Rebirth

**This popped into my head on the way to work as I listened to Courtesy Call by Sixx:AM. This is a sad song and as you listen to it especially the end it just tightens my chest every time I hear when they are breaking down the door and they find him.

Hope you enjoy!


**Sorry no Lemons in this one....maybe my next one, I hope!!!***

Rebirth

~~Naruto’s POV~~

I wonder who will find me. I wonder if they will mourn me when I'm gone. No, they would be happy, ecstatic that they won't have to see the demon that killed their loved one's so long ago. A constant reminder finally gone; Maybe, just maybe this pain in my chest will ease a little. Maybe if I kept my mind off of a certain someone, I would be able to do this.

These thoughts flowed through my mind as I walked through the darkened streets of the village. I was glad that no one stopped me, but I did feel the weight of those hated stares that came from those that were out. I ignored them as I always did. I headed toward my apartment, toward the last place that I will ever see.

As I walked up the rotting stairs toward my empty apartment I think back on the times that were fun, that were happy. The only times that were happiest in my life were when I was with him. Smirking, I never thought how this would affect him. At this moment I didn't care anymore. I was tired of all the fake smiles I had to place on my lips so no one would ask why my usually laughing eyes were sad.

I'm done thinking about what others would think. I just can't anymore, I’m so tired. I feel like I have a hundred years of weight upon my shoulders but I'm only 18. My life has never been easy but, but....I just can't anymore. A sad chuckle slipped through my lips.

'What’s so funny kit? ' the demon inside of me asked. He knew what I was planning to do and he wasn't going to stop me. He told me he wasn't. He felt bad for all the pain he had caused the people of the village and to me.

’Do you know what today is?’ I whispered.

'Happy birthday kit,'

Nodding I went to my door and opened it. I didn't bother with any locks, they were always broken anyway. I closed the door behind me and headed toward my room. I gaze upon the pictures that are on top of my dresser. These were the only valuable possessions I owned. I placed a gentle finger on the ravens face knowing this would be the last time that I would see him.

Drawing in a deep breath I asked Kyuubi, 'are you ready?'

Smiling, ' yea kit I am. You won't be alone.'

~~Normal POV~~

Sasuke walked with Sakura and Hinata and Kiba and Shikamaru toward Naruto's apartment. "He should be home by now," he told them.

Everyone knew of the raven’s feeling for the blonde. Sakura was actually happy for them. She herself had found love with the pale eyed Neji, who was away on a mission. "I can't wait to see his face!" she squealed with excitement.

"Turning 18 is the best! We can actually get into some of the bars in the village," Kiba said making a mental list of all the bars that he the blonde was going to visit.

Sasuke wasn't listening. He had quickened his pace. 'Something was wrong,'he thought as he started to jog.

Every one saw the raven speed up, "hey what's the rush?" Kiba asked.

"Something's wrong, I can feel it." he told them and started to run.

~~Naruto’s POV~~

I stared up at the ceiling. The whole apartment was in ruin. The ceiling had water stains and cracks in the corner and down the walls. I felt warm and wet and very tired. As my blue eyes lowered I could see that I was sitting in the tub filled with warm water. Smirking I noticed the pretty red colors in the water. Red, the color reminded me of the Teme's eyes when he activated his Sharigan. Sighing deeply I lowered myself deeper into the red warmth. Blood flowed freely from the vertical cuts I made into the tender flesh of my wrist. I didn’t feel any pain, I didn’t feel at all. I was going to free everyone of their obligations of trying to be my friend. ‘I'm not worthy, I thought as I closed my eyes smiling, "Happy Birthday to me" I whispered as the darkness took hold.
