Hey I know it's been forever! Thank you for all the support:)! This was actually written 3 years ago but never posted (also I never finished it either C:" )... So I figured I mind as well post it. It was a hard decision since I feel like the story is great as a one-shot but eh, what the hell! xD
I could hear the voices around me. Commands being yelled out and the sound of a slowing heart monitor.
"He's crashing, 15 cc stat!"
I felt like I was in a dull dream, everything around me was foggy and my body was numb. I was dying. I knew it was true, some inner instinct was telling me so. I thought I would be scared to die but honestly, it's not so bad.
Beep..Beep…Beep…..
The silence stretches and I can only remain silent in my thoughts. There's nothing left to say, my time is up.
The voices around me soon became less recognizable and more resembling wordless whispers. Everything was becoming white and no longer were the faint shadows within my vision. I was being sucked away and falling, it was the church all over again. My body felt lighter than air and free from all chains to this world. I could hear a loud screeching sound before all sounds faded to compete silence.
I realize soon that the white surrounding me was shifting to grey and slowly to black. If I could feel, I would have had a chill running up my spine. This isn't what's supposed to happen, I'm supposed to go into the light not an endless abyss!
It was strange, soon all my thoughts were quieted and I had reached the end of my fall. I was laying in ankle-deep murky water, my body positioned abnormally. I hear loud echo. drip…drip…drip….
I tried to see the source of the sound but my body was frozen. I suddenly hear a voice nearby. It was a familiar voice but broken, "I'm so sorry Naruto. T-this was all my fault," a quiet sob echoed, "I should have prevented this. I-if only I ha-" The voice could barley speak because the choking sobs. I felt tears running down my cheek but my throat was locked. "I love you Naruto." The voice said wistfully. I hear a plop plop sound as he walks away.
When I can barley hear his movements in the distance I suddenly become mobile. I begin to run towards him unaware of the low hum of a dark chuckle. "Sasuke! Sasuke!" My throat burns with how hard I call for him. I could just barley see him ahead of me but no matter how hard I screamed, it was as if he couldn't hear me. I fell hopelessly to the ground. What have I done?
Such a silly little boy.
I whipped around at the strange voice, I saw no one. "Show yourself!" I yelled ignoring the burning in my chest.
A bold one aren't you?
"Shut up, you know nothing!" My voice is filled with anger.
Oh I think I know more then you think, Naruto.
Before I can ask what he means I suddenly stare down at the water when a light catches my eyes, I see Sasuke's image reflected on the surface. "Sasuke!" I call but remind myself it's not really him. His face is paler than usual and eyes are almost bloodshot. The image ripples and now it's a bigger picture, more of a scene unfolding. Sasuke is holding a pill bottle and shaking uncontrollably, a tall glass of what once held alcohol lays shattered on the floor.
"No! Stop it! Please!" I cry out wishing to burn these images from my head. Sasuke…
Heh Heh, guess I know you more than you think eh?
I say nothing in return to him.
Finally quiet? What a shame.
"What do you want?" I manage to ask in a strangled voice.
You.
I feel warm fingers pulling my chin up and my eyes are met by crimson ones. The mans shape is almost like a ghost, visible but foggy. His face is surrounded by a river of deep orange, but his eyes were menacing. I was as if this man could see through my soul, his stare burned me in a way that could not be explained.
Obvious to I was entranced by his projection the deep voice continued.
I want your body so I can escape from this prison I'm stuck in. I'm the bringer of death, sending souls to their pathway of damnation.
I snapped out of my daze to glare at the figure. Something wasn't right, the burning in my chest he become a searing pain. "What does that have to do with me? Just send me on my way."
Oh young kit, it has everything to do with you. To start off, your a pure soul. That burning in your chest is a result from you being so close to so much evil. It wasn't your time to go, but you see that now don't you? Regardless you definitely shouldn't be here of all places.
His image has a devious smile on and I could tell he was up to something. I wearily waited for him to continue.
I'm willing to offer you a deal, that is if you're willing to accept.
