I'm Not Alone Anymore

chapter 5

Kurama's pov.

I am back to Naru's mind-space. I noticed that Naru has not yet woken up, so I decided to do what father said, check his health. I spread my chakara throughout his body and waited to feel something out of ordinary.
Everything seems to be normal at first but when I was checking his brain area there seems to be some problems. I focused my chakara more there. My heart almost broke at what I found. His brain was not functioning properly. How did I not noticed it before. I tried to find the cause of it. And as I predicted naru's brain is not handling it well because of the repeated head injuries and other hard impacts. There was nothing I could do. It was too late.
'Some mighty beast I am, I didn't even notice such a small thing. If only I had noticed it before I could have found a way to save him' with a heavy heart I concentrated my chakara to other places.
Everything was a mess. Because his brain is not working as it should his other organs are like they will shut down any moment. For the first time in my life I was scared. I was scared of how Naru will react to this. I was scared for him how long will he live.
With my healing chakara and his uzumaki blood Naru had almost only a year more left. After that even with my help I won't be able to help him.
I was deep in my thoughts 'how can such a pure and beautiful soul suffer so much. He don't deserve any of this. He haven't even started living his life. It's not fair'. It was at this moment I realised how powerless I was. It was all because of me if only I was strong enough all of this would have never happened.
I was brought back from my thoughts when I noticed Naru was waking up. So I waited I didn't had to wait long naru was up within 15 minutes. "Good morning kit how was your sleep" "It was okey. Better than any of the once that I had it was warm and I felt safe for the first time when sleeping" he said with a small smile I gave him a warm smile too. After a small chat he got up to get ready it was nothing much he brushed his teeth washed his face changed his cloth and he was done. Then he sneaked downstairs. Avoiding any kind of noise. But I thing that spawns of Satan had other thoughts in mind "Oh look what we have here the demon is sneaking around" it was that eldest blonde child naru's 'big brother' he was too loud that it attracted the other spawn "urgh do I have to see you first thing in the morning you just ruined my day MOMMMYYYYYYY THE DEMON HAS RUINED MY DAY" this time it was the girl naru's 'younger sister' OMG does this thing not lose this voice how can it scream soo loudly. As if on que the evil devil itself showed up her hair was flying in different directions 'what even is she is this thing even human' I thought.
Then that excuse of a mother slaped my naru and pushed him down he lost his balance and fall and hit his head hard on the side wall causing blood to come out. Oh how I wish I could just tear them into pieces but I couldn't do anything it will only cause naru more provlems. Naru was silent the whole time "look now you dirtied my house get out of here you ungrateful demon you are ruining my children's morning" the audacity of this woman. Naru didn't need to be told twice he ran out of the house fast and ran into the forest. I wish I could take you away naru but it is too late now I can only wait for my father to help you now. I am sorry.
Naru ran into the forest of death I think that's what the call it well whatever he is more safe here than in the village itself. Then he sat near a tree and drifted to sleep and I thought this was the perfect time 'it's now or never' with that I pulled Naru into his mind-space and rested him on one of my tails and waited for him to wake up.
He woke up after some times and said "Kura-nii is that you where are we and what are you doing here?" "Yes kit it's me. We are in your mind-space I thought you already noticed we are in your mind" I said. "Oh silly me hehe" he giggled. He looked happy Oh how I wish I could keep him like this. But I have to do this. I have to brake the news to him.
I smiled warmly at him then I turned serious "Naruto I want you to listen to me very carefully okey" he looked at me with curiosity at this he knew when I called him naruto, I want to speak something important, he nodded giving me a sign that he was listening, I don't know how I am going to tell this child but nonetheless I continued "Naru a human body works in a very complex manner its magnificent the brain is the one that controls everything in a human body" that's right I choose a scientific way Idc I want him to understand the seriousness of the situation and understand it. After noting he was listening I gulped and continued "if the brain doesn't not work properly then the smaller organs in the body will not be able to work properly too and this may become life threatening" I don't know if a small child like him can understand this things but anyways he nodded his head so continued "now as to why I am telling you all this *I gulped and looked straight into his eyes* I ran my chakara through your body when you were sleeping and found that yourbrain was not working as it should I am sorry naru-chanI did everythingin my ability to heal it but I couldn't I am not strong enough as I was before to help you with that". I finished and waited for his response but none came. I was getting worried. He was just staring at me. What is he thinking. Did he understand anything I said ofcause not how can a child understand such big things I should probably rewrite my name from the might nine tails to stupid nine tails. Then naru spoke "does that mean I am going to die" i couldn't say anything so I just nodded my head and looked at him with a sad smile I was expecting tears but instead he continued speaking what he said made me lost of words not in a good way.
"That means it's a good thing right? Me dying will relieve many people expecially my family. They do not have to keep up with the demon anymore right. I am not sad but what about you will you also die if I die. I don't want that I want you to live to be free" he was tearing up then tears started to drip one-by-one I just stared at him in disbelief this child is sad not because he is going to die but for me. This world is too cruel for this child. I wiped his tears away and said "how stupidare you naru crying for a evil monster like me when I just said that you are going to die" "I am not stupid and you are not evil either you are the kindest of them all you said and treat me like someone important even after knowing I took away your freedom" OK this child is stupider than I thought "listenhere my stupid naru I love you more than anything in this world and I promised I will protect you no matter what but I guess I was a little late and never thinkthat you were the one who took away my freedom it was the power hungery mortals that sealed me in you out of all my jailers I like you the most and if I am given a choice between freedomand staying with you I will choose you without hesitation" at this point naru was full on crying "why. Why would you want to stay with me I will only cause you pain" I sighed brought him closer nuzzled my nose to him "like I said kit I love you you are presouious to me and if it makes you feel batter then I will tell you something we tail beast don't die we are made from pure chakara so when our host I dies we get freed if we have enough chakara and do the correct hindsight thats why you don't have to worry about me and that doesn'tmean I will let you die too" after I said it I can feel that he seems to calm a little.
Bit no matter what I know that naru was scared and heartbroken with the news he was still crying. I don't know how to console a crying person let alone a child so I just did what I thought will help I let him snuggle closer to me rubbing lightly with my tail and whispered sweet nothings to him. Then he calmed down and drifted to sleep. I was relieved. 'How cruel and unfair it is but I think that what you call reality'.
