You never know what will happen to you…

The whole forest was scorching in flames.

He didn't know how this had happened. He didn't know why Madara and the villagers were chasing him, hell he didn't even know what he had done; but he knew he had to get away; he had to disappear.

"There he is! After him!"

The fox gasped, and turned around but saw another human. In less than three seconds, he found that he was surrounded. The human's silhouettes were dark, their eyes burned red with anger, as hot as the flames around them, and they slowly closed in on him. He didn't recognize any of them being Madara's so he panicked. He didn't want to hurt them, Madara would never forgive him. Thus, wiping away any chance of fixing things. This had to be a misunderstanding.

"Stay back! Why are you doing this?" he yelled at the humans.

"The monster really can talk!" One said and the others whispered around them.

Madara, out of nowhere, stepped forward, "You killed three families in our village. This cannot be over looked…"

"What? I didn't kill anyone! Why would I want to spill human blood? What purpose would that serve me?" the fox yelled over the crackling fire around them.

He could see Madara's frame come closer. His broad shoulders were tense and steady, his long hair was loose on his back, but freakishly found a way to spike out him the back. The fire reflected off of Madara's blue-black eyes, making them look a crimson red.

Madara didn't look like he wanted to talk.

The fox demon's blue eyes faded to crimson red, he knew there was no way to convince them or Madara that he didn't do anything. Forcing his animal form to change, his body popped and cracked as he stood up right like the humans around him; his nine tails swaying dangerously with stokes of fire.

He didn't want to fight them, didn't want to fight his long time human friend, but if it meant life and death, he would do it.

"Madara.. Do you really think you can kill me? You humans are so optimistic." Even his voice underwent changes; it wasn't rough anymore but it was smooth like velvet.

"Of course not. You are the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the Lord of all demons alive. There is no way mere humans can kill you." Madara made his name clear. He usually called him by Naruto, so hearing this hurt him the most.

"Well then, my dear Madara, what do you plan to do? Throw a couple of those spears at me? Or maybe some rocks?" Naruto taunted.

"We'll seal you." the raven haired man's words were etched with pain and Naruto didn't catch it. "W-what?"

The humans ran and quickly made a circle around him, and started chanting in deep even voices.

"Seal thy soul for eternity. Seal thy power for eternity. Let thy monster repent and let time decide how much thy must spent."

The fox's eye widened as he felt his body seize up and freeze. 'I can't move!'

"And if anyone is to undo the curse, let them be bound to thyself for as long as thy live."

He felt the air in his lungs being pushed out and he squeezed his eyes in immense pain. The fox looked down, only to see that his legs were being turned to stone… and it was slowly moving up to his abdomen.

"Madara!" Clearly scared, the fox made one last attempt, "WHY!? I thought that I was your friend! Please listen to me! I didn't kill anyone!" he saw the sad look in his friend's eyes, but he didn't stop chanting.

"Seal thy soul for eternity. Seal thy power for eternity. Let thy monster repent and let time decide how much thy must spent."

'No!'

His neck was being turned to stone and he frantically looked at his friend, still trying to plead with him.

When he made eye contact with Madara, the other closed his eyes. That itself hurt him the most. Madara was always proud and always made eye contact. It showed that he was sure of himself, showed that he was strong. But now… Naruto didn't know what to think anymore.

He was betrayed, falsely accused, and was about to be sealed. Anger erupted throughout his stoned chest.

"Madara," he squeaked painfully, "I'll kill you." Crimson eyes saw the other's snap open, "If I ever get free, I'll kill you all; your family, your friends, everyone!" he roared with his last breath, as the rest of him was ionized.

Their chanting stopped, and after a long silence Madara was the first to step forward. "I'm sorry... I never wanted this to happen." he whispered and touched the other's face; seeing that it was frozen in agony.

A tear slipped down his cheek, "I tried to find another way, I tried to find you; to tell you to run away…"

"Madara-sama, we need to get him away from the village." One of the others came up behind him.

"Yes." his hand slipped away from the demon's face to wipe his own. "We will place Kyuubi in the middle of the forest. Tell three men to go back and have the priests write some other seals, powerful seals and bring them back."

"Yes sir." he was left alone again.

Madara turned back around, "I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, Naruto…"

- - - - Nine Hundred and Eighty-eight Years Later - - - -

"On that day, it was known to everyone as the day the Kyuubi no Kitsune was sealed. But to Uchiha Madara, that was the day he had sealed his best friend."

Uchiha Mikoto finished with her bed time story. She had told it nearly a hundred times, but it was one of Sasuke's favorites. "It's a tragic ending, but Kyuubi had to be sealed. He couldn't go unpunished for killing innocent people."

She leaned forward and repeated the same words she said every night, "And they say that if anyone of the Uchiha lineage just so happens to stumble upon Kyuubi, they would unconsciously undo the seal merely with their presence."

"…Okaa-san, do you think that story is true?"

"Maa," she stood and kissed her youngest son on the cheek, "It's just a fairy tale, Sasuke-kun."

"Then why doesn't anyone go near the forest?"

"Because that place is dangerous, Sasuke-kun. You know that."

"But why is it dangerous?"

Mikoto frowned, "Don't ask questions. Just do as I say and stay away from there." she reached over and turned off the lamp next to his bed.

"Good night, Sasuke."

The six year old pouted, "Good night Okaa-san." he heard her giggle and close the door.

Sasuke turned over in bed, 'It must have been very hard for Madara-sama to seal Kyuubi.' he closed his eyes.

'I would never do that to my best friend… if I had one.'

- - - - Twelve Years Later - - - -

"No."

"Sasuke dear, please-"

"NO! I'm not marrying that-that WENCH!"

"Sasuke! Mind your language!"

Eighteen year-old Sasuke growled, "I don't even know why I have to marry her! I'm only eighteen! I've got the rest of my life ahead of me! I don't want to be tied down so soon!"

"I'm sorry you feel that way," His mother sighed, "But your marrying Sakura-chan next week, on schedule. No ifs, ands, or buts about it." she then looked over at her husband. "You've been quiet this whole time; say something to settle your son down!"

Fugaku sighed, "…Sasuke, everyone in this clan is married at the age of eighteen. You are no exception." he stood and walked over, "I was married to your mother at eighteen, Itachi was married at eighteen, and you'll be married to Sakura."

Sasuke glared at his father, "I refuse to marry her. I'd rather die."

His father glared back. "I don't care, next week you will be married and hopefully, some time soon, you'll give your mother some grandchildren." Fugaku saw the scowl on Sasuke face, "You'll grow to love her, she does have some attractive qualities. Spend your time finding out what they are."

"But Oto-"

"End of discussion!" he was cut off, it was clear to him that his father wasn't going to change his mind. Sasuke stormed off and slammed the front door, he needed some air. And not the air of the village.

Sasuke ran down the dirt road, 'I'll go to the forest. No one will dare look for me there.'

Truth be told, Sasuke didn't head his mother's warnings about the forest. Despite all of the bad ill, it was one of the most peaceful place Sasuke knew. And as he was walking into the borders, he felt all of his stress and anxiety lift, leaving a light feeling in his heart.

Now a tad bit deeper into the forest; with a faint smile on his face, Sasuke sat down and leaned onto a tree. He seriously didn't know what to do about the whole marriage thing. The first time he had met his fiancé… he knew there was something wrong.

This was before his parents told him about the marriage; Haruno was dressed fashionably and was very charming.

It made Sasuke sick.

She kept on invading his space, kept on batting her eyelashes and trying to touch him. All of those things were a huge turn off from the beginning.

Then, six months ago, he was told he was supposed to marry that wench! Why? Why!? He didn't want to be bound to anyone, especially this soon!

Sasuke looked up at the tree's canopy. All he wanted to do was travel, see the world and all its mysterious places, meet new people and find a purpose in life.

How was he going to do that with Sakura? She'd bitch and moan and complain; he knew she would.

'I have until next week, my last try to convince Otou-san and Okaa-san, that I don't want to.' he slouched and put his hands into his sleeves.

The rays of sun shone on him, bringing warmth that made him contently lethargic. It had been a long day and it was the perfect time to sleep, and with that in mind, the Uchiha let his eyes close.

It had only seemed like a second later, but when he reopened his blue-black eyes, it was dark. Really dark.

'Shit! I over slept!' He scrambled up and ran as fast as his feet could take him. His house wasn't that far away from the forest, so it would take him only a minute or two.

Sasuke had hoped that he could sneak through his window but remembered that he had locked it this morning. 'So much for that idea…'

When he walked through the front door, Fugaku was waiting for him. "Where the hell have to been?! You've been gone for hours!"

Sasuke hadn't even thought of an excuse and there was no way he could tell his parent he was in Kyuubi's Forest. With their previous argument, he was already walking on thin ice.

"…"

"Answer me!"

"…I fell asleep… somewhere…" Maybe a partial excuse would save him.

"Where?" Damn…

"Somewhere." Sasuke repeated and gave his father a defiant look. His father's onyx eyes closed as he walked past him.

"Go to you're room and stay there. I've moved the wedding date up to tomorrow." Fugaku finished and he left Sasuke standing there.

'No…' The raven kept his mouth shut and did as he was told.

'No…' he closed the door and walked over to his dresser.

'I'm not…' he threw some clothes into a backpack.

"I refuse…" Sasuke mumbled and opened his window, but looked back at his door, "…to marry her."

Sasuke jumped out the window. He didn't take anything that associated with his family and ran towards Kyuubi's forest.
