She didn't know what or where she was, it seemed she had no physical form ...she just, was. She could see, hear and smell but she knew that she was not. She was not something or someone . From what she could tell she was in a room, at the end of a room and on the other end of the room is a thing. A thing she knew to call a baby. The baby had short tufts of blonde hair , icy blue eyes and it was small and chubby looking but it didn't move like she somehow knew a baby should, it sat still and unmoving as if it was merely a shell and someone needed to enter it. She needed to enter it.
"I can't let you get into that baby. " A voice . It was low and hoarse but it was a females voice . She could see the person next to her or not so next to her since she did not have a physical form. The person was kind of tall, they had long blond hair in a pony tail and icy blue eyes like the baby, this girl looked torn and worn out, weak even. "My name Is Ino yamanaka and so are you . At least you will be, no well ,you would have been...I'm sorry but I'm not gonna let you be born , I'm taking your place. " A strange kind of panic erupted within her. What was this Ino talking about. She tried to voice some of her thoughts.
"Where is this place?"
Ino furrowed her brows. " hard to explain. Your in the womb,You've yet to be born yet or conceived into the outside world. This is just where you'll stay until your mother goes into labour. In a few days ,you'll know when, one of us just has to allow ourselves to become one with that body, it's going to be me, "
"if it's you then what'll happen to me? "
"you'll cease to exist , you won't BE anymore. "
"if it's me that's supposed to become, to be , then why are you taking my place? "
Ino yelled. " you don't deserve it!!! "
"who are you to decide that!?"
"I need to do this i need a second chance!!!"
SHE grew angry. She desperately wanted to know what it was like to BE , what it was like to exist, this person was going to take that away.
"how do you know? How do you know I don't deserve to exist, what have i ever done!? "
Ino grew livid. "that's just the thing you've never DONE anything!!! You wasted away at the academy ! Your proud of little textbook skills and never bothered to train or make something of yourself. You let Sakura surpass you, you couldn't save your sensei! All we did was Pine over that Uchiha and when FINALLY we got over him! You let the people that you love most in the world die!! Because you couldn't do anything to help, you were weak!!! " Ino cried .
"I don't understand , I didn't do any of these things, " She felt a strange sense of guilt and sadness , who were all those random names?
Ino sighed. "I'll show you, what you did, "
Ino walked out the room and SHE followed somehow. They ended in up something she knew to call water, Ino was swimming but SHE just WAS.
They stopped and an Image appeared , she saw a boy, blonde, same age as Ino and he looked 'NOT' he was beaten and battered in the middle of a raining battlefield of a bunch of other people that was ' NOT' .
"That boy," Ino spoke . "He's everything to us , to me, his name's Naruto Uzumaki, he's amazing and kind and so strong and brave the world has never once deserved him and he's dead now! "
SHE felt strange , that boy was someone important to her that she would die for but she didn't know him.
The image changed and though it was the same battlefield She no longer saw the blonde boy, another boy the same age as Naruto, with brown hair and red fang marks on his cheeks , he was also 'NOT'
His head lay on the lap of a redheaded girl, she 'WAS' . The redheaded girl stared at his face and cried, her tears dripping onto his forehead as she stifled sobs.
"That's Kiba and Tayuya, he is her everything and they make up the rest of my precious people, Tayuya is my best friend despite meeting in rather challenging circumstances, her and Kiba and Naruto they made me more than I was and I dug their grave because WE were lazy and selfish and weak! Kiba's dead , so is Naruto and Tayuya will have to live on without him, without ever seeing the life they planned together, we planned together! "
SHE felt horrible, SHE wanted to help.
SHE spoke. " this is the future, it's because of me? "
Ino nodded.
"then I'm sorry, "
"what?? "
"please take my place, please be born, "
Ino's tired face tensed. " your just letting me? "
"these people , I don't know them but they hold me very highly just by looking I know how much they care for me and for me to have caused them pain...is unforgivable. So please...if you can do anything to not let that happen then I beg you please take my place! "
Ino's face looked conflicted before it softened. "if you had a physical form, I'd punch you, so hard.
She was confused. "why,I'm letting you take my existence!? "
"just listen closely. "
"first of all. Naruto Uzumaki! When your born find him as soon as your able. Protect and be his friend because he will need someone. "
"wait why are y-"
"I said don't interrupt me! "
"secondly, find Kiba Inuzuka, Naruto will need him by his side, we will all need him by ourside. Tayuya will join us eventually , pay attention to one Jiraiya of the Sannin, look out for a Sakura Haruno and... "
Ino's voice trailed. "look out for Sasuke Uchiha , he started that whole war with some help but...I don't know if he's a good or bad person, Naruto and Kiba will decide. "
"your going to let me exist? "
"I am, I was being selfish before. I'm sorry. "
"thank you, "
"I can't risk telling you too much , things might change too badly but be very careful at the chuunin exams, don't trust Kabuto, Gaara is good and...at least shoulder lenght hair or braid it, no frilly little skirts and train hard. "
Ino stopped to think. " Naruto's father is one those stone faces. Think about Naruto's birthday and you'll figure the rest out. Um...also! It's called gender equality so don't go punching Naruto into walls unless he can hit back. Uh...no diets ! Ninjas don't need them and don't try to change Naruto's color scheme if he likes the color you have no right judging it but get him home cooked meals cuz ramen is not good nutrition. Uh...let's see...be nicer to Shikamaru and Chouji. "
SHE had no idea what future her was saying but she would do her absolute best.
"I promise , I promise you Ino I'll make things right, Kiba , Naruto and Tayuya and me , we'll have a happily ever after and we'll go on lots of adventures and be strong and have fun together all the time, I'll make sure to take care of all of them this time,I promise! "
"thank you, "
And then she disappeared.
Tayuya sat in the middle of the war stricken battlefield, Kiba's head was growing heavier and colder on her lap. She wished and prayed to any God that would listen for him to wake up but he didn't. Rain fell and the air grew cold and she thought about their village the one they had planned to build-create- with Naruto as the Kage and Ino wanted to help orphan kids and she...She just wanted to stay with everyone and have fun and fucking help people too even though she never told them that.
Suddenly everything stopped,the wind stopped blowing and the rain stopped falling even though she could still see it...frozen in mid air. Nothing moved, not the trees,the clouds the moon seemed to be shining less.
"Tayuya! " she turned and saw her best friend Ino yamanaka running towards her, Tayuya gently placed Kiba down and ran to Ino.
"Ino, Kiba he's dead, he won't wake up ! "
Ino took her hand. "it's okay , I ... I did a thing, I think everything's going to okay, "
"then Kiba? And Naruto? "
Ino smiled. "they''ll wake up,I promise. "
Tayuya looked at Kiba lying dead on the floor.
"ok then" she smiled then scowled,snatching her hand from Ino's. "don't hold my hand! I'm fucking Tayuya I don't hold hands! "
OKAY THAT'S all FOLKS! IF NO ONE realized this A NARUINO story as well as Kiba x Tayuya but this FIC is not romance centric i really just wanted to write action but this idea came to ME.
Leave a review and enjoy the rest of the STORY. I do not own NARUTO or any CHARACTERS. Unless I explicitly say I own the character it's probably not MINE.
