Itanaru Story

Chapter 2-The Blood Promise

Naruto P.O.V.

My eyes slowly half opened. The room was dark, the sounds of dripping water echoed throughout the place.

' Where am I? Am I dead?'

I felt warm arms wrap around him. Then I heard someone humming, it was low and husky. But the melody was beautiful yet sad. My half closed eyes looked up, my vision was sorta blurry but I could make out the features.

Red hair with many spikes, golden eyes laced with sadness and anger, pale skin and whisker like markings on his cheeks. He was the one hold me in his arms and humming a sad tune. He is beautiful.

" You're awake, do you feel okay Naruto?" The man asked with softness.

" W-who are you? Where am I? How do you know me?" I said with a panic. I sat up too fast and fell back down into his arms.

" Shhh, careful or you'll make your wounds open up." He said. He began petting my hair gently.

" Go to sleep now."

I watched the room darken then I drifted into a deep sleep. Was that heaven?

Itachi's P.O.V

Itachi jumped higher in the trees. He was trying to find a place to safely rest for awhile. Looking down at the beaten child he couldn't help but notice his whisker like scars were on his cheeks.

' He seems so fragile......like he'll break into pieces.' Thought Itachi.

He stared down at Naruto who was snuggling to him. Naruto's head rested under The Uchiha's chin, his golden hair waved in the wind,and his sleeping face was so innocent. It reminded him of Sasuke but more cuter.

Sasuke.....His only little brother, whom he betrayed and left to suffer. Guilt washed over Itachi. But he showed no emotion.

' I'm so sorry for doing that to you, Sasuke' Itachi thought.

Then Itachi came to a sudden stop when he was at a lake.

He set Naruto down on grass. Itachi ripped a piece of fabric off of his shirt then soaked it in water. He washed the blood off first but it surprised him when his cuts were healing by themselves.

' Must be the Nine Tailed Fox healing him.'

Itachi then watched Naruto's body heal. Naruto's eyes opened revealing Crimson red eyes. A demonic aura replaced the quiet one. The Nine Tailed fox was now awake.

" A pesky Uchiha, What is it you want?" The deep voice growled.

" Naruto was gonna die, I didn't know if I should or shouldn't have saved him. I just wanted to help him."

" You have spilled great blood, I could smell it off you. I am thankful for you have saved my host and I. But you are an Uchiha. All Uchihas are greedy and arrogant. So I propose a deal. " Kyuubi sat up, stared at Itachi with a grin that sent chills up Itachi's back and waited for him to answer.

" What's in it for me?" Itachi added.

" We'll serve you as a weapon, as long as you protect Naruto's life, teach him many things and make his life better. " Said The Kyuubi.

Itachi had to admit it was a good deal.

" It's a deal then." Itachi held his hand out.

" It's a deal but first We must a contract. With blood." His grin disappeared and his face turned into a serious look.

" With blood?" Itachi said looking confused.

" Yes. Just cut your hand and I'll cut mine. Then we shake hands. It's the most powerful contract there is." Kyuubi then held out his hand for a knife or kunai.

Itachi pulled a Kunai and slit his hand first. Then he passed the kunai to Kyuubi who then did the same.

" Do you Promise to give Naruto a better life?" The way the Kyuubi said sounded like a wedding vow.

" Yes. And do you Kyuubi promise to become a weapon greater than anything?" That also sounded like a wedding vow.

" Yes and when ever you need me just cut your finger and call my name." Kyuubi added.

Both Itachi and Kyuubi shook hands. As some blood dripped, Kyuubi's grin returned but more sinister. They the demonic aura faded away and It felt like a heavy weight was lifted outta the air. Then as Naruto fell Itachi caught him.

" I promise, no matter what. I'll always protect you, Always."
