Prologue– Through the Depths Of Despair

Drip…drop…drip…drop…

SPLASH!

Starring at the large doors of the room, I turn to my partner as he nodded his head in response. Behind that door will describe my fate…my destiny…my goal….

I slowly reach for the cold handle, my heartbeat moving with a fast rhythm, but I managed to shake it off. I am no coward; I can do this…even if it will cause something dear to me. With that, I push myself in, my partner inches his way in but stop to look at me as we hear a deep and cold voice, which filled the entire room.

"Who's there?" He asks I bow down in respect as I feel the whole room darken each second I stand before him.

"It is I…" I quickly respond he recognizes my voice. My head still facing the ground, the cold made me hesitate a little but I didn't care what it was… not anymore.

"What is it? Speak!" He commanded.

"We have finished our mission; we have captured what you've asked of us."

"What about the last one?" He asks, sensing his tone he's quite at disbelief at what I just said, but who cared anyway.

"Yes, about that…it managed to get away, but we will come after it if you'd give us another chance to—" I was unable to finish, he spoke aloud.

"You've let it escape! What have you done this time!" He asks I look away…glaring at the cause of my failure.

"We have not let it escape; we know where it is…" My partner spoke, I look at him, and his face filled with nothing but emptiness…something I would most likely become. There was an intense silence.

"Alright but this only comes as a warning, I want you two to track it down!"

"But it's in a village! That would mean we'd have to destroy it—" Once again, I have sealed the contract to my own death.

"Are you questioning me!"

I look down in defeat, what was I thinking!

"No sir, I am not…"

"Good…then you won't have a problem destroying that village while you're at it."

I wanted so much to refuse. I hated myself; I was weak in front of him. None of us can question his authority. His word was law.

I finally forced myself to say the words, "Yes sir, I will."

"You shouldn't have said that…" My partner said, I looked away…I always believed myself to be strong, yet why do I feel so weak?

"…You know we can't do anything about it and yet you insist on rising against him."

"Yes, but you can't expect me to destroy that village."

He sighed, I did nothing…I was a puppet with thick strings, and I was so easily manipulated.

"But if you don't, what would he do to you? What would you get in return?" He said emotion filled his last sentence, which he was so desperately trying to hide.

Silence...

"I know…" I said breaking the silence as I look at the deep, dark pool of water which took my image…but this time, very different.

"You wanted to see me?"

I tried walking closer, but every step I took my body felt like burning into ashes. I hesitated as I wait for his response.

"Tell me, do you feel weak?"

I stiffen. I didn't expect him to ask me this for I couldn't lie. He quickly sensed my fear as he smirked.

"I see…"

"…Well then, tell me…how is the gift I gave you?"

Once again, I stood silent. I found no ways to answer his question. Because one wrong move and I will…

"Silent now are we…?"

I glare at him he is the one. He was my weakness…my cause…my hatred…

"It looks as if I've molded you quite well…"

I've always tried to become strong, I've always wanted to be the best, and I've always wanted to make him proud…

"…Although that's the case, it seems I have yet to discipline you!"

With a blink of an eye I fell on the ground, weak, powerless, a mere puppet…

I could no longer stand; my body was failing me. I feel him lift my head a little, I glare at him as my eyes drop to only feel his cold lips brushing across my neck and to my ear as he whispers, "You live because I say so…my beautiful, beautiful pet…."

"…Naruto…"

Author Notes:

Yay! My first ever Naruto Fan Fiction! Huzzah!
