All That Lies in Darkness
Lately she was suffering from insomnia because of that dream, and tonight she was having it again. Her lack of sleep was really having an effect on her and was interfering with her daily life, including her secret life as the Blind Bandit. She woke up again only to discover that nobody was awake, so it must have been about two in the morning. She then decided to go back to sleep, and the dream began again. It always began with a childish voice, saying he wanted to win and finally take down the last of the Knights of Loch Eve Lo and find the last sanctuary free from his control Loch Eve Lo itself. He would send out armies of soldiers that would always fail at claiming him his prize and thus got him mad he had long since gone crazy and complained about how he should win and how they could never stand a chance against him but they always seem to top him and his armies. This would make the girl laugh, until he finally won and slaughtered everyone. But this time she did not wake up in her room, and everything went

black, and she could feel nothing.
He was training by the river once again using his shadow clones to help him practice his taijutsu. He had been born the night a demon attacked his village, so the demon was sealed inside him that night. Thanks to this he had enormous chakra reserves from which he could access so he did not really have to worry too much about running out of chakra while he fought in his many battles. Then there was an explosion and his senses went black.
"A voice found in darkness. I am all that remains. I will lead you back to the light. my friends, I will be your guide in this darkness which is eternal. I am your way out of the darkness. being one born in darkness with my soul as black as death, I will lead you to your destiny, the destiny which will save the lives and souls of many. But this destiny, this great burden, lies on you my friends alone, but you will have many allies to help and guide you in this new world and save everyone from his threat!" said a voice in the darkness, the voice of a girl.
The boy awoke from this darkness from his dreamlike state and saw a boy in green clothes in bare feet with hair that seemed to be in a bun. 'Weird for a boy to have their hair in a bun…' thought the boy named Naruto who had awoken from his sleep only to discover that all he noticed was he was no longer in his village and this boy might be the only clue to where he might be.
He then decided to setup some kind of a campsite while the only other person was still unconscious. He also noticed he had some gaps in his memory and it really annoyed him to a great extent when he tried to remember something. He setup a makeshift tent and a fire pit after an hour or so. Now he was looking for some fire wood because he wanted to

have enough to last a few days. He really made quite a few mistakes today like dropping all of his ninja tools so that really slowed him down. He found a small stream nearby when picking up his ninja tools. He made a bed for the still unconscious boy who had been near him when he had woken up.
'Huh, where am I?' thought the girl as she saw nothing but darkness and heard a voice speak to her. She noticed that she had gaps in her memory and felt nothing. The only thing even heard since her dream went black was that strange voice. The voice had long since left but still it was an eerie phenomenon, going black then hearing a voice like that. She now started to feel the darkness, the blackness let up and release her senses, and she was now beginning to wake up from her dreamlike state.
Naruto was busy starting a fire since the sun was beginning to go down and was starting to get hungry too. He then noticed that he was waking up. "Hey there!" said Naruto as the boy woke up and looked over at him. "Where am I?" asked the boy as he responded to Naruto's question. "I was hoping you can tell me that…" said Naruto as he sneezed. "Oh…who are you? Because I don't know where we are but I would at least like to know who I am talking with!" said the boy with a know it all personality much like that of Naruto. "I am Naruto Uzumaki and I am going to be the next Hokage! Believe it!" said Naruto as he made a dramatic pose. "Well Naruto I have no idea what a hokage is and I don't care for I am the Blind Bandit!" said the so called Blind Bandit. "What you're a bandit?! No wonder I am here. This is all your doing!" shouted Naruto not realizing a key word in what had been said the word being blind indicating that the person was blind and could not see which could mean that the name Blind Bandit

might only be a title or a nickname. "This is not my doing, even I know that much if anything this was your doing!" accused the Blind Bandit. "How is this my fault? I wake up after an explosion and there you are. All I know is it was weird because it was like a feeling of nothingness after the explosion!" said Naruto. After awhile of this they just got tired and hungry.
There was a loud growl which startled Naruto to the point he almost jumped into the fire, him and the other boy calling himself the Blind Bandit were sitting around. "What was that?!" asked Naruto freaking out because of almost falling in the fire. "Oh sorry!" said the Blind Bandit "I am hungry, I feel like I haven't eaten in days!" the Blind Bandit had explained. "Oh…do you want some fish" asked Naruto holding out a fish he just cooked on a stick. "I don't need your pity!" snapped the Blind Bandit. "It's not pity it's you can pay me back later because this is about survival first above all else!" replied Naruto in a responsible voice a change from his normal. "Fine! I will eat you fish but I won't like it!" responded the Blind Bandit snatching the fish and practically eating it in one bite showing no manners at all.
They had decided to go to bed and so the Blind Bandit decided to use Naruto's makeshift bed to sleep for the night. "Thank you for taking care of me while I was unconscious and also for the food…" said the Blind Bandit. "No problem! I am sure you would do the same besides if we don't stick together in this strange new place we are probably not going to last very long!" said Naruto in a very hyper state. "You are very excided about this aren't you? You get excided easily too huh?" asked the Blind Bandit with a smirk. "You better believe it!" said Naruto with a huge grin on his face. "Well good night Naruto…" said the Blind Bandit as the two drifted off to sleep.
