Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I wish I did.

I was looking at the cut more. It looked like it had become infected. I should have cleaned it before I came, but I really didn't want to. I didn't care at that point. I guessed that the cut was deeper than I thought. The new kunai was calling to me, telling me that I was worthless, and that I wanted to feel it on my arm. I did cut my wrist again and it felt better than my old dull kunai. This one was sharper. I didn't really want to cut much, but I knew I would. I still felt lonely even though I had a whole bunch of people there to help me and care about me.

There was a knock on the bathroom door. I didn't really want to answer because there was blood running on the floor and on the sink. I was just glad that the door was locked. I tried to clean the blood from off the floor before I let anyone in. When there was no more blood on the floor or the sink I opened the door.

Shikamaru was standing in front of me. He had a concerned look on his face. "What's taking you so long?"

"I just really had to use the bathroom," I told him.

"It's taking you forever," he sighed and just walked back up the hall. I knew that all of them were waiting for me because they wanted to cut the cake. "I'll be out in a minute. I promise."

I knew that I was still bleeding. I was holding my wrist behind my back. I didn't want Shikamaru to see that I was bleeding. I knew he would be even more worried than he already was. I cleaned the blood off of my wrist and the new kunai.

Everyone screamed happy birthday to me when I came back into the room. I smiled and thanked them, but at the same time I felt like I needed to throw up.

"Naruto, are you okay?" Amaya asked in a worried tone. I wasn't sure that I was, but I couldn't tell the mother of my child that. She would be even more worried about me than she was before. I could tell she actually cared by her actions.

"I'm fine, why?" I asked her.

"You look sick," she responded trying to keep the worry out of her voice, she was failing at it. It wasn't surprising that no one noticed the cut that was on my shoulder. I guess it was getting infected worse than before. I don't really know I'm not exactly a doctor. If I was it wouldn't be in Konoha. All of the party guests were staring at me weird. I didn't like it. I was about ready to flip them off, but decided that was not a good idea.

"What happened to your shoulder," Kakashi asked before I could even answer Amaya. He was the only one that truly noticed it. Everyone then looked at my shoulder and the looks on their face looked as if it was getting worse.

"While I was walking here I had a kunai thrown at me. Not really a big deal. It hit my shoulder, but I guess it went deeper than I thought it would, but oh well," I said.

"Why was it thrown?" Sakura asked confused, but I guess she didn't understand that I had the nine tails sealed inside of me. I sighed not really knowing what to say. I wasn't in the mood to talk about it. It's not it was something I liked to talk about for many reasons.

"When Naruto was born the nine tails was place inside of him. Everyone in the village hates him for that reason. Another reason is that they believe the nine tails will take over his body. The nine tails is sealed although it hasn't broken once or twice," Kakashi responded knowing that I wasn't going to say anything.

"Is that true?" Gaara asked. I nodded, but he nodded back at me in understanding. He knew how I felt. He's gone through the same thing...the loneliness, the pain, and the hate that I had. I was frowning now. The dark thoughts were not going to go away.

I put something over my shoulder so I didn't think about it. I wanted the rest of the party to run smoothly since the party was for me. We were all eating the cake that Sakura made. It was actually pretty good. I also opened the rest of my presents. The last one was from Hinata. She bought me a new jumpsuit. It was a nice touch to my old one.

"Thank you, Hinata, I needed a new jump suit," I told her. She started to blush and look around nervously. I kind of had to laugh at her reaction. I smiled at her and her face turned redder than it was before. I found it kind of cute that she was that shy around me.

I felt even sicker than before after a couple of minutes. I knew that I needed to get checked out by the doctor. I wanted to know what was going on with me, but I figured that it was from the cut. The pain was getting worse, but I wasn't going to complain because I didn't want to look a baby.

All of the party guests looked like they had something on their minds. I mean maybe it was because of the information that they learned about me. That was going to be shocking to a lot of them. I just hope that they would understand that I didn't want them to be afraid of me.

"Naruto, why couldn't you just tell us before all of this? I mean we would have tried to support you in any way that we could. It might have made it easier for us to understand you," Sakura said trying to keep the conversation.

"Why would I want my life to change? I would figure every one of you would hate me like the villagers. I couldn't lose any of the people that at least liked me," I told her. It would have hurt to lose them all, but how could they judge me about something that I had no control over?

"Naruto, we wouldn't stop liking you if you had told us in the beginning. You have been there for us. Why would we turn on you now when you need us?" Sasuke did have a point. I just felt worse than before. I heard someone say my name before I passed out cold onto the ground.

When I came too I noticed that I was in a room with all white walls. I guessed I was in the hospital since I lost consciousness.

"I see you're awake," I heard a gruff voice come from the other side of them room. I just nodded to show him that I was. He smiled a light smile and walked over to me. He shook my hand for a second. "My name is Dr. Dave. I was the one that took care of you last night."

"What happened to me?" I asked. I did give him a look that read what-kind-of-name-was-that. He somewhat glared back at me, but I laughed a little bit at his reaction. That reaction made me feel better about my circumstances.

"Well you passed out from the wound that had become infected. We have given you some medicine for the infection so that it doesn't get worse. The wound wasn't cleaned properly. How long did you have the wound for," he asked me.

"I had it for about two hours, but I didn't want to ask because I didn't want all of my friends to know I was in pain. They would have questioned what happened, but now they know so I guess it didn't make a difference."

"Since it wasn't cleaned well it got worse, but I'm glad that you were brought here before that happened." He looked at me with a smile. "Also I noticed that you had a lot of mini cuts running up your arms."

"I will remember to clean it better next time and not hide the fact that I'm in pain. I got those cuts in a battle. I am very accident prone," I told him lying through my teeth. I don't think he believed me, but he did tell me to be careful.

"You have to stay here for a couple of days to make sure it doesn't get worse. You do have some visitors here." I knew that it was Sakura and Sasuke. They must have been worried because I passed out all of a sudden. If I were in the same position I would have been worried.

He led them into the room and I smiled wide. "How are you feeling?"

"A lot better than before because the doctor has taken good care of me. I do have to take some medication for the pain though. It will help more because it doesn't help the pain," I responded. I was feeling better. They both smiled wide.

"Why did you pass out though?" Sasuke asked.

"I was getting a bad infection. I guess it was just affecting me. Did anyone else come to visit me while I was knocked out?" I hoped that someone did.

"Yes, Hinata did, she was really worried about you. Amaya came to visit as well, but she had to get back to the village because something happened. Everything is fine now though. She has a message for you." Sasuke handed me a message. It just said she was sorry, but something important came up. I understood. Maybe her village was getting attacked, but I hoped that wasn't the case.

"I'm getting tired. I will see you in the morning." They said they would come and I started to think. This was the worst birthday I ever had. I don't want to repeat this.
