Naruto is afraid.
He has no idea what they will do, for he may be the most unpredictable ninja, but he by no means is able to predict every other person.
They are special to him. Precious.
He lives for them.
He would, probably more so then not, die for them
And he is vary aware how easily his nindo could be turned on him.
He knows he depends on these people to function, To Live. It's a vary, vary stupid way to live, hes been told, because when these people cease to exist, he will surly be dragged down with them… Even when his body continues to breath.
He has seen what it is like to be truly alone. He has lived most of his life through it, and he for one had no intentions to go through it again.
So the idea of his precious people leaving him, and his return to that former life that reminded him so much of hell, truly, deeply, terrifies him.
More so then the Kyuubi's taunts, Orochimaru's power and even Sasukes own betrayal, his want to see his 'brother' dead.
These people are all he has left keeping him sane. They make him want to smile. They liked seeing him smile. Naruto would give these people the world if he could, but for now, he settles with his smile.
So when he starts to get that they know he is not right.
That there is something so, terribly wrong with him.
He knows. He knows he will not be able to hide behind that grin anymore. He knows they will demand, they will fear, cry, scream and inevitably leave…
Leaving him so terribly alone all over again.
But he loves them, and he can never turn them away.
So he sits and waits for them to find him like he told them.
A grin all ready set and waiting to be seen…cause this may be the last smile he'll shed.
Just for them.

Ah, the cheesyness
Forgot to put this at top, but Naruto is not mine (will not attempt to spell mans name)
Only thing that is mine is the time I took out of my sleep to write the stupid thing…
Meh, could use some more work, but ill fix that later on when I get some people flames…
