Chapter:1
Warnings: Contains Yoai, swearing, blood, Ocs, character death and gore.
Author Note: Okay think most of the grammar mistakes have been fixed and Sakura has been replaced by Karin because I think she fits the role more and Sakura will appear later on… Maybe… I don't like her too much…
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto so please do not sue this is purely fan made…
Naruto walked through a forest full of tall trees alone the shadows cast by the large trees, wind blowing his messy blond hair he walked not knowing where he was going or caring for that matter, His bright blue eyes had long faded to a dull shade he held a bundle tight to his chest, he was covered in blood and his white shirt had been torn away at revealing his sun kissed skin underneath.
"Shh it's okay…" He whispered to the bundle as he ducked under a dead tree that had fallen on its side. A whine came from the bundle and Naruto was quick to try quite it, he hid behide a tree as a sound was heard, he clutched the bundle close to him. He held his breath; he could hear footsteps coming closer and closer to his hiding place a snap from a twig only a few short feet away and then silence he held the bundle as close as he could to himself a bit of the blanket slipped off showing a tuff of Red hair underneath. "There you are!" Naruto whipped his head to the side and then darkness, the horrible darkness…
(-_-)
Naruto opened his eyes as the sound of a rooster crowing in the distance, he scanned the dark room he called home, cobwebs in the corners, the smell of mildew, yep this was his room all right. He wiped the sweat off his brow as he started up at the ceiling his back ached from sleeping on the cold stone floor, he glanced over to his best friend a small Cat he found as a kitten over six years ago.
"Alright Miso it's time to get to work!" He grinned at the Black cat it opened its blue eyes and yawned, stretching out its back then each of its legs. It looked at its master and let out a meow as Naruto scratched behide his ear. "Alright go get em!" Miso seemed to nod before he ran out of the room to go catch unwelcome guests in the large mansion. Naruto smiled at his pet's retreating back before standing up hearing a few of his bones creak in protest of the movement, Naruto groaned as he cracked his back and set off out of the room to attend to the daily chores of a Servant's life.
(=^-^=)
Naruto yawned as he finished hand washing the white marble floors of his mistress's stairway, so far he had cleaned the washrooms, swept the steps outside, beat the rugs, and dusted all the furniture, he wrung out his rag in the bucket and smiled as he saw Miso run off chasing a mouse that had come in from the barn.
So far so good Naruto thought as he stood up taking his bucket with him and walked over to the large oak doors and pushed them open letting the rising sun's rays in. He smiled at the sun another day that he made it to, Naruto counted his blessings he had to, he was an orphan with no future if the Mistress Tsunade hadn't taken him in he would be on the streets or worse. He gave a silent thank you to the sun before he walked out into the light a smile on his face; he walked over to the barn greeting the animals as he stepped inside.
"Hello Mrs. Horse how's the Foal?" He asked the beautiful white horse as it nudged its brown baby awake; Naruto smiled as scooped some of the hay into their Stable. "And how are you Miss Ino?" Naruto asked the small pot bellied pig as it snorted pressing its warm wet snout to his leg. "Alright here you go!" Naruto brought out a pile of Slop from last night's supper, he poured it into her trough and she slurped it up. "Hey have some manners!" Naruto laughed as he patted her soft head.
"Still talking to the animals Slave?" Naruto's dropped his smile as he heard the voice of his tormenter the one who had, scarred each of cheeks after he accidently broke her doll as a child. "Lady Karin what brings you out here?" Naruto asked turning around to face the spoiled red haired girl a fake smile on his face.
"I wanted to come see Kiri we have to go hunting today… I expect her to be clean and brushed!" Karin smiled and turned her long red dress trailed behide her as she walked back up to the door. "Oh and don't forget to bring my new clothes up to my room later, so that I may impress my future husband!" She called over her shoulder.
Naruto shuttered and felt sorry for the one she was to marry he was doomed, "Alright Mrs. Horse lets get you nice and ready!" Naruto smiled as he jumped over the gate that held her in and gently stroked her mane and began the process of brushing and washing.
(X-X)
Naruto stood in Karin's room which was painted a ugly (in Naruto's opinion) pink, every in her room was pink, Naruto rubbed his eyes as he placed her new Black dress on the bed along with a pair of red ruby boots, he quickly fled the room and out into the hall where lady Tsunade was waiting for him.
"Naruto I trust you are done with your chores?" She asked a smile on her young face, she wore her usual Green dress and jacket her hair tied down in two low sung ponytails. "Yes my lady…" Naruto bowed his head his own shirt and shorts dirty and worn out he had them for so long. "I see you need a new outfit I'll have one made right away!" Tsunade smiled before she looked sadly at Naruto's scarred face three whisker like marks on each cheek her daughter's handiwork.
"Your too kind my lady, you don't need to do that!" Naruto blushed as he rubbed the back of his head. "I insist after that day I own you much…" Tsunade looked at her feet if she had known about what was happening to Naruto well she was out shopping… "It's okay my lady!" Naruto said as he smiled cheering up his mistress until a loud bang was heard that made both of them jump. Naruto immediately took off down the stairs to make sure everyone was alright he knew that sound anywhere the sound of gun a going off.
He ran through the hall, almost slipping on the hard marble floors as he quickly ran into main entrance where many of the staff were gathered peering out the window. "Naruto I am so sorry!" Tenten a maid said as she stepped in front of him. "What? Move!" Naruto yelled as he tried to make it to the door what did she mean she was sorry? "Naruto listen its best you don't see!" She said as she grabbed him and pulled him into a hug, Tenten was Naruto's friend and she didn't want him hurt.
"See what?" Naruto pushed her out of the way and moved quickly to the down stairs "Wait Naruto its Miso…" She looked down at her shoes and Naruto felt his heart sink, he slowly turned his head to the door and opened it his hands shaking as he pushed it open the bright sun blinding him for a few moments before his vision returned and saw Karin and a fat Grey haired man looking off into the field, he followed their line of vision and saw a small black thing laying on the ground.
"Miso!" Naruto yelled everything appeared to move in slow motion as he ran toward the still cat his heart racing as adrenaline raced through him and he ran to his friend. The cat lay on its side he had blood leaking from his mouth and nose, and large wound to his side. Naruto cradled the cat in his arms as tears leaked down his face, he felt numb all over save for the growing warmth on his chest where Miso's blood soaked through, memories flashed trough his head of day he found the cat.
(*-*)
It was raining out and Naruto was but the tender age of nine, he had broken Karin's doll while he was cleaning and in turn she had two other servants hold him down as she took a piece of the broken glass doll and cut each of his cheeks three times. Lady Tsunade had arrived home and saw Naruto wander into the hall his face bleeding badly, he was whimpering in pain, she ran to him looking for an answer but he said nothing and instead ran from the home tears streaming down his face. He ran out into the rain and ran down the old dirt road that lead deep into the woods not caring that he was getting covered in mud nor did he pay any mind to the branches and thorns that whipped at him, making him bleed.
He only stopped when he flew face first in the mud skinning his knee in the process; He sobbed and pulled his knees up to his chest leaning against a tree as the tears fell freely from his face. He didn't know how long he sat there alone sobbing letting the rain wash away the blood and mud before he heard a desperate inhuman cry from the woods, He quickly wiped his eyes and ran off in the direction jumping over slippery roots and ducking under the hanging branches until he came across a stream that had over flowed thanks to the rain.
Naruto felt his feet slip a little in the dark mud as he looked for whatever had made the sound when he spotted a little black thing on a stone right in the middle of the rushing waters that went up to his knee. "Hold on!" Naruto called as he entered the water and slowly walked over to the shaking animal he grasped the wet black thing but the scruff of the neck and carried him back to shore and ran home as fast as he could the shivering animal held in his arms.
When he did make it home Tsunade welcomed him with open arms and Karin was confined to her room, Naruto smiled at his Mistress before he rushed the small animal to the fireplace where he lay it down and covered it in a warm blanket. It shuddered before it relaxed in his arms, as he rocked it humming a soft tune hoping to calm it. "Sh it's okay…" Naruto cooed as the animal looked up at him showing its dark blue eyes and purring to show its gratitude…
(O-O)
Naruto laid on the floor of his room his tears long gone; it had been but two weeks ago when he lost his best friend and his reason to smile. Karin had not been punished this time around and instead was set to marry a wealthy man named Danzo who lived a far distance away. She got a happy ending well he lost his friend thanks to her and Danzo's bodyguard who thought that Miso would make good target practice.
"Naruto?" Tenten peered around the corner into Naruto's room where the once sunny blond lay unmoving like many days before. He didn't respond to her so she decided to just go on and tell him the news. "Naruto Lady Karin leaves today as I'm sure you'll know but it seems her husband's bodyguard has taking a liking to you… He wants you to go with them! Please Naruto listen you have to hide or else they'll force you with them and you know what he'll do!" Tenten pleaded trying to save her friend.
"So? I don't care anymore let them do whatever they want there's no stopping them…" Naruto mumbled as he sat up his once blue eyes were now a dull dark blue, his once sun kissed skin had gone pale, and his happy go lucky smile lost. "Besides the old lady can't say no to that brat, I'm done for anyways…" He finished as he stood to his feet and walked past his shocked friend. "I might as well accept this fate…"
"Naruto…" Tenten whispered looking at the broken boy, "Then I'll come with you!" Tenten whispered not loud enough for Naruto to hear, before she spun around and heading to lady Tsunade's room, she knocked once on the door before she opened the door knowing that the lady would have heard her. "Lady Tsunade…" Tenten's eyes widened in horror, tears welled up in them she backed up bumping into the wall before she screamed a cry of pain, alerting the household…
