Chapter One
BREAKAWAY
--
I spread my wings and
I learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes
Till I touch the sky
Take a breath, take a chance, make a chance
And breakaway.

Naruto's normal calm blue eyes that hid behind his glasses shone with fury and undeniable anger. His fist shook with an itch to hit or punch anything near him, and he did. With surprisingly large strength and agility, the mirror that reflected Naruto's image suddenly cracked and separated itself into thousands of pieces. Splotches of blood decorated the flawless white carpet of Naruto's room.
Nei, the personal maid for Naruto, winced in partial fear and pity. Fear on seeing how the usually gentle and calm Naruto morphing into a destructive and angry beast. Pity for the white carpet that was stained with blood. Blood was always a bitch to wash out of carpets, not to mention white carpets.
Naruto didn't seem to notice the blood that was dripped down his fingers. The world was lost to him now. He didn't see anything, but only his distorted reflection in the broken mirror. He knew that this will happen anytime.
It was only sooner or later. A still chuckle escaped his mouth, startling Nei.
How can he ever expect a perfect life with looks like his?
Big, brown glasses hid his expressive eyes from the rest of the world, and perfect freckles dotted on his cheeks. Pale skin stretched over his body, and baggy clothes adorned on him. Konoha Gakuen's own fucking nerd, what could be more better than that?
And even better, he was clumsy, and his studying wasn't too good neither. Only his english, art and music were alright.
Oh yes. The next superstar. 3 in 1 package.
Cold chuckles continue to escape from his dark mind, and unknown to him, silent tears were falling down his face.
FLASHBACK
Naruto grinned while balancing books on one hand while his other hand was linked with Sai's warm ones. Is this was they call a perfect life? Balanced grades, great family, understanding friends and the best of all, the world's best boyfriend.
He knew that it was weird being a gay, but his father didn't mind. And his grandaunt, Tsunade, the top doctor of Konoha Hospital was urging them to make some man-babies in history. Naruto shivered at that thought. Luckily, his granduncle, Jiraiya, the principle of Konoha Gakuen, was only interested in looking a babes and boobs.
He sighed. Sai looked at him strange before offering to carry his books and they walked to class together. On the way, they overheard some gossiping females about some newbie coming. Naruto wasn't too surprised as newbies normally came in this month.
Suddenly, the double doors at the hallway banged open, and Naruto's widened.
Pink hair, pink lipsticks, pink earrings, pink hair band, an even darker pink outfit and a similar pink shoes on her feet that was at least four inches tall. Naruto almost rolled his eyes at the girl. Was she obsessed with pink or something? He was sure the girl would have painted her whole body pink if she could.
Her eyes were emerald green, but Naruto thought, that Gaara's eyes were much more mesmerizing and beautiful.
Naruto grimaced. He didn't want to criticize the girl, but then...the pink on her was just too unbearable. He tugged on Sai's hands, urging him to go. But all Naruto got was an unresponsive grunt. Blue eyes looked up to look at unfocused deep eyes, staring straight at the new pinkie girl.
The girl looked around for a while, before spotting Sai. She shook her hips widely, so unlike how a normal hips would be swaying, and smiled at Sai. She then glared at Naruto before walking off. The hall resumed to its normal chaos and many started to gossip about the girl.
"Sai, are you there? Let's go to class."
Only with that, Sai returned to the world and started to walk back to class with Naruto, albeit a bit unfocused. Naruto's mind thought of many possibilities of what that could happen, but he pushed that aside. That girl, is just plain bipolar.
Time passed, and each time, Naruto could feel Sai slipping away from him. There wasn't a warmth in Sai's hugs anymore, and their time together were getting lesser. Naruto dreaded for that day to come, and he tried to spend more time with Sai, but each time resulting into a nail stabbed into the heart.
Until that day, just a month before Naruto's birthday. It happened.
He remembered that they both of them were standing in Naruto's favorite place in the school, the rooftops, and it was quick. No second thoughts, no second words.
"Naruto, let's break up."
That day, Uzumaki Naruto died.
FLASHBACK END
No man was going to escape alive after insulting this Uzumaki here. A burning hatred was starting to kindle inside Naruto's body, and blue eyes glowered with anew energy. Something burst in his head, and he can feel the adrenaline of excitement and mischief. He wiped his tears away, and snapped his fingers.
Nei immediately stepped out of the shadows and bowed before her young master.
"Get me my personal beauticians. This time, Sai is going so down that he'll wish he's in hell."
