Well here's something I wrote, I'm putting it up here just so you can get a taste of my writing style. I hope you like it..if not then hey I tried...This may become a chapter story if I can get enough reviews, and the pairing will be SasuNaru of course.
Slipping Mask...
Large rocky beige colored mountains carved into the faces of many great
leaders overlooked the village below. Each carved face in the mountain
represented the great things that each leader had done for the village at one
time. It was around the middle of june as night approached the sun was setting,
shadowing the land with a blanket of red, orange, and pink hues. Many people
in the village were at the end of a days work and were closing their clothing
shops, some closing their food, markets while others like blacksmiths packed up
their various weapons to go home to their families, something that I did not
have.
It was a very nice night. The crisp clean air combed through my spiky
blond hair and my azure eyes shined bright. I sat upon the top of one of the
mountain's carvings watching the village below me, wishing I had what they
had...a family. I'm an orphan...both of my parents are dead. Both died the day I
was born.
This is my home, my birthplace, my village though I am not wanted here.
It is always a cover up, a facade to be down in that village, the place that
hates the very air I breathe, hates the fact that I even exist. I hide behind this
facade to protect myself from the cruel and hateful ways shown to me by the
villagers. They know me as the bunbling happy go lucky ninja, but on the inside
I am nothing of the sort. My smiles are fake, everything about me is fake. The
insaults they spit at me, burn and hurt worse than any physical pain, though no
one knows but me, as I try to hide my pain with ignoring them and smiling.
That is why I sit here ontop of this mountain, so that I am able to let go of
that facade and let my true emotions through, even if for only a short time. This
is important to me, to keeping myself under control. Here I can be angry, cry,
and even smile if I want to, with knowone judging me for doing so.
I pick up the sand on the ground and let it run through my fingers
dropping on the small patches of grass below. Then I let my fingers trace the
gracks of this mountain, symbolizing how old it really is. It is over a hundred
years old...it has seen much in it's time of life.
I smile, I've known this place for so long. Back when I was a kid I would
put graffiti all over the faces of this mountain and by night be scrubbing them
clean with a brush and a pale of soapy water. Back then this place really never
meant anything to me, it only symbolized what I was not and what I may never
be. Then releaving my emotions meant nothing, I didn't even really see how
cruel people were to me. All I knew was that none of the children liked me and
that I had no family, that I was alone. I always thought that maybe it was
something I had done, something that made them hate me. Then as I grew
older I realized that I had done nothing wrong, the reason why they hated me
was becuase of what was inside me, the Nine tailed fox demon. It had been a
secret kept from me for twelve long years. Although I've had it's spirit in my
body since the day I was born, when it attacked my village and almost
destroyed my home. At the time there had been no other choice, I was the only
newborn for the job. The fourth hokage thought that I would be a hero for
housing such a thing but he was wrong. I am thought of as a demon, a monster
not fit to walk this earth. That was when this place really became important to
me. I finally saw what it could be and how it could help me in my life.
I've been comming here for a long time, nine years now. As I said before
it keeps me under control and safe from letting all my walls crumble infront of
the people of the village. Breaking those walls would only give them pleaseure
that they had hurt me so badly, that their taunts had had so much effect on me.
This finally leads me to my dream, the dream that I have had so long,
ever since I could remember. I've always wanted to lead this village, to show
theses people that I am no monster, that I am worth more than they think. I
know that sounds crazy, but I would die in order to protect this village, to keep
the people that despise me safe. This is another reason that I come here, it gives
me hope to be on the Hokage mountain. It also gives me reasurance
that maybe one day I can lead this village and do many great things for it.
Maybe I can even finally see what it feels like to be loved by people to be cared
for. That is something that I have never experienced. Comming here can do
many things for me but love is one thing that not even this place can give, for
love can only be given by another person. I know that this dream may not come
true, but it is still good to wish, to hope and to try my best to achieve it. All I
know, even if I do become the leader of this village or not I will never forget
this place ever and all comming up here so many times, has done for me.
