"Onii-chan, where are you?"

There was no sound for his calling,

"It's dark... I can't see anything..."

no reply for his fear,

"Onii-chan, are you there? Why did you leave me? It's dark here! I'm scared!"

no more answer for his questions,

"Onii-chan! Answer me, please...?"

no voice to talk... no anthem to reply his shaking tone.

No one's here.
Nobody's here, not even a single ant.

Only him... dark... and a soulless body...
a corpse,
a man corpse with messy orange hair which already covered by red roses' liquid. A corpse whom he knew as one of his beloved, who had a black hole right in the centre of his head,

"O-nii... chan..."

his brother.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

His nightmare will not be over... yet.

Chapter 4: Sleepless & Restless

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"... Nii-chan..."

Soft voice heard as Iruka washed another towel to be put on his young master's forehead. Quickly he approached Naruto's side and reached for his hand. "Bocchama, are you okay?" asked him. The said boy stirred for a moment before he looked at his birth-guardian and smiled.

"I'm okay, Iruka-sensei," answered Naruto. He stared at Iruka's brown eyes that held worries inside then reassured, "Really... I'm fine," said him softly as he squeezed the hand that held his.

"Thanks goodness! I can't stand it if there's something happen to you!" stated Iruka, relieved. "Please, don't make me scared again..."

Naruto gave a small smile. "I'll try..." he said, "though I can't promise you that."

Finally, Iruka formed a smile on his lips. He understood what his student meant. So, he just smiled and nodded himself.

Right in front of the blonde's room, the bodyguards and two noble guests were standing on the side of the open door, watching every move that happened inside. Some faces showed relief while the others showed nothing in emotion. Nobody speaks a word till Iruka tucked Naruto in and told him to sleep. Then, he went to where the rest were standing.

"He's got a fever, probably because he's too tired these days," told Iruka. "I think we should leave him because he needs some rest," suggested him again.

"Alright. Kiba and Gaara will accompany Namikaze-kun here," Shikamaru said to Iruka, mentioning the two of his subordinates, "Chouji and Lee-san," he looked at the fat and green-hem teens, "both of you may tell us in the next room with the rest of us. Is that okay?"

Chouji nodded, while Lee, "Yosh! Let's get going!" shouted with whispering voice.

"May I hear the story as well?" suddenly Gaara raised a demand question which made almost all the others turned their attention to him. "Uchiha Sasuke can replace me to accompany Namikaze-san," added him as he glance at the raven haired teen.

"Why so sudden?" asked Neji, after returning from the director's office which is empty and he couldn't find the man, curiously.

Gaara stared at him for a moment before he answered, "Nothing in particular. I don't feel it's my time to get near him yet." He started to walk towards another room, "Maybe someday, I will accompany him by myself."

Hearing that, the leader of the bodyguards let a sigh came from his mouth. He understood his comrades very well until it makes his head hurt. Well, who would not have headache when you surrounded by stubborn fellows?

"Fine. Kiba and Sasuke, Namikaze-kun is in your responsibility. Do your job as what you have done before," said Shikamaru firmly. "Do you copy?"

"Copy that!" Kiba spoke as he took a glance on his master, while the Uchiha did not say anything.

Instead, he got a pair of jade eyes locked on to his onyx. No need words to understand the meaning behind those orbs; he knew it very damn well. Thus, he secretly formed four words to the red hair.

... Mind your own bussiness.

Upon receiving that message, Gaara gave him a very sly smirk. He gave the Uchiha a message too.

... You're welcome.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Hey, are you sleeping?"

Uh? Who is it?

"Come on, Partner. You don't have much time to sleep. Wake up now."

Wake up? Am I sleeping?

"Haha, silly boy! If you're not sleeping, then what? Eating? Flying? Aw, c'mon!"

... Hey, who are you? Who am I speaking to?

"Moi? Are you just... asking moi?"

Well, who else?

"You speak the truth?"

Err, yeah… I don't know you…

"SHIT YOU! BLOODY HELL!"

W-what?! Who are you referring to?!

"YOU, IDIOT! YOU! How come you forget moi? Moi the one who save you all the time! YOU MUST REMEMBER MOI!"

Saving me? What are you talking about? I don't even recognize your voice! How come I know you?!

"You dare to forget moi, huh? You want moi to punish you again?"

P-punish me again? What are you talking about? W-what will you do?

"Just wait and see. I'll make you regret for forgetting moi."

H-hey! What will you do to me?!

"Relax~ you'll know when the time comes..."

W-wait! What the—

"… my Naruto."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Before I came to live in this mansion, I was a teacher at Konoha Elementary School and bocchama was one of my first students," Iruka started the story, "back then, he was a brilliant one. He did everything perfectly, no mistake, no fault, excellent. He was also very kind. His warm-hearted was something people cherish. He really was a wonderful boy, until an accident took 'him' away..."

"Him? Who was 'him'?" asked Neji.

For a moment, Iruka did not say anything. He seemed like thinking whether he must tell or not, but when he saw the look on the two nobles' faces, he gave in. "His brother... Namikaze Pain," told him.

At that mention, almost all members of the bodyguards had their eyes widened. They could not believe what have they heard from their master's guardian. It was almost like a shock to begin with.

"Sure I'm not hearing that name? Is it for sure that it was his name? Namikaze Pain—let alone—Pain?!" doubted Kiba, mimicking Iruka's worried face.

"Yes, it is. Bocchama's elder brother was indeed Pain-sama," spoke Iruka firmly. "At first, I didn't want to mention it but a must it does for me telling you the story," added him.

Shikamaru sighed before mumbles, "It'll be much troublesome..."

Chouji looked at Shikamaru then asked, "What is it Shika? Is there any problem with Namikaze Pain?"

Shikamaru never answers because Gaara spoke almost at the same time as the question—as if he knew something behind it.

"Namikaze Pein. He was an S-Class Bodyguard who had the best score with the missions. He actually worked alone; however, five years ago he got a partner, a prodigy one. Two years later, he died in an accident," finished Gaara with flat tone.

Lee's eyes widened, "S-Class Bodyguard? Pain-san was a bodyguard?!" doubted him as he looked at the bodyguards. "I can't believe it..." murmured him then.

"I'm sorry I hid it from you, Lee-san, Chouji-san, but it is a must..." regretted Iruka to the two nobles. "Pain-sama was a very skillful person. He was also kind, especially to Naruto-bocchama. That's why, when Pain-sama died, Naruto-bocchama 'died' as well..." Iruka stopped for a moment before continuing, "They were very close that can't be separated..."

"Pain-sama came here, to this mansion, when Naruto-bocchama was ten years old. Before he came, he was with Jiraiya-sama—his and Naruto's grandfather—to learn how to be a great successor. Then, he came and Naruto-bocchama no longer alone. Pain-sama really took care of Naruto-bocchama, and Naruto-bocchama became very happy to finally have a brother. They were inseparable... until that day... the day when Naruto-bocchama got kidnapped by Minato-sama's enemy."

The picture of hurtful-young-master came into Iruka's mind. He felt pain and useless at that time he couldn't save his student. He couldn't pretend not to worry either. Oh, he felt the guilty filling his heart.

"Naruto-bocchama was saved by Pain-sama, alone; with no one came to help him. He was alone in the enemy's yard, fighting till he got his precious. But then, when Pain-sama bleeding to death, it was the time when Naruto-bocchama changed..."

"... Changed?" confused Neji.

"Yes. He changed into his other personality..."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The room was filled with silence. No one speaks with no one, till curiosity kills the brown haired teen.

"Oi, Uchiha, did you ever have a relationship with him before?" asked Kiba, "you know... about Naruto. I realized that he kept staring at you after we introduced ourselves, and it kinda suspicious," added him.

The raven haired teen stayed in silence until he titled his head—closing his eyes. "Why asking?" Sasuke asked back.

Kiba was a bit startled because the stoic Uchiha indeed answered him. But then, he recovered, "I'm curious. That's all," answered him.

Sasuke stood up then walked to one of the bookshelves. He read the tittles then took one from the top. "Don't let it bother you," spoke him flatly.

"Tch, you always like that! You know almost everything, but yet, you never allow people to know you! That's kinda unfair, y'know!" protested Kiba as he—too—stood from the chair, a bit burning with rage.

"Inuzuka," stated Sasuke heavily, "it's not your business," cleared him as he returned to his chair then began to read.

"I'm sorry for interrupting something! But it IS my business now!"

Sasuke raised his eyebrows, seemingly confused. Kiba continued his sentences.

"Since Naruto is my master now, I HAVE a RIGHT to KNOW about him!" stated Kiba firmly. "How am I supposed to protect my master if I don't even know anything concerning him?!" asked him furiously.

Now a smirk found its place on Sasuke's face. "A while ago you treated him as if he was your enemy. Now you see him as your precious master," said the Uchiha, "I hope you're not making a lame joke."

"I'm not joking!" shouted Kiba with embarrassment. "I just realized that he—" he stopped for a moment to take his breath, "—he is the same..." ... with my previous master.

For a moment, Sasuke stared at the Inuzuka. Then he let out a sigh, "You'll know about him as time goes on... There's no need to hurry..."

... although I can't tell how long he will 'stay' here.

Again, the room clouded by muteness. The two bodyguards were playing with their own minds. Questions were left about a dozen boxes in their brain. They haven't got the answer.

"Ya wanna know 'bout Moi, huh?"

Suddenly, a heavy version of Naruto's voice took the silence away. Kiba snapped at that voice—glad to know his master was awake. However, Sasuke didn't feel the same.

"You made us worried, Brat! Don't do that again!" spoke Kiba upon approaching Naruto.

"Inuzuka, WATCH OUT!" shouted Sasuke out of blue.

"Hee? Wha—" Before Kiba could finish his words, a smack made its way to his face—sending him to the bookshelves and burying him in a sea of books plus glasses and woods.

"'Brat'? That's not the way you call your Master, Kid," Naruto spoke again, this time with heavier tone. "Should I teach you a polite manner in addressing Moi?" asked him as he chuckled.

"Well, well, who I have there now?" Sasuke said in teasing tone with smirk curved on his lips. "Ain't Naruto, I guess?"

"Hmm~ long time no see, Sasuke. Do you miss me?" Naruto stepped on the floor from the sofa he laid before; a sly smirk now forming on his face.

"... Never once I forget you, Kyuubi."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Kyuubi?"

Iruka nodded, "Yes. Kyuubi. He is Naruto's other personality," he said. "Kyuubi is not like Naruto who has a kind yet fragile heart. He is a rebel, cold and arrogant personality. I can say that he is the cruelest among all the cruelest..." explained him with worried face.

Chouji and Lee—who have known it—only stared at the floor. They recalled the memory when they first met the Kyuubi guy. They realized that he was very crazy.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards seemed confuse. They were never facing this kind of situation before. And now, their master is like that.

"Wait a minute," halted Shikamaru, "where did he get another personality? I mean, how?" asked him.

"Kyuubi appeared right after Pain-sama was shot by the enemy when Naruto-bocchama was kidnapped," answered Iruka. "I think it's because bocchama has been holding back his emotions for times," added him.

"Neji-kun, you asked Minato-sama about the danger in guarding Naruto, right?" asked Iruka while Neji then nodded. "This is the danger: you all can be killed by Minato-sama's enemy who wants Naruto. If you asking me why, the answer is because bocchama has an incredible IQ that is hidden in Kyuubi's mind. That will also representative the reason why he'd been kidnapped for times," cleared Iruka seriously.

Okay. Now the bodyguards have three clear answers:
1. Pein, the S-Level of Bodyguards, was Naruto's elder brother,
2. Naruto has a split personality-a cruel one, and
3. Naruto has an incredible IQ. What else those make their burden heavier? Well, they like challenges anyway.

Suddenly, a loud thud was heard from the other room, Naruto's study room. The thud was now covered by the sound of broken glasses against the floor.

Before the bodyguards and the two nobles could speak anything, Iruka rushed to that room. No need space time for the others to follow him.

"Bocchama! What hap—"

"Kiba! Sasuke! What the—"

Those questions were cut off by an appearance of someone like the heir of Namikaze... but not the real one.

"Well, hallo, Iruka," greeted 'Naruto', "two fuckin' nobles and—" he chuckled then smirk evilly, "—the rest of the nasty bodyguards, I guess..." said him, "very funny..."

Iruka stepped forward carefully. "... Kyuubi-bocchama?" whispered him almost inaudible.

'Bocchama? Master?' thought Neji. "Who are you?" asked him.

'Naruto'—we call him Kyuubi now—was laughing so hysterically. His eyes now as red as bloody red roses, no longer blue sky like usual. When he stopped his laughter, he shot Neji with predatory eyes.

"Who. Am. I? You don't know who am I?" doubted Kyuubi. Then, he glared at Iruka, "You haven't tell them yet, filthy human?!" scowled him as he took Iruka by the neck in no time and slammed him on the wall. "You better apologize to moi right now!" commanded him.

"I-I-I'm s-sorry... K-Kyuubi-bocchama..." apologized Iruka.

"Kyuubi! Let him go!" shouted Lee bravely. "He's your teacher!"

"Teacher?" Kyuubi repeated Lee's last word, "even he's not worth to be called human, Lil green bald turtle," replied him cockily, making Lee's a bit taken aback. Chouji made a move to hold Lee's arm, preventing him to cause any hurt to their blonde friend's body.

Kyuubi let Iruka go then he off to where a body lying below the scattered mirror and a pool of books; a smirk playing on his lips upon grabbing his victim from the crash before. "This is what you call a bodyguard? For Moi, nonetheless? Moi don't think so." He threw Kiba to the bodyguards who caught him in time. "Poor thing."

This time, Gaara walked to where Kyuubi is. He gave the Uchiha—who still stood motionly, looking at the situation with emotionless expression—a code that only them would understand before facing the Kyuubi guy again.

"Kyuubi... I suppose?"

Kyuubi did not answer. He just stared at Gaara and folded his arms.

"Return our Master back," spoke Gaara flatly.

"Hmm, I don't think so," said Kyuubi with menacing tone.

"That's not your body," Gaara spoke again, "that's Naruto's." This time, his emerald eyes were burning in green flames.

Kyuubi leaned on the wall behind him without letting his eyes off from that framboise face. Slowly, a playful smirk curved on his lips. "Indeed..." said him, "it's not my own body but..." His red eyes were staring at the Uchiha with mischievous aura.

"Naruto is mine! Forever!"

With that, his body went limp before finally caught the floor. Iruka rushed to his side and took his beloved master on his arms. A dead silence now covering the room.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Onii-chan? Show yourself! The game's over now!"

No answer.

"Onii-chan, come here please?"

Again, there was no answer.

"Haa? Onii-chan? Why are you sleeping here? Wh—red? Why are you using red blanket? I thought you hate red..."

For times, no answer came from the body laid before him.

"Onii-chan... Ahaha~ are you still alive? Or dead, already? Khukhukhu~"

There was a corpse with red roses scattered in front of Naruto... Kyuubi, for exact.

"Pain-nii-chan, I love you so much. That's why..."

That's why...

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Sapphire orbs showing themselves to the surface after glowing inside a black hole. Along with them, fingers lifted themselves as if trying to reach something uncertain. For a moment, there was nothing happened. Then, another fingers covered the first one, catching the orbs' attention.

"Bocchama..." whispered a voice, calling its young master, "how do you feel?" asked Iruka.

Naruto stared at his guardian and slowly smiled, reassuring that he was fine. His blue eyes looking at Iruka's brown pair; asking for something that he knew that his guardian knows too well.

'He came, didn't he?'

With worried face, Iruka nodded. "But it's alright. Nobody got hurt!" added him quickly—didn't want his young master to feel guilty. However, what he got was a sad smile from his blonde student.

"I know, Iruka-Sensei..." said Naruto softly, "I know..."

Then, Naruto tried to get up from his bed but Iruka did not allow him to do so.

"No, Bocchama," said Iruka softly, "you must lay down. You've got a fever."

For a while, Naruto stared at his guardian. Taking no time after that, he held Iruka like his life depends on the man's warmth. He really felt like he needs it.

"Bocchama?"

"... I'm sorry, I... really am sorry!" whispered Naruto with trembling voice. "I'm not strong enough to hold him down... I'm too weak to even maintain my own presence..." added him huskily, "I'm sorry..." He tightened his grip on the man's fabric.

"Hey, Lovely boy~"

Suddenly, Kyuubi's voice rang inside Naruto's head.

"That's not your punishment, Y'know!" Kyuubi spoke again with laughter. "That's just a show off, to make them know moi—the other you—and how you can't resist moi!" Again, he laughed so loud; made Naruto covered his ears.

"Stop it…" murmured Naruto against his guardian's chest.

"Bocchama?" Iruka was confused.

"Now, you will never forget moi anymore! You will never hush moi! You are MOI!"

"Stop it… stop it… stop it!"

"Bocchama?!"

"You are mine, Naruto! That Uchiha brat will never have you! He WILL NEVER GET YOU!"

"STOP IT!"

"Hey, Naruto, YOU ARE MINE!"
