Author's Note: This is the first time I've written a story, and I want to ask for any constructive criticism you might have, as my main goal right now is to improve my writing. This is short, I know, but it's only the prologue, and I plan to increase the length of the following chapters quite a bit. Maybe 5000 words a chapter as a goal, though it seems daunting. Anyway, let me know if you like it. Also, I'm looking for a beta reader, if you're interested, just let me know and send me a link to some of your stories you feel best show your ability as a writer. Or, a story that you've been a beta reader for. Ah, and also, I do not own any characters except those that I create, and am merely borrowing a few of the characters from the show. If asked, I will promptly take down this story if the copyright owners express a problem with me borrowing a few of their characters.
Without further ado, I present:
For You
Prologue
It had happened in a moment, the ghastly image of the Lord of Death, Shinigami, rising above his blond foe's form as he finished the hand seals, and suddenly he was reaching for the Kyuubi's very soul, and he knew, then, that there was no way to fight such a power directly, no way to fight he who had mastered death.
As he was pulled, further and further into his new prison, he roared, expending as much power as possible to make one small change to the seal that would soon trap him in this pitiful infant, that was even now crying at the pain of a foreign power invading his body.
At that moment, he merely had to hope that his enemy would not notice in time to fix it, a small change that created a road between his prison and the realm of the Shinigami, a path to Hell itself, because if there was one thing all demons knew, it was that Hell was escapable. The road would be sealed, but his prison keeper would be able to open it, and he knew humans well enough to know that a road to the deceased, a road to departed loved ones would be traveled, no matter the cost.
