Demonic / Fate Talking
AN: I gained inspiration for this story from all the time travel, second chance, and world travel stories I have see. Still I consider this to be original since I have yet to see other people tell it quiet this way. The main character is an OC but naruto and the other are included in the story heavily. Meaning it won't be all about the OC but the interaction between her and the manga characters.
Also, this chapter is mostly the back story of my OC's. You can skip it if you want. All it does is tell you how they died, which world they came from, and how the basic personality traits they have. I put this here because I really don't like it when authors put flashback chapters in the middle of their work. Their OCs show no troubled past for like half the story then bam. We get a sudden revelation that this happy go lucky OC wasn't so happy and lucky when they were younger. This is here to show you that they actually have a reason for the way they act during the rest of the story.
This is rated M because the beginning of the story is very dark and contains death. After that the story will be light hearted and hopefully will bring you laughs at the misfortune of my OC.
Disclaimer: I do not own any character, manga, or anything else that was created by the original author of said series. This holds true throughout the rest of this story and the only exceptions are the OCs I thought up.
Two Worlds Similar Death
A white haired, blue eyed child ran through a snow covered forest as fast her legs could carry here. She never looked behind her to see if her caretakers were after her or not. All she thought about was her freedom from the prison she had once called her home. It wasn't until recently that she had come to realize her life was never hers to begin with. It was always in the hands of the strange man she had only seen two times total in her whole seven years of life.
Her first memories were of the compound and the many people with white coats. She had grown up under their constant observation and never thought it being strange. There were others kids there as well. Some of the other kids had extra arms and legs while others had weirdly colored hair and eyes like her. She never really paid attention to how some would disappear or how the people in white were always performing test on them. At the age of five it all changed when she met the man who held her life in his hands for the first time.
His snake like eyes and the ever present smirk when he look at his creations had made her shiver in fear. She had never learned his name but only that she and all the others were to live and die for this man. He walked through the children and pointed at her and others while talking to a man writing down what he was saying. To her relief the man had only stayed long enough to give orders to the others before leaving soon after.
The next day she and some others were rounded up and taken to another part of the compound. They were each assigned a new room and roommate they would be living with from then on. When she was first shoved into her room it was empty. She looked around to see one side of the room covered in clothes, weapons, and what looked like musical sheets. The other side she guess was hers since it was bare with only a small bed in the far corner. "Who the Fuck are you?" She jumped around to see a slightly angry looking pinked haired girl who looked a year or two older than her. "M-my n-name is Mio a-and I w-will be y-your roommate f-from now on." The girl looked anything but pleased and shoved her way past Mio to her side of the room "Names Tayuya and I don't care if you're my roommate or not. You stay on your side of the room and don't touch my stuff!" Mio only nodded meekly before she retired to her side of the room.
The next day she was taken into a classroom and her days of peace were replaced by days of harsh training. They always expected her to remember each everything they taught and have it down perfectly the next day. They kept telling her that she had to be exceptional for that was why she was born. She would stay up late to try and remember as much as she could so they wouldn't punish her. Even when she began to do good they did not praise her and only moved her on to harsher training. At the age of six they had started to train her by placing a cup of water in front of her and telling her to turn it to ice. She was confused on how they expected her to change it to ice without putting it into a freezer. Her confused expression only made her caretakers angrier and they often ranted on how she was a failed experiment for not living up to their expectations.
At age six she was able to perfectly freeze water that was contained in a cup and up to a small pond. Even with these improvements, her caretakers were never happy and continued to say she was not as strong as she should be at her age. By then her six year old mind had realized she was not a normal little girl. Everything about her screamed freak from her snow white hair and aqua blue eyes to her ability to control water and ice. It was soon after this that her second and final meeting with the scary man would change her life forever.
It started when for the first time in her life her caretakers had told her there would be no training the next day. Instead she was ordered to stay in her room and only come out during feeding time. For the most part she obeyed them, but she began to worry when she noticed that Tayuya hadn't come back to their room since breakfast. While they weren't friends, Tayuya was the only one who she had mostly talked to for her entire stay here. During lunch she had asked about where Tayuya was and they had snapped at her to be quiet and go back to her room. She had quietly obeyed until she reached the hallway to her room. That was when she saw the man a second time. His smirk was still in place like last time and he seemed to be especially pleased about something. His smirked only widened as he came to see her. "What is a trainee doing outside their room." He asked in a polite and amused voice. "I-I w-was c-coming back f-from l-lunch s-sir. I w-was h-headed towards m-my r-room as o-ordered. I w-wasn't d-disobeying your r-rules." The man merely chuckled and patted her head in a similar way a father would. "I know you wouldn't disobey me. I have seen the great improvement you have had over the years. I hope to see great things out of you as you grow older." Mio had to stop herself from shying away from the mans touch. "T-thank y-you s-sir. I r-really n-need to g-get to m-my room n-now." He grinned at her like a snake before walking by her "That's a good girl. Wouldn't want you to get in trouble now. Keep up the good work and maybe I'll come by to see you next time." He gave a weird laugh as he waved to her as he walked away.
When he disappeared from view, she felt her legs give out as she fell to the floor. That was the most terrifying thing she had ever went through. No training had ever made her feel that scared or horrified before. She looked down the hallway to her room then back to where the man had come from. Whatever had made that man happy couldn't be good. Could this be why Tayuya disappeared today? She felt a jolt of fear go through her body. What did he do to Tayuya? Does he plan to do the same thing to me? She remember how he said he may come back for her. Shivering she shakily stood up and began to walk down the way he had come from. She had to find out what was happening to the only person she even considered a friendly person in this compound. She followed the hallway to the end to see a staircase leading down. She hesitated looking back the way she came then back to the staircase that lead into dimly lit area. She hesitantly placed one foot after the other down the staircase. The further down she went the colder and darker it got. Before long she could barely she in front of her and she kept hearing something coming from below. The closer she got to the bottom the more clear the sounds became before she finally noticed that they were screams of pain. Scared she began to run back up the step to only pause when she recognized one of those screams as Tayuya's. '
Never before had she felt so torn, she could run away to her room where it was safe or try and help Tayuya. They were friends, she knew that but Tayuya was the closest person that may be one in this place. Hearing another pained scream from Tayuya caused her to make up her mind before she descended the rest of the way down the stairs. She came upon a balcony overlooking a huge training room full of kids that were slightly older than her. Here and there were a couple of doctors takings notes on the kids as they screamed in pain. She poked her head barely above the rail as she scanned the room for Tayuya. She found her near the top right corner screaming as she clutched the side of her neck. She gasped in horror at the sight. What are they doing to her! Her question was answered when the doctors below her began talking. "Over a third of them are already dead since they received his curse mark." Dead… you mean they are killing them!
"Whats the point in raising this damn freaks if all were doing is killing them."
"Quiet fool, if our lord heard you say that he would kill you."
"Easy there, I just don't see why he has to put his curse mark on any kid that shows any promise. Most die from it and all the time we put into raising them go to waste."
"It doesn't matter to him. If they can't survive something like receiving his curse mark than in his opinion they weren't worthy to be under his command."
"I still say it is a waste."
"Enough talking about this already. It seems that over half are dead now. You go tell the clean up crew their going to need more body bags."
"What! Why do I have to go tell them. Why don't you?"
"Cause I was put in charge of this and if you don't want to get demoted get you ass moving!"
"Fine, whatever, jeez you get put in charge of one thing and you act like you have always been the boss."
"Shut up and go!"
She watched as the doctor began to head towards the exit and her. She bolted up the stairs and through the hallway in a mad dash to her room. She opened her door and quickly slid inside while quietly closing the door behind her. Is that what I've been trained for all my life. She crawled into her bed and hid underneath the covers for the rest of the day. Is that my future?
The next day she was reunited with Tayuya. At first she felt relieved when she saw her walk through the door. "Tayuya your okay!"
Tayuya looked at her with an annoyed look. "Of course I'm okay. In fact I've never felt so good in my fucking life." Mio actually took a step back as she saw the crazed look on Tayuya face. "I've got this incredible new power and finally getting out of this fucking hellhole."
Mio looked at her in shock. "You're leaving?"
Tayuya sneered at her. "Of course I am. I going to be part of our lords fucking elite guards. I don't have to baby-sit your weak ass any fucking more."
Mio felt her heart ache at what she had said. "You d-don't m-mean t-that." she whimpered at Tayuya.
She laughed at her as she began to pack up her stuff. "Are you actually fucking crying. You more a baby than fucking thought you were. Makes me glad I don't have to see you fucking face anymore after today."
Mio sat stunned as she watched Tayuya finish packing. "Good Riddance" said Tayuya as she left their room. Mio merely sat there alone in her room as she tried to grasp what just happened. That wasn't Tayuya. There is no way that was Tayuya. She was always grumpy and moody. She also cussed a lot but she never looked at me coldly like that before. She never did call me weakling before either. Is… is it because of what happened yesterday. Did that mark thingy change her. She shook her head. She just didn't know what was going on anymore. She shivered when she remembered that she may end up just like Tayuya.
The next year pasted for Mio as a living hell. She never received another roommate and her training had only gotten harsher. She was afraid to good enough to receive recommendation for the curse mark, but also afraid of doing horrible for the beatings she would receive. She decided to show some progress but hide how far along she really was. Maybe she could trick them into thinking she wasn't worth the curse mark but also not completely worthless so they wouldn't get rid of her.
Sadly for the seven year old Mio, luck did not seem to be with her. She had received word from her trainer that their Lord was coming in a few days and that she and many others had been chosen to meet him. She had barely contained her gasp of horror and had merely nodded her head in acceptance. Once she made it to the safety of her room, she had broken down sobbing. She didn't want to die, she didn't want that damn mark, and she didn't want to become like Tayuya. It was those very depressing thoughts that brought her to make the very decision that caused her to be running in the first place. She was going to escape or die trying.
Later that night she had crept out of her room and silently crept down the hallways. Having lived here her entire life had caused her to know pretty much where everything was. She stopped by the washroom and filled a bucket full of water. This was her ticket out of here. Freeze the guard and run like hell. She carried the bucket carefully so she wouldn't spill any and arrived at the front gate of the compound. When she saw the guard she nearly laughed in joy. It seemed fate was on her side today since the only person guarding the door was asleep. She crept across the courtyard and stood before the guard. She quickly dumped the water across the man's body and began freezing it. The guard let out a strangled yelp as he jumped up to only fall over as his body become encased in ice. She quickly grabbed the keys of the guards table and began fitting keys into the keyhole to try and unlock it. She went through five keys before she finally heard the lock click. She gave a small squeak of joy and quietly opened the door to only come face to face with another guard.
"What are you doing! No ones allowed outside after dark!"
She tried to slip by him to only get caught by the arm and slammed against the wall. She gave small yelp of pain. "Trying to run away huh? Can't wait till our lord founds out about this." The man chuckled in delight as he thought of the punishment. "He'll definitely teach you not to run away." She struggled more as he pulled her towards the door. I don't want to go back! I'm so close to being free! She pushed against the guard with her free hand. The guard chuckled at her weak attempts to be free. "Try all you want little lass but you won't get away from me."
He dragged her back into the compound and stopped when he so the other guard frozen to the ground. He laughed as he insulted the man for letting such a little girl take him by surprise before he starting yelling for the idiots who were on night patrol. Mio only struggled harder as she heard others approach. This was her only chance to escape and it was quickly dwindling away. If only this man would let go of her. She looked up to see him grinning like an amused fool at her weak attempts to get away. For the first time in her life Mio felt hatred. "Let go of me you bastard." She swung her arm and hit him the chest with all her strength and hatred she could muster. The last thing the guard saw was an angry girl whose eyes flashed silver before his bloody icicles exploded from his chest.
Mio felt cold liquid splash across her face and hands. Next she felt the guards grip loosen before the guard himself fell down dead in front of her. She gaped as his body before she slowly lifted her bloody hand and stared at it. I-I k-killed s-someone! Her shock was quickly overcome by fear when she heard the approaching footsteps of the others. She gave one last look at the dead man before her as she ran out the door.
Now here she was running for her life being hunted by the very people who trained her. She skidded to a stop along a cliff that overlooked a lush forest split by a river. She wildly looked around to see that she was trapped. Behind her were her pursers and in front of her was a large drop from a high cliff. Stay and get captured or jump and hope she survives the fall into the river. She paused only a second before she jumped. The last moments of her life she felt the bone crushing force as she hit the cold water and the feeling of numbness overcome her as the water carried her away.

Why did I ever agree to go out with my friends to that party. I should have stayed home like a good boy and never told that lie to my parents. Yeah right, like I could actually do that while knowing my friends were having fun without me. Still dieing because you are drunk is not a very flattering way to go.
I lived the last year of my life in the city of Fort Worth in the great state of Texas. Was pretty much born and raised in the south. I was blessed with a high intellect but sadly many friends I had weren't. I wasn't exactly a bad son but I had my moment of rebellion when I was younger. Like how I secretly drank one of my dads beer when I was fourteen just to see what the big deal was about. Surprising I found out I liked it and was hooked on the stuff ever since. Sadly that one act put me on the rode to die four years later in a drunken accident.
The day I died started out like any other day. I was a second son of my parents and with the normal name of josh. I was also a senior in high school and was months away from graduating as a straight A student with an GPA of 3.9 but don't let those grade fool you. I was a party animal and often found myself waking up at a friends house with a headache. Surprising I was also the class clown, but don't think it was a cry for attention or anything. I just liked to make my friends laugh. Anyways back to how I died.
Graduation was coming up and us seniors decided to hold a huge party to celebrate our freedom from the blasted grip of high school. Of course when you hear high school party combined with seniors, you usually think 'hey free beer is definitely going to be there'. I was pretty much roped in when all my three best friends Michael, Ronny, and KJ decided to go. Hey if all my friends were going to a party then so was I.
Anyways the party was a blast and to top it off there was free beer! By now you noticed how I mention beer a lot. Yeah… I'm kind of hooked on it. Not much to do when you really enjoy it though. Apparently me and my friends forgot who was supposed to drive us home that night so we ended up all drunk. So we decided on a game of rock, paper, and scissors for who would drive us home. I know it was a stupid game that didn't really prove who was most sober at the moment, but hey I have a defense here. We were all drunk off our asses so it seemed like a good idea at the time. My friend Michael ended up winning the game when he used paper to defeat our scissors… Like I said we were all drunk.
So we piled into his dinky four door car. I don't really remember the name of the brand but hey it had a sunroof on it so it was pretty cool. Everything was going okay at first or at least I think it was since we made it halfway home before we died. Everything went bad when we started talking about what we would do in the future after graduation. That conversation was bound to come up since we just left a party celebrating the very event that will rocket us forward into the "Adults" world as my dad use to say.
KJ was the one who actually started us on the conversation when he suddenly blurted that he wanted to be a pilot. I'm not sure if that was the alcohol talking or not but it was a good dream none the less. He emphasized his declaration by sticking his upper body out the sunroof and pretended to be an airplane. I know that was definitely the alcohol at work there. Ronny ,who was sitting in the passenger seat, declared that he would join the military. He began singing army songs and pretending to march while holding an invisible gun. Michael joined in when he said he wanted to be a race car driver.
I should have known right then and there that comment would have caused nothing but trouble. However, I was currently preoccupied laughing my drunken ass off at the antics of my friends. The car begin to weave a little as Michael sped up as he pretended to be in an imaginary race. What it came to my turn, I merely sat there with a thoughtful expression on my face. I decided then and there that I had no absolutely idea about what I would be. The others started hounding me saying since I was the smart one in the group, then I should already know the future. Hey they got me confused with a fortune teller or something. I'm smart not physic. Michael turned in his seat to face me with a serious expression on his face while he lectured me on not knowing the future.
I merely stared at him dumbly while my alcohol fueled brain was trying to figure out what was wrong the picture here. Moments later a loud screeching sound and a collision with a truck going the opposite direction gave me the answer I needed. Only it was a little to late to do us any good. My friend in his drunken wisdom decided to leave the driving to the car. Now I really don't blame Michael for my death since we were all drunk as well. But I still say how the hell did the drunkest person in the car be the driver… Oh yeah, the rock, paper, and scissor game.
The first of us to die was my friend Ronny. One second he was in the front seat and the next his body went through the window shield and out into the night. The second person to die was Michael as the airbag went off. Now if you were sitting normally it probably would have help him but as you all recall his body was twisted to where he was looking at me. All I know was that the loudest and sickest sounds of bone being broke was heard as the airbag forced my friends front half to be looking in the wrong direction of his lower half. The third person to die was my friend KJ who was currently still hanging out the sunroof. The force of the collision caused our car to flip and KJ was body was ripped out the roof as his body was flattened into the road as the car skidded over him.
The final person to die was me. I count that as the most unluckiest way to die. I had in a matter of seconds watch my friends over my high school years die one after another in gruesome ways. They at least died quick as I was still stuck in the damn car went it went flying of the road and into a creek upside down. So I slowly drowned to death in freezing cold water trapped inside the car with my dead friend whose front half was looking at me. My very last moments were feeling of numbness and the sight of my dead friend eyes staring at me.

Fate slowly opened her eyes as an interesting scene played out before her. She smiled as one thought ran through her mind. This should make things much more interesting around here.
AN: Next chapter will be called Fate's Offer. This chapter was mostly to get a back story on my OCs and how they died. Next chapter is where naruto and the others will make there appearance.
