Yay, Chapter 4!

To say Minato was shocked would be an understatement. His mouth hung ajar, his eyes opened wide.

Naruto let the golden strand of hair slip through his quivering fingers as he stood up shakily.

"Kyuuubbbiii," a small smile appeared on his face," look who's hereeeee."

His eyes were scanning the two men in front of him, every few seconds he would twitch violently.

'I-I...'

Sarutobi stood closer to Minato, equally shocked.

"What's wrong with this kid?" Minato murmured, turning his gaze to the old man.

Naruto just watched their faces closely, watching the fear in their eyes.

'...hate them...'

"Hmm..." he trailed off, "Where did you go?"

"Naruto, we ar-" The Hokage tried to reach out to the boy but was frozen to the spot when he looked into the child's eyes.

"I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU!" He spat out. His frame was shaking violently now, his breathing labored.

'They are so..stupid.'

He lifted his arms so they were wrapped around his body tightly.

'I have you..'

He slowly began to walk around the room, looking at all the pictures and walls around him.

He stopped in front of a large mirror towards the back of the room by the desk and froze up.

"What's up with him Sarutobi?" Minato looked at his old friend. He couldn't believe the amount of worry he felt for this one kid.

Sarutobi shook his slowly, "I've no idea. It's never been this bad before Minato, I don't know what to do, damnit!"

'Why is this happening!' The old man looked over to Kyuubi and was shocked to see he looked just as confused as them.

They returned their gaze to Naruto, who was staring intensely at the mirror.

He ran his fingers through golden locks slowly, gently. That's what the voice was always telling him to do. Gentle. Be gentle.

He broke out of his trance as he studied the face looking back at him.

'I have you..'

The sound of Naruto's sorrowful laughter filled the room, suffocating them.

Everyone ran to his side as he fell to the wooden floor pulling his hair and scratching at his sides roughly.

'Gentle.'

Tears were streaming down his whisker marked cheeks as he continued laughing at nothing.

'Screw gentle.'

Slowly the crazed laughter died down and he was left lying on his back looking up at the faces.

'Where are you?'

The smile that was previously on his face turned to a frown.

"Where are you?!" He shouted out. Tears were still running down his face, but his eyes were stone cold with no emotion showing through.

"W-who are you talking about?" Minato asked softly. He was squeezing his hands together, a habit he picked up whenever he was nervous.

ME. Kyuubi put his nose to the side of Naruto's head.

I'VE BEEN OUTSIDE HIS HEAD FOR TO LONG, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HIS 'VOICE' IS.

"Kura-" Sarutobi started.

THAT NAME IS ONLY FOR MY HOST TO SPEAK. He growled out.

The old man murmured an apology before asking what he ment earlier.

Kurama looked at the broken boys face, his gaze softening.

WHEN NARUTO WAS YOUNGER AND THE VILLAGERS..YOU KNOW...

"What?" Minato spoke up confused.

The fox spirit stiffened slightly at the question.

WHEN HE WAS BEAT AND TORTURED BY THEM...

Minato's face fell. 'What?'

HE WAS STARTING TO LOSE IT SO I DID WHAT I COULD TO KEEP HIM FROM BREAKING COMPLETELY. I BECAME THE VOICE IN HIS HEAD THAT WOULD COMPLEMENT HIM AND GIVE HIM SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT HIS TROUBLES AND WORRIES. I WAS THE ONE THING THAT KEPT HIM SANE THROUGH THE FUCKING HELL HE HAD TO GO THROUGH.

Naruto was starting to blink, waking up from whatever trance he was in.

Kyuubi looked back to the two depressed men before returning to Naruto's head.

'I'M HERE FOR YOU DAMN BRAT, ALWAYS'

Sorry for the slow update! I was actually going to update last week but being the idiot that I am, I erased the whole thing.

Yep.

Well, I was pretty sad about that, and walked away for a while, but here it is!
