*First person pov*

"Soo.... uh... what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked Naruto. Naruto looked down in shame. "I... I am so sorry Ciel...." Naruto said, remorse clear in his voice. "Hey, it's fine. I'm here right now and fin-" "No, it's not fine! What if Nagato didn't revive you!? You would have been dead!! There are no second chances at life!!" Naruto cuts me off, yelling. "You know... I wouldn't mind being killed off by you... I am supposed to be your bodyguard so it wouldn't even matter to me or you." I said, smiling softly. "It matters to me!! You're my best friend, my first friend! I don't know what I would have done if you died... or what would have happened.... Please, don't say anything like that again..." Naruto said, pleading look in his eyes. "O..kay then." I said, rubbing the back of my head. There was an awkward silence. What do you expect, that we just disregard the fact Naruto once killed me and have a normal conversation? "Hey... Ciel... do you hate me?" Naruto asked, not looking at me in the eyes. "No, why?" I asked him. "Well.... Keiko said some pretty mean stuff... and told me how much you hated me..." Naruto said, look up to glance at me every now and then. "Oh silly you! I wouldn't hate my little boo boo bear!" I said as I hugged him and pinched his sore cheeks... on purpose muwahahaha. "Ow! That hurts!" Naruto said as he pulled away and held his cheek, then looked at me angrily. "Ciel! I am trying to have a serious conversation here! Stop messing around! This is serious, how can you joke around!?" Naruto yelled, and I laughed. "Sorry... Sorry.... I really wanted to lighten up the mood. But in all Seriousness, I would never hate you Naruto, even if you did a bad thing. Hell, I wouldn't even hate you if killed me... but I'll still scare the fuck out of you as a ghost, that's for sure." I said, snickering and Naruto groaned. "You're still not serious! This is not a joke! I killed you!! How can you be so calm!? Why did you forgive me!? Yell at me already!! Stab me!! Do... Do something! I don't deserve to be forgiven!" Naruto yelled, and I realize he was actually really serious. Well, I did know but I didn't take it too serious because he may have been overreacting. "Ciel... Tell me... if you don't hate me... are you scared of me? Hate and scared means two different things." Naruto asked me. "What? I'm not scar-" I cut myself of when the memory of Naruto tearing me apart comes back. I swallow shakily and sweat forms on my face. "I-I'm not scared.... I'm n-not..." I assured Naruto, but I feel like I was assuring myself more than Naruto. "Ciel...?" Naruto asked me as he reaches out to me. My breathing was erratic, and I put my hand over my mouth to see if I can control my breathing but of course, it wouldn't work. It doesn't work like that. Naruto falters and brings his arm back down. "I... I'm sorry.... It's fine you hate me... I don't deserve a friend like you after what I've done... I hurt Sakura-chan... then I hurt you, twice.... Maybe I should just let Danzo lock me up..." Naruto said, looking down. My breathing stopped and I got up, looking angrily at Naruto. "Don't say that! I don't hate you... but I'm just a little bit afraid! It's only some trauma, who wouldn't have trauma after being killed by your best friend!? I just need some time to recover! Don't you dare think for a minute that I've hated you! You're so stupid Naruto!" I yelled at him, having the sudden urge to punch him in the face. But, he's been punched enough by Karui. "I don't want hurt you anymore, or anybody else!" Naruto yelled, matching the level of yelling. "You won't! Yamato will make sure you won't hurt anyone in that kyuubi mode, and so will I! As a bodyguard, I will make sure you will not go out of control and get injured! That's a fact!!" I yelled, anime tick marks appearing on my head. "What if you die doing it!?" And right then and there folks, I just slapped him. "Dude, you need to shut the fuck up. I won't, okay!? I still got a lot of things I need to do, and I won't die until it's done!" I shouted, angry at Naruto of course. Naruto held his very sore cheek and bit his lip. "I'm sorry..." Naruto trailed off as he looked down at his bed sheets ashamed. I sighed and sat back down on the floor again. "It's fine...." I said as reached up to his face to check if he was okay, I did slap him. I flinched when my hand made contact with his face... I guess you can say I was afraid. I ignored my fear and rubbed his cheek soothingly. His cheek was already so cut up, from Karui. "I'm sorry I slapped you... did it hurt?" I asked him as I applied wind dragon slayer magic on his wounds. "You have no idea." Naruto said, trying to joke around but his facial expression didn't change. "Hehe, I'm sorry... That was uncalled for. Now, let's stop talking about this depressing shit and move on. What are you going to tell the Raikage? Take my word Naruto from experience, the Raikage is stubborn as fuck. Once his mind is set, there's nothing you can do to stop him. And try to stop him, he'll go apeshit." I told Naruto and I saw the confidence drain from his face. "But Naruto... I think you can do it. I don't know if you knew or not but you have such a special gift... I don't know how to explain it but you can change people's minds in an instant... just like with Nagato, right? I believe you can do it." I said, smiling at him and he grinned back. I heard the tent open. "Ciel... you need to get out here." I heard a voice said, I recognized it to be Keiko's voice. "I'm coming... I'll come see ya later Naruto." I said as I stood up and waved to Naruto. I walked outside to find Keiko and Neji standing in front of two anbu. "What's going on?" I asked seriously, crossing my arms. Keiko and Neji looked at each other then back at me. "It's about Fiore village." Neji said and I raised an eyebrow. "Fiore village... That's a name I hadn't heard in awhile... what about that village?" I mused. One of the anbus stepped up, he had a bird mask... so I'm going to call him Tori. "Right after your mission from Fiore village we were demanded to investigate the place and the history of the village. Are you guys prepared for the news?" Tori asked us and we all nodded. The other anbu pulled out a scroll, he had a racoon mask. I forgot what raccoon was in japanese, so let's just call him coon. "From what we discovered, all the villagers were using the orphans for their housework. There was at least one orphan in each home, where they worked to hours on end. All the villagers were arrested and the village is now abandoned. But, that's not it. What lies in Hisui E. Fiore's home is more horrifying." Coon said as he read his report. I swallow, wondering what a little girl like her could have done to make it into report even after she died. "Are you prepared to hear her crimes?" Tori asked us, making sure. Keiko nodded unsure, while me and Neji were just wanted to hear what they had to say. "Hisui E. Fiore could be considered to be the most evil child in history. What we found in the uppermost level of her mansion was full of 90 bodies of mutilated orphaned children of different ages. Limbs amputated, limbs stretched until it tore off, stomach opened with the entrails spilling out, genitalia removed in the most brutal way. Some of them had their eyes sewed shut, while the rest was gouged out. Mouths were sewn shut too, but most of them just had their tongues removed." Tori said, then the visible skin on his body starts to pale, along with Coon. "There.... There was a dresser in the very back... We opened the drawer... that dresser... Oh god... there were so many babies... so many fetuses... All of them had their skulls smashed in and bits of brains everywhere..... And there was a fucking eyeball... Staring at me.. Judging me... oh god..." Coon said, shaking a little. Keiko runs off to the side, covering her mouth and starts puking. I started to shake, only one thought going through my mind. That would have been Romeo if we didn't get there in time... Neji put a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it. It seems like he was afraid too. "We came here to tell you this because you deserved to know this and we were ordered to. Goodbye." Tori said and they teleported out of there. I walked over to Keiko and rubbed her tiny furry back. "A-Are you okay?" I asked her, stuttering a little since I was still shaken up by the news. "Yeah... I-I'm fine..." Keiko said as she stood up. "I knew Hisui was evil... but I didn't know she was THAT evil... Smashing baby's skulls in...? That's horrible..." Neji said and I darted my eyes up at the sky, which was getting cloudy. "Life's horrible."
