Naruto's POV
As soon as we got home, I asked Hinata to take care of her. I don't know if she had any fractured or broken ribs. Who had done this to her,though? I saw that she ran to two girls. I'm guessing those were her friends. She always had somebody to play with at the park, but I seen her play with the two girls the most. I don't think they did it. They seem to sweet. Unless they figured out shhe has the Kyuubi in her. But it didn't seem like a punch can make that wound. Maybe something hard like. Metal,wood.
I sighed. I didn't see anyone go near her. Then again, I wasn't watching her.
I heard Hinata come out of her room. I immediately asked her questions.
"How is she? Is she okay? Do you know what...," she laughed.
"She's fine, Naruto. A fractured rib. Nothing more."
"Itw my fault. I should've been watching her. I wouldn't blame her if she never forgive me for not helping her."
"Maybe if you go talk to her. And your forgetting she's only four."
"Alright."
I knocked on her door.
"Come in."
It was barely a whisper.
Why couldn't she talk correctly. Did she get hit that bad.
I was hesitate, but I walked in.
She was laying down on her bed, until she saw me.
"Otou-san!," she yelled.
She sat up quickly. I gently pushed her back down.
"Don't move so much,Atsuko," I told her.
"I'm happy to see you," she replied.
"Why?"
"Because you helped me, Tou-san. And your my Otou-san."
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you before this happened."
"Its okay. I'm just happy you came."
"I was still late."
"I don't care about that, Tou-san. I could still be there."
"Do you forgive me?"
She climbed out from under the covers and hugged me, which made me fall on my back on her bed.
She started to sake uncontrolably.
"Oh. I didn't mean to make you cry."
I put her back down, realizing its her bedtime.
"Alright, time to go to bed, Suko.
"Okay, Otou-san!"
I kissed her forehead, I closed her room and closed the door, heading for my room to go to bed.
Atsuko's POV
Man, Tou-san is a big baka! Why wouldn't I forgive him? He's the best Tou-san in the whole world. He said he couldn't save me. It wasn't his fault. Unless he ment something else. If that's the case, what did he mean?
I clutched my chest.
Why did my friends call me a demon? That me hurt a lot. One day we're racing each other, and the next I'm being tripled team. I didn't do anything. But if I did, what did I do. Why do my friends hate me now? For crying out loud, they come over my house all the time! The Hokage's house! Kaa-san let them come over a lot. Sometimes we play ninja and Kaa-san will alyways watch. Sometimes even Nii-san will play with us, and Tou-san watches us because he doesn't want Nii-san to hurt us. Its funny,though, I think Koaru and Mikoto have a crush on Nii-san. Everytime he charges after them, they blush. Ew!
I sighed.
I miss those times.
I put my cover in my mouth, so I can muffle my cry. Tears find their way down my cheek. I cried. I cried really hard.
Why do my friends hate me?
I curled up and cried myself to sleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night, hearing shuffling in my room. I didn't open my eyes, but asked;
"Kaa-san?"
No answer.
I felt my self being dragged out my bed and their stomach was hard like stone. They wrapped a tight arm around my stomach. I finally opened my eyes, to see a stranger in front of me. Was I being kidnapped?
"Tou-san! Kaa-san!," I screamed.
Their door across from mine was closed. I began to wriggle in the person's grasp.
"Kaa-," I was quickly stopped by me being knocked out.
WAKING UP...
I woke up on stone cold floor. I rubbed my eyes. I realized I was in a cell. Where am I?
"Kaa-san? Tou-san," I said.
No answer. I heard snickering behind me. I jumped slightly and turned around. There was a guy with black long hair and red eyes. Is that the Sharingan?
"Whe-Where am I," I asked scared.
"Not home," the man said.
"I want to go home!," I screamed.
"Not now. Maybe not ever," he said.
"What are you talking about?!," I asked.
He disappeared. I turned around and he was outside the cell.
"What are you talking about?!," I asked again.
"More of us went to your house to kill the rest of your family," he simplied said.
"What," I asked disbelieving. "Why? What would you do that?! They did nothing wrong!
"We didn't care about them. We cared about you. You have high amounts of chakra."
"Yeah, I know."
I smirked.
"I'm not worried. Tou-san will beat the meany guys up."
"I don't think so. Just because he's the Hokage doesn't mean he's strong. It could simply mean that your village is weak."
"Shut up! I won't let you!
"You're behind bars. Touch the bar."
I touched it slightly and it sent a shock through my body.
"Ah!"
"How can you get out?"
"I will I'll find away!"
"Lets see how you look when we kill your Otou-san's family and friends one by one."
"What?"
He walked away for a few minutes and then returned with Okaa-san.
"Kaa-san?!," I yelled.
I touched the bar again, longer this time,sending a huge shock wave through my small and fragile body.
"Ahh!"
"Atsuko," Kaa-san said sad.
I hunched over in pain.
"There's...one thing...you idiots...forgot...to do."
"And what is that," the man asked.
"You forgot to drain my chakra!"
"Hmm?"
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
I made a clone. She molded my chakra into the Rasengan. I smashed it throug the bars. I walked out of the cell. I bent my knees and put my hands on the ground. My eyes are red and now actually have pupils. My hair is out of control. My finger nails grow into claws. My whisker marks turn black and growed wider. My teeth turn into fangs. Red chakra surrounded my body making, claws, ears, and one tail.
"Leave Kaa-san alone!," I roared.
Wait, I roared?
End of chapter.
Okay, I know that Akatsuki is suppose to be dead by now. But not in this story. They're are leaving the jinjuriki's alone(for now) and trying to go after Atsuko. Please Review.
