Warnings: Yaoi….Do not read if you dislike yaoi..Mild Swearing. My style features Dark!Naruto CUTTING!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto D:
"Why the hell are you still there!? I told you to get out of my sight!" An angry young mother yelled at her four year old boy.
The small boy didn't respond, he sat there, with a look of fear towards the woman that was suppose to care for him.
"I told you; Get out of my sight!"
Naruto eyes began to water at his mother's scold, he was afraid....
"Don't you dare shed a tear! You useless runt! No child of mine will be a wimp! Now leave."
The frightened little boy shut his eyes tightly, pushing the tears back down, the innocence in his eyes dying slowly; he got up and ran for his room before things got any worse.
The long-haired blond stared at his reflection, his semi-pale complexion, icy blue eyes, and his white-blond spiky hair flowing steadily down to his waist.
Naruto glared back at the person looking at him
He hated it.
The person in the mirror was a weakling…and most of all….that person was alone.
"This hurts."
Help me….
"It's too much." Naruto said quietly, shaking his head.
Save me….
One more look in the mirror, Naruto grabbed a pair of scissors, and proceeded to chop off his hair.
A mess of golden strands were left in the bathroom.
"A-Aniki…."
Kyuubi looked down to see his little brother's small hand clinging to his arm.
"Momma….Momma….yelled at me again…"
The nine year old Kyuubi scoffed and jerked his arm away.
"That's your own fault!"
"…But…..Aniki……H-Help" Naruto said in his tiny voice, with his hand still up.
"Help yourself, kid. And stop bothering me! You're annoying."
Naruto looked up at his big brother with sad eyes and backed away.
"...Kay." The small blond whispered as he watched his big brother walk out the door to play with his friends.
"Kyuubi" Another senior, Shukaku, said.
"...Huh? Oh, 'Sup?" Kyuubi replied breaking out of his thoughts.
"You've had that dazed expression on all day. What's wrong?"
Kyuubi looked down at his lunch, poking at the mystery meat, "It's nothin!" Kyuubi grinned.
Itachi and Shukaku glanced at each other, neither believing their friend.
"How's Naruto?" Itachi asked suddenly, figuring that was what Kyuubi was stressing about.
"I dunno dude, I mean, I haven't seen him since the beginning of vacation..."
They sat there in awkward silence for a couple of minutes, none of them knowing what to say.
Shukaku looked up from his food, "Is that Naruto over there?"
Kyuubi stared into the path Shukaku was, spotting a blond haired student across the room, "Nah, man. Naruto's hair is way longer."
"I'm quite sure it's him Kyuubi." Itachi said, looking over.
Sure enough, it was Naruto. Many people stopped and stared. The blond's hair was slightly touching his shoulders, still in it's calm spikes, you could still see Naruto's blue eye color threw his long bangs.
"What the hell happened?" Kyuubi swore, standing up and walking(dashing) over to his younger brother who was sitting alone at a table.
"Naruto!" Kyuubi called, watching as Naruto sketched into his sketchbook.
'He's the last person I want to see right now.' Naruto thought, stopping with his head down. "What do you want, Kyuubi?"
"What happened to your hair, bro?"
"It got cut maybe?" Naruto said.
"I- uh..." Kyuubi didn't know what to say...so he didn't. He took the time to look at Naruto's new choice of attire.
The colors weren't different, still dark, but...Naruto's gloves were no longer his normal fish-nets, they were longer, fingerless gloves, with chains running over the top of them.
"Where have you...been?" Kyuubi said, looking away from Naruto's piercing gaze.
Naruto looked back down at his sketchbook, smirking at the drawing, "Don't worry abo-" Naruto began, but in the middle of his sentence, the blond gripped his head painfully.
"Oi! Are you okay, bro?" Kyuubi asked worriedly, sitting next to his little brother
"I'm fine." Naruto said, putting his hand down from his head and standing up.
"Do you need some hel-"
"No." Naruto said angrily and leaving the lunchroom.
"...Alright.."
"Catch ya later Sasuke-kuun!" Sakura called after a retreating Uchiha.
Sasuke looked around campus grounds, looking to see if he spotted a certain blond-haired student.
Luckily, with a few minutes of searching, Sasuke spotted Naruto walking towards his car.
'He parks so far away from school grounds..'
"Dobe" Sasuke said as he got closer to Naruto. The blond turned around to face an out of breath Sasuke. 'He ran all the way across campus to catch up with me?' Naruto thought comically, raising an eyebrow and smirking, Naruto spoke, "Pretty boy?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto again, this time gaping, 'He chopped off his hair?!'
"What's up pretty boy? Looks like your watching something die."
"Hn. Dobe. Get into a battle with scissors?"
"Pft. Yeah, and the scissors won."
Sasuke chuckled, surprised Naruto was actually talking to him this much...'Is he beginning to trust me?'
"What..did you...want..?" Naruto asked shakily.
"Are you al...Naruto!?" Sasuke hollered as he watched the blond collapse.
The raven ran over to Naruto and caught him before he hit the ground.
Sasuke looked down at Naruto when the blond moved against his chest. Judging by how pale and stressed Naruto's face was he guessed that he was tired.
"The school nurse is already gone..."
Sasuke got up from the ground and swiped Naruto's keys from his pocket, trying his best to open the car door without dropping Naruto. After the mini-battle with Naruto's car, Sasuke slid the blond carefully into the backseat, making sure he didn't hurt his head, Sasuke hopped into the front seat.
Thirty minutes later, Sasuke finally figured out where the hell his blond friend lived, hopping out of the car, Sasuke headed to the back seat and picked up Naruto.
Sasuke entered Naruto's house, moving softly so he didn't wake Naruto, he headed up the stairs. Guessing that Naruto's room was the one farthest away from everyone else, Sasuke headed towards the bedroom and pushed the door open with his hip.
The raven-haired teen put Naruto gently down on his bed, covering him with the silky blankets. Remembering that Itachi and Kyuubi went out to catch a movie, he wasn't going to leave until he knew Naruto was okay.
Sasuke stared down at Naruto and sighed, 'What the hell are you doing to yourself Naruto?' Sasuke thought worriedly, grabbing a chair from the nearby desk and sitting on it. He sat in silence, brushing the long blond bangs out of Naruto's face.
'I wonder if he...remembers.'
Sasuke looked around Naruto's room. Not much in it, it was quite large though, Sasuke got up from his seat and walked over to the desk.
'Hn. A sketchbook?'
Sasuke pulled the chair back over to the blond's desk, once settled, Sasuke grabbed the sketchbook and surfed through the tons of drawings Naruto drew.
The raven's eyebrow raised when he spotted a picture of Kyuubi, brushing it off, he continued flipping through the amazingly drawn pictures.
'He can dra--' Sasuke stopped his thoughts and stared at the drawing in front of him.
It was of two young children, looking up at the sky together.
The boy on the right...looked like him.
'Is that Naruto?' Sasuke thought, looking at the other boy, who was pointing up towards the sky.
"Having fun?"
Sasuke whipped around, startled by the random voice. "N-Naruto.."
Naruto looked away from Sasuke, staring at the poster on his wall, "I see you found my sketchbook."
Sasuke stared at the picture again.
"Do you remember....Uchiha?"
"Naruto..."
Sasuke looked at the gloved wrist, there was a bracelet on it.
"My momma gave it to me! It's yours now."
"But! This is your favorite! You never take it off!"
"That's the..."
"Bracelet you gave me." Naruto finished for Sasuke. Naruto gazed back up at Sasuke. "I see you're wearing the necklace."
"...You're..A mystery to me Naruto..." Sasuke said, walking back over to Naruto's side.
"...What do you want to know...?" Naruto said, his bangs completely covering his face from Sasuke.
"Everything damn it! I want to know...I want to know you Naruto! I want to know who the fuck he is!"
Naruto trembled, and snapped his head up and looked at Sasuke directly in the eye.
"You really want to know him!?" Naruto yelled, tears brimming in those beautiful blue eyes, as he ripped off his gloves in a swift movement.
Sasuke's eyes widened in horror as he stared at those pale wrists, multiple scars running along his arm.
"Hey. I'm Naruto"
