Anyway here's another chapter!

...

Naruto jolted up in his bed. It was the same dream again. Naruto had that dream quite often, not every day but every week. Naruto berried his head under the covers and exhaled deeply. He hated the dream the most. It was his worst nightmare to be ignores and hated by his friends like that. The dream had made Naruto thought who his friends were really and who were not.

The dream was his nightmare also for the fact that always in the end he was alone. His parents died when Naruto was little, and he had never had a proper family. No one wanted to take him under their wing. I mean, who would. He was the vessel of the nine-tailed fox. Naruto didn't understand it perfectly himself. He only knew he has fox like smell and his appearance sometimes chances when he has powerful emotions.

But why Naruto. Why he had to be the vessel of the nine-tailed fox? There wasn't anything special about Naruto. He was just born in the wrong time and in the wrong place. Naruto really missed his parents sometimes even though he never knew them. He just missed the feeling of somebody caring are you healthy and how are you.

"PIIP PIIP PIIP"

Naruto stood up and hit the off button from his alarm clock. He really wasn't in the mood to go on a mission today. They needed to guide somebody somewhere. Naruto hoped it wouldn't be the same kind of mission they went with the bridge builder.

After Naruto did all of his morning things he still had 30 minutes before they would meet with Team 7. He decided to go to Sasukes house. Naruto didn't know were they friends or not. Sure, he cared about Sasuke and thought about him as a friend. He just didn't know how Sasuke felt about him. Sasuke had saved him numerous of times but still Naruto didn't know did he do it because he had to or because he wanted to. Still Naruto knew they were rivals and they fought all the time. But that didn't have to mean they weren't friends.

Somehow every time Naruto was sad, scared or lonely Sasukes presence was enough to calm him down. Maybe it was Sasukes scent. Naruto was the vessel of the demon fox after all. Or then it could be Sasukes calm appearance. He never shows too much emotions and in that he was the straight opposite of Naruto. Naruto always showed his feelings.

Before Naruto knew it he was outside of his door and walking to Sasukes apartment. Maybe Sasuke overslept and would be glad that Naruto was there to wake him up. Or then not. He could also beat Naruto to death for coming to his house.

Luckily it was really early, and Naruto could walk on the streets without any cloak or hood. He let his blond hair to bath in the first stays of sunlight. It was 6.40 a clock. Naruto had 20 more minutes to go. He remembered that there was a street what would save him 5 minutes. He decided to turn there.

The street was not a friendly neighborhood and reeked like cigarettes. But Naruto didn't care. It couldn't be anything worse that he had already experienced. Curtains in front of the windows were all closed and no one was around. Naruto relaxed a bit. It had been a long time since he was able to walk on the streets. Always there was someone who recognized him and always there was someone who hated him before even knowing him.

Suddenly Naruto heard a whiz next to his ear. Then he felt pain in his forehead.

"Watch your head, you filthy little fox!", he heard someone say followed by laughing from at least 2 people.

Naruto wasn't surprised. This normally happened when he lowered his guard. He cursed because he was too lazy in the morning to tie his headband to his temple. Instead he had put it hanging from his neck. Now he felt something warm going down his face. Wait! Was it blood? That was weird because normally the kyuubi healed his wounds in a heartbeat. Lucky for Naruto he always carried a small first aid kit with him for these kinds of cases.

Naruto didn't hear the voices of the rock throwers, so he backed up a little and sat on a wooden box. He took out a small mirror and looked at the wound. It was weird. Normally if the kyuubi didn't heal the wounds he at lest stop the bleeding. Now the wound just kept bleeding no matter how much Naruto tried to clean it up. He took out bandages and wrap it around his head. Naruto hoped it would help to the bleeding. The wound wasn't big, so it was weird how it didn't close. Naruto put his headband to cover the bandage. The last thing he needed was to the team 7 to know about how he was vandalized when he was alone.

After covering the bandage with his headband Naruto continued his trip to Sasukes house without another interruption.
