Easier to Run - Chapter 9

 

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Nariko.

 

***************

 

Summary: Sometimes it's easier to run away from the pain and suffering in your heart. But if you had a reason to stay, would you? Sorry, summary sucks. Anyway, please review.

 

A/N: Thank you to my beta reader silverlining. ^.^ She's nice. Anyways, I'm thinking of making a Naruto high school story, but I don't have any ideas. So yeah. Now, on to the story!

 

Used to be based on the song 'Easier to Run' by Linkin Park, but now just based on some of Linkin Park's songs.

~ So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do

Face away and pretend that I'm not

But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got ~

From 'Faint' by Linkin Park

Getting her stuff to her apartment took less time than she thought. Soon Iruka left and she busied herself with the task of setting up her new room. While making her bed she gasped, noticing her colour palate for her bed. The comforter was the exact shade of Naruto's eyes. It was the beautiful shy blue except without the emotion that Naruto's eyes held. All of a sudden she felt the day catching up on her and became very sleepy. She decided to call it a night and went to bed. She fell asleep almost immediately.

“Nariko-chan, wake up we're late!!!” Nariko awoke to Naruto banging on the door. Augh! Not now! I don't wanna go and face everyone after what happened yesterday!

 

“Come in, Naruto.” She called. Why did I just say that? I can't have him looking at me with the way I look right now!

 

“I'm leav---“ Naruto stopped in mid-sentence as he walked into her bedroom. “Wow.”

 

“He he… Yeah, Naruto-kun, I think you should leave. I'll see you at training.” Nariko said pointedly. Meanwhile, Naruto was staring at her sheets. Nariko was confused. She couldn't figure out what Naruto was doing … “Naruto… What are you doing? You're like, fondling my sheets with your eyes!”

 

Naruto snapped his eyes up to look at her. “Aah! What the fuck! I don't fondle things!” He suddenly became confused. Very confused. “What's fondling, anyways?” Nariko rolled her eyes.

 

“You baka. Now leave me alone so I can dress.” With that Nariko got out of bed and headed into her bathroom to do her morning routine. “Leave without me!” She called as she shut the door.

 

*Naruto's POV*

 

As I gazed around Nariko's room, I noticed something. Her sheets matched the colour of my eyes. I got a bit freaked out at that at first, but then took it as a good thing. After all, that meant she liked me. Right? RIGHT?

“I'm leaving, Nariko-chan!” I called, then left, shutting the door behind me.

 

*End Naruto's POV*

 

Nariko walked out of her bathroom, only to find that Naruto had gone. What am I gonna wear? I can't go around wearing Naruto's clothes forever… She sighed. “Why me?” She said softly. “Why, me?” She repeated, louder now. “WHY ME?” She screamed, then jumped onto the bed and started screaming into the pillow. She eventually fell asleep.

 

*Dream*

 

Black. Why was there so much black?

“Nariko…” That voice. That voice that haunted her everywhere she went. Where was it?

 

“Nariko…” There it was again. This time louder. It was getting lighter, too.

 

“Nariko. I'm coming for you.” Even louder this time. It seemed like the voice was right in front of her. She couldn't see anything. Why couldn't she see? It was all so confusing.

 

It got lighter and lighter, until she could make out her surroundings. She was in a room. A dark room, with no lights. She could see shadows moving around. What were they?

 

“Nariko! I will get you. I am always there.” Behind her. She turned around and screamed.

 

*End Dream*

 

Nariko woke up in a sweat. She was breathing heavily, and couldn't think straight. Holy shit. She thought. What the hell was that about?

A/N: Thank you to everyone who's reading this story!!! ^^ I'm actually quite proud of myself because I never thought I'd be able to get this far with the story. I also never thought I'd never finish this chapter. And OMG is it ever short! 817 words with MSWord! Blame it on the writer's block. I'm really trying though. So thanks for reading.

Oh, and I just felt like adding the fondling part `cause a pervy guy in my class Billy was being extra perverted today. And by today I mean Sept. 15th and 22nd. 0.0 That's… wow. Yesterday. And… 8 days ago. Cool. ^^ So, I started this 9 or 10 days ago and finished it pretty quickly. This is good. ^^ Please don't forget to R&R! Anything will help, especially constructive criticism.
