Summary: Naruto and Sasuke are in an orphanage for children who are mentally ill. Naruto hears the voice of the dead kyuubi, while Sasuke cannot forget the day, his brother destroyed his family. Will The two ever be able to get out of the orphanage or will they be stuck there until their minds consume them from the inside out?

Well, hey everyone. This is my first ever attempt at a fan fiction, so I hope everyone likes it, enjoy. :)


"Kit, Just do it. No one will notice if you take the money. It's just laying out there for all the world to see. It's almost begging to be stolen."

"No, stop it! I can't hear you. You're not real. Everyone says you're dead, but how can you still be talking to me? Will you just shut up?" Naruto shouted in an attempt to get rid of the voice.

Kyuubi went quiet and, almost simultaneously; the attendants came in.

"Naruto, Naruto? Are you alright? Did it happen again? You have to remember it's all in your imagination." They would always say this. Their empty words were like being slapped across the face.

"They don't care. They're just doing their job. They all think you're crazy. That you should be locked up, even killed. They hate you, and you know it." Kyuubi spat the words out at him probably trying to make him hate the demon even more.

He could almost feel the tears welling up in my eyes, but he knew they would never come. Any tears the blond would have had had already been used up a long time ago.

They asked again, "Are you alright Naruto?" They asked looking almost sincere about the question.

The fox calmed down and smiled back at them with the biggest smile he could muster, "It's okay now; I'm fine. Nothing is wrong. I just hit my head is all."

After hearing the statement they left, satisfied by the few words that had been spoken. As if they thought he was actually clumsy enough to hit his head in a room full of nothing.

The emptiness inside him, however, did not leave. It just ached, and consumed. He no longer cared any more. He didn't need others, and they didn't need me. All he had to do was put on a happy mask, give them a quick lie, and they would leave him alone.

Naruto was alone. There would never be anyone except him and Kyuubi.


The flames engulfed everything. It's amber tongue licking at my flesh. He could feel the pain radiating from where the flames had touched him, and he cried out for help. "Mother, Father, Itachi! Where are you? Please, help me!"

Sasuke dragged myself to the exit, hoping that maybe. He could save myself.
Finally, crawling into the front room, he could only to see his Mother and Father's bodies on the floor, lying in a pool of blood reflecting the light of the flames.

Above their bodies was Itachi; Sword in his brother's hand. It's blood dripping down the cold metal, landing directly on top of his Mother and Father's freshly sewn bodies.

The raven backed up. Hoping that Itachi wouldn't notice him.

"Brother, where are you going?" he asked in a voice as cold as the sword. "I thought we would have some fun, but I've decided you aren't worthy of that. You're too low even to kill."

Itachi's words cut him, as though he struck out with the blade itself.

"Why don't you come find me when you become a real man, when you actually have the guts to face me?" He laughed then, a laugh of pure evil, and left.

He stayed there watching his brother leave, watching the house collapse around him, watching his Mother and Father's bodies get eaten up by the flames. He watched as the world went dark.

Sasuke woke in a cold sweat. It was the same never-ending dream of his downfall. It haunted him. Night after night it followed him into the dark. And, each morning he awoke, time and time again, in the same cold sweat it left him with.

He needed to eliminate the feelings. He can't become attached to anyone's person again. He couldn't let the same thing happen twice.

He couldn't feel anymore.


Well, I hope you all enjoyed the opening. Please leave your comments, so I have motivation to post more. Thanks. (:
