Summary: 'Empty. That's what I feel most of the time. Like there's no emotion inside of me. Some people call it depressed. I call it normal.' SasuNaru. Naruto becomes depressed with Kyuubi whispering false things in his mind. He thinks he's fooled everyone, but there's a certain someone who won't stop until he's found out what has happened to the blonde.
A/N: Hey guys! Thanks so much for all the reviews that you've given me! I love them, they make my day. Anyways, here's the next part of Empty in Naruto's point of view! Enjoy. I don't own Naruto.
I watched his reaction as my words sank in. Concern was the main emotion I got from him. But there was something underneath that. Something I couldn't quite grasp. He spoke my name so softly, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Then he took a few closer to me, so I took an equal amount back. Another silence passed between us as we stared at each other, emotionless eyes battling ones filled with feelings. Then Sasuke finally spoke up. "That expression doesn't suit you, Naruto." My brows furrowed in confusion as I tried to figure out what had brought that statement forth. "Today, when you really smiled, you're eyes lit up. You just looked so….beautiful. But when you look like that," he paused slightly to motion towards me, "it breaks my heart." He whispered. My mind was still stuck on one specific word, however. Beautiful. Sasuke Uchiha called me beautiful. He stepped closer once more.
"Lies, kit! Don't listen to him. He's blowing sunshine up your ass." Kyuubi hissed in my mind. That snapped me back to focus. Taking an unconscious step backwards, Sasuke continued to progress on me. I bit my bottom lip as I thought. "Remember kit. He's the one that said that no one would care if you'd die." The demon growled. Kyuubi had a point. Sasuke did say that. So I did the only thing I could think of.
I ran.
I ran as fast as I could and as far as I could while still staying within the gates. I ran past Ichiraku's, up to the Hokage's Monument. Stopping on top of the Fourth's head, I caught my breath. Plopping down to watch the sunset while I tried to get my thoughts straight. Kyuubi was still talking to me, however, making it impossible to do so. So after a few minutes of sitting and staring into the village, I finally stood up. I started my slow walk back to my house.
Once I was back in my little apartment that I called home, I turned on my music and let it go as high as it was allowed. I pushed Sasuke's words, Kyuubi's voice, and my own thoughts out of my head as the metal pounded my brain. Finally! Some quiet in my own mind. Quickly making sure that all the windows and the door were locked before shutting all the curtains, I then went into the bathroom. Sasuke had been right. Absolutely no one would care if I just died. Hell! I'm sure the entire village wanted me to die! To get rid of the Kyuubi vessel. To get rid of the brat who always messed things up. To rid of the one that they still resented even after saving their pathetic village more than once.
My hands clenched into fists as I thought of that. I hated them. I hated them all. They acted like they treasured me after the incident with Pain, but truly they still despised me. I saw the looks many of them still gave me when they thought I wasn't paying attention. And, let's be honest, that happened often. Sakura had said that she loved me. She told me that she had gotten over Sasuke. But then he comes back and it's back to the older days, when we were just starting out as Team 7. All the attention on Sasuke while I got pushed out of the way.
In a burst of anger, I lashed out at the closest thing to me. The sink. The object which had happened to be helping me stay standing at the moment. It broke with little resistance and I went with it along with whatever else was on it. I heard a clank somewhere to my left and I looked over towards it. A single kunai lay there. Tempting me. Gently, ever so gently, I picked it up and ran my finger along the edge of it. I repeated the simple act many times while just staring at it. Only a moment more of debating, and then my mind was made up. No one would care anyways. Gingerly lifting the metal object to my wrist I made a faint line. I pushed down until a steady stream of crimson water flowed down onto the floor and myself. Using all of my willpower to grab the kunai with my steadily growing numb fingers, I lifted it to my other wrist. I applied the same pressure as I did to the other and a sad smile graced my lips. I could faintly hear the weapon hit the tiled floor as black dots filled my vision. A steady ringing started in my ears as I closed my eyes and let my head fall back, hitting the tub behind me. The last thing I would ever remember would be the feeling of my music pounding through my body, lulling me to sleep.
A/N: Dun dun dun! What's going to happen to Naruto? It all depends on your reviews! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. It was fun writing, I'm not gonna lie. I liked writing this last scene the most. Maybe I'm just twisted. Who knows. Anyways, sorry it took so long (again) to upload but I'm getting the house to myself more often so maybe I'll post more chapters more often! But don't get you're hopes up. BeautifulLotus, I AM working on that story I promised you. I'm just having so much trouble figuring out how I want it to start and end and all that stuff. It will be up though! Hopefully soon! Anyways, please review! I love reviews! Enjoy your day guys!
