on, probably to avoid saving the heat bill. It was silent, one could hear a pin drop if it was tossed onto the tile in within the walk-in kitchen. Down the hall, a faint red aura could be seen, glowing softly from a room that was located two turns to the right and into another door. Inside, there were two people. Both were within deep sleep, however heat could be felt radiating from the larger figure. This was because of an ominous-looking crimson aura that covered his entire body.
However, the partner he was sleeping with did not awaken despite this feeling, for the heat it provided was perfect to keep her in the state of deep sleep. The whisker lines on the sides of his cheeks had darkened to charcoal, his eyes seemed to narrow, as well as his nails increasing in length. Upon his naked chest were black tattoo like images of foreign writing scribbled on his skin, almost to the point of completely covering his torso, biceps, forearms and then halted at his wrist with a circular ring. The markings even stretched down to his back, his legs and stopped at his ankles. It was the same for his neck area as well. There was a reason for this, a sign of maturity was involved in this matter of markings. The inscriptions were based upon seven phases, all collaborating in synchronization. Each phase categorized certain changes within the body. And each seal was placed at certain parts of his body, indicated both the order of the phase and the effect: (If you are Christian you should know these. I shall do these phases my way as I see it, no need for worry, I worship no evil, as faith is my shield. I worship only God. Thank you.)
Phase of Superbia
Phase of Avaritia
Phase of Invidia
Phase of Ira
Phase of Acedia
Phase of Gullia
Phase of Luxuria
The strange tattoos placed at the parts of his body glowed ominously. His time of demon childhood was now over, and it was time for him to experience adulthood. With the sense of a mate nearby, the first phase; The Phase of Pride began glowing strongly in violet. His body reacted as a smile forced it's way to his black lined lips, and his black lined eyes held a sense of pride. He had a mate, and in this pride, he awoke. His slitted eyes black pupils and crimson red iris scanned the room. Sitting up, he looked to his side, seeing her in a state of sleep. A sensation washed over him, his crimson aura ears twitching as he held his head high. He let out a deep chuckle from the back of his throat. Getting out of bed, clad in his boxers, the ring of Superbia glowing a strong lily around his neck, he slowly slipped away into the living room. Opening the door, he stepped outside, the feel of cold wind upon his half-naked body send goose bumps to his skin.
The condensation of his own breath was as lucid as the crystalline windows of his apartment. He stretched his muscles and popped his neck, energy had begun to swarm through his body. His perfectly cut body was live and ready to start the day. Going back inside, he checked the time. It was 5: 36 in the morning, and what made this day better? The fact that it was Saturday and there was no school! He looked in the mirror and grinned with pride.
"Ahh, I'm so sexy," he said and flexed his muscles. He looked down the hall and popped his back, "hmm… maybe I should make Sakura a bit of breakfast…" he suggested to himself. Looking at the thin lining of aura and the few bubbles that floated about, he groaned in annoyance, "alright fox, you're not holding your end of the bargain we made," he said. The thin line suddenly disappeared.
"Much better," he young and deep voice had returned to it's smooth tone instead of a low demonic one.
"Whatever… also… Happy Birthday…" Kyuubi said with a menacing grin. Naruto smiled!
"Oh yeah! I turn nineteen! I nearly forgot!" he mentally shouted! His birthday was not celebrated, because it was the day of his conception and the day in which Kyuubi, the Demon King, had been sealed within him. The fox had nine-tails and a certain disposition by being sealed within the blond. But, Kyuubi and Naruto had somewhat gotten used to each other over the years. Kyuubi had once told Naruto that he saved him from being killed by a hoard of villagers when he was young. Naruto could believe it since he now lived a cursed life of being a half-demon. The seal that kept Kyuubi sealed within had cracked and the beasts chakra would continuously leak, causing Naruto to undergo changes to make him a half-demon, even though he was not of demon blood.
"Well… I hope you have a good one Kit. Now, get to makin' your mate the breakfast you promised. And don't forget to show some pride, when doing it!" Kyuubi said with a menacing grin Naruto seemed not to notice.
"That's weird… cause I feel like that… like it's an unrestrained feeling or sense of pride. I feel awesome because of Sakura! Kinda… like she's my trophy girl." Naruto explained. It wasn't something Kyuubi had not known would come. The beast had been awaiting this moment for nearly 19 years. However, he did not want to tell Naruto about these phases. The blond would have to see for himself what it was like for a half-demon to go through the phases of adulthood. It was perfectly normal though, and Kyuubi was sure Naruto would enjoy many of the moments created by the seven phases. He would sit back, and enjoy.
Naruto sighed and walked into the bedroom. Sakura was sleeping silently, and the blond couldn't be more proud of having her with him. He strolled over and climbed back in bed. Stroking her pink hair, re-calling a lot of the bonding they'd been doing over the past months. He had enjoyed it, and it was one of the most memorable times he could ever find happiness in actually remembering the past. Naruto looked out of the window, the gray and dull sky almost making it seem like there was no world out there. Frost consumed the windows, the bed was warm, it was Saturday, and it ultimately was his birthday, not to leave out the fact that the blond was in bed with his mate and there were few problems with their relationship. They hadn't experienced any of those headaches, although a lot of déjà vu, and to top the icing with a cherry, Naruto was sure they'd, at least, get more intimate over the time they were together, which excited him to no end!
"Sakura…" he said with a sigh and pecked her on the cheek. She nuzzled in closer to him, feeling his sweet kiss upon her rosy cheek. Wrapping an arm around her, he pulled her in closer for her reward of noticing his existence. This was probably one of those times when Naruto could actually feel her close to him, the closest they've been able to get at least. Nuzzling up to his neck, the blond smiled and closed his eyes, "I'm so proud to have you… with me. You're like my precious trophy… shining with gold and glory. My victory, the symbol of my victorious triumph, is all you Sakura. Soon, my victory will be your love… very soon," said Naruto. As the inscription around his neck shone around his neck, the sense of pride became stronger. He then decided he would wait… wait for her to awaken, and if he went to sleep, well then that was better than being awake. He decided to test himself.
*5 Hours later…*
The sun had come up, the clouds cast a gray glow on the village as people bustled, even out in the cold. in the apartment, Naruto had fallen asleep, his neck still burning purple, however he awoke instantly! Sitting up slowly, he looked down at Sakura, who was still asleep. Looking out the window, energy returning to him once again, the blond stretched and scratched his back. Climbing out of bed, clad in his striped pattern boxers or orange, black and red, he made his way to the kitchen. He'd cook something good for her. Fishing for a carton of eggs, a box of bacon and grabbing the bread on the counter, he began preparing her meal. It wasn't long until the smell of bacon simmering in the pan attracted his customer out. He always grinned every time he saw her in her pink undies and bra. It was a sign of how close they had gotten, and that was of more pride than he could imagine. He growled at her, licking his lips.
"Morning babe," Naruto greeted, "fixin' ya some breakfast. How'd you sleep last night?" He asked. She cocked her eyebrow at his greeting. Someone was in a good mood.
"Morning muscles," she giggled, "I slept good, you're such a heater! And why are you just making me breakfast?" she questioned. He turned and grinned while flexing a little.
"Because I can, it's my apartment, and you're just about that stage in being my official girl friend. So why not?" Naruto replied. She thought for a moment, and shrugged, walking over she wrapped her arms around his hardened torso.
"Have you been working out again?" she giggled.
"Well you should know, you saw me sweating up a storm and demanded that I stop working out and that you get a chance to feel my chest. Did ya forget?" Naruto chuckled. Sakura thought.
"Maybe… although I remember the sweaty chest part, the whimpering and the fact that I saw a pep rally going on in your pants," she replied. Blushing, Naruto chuckled. She saw his tattoos. They looked ominous and it slightly frightened her.
"Where did you get these tattoo's?" Sakura asked. Naruto looked at himself and cocked his head to the side.
"I don't really know," he shrugged, "do you like 'em?" he asked. Sakura had to admit… while she tolerated some tattoo's, this was a bit much. But, that usually depended on who they were on. Since Naruto had a golden body, perfectly toned muscle and a few piercings, she thought they were great additions, even though some of them creeped her out.
"Mind turning around?" the pinkette asked. Naruto did as told and turned around, the black ink covering some parts of his torso. It was then that she noticed a few more piercings besides his ears. Crossing her arms, she tapped her foot, "you got your right nipple pierced? Don't you think that's a little gaudy?" she asked. Naruto shrugged.
"No… besides, I was bored, you were out shopping with Tenten and I decided to go do something. Found a parlor and got my nipple pierced but some chick," Naruto explained. Sakura's eyebrow twitched as soon as she heard the word "chick".
"She didn't do anything to you… did she?" Sakura's tone rising. Naruto sweat-dropped.
"No! She was probably thirty years old! Although, she did say that there was a discount if I got myself a dick piercing…" Naruto recalled. Sakura's face turned red, "whoa there baby! Just calm down! I told her I wasn't going to do anything else! I swear!" Naruto waved his hands in defense! She eyed him.
"Are you sure?" she questioned. Her nodded repeatedly!
"Yeah yeah yeah! I mean, of course I did-I-I-I mean of course I'm sure!" he stuttered with his words. Sakura found something fishy about him. The blond was sweating a little too much for him to be telling the truth.
"Where else did you get pierced?" she demanded to know. Naruto sweat-dropped.
"I told you, no where else Sakura, baby, c'mon. Don't ya believe me?" Naruto questioned. She sighed and then smiled.
"…okay… I believe you. Now lean your tall butt down here and give me a good-morning kiss and hug," she said. Naruto did as told and kissed her lips and then hugged her, "AHA!" Sakura found something! "You DID get more than one piercing! …oh my gosh… you got you're the whole back of YOUR EARS PIERCED!?" the pinkette nearly shouted! The back of his ears were lined with golden and silver earrings, all the way to the peak.
"Eh! Sakura! Baby! Calm down!" Naruto said waving his hands in defense! Sakura sighed, she was going to blow a gasket.
"Well you didn't tell me, and I should would've liked to know!" Sakura replied. Naruto cocked his eyebrow.
"Well I don't think I need to tell you Sakura. I'm a big boy now…" Naruto replied. He was right, but Sakura still had her own opinion of the situation.
"I know… but sometimes I think you go a little over board. I mean… your nipple!?" she sighed and shook her head.
"I know, sexy isn't it? I know you'd like to lick that. Besides, I'm REALLY proud of them!" Naruto stuck his tongue out and teased her. She cocked her eyebrow.
"Proud? Why? It's just a piece of metal inside your skin…" Sakura replied. Naruto gave her a certain glance.
"Really? Well I can't expect you to understand pinky," he replied. She hit his chest playfully, causing him to chuckle and return back to what he was doing. Sakura sat on the couch and watched him cook. She found a few new names for Naruto while staring at him.
"One lean piece of meat with a slice of beef cake and golden sirloin sauce," she said. He over heard her and lifted his arms and flexed.
"There's more where that came from," he chuckled and went back to cooking. Sakura laughed as a blush crossed her face. The blond served her breakfast and she ate with delight, feeding him as well.
"Good isn't it?" he asked. She smiled and nodded.
"The best I've had in a long time, on a Saturday morning with snow outside," she replied, "I don't think it can get any better than this." the pinkette looked at him in admiration. Naruto winked at her and cleared his throat.
"Guess what today is?"
"What?" Sakura asked while chewing.
"I'm turnin' nineteen today!" he shouted! Sakura gasped and began choking on her food. Naruto patted her back and she swallowed, her eyes tearing a bit.
"You are!?" Sakura gasped, her glossy eyes shimmering. Naruto nodded. She didn't know it was his birthday! She immediately began to panic! "Oh my gosh! I didn't know! There's nothing planned! I have to get you a present! I-" her lips were sealed with his finger.
"Sakura, it's perfectly fine," he began, "I have you… and since then, you're the best present I could've asked for. There's nothing I could have that could ever replace you. You're like a golden trophy, beautiful and always shining with happiness." his husky voice sent shivers down her spine, "you're the best thing to ever happen to me, and alone that's worth more than anything." the blond said. Sakura's eyes shimmered brightly.
"Oh Naruto…" Sakura whispered. He smiled at her, and in that moment Sakura scoot closer to him and gave him a tender hug.
"Dawe!" Naruto awed with a grin.
"Happy Birthday Naruto." Sakura wished.
"Thanks Sakura! I'm glad we can be together on my birthday! Why don't we get showers, dressed and go do somethin'." He suggested. Sakura agreed to his gesture. She took her shower first, courtesy of Naruto's kindness, and then Naruto after. Naruto stayed in the bathroom while Sakura dried off in the bedroom. It was cold today, but Sakura wanted to look her best. She had brought all of her clothes, make-up, jewelry and just about anything she could grab to the apartment. She wondered how much the house would sell for, and her guess was around half it's original price. It wasn't much, being that the house was in shambles and deteriorating. Someone could find that spot useful and build a new house instead!
Saving the idea for later, Sakura picked out a nice pair of jeans and a long sleeved, pink, shirt with a few frills and puffy wrist holes. With a headband in her hair, pulling back her hair. She included a few ornaments. A red beaded bracelet, and to top it off, a little blush. Combing her fingers through her hair and fluffing it out, she smiled. Just then, she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in Naruto!" she giggled. The door opened and Sakura cocked her eyebrows in like. Naruto wore a, fishnet muscle shirt with orange pants, black wrist bands, a silver chain hanging from his waist and a pair of black boots, a dog tag, and his headband, "someone's ready for Halloween," she giggled. Naruto cocked his eyebrow and groaned.
"Ahh, c'mon Sakura. I try looking good and all I hear is a costume comment?" the blond sighed and dropped his head. Sakura laughed!
"Just kidding Naruto!" she replied, "you look very sexy! And I love the fishnet muscle shirt and the boots, the wrist bands are a nice touch too," Sakura complimented. The blond grinned. Sakura noticed how his tattoo's slightly stood out less, except for the ones on his arms, "well, at least your torso is slightly covered. Honestly did you even get those tattoo's intentionally?" Sakura questioned. Naruto shrugged.
"I dunno… they were just there when I woke up this morning," he replied. Sakura thought, and noticed the ring around his neck sporting a purple glow.
"And what's with the one sporting a purple glow around your neck?" Sakura questioned.
"Really?" the blond asked and looked in the mirror, "oh! Hey! Look at that! Sweet!" he chuckled and stroked the glowing violet tattoo. As he did, his feeling of pride hit him like a brick! Naruto shuddered and looked at Sakura. The girl cocked her eyebrow, Naruto's eyes staring straight at her, "did I tell you how proud I am to be your guy?" he asked. Sakura was taken back a little by the random comment, but she smiled.
"Yes, yes you did Naruto. Very well put too," she replied with another giggle. Naruto shook his head.
"But I feel it wasn't enough. What I'm feeling right now is… unrestrained, a sense of pure accomplishment, self-achievement, and the awesomeness of victory baby," he said and wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up. He turned around and walked back a bit, their noses touching before he fell back on the bed. Sakura laughed as he gave her ticklish kisses on her neck, and few tickles here and there. "You're one of a kind Sakura. The best!"
"You flatter me too much foxy. You know that?" Sakura asked. Her response was a purr and a whimper from him, "OHHHH! SO CUTE!" she squealed! Naruto sweat-dropped. She always liked it when he purred and, or, whimpered for her. "C'mon Mr. Foxy! Let's go out for a walk!" she said. Naruto shook his head.
"Gonna have to wrap a collar around me for that babe. Now… for the finishing touch…" she said. His words gave her a sneaky idea.
"We'll see about that…"
Naruto looked through the drawers and nightstands.
"What are you looking for?" Sakura asked. Naruto kept looking and then replied;
"I'm looking for my… aha! Here they are!" he said and took out a pair of adaptalite, orange framed, black lens, metallic sunglasses. Putting them on he looked at Sakura and grinned.
"Ooh! Those are nice! Although, please tell me you're not going for the gangster look… I just can't see that happening between us," she said. Naruto laughed and grabbed her hand.
"Well, it's not like I'm… well, I am Sex crazed, but I'm not going to do that just yet. I can wait until you're ready. That's what separates me from a gangsta…" the blonde replied, "and plus I don't do drugs or any of that shit." he added. She sighed.
"You're so respectful of me and my person," Sakura said. Nodding, Naruto grabbed their jackets. His being the trench coat he usually wore to school, and Sakura her giant pink one that made her look like a roly-poly, as Naruto put it.
"There's my roly-poly." Naruto laughed!
"Shut up!" Sakura hissed! Naruto chuckled and put his gloves on, "need help?" he asked as he saw her slightly struggling. Sakura sighed.
"I swear, this jacket makes it so hard to put these things on." she groaned. Naruto took the pink mittens and put them over her hands, and under the wrist hole of the jacket.
"C'mon roly-poly, let's go." he grinned, only to receive a smack upside the head, "ow! Damn!" he groaned rubbing the back of his head. Sakura winked and tossed the scarf around her neck and grabbed his hand. Stepping outside into the cold, Naruto locked the door. Looking down, he saw a sheet of black ice. "Watch it Sakura, there's black ice." he mumbled. Sakura didn't seem to hear him due to her ear muffs and walked towards the steps, and then slipped!
"AHHH!" she screeched! Naruto gasped and ran, only to see her rolling sideways down the fleet of stairs. He walked down carefully and saw her on the ground, struggling to get up. Only one thing crossed his mind.
"Just like a roly-poly." he chuckled.
"Shut up!" she snarled. Naruto picked her up and she brushed the snow off her, Naruto lending a hand.
"You okay?" Naruto asked. She eyed him.
*Smack*
"OW! DAMMIT!" he grunted, rubbing the side of his head. He may have been taller than her by a mile, but she could still whack him one.
"Now stop calling me a roly-poly. It's insulting. What if I called you something you didn't like?" she asked.
"Name on thing baby." he chuckled. She turned and smiled.
"You're a giant lug-nut." she replied. Naruto cocked his eyebrow.
"That's my second nickname. My first nickname is Mr. Whiskers," he said and walked over to her and grabbed her hand, "c'mon my cute roly-poly, let's go out and enjoy the day." he grinned. She sent him a glare, and he apologized.
"I wonder, where's Kishimaru Naruto?" Sakura pondered. Naruto shrugged.
"That boy's somewhere. He likes the snow though so I wouldn't doubt it if he was probably sledding down a hill right now. Why?" Naruto questioned. Sakura looked at him.
"I'm sure Kishimaru would want to wish his big brother Happy Birthday! And plus sledding sounds fun!" she replied.
"True, but there's snow all over the damn place. He could be anywhere!" Naruto said holding out his arms. Sakura smiled.
"In the park there's a giant hill that's great for sledding! C'mon!" Sakura giggled and grabbed his hand, leading him to the park. On the way there, Naruto felt his sensation of pride alter. The purple glow around his neck stopped, and his wrists began glowing a green colour, and The Phase of Greed, began. He instantly tightened his grip on Sakura's hand.
"You're mine… all… mine… no one else's." he mentally thought. They ran to the park, Naruto sending frightening glares to all people who eyed Sakura. Sakura stopped, Naruto not letting go. He looked around, and then at Sakura.
"You're all mine Sakura," he said. She turned around and he gripped her head and sniffed her hair, "this is mine… and only mine. You're mine and only mine. You're no one else's but mine, no one but me is going to lay a single finger on you. Ahhh, if only I could just take this hair, your body… ahhh." she groaned in delight. Sakura was slightly creeped out. Naruto was sniffing her hair and, telling her that her body was his. He was beginning to weird her out. Sakura pulled away and cocked her head. Naruto put his hands in his pockets. Sakura sighed and shook her head. Naruto smiled, and then felt something in his pockets. He pulled out a roll of gum.
"Oh, guess I left in in here." Naruto said. He pulled out a stick and popped it in his mouth. It was bubble gum.
"Oh! My favourite! Can I have a piece Naruto!?" Sakura asked cutely. Naruto smiled, however his wrists glowed.
"Well, I would if I could Sakura, but it was the last piece. Sorry." the blond replied. Sakura cocked her eyebrow. Naruto shrugged and looked around. "There he is! Up there!" he said and pointed! Sakura turned around, and indeed saw Kishimaru up on the hill with a bright orange sled.
"Kishimaru!" Sakura called and ran towards him. Naruto sighed and pulled out another stick of gum. He saw everyone staring at him and glared at them. His wrists glowed yet again.
"This is my gum! Go get your own! MINE!" he shouted and ran off. Everyone just cocked their eyebrows and shrugged.
Kishimaru slid down the hill, shouted and laughed! Standing up, he grabbed the sled and was about to go up until the sled was snatched out of his hands!
"HEY! Oh… BIG BROTHER!" Kishimaru shouted as he tackled Naruto to the ground, the sled slipping out of his hands! Sakura giggled, pulling the blond up.
"Hey Kishimaru!" Sakura waved! The boy smiled!
"Sakura!" He shouted and ran over. Naruto noticed the move and like a flash of light, appeared in front of Sakura and took the hug.
"Huh? Big brother, this hug was for Sakura." the boy said. Naruto shrugged and Kishimaru went around her. Naruto followed, and as Kishimaru hugged Sakura, Naruto pried the boy off like a crowbar and hugged the pinkette himself.
"Naruto! Kishimaru wanted to give me a hug!" Sakura growled! Naruto shrugged, but then Sakura set him straight with a smack upside the head! He rubbed the part where she hit him. Sakura hugged Kishimaru and shook her head. "I swear… you're been acting so weird lately," said Sakura, "c'mon Kishimaru, let's go slide own the hill!" she giggled as Kishimaru went to go get the slide. However, as soon as he picked it up, Naruto snatched it away!
"Hey! Big brother!" the boy whined. Naruto grinned at his little brother.
"Hey, we can take turns, I taught you that didn't I?" the blond asked. The boy sighed and nodded. Naruto walked up the hill, Sakura and Kishimaru following after. He set it down and got on.
Sakura sat down and hugged Naruto's torso. Grabbing the rope, Naruto grinned and scooted, shooting down the hill at high speeds and shouting while his voice cracked. Reaching the bottom of the hill, both teens got off and ran back up. Naruto set it down and got on. Kishimaru got behind him and he shot down again. On the way back up, Naruto's wrists glowed green again, and he grinned slightly. Sitting on the sled, Sakura and Kishimaru were about to sit behind him when he "accidentally" scooted and shot off!
"HEY!" both of them yelled!
"NARUTO!" Sakura shouted! He waved with a cheeky grin. She grunted, "what's up with your brother today? It's like he changed all of a sudden," Sakura said.
"How?" Kishimaru asked.
"Well, this morning your brother was acting really… I don't know. Like he was full of Pride? He seemed really, and I mean REALLY, pride-struck to be with me, and not to mention he also was proud about those piercings he got," she replied. The boy cocked his eyebrow.
"What's a piercing?" he asked. Sakura sweat-dropped.
"It's… well… it's where someone has an earring or a ring implanted on a certain part of their body," Sakura explained.
"Ouchie! That has to hurt a lot!" the boy said. Sakura sighed and shook her head.
"Well, tell that to that lug-nut brother of yours down there," she pointed. Kishimaru looked.
"Where did he go?" Kishimaru asked.
"Huh?" Sakura gaped and looked down, however he was not there. "Where'd he go?" Sakura asked. Kishimaru didn't know, but one thing he knew was that Naruto took his sled!
"He took my sled Sakura!" the boy complained! Sakura put her hands on her hips.
"That's right! Ohh! C'mon!" she grabbed the boys hands and walked down the hill, "Naruto!" she shouted! "Naruto where are you!?" the pinkette demanded to know! However, there was no sight of him, but the sound of his voice could be heard in the distance, obviously having a gas over the sled. She grunted and walked in the direction. Both of them eventually saw the blond sliding down a different, much larger hill.
"NARUTO!" Sakura bellowed! The blond noticed her and shuddered. The pinkette growled at him! He flinched and quickly got off the sled, taking it before running back up the hill. A giant oak tree loomed on top. Naruto ran up to the highest branch that could support his weight, "NARUTO! GET DOWN HERE NOW! I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!" Sakura barked! Naruto grinned and held out the pack of gum and took another slice out of it, "so you DID have another piece!" she growled. He popped it in his mouth and grinned.
"You're mine to, you should come up here! If you do, I'll give you a stick of gum!" He said, holding it out.
"I WANT GUM!" Kishimaru whined! Sakura cocked her eyebrow, and then grinned.
"Watch," Sakura whispered to the boy, "hey muscles…" Sakura began, grabbing his attention, "why don't you come down here and get me?" She asked. Naruto cocked his eyebrow and grinned.
"Easy." He said and snapped his fingers. He began climbing down, however Sakura giggled.
"But, on one condition," she said, halting him immediately.
"What condition?" He asked.
"You have to give back the sled and give us a stick of gum! If you do, I'll give you a kiss too." she said and winked. Naruto cocked his eyebrow, and then grinned again for probably the 50th time.
"Or… how about this," Naruto said and chuckled as he took the whole package of gum and ate every single piece, "come gimme a kiss and then you'll get your gum baby." he said. Kishimaru whined!
"WHY ARE YOU SO GREEDY!?" Kishimaru shouted jumping up and down.
"I'M NOT GREEDY! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S GREEDY! BESIDES I BOUGHT YOU THIS SLED!" Naruto shouted! He looked at it and grinned, "and it's mine now, ALL MINE! YOU CAN'T SLIDE ON IT ANYMORE! It's MINE! MINE, MINE, MINE!" he barked! Kishimaru whined and stomped his feet in the snow!
"BUT I WANT MY SLED BA-A-A-A-ACK! NOW, NOW, NOW!" the boy began crying as he threw a temper!
"Alright…" he said, the boy looking up at him, "you can have it…" he said with a smile.
"Really?" Kishimaru asked. Naruto nodded.
"Yeah! When you're tall enough to reach this tree branch! HAHA!" he laughed! The boy began crying again. Sakura growled and then stored chakra in her fist!
"YOU IDIOT!" Sakura screeched and thrust her fist into the tree's trunk! The wood splintered apart and the tree began falling over. Naruto gasped and jumped out quickly. However, as soon as he landed, Sakura immediately tackled him to the ground.
"THE SLED IS MINE! ALL MINE! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT! MINE, MINE, MINE!" Naruto shouted flailing under her!
"STOP BEING GREEDY!" Sakura shouted and grabbed his wrists! His sleeves slid back and Sakura saw a green glow. She pulled the glove back, and saw a circular tattoo on his wrist. It wasn't just his left, it was his right one as well. She touched the rings at the same time. Naruto then felt an intense sensation of greed wash over his body! He forced Sakura off. He looked around and chuckled! He ran over to a baby and her mother. The baby had a lollipop. Naruto snatched it away, causing the baby to cry and the mother to scream at him. Naruto looked at it, seeing it covered with the babies saliva.
"Yuck! If I can't have it, you can't either!" He shouted and threw the lollipop on the ground, shattering it!
"FIEND! HOW DARE YOU!" the lady screamed and began hitting him with her purse! Naruto grabbed it and looked inside. As he reached in, Sakura smacked him upside the head, causing him to let go of the ladies wallet!
"I'm so sorry ma'am! He's not like himself today! Please excuse us!" Sakura said and grabbed him by the arm and dragged him away. The lady took her baby and left.
"Sakura! I was only playing!" Naruto complained. She turned around and smacked him on the cheek! The blond flinched.
"That wasn't playing Naruto! That was stealing and being greedy! You made Kishimaru and that baby cry! What's wrong with you today!?" Sakura demanded to know from the tall blond. Naruto furrowed his eyes and sighed. The orange sled still in his grip.
"I'm… sorry Sakura…" he apologized. She glared at him and then snatched the sled away. Naruto's wrists glowed green again and he immediately grabbed it again! "But the sled is still mine! All mine!" he chuckled! Sakura yanked it away, the blond in pursuit still.
"Naruto! STOP IT!" Sakura screamed! He covered his ears. Sakura walked to Kishimaru and handed the crying boy his sled. She rubbed his head and hugged him.
"Big brother *Sniff* is a big greedy meanie!" Kishimaru sobbed. Sakura kissed the boy's forehead.
"Don't worry. This isn't the Naruto we know. Something odd is happening to him and I think it's a serious one. Naruto was never this way." Sakura said. Kishimaru looked at her with his cerulean eyes. Sakura set the sled down and placed Kishimaru on it. She got on the back and they both went down the large hill. Naruto witnessed it and growled.
"Fine! Keep the stupid sled!" He shouted! He then ran off towards the village. Gasping, Sakura and Kishimaru ran after him! By the time they got there, many people were complaining!
"What's going on!?" Sakura shouted!
"Some boy asked if he could have a piece of my cupcake! I don't know what the hell I was thinking, but soon he snatching it and ate the whole thing! Right in FRONT of me! And then he said I couldn't have some!" A boy complained!
"He wanted to check how much my fruit was worth and he also began devouring it like a slob! He said I didn't deserve it!" one lady with a bag said.
"I'm so very sorry!" Sakura apologized! She didn't want to find out what else was wrong with them, "do you know which way he went?" Sakura asked. They pointed off towards the South of the village, "C'mon Kishimaru! We have to hurry!" Sakura grabbed the boys hand and both began jumping rapidly across the roof-tops! They passed many streets with the same problem! They had been moving around the village for more than 30 minutes! Finally, Kishimaru spotted something in an ally!
"Sakura! Look!" He pointed! She stopped and looked over the edge. Naruto was sitting on the cobblestone walk-way. They jumped down and landed in front of him.
"Naruto!" Sakura got to her knees and checked him. He wouldn't look up. Sakura forced him to, however he covered his mouth. Forcing his hand away, she saw him eating a banana he most likely stole out of greed. "Just what the heck is going on with you!?" Sakura demanded to know. Naruto ate the banana completely and looked at her before swallowing.
"Everything belongs to me! Even you!" he said and grabbed her cheeks, "I deserve many things in this world that I never got when I was young! I was hated all my life and what did I get out of it? Nothing!" He explained. Sakura uncovered his wrists and looked at the glowing green tattoo's. There was some kind of meaning to them, but Sakura didn't know what was going on. She looked at him and stroked his cheeks.
"Tell me…" Sakura began, "why are you being so greedy?" She asked. He stared at her.
"Because everything belongs to me… and… I never had anything when I was young." he replied. She looked at his wrists. It was weird, but Sakura could see what was going on. His wrists were glowing green, and this had altered his attitude. But Sakura wasn't sure what would happen next. She kissed his hands and hugged him. He grabbed Kishimaru and thrust the boy away! Kishimaru stared his brother as he stroked Sakura's valuable pink hair.
"Don't I belong to you too big brother?" Kishimaru asked. This abruptly changed Naruto's mind. He waved the boy over and grabbed him before pulling him into the hug.
"You both belong to me, I deserve you guys. You guys need me!" He said, kissing their heads. Kishimaru and Sakura looked up at the tall blond. He was grinning, and for an hour or so he told them over and over how much they belonged only to him, and a few hundred things that also belonged to him. Suddenly, his grin disappeared, and his feeling of greed dispersed immediately. As his wrists stopped glowing green, his torso began glowing a bright sky blue colour. Instantly, The Phase of Envy washed over his body. Through his clothes, the tattoo's were still clearly able to be seen. He looked at them, and their hair.
"Your hair… so exotic… I… I envy you, unrestrained I envy you guys so damn much! Kishimaru has silverfish gray hair and Sakura… oh Sakura you have PINK hair! And all I have is this stupid blond hair… dammit!" he groaned and sighed. He felt an unrestrained envy, and then, while feeling this, he felt unbalanced. His emotions had now become distraught.
"Something wrong Naruto?" Sakura asked, stroking his chest which held the lucid blue markings. Naruto's eyes shimmered in sorrow.
"You… guys have something so cool, something I wish I had…" he replied. He stood up, Sakura and Kishimaru following after as he walked out of the ally. Upon emerging, many villagers confronted him on sight!
"You greedy thief! You ate my food!"
"Dammit! I don't care if he's a damned animal, 'er whatever! YOU GREEDY SHIT!" another said.
"Yeah!" the entire audience began shouting at Naruto.
"YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY!" he screeched! They stopped and stared at him.
"You all have unique qualities and… I envy you for that!" He was on the verge of tears. Sakura gasped and fell to his side.
"Naruto! There's no need to cry! You have unique things too! Why are you crying?" Sakura questioned.
"I-I have nothing unique! My hair's not unique, my body's not unique," he said. Sakura's eye twitched. His body was like a gold mine, why was he complaining, "my childhood was horrible!" He sobbed! His distraught emotions only worsened as the blue aura within his chest burned brighter. Everyone stared at the emotional blond dumbstruck.
"…Jeez… calm down dude. You didn't have to take it seriously…" one village implied.
"Is he Bipolar?" a man asked.
"He's still a greedy thief that's what he is!" a woman barked!
"Wow mister… you really need to get a grip." a Boy said.
Naruto's tears only worsened. Gripping his blond locks, he began pulling at it!
"You all have SOMETHING unique! Why can't I HAVE something UNIQUE!?" Naruto cried! Sakura rubbed his back and the crowd dispersed, whispering about him however. Kishimaru furrowed his eyebrows and Sakura turned to him.
"Perhaps now isn't a good time Kishimaru. Why don't you go play, I'll take care of him," she said. He boy simply nodded whilst hugging his brother. He then walked away.
"Come on Naruto. Let's go home," Sakura said. The emotional whiskered blond got up slowly and grabbed her hand. On their way home, every person he passed by only made him more sorrowful and distraught. They arrived home, and as soon as Naruto was inside he ran to his room. Shedding his trench coat, he laid on his bed and cried. Sakura had no idea what was going on, however she gasped when she saw the sky blue pattern glowing on his chest, burning like fire, like how the other tattoo's had done. The black ink on his wrists and neck were gone, and had been replaced with the colour that had originally shined. A purple ring around his neck, and the green rectangular spiral around his wrists. His torso had two circles, both upon his pectorals, and in the middle of his pecs as was dot, and inside the circles were four dots, placed in a prong type way. However, that was not the only problem she saw.
His sudden emotional alterations, the blonde's sudden crying and the fact that he seemed to envy everyone in the village. The pinkette honestly had no idea what to think. She rubbed his back, and as she did, he began talking to her.
"Everyone is so unique and… and I-I'm not at all!" he sniffed, his cheeks burning red.
"Oh come on now Naruto. That isn't true! You're really unique in a lot of ways. I mean, look at your body! You look like a beef cake!" Sakura said rubbing her hands over his chest. Naruto sniffed and sobbed.
"…I guess… but look at my hair… it's just a stupid blond! And… you're i-is pink! Everyone has something I don't!" the blond implied.
"Naruto! Stop it! You don't need to be crying! You have everything you need!" the pinkette said in a harsh tone, "and besides, if you don't stop crying I'm going to let you deal with this yourself!" Sakura said. His crying had gotten annoying, and she was on quite a short fuse especially after how Naruto presented himself around Kishimaru. He bawled even harder, and as she got up, he cried to her!
"M-My heart! It f-feels like it's r-ripping in two! You're leaving ME!" he fell back and gripped his head. Sakura shook her head and walked out of the room. Closing the door behind her, she walked into the living room. She could still hear him bawling his eyes out. "Everyone has SOMETHING I DON'T!" he shouted through the walls! Sakura ignored him, "it's this ENVY I FELT! THEY ALL HAVE THINGS I DON'T! WHY C-CAN'T I HAVE ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD!? WHY!?" he screeched! She closed her eyes and crossed her arms. After a few minutes, she heard him beginning to talk as though contemplating something, "THIS LIFE SUCKS! I-I HATE IT SO MUCH! I WISH IT COULD J-JUST END! My-my girlfriend left me… everyone has something I DON'T and it's in this envy I can't live like this anymore!" he screeched! She gasped!
"NARUTO!" The pinkette screamed at the top of her lungs! She shambled to her feet and sprinted down the hallway to the room! She ripped the door from it's hinges and she felt her heart skip a beat! He held a knife in the air as he leaned back, somewhat sexily, against the bed, his right arm supporting him and his left holding the knife down towards his throat. Sakura screamed and lunged in, mercilessly slapping the knife straight from his hand! The force left it stinging red, and Sakura gripping his hands violently! "What were you THINKING!?" she screamed. His red cheeks and tears increased.
"I… I HAVE NOTHING! It's because I ENVY EVERYONE and it's b-b-because they have it ALL!" he sobbed in distraught!
"Naruto that's not-"
"YES IT IS! I envy every single last ONE of them! It's because they-they have u-u-UniQUE things about thEm!" he began cracking under his own emotions. Sakura watched helplessly as he leaned his head upon her shoulder and began crying his heart out. The Sky Blue tattoo began flashing wildly! Sakura found this time to take a look at it. She leaned Naruto back and took off his fishnet muscle shirt. She was careful not to touch the glowing lines, however the fact that they were there was mysterious. She looked at his neck, the red lining of the ring, his wrists with the ancient-like rectangular spirals around the circumference of them. And now his chest. She tried linking the coincidences together.
"Each time one of those tattoo's glows, his personality and emotions alter drastically. But… how did he get the tattoo's, why did he get them, and if he did what do they mean besides altering his emotions?" her mind was challenged with these thoughts, and the more she thought about it, the further she felt herself from the true answer. She had never noticed these tattoo's before, and then they suddenly appeared over-night? Was she blind or was it something else. Surly she would have noticed the tattoo's, but then again a lot of things slip past her. She looked at Naruto and-
"N-Naruto?" Sakura looked about. He was gone! "But how did he!? NARUTO!" she screeched! She stood up and ran into the living room. She gasped when she saw him with a butcher knife, about he slit his throat! Sobbing to himself, his envy and distraught emotions flaring madly.
"I-I-I love you Sakura…" he sniffed. She dashed over to him and screamed as she lunged and punched him in the gut! He gasped and dropped the knife, falling to the ground with her while the sound of steel clanked sharply on the tile!
"What. Were. You. Thinking!?" Sakura screamed! Naruto sniffed, his tears increasing, cheeks stinging and his breathing becoming unstable. She wiped them away and implied chakra where she hit him. It was soothing, gentle, and very… entrancing. The pain dissipated and soon he felt relaxed enough to stop bawling. Sakura sighed in relief, she felt an oncoming headache. "At least he stopped…" he thought and rubbed his chest, "it's okay now Naruto. You're going to be fine. It's okay." she repeated, doing her best to restrain herself from scolding the hell out of him for trying to commit his own demise. A few minutes later, Naruto's head cocked back, and a feeling of subliminal feelings washed over him. Sakura was getting tired from this, but what would happen? She very well did not want him to start again. However, if she kept this up to long and force herself she could pass out, and if she did he might get ideas that would ultimately end his life at the wrong time. A few more minutes passed, and Naruto soon fell asleep. She sighed and stopped immediately! The stress it implied on her body made her want to sleep.
Sighing to herself, she laid her head on his chest. He was struggling with his breathing a bit. However he would be fine, and she stroked his chest with her right finger, careful of the markings. Resting for around 30 minutes, she saw the markings on his chest fade away into the blue, non-active markings. Sighing in relief, she closed her eyes.
Naruto however, awoke. His arms, the black ink markings upon them, forming rings around his deltoids and biceps with to symmetrical dots on each side, began glowing a burning crimson! It was then, that The Phase of Wrath hit Naruto like a full blown brick! Immediately, he felt the unrestrained feeing of intense violence! So much unrestrained that he panted as he pushed Sakura off, causing her to awaken, and walked right into the living room. His knuckles were the colour of snow, and his eyes filled with hate and scorn!
"FUCK YOU!" Naruto bellowed as he cocked his fist back and slammed it straight into the wall! His knuckles blew right through it, creating a large hole! The pain of his skin pinching only made him angrier! He took his other arms and rammed it into the wall before pulling out! He was going to destroy his apartment! He… needed a victim. Looking around, he saw Sakura staring at him, gaping! He instantly began walking over to her, knuckles bleeding. She gasped and backed away slowly, her back hitting the counter.
"Stop! STOP NARUTO!" she pleaded! He grabbed her by the collar. However, he did not assert any violence towards her, but forced her into a heated kiss.
"Get your fuckin' coat on. We're goin' back out. And this time, things'll be different." he snarled. Sakura saw the immense hatred swelling within his eyes! She scooted away from him and then dashed madly into the room. She dressed quickly and then came back out. Naruto had all of his clothes back on, however she stared at him in confusion.
"Are you going out like that?" Sakura questioned, "you'll catch a dreadful cold." she said. Naruto glanced towards her, his arms' ink burning blood.
"Tch, I'll be fine! Now c'mon," he growled! She jumped and jogged over. He put his hand on her back and pushed her forward before slamming the door and locking it. Shoving the key into his pocket, Naruto grabbed her hand and they both walked down the steps. His massive boots crushed the ice and he made deep imprints in the snow and ice layers. He let go and inhaled painfully deep, his knuckles stained red still, "well!?" his voice was hoarse and cracked, "let's go!" he said and began walking. She followed him hastily as he walked vigorously through the streets. Sakura held her hand close to her chest with a worrisome expression. She hoped he wasn't cold, after all he was wearing, pretty much, close to nothing but pants and boots. He cast an intimidating aura as he passed by the villagers. However a gang showed up soon after. Naruto cocked his eyebrow and rubbed his chin.
"I remember you five… hmm where was it…" he clicked his tongue and then it binged in his mind, "oh yeah, one of you fucks tried to kidnap my lil' bro. Yeah, I remember it now. I beat the shit out of him, you guys ran away. Ahhh, but, now that I think about it, that Killdozer dude is kinda like you, just dumber," he said.
"Hey watch it fucker!" One of them spat!
"Oh?"
"You got a lot of spunk talkin' to us that way! I think it's about time we stepped back out and asserted our superiority over you," the member said. Naruto crossed his arms.
"Why not "assert your superiority over me," right here and now bitch? C'mon, let's see what you're made of, unless you're too much of a pussy…" Naruto grinned.
The member clenched his fist, turning his knuckles white. He was about to attack, but not before the, supposed leader, of the gang stopped him. He was thin and tall, and had more of a cool attitude. He said nothing, and the large member backed off, "but, we won't thrash your ass here. We'll wait until Monday," he finished. Naruto chuckled. If stealing one of their cloaks was that easy, he would've have just destroyed them then and there. Sighing, he shrugged.
"Alright… but… if you ever do anything you'll regret. I'll personally kill you myself. Watch yourself," Naruto warned. They scoffed and turned around, leaving. Naruto popped his knuckles and then his neck. He was a surprisingly calm at the moment. However, as soon as he walked back to Sakura, he felt an intense amount of rage boiling deep within him. His arms burned an intense crimson! He stared at the eye-soring sight of another teenager's group huddled around Sakura. They appeared to be trying to take her with them.
"C'mon baby!" one of them said, "be apart of our group!" he offered, grabbing her arm and pulling her along. She resisted and pushed him back.
"Buzz off!" she warned. He sighed and took out his wallet.
"Okay, how much?" he questioned.
"How much what?"
"How much do I have to pay you, including my guys, for sex? Or you could at least strip and pole dance for us." he replied. Sakura growled and popped her knuckles.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" they heard a voice. However it was not Sakura. She looked, and saw him, towering above one of the members. He gripped the young man's shoulder and squeezed, "you fucks are messing with the wrong girl," he breathed, "get the fuck away from her, or else!" he was so enraged his body trembled.
"Who the fuck do you think you are!?" the leader asked and shoved his comrade out of the way and pushed Naruto back! Naruto took his finger and poked the young man. Even that was enough for him to take a few stumbled steps back. Sakura knew Naruto was strong, after all, he had showed her once before. The blonde's anger made him inhale violently. The other members looked at each other and then back at him. "Dude… calm down…" the leader said. Naruto grabbed his and lifted him from the Earth, holding his straight in the air!
"I don't care who the hell you are," Naruto snarled, "you're still never gonna ever be seen around here again…" he said and with a cock of his fist, he thrust his bloody knuckles into the leader's nose, breaking it! The teen flew back and rolled upon the ground, the blood from his nostrils splattering along the dirt and mixing with the snow. The group then took out their weapons, consisting of only wooden bats. Naruto sniffed and growled deeply. The tone was of it was dark and demonic. He crouched down low, ready for kill. They looked at one another, and without a second thought, they lurched towards him! Sakura gasped, and as soon as she knew it, Naruto picked one of the members clean off the ground and used the poor teen as a bat, swinging and hitting the other members! He broke their arms, shattered their bones and nearly split their skulls open! Breaking noses and legs, even one member's femur bone! It was a complete mess! They lay there, battered and broken and bleeding. Sakura looked at Naruto, who had also suffered a few hits. However all that happened were a few bruises, which seemed to heal increasingly after Sakura would blink! Naruto grabbed one of them and held him high in the air.
"Ever… and I mean EVER show your FUCKING FACE AROUND HERE AGAIN, AND I'LL KILL YOU!" he roared and tossed the bloody teen aside. They groaned and coughed, and the by standing villagers stared at Naruto with fear dwelling within their eyes.
"H-He's a pure monster…" one of them men gasped, holding his wife.
"H-How c-could he b-be so cruel? How!?" The woman asked, clutching him. Naruto glanced towards them, causing them to gasp and tremble in fear!
"That's right…" he said and flexed his arms, causing the red lines to brighten, "THAT'S RIGHT! And if anyone else has a problem, they'd better step up and face me! WELL!? DO YOU!?" he snarled pointing at the crowd.
They held no answers or replies. Popping his neck, the blond shook his head. He walked over to Sakura and grabbed her arm before walking away, dragging her.
"Quick! Call the medics!" a lady screeched!
Naruto heard her plea and shook his head. It only enraged him more, and the more she screeched, the greater his irritation.
"HELP!" she screamed! Naruto then whipped around!
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" He shouted and thrust his fist into a wooden crate! "JUST. SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!" he bellowed! "IF YOU DON'T I'M GONNA COME OVER THERE! And trust me bitch, you don't want that… GOT IT!?" he inhaled deeply. The woman gasped and looked at Sakura. The pinkette shook her head plainly. Naruto took his fist from the crate and looked at it. The surging pain that flowed through made his hand tremble as crimson leaked from the wounds. He turned back around and walked away, Sakura following his every step.
After a few minutes, Naruto's temper not at all letting up and the day passing by slowly, Sakura decided to give a shot at cheering him up.
"Naruto?" he began.
"What?" he answered, a bit of a snap to his tone.
"Are you… hungry? You haven't eaten all day." Sakura replied. He thought, and then nodded.
"Alright… let's go home then… no point in staying out here anymore as it is." he said as the snow flakes began piling up on his hair and shoulders. He cared not, and led her to the apartment. Opening the door, he took his shirt off and tossed in on the floor carelessly. Sakura closed the door, and upon seeing him tossing clothes every which way, she sighed. However there wasn't anything wrong with Naruto wanting to feel at home. Shedding her clothes and hanging them on the rack, she watched as Naruto started his meal. Walking in, the pinkette wrapped her gentle hands around his torso and held onto his shoulders, laying her head on his back.
"What are you making?" she asked.
"Ramen…" he replied. Typical Naruto, at least his ramen appetite had not changed. She was glad he still had a bit of him left, even if his emotions were nearly bipolar. She rubbed her pecs and nuzzled into his warm back.
"What kind of ramen?" Sakura asked.
"Pork…"
"After you're done wanna lay down?" Sakura asked.
"Sure…" the blond said and went back to cooking his meal. Sakura smiled, and knew he'd be a while.
"I'll be right back Naruto. I need to go get something." Sakura said. He nodded and she got dressed, again. She walked outside and to the nearest pet shot. She looked around until she found what she was looking for. The lady at the counter smiled.
"Big pet eh?" she said as she rung up the price. Sakura giggled.
"Oh… you could say that. Today's his birthday."
"Well if you weren't just the sweetest girl. He'll love it!" she said. Sakura paid and nodded, "also, tell him I said Happy Birthday!"
"Oh! I sure will! But you know boyfriends," Sakura chuckled, "always have to be so nice. He made breakfast for me." she said and smiled. The lady stared at Sakura, "thank you!" she said and walked out. The lady just… stared…
"She… bought a large, spiked black collar for her boyfriend… for the love of all things good, who knows what that's going to be apart of…" she shivered.
Sakura arrived at the apartment and walked inside. Closing the door she looked and saw Naruto eating, everything in tact.
"Oh Naruto!" Sakura giggled, holding up a bag. She undressed into her clothes and walked over, "I got you something." she said with a sweet tone. Naruto didn't bother to look up, holding his head low," I'll just put it somewhere," she said and walked down the hallway. Opening the door to his room, she entered. However, she gasped! Hey pupils tightened and her eyes widened. The room… was a complete… mess! The mirrors were shattered, holes were in the walls and the bed was slightly ripped. It was then that she began to worry deeply about him. There were splotches of blood on the white walls. She set the bag down and ran back into the living room! As soon as she entered, Naruto was looking at her. It un nerved her to no end as she walked near him. His knuckles were bloody, twitching and nasty. She rubbed his shoulder and sighed, "are you…"
"Fine… I'm… fine Sakura. Just… don't worry about it… just don't." he said. His arms weren't glowing as harsh anymore, however she could still feel a bit of his emotional flare.
"Are you sure?" She asked. His arms brightened, and immediately she nodded, "okay. Well," he sighed and hugged him, "let's just lay down for a bit… after you're done that is." she said and pecked him on the cheek. Naruto sighed and ate. Placing his bowl in the sink, he laid down with Sakura on the couch. Wrapping his bulky arms around her, he sighed and cleared his throat.
"So… I take it you… saw it?" He asked.
"Yeah," she nodded, "mind letting me see you're hands?" he obliged and put his hands near her. They were bruised, bloody and over all damaged. Her hands began glowing a divine aura. Naruto felt his rage drop and his biceps didn't even spark a glow of red! The aura, it felt so… so… so amazing that words were unable to describe it! Shivering under her heavenly touch, the blond nuzzled his face into her rose pink hair. Sakura smiled as Naruto's knuckles were almost healed completely. However, somewhere, she felt something much worse was on the way. She even began wondering… what would unfold throughout the rest of the day?
*To Be Continued*
