• Chp. 2


    Thunder shook the inn, widows fluttered open and screams could be heard. I smiled and chuckled softly, my name is Naruto Uzumaki and I’m all alone. I closed my eyes and pressed my forehead gently against the window pane. I frowned when a hand lightly touched my shoulder “something wrong?” I scoffed “of course not Kyuubi, no, the fact that some random guy kissed my hand and tried to seduce me doesn’t bother me in the least.”

    Kyuubi smiled and pulled me onto his lap, “Fox calm down.” I frowned “oh, so now you want to act like a big brother, thanks for leaving me in the dining room Nii-san.” Kyuubi burst out into a fit of laughter “sorry, I was following someone, but I kept my eye on you and Uchiha.” I paused, “Uchiha? You know Sasuke?” it was Kyuubi’s turn to scoff. “Of course! Everyone knows Sasuke Uchiha, he’s very well liked, and he even has a huge fan base.”

    I suddenly had the urge to kill any girl who would dare get near my Sasuke. ‘Wait, my Sasuke?! What’s wrong with me…’ laughter echoed in my mind 'ah fox, don’t you understand? You’re in love!' ‘oh shut up Kyubi! That’s a lie, I don’t love Sasuke…’ The fox inside me threw back his head and laughed. 'Dumb child' he boomed 'you’re so naïve fox.'

    I frowned, Kyubi wasn’t helping, oh and Kyubi is the nine tailed fox demon that lives inside me. Only Kyuubi, I and a few others know about him. I stood and walked over to my bed “going to bed fox?” “Yeah, night Nii-san” Kyuubi chuckled and hugged me. “Night fox sleep well” I fell back onto my bed and closed my eyes again. ‘Is he gone?’ a soft familiar voice whispered.

    My eyes flew open and I gasped. ‘Are you ok dobe?’ ‘S-Sasuke? You’re a telepath?’ soft laugher filled my mind. ‘Of course, hey Naruto?’ ‘Yes?’ ‘Please, I need you, can I come in?’ my heart melted, he sounded so sad. I paused, what did he mean by that? Only one way to find out and I needed to comfort Sasuke, he sounded so alone. ‘Of course you can’ “thank you dobe” I jumped and looked to my window.

    There stood Sasuke, soaking wet, his jet black hair glistened in the moon light and his onyx eyes looked so flat and emotionless. I walked into the bathroom and came back with a towel; I held it out to him. “Here, you’re soaking wet, you’ll catch a cold.” Sasuke looked surprised, he smiled sheepishly “you don’t have to worry about me, I can’t get sick.” Despite his comment, I gently threw the towel onto his head and began drying his hair.

    The look on his face was priceless, I smiled and he blushed. After I was done I realized the window was still open. I pushed them closed and turned to Sasuke. To my surprise he was sitting on my bed staring at me. “w-what are you staring at me for teme?” Sasuke closed his eyes “Naruto, you’re doing something to me, and I think I like it.” I sighed and flopped down next to him.

    “Why are you telling me this?” I fidgeted and Sasuke frowned. “Are you ok dobe?” he took my hand and a look of concern shown on his face. I turned and laid my head down on his lap “I’m tired but I’m afraid to sleep.” Sasuke looked so sad; but at the same time his eyes were full of love. “Would you sleep if I stayed with you?” I smiled softly “you’re the reason I’m afraid to sleep.”

    Sasuke’s eyebrows shot up in surprise and shock. “Why? Did I hurt you back in the dining room?” I hugged him “I’m afraid to leave you alone with your thoughts.” He smiled softly, his eyes filled with tenderness and love. He pulled me into his arms and under the covers. He murmured something in my ear but I was too tired to remember what he said. I swear he said “I love you” but I never bothered to find out.
