We went through this portal into another dimension, which happened to be a women's bathroom… There was a woman, around her mid-forties, who was applying makeup onto her face and when she saw us, she went crazy. Before I could apologize, I was hit with her shoe and other women joined her by throwing stuff at us, Dahv kept dodging all of them and I ran to the stall, there was a woman in the stall we had to go into and I had no choice. I was about to knock but Dahv kicked the door open and the woman got hit in the face by it, she was scared but her anger won over and she began to kick and punch us. He grabbed her, groped her, then threw her aside as he closed the stall, I slapped his hand for groping the lady, he just looked at me and laughed. We then went through the second portal and we were back at Konoha's prison.
''What the hell man?'' I asked as I noticed I had wounds all over my body from getting heels thrown at me.
''Hah, that was fucking awesome!'' Dahv exclaimed as he drank from his flask.
''Why did we go through that?'' I asked and waited for a response.
''Cause it was fun… Hey… wanna see sumthin'?'' I nodded no but he reached for something in his pocket and held it up to my face. It was a Pacific Rim Blu-ray.
''Dude that movie sucked.'' I said as I noticed he was about to punch me. I dodged but he attacked again.
''Naruto!'' yelled someone from the end of the hallway, it was Sasuke. I noticed he was doing hand seals and I backed away as he closed in on Dahv.
''Chidori!'' Sasuke yelled as he hit Dahv with the Chidori, it knocked him through a couple walls.
''Are you okay?'' Sasuke asked me.
''Yeah'' I responded as we both looked through the walls and saw Dahv getting up, Sasuke was shocked.
''You… BROKE MY PACIFIC RIM BLU-RAY!'' Dahv yelled as he got his guns out.
''Dude that movie sucked.'' said Sasuke as I noticed Dahv's left eye twitch.
"I'm gonna bash that pretty face of yours in, boy." as soon as he started moving, I couldn't see him. He was moving too fast and I kept getting hit, Sasuke was chasing him with his Sharingan but he couldn't stop him. I could tell he was getting frustrated because he was also getting hit despite his Sharingan being activated. In retrospect, it was a weird combat style using a combination of knife and gun, involving precise aim and strength.
''What the?! His movements make no sense! Can you go into sage mode Naruto?'' Sasuke asked.
''Y-yeah, just give me a moment, one of my clones will do it. Ack! What the hell?'' we kept getting hit at random and we couldn't even see him in time to be able to dodge him. It's as if he were doing an insane dance.
''Yo, bitch boy stop playing with your food I'm losing here!'' Zen came out of a portal with nothing but rainbow boxers on and called out to Dahv.
''Huh—'' Sasuke was baffled because all attacks had stopped. We saw Dahv walking up to the portal where Zen was at.
''Tch, that's all you've got?''
''Sasuke you are in no position to be saying tha—''
"Which one of you assholes wants to have my foot shoved so far up their ass, they'll have to surgically remove me from you?" Dahv stopped moving.
''Try me.'' Sasuke responded, I tried to jump in front of him but Dahv had moved too quickly.
''Argh!'' Sasuke screamed as I turned around wide eyed. Dahv was behind him sucking his chakra along with his blood.
''Are you shitting me!'' Zen yelled as he closed the portal and opened up another one behind Dahv and pulled him away. The portal closed soon after and I saw Sasuke fall to his knees.
''Why do you always gotta act cool?'' I ran to Sasuke as he covered his neck. A few Anbu men arrived after, pretty late if you ask me.
''What the hell was that guy…'' Sasuke was short on his breath.
''I don't know but I got a feeling that my son knows. Is there a medic?'' I asked to my Anbu men and two stepped forward, one began to heal Sasuke's neck wounds and the other began healing me.
''I don't need healing, I have to go see my son.'' I began to walk away as Sasuke tried to stand up but fell back down.
''Damn it!'' he seemed frustrated.
''Sasuke you need to take it easy now because you are old. Make sure he's well.'' I demanded from the Anbu as they nodded. Sasuke grunted in response as I left the prison.

''And that is why I know I'm awesome.'' said Kyosuke to Jautis as Naru seemed like he has had enough of him.
''Jautis, how come you haven't hit him yet?'' I asked.
''He's the one with tartar sauce.'' he responded without hesitation.
''So Jautis, what do you, Minotaurs, do? You just guard the maze for the rest of your life?'' I asked as I looked at him. He gave out a heavy sigh.
''We take pride on honest people, we don't necessarily guard the maze, we guard the people that come to it. We defend honor so we make sure people don't cheat. I particularly don't like it but I can't just choose a different lifestyle.'' he responded as he let Naru off of his shoulders.
''What's wrong?'' Naru asked as sensei stopped walking ahead and turned around.
''He's here.'' Jautis responded.
''Who?'' we asked.
''Jautis! You were supposed to do your duty!'' yelled an angered Minotaur who headed our way.
''Brother, let us not fight, this human fed me when I was hungry.'' he pointed at Naru.
''Do not sell yourself for food, he is a disgrace to our maze as he broke the wall!'' he yelled as he ran towards Naru, sensei jumped in front of Naru to protect him but got knocked against the wall.
''I don't want to fight you brother.'' said Jautis as he stepped in front of Naru. I moved quickly towards sensei to see if he was okay, he stood up rubbing his head.
''It's too late for that, how dare you choose these rats over us, your brothers, and your honor?!'' yelled the Minotaur as he charged at Jautis.
''Shit, Naru try to open his mouth for the tartar sauce!'' Kyosuke yelled as he reached for his bag, Jautis looked at him with a sad expression.
''No! Are you forgetting the restriction of the arena? We cannot kill!'' yelled Naru as he had a Rasengan on his right hand.
''Very good Naru.'' said sensei as he began to assist Naru.
''Bulius listen to me! He broke the wall because his comrade was in danger not because he wanted to cheat!'' Jautis yelled but suddenly got tackled by his brother. They seemed equally matched in strength they were stuck in place; none of the two budged one bit.
''—Vos bastardus! (—You bastard!)'' the wall behind me had broken and I moved just in time, the guy who ran into us earlier had come through it speaking another language.
''H-hey!'' I yelped as sensei turned his head to me and had a shocked expression.
''Move away from him Zakuro!'' he yelled as he threw a kunai at him.
''Not now old man I'll give you attention later.'' the man winked at him as he dodged his kunai and looked at me. He was speechless but suddenly turned his attention to a mysterious man whose face was hidden in darkness as he began to speak.
''Grauiter ego te ad me pugnare cinaede! (I thought you were seriously going to fight me, pansy!)'' said the faceless man. He seemed to have some sort of long dark robe and a staff connected to a green orb at the top.
''Talk in our language please.'' Kotaishi sensei asked.
''We aren't talking about you.'' said the man as he attacked the faceless man.
''That's not why I want you to talk in our language, for all I know you could be sharing information that we need.'' said Kotaishi sensei.
''Arden, focus on me!'' yelled the man whose face wasn't visible.
''I would if you weren't so ugly Reretuac!'' yelled Arden back.
''Heyyyy bitches I found you!'' a rainbow mosquito came in through the broken wall Arden had come through.
''What the f—'' we all said in response, even Bulius.
''Aw no fair, you found him before me! Hmph!'' said the rainbow mosquito as she stomped her feet in thin air.
''Y-you!'' yelled Jautis as he threw Bulius to the side and ran towards the rainbow mosquito.
''Hey sexy bitch, how's that look of yours going?'' said the rainbow mosquito as she took a picture.
''Turn me back!'' demanded Jautis.
''Oh thank the voodoo lord there's a torch here, I don't have flash on my cheap camera. And hey, artist appreciation anyone? Like come on, look at him! Stunning.'' said the rainbow mosquito as Jautis was attempting to grab her but failed miserably.
''Turn me back!'' Jautis kept demanding, I noticed that Arden was having enough of them.
''Shit Crayola turn him back so that he can shut the fuck up!'' Arden demanded.
''No'' said Crayola boldly.
''If you don't turn him back I'll hit you with a flyswatter and eat you alive.'' Arden responded immediately.
''Fine, only because I don't want to ruin my new corset.'' Crayola zapped Jautis with a lot of magic, it looked as if Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon was transforming.
''Ah, it's good to be back because those stiletto heels were killing me.'' said Jautis.
''You know you could've just taken those off right?'' Naru responded.
''S-shut up!'' responded Jautis as he blushed slightly in embarrassment.
''Moo!'' all of a sudden Bulius was charging at Jautis.
''Jautis!'' yelled Naru as Jautis hit the ground pretty hard, Naru ran towards Jautis but Bulius began to attack Naru, he dodged and attacked back. Kyosuke assisted him with a weak Chidori. I took a kunai out and ran towards Bulius but as I got closer Bulius got angry and charged at me. Naru and Kyosuke yelled my name as I closed my eyes pointing my kunai towards Bulius. In a blink of an eye I was moved from the spot, it was so fast I didn't realize what had happened. I noticed that the man known as Arden was holding me in his arms.
''You okay cherry boy?'' he asked me as I felt my face light up a hue of red.
''D-don't call me that and put me down this instant!'' I demanded from him as I pushed him away from me.
"I'll take this as payment." he was holding me tight and suddenly he pulled my face closer to his and forced a kiss on me.
''Zakuro—'' Kyosuke seemed speechless and devastated.
''What the— that was my first kiss you asshole!'' I yelled as I kept pushing him away.
''Such soft lips for a boy.'' he leaned closer again but this time I moved my head away.
''Let him go!'' yelled Naru as he ran towards Arden.
''Mind your own business kid.'' Arden responded but was interrupted by Reretuac.
''What is this nonsense Arden?! He's not worth it boo!'' yelled Crayola.
''Fight me!'' Reretuac demanded as he launched an attack at Arden but dodged while carrying me, he put me down next to Naru and disappeared quickly.
''He's fast…'' I said to Naru.
''Come here!'' Bulius grabbed Naru by the shirt and pulled him up.
''No!'' I yelled as I attacked him with taijutsu, sensei helped Naru escape just in time and we all managed to knock him down with our combined attacks.
''K-Kyosuke, can you carry Jautis?'' Naru asked as he was short on breath.
''…I mean he DID cause the rocks to collapse on me and I almost died, but sure. You will owe me though.'' he responded as I heard a heavy sigh from Naru.
''I'll heal him when we reach a safe location, sensei don't forget the lantern.'' I reminded him as he grabbed it and began to lead the way.
''I-I know a way'' said Jautis as he tried to stand up on his own but was beaten by his shaking legs and ended up leaning against Kyosuke who seemed a bit uncomfortable.
''Hah, can't catch me!'' said Arden as he was attacking Reretuac at a really fast pace, he got mad and attacked Arden.
''What was that now?'' said Reretuac laughing maniacally, Arden's clothes were dirtied by the attack.
''…'' Arden was silent and still for a moment, it was the perfect time to get away.
''Ooooooooh, you are in big trouble now stupid hoe, I can smell it!'' said Crayola.
''Hurry hurry, I have a feeling it's about to get ugly and we don't want to get involved.'' Naru said as he helped Jautis with Kyosuke.
''White haired old man, you have a nice butt for a fashionless person!'' yelled Crayola as he sat down and began to eat popcorn.
''What?'' said Kotaishi.
[x]
I was running as fast as I could, dashing through my village to only reach one destination, a place where not everyone makes it out, the place where my son is at a life or death situation. I go through many people that wanted to talk to me but my mind is only focusing on one person, my son. I reached the operation room my son was in but I couldn't find him, I see Aki and Sakura talking.
''H-how's my son?'' I asked as I was short on breath.
''The good news is that he's alive.'' I felt a heavy weight lift off of my shoulders, I look into a room past them and see that my wife was laying on a bed.
''What the hell happened to my wife?!'' I walked past Sakura and Aki towards my wife, I grabbed her hand.
''She's fine, she just collapsed when I was about to deliver the news, I wasn't finished.'' Sakura said.
''Well… where's my son?'' I asked in fear.
''He's in a coma…'' Sakura finished as I noticed Hinata started tearing through her eyelids, she opened her eyes and whispered something as she covered her mouth and continued to cry more.
[x]
''Haru… you have to come out of this… please… I-I promise I won't be an asshole to you, I will treat you better, we can be friends again… we can hang out like we used to, we can have fun, like we used to, we can be happy again… just please… don't leave me like this, I need you… it's ok if you don't want to do it for me but… for your brother… please…'' tears began to roll down my eyes, I felt my rib cage compressing my lungs as I gasped for air and wept while I held his hand. He breathed slowly, the machine beeped every time his heart beat, I swear I was going to have an emotional break down if he didn't snap out of his coma.
''I… I can be content by just watching you from a far!... I just want you to be happy and lively, I can't stand seeing you like this, Haru!'' I screamed and screamed his name, I was out of control and even though I knew it I just couldn't stop… I cried more and more…
''Sir, you have to leave.'' a medic ninja came into the room.
''He needs me! You don't understand!'' I yelled some more, he doesn't know… he doesn't know how much I love him and I can't tell him if he's in a never ending dream!
''I understand but you have been screaming and crying, other patients are complaining. Please understand and come back later when you have—''
''When I have what?! I cannot keep my heart silent! Let the world know, no, fuck the world! How can I let him know that I love him?! How?! You don't understand—'' I was grabbed by a couple of medics that had rushed in to assist the other medic, as they pulled me out of the room I kept yelling and looking back at Haru, hoping that he would wake up and stop them from keeping me away from him… he never got up… he stayed sleeping on that bed…
''Let that boy go!'' I looked in front of me and saw the Hokage and immediately they let go of me.
''Hokage-sama, he's been causing a disturbance and—''
''I promise he won't anymore, let me take care of it.'' he placed a hand on my shoulder as I rubbed my eyes from all those tears. I looked ridiculous, I look up to this man, this hero, yet here I am, acting like a stupid five year old… my actions are justified, he would do the same if it were his wife.
''Shuuhei, are you okay?'' asked Lady Hinata.
''…no, I can't be ok, not if he's like this… it's because of me.'' Hinata held my hand as we walked towards Haru, I saw her tear up as at the same time as me.
''Don't blame yourself Shuuhei, you fought alongside him and protected him as he did you.'' responded the Hokage.
''Haruto…'' she whispered as she leaned over and placed a kiss on his forehead.
''He's strong, I believe in him… H-he's going to make it.'' I was amazed that the Hokage was crying, someone as strong as him showing his weakness in front of someone like me. Suddenly they both hugged me and we just cried in silence. I don't know how long we cried for but it felt… peaceful, they understand my feelings and share their pain with me. They have allowed me to share my emotions with them in exchange for theirs. The Hokage had broken the sadness by his stomach growling, we laughed and sniffled as Lady Hinata put on a weak smile on her face and looked at me.
''You must love him so much, you reminded me of myself… my feelings for Naruto are that strong.'' she handed me a tissue and as I cleared my face with it I responded.
''I-I'm sorry for acting that way, I really really love him but it's not pos—''
''Don't say that, there's always hope for a special moment in which you can relay your feelings for him.'' said Lady Hinata to me as she hugged me tightly.
''I must warn you that if you hurt him, I know where you live and what missions you are on.'' the Hokage said in response, I laughed and he smiled in return.
''And don't think you can hide from my Byakugan.'' said Lady Hinata who made me laugh more. Moments passed in silence afterwards, we just watched at Haru's peaceful sleeping face in hopes for an awakening.
''Where is my mother?'' I asked to break the silence.
''She went with Sakura to check on your father, he was attacked while aiding me.'' he responded and saw my worried expression.
''Don't worry he's fine and besides he just got injured because he tried to act cool. It really wouldn't have happened if he had kept his cockiness to himself.'' the Hokage responded and yeah that sounds like my dad.
[x]
''Agh that stings!'' yelled Jautis.
''Just bear with me, I'm almost done.'' said Zakuro as he healed him.
''Well at least we have a small campfire, it's a good thing we have Jautis on our side since he knows his ways on the maze.'' I said as I noticed that my pupils were tired.
''Yeah, I bet you guys wouldn't have found wood on this maze for a campfi—Ack what the hell? Quit it!'' demanded Jautis as Zakuro increased the amount of chakra pressure.
''Sorry, sometimes I can't control it.'' he said sarcastically.
''Here guys, some food.'' Naru had pulled out a couple of bentos from my bag.
''Hey I thought you said you didn't have anymore.'' said Jautis.
''He doesn't, these are my bentos.'' I responded.
''Yeah, sensei bought some bentos just in case.'' said Naru as he handed us our own bento.
''I just wanted to make sure we got something in our stomachs, nothing special.'' I said as I rubbed the back of my head as I waited for praise.
''Done, you can move now Jautis.'' said Zakuro.
''Thanks, now give me that bento!'' said Jautis as my pupils laughed, I was defeated. We all eat as we hear Naru talk about many things, he's very charismatic and makes the team feel at ease in these type of situations. Kyosuke likes to brag about himself a lot and Zakuro is very timid but would join in on a conversation from time to time. Jautis just can't stop eating and does not pause for a chat.
''Alright alright, time to sleep. Roll out your sleeping bags.'' I said as they responded with an 'aw'.
''He's right, go to bed before the monsters come!'' said Jautis as we began to laugh and soon after getting into their sleeping bags they began slumber immediately. I sat against a wall and Jautis sat in front of me.
''You should get some sleep Jautis.'' I said to him.
''You should too.'' he responded, but we both know why we are awake.
''Your brothers might attack, I won't risk these kids so I can't sleep.'' I said to him.
''It's funny… to think that a Minotaur, a monster like me, would be fond of them as they are to me… I guess you and I are alike in this situation.'' he said.
''We are alike in many situations, just because you aren't human doesn't mean you can't feel. I must admit I'm impressed at how much you have helped us.'' I told him as he smiled awkwardly.
''You… humans are kind, I wish my brothers were the same. Tell me, what do you do?''
''Not all of us are kind Jautis, and do you mean me personally or us humans?''
''You personally.''
''Well, I am not a very special. I grew up without a mother but I have two fathers who loved me very much, I graduated at the same age as my classmates, unlike my father who graduated at age six, and I'm not as strong as him but I can manage I guess. And no matter how many times I confess my feelings towards someone I truly love, I still get rejected, how about you?''
''Hah, I asked about you not your problems, that's the same with all you humans!''
''Part of my problems is what defines me as a person at the end of the day.''
''True, but think positive!''
''I'm pessimist.''
''Okay fine, I love eating but I love hunting more, I've recently learned how to swim with my brothers even though I've been terrified of water ever since I was little. I've come to value what I have before I lose it but I can't seem to learn that lesson with food because it's always gone! I'm very talented at tap dancing believe it or not! And sometimes it's better to just let things go because I was mad at my best friend for two months and when I finally cooled down I found out he was never mad at me and instead was worried about me for two months! I think my favorite human food has to be pizza and I also love seeing the sunset even though I can't every day because I have to be in here. I have faith in my brothers despite their stubbornness and I want to learn how to cook so that I can cook obviously.''
''How do you do that?''
''Think positive?''
''Yes…''
''I've learned that others are going through tougher times than me, I'm just one of many. You must try it.'' Jautis urged.
''Heh, maybe in another lifetime if I get lucky.''
''Bah, you are still missing the point!'' he yelled.
''Sure I am.''
[x]
''We have been losing to stuffed animals… how the fuck is this even possible?'' said Dahv as he seemed ready to give up.
''They are really good I tell ya, I've lost many times to them.'' I responded as I eyed on Dahv's naked body, one more loss and his underwear is off!
''I think I'm going to quit…'' he said.
''No no don't!'' I yelled dramatically.
TBC!
