It is strange really, when you are about to die. It is as if time slows down to almost a crawl, or stops completely. You stop and think about your life, and I mean really stop and think. It is as if your brain goes into over drive. Moreover, that is where I am right now, lying in a pool of my own blood, eyes barely open staring into the black void of the night sky.

I heard voices, shouts and screams. I felt tears drip onto my face; these were not my tears, obviously.

Still I thought; back, back, to a time that I did not even know it existed about my past. It was like I was watching a movie.

(Naruto's memory)

I remember running, running as fast as I could. It was like this every day for five years. Villagers and drunks chased me every day. I remember the hate of everyone I meet, no one showed me any kindness, except two people Teuchi and Ayame Ichiraku, they owned the only place where I could get a decent meal and it not is poisoned.

However, this night was different; I was carried out of the village and beaten by eight drunken villagers they used knives broken bottles, ant thing they could get their hands on. They left me for dead I thought I was going to die when I passed out, but what I did not now was how worse it was going to get.

"Commander the target seems to be unconscious".

"Good, send a retrieval team to collect him". Commander Leo Thorn was ecstatic; finally, they would have him, the biotic child whose raw undeveloped power they picked up from halfway across the sector. This kid had been making there sensors go crazy when they got remotely close to the planet. Finally he would get what he wanted, they were going to make this kid a biotic god by the end of this. His lips curled into a crazy smile at the thought.

I remember waking up in a metal room; it was cold except for the little blanket I wrapped myself in. I remember being scared out of my mind at the time. After that some people came in, I was injected with some kind of serum, I blacked out.

When I woke, again I was in the same room. I felt my head, my hair was gone and there was a thin line going down my skull.

For five years that room was my prison, the little desk in the corner became my best friend. I remember crying under it kicking it, using my fingernails to carve into it.

There was a window too; I could see kids outside it walking around completely ignoring me. I did everything to try to get the kids attention. I screamed until my lugs wanted to burst, slamming my body against it, wailing on it with my fists until my knuckles bleed and broke. I thought that that window was the whole world just beyond my fingertips, fuck was I wrong.

I used to tie my wrists to the bed sheets and try t rip them off. Stupid, but when you just cannot take it anymore crazy shit like that just appeals to you.

Tied down and injected with more drugs then I can count, taken to an arena type thing and forced to fight for my life, made me ruthless. It taught me how to survive. I figured the more people died, the better my chances of survival was.

By the time, I was ten my biotic power had developed to the point where I became a threat to the people who imprisoned me. The night before my escape, I found out what was keeping me alive.

(Naruto's mind)

I woke up to water dripping on my face. I sat up a bit too fast feeling light headed. Slowly rising to my feet, I looked at my surroundings. I was in a sewer, a very damp sewer, the weird thing is, and I did not fell wet or damp. I started walking for what felt like hours. Finally, I came upon a cage, and then this over whelming power hit me. There was a growl and then I giant paw swept out of the cage. My combat reflexes kicked in and I leapt back, instantly retaliating by sending a biotic shockwave into the cage.

Stopping I stared into the cage, two blood red slits stared back at me as I heard insane laughter fill the room. "Finally you're here kit I've been waiting for you"

"Who the hell are you?" I yelled back

"I am the great fox Demon, Kyubi no Kitsune" the Kyubi roared

"The what?". There was silence for a moment after that.

"You really don't know who I am d you kit?" the fox rather sounded disappointed after that. He sighed "no matter, listen kit the basic rundown is I have been with you since you were born, I can see hear and feel everything you can, and I want to make you a deal"

I did not trust him at first but I learned to. "What deal are we talking about?"

The beasts grinned bearing his teeth a little "I have felt, seen, and heard your life for ten years. It makes e angry that anyone would do this to a child like yourself," the Kyubi sounded like he wanted to kill something at that moment "I have learned a lot about your biotic power, I want to offer you my power as well. I want you to take it and free yourself from this place, as well as kill everyone here"

I knew this was y chance for escape; finally, I would have y revenge on those bastards who tortured e for the past five years. I accepted the Kyubi's help without question. He gave e the power; I mixed it with my biotic abilities. He also sent images and abilities into y head; the beast said they would make me more powerful. I was drinking up the knowledge like water; it was great I felt the power coursing through me. It was more powerful and addictive then any drug.

"Go kit slaughter themall" I remembered an insane laughter following me out of my mind.

Waking up to the sounds of fighting and gunfire, I threw myself from the bed. Gazing out my window, I saw biotic powers flying in exchange for shots being fired right back.

An insane grin crossed my lips as I saw the eyes of my reflection become red slits. Oh, I am going to enjoy this, paybacks a bitch motherfucker.

R/R I own nothing.
