Running Away

(Sand Village)

Gaara was scared. He didn't know where to go, so he just ran. Tears were streaming down his face, as he ran through the was a normal day for him, if one could call being abused by all people in the village "normal". But today was a day that he could no longer take it, so he just ran.

He could feel a sinister growling within his mind, as though there was the beast within him was pressing to be released.

Gaara cried, as he ran out of the village, and into the desert, no destination in mind at all, except away from the village.

(Cloud Village)

Yugito covered her ears, as she kept her back to the jeering people. Her teeth were clenched in frustration, and fear. She could feel the debris pelting her back. Yugito was hoping that the crowd would eventually just get bored and leave, like they normally did. But this time, they were doing it more than normal.

Eventually, Yugito couldn't take it anymore.

She just stood up, and ran as fast as she could. She tripped and fell once, before quickly picking herself back up, and continuing to run.

(Mist Village)

Yagura just walked through the mid-morning mist. He was staring miserably at the ground. He was still bruised and battered from his run-in with the people. He could hear the beast within him trying to convince Yagura to let it out, but Yagura ignored it as much as he could.

He looked up at the sky, and then at the village symbol on a house.

Yagura then clenched his fists, and just ran.

(Stone Village)

Roshi looked back at his old village, as he wiped blood from his cheek. Even at his current age, he was demonized by the entire village, and made an outsider.

"Going to leave?" a voice asked. Roshi looked over his shoulder, and saw Han land behind him.

"I'm tired of being treated this way," Roshi explained," I'm going away, to find a place to belong." Han put a hand on his fellow host's shoulder.

"I'm coming with you," Han said.

"You sure?"

"I have been hated and abused by the village as much as you have," Han said," I believe we will benefit from traveling together. Who knows, there might be more like us out there."

"One can only hope for now," Roshi said, as pulled out a kunai. He then held it up to his headband, and slashed it across the symbol. He then handed it to Han, who did the that, the two Jinchuriki leapt into the night.

(Mist Village)

Utakata was confused. He didn't know what to do. Everything was happening so fast, that it just seemed to happen at once. The abuse he had taken from his village was intense, but this was something else entirely. Utakata had a feeling that if he didn't escape when he did, he would've been limped to one of the exits of the village, as he looked to the sky.

A tear ran down his face, before he began to run.

(Waterfall Village)

Fu leaned against the building's wall, as she nursed her wound. As always, her village was aggressive, and loathsome towards her, but today was special. She walked away with a nearly broken arm, and nowhere to go have it treated.

Suddenly, Fu didn't care about anything, other than to get away from this accursed village. Holding her arm, she weakly stood up. Tears streaming down her face, she began to walk away, before breaking into an all out run, and doing all that she could to flee.

(Cloud Village)

B sat on the the roof of a building, staring out at the night sky. He was lost in thought.

"Thinking?" A asked as he appeared next to his brother.

"Yeah," B answered," Prejudices have been leveled a lot against me lately."

"Comes with the demon," A said with a shrug.

"I don't think I belong here," B said, as he stood up, and folded his arms.

"What are you talking about?" A asked, as he put a hand on B's shoulder.

"I think its best that I leave," B explained," Go out and journey for some time, learn how to control the beast within me, in more ways than one."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" A asked.

"I'll probably come back," B said," But for the time being, report that I'm a traitor." A blinked, not expecting that.

"Why?" he asked.

"For the sake of the villagers, so that they now have a symbol," B said. He then pulled out a sword, and made a gash over his headband.

"See you round," he said, as he vanished into the night, leaving A on the rooftop.

(Leaf Village)

Naruto curled into a ball, leaning against a dumpster, tears streaming down his face. All day he was tormented to no end, for a reason he didn't understand. He was left out of the village like he was some kind of a monster, and was treated like a killer.

He looked up at the moon, tears still coming down his face. He then came to a conclusion.

"I don't belong here," he said softly to himself. He then slowly stood up, before he ran, as fast as he possibly could.

Note: not a particularly strong start, but I take what I can get. As you might guess, I made some of them younger than they probably are, for the sake of the story. I could use some suggestions as to how they meet in the future. I'm unsure about pairings for the time.
