They'll Never Catch Me.
I always did things as fast as possible. People would scold me for running head first into things without a second glance, despite what they would call obvious reasons. I never really thought of the reasons things happened… I just knew that they needed to happen. Thinking was never my favorite thing to do, and I didn't do it often. It usuallymeant you had to stop and consider a lot of things, things that I never understood and didn't want to understand. If I went fast then I would reach my dream even faster. That was all I needed to know, get up, train, get stronger; that was all my life required. Thinking too much always made me sad. It made me notice things that I didn't want to notice. Thinking of things, remember things that would only hurt me. My goal was my future and it kept my mind off of the past and the present.
Ero-sennin always told me I was like an explosion of energy, propelling forward through all the challenges he put me through and never stopping, and that was exactly what my life was supposed to be like. I was supposed to go so far forward I would out run all my thoughts, all my doubts and all my boundaries. Nothing could catch me, and nothing could stop me.
I guess it was that way of life that led me to where I am. Not thinking about what I was doing and just doing it. I always thought that thinking made you mess up, so if you didn't think everything would turn out just fine.But here I am, in the arms of the enemy, not thinking about the past - which got me here - and just thinking of the future, which doesn't seem as bright as I had once envisioned. I just tell myself that I can't go back, not to the way it was or even my old home. This is my home now, in the cold embrace of his arms and there is nothing I can do, so I don't think about it. But in darkest corner of my mind, I can't help but want, crave, to return to those smiling faces and warm embraces of my old home that I gave up when all hope had been drained from me.
I guess I should have been thinking a little harder; I was so naïve… but as they say: hindsight is 20/20.
AN/ Yeah, yeah… It's all crappy. I did this in the middle of the night in 5 minutes when I had a sudden burst of inspiration on the matter. This is supposed to be a little babble in Naruto's head during events that are to come in my not yet completed story: "Laughter is the Best Medicine". I know some of you are still waiting for the 3rd chapter, and I'm sorry to inform you that I have some serious writers block and my heavy workload in school isn't helping either.
Hopefully I'll have a new chapter up within the month (hey, I'm only human!) Review and take a gander at my otherstories.
