Prologue

Another mark was added to his growing collection as he once again passed the razor over his sun kissed skin. He watched in morbid fascination as the crimson liquid ran down the blade to a growing pool on the floor. If anyone found out he did this they would think that he had cracked from the pressure, but that was the furthest thing from the truth. He cut for the pain, the sense of reality that it brought, his connection to the living while so closely joining the dead.

A knock followed by a males voice brought him out of his blood caused stupor. Muttering a quick shit, Naruto rushed to hide the evidence of his actions. He had gone on for 12 years, he did not want to be found out now. Slipping on his ever present mask and doing a quick double check for any traces of blood, Naruto opened the door to admit Iruka into his small but clean apartment.

'Hey Naruto, do you want to go for ramen? I know you have a mission tomorrow, so I thought you would like to.'

'Really Iruka-sensei! Well what are we waiting for then, its ramen time!' Naruto yelled while grabbing Iruka's arm and dragging him away from the door.
