Chapter One: Our tale begins…
Destiny is a funny thing. The way things can change so quickly and unexpectedly. This was the story of his life in a sense. The smell of battle hung thick in the Forest of Death. Nearly everyone there was fighting for a heaven or earth scroll. The boy leaping from tree branch to tree branch couldn't care less. He had bigger things on his mind. Nothing would stop him from reaching his goal; he'd waited far too long.
I'm almost there… I can feel it.
He looked fatigued from lack of sleep and tireless searching. He had dark brown hair that was not quite shoulder length. His eyes were the same color. His left arm, except his fingers, were completely covered in bandages. He wore a gray chunin vest with two katana strapped to the back. The right side of his face had three deep scars running along it. His forehead protector bore the symbol of the sun. He was fifteen; and his eyes were filled with a fiery determination.
He finally reached his destination. He looked down on the scene before him. A pink haired girl frozen with fear, a raven haired boy scream with pain, a blond boy unconscious and pinned to a tree, and someone with a half melted face looking with satisfaction at the screaming boy.
Damn it. Looks like he's already decided to use this boy to test the cursed seal.
He paused to contemplate what his next move would be. He stared at the girl; whose eyes were brilliant green and laced with innocence.
I won't let him get away this time… this time I'll finish it.
He unsheathed his blades, both a deep shade of emerald, and leapt down with a vertical slice. The man leapt out of the way and turned to face him. The boy gave the most arrogant smirk he could muster, and assumed a defensive stance in front the three genin.
"It's been a long time you twisted bastard." he said.
"I was wondering when I would see you again" the man replied with an amused tone.
The sound of his voice incensed him. He charged swinging his blades horizontally; the man dodging every strike. This went on for a few minutes at best. Finally the man's neck extended like a snake; and he circled around to the boy's neck. He sunk his snake-like fangs into the young ninja's neck. He screamed in agony as the venom coursed through his veins. He trembled and attempted to stand and face the demonic snake.
"Don't worry it's not lethal," he laughed "I just need to keep you from interfering for a little while."
"Get back here…bastard!" the boy yelled weakly.
With that the man sank into the ground and completely disappeared from view.
"Damn it!" the boy scream, punching the ground.
He looked over at the pink haired girl, who still appeared in shock.
"Hey…are you all right?," he said concerned. "Did he do anything to you?."
"N-no I'm fine." she replied.
He smirked "Ok good." He looked over to her friends. The raven haired one was now unconscious, and the blond boy still hung from a tree. "Looks like you're friends weren't so lucky." He clutched the wound on his neck and gathered what little strength he had. "I'll go grab the blonde kid. You take care of the raven haired one."
"Right." she responded, thinking of her team's safety. "Wait…what's your name?"
He smirked yet again. "Shoukin." Then he ran off to grab her friend. Little did he know of the impact they would have on his life.
