[ Naruto POV ]
"Taking a bath after a stressful day is the best"
I dunked my head under the water. I'm great full that I didn't run into Sasuke while leaving the building. I quickly pulled my head out of the water and hung it over the edge of the tub coughing. Something came up from my throat and landed on the ground. I whipped my mouth and looked down at the floor.
"I should clean that up"
I cured my hands with water and splashed it on the blood making it fade away. I got up and stepped out of the tub.

I was sitting at the desk looking over texts books while eating ramen.
"I should do my laundry soon"
"Is that all your going to eat"
"No"
I pointed to the table,
"There are more"
The table had cups of ramen noddles waiting to be eaten.
"That's all ramen"
I nodded while eating ramen. I put my chopsticks into the foam cup and found that there were no noddles left so I drank the broth. I threw the empty container in the trash next to me,
"Pass me the one to your right Ino"
I heard the next cup of ramen being set down and I picked it up. I placed my chopsticks I got the cup, stirred the contents, and started eating.
"You have to eat some vegetables"
"There are"
"That's nothing"
I looked up,
"By the way did you find anything regarding the key"
She nodded,
"A locker near the station"
"Did you open the safe yet"
She placed a key card on the desk in front of me.
"Where does that lead to"
"Somewhere in Russia"
"I need exact locations"
"I'll start working on that but in the meantime..."
"Hm"
She picked up all of the cups I set on the table,
"...try to eat some normal food"
She started walking out the door,
"Ino give those back"
Ino left the room without another word. I looked back to he books and tried to focus.
"Well now I have to change tactics"

I opened my closet door and saw all of my dirty clothes. I picked up the basket and started heading to the laundry room.

I set the basket down and opened the door revealing Kurama folding clothes. He turned to look at me and I smiled.
"Can you wash my clothes as well"
He sighed,
"Separate them"
I took the clothes as I was separating them into piles. The piles consisted of darks, whites, reds, and lights. I looked over my work and nodded my head. I picked up the basket and walked back to my room.

I set the basket back into the closet and laid on my bed. I picked up the book I left on my nightstand and stared reading.

I couldn't get my mind off it. I could stop myself from thinking about my death. I've tried to occupy myself all day but it just keeps coming back into my head. I was trying so hard that my mind fell on writing my will. I didn't do it because I decided that I would write it when I'm closer to death. Like a week before. It's not like I know exactly when it's going to happen but Second gave me an estimated time. He gave me two month at the most. That means I could die anywhere between now and then depending on how fast this disease is spreading. I opened the window and look out into a darkened plain. I touched the window,
"I wonder where I should die"

I looked out the window and saw the sun raising about the houses. I got up and walked to the bathroom.

I was sitting in that tub looking down at the green water. I had already coughed a pool of blood on the ground next to me. I looked up at the ceiling and sighed.
"I've got classes today"
I walked out of the bath, dried myself off, drained the tub, and walked out of the bathroom.

I opened the drawer and saw only one pair of clothes. I put on the black ripped jeans and a black top. I picked up the sweater on my bed and put it on. I grabbed my bag filled with textbooks and walked out of my room.

I opened the door to my first class and saw Sasuke sitting at a desk. I forgot Ino put me and Sasuke in all of the same classes. I walked down the middle of all the seats and sat in the back next to a window. I looked outside and sighed.
"Today is going to be a long day"

All my classes are over and I was walking home next to everyone.
"Did you talk with Sasuke"
I shook my head,
"I had little interaction with him"
Sasuke, he's going to be a big problem here. His feelings for me are confusing him. I don't know how he'll act when he finds out I died.

[ Kurama POV ]
I heard the front door open and walked to the living room. I looked around and checked that everyone made it home. Everyone was back and I saw how they split up going to different sections of the house.

I opened the door to Naruto's room and walked inside. I opened the closet door and saw an empty basket. I closed the door and walked to the drawer. I pulled one open and saw almost nothing in them. I closed the drawer and walked to the bathroom door. I opened the door and my vision flew to one spot on the floor. There was a red smudge stain on the floor. I walked closer to the stain, kneeled down, and touched it. The stain on the floor was dried blood. I stood up and walked out of the bathroom and the room, closing the doors behind me.

I slammed the door to the office open and walked in front of the desk.
"Yes"
Naruto had his head down on one of his textbooks with his arms covering his face.
"Your coughing up blood aren't you"
"That's right"
I slammed my hands on the table,
"Why"
"The final phase"
I grabbed his wrist, pulled him up, and dragged him outside the office.
"Kurama what are you doing"
"Your telling everyone"
"Kurama-"

[ Naruto POV ]
I ended out sitting at the front of the meeting room table with everyone.
"I have something to say"
I paused to take a deep breath but coughed instead. I covered my mouth while blood and flowers landed on my hand. I lifted my hand from my mouth revealing blood dripping from the side of my mouth. I looked down,
"I don't have much time left"
I looked back up and saw the faces of the people around me. Some were worried, some were scared, others were mad but, the one thing that shown though their eyes the most was sadness. With Sai, it was hard to figure out what he was feeling because he always says he doesn't understand human emotions. His eyes had sadness in them but also confusion. Ino was the first one to speak,
"What"
Her voice was shaky. It sounded like she was going to break into thousands of pieces at any moment. I smiled,
"Why don't I tell you a story"
"What good will that do"
Neji's eyes were filled with emotion as he spoke. I though his eyes would over fill with emotion and tears would start spilling out. They didn't, none of them were crying they just had eyes filled with emotions. All of them had learned to cover their emotions. I turned my gaze to Neji,
"Just listen"
