Do Demons Cry?
Ch.2
Odd Feelings and Strange Dreams
The dark clouds slowly parted, allowing the full moon to illuminate the placid lake far below, on it's lonely shores stood a blonde young man. He stood there, staring into the motionless lake, his expressionless face was a stoic as the lake itself, showing no emotion, a kunai shook in his hand, it's glittering surface bouncing moonlight off it onto his face, he swallowed hard, "No one will find me for a long time…maybe I'll sink to the bottom…" A sad smile spread across his pained face as tears began to roll down them, "I'll be doing everyone a favor…I'll be dead, they'll be happy, and for once even I'll be happy…" He choked back the sobs threatening to escape his throat as he raised the kunai to his left wrist.
The blade trembled as the cool metal pressed against his flesh, the damp night air had left his skin damp, hiding his sweat, he leaned forward slightly so he would fall into the water. Another gulp, "What should I say? Goodbye cruel world?" he mumbled under his breath, "I'm going to do this…I have to…" The blade pressed down harder onto his wrist, a small line of red ran down into his open palm, a relief ran over his face before he dug the blade deep into the small cut. A river of crimson ran down his arm into his open palm. He watched as the color drained from his face on the lakes surface, he could see under the water, it was beginning to turn red. Every drop of blood bringing him closer to ultimate relief, he fell to one knee as his head began to swim, dots floating by in his vision, he forced a smile, "Finally…We can all be happy…" The black of night surrounded him.
:Dream:
A cool breeze blew across his face as he stood, he stood? Dead…maybe, "Am I…de...where am I?" He could see a huge tree in the distance it must have been at least 200 feet high, with branches spreading far out over what appeared to be a city, or town. He stepped back with a start, he was standing right at the edge of a very steep looking cliff which ended far below him, he narrowed his azure eyes as he looked back towards the city, black clouds rose up behind the city, the wind seemed to be coming from that direction. "Hello there Naru-kun…" He jumped around in surprise, already prepared for an attack, before him stood a shirtless man, his pale skin reflecting the sunlight…the sunlight? There was no sun, just blue sky overhead, accented by a few white clouds. But the man, or monster that stood before him was freakishly out of place with his spiky red hair and pale skin, along with his deep red eyes. The one thing that really caught Narutos eyes though where the nine red tails that stuck out the back of his black pants. "W-who are you…?" The man smiled, "I could ask you the same thing, what happened to the loudest ninja of Konoha? The boy who knew he'd grow up to be the next Hokage, the boy who had no worries?"
The man walked closer to him, despite his cold appearance, his nature seemed kind, familiar. A warm hand found it' s way up to the scared cheeks before dropping to his wrists, "Naruto, I am Kyuubi…this is what I have become inside of you…Why?" He held Narutos bloody wrists up to his own face, "They are not worth it…Both you and I know that…" A bright blush spread across the blondes face, he cursed himself for it, "Even if you are Kyuubi…" He found himself at a loss for words, how could someone explain wanting their own death? "I…I couldn't go on the way I was…How could anyone?" He felt himself beginning to panic, suddenly getting choked up, "Where am I? What is that?" he pointed to the clouds and tree in the distance," Who are you?" Kyuubi looked as though he'd been hit, he stood there while he watched his little Kit crumble into a sobbing heap, he bent down and wrapped his lean cold arms around him, "It's okay Naru-kun…things look bad now…" he looked off into the distance at the boiling dark clouds, "Very bad…but things always work out…You still have people who care about you…Go to them."
He picked the both of them up and held Naruto at arms length and stared at the mess that had become of him. Giving a sigh he brought him into another embrace, "Just remember that little Kit, people care…I care…They will save you…" He nodded as he hugged the man he now knew was Kyuubi back. He stepped back away from him, staring at the too lush green grass around his bare feet, his eyes still glassy, "You never answered me…" he said in barely above a whisper, "Where are we?" A slight smile worked its way onto the human kitsune's face, "Nowhere little Kit…Nowhere…"
:Dream End:
He awoke with a start, but his eyes found nothing but darkness around him, he felt around him, his was lying down, on a bed? His hand hit a wall to his right, "Damn…ow…" He rubbed his knuckles, but just as quickly stopped, bandages where wrapped around his wrists, he searched around for a light. With a click everything lit up around him, blinding him for a moment, "What the hel…Sasuke? What're you doin here?" He quickly glanced around "here", "here" turned out to be his cabin. He got nothing but a very disturbing look from his once rival, he went to get out of bed, expecting Sasuke to tell him to sit back down, but he did no such thing, rather he let him get up. However, Sasuke was sitting between him and the door on a wooden chair, "Excuse me Sasuke, I need to go pee…" He began to walk past him, he stopped as his rivals strong grip on his wrists, Sasuke roughly pulled him back in front of him, still holding his wrist, "Just what the hell do you think your doin?" Naruto shouted at him, he was losing it again, this time not in front of his imaginary friend, but his quite real rival.
Sasuke's face went into unreadable mode before Naruto felt a sharp pain on his face, Sasuke had just slapped him! He could feel the heat rising to his face, but before he could do anything Sasuke exploded, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NARUTO? WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU DOING?" He gripped his wrist tighter, making Naruto wince, "Sasuke-kun…you're hurting me…" He tried to free his wrist, but his rival had a tight grip on it, Sasuke stood, glaring at the wriggling Naruto, "And do you know how much you would of hurt us?" He stopped and let go of him, had he said us? "I mean Kakashi-sensai…and…and everyone…everyone else.." He swallowed before turning away, a slight blush creeping onto his face, he stopped before opening the door, revealing that it was still night out, or early morning, he turned to look at Naruto, who was rubbing his vary sore wrists and sighed, "Kakashi-sensai will be here in the morning, you'd better be here…" He slammed the door behind him, leaving Naruto with very sore wrists and many questions.
My bad attempt at making fluff…sorta, well at least developing plot! Anyway, it's sorta short, and Sasuke is OOC kinda, but overall…yeah…Have you ever noticed that you can write better at night? I really hope you like this, it just sorta came out…I'll revise it later unless I see a real need to change it, and next chapter Kakashi finally shows up! Yay! Weird… :P OH! And HUGE thanks to all those who reviewed! I SUPER APPERICIATE IT! –glomps them all- Thanks! Oh, and questions in the reviews, is it gonna be SasaNaru…
