[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
It's just the author. I remembered something I forgot in the first chappie- the disclaimer! I obviously don't own 'em, or I would have read all the manga already and would incorporate this into the REAL story!
Sakura walked through her apartment, noting that the rain had stopped.
'I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow- Kakashi-sensei said that practice wouldn't be able to be held if it was all muddy...' Sakura's eyes widened.
'Practice! Where do we meet and when? Kakashi-sensei didn't tell us!' She ran and grabbed a light jacket.
"Mom! I have to visit Kakashi-sensei and find out what time tomorrow's practice is. I'll be back after I tell Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun."
"Go ahead dear, but be careful around that Naruto boy." Sakura rolled her eyes. She had no clue what her mother had against Naruto, other than the fact that he was annoying, loud, and obnoxious...
"Bye." Sakura said, leaving.
Five minutes later, she was in front of Kakashi-sensei's home. She knocked. She waited a minute, then knocked again. Kakashi-sensei answered on the sixth knock.
"Hello? Oh, Sakura." he said. She smiled politely while Inner Sakura raged at him for taking so long.
'Grr... What was he DOING that took him so LONG to ANSWER?!' Inner Sakura thought.
"Sensei, I was wondering when and where we would be having practice tomorrow." Kakashi smiled at her.
"Oh, is that all? On the bridge, at seven in the morning. We had to cut practice short today, so we'll be kept later than usual. Tell them to pack lunch and a snack." Kakashi warned. Sakura nodded, then bowed a bit.
"Thank you sensei." Kakashi nodded and closed the door.
Sakura turned away and started heading over to Sasuke's house.
'Yeah! I get to see Sasuke-kun!' She smiled and practically skipped the whole way there. It didn't take her long to tell Sasuke-kun- and all he did was say 'hn' and nod- and soon she was waiting outside Naruto's apartment.
Sakura knocked again. This had to be the eigth time!
"Naruto!" she called again. She frowned. He must not be home.
'I'll check the Ramen stand...' she thought. 'Then Iruka-sensei's place. Where else could he be? Maybe training...' Listing the possible places in her head, Sakura started walking toward's the Ramen stand.
A half hour later, and Sakura was officially frustrated and worried. Naruto wasn't anywhere! No one had seen him.
'I should tell someone- maybe Sasuke-kun or Iruka-sensei or Kakashi-sensei could help me look.' Sakura wasn't quite sure why she wanted to look for the blond moron, but something about him missing didn't seem right to her.
Soon, she found herself back at Sasuke's home. She was unsure of why she visited here first, but she didn't know what to do.
She knocked on the door. Sasuke was there in a minute.
"What is it?" he asked her. He noted the worried look on her face.
"I- I can't find Naruto. No one has seen him, and this doesn't seem right to me." Sasuke grew worried instantly, but he didn't show it.
"The baka's probably at the Ramen stand, or training." Sakura shook her head.
"I checked about five minutes ago. There's no way he's in the village, and I checked the woods. He's gone."
'Gone? He- he didn't leave. He couldn't have.' Sasuke assured himself.
"We must inform Kakashi-sensei. He can help us search." Sakura nodded.
"If it's really important- he might just be goofing off, so I didn't want to bring Kakashi-sensei into-"
"It is that important." Sasuke said, cutting her off. She shut up.
"Let's go."
Naruto writhed in pain. They had used him in only one place- they had only violated his mouth- and were now kicking him. Groin, kidneys, stomach, anywhere- it didn't matter to them. He had coughed up bile and blood, but they just laughed.
"I think it's time to finish up, Boss." the small bald guy said. The leader nodded. Naruto's eyes widened.
There was one place they had not defiled- one place left untouched. He tried to pick himself up frantically, but his arms and legs failed him- he could not get up. He heard the shuffle of feet as the leader moved closer to him.
'Damnit... move!' he thought to himself. 'Move it! MOVE!' His body didn't obey, and the leader was there!
"This will be fun..." the leader murmured, flipping Naruto onto his back and getting in between the boys legs. Naruto tried to kick him, but his legs were too weak to do any damage.
'Boy... let me out! I can get rid of these men...' Kyuubi whispered to Naruto.
'How? I don't know how?!' Naruto thought back, freaking out and all but paralyzed from fear.
'Concentrate on my seal! Break it! Burn it! Use your Chakra! Come on boy, let me out!' Naruto tried to concentrate, but he was too shocked and unable to focus any Chakra.
The man slammed into Naruto. He screamed, feeling tears come to his eyes. The tears fell.
Asd the man continued, Naruto retreated into his mind- into the room containing the cage that contained Kyuubi.
'Let me out... boy.' Kyuubi said, eyes glaring down at Naruto.
'H-How? I- I can't focus my C-Chakra...' Naruto said, clutching his head and staring at the ground.
'Do it! You CAN do it! Let me out of here!' Kyuubi commanded. He reached out with his Chakra and lifted Naruto to the cage doors- to the seal- none too gentley. Naruto let out an 'oof' and then a scream of pain as his consciousness started to drift back to his physical body.
'Rip it off the doors!' Kyuubi urged. He would very likely never get another chance to take over this body and transform back to his real self.
Naruto let out another scream as his 'mind body' started to disappear. The last thing to go was a disembodied hand, clutching the top of the seal. As it disappeared, it dragged down, until the seal ripped completely.
The doors opened slowly, as the form of the huge nine-tailed fox strode out from his prison.
Naruto gasped and opened his eyes. He must have blacked out from the pain. He gasped for air, feeling teh pain in his lungs all over again.
'Sleep.' Kyuubi's voice told him. 'Sleep.' Naruto heard that voice from inside his mind. He didn't resist, not even being fully there yet. He blacked out again, not feeling teh Chakra spew from his body- from the seal- and enclosing him in a body.
The body of Kyuubi.
The two men watched their leader please himself in the body of a small boy. The boy was obviously unconscious, but that didn't seem to faze their leader.
'Sick... but it has to be done.' The man with hair of dead wheat thought.
'It would have been kinder to just torture him. But he doesn't deserve kindness.' the man with the scars thought.
Suddenly, the kid's eyes opened and he gasped. Their leader scrabbled off the kid, seeming to notice the blood-red eyes the kid suddenly had, instead of blue eyes. The kid gasped again, then seemed to pass out again. All three breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn't last long. They felt the evil Chakra before they noticed the boy changing.
In a few minutes, where the boy had lain was a form they recognized. They had fought against him, in fact.
"Kyuubi." all three whispered. They stumbked back, almost falling, then turned and ran for their lives.
The creature growled and charged, slicing with his claws in vital spots- granting them each quick deaths.
'This is my thank you.' he thought to the corpses. 'Thanks for forcing the kid to let me out.' Almost chuckling to himself, he turned his eyes on the nearby village.
'Konoha will pay for sealing me inside this bot.' He smiled (as much as a fox could smile) his eyes full of malice.
'They will pay dearly.'
