The shadows in his peripheral vision seemed to flicker, and he turned to look. There was nothing there, but something was telling him 'Danger'. His footsteps seemed to echo in the dark streets as he picked up the pace slightly. He had survived the war, so walking home should be no problem right? Only now he wasn't so sure. Even after returning, he didn't feel safe – almost as if he was being followed everywhere he went. He felt there were always eyes on him, but walking alone down a dark street in the early hours of the morning wasn't helping his paranoia.
He caught another flicker in the corner of his eye and once again it was gone when he turned to look. His breath was coming faster now, and his footsteps were becoming faster. All he wanted was to get home and sleep even if what happened… he refused to think about that. It was in the past now. He hoped. After all, there was these shadows following him now and they hadn't been there before.
His eyes focused on the light of the street ahead and his footsteps became faster still, but not quite running. That would seem desperate, and he would not succumb to his paranoia.
That was his last thought before a sharp pain hit the side of his neck and he fell to the ground, just as the sun cast its light over the scene.
Just the prologue, what do you think? NCIS and Naruto will come in later :P
This has not been checked.
