'It's decided… for love… blood shall shed…'
Chapter 1: Desperation…
On a Wednesday night with the moon full, a slumbering entity shall rise at the school pool. It was so surreptitious that it serves one man at a time. But in exchange, one shall offer sacrifices for the demonic spirit… dead people. The number of dead bodies shall correspond to the number of letters of the desired lover's full name…
It sounded absurd and hilarious as it was spread through rumors and the Net. No one in the open believed about the tale of the school pool… but there are those who dared. But those were never known by the public. All offerings were made in Wednesday midnights and most of them were done within the school premises. There are those who were blessed… and those who failed. But they were nameless… and were never arrested for killing selected people by the entity itself. Selected people exhibits scars depicting the roman letters of the desired lover's name, first name first. Their bodies were also hidden away by the entity…
No matter how ridiculous this sounded… Uzumaki Naruto shall test his fate to make his wish come true… true love of a girl named Haruno Sakura…
…
The class has ended and everyone was trying to grab some chow and girls. However, not all of them only want them for fun. Just like Uzumaki Naruto, senior. He was just a member of the so-much loved Soccer club, Mido Shishi (short for Midori no Shishi or Green Lions…). The team is renowned for the fast members and wind-like shots they do and the king of the regionals. Not just for the talent but also adored for the face of the best goalkeeper in the universe, Uchiha Sasuke. Back to Naruto, he's just a sub and he was always belittled by many.
On the other hand, Haruno Sakura is the leader of the also competitive Haru Widelias, Konoha Junior High's pep squad. She was adored by many and most guys have guts for her. And our little blond here is one of her suitors. But mostly expected in cheerleaders, they love the ace players of the team. Sakura is one of Sasuke's fan girls and he's every inspiration she had. Sadly for Naruto, things wouldn't be working well for him even they were classmates.
His life started sucking up when he entered sixth grade. Naruto lost his dad and his mom grew crazy ever since. She even started threatening people and attempted to kill each and every one of them. She was talking to herself but greatly insisted that her husband was there. She grew very ill and Naruto had no choice but to lock her at a mental hospital… or else she'll kill him for sure. He also had it bad with his soccer dreams and academic standings. His only hope to live is Sakura but there's no way she'll even date him. He was helpless…and that gave him the impulse about committing one deadly act…
…
It was late night and he was still browsing the Net. He was trying to look for online potion recipes for making one fall in love with him. He burned mostly eight hours in front of the computer after coming home by five. He was so serious that he even forgot about eating dinner. Getting a hint of hopeless, he stopped on his seat and stretched a little. Then he leaned boredly at his left arm as his right browse through the pages…!
He was caught by the the thing he saw at the computer. It had a pilot topic of 'Having the heart of your unrequited love'. He quickly opened it and there came a creepy site of entityschoolpool. com. He wondered about it and read through.
The school mentioned was the Konoha Junior High. Few reviews were registered so that would mean that only a few knew. He signed up and joined the chatroom. He was reading the comments and the topic was… Did you do the entity deal? Most said no but he replied… he's planning…
In one comment, he became the center of the talk. He was just a newcomer and yet. But he didn't answer back the questions and logged out. He also cut his membership and he kept a copy of the directions. He murmured, "In four days, the moon will be full… at Wednesday. Sakura-chan… finally, you'll be mine…"
…
The sky was still dark and the clouds were not visible yet. It was dawn and most entities were still deep in their slumber. However, there was someone who was sitting at his bed, frightened and trembling… But he was trying to stop himself from collapsing. He hadn't slept in three nights knowing that Full Moon was fastly approaching. He was mostly used to it since every time Full Moon comes, a week before he was getting all paranoid. But this feeling was way too far from the normal. He had the sense that someone will be performing an offering to the Great Entity the coming day. He used to be able to hide his tremblings but this time was different.
The heater was in maximum and the room was closed. But he had his breathe so visible like when one was out on winter days. His fingers were jerking and his eyes were twitching though they were shut tightly. His lips were shaking and he was trying to breathe normally. He muttered under his misty breath, "Don't do this… please…"
…
Morning crawled in and everything was normal… but Naruto was in the mood to try asking Sakura out again. His toes readied walking. He bounced a little to cool down and here he goes. He walked to the pinkie's chair, "Sa-Sakura-san?"
"What is it, Uzumaki?" she said with a polite face but her tone was suggesting rather irritation. He was halted but he exhaled discreetly and continued, "Are… are you free today?"
She eyed at him… then she said, "Yea. Why?"
"I was wondering if… you could come with me at the mall today." He was trying all the luck he had. Then her eyes shifted from him to the doorway. She mumbled, "This's odd… Sasuke-kun must be here by now."
His eyes went so sharp that Sakura noticed it. She flung her head but then he had his original eyes on. She scowled at him, "Did you just glare at me?"
"No… why should I?" came the simple answer. She tilted her head to the side with her leaf eyes pinned at him. He felt something he shouldn't… fear. She was staring at him coldly and then she said, "I'm not going with you. I'm waiting for some—" she was halted when Ino, her bestfriend ran to the door from the outside, "Sakura! Hurry! You got'ta see this!"
Not just Sakura but those who were there went to look. But Ino groaned in annoyance, "Sakura is the only one I called! Don't follow us!" Then the two cheerleaders ran away. Naruto was there… standing stupid. Sakura didn't even care to say goodbye for they were talking and she was glaring at him the whole time. He dropped his head… "Sakura-chan…"
…
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura and Ino arrived at infirmary. Sasuke just collapsed and was bedridden since the lunchtime. He was still asleep when the girls came. A red-head was there and three brunettes. A brunette named Karui said, "The soccer players just left. I, as the manager, gotta be staying. Seriously, Sasuke, what happened to you?"
"He's gonna be fine, right?" the red head said, "I know Sasuke's strong." Then Sakura turned to Ino, "Why do you made it sound like a funny thing? You—"
"If I did then the whole school will roar." The blonde replied enough to justify her action. And then she said, "And that guy… he's dangerous…"
"I know that." Then Karui said, "It'll be fine. You don't have to worry about him. You should better head home. I'm in charge here so please…" Sakura said, "Seriously, I don't trust you." Karui twitched and said, "Look. I don't care 'bout your sentiments as Sasuke's fan girls but if you won't leave…"
"Karui?" a soft voice said. They all turned and Sasuke's awake. Karui helped him sat up and the girls squealed, "Sasuke (-kun)!"
Sasame, one of the other two brunettes, said, "It's good your awake now. You made us so worried." Then TenTen, the mystery brunette, said, "So what are you up to?"
"Yeah, what are you up to? Collapsing like that. Geez, Sasuke, it should be tolerable. I'm concerned about your health so what's wrong?" Karui went and the girls fired questions like a HMG. Sasuke did was to sigh…
…
The remaining three days fastly passed by. It was already Wednesday and he'll be seeing the Great Entity. He was preparing for the offering. Things will get stirred up sooner but he doesn't care. All he had to do is to kill twelve people with the Alpha scars, how those scars were called in the site, and he's done. This would be a deadly act and yet he dared to do this in the name of love. He was so desperate and all he can do is to go with this.
He was in front of the school pool. He was holding a candle and he was waiting for midnight. Then the atmosphere started to get rough on him. But his will power prevailed and in three counts, the Great Entity shall rise.
3… 2… 1…
Midnight came and a blob like shadow rose from the pool. Naruto got sat down at his ass and was amazed by this. At the same time, he was scared… the shadow said, "Whom do thee wish my magic work on? Thou shalt know the exchange for thy request…"
"I know… and I'm ready…" he stood up and the shadow grinned…
…
Phew… Naruto as villain… wow…
Hahahaha! But there's no hero in here…
But there's only the main protagonist… Naruto…
Naruto ventured into the darkness…
(Just like how Sasuke did in the manga and anime… hehe…)
Thanks for reading!
