Haunted?
By: Silverwolf
Eight years ago mud slides and floods destroyed most of the Uchiha family. Three years ago the whole Uchiha estate burned to the ground taking the parents of the surviving Uchiha family. Two days ago Itachi Uchiha died suddenly choking on his own blood. No one was ever given an answer as to where the sole surviving member of the Uchiha could be found. The race began to find the missing heir to the fortune before it and the company was lost in history. He would be sixteen.
Naruto sits bored by a lecture for school being held within the largest library. Rumors between his classmates stated that the library was haunted. This was why light sometimes flickered around the grand building. Naruto had laughed at their comments. Though the ghost stories did make him uncomfortable.
He he sends his time peeking around the shelves of book instead of listening to the lecture. Naruto jumps a bit when he thinks he sees someone move between shelves out of the corner of his eye. When he actually turns that way there is nothing to see. For a moment he laughs nervously.
Kiba pinches naruto sending the blonde leaping from his seat with a yelp. The blonde lowers his head as his classmates begin laughing. His teachers give him an order to apologize and be seated. Naruto follows the orders embarrassed. He narrows his eyes at Kiba only to hear the Inuzuka snicker.
Naruto glances towards the tops of the towering bookshelves to notice preserved animals. There were a few suits of armor near the exits. The place had a rather creepy vibe to it if anyone asked the blonde. The ghost stories hadn't helped at all. Naruto once again thinks he notices someone moving about from the corner of his eye.
During the lecture a note begin to circulate about an overnight stay at the library. Of course the doors would be locked. The students would be allowed access to the resources available all night. Naruto swallows nervously open reading the note. Why had he agreed to take part in the field trip to being with? Oh, he remembered now... because if he had refused the whole student body would've deemed him a coward.
Naruto looks towards his sleeping bag and backpack now unhappy with the idea of staying in the haunted library. Ino laughs a moment as Naruto slides away from her touch. "You're not afraid of ghosts are you?" Naruto looks at the blonde.
"I don't believe in ghosts." Though Naruto had said the sentence it didn't convince him the ghosts didn't exist. Naruto follows behind the rest of his classmates as they are showed the area will they will sleep. Naruto stares through the other room holding different points of the library's collection of books while the staff tells the students that the staff rooms are off limits.
Naruto jumps when he believes he sees a face staring at him from within one of the empty rooms. With a blink the blonde doesn't see anyone. This time Sakura notices Naruto's reaction. "Don't tell me... you saw a ghost?" She laughs a bit. Naruto looks at her with narrowed cobalt eyes. "I'm not sure what I saw."
As many students begin to ready their spaces to sleep. Other browse books. Naruto sits instead of doing either. He stares towards the ceiling of the library trying to sort out what he'd seen. He was so certain that there had been someone staring at him from a room that was supposed to be empty.
Naruto still had to decide if he'd imagined it all because of the rumors or actually seen someone staring at him through the panel of glass in the door. Either way the blonde had the rest of the night to decide. Naruto's eyes go a bit wide as he notices a beam of light from the very top of one of the large bookshelves. Something was definitely strange about this library.
The blonde can hear the russlting of pages as everyone around him comes back into sight with different books. Some doing class research others just having fun. Naruto doesn't notice when Kiba pokes him in the side. His eyes are still locked on the beam of light above the shelves.
