The Memory Keeper (Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter Fourteen- Ideal

Hey, Hi, Hello.

Welcome to chapter fourteen. I hope you enjoy it(: I wrote this chapter quickly, so hopefully it's good(: Kinda long-ish, I guess. Maybe just normal. The song is 'Never Give In' by Black Veil Brides, simply because I feel it describes Kimi's attitude in this chapter, the upcoming chapters, and in the story over all because for however much she might complain, she's not giving up. She's too strong willed and stubborn for that:P And this is a very, VERY important chapter. Crucial, in fact. I think I might shock some people, if you haven't seen the specific suggestion that inspired this chapter. On that note, I would like to thank LuuuuvMyGrell for giving me this ideaxD

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto (though I wish I did!)
WARNINGS: The normal. Cuss words, blood, etc. A determined Kimi. Definitely not as angry, but much more determined.

Anything in bold is important or with emphasis.
This is what memories look like!
Kimi-chan's thoughts look like this.
'Song lyrics appear like so.'

Que the song lyrics, and the start of the chapter~~

'Never give in, never back down.
Never give in, never back down.
When your life feels lost,
fight against all odds.
Never give in, never back down.'

   I feel frozen as Naruto's crouched on a branch in front of the giant snake. My body twitches with my efforts to move, but I can't. I physically cannot move. The snake girl is standing on top of the snake's head, staring down at Naruto. Naruto is panting heavily. I feel so worried- my breath is caught in my throat. I mentally scream at myself to move, but to no avail.

   "Cute little prey," she purrs. My heart plummets as the snake's tail flicks out, breaking the branch Naruto was on and flinging him down, several feet, onto a tree. There's a sickening crack as his body hits the tree. Move! Move! Move! Save your team mate-move! Move! Blood trickles from his lips and he falls forward and to the ground. "Well, finish him off," the snake girl says, and her summon complies. 

   I finally regain some semblance of control over my body, and I take a kunai from my pocket. Just as I'm about to throw it, I freeze again. Naruto twists his body and screams, "SHOVE IT!" before kicking the snake and forcing his body back from the immense force. He flies forward again, punching the snake over and over in pure fury.

   Something is wrong. His eyes- they're red. Blood red. There is more to him than I first believed. That much is obvious. 

  The snake's tongue darts out, striking Naruto and causing him to fall back again. He hits a tree branch and remains motionless. The snake girl and the snake itself turn to Sasuke, who's frozen in fear. My eyes widen as I realize what's about to happen. Move, dammit, move!

   I manage to move, to my sheer relief. In the blink of an eye, with incredible speed, I draw two kunai and dart forward, landing like a cat in front of Sasuke. Naruto moves, too, and he lands directly in front of me. He embeds his kunai into the snake's head. His feet are planted firmly on the tree. His head is hanging and his entire body is heaving from his heavy breathing. He was obviously tired.

   And then he speaks. "Are you okay..." He looks up, blood red eyes blazing,  "...scaredy cat?"

   My eyes widen, as I was not even bothering to try and cover my reactions right now. His eyes hold some animalistic fury in them that shakes me to my very core. There was something big going on within him, and I needed to find out before it was too late and there was nothing I could do. The little wheels in my head begin turning-what could this possibly be? What?
