'...' Kyuubi in Naruto's head

"..." Kyuubi speaking


Naruto was happy when Sakura suggested they could go take a walk outside. He quickly nodded and made his way to the door. Deidara waved at Naruto who looked a little grumpy; when everyone was outside he shut the door. He quietly followed the group, all of them joking and pushing each other playfully.

They made their way towards the center of the village and sat down by a tree. Ino and Tenten were whispering while the others were shouting and Naruto was sure he was going to get a headache before the nights end.

"I know let's play truth or dare!" Sakura jumped up and everyone nodded as Naruto watched in disgust.

"Oh I want to start!" Chouji shouted.

Sakura shook her head and told him that because it was her idea she was allowed to start. Everyone calmed down and waited until Sakura asked Naruto, who answered truth.

"Uhm, let me think… What is your deepest, darkest secret?" Some girls oohed as Naruto sighed. He was never going to tell them who he really was. Suddenly it hit him.

"Ok my deepest, darkest secret eh? I'm sorry girls" Naruto smirked and hoped that they would finally get off his back. "But I'm gay." Several groans were heard and some boys started looking uncomfortable.

It was true and no one questioned him to his relief. The game went on for a few more turns. It was Sasuke's turn and Tenten dared him to kiss Naruto, on his lips.

This time groans of disgust were heard from the boys and the girls glared at Tenten. Sasuke looked next to him and studied Naruto, he knew the boy would enjoy it he had seen and felt that before. He leaned forward and quickly pecked his lips. Tenten started clapping and giggled again when Sasuke blushed.

Hinata looked up at the sky and jumped up. "Uh guys, it's getting late we should be getting back." Some nodded and everyone stood up and made their way back. But along the way they were stopped by a group of men.

"Lookie, lookie what I found." One of the men circled around Naruto and studied head to toe.

He walked back to his friends and whispered something in their ears. They all started laughing and Hinata tugged Naruto's shirt asking if they could go further. He nodded and started to walk away when a wine bottle was thrown at his head. It shattered and Sakura gasped and ducked. Naruto quickly turned around and snarled at the laughing men.

"That's right that's where we know you from!" One of the men pointed at him and nudged his neighbor who nodded.

"Of course! You're that demon kid right?!" Naruto felt his insides begin to boil. The others behind him started whispering and he could hear some say that it couldn't be true.

One of the men stepped forward. He was tall and had big muscles and easily looked down at the children.

"I remember that we chased you into the Uchiha compound the night the clan was massacred!" He looked around at his smirking friends and then back at Naruto who was looking angrier every second. "We thought Itachi had killed you along with the rest."

That was it, Naruto shouted and a force was pushed forward and the men flew backwards banging into trash cans and other things.

"Shut up you asses! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM!" Naruto ran away and the others watched in confusion, why he reacted like that. Without anyone noticing Sasuke ran after Naruto who had stopped at an old building.

He walked up to the blond and placed his hand on one of his shoulders. Naruto quickly turned around and grabbed Sasuke's wrist. A single tear ran over his cheek as he slowly released his grip on Sasuke's wrist.

"So that's who you are, why did you leave?" Naruto looked up and opened his mouth to say something but stopped.

His sadness immediately disappeared as he grabbed Sasuke's collar and growled. He looked around and spotted a well. Naruto dragged Sasuke towards it and threw him in it, lucky for him the well was almost filled up to the top. Sasuke sputtered as he reached the surface again, only to see Naruto run away at the sight of the others running towards the well.

"Sasuke what happened? Why did Kenji freak out, he can't be him right?" Sakura helped Sasuke out of the well and he coughed, he knew he couldn't tell them.

"I don't think so; if he was he wouldn't have come back right?" Sakura slowly nodded and she and the others helped him get home and gave him dry clothes.


The next morning when Naruto woke up he had no memories whatsoever of the night before. He slowly made his way towards the old oak as uninterested as always and was surprised he was the first to arrive. After waiting about 10 minutes he finally saw Kakashi come towards the tree.

"Kakashi-sensei! Where are Sakura and Sasuke?"

"Sakura's at Sasuke's house, he got very sick last night and she's treating him." Naruto stared at his sensei and said goodbye as he made his way to Sasuke's house. When he arrived he didn't waste time and ran upstairs and bumped into Hinata. She smiled at him and helped him up. He asked how Sasuke was and she showed him to his room.

As he walked in Sakura looked up and frowned at him. He wondered what he had done to make her so angry, but couldn't remember doing anything to do so.

"I'll leave you two alone; seeing it's because of you he's sick!" Sakura walked off and Naruto sat next to Sasuke's bed and watched him sleep. He had never realized how peaceful he could look, even beautiful.

After watching Sasuke for a while he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Naruto. He coughed and glared at Naruto.

'Damn kit, you really got him sick didn't you?' Naruto looked up and started thinking, what were Sakura and Kyuubi talking about, was it his fault Sasuke had gotten so sick. "

I don't know what you mean fox!" Naruto snarled as he answered the demon. The only answer he got was soft chuckling.

Naruto looked back at Sasuke who had fallen back to sleep, the blond grabbed a wet cloth and placed it on Sasuke's forehead. He never thought he would ever feel so guilty and he didn't even remember what he did. It wasn't until after dark that he left.

Naruto kept visiting Sasuke for the rest of the week and after 5 days he recovered. Naruto made his way to Sasuke's house with a single flower in his hand he had picked from a garden. He opened the door and ran upstairs towards Sasuke's room.

"Hey pretty boy I got you a little flower and I-" Naruto stopped in his tracks and was staring at all the flowers in the room.

Sasuke came out of his closet and smiled slightly at the sight of the blond. They had become good companions during his illness and Sasuke started to trust Naruto even more.

"Impressive how many people 'care' for me huh?" Sasuke smirked as he walked over to Naruto, who was still standing in the doorway. The raven plucked the flower out of his hands and made his way downstairs.

Shocked Naruto turned around and followed him, when he reached the kitchen he saw that Sasuke had placed the flower in a tiny vase with a ribbon around it.

"I only use that for special occasions. And by the way we have to meet Kakashi and the others today at the training field." Sasuke looked over his shoulder and almost swore he saw Naruto blush.

They cleaned up a bit and brought some of the flowers of to Konoha hospital. It surprised Naruto how many small children were there, but was happy he made them glad with the flowers. One particular kid amused him. A small boy named Konohamaru actually looked up at him into his eyes and Naruto saw something in the boy he hadn't seen in other people.

"You know you have dirt on your cheeks right?" The little boy rubbed over Naruto's cheeks and started rubbing it away. Naruto yelped and fell backwards as Sasuke and Konohamaru laughed at him. For once in his lifetime, instead of running away or beginning a fight he laughed along with them and soon after said goodbye to the small boy.

The two boys then went back to Sasuke's house before the left for the training field. Sasuke wanted to open the front door when he was stopped by Naruto who placed a hand on his shoulder.

He turned around to face him and saw him smiling and even blushing.

"Thank you for today, I had a great day." Naruto leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on Sasuke's forehead and then opened the front door.

On their way to the training fields they met up with Sakura and Ino. Both immediately ran over to Sasuke and started fighting who was going to walk next to him because Naruto was already on one side. Naruto suggested they walk behind him and both girls glared at him but eventually agreed.

It didn't take long before they got there and Naruto saw some more friendly faces. Hinata, Chouji, Shikamaru and Neji greeted him as he heard Sakura groan under her breath.

"Kakashi-sensei is always late!" Sasuke only shrugged and they all started talking.

"Why are we here Sasuke?" Naruto leaned over and whispered in his ear. The reply he got was that he had to be patient.

'Haha, Kit was silenced by someone other than Itachi, never thought I'd see that!' Naruto growled and told Kyuubi to be quiet and stop calling him that, but the demon kept saying it over and over again and Naruto was getting angrier by the second.

"Just shut up!" Everyone around him stopped talking and stared at him; he nervously chuckled and said he had a blistering headache.

Luckily Kyuubi had stopped and Kakashi arrived a few minutes later. Everyone ran over to him and Sakura and Ino pushed Naruto toward him until he was standing in front of the Sensei.

"We have gathered here today to congratulate a fellow ninja and a good friend." Many sighs were heard from the others and Kakashi laughed.

"Just kidding! Naruto we all, want you to become a true Hidden Leaf Ninja." Kakashi took a forehead protector out of one of his pockets and handed it to Naruto, who stared at it in awe. "I... Thank you"

He smiled and Sasuke took the protector and tied it. Naruto turned around, his new forehead protector gleaming in the sunlight while everyone cheered. Suddenly an anbu appeared and whispered something in Kakashi's ear.

He nodded as the anbu left again and explained to Naruto that they were to go to the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade. Naruto nodded and Sasuke said he was going with him, nodding again they followed Kakashi to the Hokage. Naruto looked at the familiar building towering above him as they walked into it.

When they came into the office they were greeted by the Hokage. She studied Naruto as he came into the room and sighed when she saw Sasuke had come with him and Kakashi.

"So, what made you come back?" She looked at Naruto and Sasuke and Kakashi looked at each other.

"But Tsunade-sama, Kenji has only been here for a while." Sasuke was confused, not remembering what had happened a few nights before.

Tsunade laughed and glared at Naruto. "Kenji is it now, no... So Naruto host of the Nine-Tailed Fox, where have you been all these years?"

Naruto glared at the Hokage and released his henge revealing his whisker marks. He growled before he ran out of the building. Sasuke called after him, but Naruto didn't look back. Sasuke started running after him and stopped in an alley, where Naruto was surrounded by men in black and red robes.

He recognized one of them as the brother of Naruto and ran towards them.

"Naruto!" Some of the men turned around and one started laughing. Sasuke stopped when another turned around, his brother Itachi.

"Itachi! Let Naruto go!" The men all started laughing and Sasuke saw Naruto frown in the middle of their circle.

His brother stepped forward and smirked.

"Why would we give him back? He belongs with us." Sasuke shook his head and leaped forward to attack Itachi, but stopped when Naruto appeared in front of him. Jumping back Sasuke stared at him seeing he had the same robe as the others.

"Sasuke, please go home."

The other Akatsuki laughed again and one stepped forward, one with blue skin and smirked.

"Hey Uchiha better listen to your boyfriend!" Sasuke gasped as Itachi lunged forward and grabbed his collar and lifted him. Trying to get loose, Sasuke struggled and tried to kick his brother when a single voice stopped his movements.

"Itachi, let him go."

Naruto growled and Sasuke was shocked when he did put him down and coughed, gasping for breath. He couldn't remember Itachi ever listening to someone like that.

"Whatever, I don't want to have only one brother left." Sasuke slowly stood up and stared at Naruto, who was looking down.

"What's he talking about?" Naruto turned away and shook his head again. Sasuke couldn't understand it; never in his wildest dreams he thought Naruto was part of the Akatsuki.

"But you became one of us today! Y-You can't be one of them!"

Almost at the verge of tears Sasuke started losing it, everything was so confusing and he didn't know what to do about it. Naruto's hand moved up to the headband and untied it. As he stared at it he heard Sasuke run away and Kisame started chuckling.

'Kinda disappointing seeing him run away, isn't Naruto?' Naruto sighed as the fox started talking to him again. "Yes it is, but this is how it's supposed to be…"


Sasuke ran away from the alley, still not believing what he had seen and heard. As he ran through the streets he noticed he was being followed. Suddenly someone jumped in front of him and he fell down, looking up he gulped as he stared into the eyes of one of the bandits who had attack Naruto before.

"So he cares for you? Now we'll finally have revenge." The bandit smirked as he lifted Sasuke up from the ground and started chuckling as more bandits appeared.

Following Itachi and the rest of the Akatsuki, Naruto looked over Konoha one last time. Then he heard a loud scream and immediately ran back towards the village when he realized it was Sasuke, Itachi not far behind him trying to stop him. Naruto snarled when he saw the bandit holding Sasuke captive.

"I knew you'd come, you've done a good job little boy" He smirked and licked Sasuke's cheek causing Naruto to grow even angrier.

"Let him go! He has nothing to do with this!" He demanded as the rest of the Akatsuki arrived, and Kakashi a few seconds later.

He nodded and turned to look back at the bandit, who was still chuckling as Sasuke was still struggling to get loose. The two were staring each other down, and Naruto couldn't help but want to throw a kunai like he had done before. But it was too risky, there was a great chance the bandit would use Sasuke as shield.

"You have a minute to decide what you want, your life or his." Thoughts were raging through Naruto's mind; there had to be a way he could get Sasuke and himself to safety.

"Tick, tock... Looks like your time is up!" Before Naruto could react the bandit grabbed a kunai and traced it along Sasuke's arm leaving a bloody trail behind it.

"Leave him alone!" His anger grew every second and he cracked when the bandit hit Sasuke with the back of the kunai causing him to faint. He brought the kunai close to Sasuke's skin again but stopped when he heard a loud growl coming from Naruto.

"Don't you dare touch him!" An orange aura shaped like a fox surrounded him and the bandit stared at him as his eyes turned blood shot red and his canine teeth grew into fangs.

Everyone looked around when a loud voice boomed through the sky.

"Haha! It's finally time for some action!" Itachi twitched it wasn't the first time this had happened. He shouted at Kakashi telling him to get Sasuke out of the way and Kisame to try to get Naruto out of his demon mode before he reached the fourth tail. He turned back to Kakashi asking him if he could try to wake Sasuke up.

The jounin nodded and turned back to Sasuke. Trying furiously to wake him up before Naruto's form gained the fourth tail. It seemed that the more bandits Naruto defeated the more appeared and he was getting more and more frustrated. By the time he had reached the third tail Kakashi started panicking and finally Sasuke slowly opened his eyes again, but by the time they were fully open it was already too late, Naruto had already gained the fourth tail and a loud scream was heard and everyone flinched and covered their ears at the sound.

"It's time to rumble!" A loud booming voice exclaimed, it was Naruto's voice combined with another and the villagers started running out of their houses and panicking at the sight of a fox. His body was covered with a dark orange almost red glow. Many bandits ran from its sight and even the one who had threatened to kill Sasuke fled. While Kyuubi was chasing after the bandits through Konoha Sasuke finally regained enough strength to stand up and before Kakashi could stop him he went running of towards Naruto.

"Sasuke, get back here!"

He kept running ignoring his sensei's cries and also the pain he was feeling in his arm. It didn't take long before he had tracked the demon down, who was holding the leader bandit in the air. Just as it was getting ready to strike him, he turned at the sight of Sasuke and dropped the bandit. Walking in circles around Sasuke his tail flicking back and forth he started talking.

"So you are the one my holder fancies, not bad. I've only seen you mentally, but I can see what he likes him you."He laughed as he made his way back to the bandit.

"You shouldn't have threatened him, now you've made us very, very mad."He swung at the bandit but didn't have enough time to stop when Sasuke jumped in front of him and took the blow. Almost immediately the demon ran towards him. Sasuke looked up and into the eyes of the fox. Surprisingly one was becoming cerulean blue and Sasuke smiled at him.

"I know you're in there Naruto, please come back. I miss you."

The fox staggered from side to side and fell down to the ground. By the time Sasuke crawled over to him Naruto had changed back into his original self and Sasuke could see black figures run towards them. He felt that he was being picked up and watched as someone also picked up Naruto.
