Ellen: Hi everyone~ I've been thinking about writing a Naruto fanfic for a while now, so I hope you're gonna like it. It is before he met Zabusa and Haku at the great Naruto bridge, but I will maybe write another fanfic about it later... So! This is a Twoshot. Now on with the story~

~A song for the broken angel~

With Naruto

Naruto was walking towards the training area, smiling at the villagers even thought most of them just glared back. Humming a soft tune as he saw Sakura standing by the railing, he jogged up to her. "Hi, Sakura!~" he said in a singsong voice, and Sakura looked surpriced at him. "Wha? Have you finally started to get a sore throat from all the screaming?" she replied, looking annoyed as usuall. For a moment she thought she saw a look of hurt across his face, but as she looked at him again there was no sign of it. "Of course not, that idiot don't know anything about pain!" inner Sakura snorted. Suddenly a small 'poff' was heard as their teacher, Kakashi, appeared before them.

"Sensei! You're late!" Sakura screamed at him, and everyone looked towards the quiet Naruto with confused faces. "Dobe, what's wrong with your voice?" Sasuke asked, his voice empty of any emotion. "Nothing~" Naruto said, his happy mask almost fooling everyone but they didn't ask any more than that, thinking that everything would go back to normal. How wrong they where, no one noticed as Naruto slowly died inside as they didn't try to show that they cared.

The next day Naruto came he saw Sakura crying alone on the bridge, so he walked over to her. "Sakura?...What's wrong?" he asked her, but she just shoved him away. "Leave me alone you baka!" she screamed at him, and he backed away a few steps in shock before sitting down in front of her. "Why do you cry, Sakura? What made you so sad?" he wispered to her, "Why do you care? You don't know anything about being hurt!" she snapped at him, but he just stood there. "Go away" she said, and Naruto slowly stood up. "I know more than you think..." he said to her, before dissapearing without any poof of smoke, the wind didn't stir at all. The only thing that proved that he'd been there, was a small but beatiful golden feather. But Sakura didn't care, why would she care about that carefree idiot? He didn't know anything...

Naruto appeared the Hokage mountain, standing on the Yondaime's head. If any of his friends had seen him, they wouldn't even recognise him with his serious face. They thought they knew everything about him, but there was only two persons who knew who he really where: Hinata and the Sandaime. He sighed as he looked up at the birds flying in the light blue sky, and wished that he could fly too. But he knew that it wasn't possible, he was just a jinchuuriki, there was no way that someone so un-pure could be able to do that... He slowly lifted his head once again, he hadn't even realised that he looked down to the ground, and closed his eyes as he listened to the birds song. Suddenly the sound of a piano could be heard, and he opened his eyes as he sarted singing:

I dream of flying in the blue sky,

wishing that I could have wings,

but why would a demon's wish come true?

After all, I'm just a demon, right?

Why couldn't I have become something else?

Something that could protect those I hold dear-

He stopped as he could heard footsteps, and hastily ran down the mountain.

With Sakura:

Sakura fellt furious, she had been hoping that Sasuke would make her feel better and the only thing Sasuke and their lasy teacher, Kakashi, noticed was that Naruto wasn't there. It didn't look like he would come either... Maybe she had been to hard on him? "No! That baka deserved it, it's his fault that Sasuke won't even notice me!" inner Sakura screamed. Suddenly a beautiful yet sad song could be heard, and the pink haired kunoichi started walking towards the voice. She could hear the song getting louder, and louder, until she accidentally stepped at a branch littering on the ground. As she did that, the song stopped and when she barely saw someone with golden hair dissapear over the edge of the mountain. The only thing left from where the person had been standing, was a beatiful golden feather.

Next day

With Naruto:

Naruto walked towards the training field, his mind far away. Today was October the tenth, his birthday... Oh, he hated his birthday with passion. When normal kid got cake and delicous food, he got cake. When normal kids got presents, he got beaten up. But now he at least knew why, "After all, who could love a demon?" he wispered to himself, to low for anyone to hear. Naruto put on his usual smile as he walked the last bit, he didn't want his comrades to worry about him, they got enough to worry about already.

"Good morning!" he said to his teammates, and they both turned around. Sakura scowled at him, "Where have you been?" she asked with venom in her voice. "Thanks to you, Sasuke missed out on training!" she almost screamed at him, and Naruto stopped smiling, a sad look taking it's place instead. Sheapishly, he scratched the back of his head. "I'm sorry, Haruno-san" he said, and Sakura flinched as he didn't call her by her first name, he didn't even use '-chan'! "Whatever, you better apologise to Sasuke" she said, still a little bit angry at him. Sasuke just stood there, looking at nothing in particular. After a few minutes Kakashi showed up, Sakura screamed at him for being late and Kakashi let Naruto spar with Sakura while he spared with Sasuke. The three hours went by quickly and soon the sun started to go down.

"So that's it for today, good job Sasuke" Kakashi said as he read his book, not noticing that Naruto's frown. "Yatta!You're so amazing Sasuke!" Sakura squeled, and Naruto felt another part of his soul fall apart. Kakashi dissapeared in a puff of smoke and the trio turned and walked towards the village, Sakura clinging onto Sasuke's arm while Naruto walked a little behind his 'friends'. Suddenly Naruto felt the killing intent from the village, and decided to not go back.

"I gotta go, see you guy's tommorrow!" he said to the other two. Sakura turned to him, a pussled look on her face. "But aren't you going to the festival with us?" Sakura asked, and he flinched on the inside. "Ah, no... I'm sorry, but we can go together next year" he told them, before he ran towards the mountain. Sakura shrugged before once again walking towards the festival with Sasuke.

As Naruto arrived he could see that somone or some people had trashed his apartment, even when he was so far away. He sighed as he sat down on the yondaime's head, still looking over the village. His entire body hurt, but he didn't care, thinking that it was nothing. His head turned upwards, and he could see a big, fiery red bird flying over the sky. It almost looked like it was on fire, and it shone slightly... "Whait, shining bird?" he said to himself, and the bird looked towards him. A warm feeling spread through him, and as if on instinct, he took a few steps closer the edge. The bird flew closer to him, and soon it landed right in front of him. At first he just stood there, staring at the mystic bird, but then he slowly moved forward with his hand outstreched towards the bird. It made a purring sound as he got closer, and soon he touched it slightly on it's beak. The warm light grew stronger, and he to bathed in the light, as if he got the ability to shine just like it. "Wow... such beatiful wings..." he wispered to himself, but the bird seemed to have heard him, because suddenly it began to talk. "Do you wish to fly? To be free in the sky?" the bird said, and he couldn't help but to nod in astonishment. "Then I, Kasai of the Phoenix clan, shall give you wings" she said and with her beak she lightly touched his forehead. He closed his eyes as a feeling of safety washed over him, when he opened them again he saw a small girl, probably only ten years old, standing in front of him. Her hair was a fiery red, and she was wearing an simple, orange dress with red feathers decorating it. "I will come for you by midnight, you are now one of the Phoenix clan, brother" she said before dissapearing in a swearl of feathers. He just stood there, the warm light slowly fading from him.

"Naruto?" he heard a familiar voice say, and he turned around to see Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi and behind a tree, Hinata. He smiled. Not a toothy smile like he used to, but a gentle and true one. "What was with that glow?" Sakura asked, and she didn't look too happy. "His smile dissapeared and was replaced with a small frown. "How much did you see?" he asked her seriously, and she snorted. "We just got here, you baka" she answered, annoyed. "You must have been seeing things, Haruno-san" he said as he calmly walked past his team and over to Hinata. "Hi, Hina-chan. What are you doing here?" he asked her softly, and her blush grew deeper at the '-chan'. "I-I w-was looking f-for you" she said while twirling with her fingers. "I love you, Naruto-kun!" she suddenly blurted out, and everyone except Naruto gasped. "I love you too, Hina-chan" he said happily and hugged her. "Just wished I had realised that sooner" he sighed sadly, "I'm adopted, and I will move far away..." he told her. "Then I follow you!" she said, she was absolutely not gonna lose him now. "Kasai-nee will pick me up at midnight, we could ask her then" he said, and Hinata smiled warmly at him as she nodded. "Hey! Don't talk like we aren't here!" Sakura yelled, but Naruto didn't care instead he turned to Kakashi. "I quit team seven, I won't be a ninja anymore" Naruto said calmly, and even Sasuke gasped. "Oh, I see" Kakashi said, not even surpriced the slightest bit. Naruto took one last look at his team before walking away with Hinata, who was blushing but had a happy smile on her face.
