Faster than the Wind
Summary: Ino and I were inseparable; the best of friends. But all friends have problems, and one day, those problems will slap you in the face! And it all started with a text..
A/N: Hi everyone, Thank you for taking the time to read the first chapter of my new story! I can not tell you how much I appreciate it. I hope the prologue intrigues you to come back and read chapter 2!
As always here is the disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. That honour belongs to the outstandingly creative and illustrious Kishimoto.
Prologue:
My ears rung and my breath was caught in my throat. The slap across the face had locked my body into shock.
I must have looked like a complete idiot as I stood there like a mannequin, completely frozen in place. Time seemed to slow and I was engulfed by the sound of whispers all around me. It was though the sound had permeated through my skull and was constricting my brain.
I couldn't think.
I couldn't move.
I couldn't breathe!
I shut my eyes trying to concentrate on my breathing and to draw out the whispers.
Suddenly a voice, clear as day, spoke which pulled me from my current state. At first, I felt relief. But, as I looked up to the direction of the voice, I felt a pang in my chest. I clutched my now throbbing cheek. Tears sprung to my eyes and threatened to fall, but I did not let them.
Now stood before me, was the one that I was closest to, the one that I had looked up to, the one that I had trusted, and the one that had now left a very prominent mark upon my cheek.
Ino. My best friend.
She looked at me with anger in her eyes and everything finally went silent. I breathed a sigh of relief as the ringing in my ears had finally stopped. My head still spinning from what had happened, I caught her mouth moving as though she was speaking to me, but I heard no words.
I looked at her blankly, and when I made no reply, she spun on her heal and walked away.
I continued to stare at her retreating figure until she was lost in the crowd.
We use to be inseparable; the best of friends.
How did things end up like this?
The text that made my New Year's Eve.
A/N: Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read the prologue.
I will be uploading Chapter 1 in the next few days, so look out for that!
Please feel free to leave a review with any comments or advice you may have for me. It would be greatly appreciated :)
See you all for Chapter 1!
