The Demons We Share. (Naruto Fanfiction)

#13

Once she stood in front of me, the chains disappeared. I fell on the floor of blood. I wanted to vomit.

"Having fun there?" She said mockingly. I got up and wiped some blood off my face. "Having the time of my life," I said with no emotion.

"Your no fun. Why don't I just kill you now?" She said as she growled and lowered her head to my level. I turned too fast that blood splashed all over her face.

"...fuck..." I said as I stood frozen like a statue. She only glared at me. "This whole floor is the past jinchuriki's who died. This is their blood~."

I stared down at my hands and my bloody clothes. I then slowly turned towards her. "So....did you...?" She nodded before I could finish.

"You damn monster!" I said as I jumped high in the air so I can land a good blow on her. She only looked up at me, and a gust of wind punched me in the guts, sending me flying almost a mile away from her.

The floor was still hard even from all this blood. "What makes you think you're no less of a monster yourself, Natsuna?!" She said in the shadows. "Just face it. You were only treated with respect because of what my sister did. If I had had it my way, you wouldn't be one month old. You've killed and tortured yourself. You are just as cruel and vicious as me!"

I fell on my knees completely shocked. She was right...I am a monster. Everything I do is nothing but violence, to the point I have killed people. I look at the palms of my hands and see they still have some blood on them. I'm going to die here.

Akuma lunged at me from the darkness, ready to tear me apart. I stayed frozen staring at my bloody palms. This is it.

Ōkami then jumps in front of me, like she was behind me the whole time. She bites Akuma hard in her neck and tosses her aside. Akuma goes crashing through columns but lands quickly on her feet again.

"You always have to ruin the damn fun, sister." She said as she stared at us. Ōkami didn't move; she was protecting me like I was her pup. "Akuma," she said "I have no idea how you managed to escape the orb. But, I will not let you lay a paw on Natsuna for as long I live."

Akuma then started to run at her. "Then it won't be long then!" She said as she lunged at Ōkami. I then feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around and see it's Neji.

Wait. "NEJI?!"

~Present day~

I snapped out of it. I feel so dizzy and weak; it's like all my chakra was just drained out of me. Neji was by the river getting some cloths cold again.

I groan a bit as the light hits my eyes. Neji turns towards me and runs. "You're awake. What happened to you?" I feel him take the towel off my forehead as he waits for my response.

"Akuma broke free of her orb. You know about Ōkami and Akuma right?" I said. He nodded. "Who doesn't? But, she took over your body?"

I nodded. "That's about right. Ugh...my head hurts." I put a hand on my head. But I quickly look at my palms to see the blood. There was none.

I sighed in relief and laid back down. Neji then came and changed the towel on my forehead; he did it so gently that I couldn't help but wonder why he is so mean to everyone?

Neji sat next to me and looked up at the sky. "Hey," he said, "Do you ever wonder who you look like the most?" I looked at him and thought about it for a few seconds. "Of course I do. Every day it's something I think about. I also think about who I act like the most. But I guess it was destiny for me never to know."

Neji stayed quiet for a few seconds, still staring at the sky. "I guess you may be right. But, they must have been strong people. I'm sure they would be proud of you."

I put my arm over my face because my eyes started to sweat. When Neji looked back at me, I felt him gently put a hand on my arm. "Are you crying?" He said in shock. "No...Yes." I croaked.

He moved my arm away and handed me one of his bandages. "It's either this or the grass." I smiled and took it. After cleaning my crusty face, I gave the un-used part back. Once he had it again, he got closer to me.

"Hold still." He said. I caught my breath for a moment. He started to clean the dirt/mud off my face. "If I poke your eye I'm blaming you." I giggled slightly. Then, the worst thing happened.

"NATSUNA!!! THERE YOU ARE!!!" He yelled as he jumped from a bush. Neji and I both jumped in shock that the next thing I know.
We
K I S S E D

Naruto froze in mid-air in shock. Neji's eyes and mine were as big as plates, full of disbelief and disgust. We jumped apart 10 seconds after it happened. "EW!!!" I yelled as I covered my mouth with my hands "I'm going to feast on bleach tonight!"

Nehi was gagging and trying to hold his vomit in. Naruto, on the other hand, was still in mid-air staring in disbelief. "You are so dead!!" Neji and I yelled at each other and ran away on opposite sides. But before I did, I grabbed Naruto and started to run. 

~Later~

"If you mention this to anyone I'm going to make sure you get banned from every ramen shop in Konoha," I said glaring at Naruto. He gave the biggest frown that it touched the floor. "I said I won't! Sorry!" I threw myself on the ground and waited for death. That was my FIRST kiss! 

I wanted it to be with someone I actually liked! Not with a jerk who thinks he's the best and all! Naruto started to pat my back. "It could've been worse, at least it wasn't Sasuke!" I raised my head quickly. Just the thought of that happening makes me want to throw myself in the river. 

"Well, you stole his first kiss Naruto. You beat me, thanks." Naruto vomited. 

I felt much better.  

~Neji P.O.V~ 

After getting my head out of the water, I started to look for my team. TenTen has the scroll, but she can be pretty clumsy. I found them about five hours later on a tree. "Neji!" They both said in joy. I stared but said nothing. 

"I am thrilled you are well!" Lee said in his burning youth tone. "TenTen, the scroll," I said while having my hand extended out. She quickly handed it to me. "What happened to you?" She asked. I sighed and sat down. 

~Later~ 

"No. WAY!!" They both yelled "you and Natsuna KISSED?!" I facepalmed. "It was an accident! I don't find her attractive one bit!" TenTen gave a devilish smirk. "Suuuuure!! So! How was your first kiss?!" Honestly, I shouldn't have told them anything. She was fangirling too hard and Lee was patting my back like a proud dad.

"AAAAH!! MY SHIP IS SAILING~!!" my mouth dropped open. "What do you mean ship?! You paired us up in your world TenTen?!" She giggled and nodded. Lee had waterfall tears and stars coming out of his eyes. "I am glad someone likes you and that you will not be alone in the future!!"

God, I hate breathing right now. Dead people are so lucky.
