CHAPTER 2
A New Home
It was a relatively peaceful morning in Konoha- "AYAME!"- or not.
Ichiraku Ayame sat in the hospital, dead to the world around her. She could do nothing but think of yesterdays events, her father had raped her, it replayed in her head again and again. So lost in thought she was that she didn't realize the extra presence in the room until her name was yelled in her ear, making her jump in fright.
Seeing her jump and shake Naruto couldn't help but feel guilty, he wasn't sure what happened to her but he knew he shouldn't have yelled like that, no matter how worried he was.
"I'm sorry Ayame-chan, I didn't mean to scare you, are you OK? How are you feeling? What happened?"
Finally coming to she realized who it was that had startled her so, and before she could contemplate the meaning of her own words, her mouth betrayed her mind and heart.
"YOU! IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU, YOU MONSTER! MY FATHER RAPED ME BECAUSE I CARED FOR YOU! HE WANTED TO PUNISH ME, its all your fault..." the last bit was not but a whisper but the venom in her voice made him flinch all the same.
" your right, it is my fault and I'm sorry, I know you'll never forgive me but I am sorry. I'm going to leave you alone now, goodbye"
So dead were his words that Ayame finally realized her own words and the guilt she felt override her pain.
"N-naruto! Wait! I'm sorry I didn't mean it!"
"I'm sorry Ayame, I'm sorry"
For the first time the people of Konoha didn't sneer and glare as he walked home. Instead the stared and avoided him with extreme caution. It's all they could do. Never before had they seen the young boy so... Empty, not even after they beat him had he ever been like this.
'She's right, it's all because of me, it's because of me that she was hurt, and now she hates me like the others'
'IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT KIT. IT'S MINE.'
His eyes widen but he says nothing, he can't explain why but he knows speaking out loud to this voice would be pointless.
'Who are you? What are you talking about?'
'I... AM THE KYUUBI. I HAVE BEEN SEALED WITHIN YOU SINCE THE DAY IF YOUR BIRTH BUT I WAS UNABLE TO CONTACT YOU UNTIL YOUR WILL SLIPPED ENOUGH FOR ME TO LOOSEN THE SEAL. IT'S BECAUSE OF ME YOUR HATED, AND BECAUSE IF ME THAT YOUNG VIXEN WAS HURT AS SHE WAS'
'Your... Inside me?'
'YES'
'I'
'YOUR NOT ME. YOUR NOT A MONSTER AND YES'
' what? How did you know what I was going to say?'
'IM IN YOUR HEAD KIT'
'Oh, wait you said yes, yes to what?'
'YOU WEREN'T GOING TO ASK IT BUT YOU THOUGHT IT IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND. YOU WANTED TO USE MY POWER TO KILL THE VIXENS FATHER'
'You'd let me use your strength?'
'OUR STRENGTH, THE SEAL USED BY THE YONDAIME IS STRONG. IT FUSED OUR SOULS, MY POWER IS YOURS, THINK OF ME AS A SECONDARY PERSONALITY WITH A SECONDARY SOURCE OF CHAKRA.'
'Is that why I have these... Abilities?'
'YEP AND YOU'LL GET MORE BUT YOU HAVE TO WORK FIR THEM'
'Wouldn't have it any other way'
'I KNOW, SO ABOUT THAT REVENGE'
'On it'
Fifteen minutes later
'You sure he's here?'
'YEP I CAN FEEL HIS CHAKRA'
Naruto stood outside an old shed in the forest. He had made his way there by fallowing Kyuubi's instructions and was ready to rip out the old mans throat for what he did to Ayame.
'GET READY KIT. IM GONNA SEND A BIT IF MY CHAKRA YOUR WAY BUT BE READY, ACCORDING TO YOUR MEMORIES THIS GUY IS AN EX-NIN THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH REASON TO BE CAUTIOUS'
'right'
As he approached the shed he feels a sudden burst of power but can't control it's sudden release, which in turn informed his target to his approach.
Tuechi burst from the window, attacking with reckless abandon.
He struck at Naruto with blades held in each hand.
It was obvious he hadn't fought in many years, he was slow and his strikes sloppy but to a child not yet in the academy he was enough to cause trouble.
Naruto used his small size and the speed he gained from his partners chakra to his advantage. As Tuechi overextended a strike at Naruto's neck he found a clawed hand in his gut.
"D-damn you demon bastard!"
"you can damn me all you want you sick fucker, I've been cursed by beings far more powerful than a lowly worm like you"
"you won't ...get away with... this, the village will have your ...head for killing one of their own you demon ...scum"
"not likely, I won't be there punching bag anymore, and neither they, nor you, will ever hurt those I care for ever again"
As the man breathed his last Naruto began to panic, he had told the truth, he wouldn't let his precious people get hurt ever again but the old bastard had a point, how could he protect anyone if he were executed?
'YOU COULD LEAVE TO TRAIN'
'but how, where could I go that I could get stronger AND they couldn't find me? I'm good with stealth but I can't outrun a hunter-Nin'
'I HAVE A PLAN'
'I'm all ears'
Thirty minutes later at the Hokage's office
"Please Hokage-sama believe me! Naruto was crushed by what I said, he may do something drastic, I just want to check on him but he never told me where he lived, please, help me"
"very well child, I'll help you, but you must promise to do no more harm to him, I understand that you are hurt, in more ways than one, but he's been hurt far too much as it is"
" I understand Hokage-sama, I just want to make sure he's OK and to apologize"
The old man nods and grabs her shoulder before disappearing, leaving behind nothing but leaves.
Naruto's apartment
"it's dark"
"yes Naruto-kun tends to keep his apartment like this during the day"
"because of his sensitive eyes"
"How dud you know that?"
"I've watched him a lot, it's hard to miss at times"
"Yes well, it appears he's not here"
"do you have any idea where he may be ?"
"why don't we just read his note?"
"Note-HAH! Warn someone before you turn on the lights"
"I apologize"
"lair"
*gasp* " no"
"what's wrong?"
"he's gone... He left the village"
"w-where could he have gone?"
"anywhere"
"what?"
"he used a jutsu that could have taken him anywhere"
"oh kami, it's all my fault"
" no we're all to blame"
Fifteen minutes earlier
'so your saying that if I use this kuchiose no jutsu that it will take me far away, to a summon realm where the summon creatures will best suit me?'
'THATS THE DUMBED DOWN VERSION OF IT, YES'
'I had to dumb it down, all that talk of wormholes and chakra creating a bond between my soul and blah blah blah... I'm smart but I'm damn near uneducated, so deal.'
'WHATEVER JUST USE THE JUTSU'
'alright , 'kuchiose no jutsu'!'
...
...
...
"it's really dark here"
'UNDERSTATEMENT KIT. EVEN WITH THOSE EYES OF YOURS WE CAN'T SEE ANYTHING'
"Human? What's a human doing here?"
"I'm not sure Kuro, what should we do with it?"
"I don't know, no human has ever entered Eien no dÅkutsu before Kage."
"maybe we should just inform Yami-sama and have him decide?"
"yes that seems best"
"I'll go, you watch the ningen"
"fly well Kage"
'umm...'
'DON'T WORRY. JUST ACT NORMALLY. THESE ARE THE SUMMONS THAT SUIT YOU BEST REMEMBER? JUST BE YOU'
"umm, human?"
"Naruto"
"what?"
"my name, it's Naruto"
"ah yes how silly of me, my name is Kuro, it's a pleasure, but I am most curious, how, and why are you here?"
" I was looking for a new home"
"?"
"if you don't mind I'd like to wait for your leader, it's not a story I'd like to repeat"
"very well, forgive my curiosity"
"there was no need to ask, but if I may ask, what are you?"
"ah, you came here without knowing? That was quite reckless,"
"yes but I felt I had no choice"
" I see, well, allow me to be the first to welcome you to the Eternal Cave, home of the bat tribe"
"it's an honor"
