《Inner Demons》One Loyal Friend Is Worth Ten Thousand Relatives
Advertisement
The first thing I noticed was the shattered window shards, the way they glistened and twinkled, thrown like a shower of crystals. The second thing I noticed was a Jounin's mischievous smile melting into a frown, eyes pointing into a familiar direction. The third thing I noticed was Naruto, curled up into a ball, quivering.
My legs pulled me forward, pushing past bewildered students before crouching down next to my trembling friend. His eyes latched onto mine, foggy, watery and laced with trepidation. I resisted the urge to embrace him, knowing his current state wouldn't handle it sufficiently.
"Can I touch you?" My voice remained unwavering, despite the waves that crashed and churned within me. I tried not to let my heart drop at the sight of his frantically shaken head. Instead, I continued to pull through. "Okay, please follow my count with your breathing, you've got this."
I softly counted, willing myself to not let this faux-confidence break, to not let the dam walls break at the sight of seeing my friend in such pain.
Then, Naruto's breathing begins to even. Like a parting of clouds to reveal the awaited sun, I felt the rain within my heart cease to fall. I continued, watching as Naruto's eyes began to clear, watching his trembling return to a steady rise and fall of his chest. His bedazzling cerulean eyes looked up to me, a slight tug on his lips as he whispered, "Thank you TenTen."
I merely smiled back, relieved to see my friends eyes revert to their lazuline tone.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!" The screech rang throughout their surroundings, resulting in eyes swivelling to gaze at a fuming Sakura.
Author's Note: Sorry for the extremely short chapter, I'll try and write again soon. Also, TenTen is a girlboss and none of you can tell me otherwise (she's f***ing awesome!)
