Alternate Ending

Everything in this is the same up to the ending.

WARNING: CHARACTOR DEATH

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He had never fallen asleep in someone else’s arms.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to or he didn’t like being touched…because he did want to, he wanted to be touched.

He was just scared.

He was scared that the moment he fell asleep…he would be dead. If he had been any other person, he wouldn’t have to worry about it. He wouldn’t have to be scared that even people he trusted would kill him in a moment of weakness…a moment of sleep. But he had been born and moments later…he was the most hated person in the entire village.

The kyuubi had been sealed inside of him.

Now he barely slept…much less with someone else. He had friends, yes. But that didn’t mean he could fully trust them with his life if he decided to fall asleep. He couldn’t fully trust anyone. He liked to think that he would trust Iruka-Sensei with his life but he knew, if the council ordered him dead, there was no way the chuunin school teacher would be able to stop it. He would just end up dead also…for trying to save him.

There were very few people that he felt absolutely safe around and…sleeping with them, it just wouldn’t happen. He knew he could sleep with Tsunade-baa-chan but…she was busy doing everything to keep the village together and he didn’t want to do anything to bother her. He felt safe, surprisingly, with Ibiki-san but…he was the torture specialist and much too busy to watch over a teenager while he tried to get a few hours of sleep. There was others…but they were just to far out of the realm of possibility to even think of.

His sleep loss all came to a boiling point when he was on a mission and too tired to pay attention properly. He had heard a scream, to this day he didn’t know what the person had said, and then he was going down, his eyes widening as a kunai buried itself in his back. He didn’t remember anything that happened after that, not until he woke up in the Konoha hospital, his very peeved, worried and….something else teammates standing around his bed. They were quickly shooed out of the room however, leaving him and the Hokage herself alone…or so he thought.

“You have no idea what Kakashi did to save you.”

Naruto’s heart had sunk at that…he hadn’t seen Kakashi-Sensei yet…he hadn’t been there when he woke up. All of his fears and anxieties coiled together, bringing tears to his eyes and causing his body to shake. “Did he…”

“I’m sorry Naruto…” Tsunade murmured, running her hand lightly through the blondes hair, a soft smile on her face. “He did everything he could.” She said, her light brown eyes filling with tears before she bowed out of the room, leaving Naruto alone…and devastated.

“No…” It was almost a whimpered cry as he curled into himself, his hands going into his own bright blonde hair and pulling harshly to try to stop the tears. “No…he can’t be…” Naruto had his knee’s pulled up to his chest, his arms wrapped around himself in a hug as he cried, burying his head in his knee’s. “No…”

It was just a whisper around him, a ghostly resonance the calmed his tears and his heart. His eyes opening at the strange but familiar presence.

“Sleep in my arms.”

He didn’t know if he actually hear the words or not but they washed over his being, his heart still ached but his body was slowly falling, his mind too tired to stay awake. He could swear he could feel a strong chest again his back, warm arms wrapped around his body and that damnable book held in front of him.

“It’s safe…sleep in my arms.”

The voice had gotten stronger, causing another light whimper to come from the teens throat as he let himself lean back, his body cradled by the ghostly presence.

He fell asleep.

It was just a slow, drifting off of his being and conscious, his body and presence falling into that blissful sleep that one only reached once in his lifetime. He stayed just like that, his cheeks stained with tears and his hand wrapped around a phantom arm.

He slept in his precious teachers arms for the rest of time.

AN: Allright, so I normally wouldn’t post something like this but I figured you all should see what I saw as another ending in my mind. Almost the whole first page was the same, this is JUST an alternate ending, not a totally different story. Don’t kill me! This is the first time I’ve ever posted the story when I’ve done something like this.

Hey there everyone, I know I am supposed to be working on other things but…I saw a picture and I just couldn’t get this out of my head.

This is the pic and I’m also going to use it as the cover picture. If it’s yours, please tell me and I’ll give you proper identification or take it down at your request.

Well, I hope you all like it!! Comments and favs are loved!
