Well, my first story I've uploaded here has began at last. It was promised to a friend of mine months ago, and I could never work out what angle I wanted to work from until now. Sorry Mae! Hope you enjoy it now I've finally started! Anyway, this is just the opening at the moment, so review if you want, and remember to come back for more if you like it!

The screams of the dying seemed to follow him as he ran, fled the village he had just ripped to bloodied shreds... or maybe those were his own screams. The forest he moved through seemed to be falling apart around him, as though life itself were rejecting it's destroyer, the one who had torn it from so many. Wind rushed past him, tearing at his body and soul, dragging the burning tears from his eyes as he tried to escape his fate, a cold cruel laughter echoing in his mind... the laughter of a demon he had long ago shaken hands with, one he thought he could control. Now he knew how foolish he had been, and how dearly it had cost him, his entire life engulfed in a single blazing rage.
He had to keep moving, that was the only thing that still made sense... run, escape, survive. Survive to survive again, eternally running... could he really escape what he had done? The demon's laughter seemed to scorn his futile actions, the cold truth of what he had done seemed to drag him down, slow his movements. Finally, he stopped atop a mountain as the pain inside him became too great to continue. He remembered the words of his sensei so long ago...
"Sensei... you were wrong... I truly am just a monster fox..." Naruto fell to his knees, and cried into the night, emptying his soul to the wind...
And still, the demon's laughter echoed around him.

Gasp! Excitement and angst... sort of. Updated more soon. Doesn't flow as well as I hoped it would, but ah well. Hopefully it'll get better once I get into it more.
