Chapter 14 Sufferings and Limits

I guess this will be the second to the last chapter and who knows there might be a sequel to this? –Winks- Anyways I have so much to do in such little time. There is barely much time before my brother comes back from Japan and that will be a month away from writing but that is another month or two from now. Anyways hope you are enjoying this story as much as I am. Anyways here is the 14 chapter of SHAD!

'You knew that this would happen do you Naruto?'

Kyuubi thought in his mind waiting for the light to turn green. It had been a long agonizing 4 hours and there were weary for the next news on his condition. Only they had hoped for the best as Kyuubi knew what might happen looking at the walls of the halls. The white colors mocked him for the times he had been here. It was joyful yet very limited. He knew that this will not last any longer.

"Kyuubi I know that you know something that we don't." Itachi muttered not to kindly looking at the red head with an expressionless façade.

"This is not the right time. We need to find out what is going on with Naruto." 'Or God be with us that he will live longer.' He thought biting his lip.

Sasuke watched the door for the past several hours not taking his eyes off of them no matter how tired or strain they were. He needed to know what was wrong with his lover and be the first to know. Itachi leaned against the wall looking the same way while Kyuubi was to busy thinking of something. He clenched and unclenched his hands over and over again hoping that he still had control over his body somehow. He wanted to know that this was not the end when something snapped his mind out of his stupor. Tsunade appeared from the room her eyes tired and showing a sad disoriented look. Ready to collapse Itachi caught her just in time seeing that she was in no condition to tell of what happened to Naruto. Tsunade was put in her office couch to rest up after all the hard work. Sakura came out as well wiping her forehead and also falling to sleep.

"Kyuubi we need to know." Sasuke looked at the red head who tried so hard to stand only for his body to ignore his protests.

"Not now… Sasuke." Kyuubi muttered with his voices slurred.

"Kyuubi did you say something?" Itachi looked at his mouth seeing Kyuubi was trying to speak but there was no sound.

'Kami please give us more time.' Kyuubi thought gritting his teeth in his mind.

Naruto lay on the hospital bed covered with machines and other instruments asleep. Inside his mind he sat in a dark room covering his face. The room had glass all around it and the room sang a sad melody. Pushing his legs closer to his body he was about to cry when he saw someone entering the room.

"Kit is you there?" Kyuubi asked and Naruto looked up with tears all over his face.

"I'm here Kyuu-chan. We don't have much longer do we?" Naruto placed his hands over a small placid glass sitting there with a sad memory playing over its surface.

"Not much kit." Kyuubi shook his head. "Only if Kami gave us more time maybe we can out live this." He walked in the room carrying Naruto's small frame.

"Not much time. Only if we did maybe I could have more time with my parents." Naruto whispered tiredly. "Maybe I and Sasuke could have been together probably married if that's allowed."

Kyuubi held the kit closer to his chest as they both cried. In reality Sasuke and Itachi were waiting with Kyuubi asleep on a bench. Sakura was sent home and told them that they were telling the news tomorrow. Sasuke drummed his fingers over the wood thinking that only good things will happen. Itachi contemplated what had just happened with him and Kyuubi only for him to rub his pale fingers over his lips over and over again. Time passed and the siblings said that they will come by tomorrow to see if Naruto is awake and get some answers. Morning came by with chirpings of birds and the smell of spring tickled their noses.

"Sasuke get ready. Tsunade is calling us. Wear your Hokage suit." Itachi placed two plates down quickly already wearing his Jounnin clothes provided by Tsunade.

"Okay." Sasuke ran upstairs getting ready in at least 5 minutes putting on his coat while he ate.

"Let's go." Kyuubi opened the door walking quickly to the large yellow building.

Tsunade sat in her chair given a cup of coffee from her hard day's work. Shizune worked along the lines helping Tsunade with her paper works filing them away and reading of what's going around the village. Finally the door was opened and in came Kyuubi, Sasuke, and Itachi. Sakura appeared out of nowhere holding a stack of papers.

"I guess it's time to tell you what is going on with Naruto and maybe Kyuubi might expand on it." Kyuubi nodded remembering the time he was sealed in his new body.

-Flashback-

'Kit are you sure that we can go through with this?' Kyuubi asked Naruto who sighed rubbing his forehead.

"It will work Kyuubi. You needed to be human again but you can't destroy Konoha." Naruto placed a body in the middle of the room.

'Naruto you will be fine after this right? We will live through this right?' Kyuubi asked Naruto in his mind.

"…" Naruto made no answer setting up the sealing site.

'Naruto can you hear me?' Naruto looked up answering.

"Yes we will live through this Kyuubi. We will live through this." Naruto sets the area making hand signs as quick as he can.

"Are you ready Kyuubi?" Kyuubi gave a nod in his mind.

"Let's do this!" Naruto made more hand signs making the seal last more than 16 hours and he still made more hand signs even though his chakara was about to gone.

He needed to make sure that all of Kyuubi's chakara is intact never reaching his own body. Time passed and finally the body twitched and the eyes opened slowly. A grunt was heard and Naruto watched in fascination seeing the brown hair turn to a blazing red and the eyes turned from blank green to awakened red. Kyuubi moved his body more when he saw Naruto's eyes glaze over.

"Naruto!" He yelled realizing his deep matured voice catching the blonde.

Naruto heavily breaths looking at Kyuubi tired and weak from the seal.

"I-It w-worked." Naruto muttered and Kyuubi held his hand tightly as the area turned to a normal room with white creamed walls and normal moved furniture.

Kyuubi sniffed the room seeing that he could look at everything normally and he felt the cool wind blew in the room. He carried Naruto feeling strong placing the blonde softly on the brown colored sofa. Naruto opened his eyes and saw that Kyuubi was able to move his body.

"Naruto are you alright?" Kyuubi asked with concern laced in his voice.

"Y-Yeah I'm just gr-Aaaaaahhhhhh!" Naruto finally yelled clutching his chest when something appeared.

"Shinigami-sama." Kyuubi whispered and Naruto looked up frightened.

"Foolish human. You think that you could survive after doing something as placing a demon inside a human corpse! Hahaha how much humans amuse me!" Shinigami laughed out holding his cloth stomach.

"No but please give us time to live here on this earth!" Kyuubi cried bowing down.

"You, the king of demons bow down before me." Shinigami looked amused seeing Naruto look up in fright.

"Fine since you care of this foolish human. You live longer but I will come back." Shinigami left the area and Naruto's pain slowly subdued making him breathe evenly.

"Naruto let's enjoy this time we have." Kyuubi held Naruto and cried as Naruto sighed.

"Yeah let's enjoy the time we have left." Naruto said and fell unconscious exhausted from what had just happened.

"Naruto? Naruto!" Kyuubi screamed and Naruto slapped his face weakly.

"Shut up stupid fox. I'm slee-"Naruto closed his eyes in deep sleep.

"Night Naruto." Kyuubi held a blanket covering Naruto's body falling to sleep.

-End of Flashback-

Kyuubi sighed and looked at Tsunade waiting for her explanation hoping that Naruto only had a very bad cold and Shinigami was not taking them yet. He never said his explanation to Itachi and Sasuke along with Naruto must have to still work their problems.

"You guys Naruto is in coma but… When he wakes up he has a time limit here." Tsunade answered and everyone was shocked.

Sakura dropped the stacks she held in her arms looking at Tsunade and at Kyuubi. Fear appeared in the Youki's eyes and he was about to cry. Sasuke slumped his back on the wall making the words replay in his mind over and over again.

"N-Naruto has not much longer to live." Tsunade repeated ready to cry as well when Kyuubi stood up facing the ex-Hokage quickly asking.

"Where is his room?"

"Room 609." Tsunade looked at Kyuubi. "Tell us this isn't happening." Tears spilled down her eyes. "Please tell us why Naruto is like this."

"I-I… When I was sealed in this body the same day Shinigami came." He saw that Sasuke looked at him in shock.

"He came but that means." Sakura covered her mouth crying. "He came back for Naruto."

Kyuubi nodded at the explanation turning away when he walked to the hospital entering Naruto's room. He saw that Naruto was up and awake looking at the white walls. An IV plastered his right wrist and he gave a small sad smile. Kyuubi pulled up a chair looking at Naruto's paled frame.

"It's almost time right Kyuubi." The red head nodded and Naruto griped the rough hand seeing the door open.

The group all rushed in and looked at Naruto with sad eyes. Naruto adverted his eyes to see Sasuke look back at him with eyes of not accepting the truth.

"Sasuke." Naruto's voice was hoarse and his arms reached up.

"Naruto this can't be happening right? I just…" Naruto pulled his hands back and almost cried.

"It's happening Sasuke." Naruto wiped his tears. "I can't stop Shinigami from this happening."

"No! I…. You will live longer!" Sasuke ran off and Naruto looked at the door while everyone watched on what Naruto's going down when the blonde sobbed.

"I-I'm sorry Sasuke!" He cried covering his face with tears flowing.

"I love you Sasuke." Naruto clutched the sheets.
