Guy looked everywhere. He looked in their old apartment, he went to the Uchiha compound. He went to the Hokage's tower, scaring the old man and even went to the market. He was lost in thought. Where could Naruto be? Then it hit him. The last time Naruto ran off, he went to a place no one would see him. Guy bounded for the place he believed Naruto to be. The Hokage Cliff.

He made it to the Fourth's head and spotted the blonde tuft. He let out a sigh of relief and took a step forward. Then he stopped. He looked at the trembling figure in front of him, then to Naruto. "Help me! Get me away from this foul demon!" Guy scowled at the person, then to Naruto. He couldn't believe Naruto would- No. He didn't. Naruto didn't do this. However, the excessive amount of blood covering and surrounding the boy said another story.

Guy took another step and noticed the weapon of choice. Naruto released it from his grip and it clanked onto the floor. "How did Naruto get an Anbu weapon?" There was no time for that though. Naruto began to walk forward and Guy snapped out of his haze. He pulled the boy into a hug and backed away from the cliff. "Let him do it! That demon shouldn't be here!" Guy snapped. He knows he shouldn't have. He has a duty to protect these people but, right now, he couldn't hold it in. Even if the man in question was trying to crawl over to salvage his discarded arms. "Who are you to call this boy a demon?! Everything that happened to you tonight was your own fault! I will NOT let my son kill himself because of some lowly scum like you!" The man stopped moving and laid with his mouth agape. He was having trouble processing Guy's words. Guy could care less, he had a small boy and his brother to care for. He would have to get him home fast.

He moved Naruto to look at him and he froze. Naruto's eyes were clouded. He looked possessed. Then it happened. The cold blue of Naruto's eyes bled into a terrifying red. He smirked as Guy took a step back and proceeded to follow him. "Tou-Chan~. Let's play, okay?" Guy looked in horror as Naruto's shell temporarily broke into a menacing creature. No, not creature. It was still Naruto!

Guy clenched his fists and nodded, earning a chuckle from the small vessel. "Good. I say we play my version of tag. The rules are simple. If I catch you before morning, you die." Guy's eyes widened. "What the hell is happening?!" Naruto took a step forward. "It's time to start Tou-Chan~." Guy broke out of his funk and began to run. He must lead Naruto away.

As he expected, Naruto continued following him out of the village. His eyes never changing back. Guy grew fearful as Naruto began to draw closer. "Tou-Chan~! This is getting boring! I'm going to turn back~!" No! He couldn't! Guy span on his heel and dashed past Naruto's face. However, he had fallen for the trap. "Predictable." As Guy launched past Naruto, Naruto threw his arm out and grabbed Guy's leg. He pulled with great force and slammed Guy into the ground, knocking the wind out of him. Then he kicked him in the side, effectively breaking a few ribs and launching Guy into a nearby tree.

Guy coughed up some blood and weakly raised his arm to wipe the rest away. Naruto slowly edged closer while wearing a menacing grin. "Poor Tou-Chan~. Looks like I caught you~." His grin widened as he pulled out a fresh kunai from his back pouch. "Time to die~. Thanks for the house. HAHAHAHAHA" Guy could only watch as his beloved child made his way over to kill him. If he was suicidal before, he would definitely be after this. He watched as Naruto lifted the kunai as he was a mere two feet away. "I'm sorry Sasuke. You're about to lose another family."

Suddenly, Naruto dropped the kunai in favour in grabbing his head with both hands. "AH! What, what are you doing?!" Guy watched as Naruto tried to shake something off, but what? "Leave… Tou-Chan… ALONE!" With another ear wrenching scream, Naruto threw his head back in pain. An entire minute passed with the battle raging on in Naruto's mind. Then, it faded. Naruto lowered his hands before lowering his head. He smiled through tear filled blue eyes before collapsing on the ground. Guy quickly scurried across the ground to Naruto's side and looked on as the boy seemed to fall into a peaceful slumber. His arms were almost fully healed too. Which was good.

Guy leaned back with a relieved sigh. Naruto would be fine, for now. That must have been the nine tails taking over. Why would Naruto let him though? Did he promise him something? There was no way of knowing without asking. And right now, that wasn't an option. Guy sighed yet again before looking to the night sky. A slight pink tint coloured the clouds as the sun began its day cycle. A cooling breeze rolled over his bangs and he smiled at the relaxing touch.

Leaves rustled and twigs snapped as a familiar figure walked closer. Guy looked at the nearby bush that the man emerged from. "Asuma? Why are you here?" Asuma looked down in guilt and sadness. Guy could tell what was happening immediately. He picked Naruto up and hugged him close as he rose to his feet. "Guy. You're too injured, you're only delaying the inevitable this way." Guy shook his head. "I won't let you have him!" Guy raised a weak arm in defence and Asuma sighed. He realised the three had grown close but, he never expected them to be this close. He took a step forward and Guy took a step back. "Guy, this is an Hokage's order. You have to let him go." Guy shook his head once more. "And leave both boys family-less again? No way!" He growled as he took yet another step.

After a few more steps, Guy tripped on an uprooted tree. He landed harshly and lost what little wind he had left in his lungs. Asuma sighed. He didn't like this. He didn't want to hurt the kid. Or Guy and Sasuke for that matter. But this was an order. He moved next to Guy and plucked Naruto from his arms. The boy stayed asleep the entire. "Look Guy. I am sorry but, an order is an order. If only there were some way you could help." Asuma began to walk away, letting Guy process his words.

Shortly after leaving Guy, Asuma heard a scream. He looked down at Naruto and felt a pain in his heart. He doesn't normally disagree with his father but, right now, he wanted to run away with Naruto and hide him from this horrible world. Guy laid on the ground, watching the clouds drift innocently by. Crying to himself. "I'm so sorry boys. I'm not good enough to be your father."
