I'm Back!!!

~ 3rd person ~

A week and a half went by before Naruto was fully healed. Even through he had a little more energy then he did before making the deal, he still had night terrors whenever he rarely slept. His current appearance was that of a 11 year old that is a little to short for his age. His dirty blond hair was a little bit over his shoulders and his once bright blue eyes are now 5 times darker, showing how much the recent events have taken a toll on him. His skin was pale and he had huge bags under his eyes from the lack of sleep. He hasn't left the house since that day, lucky he hasn't heard anything from Jiji about a new mission. But he can't even think about entering the village again. 

Both him and Kurama decided that today would be the day that they would seal the deal and make Naruto into one third of a fox demon. Kurama made Naruto sit down with him on the couch so they can discuss the details of what is about to happen.

~ Naruto's POV ~

I sat down next to Kura, settling into his side and laying my head against his shoulder, or arm because I was so short compared to him. Ever since we made that deal, I decide to make an effort to get better, starting with physical contact. After what happen, the slightest touch would make me jump/flinch. After a while I got tired of it, and I noticed the face that Kura would make when I do it. The face of sadness, anger, and disappointment. I couldn't live like this. So I started with holding hands, moved to random hugs, then lastly cuddles. I think I'm pretty good now with physical contact, but I know its only with people that I'm close with. Strangers could catch these jutsus. I would have thought that Kura would get tired of it by now, but he's loving it. I guess all the years of not having loving contact has made him vulnerable to affection.

Now that we are settled in, he starts with the details. "I want to start this with giving you a chance to back out. Please remember that there is a chance that you could die. I don't know how long this will take but you will be in constant pain, and I'm talking about burning from the inside out pain. I can't help nor stop it, please think this through." I just sat there and listen. I know that he's worried but my mind is already made up. I know the risks, but I also know the benefits. I have to do this, so that that accident never happens again. I get off him and turn towards him so I can look at his face while I give him my answer.

"Kura, I know you're worried, but you can't talk me out of this. I'm gonna do this. Please let me do this." He just sighed and nodded. I know that he wants me to not do it. To tell him that I will back down and continue living as a human, but I can't, not anymore. 

"Okay, well, there are a few things that we need to do before. This is a ritual after all. I gonna first go meditate in the cave to the left of the house. Do you know the one I'm talking about?" I nodded, "Good, after about an hour come in there with that red kimono that I gave you. And make sure you but your hair up, I don't want you to be pulling at it. I have to bite you, the bite mark will stay for the rest of your life. Do have an idea on a place that you are okay with having me bite and the mark being at?"

I thought for a second, where would be a good place? The neck is too personal, the legs are out of the question, the only other place that I can think of that I would be okay with is my wrist. "Would my wrist work?"

He nodded and said, "Yea that's fine, it just might hurt a little more since the wrist is a very sensitive area." He then got fully up. He looked back down at me, gave me a sad smile, then left the house. I sat there for a while, then it hit me, there is a chance that I might not be alive in the near future because of this. Damn, Kura might even blame himself. I can't show any kind of fear, I must stay confident in my ability to pass through this. I got up to only sit back down in the middle of the living room to also meditate. I wanted to get my thoughts in order. After about 45 minutes, I got up and started to get ready. I had a little trouble getting the kimono on but it still looked good in the end. I placed my hair in a small low bun and started to walk out. I debated putting on shoes but decided against it. 

I made it to the entrance of the cave with five minutes to spare. As I walked into the cave, I could feel Kura's chakra, it felt like a spring's breeze. You could feel both the warmth and the coldness. Once I finally reached him, I sat on my knees in front of him, Japanese style. I sat there quietly, just studying his face. You know incase this is the last time seeing it. He looked at peace with his long red hair out and his eyes closed. He has tan skin with with a beauty mark right above his lip. He looks like a god. He is my first friend, and part of my small makeshift family. I love him so much. He opened his eyes and I got to stare into those beautiful red jewels of his. I could see the small yellow flacks in them and the faint light coming off them. He then said, "I'm ready, are you?" All I could do was nod. 

I presented my arm to him. He pulled back the sleeve and was about to bit me when I decide to speak me mind. "Kura, no matter what happens, please don't blame yourself, this was my choice." I place my other hand on his check, giving it a small stroke. I could see that his eyes were starting to water. I gave him a smile as I put all my love into, then gave a little nod. I could tell that he was on the verge of crying, but he nodded too, placing my wrist in his mouth and biting hard. I felt the tear hit my arm before the pain came in. I caught one final glance at Kura before my eyes went unfocused and the pain start to get intense. 

~ Kurama's POV ~

I stood behind him as he curled him self into fetal position. He was like that for a while. He was biting on his lower lip, (it was already bleeding) and his body would tremble every once in a while. I sat down to watch over him, I wouldn't leave this cave until this was over. I could feel the tears go down my face as I watch my kit try to endure.

About 2 hours has past before he started to scream. He was now tossing and turning as he yell and shout in pain. I knew this was going to haunt my dreams. He had tears going down his face and was covered in sweat. If he wasn't yelling, he was sobbing, if he wasn't doing either of those, he was having trouble breathing. Kami, I wish this would be over soon. 

Today marks the third day that we have been in this cave. He would constantly switch between screaming to silently holding it in. I could tell that the pain was only getting worst. He has scratch marks all over, was covered in sweat, at some point his hair came undone, and hes bleeding. Neither of us have any water or anything to eat since we came here. I'm starting to lose hope.

Today is the fourth day, its currently the afternoon and he has finally stop yelling. I stood up and walked over to him to make sure that I was there in either his last moments, or for his awakening. Now that I'm actually looking, I could see the differences in his appearance. For starters, he now have fox ears and 2 tails, but it was the little differences that took me by surprise. His once dirty blonde hair is now a neutral blonde. His skin tone is no longer a sickly pale but is now as fair as a princess and lastly his whiskers are now faint. I started to lean in to get a better look but the closer I got, the slower his breathing went. After a while, it stops. "No no no no no no no NO!" I pick him up and place my ear against his chest, trying to listen for his heart beat. Finding none. My voice came out to barely a whisper as I pulled him into a hug. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I lift my head towards the ceiling and let the tears fall. He's gone.

Kurama sits there, weeping over Naruto's limp body. After about a minute, Naruto's body jerks, and a sharp gasp can be heard. Kurama pulls back so he can see Naruto's face. Naruto first is breathing hard, but it slowly even outs. He finally lifts his head and open his eyes to see Kurama. Kurama's face is stuck in shock as he looks into Naruto's new lavender eyes that glows in the darkness. Naruto places his hand upon Kurama's check and wipe away the tears. "I thought I told you not to blame yourself."

And that it. Hope yall enjoy and HAPPY NEW YEARS. I tried to get this out supper fast so if you see anything wrong don't hesitate to tell me :)
