Disappear
The forest floor smelled like pine needles, and moist moss. The rain from the night before seemed to bring out more of those smells, it brought more green and more life to this quite land of tall conifer. A figure stood at the bottom of one of the larger trees, pondering how far could he see if he were at the top, but his expression only showed boredom. His hair was like the fine feathers of a raven, and his eyes, the colour of night in the winter.
"Sasuke," the voice was quite not really a whisper but more the man didn't want to put to much effort into speaking. "The village gathering is going to start soon." The man turned to leave, but Sasuke's hand rose up in a signal to stay. "Shikamaru, you have been a friend to me for many years, we grew up together." Shikamaru sighed he didn't know when Sasuke started to see him as a friend, as far as he knew, the raven hated him till only a few months back. " Do you ever wonder whats out there?" Sasuke turned to face the taller man, his eyes looking blank at first glance, but looking closely being able to see so many emotions bottled up. "Don't you ever think that theres more to life then this land we live on?" If Shikamaru were anyone different he would have thought Sasuke had gone insane, but being who he was Shikamaru actually thought those things too, even though thoughts about ever leaving were never in the quite man's mind. He sighed and glanced up in between the greens of swaying trees, there must be a breeze up there, even though the forest floor was well sheltered. "Sasuke have you ever wondered why we were given the nicknames we have?" He glanced at the man from the courner of his eye, his head still tilted up. The man's face showed no sign of listening but, Shikamaru knew the he was. "They have something to do with the spirits, the ones who protected us." He turned to face the man and walked towards him, gently placing his hand on the other's shoulder. "Your spirit guardian happens to be a difficult one to live with, most have wondered how anyone would want to live with it." Shikamaru was hesitant for a moment. Judging how far he could take this before going to far. "But it seems that for you it is perfect." Sasuke's eyes flickered with anger as he shot a glare at the taller man, this was the look the lazy man was used to. "For you the messenger of death is a good guardian." Sasuke slapped the hand away from his shoulder, and grabbed hold of the other man's throat. "How dare you!" His anger showing fully in his face now, his body tremble with it, his fist clenched around the soft flesh, and his eyes seemed to turn a crimson red. He pushed Shikamaru's body into the nearest tree, the older man was to calm for someone who was being strangled, but he just stared into Sasuke's strange eyes of fury, placed his hands over the one on his throat. They both turned as they heard a voice come from the side. "What are you too doing?" a large man stood only a few feet from them. Sasuke quickly let go and stormed away, embarrassed that he lost control like that, as well that someone could come that close before he noticed.
"What was that about?" The new comer asked while watching the back of the fuming Uchiha.
"Nothing." Shikamaru shrugged, "How troublesome." He whispered to himself before started to walk in the direction the raven just went in."Come on Chouji. There is no need for us to be late." The man named Chouji agreed and quickly followed.
The village was small but it was home, there were a few huts and a large long house, for the colder winters. There was a giant fire pit in the center of the village for the gatherings. And as for the scenery, they couldn't have pick a better spot, their home over saw the great ocean were many of their food supplies came from, it allowed the spring to come quickly to their lands and they had the ability to move freely from one place to the other from the many rivers that flowed into the mighty waters. The forests that lined the back of their village gave them security, and protection, as well as other supplies necessary for life. Over all their village was one of the better ones.
Sasuke moved through the huts, passing many of the people, most of whom stared, some because of his beauty, others out of jealousy, but many out of the mystery that he held. But he was used to this and just moved forward as though he had only one goal, and that was to reach the gathering fire before anyone else. Many had already arrived and had settled in, enjoying each others company. The mothers playing small games with the children to keep them entertained, the fathers and older men standing near by talking with one another about the old days and the last hunt, most of the ones the same age as Sasuke were in two main groups, the boys and the girls, every once in a while one boy would run over to the girls group and say something that made one of the girls blush, while the others laughed, but once the girls spotted him the little game between the two groups stopped. All the girls just gawked at him and whispered between themselves, the raven turned away with a scowl marring his face, 'Stupid girls' he thought bitterly. He went and stood by himself, furthest away from the others, he wasn't one of them so why should he act like it. It was starting to get dark, as the Sun settled into the West, before the fire was lit, everyone moved forward now, joining their families and friends, but not the dark haired man, he was still the furthest away from the group, even though he now sat. A man wearing fine clothes of many different colours, and beads moved into the center of the group, with his arrival drums started to beat in time with his graceful movement, he twirled and swayed in and out of the people, moving around the fire in a way that made him look like a spirit, the bells tide to his ankles chimed every time his foot met the ground adding more to the sounds of the drums, the man's hands moved this way and that way, entrancing everyone into a world of legend and myth. The drums became loader like it were a heart beating away after a long and exhausting run. The movements of the man become more rugged and full of more life, then with the drums reaching the peak of their sound, and the man reaching the center of the fire again, they both stopped, leaving everyone leaning forward hoping for more then just the cliffhanger. It was silent in the group, the only sounds were the running waters, and the happy chirps of the crickets. The man in the beaded clothes moved to the side and sat quietly, quite proud of his show. But the main show was now beginning. The Elder of this village came next, her words were important then anyone else's, because hers were spoken from the realm of the great guardians, she was their messenger, their voice.
"My children." She spoke, her voice wavered with age. "There is a great monster amongst us." there was an up roar of whispers, Sasuke could hear his name in many of them, but it was silenced after the elder raised her wrinkled hands. "This monster is not of our kind." Her voice now sharp, daring anyone to say it was the raven again, "This monster comes from the seas, riding the back of an ocean horse, with a main of white. They carry weapons which breath fire, and kill from far way." Everyone gasped, the women hugging their children tightly, the men scowling trying to understand how anything could kill like that, and still breath fire. The young who were closest to Sasuke's age had a look that showed disbelief, he himself was having a hard time believing, but the elder never told something that wasn't true. Shikamaru stood, having come late he was sitting in the back of the group, "Great elder how do we stop monsters like that?" He was out of his usual lazy, uncaring nature, "How do we fight against something like that?" Many agreed with Shikamaru, but that was to be expected, he held much wisdom for his age. The elder looked sadly at her people. "We can't." She whispered but her voice carried out through the whole village, it made even Sasuke's skin craw in fear.
