The Beginning and the End
My whole life was like a typhoon; totally out of control. No one around me wanted anything to do with me, so I felt utterly alone. I felt out of place and I just wanted to disappear; there was nothing left for me to hold onto in a place of sorrow. So I decided to do something about the emptiness I felt; I decided that I wanted to become the Hokage. But then I met this one guy; I hated him, and yet I wanted to be just like him. The village adored him, he had a lot of friends, and he had talent. He had everything I had ever wanted. So why in the end did I just want for him to be my friend? We were so much alike and yet so different, he was quiet while I was loud, he was considered cool and I was considered annoying, he was normal and I had a demon. But we didn't care; all we cared about was to reach our dreams, and in a sad way we kind of did. I found out a lot that devastating day; he really wanted to kill me, but not out of hate. He truly considered me a friend I finally realized what it felt like to have something like a brother. But the darkness consumed him and dragged him away, and I haven't seen him since.
That was a year ago and I still can't shake the feeling of dread. I had not only lost a friend but I had also lost a comrade of the village. I had promised to bring him back and I failed to keep that promise. My dream of becoming the Hokage seemed like it was getting further and further away every day. I had lost control of the demon the day I fought with him; that was something that I should have never done. If I would have just let my conscience slip away then the demon would have consumed me and used me; bending me to its will. Grandma Tsunade has been keeping an eye on me ever since; she won't let me train because she said that training would just make the demon stronger as well, but don't I want to get stronger if I hope to defeat Sasuke and bring him back?
