Yosh. Horah for plot holes, yea. First song fic -.-
---------------
A young blond no older than the age of 7 hid behind a stump, blue eyes filled with curiousity; he was watching something. (watching, waiting, always let down)
A young raven-haired child about the same age was practicing ignoring the blond that hid not too far away.
But it's not like he had a choice, he was being swarmed by other children who watched him skillfully send another kunai straight into the center of the target; knocking the previous one far away (it was still, it wouldn't be touched again)
There are just
too many
times people
tried to look inside of me
wondering what I think of you
when I protect you out of courtesy
The black-haired child didn't need to try, it was like swatting a fly.
The blond continued to wait, (but the monster still grew)
'Even when I try so hard...'
(I can't)
He wanted to prove himself to them...
(but he just couldn't)
Too many
times that I've held on
when I needed to push away
afraid to say what was on my mind
and afraid to say
what I need to say
The children cheered,the girls giggled at his sheer skill. The raven child took no notice and pulled out yet another few weapons (seemingly endless) and shot them all at the target at once. They all hit the target. (of course)
The children cheered once again and offered him rewards and giving him offers. He took no note of the others actions and continued aiming at the target.
None of the children let up though, the continued to offer greater prizes and cheers every shot he made, perfect or not.
The boy behind the stump couldn't help but feel jelous (eating at the insides,an ugly thing that will eventually surface)
Soon they all left, leaving the academy students, their excuse was training,their parents weren't worried (The boy couldn't help but yearn)
Too many
things you've said about me
when I'm not around
You think havin' the upper hand
means you've got to to keep putting me down
but I've had
too many
stand-offs with you
it's about as much I can stand
The timid blond stepped out from behind the stump, clutching a small bag tightly (it would all be over if he let go; just more than before) It seemed time had stopped as all attention turned to him; amazed smiles turning into frowns (jelously can turn into true hate, an uglier monster than before, a rare few borne it)
So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine
The boy looked at the dirt and spoke timidly. (no one would hear his voice, it was the howl of a demon)
"Well?" The young girl with a lighter-blond hair and blank blue eyes stared annoyed at him. "What do you want?"
The boy who had just appeared coughed slightly and made the bags' presence clear. "Umm...I-I was wondering..." He looked like he was debating weather he should go through with this. "I was wondering if you'd come to my b-birthday..." He poured the contents of the bag onto the floor.
Handmade cards each with an expensive toy attached.
"Birthday?" One scoffed, he was mocking the boy, (like all the others) The dog atop his head barked mockingly to agree with his master.
Yet, all the children curiously picked up the cards that came out of the bag regaurding the toys and treats each came with with a gleam of greed in their eyes.
"For us?" Asked a chubby kid, as he looked hungerly at the tasty lollipop one card came with.
"W-well...i-if you come..." The blonde, a hint of hope shown in his eyes.
"Sure we'll come Naruto.." Said a pink-haired one with a red ribbon around her head. "We'll even remember to bring presents" The young boy missed the malicious gleam in her eyes as the others snickered.
"See you then!" He said as they all ran off (all except raven-haired boy, he had left before the question was implied)
So many
People like me
put so much trust in all your lies
so concerned with what you think
to say what we feel inside
The young blond ran home filled with happiness and hope. (So fast such, that he didn't notice they had discarded the cards without a glance at the contents and greedily took the present attached)
The next day no one acted different, there was definetly more chuckling when ever Naruto walked passed them. He thought they were happy for him as he had spent two weeks calqulating and re-checking his work just to figure out the date of his Birth.
("What if you don't have a birthday?" The young blond implied. The children laughed. "A birthday is when people celebrate the fact you were born, so if you don't have one,you'd be better off dead!" They laughed as he ran away)
The children had free-time to play, but the blue-eyed child sat lonley on his swing again. Usually when it was someones' birthday, people would ask what the host liked; but no one came up to him.
But he dared not speak or ask about it, he didn't want them to change their mind. (Always falling; never stopping)
So many
people like me
walk on eggshells all day long
all I know is that I want
is to feel like I'm not stepped on
But the snickering got worse, and his party was not too long away.
A week before the party, they had free time again, but this time in the academys' yard. (The only thing in it was dust and a kickball field)
"Where's the ball?" Asked the annoyed child with the dog on his head.
"How would I know where the ball is Kiba? How troublesome..." Replied a brunette with his hair tied up in a stiff ponytail wearing a bored expression.
"Uh-ummm..." Came a small voice at the front of the gate. All attention turned to the boy once again.
"I have the ball..." He held up a small orange ball in his quivering hands. He was so unused to speaking.
"You shouldn't steal things, we wanna play kickball." Regaurded the chubby kid (this time eating chips)
"C-can I play..? I'll give it if you do..." He looked down at the dirt.
He fell to the ground at the impact of something. "Oof!" He slowly got up as the ball rolled in the direction of the group.
"Why would we let you play?" An accusing finger was pointed at him by Ino.
"We-well.." He began, but was cut off.
"You stole the ball and now you want to to play? You're a stupid little thief aren't you?" Continued the pinked haired girl.
"B-but..."
The young raven-haired one spoke up (he was sitting at the side, unnoticed)
"Sakura's right for once; no one likes you, your futile attemps at frendship are sad to watch; you constently try to do us favors that don't work. But here; do us all a favor and and die." He held no emotion from his voice.
Naruto froze wide-eyed. (you could hear a cracking sound somewhere) The children sniggered at his misfortune as Sakura swooned at Sasuke while Ino held her back.
He ran away. (Like always)
There are so many
things you say
that make me feel you crossed the line
What goes up will surely fall
And I'm counting down the time
He ran home as fast as he could (cracking, cracking)
He tried to convince himself that Sasuke was just jelous that he wasn't invited as he cuddled up in the corner of his empty apartment.
But he couldn't believe that; a little crack in his heart told him so as he faded away (Into the empty councious of his mind)
'Cause I've had
so many
stand-offs with you
it's about as much as I can stand
so i'm waiting until the upper hand is mine
On the day of the party, it rained.
Naruto sat idley by the window (the crack that had started earlier was almost finished splitting him in two)
He wondered and wondered if they mis-read something...('But not all can have bad eyesight' taunted a little voice in the black of his head)
After the longest time; he ventured to find out where'd they went. Eventually ending up at Ino's house; he peeked through the small gap in the curtains from behind the window.
All his classmates where laughing and having a good time.
But,
they were jeering at his expense; parading around their new toys from Naruto's hand-made card, some randomly cursing him because they no longer liked theirs.
(the crack went through; he was broken)
He ran from the window, out into the rain (it couldn't hide his tears though; they were red)
One minute you're on top
the next you're not
watch it drop
making your heart stop
just before you hit the floor
He cried alone under a lone pine tree in the middle of the forest.
(red is for love, bleed for me)
It was sad to find a creature that couldn't cry. Because crying meant that everything was going to be okay. (so what if it's not?)
One minute you're on top
the next you're not
missed your shot
making your heart stop
You think you won
Then it's all gone
The next day, everyone was snickering at Naruto as he walked in; he didn't react, he just sat down by the window and looked out.
Ino came by with Sakura and leaned on his table as Sakura snickered.
"I'm sooo sorry Naruto-Kun" Ino held back a laugh as she said it, Naruto didn't move. "I had another party yesterday that I forgot about; couldn't make it."
The whole class erupted laughing, and Naruto slowly turned around his head and did something no one thought he could ever do;
he glared at Ino (Hate is an ugly monster indeed, few can rival it)
Ino jumped back in suprise. Naruto's eyes were... Empty... Hollow... (No longer was anyone there)
But yet, demonic...
Naruto's empty eyes had a light tinge of red.
I know I'll never trust a single thing you say
you knew you lies would divide us
but you lied anyway
and all the lies have got you floating up above us all
but what goes has got to fall
Naruto was broken.
(no changing that which is done)
A hollow shell housing two demons at once. (no good can come from this.)
(And from that monster born from the boy; came a little demon,eyes glassed with hate)
Just before you hit the floor
