Naruto felt an odd tingling in his stomach. The same kind of feeling he got when he was close to Koretto. It wasn't like the kind of nervous butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling, it was more of a slight surge of power, but as Koretto moved away, it would dim. That was one of the reasons he woke up suddenly. The other was the uncomfortable presence he felt at his bedside. He quickly opened his eyes and his heart nearly skipped a beat as Koretto's icy-blue gaze dug into the back of his skull.
"Stop doing that!"
"Doing what?"
"Looking at me,"
Koretto let out a giggle as she walked out of the room. Naruto had almost forgotten he had a new roommate, let alone a new sister. Naruto had severely questioned Tsunade when he first found out, completely taken aback by the words Tsunade had uttered. But it was true, he had seen the documents, her name was Uzumaki. He was still a little skeptical, because Tsunade couldn't produce a birth certificate because Koretto burned her house down with the documents inside. Naruto frowned. Tsunade was, however, able to produce Koretto's criminal record, and that showed that her name was Uzumaki Koretto, and she was born and raised in Konoha.
Naruto slipped on his pants and jacket, and headed to the kitchen. The overwhelming smell of eggs and bacon traveled their way up Naruto nostrils. He sat down at the table, inhaling the smell. Koretto dropped a plate of eggs, bacon toast and oranges under his nose. "This for me?" he asked, pointing to the plate. "Obviously," responded Koretto, her back turned, washing dishes. Naruto found the time to look up as he scarffed down his breakfast. Wow. This place actually looks clean for once. The empty ramen packages were gone, the dishes were washed, the counters clean. Whoa. She even cleaned the bathroom... I didn't know I had hard wood floors! Naruto looked around the clean apartment with excited, finally grateful for the girl's presence. "Fhanx fo hmlening hup," Naruto said, his faced packed with food. "You're welcome," Koretto replied happily.
Naruto finished the last bite of his food and burped, satisfied. "That was good," Koretto smiled at the remark, tracing the top of a glass of water with her finger. She had devoured her breakfast- and Naruto noticed she looked disgusted while doing it-long before him. "Well, time to go. There's gotta be a new mission for me," Naruto got up and zipped his jacket, heading for the door. "Naruto, Tsunade gave you the day off," Koretto said, unmoving. "Really?" he asked, a little disappointed. "Yeah," he heard the crack in Koretto's voice and looked over. He couldn't see her face, but he did see a small tear drop into her glass. "Koretto…?" he asked uncomfortably. He sat across from her.
"Naru-to," she sobbed. "I'm sorry; I'm s-sorry,"
"For…what?"
"F-for leaving…I-I promised M-mom. I promised M-mom I would t-take care of you, but please, try to under-stand. I-I couldn't s-stay. I had to leave. I-I ab-abandoned my own brother when he needed m-me. I didn't think of M-Mom and Dad. I was so selfish back then. And they gave m-me such a g-great life; a ch-chance to start over. But I knew. I knew no matter how hard I t-tried, the villagers would always hate me. And I knew…even th-though Dad said you'd be a h-hero, I knew they w-would hate you, too. And I left. I left you a-alone to deal with the p-pain I also experienced. W-Without Mom and Dad, I didn't think they would b-be so o-open to my stay. I-I'm so s-sorry. I know how it was for you…"
She had to stop she was crying so hard. Naruto felt an odd sensation of overwhelming anger rise in his belly. It was almost as if the Kyuubi took the minor anger he had toward Koretto and multiplied it by 100. He could feel a slight change in his chakra, and his appearance. It was like the starting stage when he used the Kyuubi's power. Panic started to rise with the anger and pain. Wh-what's going on?
Koretto had stopped crying and was facing away from Naruto. "Naruto-what. Are. You. Doing?"
He heard the strain in her voice she turned around slowly, as if she was trying to fight the movement. Naruto's panic increased. His anger was boiling over.
He watched as Koretto continued to turn. Her gaze pierced his. Her blood red gaze. Naruto's head began to spin. All he could imagine was the forest, the dress, and the smile, accompanied with the eyes. He knew it was coming. And when it finally did, his anger exploded. That twisted, death smile, the one from his dream found itself under Koretto's nose. He let out a snarl and ripped the table out of his way. Koretto approached him menacingly, slowly at first and then lunged at him, knocking him through the door, all the way to the far wall of his room, holding his throat, digging her nails into his skin. The blood from his neck began to slide down onto Koretto's hand, leaving tiny streams of red liquid spiraling down her hand. Naruto tried to fight back, but he couldn't move. Even though her eyes were dark-red, they still had that same hypnotic charm as her icy-blue eyes. Naruto gasped for breath, but her nails dug steadily into his neck. Suddenly, her hand dropped, and she rolled onto the floor, he could tell Koretto was trying to fight herself out of this mess. She fought, and started clenching her fists and began putting cracks into the floorboards. She screamed with rage, and Naruto's panic overtook him, the Kyuubi's power began rapidly withdrawing. She smashed the floor with her fists, ripped right through the sweatshirt she was wearing, rolled over and started thrashing violently. After several minutes of seemingly endless fight, Koretto stopped, lying on her back, barely moving.
Naruto walked cautiously over to her and waited several more minutes. He brought his hand up to his throat, where the puncture marks were already healing. They seemed barely noticeable under his touch; the only proof of the attack was the dried blood that was splattered across the wall and his jacket, and of course, Koretto's fingers. He looked down at her; the blood on her fingers was now on her face and the floor. She groaned and pushed herself on her knees, holding herself up with her hands.
"I'm…I'm sorry, N-Naruto. I-should-I should have known better,"
And with that, Koretto began vomiting her breakfast onto his bedroom floor.
How was that? BTW, I'm changing the rating to "M" just for safety. (Thinking about the future plot of the story *wink*) Yeah, blood and violence XD
