Kai Namikaze

Comfort and Confrontation

A/N:

My apologies if it isn't great. It is a FanFiction so... meh. x)

Oh! WARNING!!

There are a lot of flashbacks for this.

Anyways. Enjoy!

A few months have passed and Naruto has gotten an apartment for himself to live in. Kai had helped him move what little things he has as Lord Third provided necessary furniture that he will need. Naruto was a bit against it at first because he really wanted to live with Kai. But Lord Third denied it, angering him.

Kai mentally sighs as she remembered how stubborn he was at not taking a "no" for an answer. Naruto was so angry that he fled the room and she had to go look for him. It took her a while until she found him up on the Hokage Monument.

~Flashback~

Naruto was sitting on the Fourth Hokage's head with his arms wrapped around his legs as he brought them to his chest. He was staring at the Village, eyes downcast. Taking a step towards him, Kai sat down next to him. It was quiet between them as the wind blew by.

"Why?" Naruto started.

Looking at him from her peripheral vision, Kai looks back to the Village, "Lord Hokage means well Naruto."

Balling his hands, Naruto hugs his legs tighter, "But why can't I live with you Kai? You're alone just like me. And you live in that big house by yourself. So why...?"

Inhaling through her nose, she exhales as she looks up at the birds that flew by above them. "Who knows. Not even I know why Naruto," she answered. Lies. She definitely knows why the Hokage doesn't want him to live with her. They were siblings, children of the Fourth Hokage, and yet... the Council is scared. Scared that the Nine-Tail Fox that lies dormant within him will unleash itself if he were to ever know the truth.

"Is it because I'm a monster? A freak like what everyone says I am? Is that why?" Naruto asked as he then buries his head in his arms, "I wouldn't be surprised if it was."

Bringing a hand up, she punched him in the head. Naruto yelped as he clutches his head. Looking up at her, he yelled, "What was that for Kai?" His eyes widen a bit when he saw her looking at him with a stern look. He fidgeted as he nervously asked, "W-What?"

"Don't ever say that again Naruto. Lord Hokage sees everyone as his family. Even you. Sure the villagers may not see you that way and they give you a hard time by calling you names. Names that don't define you. But Lord Hokage is only looking out for you. He's only doing what's best for you."

Naruto looked downcast, "Then why can't I live with you?"

Sighing, Kai put a hand on his head, "I don't know Naruto. But..." She trails off as she stood up to grab something out from her pocket. When she felt what she wanted, she dangled it to him as she held it by the string, "I made a second key to my house for you. I figured Lord Third wouldn't allow us to live together. But with this key, you can come over whenever you like. And even though we may not live together, we can do slumber parties at each other's home." She then put it in his hands.

Naruto stared at the key that she has given him. The key was orange on one side with an Uzumaki crest on it while the other was yellow with the Namikaze's crest. He then looks up at her. She held a smile on her face as she stood there. The sun was reflecting her hair as it shimmers like the sunset and her eyes, bright as the ocean blue. She grinned at him, "Now come on. If you want to be Hokage, you're still going to need a home to live in."

Smiling, Naruto jumped up to hug her around the waist as he shouted, "Yeah!"
