Small footsteps rang in the corridor of a hospital. It turned to another side and came to stop in front of a room. The owner of the feet started to knock on the door with his fingers, then it was opened from the inside; revealing a man that he knows as his father.

"I wanna see nii-chan," said childish voice to the man, "is he okay?"

The man smiled at him as he picked up his child to his embrace. Then, he walked into the room again after closing the door. "You can't go further, Nacchan, because big brother is still sleeping," said the man.

The little boy stared at the sleeping man form in the room before asking his father, "When will he come back home?" And as soon as the question rose, his father hugged him tightly.

"He's trying his best to come back soon, Nacchan…" said the man with trembling voice. He didn't want Naruto to know that his big brother was dead already. However, a mistake it is if he thought that the boy couldn't sense something was fishy.

"Nii-chan… trying his best…" repeated Naruto softly; still looking at the sleeping man. He leaned on his father's shoulder before unconsciously say something inaudible,

"Don't leave me… Pain."

Door was opened by tan fingers, showing a teen with red marks on his cheeks. "How's he?" asked him to the sleeping boy's guardian.

Iruka nodded to greet one of his young master's bodyguards, "Bocchama's asleep already. I had to give him a sleeping pill though," he replied.

Kiba walked through till get beside them. He stared at his master before telling the man to take some rest for he watching over the boy. At first, Iruka didn't want to leave Naruto's side but after the teen assured him, then off he goes, back to his own room.

"Man, uncle's hard to deal with!" Kiba snorted while sitting on the floor, no intention in sitting on a chair next to the bed. "And you too, stupid Master…" whispered him softly. Though it's a sinister for the sleeping boy, his tone was caring. It's as if he didn't want to hurt the other.

"You were throwing me so easily, was that I'm so light or you're the one whose strength against Gaara when he's angry? Guess I don't wanna know about it…" wondered Kiba. He halted a moment before leaning to whisper on Naruto's ear, "Or is it the one you created to protect your heart from falling down…?"

No answer.

Kiba snorted again, "Fine then! If you don't wanna say anything, I'll be the one to say something!" He straightened his form on the floor before saying in determinant voice, "Listen up, you named Kyuubi—I know you can hear me from there! I won't give up protecting Naruto! Even though you use him to abuse people—that's including Naruto as well—I will stop you! I will protect Naruto from you by erasing your presence till the very last drop! I MEAN IT!" yelled him.

"And who said that he will never befriend with us?" Suddenly, another voice filled the room. Kiba turned his head left to find his partner standing, looking at him with playful eyes. "You changed your heart pretty quick, Kiba."

"Shut up, Neji! I'm just trying to be rational!" defended Kiba.

Neji walked to him then took a seat on the chair. He looked at Inuzuka before turning his head to face their master. "We've got a special case here, aren't we?" he said.

Thinking for a moment, Kiba shook his head. "For you it is but for me… no. No, it's not." When Neji stared at him confusedly, he continued, "I have the kinds of him before. He was my previous seer master…"

"Seer? You mean like the one who can see through the future?" asked Neji. "Don't you think that's a bit… irrational—since you said you're trying to be a rational one?" doubted him. Kiba chuckled.

"Trust me, I thought so too until my master showed me my future in the very next day after I knew his ability," Kiba then proceeded to the part when the premonition came true, "and after my sister visited me at master's haunted mansion—that's what it called—Akamaru was barking at me. It's weird for him to act like that unless something terribly bad would happen. You know what, it really was something bad. I would have been in hospital if I went out to deliver letter for big boss that day!" elaborated him.

Neji smirked, "So, your master was telling you not to go out because you'd get hit by a truck drove by an old-drunk-man, that's what you're trying to say?" Kiba's nodding made him sigh, "If that's true, I wanna try to be seen too. Where is he now? Maybe we can ask him to tell us our fortune and how to deal with this kind of master," he said while glancing at Naruto.

The Inuzuka frowned, "You can see him yourself 'cause I don't want to!"

"Afraid, Kiba?" teased Neji, but he received groan for reply. "What? You don't want other bodyguards to meet him?"

"He's dead, Neji! That's why I can join this army of Namikaze!" shouted Kiba. Truth is he didn't want to mention the death of his previous master because it still hurts. It hurts like hell.

"Easy, Man! Sorry for bringing it up…" replied Neji softly. He understood his partner's feeling because losing someone is very painful. Everyone's losing another, that's life. "You must be very close to your master…" added him.

"No, I didn't! In fact, we used to fight each other! I often calling him names and he kept saying I'm stupid or dumb—something like that! Line of friends never crosses us, if you wanna know!" Kiba reciprocated. "We have nothing in common; I like dogs while he liked bugs, I like sweets but he liked spicy foods, I like sunrise, he liked rain—nothing in common really!"

Neji nodded, "I take that it's your responsibility of being his bodyguard?"

Kiba didn't answer directly, "Maybe I'm just trying to be one…"

"Then you succeeded…"

"I can't say—Naruto!" surprised Kiba when he heard another voice was coming from the sleeping figure of his master. Neji surprised as well but he can hide it better than the Inuzuka. "Shouldn't you be sleeping? Iruka's gave you a sleeping pill, right?"

Naruto blinked his eyes before replying, "One or two sleeping pills won't kill me. Since I have Kyuubi, I can't dream anymore… Sleeping doesn't necessary…" He, then, rose to sit and face two of his bodyguards. Staring at Neji first then Kiba, Naruto remembered what Kyuubi had done to him.

"Is it still hurt?"

Neji and Kiba wondering what that's supposed to mean, but then, Kiba reacted to that question. "I'm fine! That's nothing for me!" assured him. He looked at his master hanging his head low as if feeling guilty. It annoyed him, "If I said it's fine, I'm fine! Don't blame yourself!" and at that point, he heard the boy chuckling.

"I don't blame myself, thanks for your concern!" said Naruto sarcastically, made Kiba frown deeper. "You bodyguards should experience like that once a while," added him calmly.

"Don't start 'coz I don't wanna start it, Brat!" Kiba tried to restrain his anger. Why all of his masters always pick up fight with him? Oh yeah, he's the one who started first actually.

"Language, Kiba, you're facing your master," warned Neji. Kiba didn't buy it.

"For your knowledge, Brat, we bodyguards HAVE experience many situations and that's INCLUDE yours! I'll appreciate if you don't underestimate us!" yelled the Inuzuka.

Naruto shook his head calmly. "You really know how to address your master, don't you? Didn't Kyuubi say that it's impolite to call your master 'brat', Jackass?" sneered him.

"Or what? You'll call Kyuubi to throw me again? How weak!" And Kiba just didn't know when to stop. It is up to Neji to stop him from doing anything further.

"We're sorry, Master! I promise to teach him manner till he got it right!" said Neji as he smacked Kiba's head. "If you want to take rest, please do so because I'll bring him back to the rest and ask the others to accompany you," added him.

Naruto shook his hand, "No need for it. I found his accompany me rather interesting, but if you really have to go teach him, please," he said as he slowly lay back on the bed, "and if you don't mind, I want Akamaru to accompany me here,"

Neji smiled as he cut Kiba's protest, "Sure, Master!" Then, he dragged his partner out from the room. Before they disappeared, Naruto said something,

"Think of someone who had had jumped from 20 meters high of a building, beaten for hundreds by enemy, cut own skin for times, and burned by family. When you know the answer, come to me. I'll explain everything…"

Thus, the bodyguards were having a task from their master, and they discussed it directly after received it.

"What do you think, Leader?" asked Neji.

Shikamaru raised an eyebrow before sighing, "Maybe someone related to Namikaze-kun? No data as to conclude this yet,"

"Think of his past that Lee and Chouji told before. There's several people that having contact with Naruto without his father's concern. Maybe he means one of them—

"Actually, they're three people," Gaara cut Kiba's words, "Naruto himself, his brother, and…" he glanced at Sasuke whose eyes closed ignorantly, "Uchiha Itachi," At the mention of the last name, all eyes on the Uchiha. It was the first time they hear that name again after years.

"Your brother, Sasuke?" doubted Neji. When there's no answer, he heard Gaara continuing his explanation.

"Beaten for hundreds by enemy, it's Namikaze Pein; cut own skin for times, it's probably Naruto himself; and burned by family, it's none other than Uchiha Itachi," Gaara stared at Sasuke for a while then to the rest of them, "though I don't have any idea who's crazy enough to jump from 20 meters high of a building…" finished him.

The bodyguards drowned in their own mind as to what's the meaning of their master's task. They kept recalling the story that the two nobles that had gone home told. Trying to make an assumption yet they have no enough data… except for one man among them.

A child jumped from Namikaze Company's building in the night of Christmas. For a miracle to happened, the child was saved and now was under the supervision of his family. No transparent reason for this act but many kept saying that the child has schizophrenia as one of his family murdered by robbers. Namikaze Minato, the child's father, was now being interviewed.

That was a piece of newspaper that Sasuke's read three years ago, and he still remembered it clearly because that was the concern of his job. Not to mention that that has a clue for his late brother. He knew the child was Naruto, but he didn't want to say it to the rest of the bodyguards. If he's about to say, he prefers to say it directly to his master, so that he can have his revenge accomplished.

He doesn't need anyone interfering. Really.

Speaking of revenge, Sasuke has prepared something for Naruto. Should he go for it now? Or still have to wait until appropriate time appears? When will it be?

"I wanna check on Naruto. If he's asleep already, I ask Akamaru to get out silently," Kiba rose from his seat, but when he's about to go, unexpected bodyguard took his duty.

"I'll go," said Sasuke shortly. He didn't wait for Kiba's answer, and then went out to check Naruto. The rest of them just stared at his disappearing form with confused eyes. And Gaara, he felt something will happen in no time.

-.-.-flashback-.-.-

"Aniki," little Sasuke was calling his brother, "Aniki, are you home?" but there was no answer from his beloved one. "It's weird…" He then searched for Itachi. When he got in front of his brother's room, he knocked.

"Aniki, are you there?"

Silence. Sasuke knocked again, but always got no answer. The boy then opened the door that surprisingly unlocked. It's very unusual of his brother for unlocking the door.

"Aniki?" Sasuke called again. He met with silence upon entering the room, and the air was not easy. It was as if something had happened in there. And when he looked at something burned in the center of the room, his heart was starting to beat faster. He stepped back from whatever it is while trying to get a hold of his cell phone.

"Jii-san, can you please come home? Please! Just don't ask anything! COME HOME NOW!" Then, his communication tool fell to the floor. As he know realized what—or who—it is, he screamed.

"ANIKIIII!"

-.-.-end of flashback-.-.-

In a place far away, a man was standing in a gazebo of his residence. He lighted a cigar while paying attention to the scenery before him. As he stared, he was thinking of someone whom he wants so much. He already sent beautiful flowers to that person, and he was sure that he received it gladly.

"Black Roses; don't you know that it represents my sincere feeling to you, Dear?" said the man to no one. He walked in to his garden that full of colorful roses and his favorite of course the black one. He picked a rose then smelled it. After that, he smashed it to pieces, broken beyond repair.

"I hope you still remember our sweet times together, dear one, because I don't want you to think of someone else while having me here," The man slashed the flowers with his own fingers, and as expected, it cut his skin; flowing red liquid that smells fresh. Then, he licked his bleeding fingers; tasting metal for he used to touch guns. A smirk was playing on his lips.

"Dear little one, I will come for you as the time comes. When you know that you don't have any place to go except here with me, you'll be mine, forever."

-.-.-TBC-.-.-
