Chapter One:
In Which A Photo Is Developed
Grey, such a bland, boring colour. Every colour has a hint, a trace of grey within them. Sometimes it just needs to be touched by white, or black.
To no longer see colours would be a burden. A feat so imaginable. No longer would the grass be green, the sky blue, the sand orange, blood red. But rather grey. Suddenly, matching the colours of your clothes together to make sure they match in your day ahead, or dying your hair another colour, none of that would matter.
Monochrome, that's what they call it. Mono- Greek for only, or rather alone. And Chroma- Colour.
Suddenly colours are a long lost memory. And not one that can be remembered. How do you describe a colour to someone? Impossible. Although, sometimes colours can hide the truth.
No longer does white or black represent good or evil. Some people say that Cone Monochromacy is a disease, a burden. But sometimes, one must be affected by something so devastating that he can finally understand that not everything is as it seems.

No longer were the building looming over the city. Unrealistically high- higher than they needed to be. No longer was the constant sound of sirens and cars surrounding him, but rather the quiet mutter of students making their way to school and the birds morning song. No longer did the large trucks or power plants contaminate the air making one cough violently while walking down the street.
In Sasukes' opinion- he hated it. Growing up in the big city he was use to the busy life that he had lived for the past 16 years, but now. Standing in front of one of the smallest schools he had ever had the disadvantage to witness, he suddenly decided that he hated his brother a lot more than he originally had.
Running a hand through his thick hair, he succeeded in removing a few dried leaves from their resting place. Autumn, such a depressing season. Although one who knew Sasuke more than a stranger would describe this certain nobody as that particular season. Maybe that's why it was his favorite.
It was only 8 o'clock, and even now students were suddenly appearing within the school grounds- an hour before the school bell rang. With a huff of defeat and suitcase in hand he walked in the direction of the school dorms. His brother had informed Sasuke of all the information that he needed to know while he gratefully drove the teenager to the hell he would have to stay at for the remaining of the school year.
Sasukes' older brother, Itachi was a business man and traveled around constantly. Due to some problems at his last school, Sasuke had been kicked out, and in a desperate attempt to help his younger sibling Itachi moved the stubborn boy to a country town and enrolled him within the school. Just that morning, Itachi was on his way over to Wellington to do some business, but he promised that he'd visit.
The inside of the dorm was still asleep with only a couple of sleepwalking teenagers crowding the halls on their way to their friends rooms. He never liked drawing attention to himself, so he stayed in the shadows in a attempt to stay hidden. It wasn't that he was shy, but rather he hated being crowded, he hated people following, he just hated people in general. To be blunt- they just annoyed him.
His room was upstairs. Ever since he started College he had lived in dorms, he had never had a roommate for longer than a week. Sasuke wasn't exactly the most easiest person to live with, and he liked to make it known that he preferred to live on his own.
Room 13, it didn't take him long to find the room. It was at the end of a long hall way on the top floor, considering there was only two floors in the building. Unlocking the door with the key that he'd been given by Itachi when his older brother had picked up all of his books, rosters and whatnot- he was greeted with a curtain drawn room.
"Kiba god damn you! I told you not to wake me up 'till at least 8:30."
Not that he'd like to admit it, the voice startled Sasuke slightly as he turned his piercing gaze over to one of the two beds located in the room. Closing the door behind him the lump hidden within the piles of blankets groaned again and shifted slightly before a head of spiky hair popped out from under the covers, mouth open as if he was about to say something to whoever this Kiba person was. Wide eyes met his own as Sasuke just raised a eye brow at the surprised and slightly embarrassed look the boy wore on his face.
"And exactly who the hell are you?" questioned the sleep ridden boy. Sasuke just remained silent, not impressed by this boys attitude. Dumping his bags down at the foot of the other bed- which was on the opposite side of the room to the one that the boy was sleeping in, he turned around, eyes set in a glare. He was not amused.
Itachi had told him that he was getting a dorm to himself, but now the younger Uchiha knew better than to believe a word that exited his brothers venomous mouth, not that he believed a word anyway.
"I'm waiting for an answer you bastard!" complained the boy, now sitting up in bed, meeting Sasuke's glare with one of his own.
"It's rude to ask someone their name without introducing themselves first." Sasuke never backed down from a fight. And this kid, he just seemed to be screaming out competition.
"Uzumaki Naruto," growled the boy, "Now tell me who the hell are you or I'll scream out rape!"
"Very immature," was the only reply he gave as he turned his back on Naruto and searched through his bag for his books and cellphone. He was just pissed with the fact that this other kid was sharing a room with him, but he would just have to stand up to the competition. He'd give the kid a week before this Naruto fellah was running down the street with his tail between his legs. "I'm you're roommate." He was completely heartless.
"Roommate!? Since when was I getting a roommate!?"
"Since now, you dumb ass."
Naruto glared up at the taller boy. He wasn't exactly in a good mood- he was rudely awoken by this nameless freak and now he'd just found out that he was no longer able to do whatever the hell he wanted while in this room. The other boys black eyes just bore into his own, and Naruto- although he wouldn't admit it, he felt a little bit afraid. Silence followed the comment, not wanting to feed the fire. If what this other boy was saying was true, then he'd prefer to not have to share a room with an enemy. Especially one- dare he say it- as scary as the one standing in front of him.
He practically screamed dangerous and murderous. Pale skin, pitch black hair and black eyes made him look much like a vampire. He wore black loose jeans and a simple dark blue T-shirt with a dark coat overtop. The faint smell of cigarette smoke seemed to fill the room, making Naruto want to gag.
He saw that the stranger was about to exit, book bag loosely flung over his shoulder, "Wait," called out Naruto.
Sasuke, hand on door handle turned his head ever so slightly in the direction of Naruto's voice, a signal that he was listening.
"Can you at least just tell me you're name? I mean- we're going to have to live together and I'd prefer that we got along. I'm not to font of sharing a room with someone that hated me and vice versa, and I'm sure you'd agree?"
"I can tell you now that we aren't going to be roommates for long, and I'd make sure of that." Growled Sasuke, somewhat annoyed by the other boys optimistic view on life. "Uchiha Sasuke."
And with that Sasuke had left, slamming the door behind him. A smile grazed Naruto's lips. He also enjoyed a challenge.
