Who Are You?

by Walks In The Shadows

The first time someone asked me that question, I knew the answer. Or, at least, I thought I did. But it isn't the first time I was wrong. Drabble, AU, not really a Naruto fic, but it was the category I was thinking of when I wrote it.

Who Are You?

Who are you?

When I first heard that question, I knew the answer.

But hey, it wasn't the first time I found I was wrong.

Those little things in my life keep crowding out the big ones. Like who am I? Why am I here? But that laugh of blissful ignorance keeps drowning out my screams.

For a time, I forgot.

And for a time, I was happy.

But now, I remember, all too clearly.

You're not meant to be happy.

That's my destiny.

I know what you're thinking. Why not fight my destiny? Why allow it to enslave me, make me its eternal puppet? You think I can go against the Fates? Ha. Once, I might have thought the same thing.

But it doesn't work like that.

It just doesn't.

Who are you?

When I first heard that question, I knew the answer.

But that was back when I knew everything.

It isn't the first time you were wrong.
