A lot of people say that death's a curse. Just a rebound for those who are weak and pathetic and those are looking for a second chance. But, what if, death is more than an escape and more than a curse that is bestowed upon the fortunate and the misfortunate. What if death is a living breathing person…?
"Beep, Beep, Beep!"
The alarm clock rings in a teenager's bedroom, indicating that is was time to get out of his silky inviting Egyptian cotton sheets.
"Ugh! Why on earth does school have to be deathly early??"
A boy with long blond locks of hair to his wide shoulders with a natural shine raised his head from the sea of sheets and pillows to scowl and send deadly stares to the annoyingly beeping alarm clock with his almost to bright to be natural sapphire eyes.
"I swear on my grave, that if anyone who dares wake me up at this time will lose their head!!"
He stood up and slowly started crawling out of his bed in his bright green boxers to the white closet door, making a face as to if each step was causing him exceeding pain.
He searched through his clothes to finally picking a semi-clean black T-shirt and some dark blue jeans that smugly fit around his hips. The black blank T-shirt making his tanned but creamy skin stands out.
"Naruto!!!! Get up and get breakfast!! You are going to be late!!" A voice accumulated from downs stairs.
"Ya, whatever Shizune!" He replied boldly.
Shizune was Naruto's step-mother he was given when he was a small child. Shizune even though being his cursed step-mother was not much older than him and was in collage trying to be a nurse.
Naruto stumbled down the flight of stairs toward the messy kitchen.
"Damn Shizune, Who poked the beast…" Naruto criticized.
"Shut up Twerp…" Shizune spoke calmly.
Shizune's long black hair seemed to move up and down as she played with her glasses.
"I lost my contacts…"
"Well that explains why breakfast is burning…"
"WHAT???"
"I'm kidding…" Naruto laughed.
"Ass..."
"Geek…"
"Freak…"
"Birthday boy…?" Naruto smiled.
"I hate you…"
"You love me…" Naruto spoke putting his hand over his heart.
Naruto's birthday party being tomorrow was a thing to his advantage. Shizune would never make fun of him near his birthday no matter what he did, so let's just say he was living it up…
"So what are the plans for your party…?"
"Well, Kiba's coming over today to help me figure it all out…"
"Fine…just don't make it all high school students, invite some of my collage friends to..."
"Got it…"
"Have a fun day at school Naruto!" Shizune yelled as Naruto ran out the door.
Naruto ran to the school with blinding speed, the onlookers appearing like shadows caused by his pace.
He arrived at school not as late as he expected. Naruto looked around the halls to see people still chatting upon his arrival and the bell had yet to ring.
He ran to his locker with a gallop and smashed right into his brunette haired dark chocolate eyed friend Kiba, with a grin on his face…
"So you have finally arrived princess…"
"Forgot your PMS med's today womanizer?" Naruto kept a perfect doll-like face during that small chat, till they both broke out into fits of laughter.
"So, party????"
"We will plan today after school…"
"Your house or mine?"
"Mine."
"Deal."
"Deal."
They griped hands in agreement and headed into opposite directions toward their daily classes.
The bell rang singling the end of school… The day, boring as ever and Naruto only looking forward to exploring the numerous possibilities on how to make his sweet sixteen party filled with fun.
As Kiba and I sped to the step-mothers house we shot ideas for my party until we reached the designated area in my domain.
The grinning Kiba, took a seat next to me.
"So Naruto what shall we do?"
"Internet…"
"Fine by me…"
We both bent over my laptop in the effort to both read at the same time. There was so many party themes Kiba gave up on the first page… Maybe this was going to be harder than I thought.
"Pirates…?"
"No…"
"Fairy's?"
"Hell no!"
"Demons…"
"To Halloweenish…"
"Hippies…?"
"…"
"Well…?"
"I would look sexy as a hippie…"
"Kiba?"
"Ya…"
"For once I think I like flower power…"
"Girl's like flowers…"
"Guys like wearing no shirt with peace written on their muscles…"
"Sure why not?"
"One problem…"
"What?"
"We have no alcohol or pot to be a hippie…"
"I can get the alcohol…"
"Good enough…"
I waved Kiba goodbye as he walked out the front door. Shizune still tense on the idea of hippies was searching through her clothes for something green, as I enjoy my nice quiet room.
I leaned down to pick up my birth father's diary. For everyday there was a new message, and I was going to read Saturdays date, my birthday. For my father wrote me messages in the past, for me to read in the future.
Dear Naruto,
Don't be alarmed when you receive a gift that is so unbelievable that you might in fact question your own sanity. This gift is to be cherished and never to let go of. This gift will give you a new outlook on life and not just what the world appears to be. But be warned your gift can be dangerous if not purified. Seek comfort in it and it with reveal to you things that were thought to be hidden under the mask of society. Take care of him, for he is just as precious as you, and deserves trust. For what you give, will be what you receive… By the way, happy 16th birthday.
From,
Your father.
Now that was strange! Most of the time, he always said that he loved me, and to do well in school, and make friends, and that was most definitely not a friendly letter.
I put the silk diary but under my bed and laid in my bed sheets forcing the message out of my head as I fell into a deep slumber only to be woken up he next morning…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pain, something that leads to perfect pink invisible scars. Those scars, Are what keeps people together, but also tear them apart. Bonds are made, the old, torn apart, when an enemy becomes a friend, is the only time where those scars may be healed, and hidden in the past.
"Ouch!!!!!!"
My head throbbed as my vision felt blurry. I fell out of my bed gripping my head screeching in pain.
I never felt so weird. This headache felt as it was ripping all of my body's nerves apart. My body slashed back and forth till the pain started to dull down rapidly.
"My god…"
I lay their for a couple of minutes gaining control over my body once more, as I sat up and looked at my hands that were firmly planed against my skull.
"What the hell was that?"
I had no idea what had happened and stood up slowly shaking my shock off.
I must have gotten up to fast or ate something bad last night.
As I finally raised myself from the floor I looked around and blinked a couple of times.
"Naruto, you ok up there??" Shizune yelled up the stairs.
"Ya, just fell out of my bed…"
"Weirdo!"
I shook off the shock, and ran down stairs surprised to see everything set up and also surprised to see the time….
"You have got to be kidding me!!!!"
It was already 5:00 pm…
"Why didn't you wake me up!!!!!!?" I screamed making her fall off the small ladder she was standing on.
"Jeez, well it's not my fault you went to bed at 4:00am. I thought you needed some sleep. Kiba is coming over in a couple minutes get ready you have an hour…"
For once in my life I wanted to hit a woman.
She was so lucky that I had to get ready. I bolted back up stairs to my room and ripped though my closet.
"Green, green, green, green!!!"
I pulled out a pair of blue jeans and a ripped green wife beater top and through them on. After I pulled my outfit on I ran to the bathroom and started brushing my hair to the side of my head like a maniac. When I done combing my blond shine hair to the side I focused on my sculpted body. After all, I do want to look good for my guests.
I looked down to my abdomen and started painting a peace sign on each muscle in red and orange paint.
Kiba burst through the door and gave me a funny look.
"Really Naruto?"
"What wrong with showing off…"
Kiba shook his head back and forth.
"Oy, just because I like the same gender does not mean I can't show off to the girls too…"
"I know, I know…"
I stuck my tongue at him in a childish fashion and ran out of the bathroom to get some oil.
I greased up my body till it gave off a shine and I smiled in confidence.
Kiba knew I was gay since middle school when I told him at lunch. He was my best friend ever since and never judged me because of it. Probably because I wouldn't go after his girlfriends, and after all girls like gay guys…
Kiba also stood up for me in freshman year when all the homophobes started calling me a fag. They all left with only one nut… It was so funny that he did it of all people, most of the time he was afraid of knifes.
I never laughed so hard in my life when a police officer came up to him asking why the kids where crying on the ground with bloody crotches. Kiba just answered saying that they didn't like gay guys and the man laughed and said "Then I didn't see anything…" Then got up and left. Kiba was really always my best friend and even though sometimes I want to strangle him, there were no secrets between us.
"Hurry up woman!!"
Sometimes I still regret picking him…
"I'm coming, you pathetic excuse for a player…"
I walked out of my room to see that some of the guests were already here.
I looked around seeing Shizunes's collage friends and teacher were here and the booze to.
"Mom! What time is it?" I yelled across the room.
Shizune looked sown to her silver watch on her left wrist and replied.
"7:10pm everyone should be here in a couple of minutes!"
"Ok!!"
I walked over to the beer and stared. I never had a drink before because I was only 15. Now was my chance to try it.
I walked over to the table and picked up a Bud Lite and sat next to the alcohol table.
I opened up the beer and chugged it down. I felt a tingle in my throat that I quite enjoyed. But, something in the back of my head started kicking me, telling me to put the beer down. I pushed the voice back into my mind and started drinking it again and when I was done I grabbed another one.
After my 5th one, I felt weird, my vision started to haze and the effects clouded my mind but I still did not stop drinking.
Everyone was here and music was booming and yells of joy screamed through my head as I picked up my 6th drink and devoured it.
I stood up hardly awake and walked to the front door. I didn't know where I was going I just felt like moving.
I walked out the front door to the street. The voice inside my head was now screaming at me like it never did before, I thought that I heard a man's voice but then it disappeared.
I found that my body was waiting for something.
There I was standing in the middle of the road with a beer bottle in my hand, just waiting…
I didn't know what for. I could hardly see and stand at the same time. I wobbled looked forward slowly.
Two pairs of shining light were coming straight at me. I was confused and then I heard it, a sound of a beeping horn as a red pick up truck came at me head on.
I could not move and driver could not stop.
My beer bottle fell out of my hand to the ground, as I stand there in shock, not being able to move.
I closed my eyes taking my last breath.
Just as I accepted it a smashing sound could be heard right in front of me.
I looked up.
The driver dead across the wind shield as the car was pushed to a stop.
A man just stood there as the impact was seen in the cars front bumper.
He just stood there not moving and looking down at me.
He was definitely not from my school.
He wore a black long gunner coat then ended at his knees. His long pure black hair spiked and came down to about his collarbone, as his tainted black eyes stared into mine. He was deathly pale and his leather closed coat and black leather skinny jeans showed not one rip on them from the impact. His clean battle boots moved his body from the frame of the car and he bent down to look at me.
"I told you that you should not drink Master…" His voice was husky but smooth as a blade, his pink lined lips pressed together in worry. His skinny fingers wiped my hair out of my face.
"Uhhh…" I couldn't speak.
"Shhh…" He placed a slender digit on my lips.
"I will explain as stood as I take care of this mess."
He raised a pale white hand to the dead driver and the body moved back to the driver seat. As he did this, the truck started moving and it landed next a metal light pole. His hand weaved through the air to the light pole and the light burst and the pole bended.
"There…" He breathed a shallow breath.
He bent over and helped me up. He was so beautiful like a raven, a form of lust in a human form… Well a human that just moved a dead body and truck with a lift of his hand… That kind of human.
"Now, come with me Master..."
He started walking back to the house.
I followed him back into the house towards my bedroom.
Not one person seemed to see him other than me. I mean he was wearing all black and looked like he was a male prostitute who came for the party.
When we finally reached my room I was in awe. His face seemed even more elegant and amazing in the light. But his eyes seemed darker than night.
"Sit Master Naruto…"
"How do you know my name and why are you calling me Master??"
He sighed but then signaled me to sit down.
"My name is Sectores…"
"I will never be able to remember that…"
"You may call me
whatever you like, within reason Sir."
"So I still don't
know why you're here…"
"To put it short I am here to serve and comfort you Master…"
"Serve and comfort??" I could not wrap my head around the fact that he was here for me.
"Yes Sir, when the owner die's my kind gets freedom…"
"So you're here to do what I say…?"
A scowl formed on his once emotionless face.
"It depends, my kind are many things to your family. Some can be servants while others become their lovers, some make there owner become heroes, and some make them fall. You will be the judge of what you use me for and how you feel about me. But master I warn you, for if you choose the wrong thing you will regret it."
I stared at him in thought ignoring the threat. He really is at my command, and my command is law to him.
"So how could you make me fall?" I asked to see if he could actually hurt me.
He laughed quietly.
"Funny, you know I have to answer whatever you ask me. Well, if you must know Naruto, I can make you go insane. I can kill all of your friends and family if you make me angry, and, I can form myself into your body to take over you, Master…"
I was now in pure shock; I knew what my dad's letter meant now. He was the tainted gift and if I wanted him to treat me as his master then I must not attempt to reject or anger him. Dad, why did you not tell me sooner?
"Fine then, Sasuke… I understand why you're here, but tell me, what am I to you?"
Sectores smiled at his new name.
"I am whatever you want me to be, Master…"
"Anything I want you to be…?"
"Yes Sir." He bowed to me. His hand placed on his stomach as he bent over in servitude.
"Can I change my mind after I pick?" I asked.
"Yes Sir."
"Fine then, will you be my best friend?"
I have never seen someone so surprised. Sasuke's eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped a little.
"Really, Master?"
I had to stop myself from splitting my cheeks open from smiling.
"Ya, is their something wrong with that?"
"Not at all Sir." He looked down to the floor refusing to look me in the eye.
"Good, now can you tell me why people can't see you, you know, so I know that I'm not insane?"
He looked back up to me with a grin.
"Only you can see me, for I am now bonded to you. And I am yours, so you can keep me secret if you like Master."
I knew I should not ask this but I felt the need to.
"So, how can I get people to see you…?"
He raised a finely painted eyebrow and spoke again.
"Well master, If you say, 'I relinquish my secret to you, you may now see my prize…' while the person closes their eyes, when they open them, they will be able to see me."
"Cool! O and Sasuke?"
"Yes sir?"
"Stop calling me Sir and Master…I'm Naruto just Naruto."
"Yes…Naruto"
"Great!"
Sasuke gave a small smile and stood up straight again.
"O, last thing, how do you serve me, like, what can you do?"
Sasuke's smile now turned a little evil as his eyes darkened.
"I can kill whoever you like, and make anyone's biggest fear come to life… Will, my best known power, is fear and, death…"
"What???"
