Into the Darkness

Chapter one: The Beginning of the End

Take everything left from me

All… to… blame

How can we still succeed taking what we don't need

Telling lies alibi's selling all the hate that we breathe

Supersize our tragedies born in the land of the free

And now were all to blame we've fallen so far from pride to shame were trying so hard were dying in vain were hopeful and blissful and blind to all we are. We want it all with no…… Sacrifice

Kaori sat on her bed listening to her iPod which was playing one of her favorite songs

"All to Blame" by Sum41.

She stretched and sighed it was 1:06 AM and she wasn't even tired, bored yes, but not tired. Kaori sighed again and crawled off her bed. She walked over to her door and opened it slightly she peeked out there was no one in the hallway so she silently stepped out and closed the door behind her. She tiptoed down the hallway pat her brothers and sisters rooms past her mother and fathers room and down the stairs.

Everyone wants it all don't we all.

The song ended as she was walking down the stairs she stopped and looked at the device in her hand another song started up

"Whispers in the dark" By skillet.

She continued down the stairs and into the entrance parlor she crossed the parlor and made her way to the front door. They were glass double doors with white frames and white lacey curtains she looked back before unlocking and opening the door.

She closed the door quietly behind her and walked down the steps towards the path lined with frilly fashionable flowers that her mother picked out she rolled her eyes at the display in the yard, bushes snipped into shapes of animals and a fountain with a sculpture of a fish spurting water out of its mouth it was probably deemed fashionable to have such inane displays by the lady's club her mother attended. When it was deemed no longer in then they would be torn down and replaced by whatever was in

(LOL I got this idea from "The Series of Unfortunate Events" book 5 by Lemony Snicket.)

she continued down the path and out to the street. She walked quietly down the deserted street past dark big houses with like displays of hilarious magnitude, past the lacey curtains blowing through open windows to the slight summer breeze that whispered through her hair with equal velocity, past the muffled snores of the old man, past the nosey neighbor who finally leaves their window from which they peek to welcome rest, past the trickling fountains placed precisely in each yard. Kaori breathed in the night air it was refreshing and sweet.

She walked away from the sleeping street into the dark night. She came to a run down garage with load techno music booming out. She walked into the open garage it smelled of stale instant ramen and exhaust.

"KAORI-CHAN" shouted a blonde boy as he glomped her

"Hey naruto-chan can you let go of me can't b-rea-the"

naruto was smothering her in a bear hug he released her and sat back on his heels "sorry kai-chan I was just excited to see you hardly ever visit me here" naruto gave her a puppy dog pout and even made a whiney noise like a fox kit. Kaori rolled her eyes over dramatic as always that naruto she wasn't even mad.

"so what are you doing here this late anyways kaikai and in your pajamas" said naruto as he stood up and scratched the back of his head with a big grin on his face

"so have you decided to take up my 'offer' kaori-chan" he said as he got in her face "as if 'loser'" she said as she pushed him away

"I was just bored and I knew you would be up since your practically nocturnal so I just came down here to hang out but if you want me to go well-"

"no, no stay its cool we can hang out I'll make ramen and we could watch a movie"

"ok, but I'll make the ramen you have a habit of forgetting to add water. Why don't you pick the movie?" she walked around naruto to the crate with a microwave sitting on it next to a small fridge with a cupboard filled with so much ramen packs that the door wouldn't close

"what about a horror movie kai-chan?"

"Sure whatever"

Kaori opened the cabinet and ramen cups came crashing down

"jeez naruto got enough ramen"

naruto came bounding into the kitchen area carrying a stack of movies to chose from.

"sorry Kaori-chan" naruto offered her his hand to help her out of the pile of ramen cups he release her hand as she stood up all the way "I went to the store yesterday and when I got home there wasn't enough space to fit it all " naruto itched the back of his head and gave her a big goofy grin.

kaori picked up four cups of extra spicy chicken flavored ramen and walked over to the table she peeled back the lids of each one and went over to the small sink in the corner to fill them with water she popped them in to the microwave and set it to 3 minutes.

" Okay so it's down to either saw I, II, or III, or Ginger snaps" naruto said as she turned around he was standing next to his beat up yet comfy sofa

" um, I gotta go for ginger snaps I love that movie."

"Okay." Naruto went up to the flat screen T.V that looked like it didn't belong there at all and put the Ginger Snaps into the D.V.D player. kaori got the ramen out of the microwave and her and naruto sat and watched the movie while eating ramen.

Kaori was half asleep by the end of the movie naruto was asleep spread out and squashing her she looked over at the blinking clock it was 4:36AM she needed to get home quick or she wouldn't be able to get in unnoticed.

She pushed and prodded naruto until she was free the lug was still fast asleep she rolled her eyes and stretched up "naruto that idiot letting his human pet run around so freely " came a cool, calm voice from behind her.

Kaori wurled around but didn't see anybody, then a figure in the shadows stepped towards her it was a guy about her age with raven black hair and piercing red eyes as he came closer her instincts told her to run to get away while she still could but she couldn't move she felt like she was stuck staring into the deep red eyes of this stranger for eternity.

Some how she found her voice" who…who are you?" the guy stopped advancing on her and smirked

"I'm Uchiha, Sasuke"
