Only 30 Days

5ive

Nothing. Not a peep from Naruto. If he doesnt wake up soon well have more days added.

I gently shake him, and decided enough is enough. I cant keep letting what that fox say wonder around in my head.

"Naruto!" I call as i shake him harder

He groans a bit before he slaps my head "five more minutes."

"Im not an alarm clock dammit!" I snap as i pull him off the couch letting him body fall to the floor

"OWW! What was that for teme!?" He whines as he gets up

"Dont call me teme, dobe. Youve been out for a while, i need some answers." I reply

"Depends on the questions." He says and pulls himself up onto the couch

"The day you left the village, where'd you go?" I ask

He flinched a bit at my words and right as he began to talk i listened in on his heart beat, dont lie Uzumaki.

His story was simple, how Itachi compelled him to leave the village gates and once he did, he used the foxes hatred to change Naruto into the beast. Itachi put a better seal on fo reasons Naruto cant say, blah blah.

Why did the fox want me to know all this? What use is this.

I looked up a Narutos who face was beat red.

"Whats wrong?" I ask as i place my hand on his head "you sick?"

"Uh, i should go to sleep!" He yells as he runs into his room

"You were just sleep." I mumble

After a few minutes i figure he really did go to sleep, and head to his room. I have to know why that fox wanted me to hear that, something so small.

He was balled up, like a fox, blankets wrapped arouns him. And i could feel the heat coming off him from here.

I walked over to the bed and brushed against him, feeling a sharp pain where i touched him.

"I let you into my head once, but not again." Naruto mumbled

"What do you mean?" I asked

I bend down and his eyes were closed and he was crying, he was sleeping.

"What do you mean Naruto." I repeat

"Please, don't hurt Sasuke." He cries

I watch as fox ears slowly vanish and fade from his head. Hes talking to that fox, its in his head to.

I try to touch his hand but its like a flame keeping me from touching him.

"I dont want to hurt you." Naruto says "you promised me, those were your words."

"Whos words?" I just wanted him to let me in "please let me in"

"You damn brat! I took care of you when no one else cared and all you care about is that Uchiha! He hates you let him go! Come with us."

I could see him, the fox. In a gate, really huge on at that. And a seal on the lock. Naruto stood just on the outside of it.

"I never asked for this." He replied and lowered his head

"If i let you die, Itachi kills me! Then you might as well say goodbye to Sasuke."

"Fine, you have my word, i will do it."

"You really love him that much"

"I-

I jumped awake, like always. Naruto rolled over loosing contact.

Then like always i remembered. He what? What was he going to say! And why did he have a deal with itachi! What didnt i know?

"Goodmorning ino." I whiper as i walk pass her room

"Mm" She gently replies and walks into the bathroom.

I love you Sakura.

Ever since what she said yesterday, i cant controll myself. My face heats up when i see her, and i fidget when she glances at me. My heart speeds up when she brushed up against me while walking past.

Its like im more self conscious of both her and myself. What do i do? What do i say?

"Your in the way." Ino says

I look up and notice i was standing in the doorway of the bathroom.

"S-Sorry." I reply and step aside

She walks past me, her hair gently brushing against me.

Dont ignore me, talk to me. If i feel this way when you wont talk to me, i want to know why.

She looks back as if she wants to say something but doesnt. Then she looks back again. "Please, say something, even if i wont like it, just say it. Reject me, accept me, just say something."

"Im not sure what to say,  or what to do." I felt like my heart was being thrown away. These feelings, im not sure if theyre for her, or if i just hate that im slowly loosing an old friend.

"Alright." She say and gently smiles

I look up before she closes the door and notice the tear trickling down her face, "kiss me."

She stop but doesnt move. "Sakura. Dont pity me."

"Its not pity, i want to know how i feel about you, and if a kiss is the only way to find out, then...kiss me!"

"I cant, because if you really dont like me, i cant take that pain. My love for you is a burden i bare." She says and closes the door

I place my hand on the door, "then...Then let me help you. I can bare it with you, no one should sufferalone, so please. Let me-

The door flies open and the throws herself into my arms, crying into my should. My heart was thumping against my rib cage, i felt like i was going to pass out.

"I wont kiss you, this is enough for now."

I yawned as i walked into the kitchen. Theres no pointin avoiding him. Its not like he cares any more.

I wish akamaru was here, at least i wouldnt be bored.

"Can i borrow a moment of your time." Neji asks as he walks into the room "you dont seem to be doing anything productive anyways."

I sit up and he sits beside me. " whats up? I ask trying to keep calm

"When i activage my byakugan....i can see your blood stream, and why when i talk to you, does your heart beat faster?" He ask and i notice him staringat my chest

He was right, i felt my heart speed up the moment i heart his voice.

"Do i scare you?" He asks

"I-.."

I wasnt sure what to say. I didnt know how i felt. I dont think i was scared.

"Kiba. Please tell me, id like to know."

"Why! Woul it be so bad if i was! All youve ever done was treat me differently, like im an outcast. Sakura heals people with slugs, Sasuke talks to crows, Naruto has a fox in his stomach so why am i so different?!" I felt like crying punching everything

He seems to be lost for words and i didnt want to be here when he found them. I stood up and walked past him.

I felt arms around my waist and i couldnt move. "Let go!" I yell

"No." He replies

"LET GO!" I scream and hit his arms but he wont let go

"I said no!" He yells back

"please." I cry. The tears falling down my face.

"Im sorry." He says and lets me go

I fall down to my knees and he sits there with me, "i always hurt the people i love." He sighs as i drift of.

So he loves me.
