Story: To make one's path.
Prologue
When you lost your path, where do you stray?
A raven haired man entered his cell, whit the same expression he always wore against his captive. It was sad, guilty and concerned. Naruto always got this nostalgic feeling whenever he was near. He felt the man's pain; he sympathized for him somehow even though he didn't know anything about him. Why such a man had been led down this rotten path was a mystery to him. Why hadn't anyone helped him, it was obviously a innocent soul deep down in him that just needed to be grabbed and helped to break through that decayed façade. The man handed him a limp of bread and ordered him to eat. Naruto did as he was told, he ate fast as he always did. Not only was he hungering to death since he only got feed every other day but also because he really enjoyed what came after. The seemingly emotionless man always stayed to listen to him blather on about irrelative things. This was Naruto's favorite moments. It was the only moment he got to feel like a real person, not like an animal. The man gave his usual snort at his comments about everything and nothing. There was the usual silence that always filled the room before the man always stood up to leave, without a single word but this time was different. As he reached the door he turned back to face the blonde. "why is it that you are always so happy? We put you through daily torture and you can still sit here and smile a earnest smile at me and talk to as if I was not one of them, one of them whom treat you like you were a something, a monster, why is that?"
Naruto looked puzzled at the question. "I don't really have anything to compare too, this is all I know… but I probably wouldn't have those earnest smiles if it weren't for you. And you are wrong; you do not treat me like a monster."
The man's guilt features took his face as he turned it away in shame. "I'm sorry" he whispered.
"For what?"
"For bringing you here, you do not deserve this."
"Well… like I said, I wouldn't know, would I? It actually makes it a lot easier." He said smiling one of his signature smiles. The man smiled a little and walked up to him and put his fingers on his neck. He pressed them against his skin while mumbling something non-understandable. Naruto felt the pain from the sessions earlier that day weather away. "Thank you…" he mumbled as he felt his body fall into a welcomed sleep. "It's Sauske by the way… my name that is."
"oh, really… well, thank you Sauske…" He whispered before he fell asleep on the rock hard floor.
