I was walking down the streets of Konoha, whistling a tune I didn't even know. Everything was black, the buildings, the windows, the cars, even the people. Black as night. No one had any color, any face, anything. Only black things in the shape of humans. It was truly frightening! I couldn't recognize any of the surrounding buildings, and the people felt like they would murder me if I looked at them.

The next thing I knew I was in that damned apartment building. Sitting there, waiting for me with that crooked and screwed up smile, was my mother, no, Tsume Akuhei. She sat on the couch in the old apartment living room, beer in hand, and laughing tauntingly. 'You couldn't even stand up to your mom! You truly are that bastard's son! You're just like him, always afraid and worthless, never standing up for yourself!' She taunted bitterly.

I nearly fell to my knees at the mention of my father. I had never even met the man, and so that bitch used every opportunity to mention him and how much she hated him. I wanted to meet him so bad, but from what I had gathered, he had divorced Tsume before she had found out she was pregnant. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if he had known he had a son….

My attention went back to my mom as she started laughing again. 'Here, little bastard, let me end that suffering in your eyes. Mother will make it better!' She screamed in a hysterical voice. I watched as she raised something from behind her, and realized it was a gun. She looked at it hard before taking the barrel and licking it in a sickeningly taunting way. Slowly she raised the gun and-

CRACK!

My head shot up at the sudden noise. Looking around me I realized I was on a hill laying stomach down. Then I remembered everything in a sudden rush and nearly lost what little contents were left in my stomach.

I looked around wondering what had woken me up from that horrible nightmare. I looked down the hill at the river. Hadn't the bridge been in one piece yesterday? I could see the splintered remains of the sides connected to the shore and something splashing frantically in the water caught my eye.

Looking at it closer I realized it was a boy! He was drowning in the river! Forgetting completely about my broken arm, and ignoring the sudden dizziness I felt, I rushed towards the spot where I had seen the splashing seconds before. I hope I'm not too late!

Jumping into the water, I used my legs to support my body since one arm was impossible to move and the other was going to be needed. Diving into the water, I looked around quickly until I spotted something orange and blonde colored. I swiftly swam towards it, going about 6 feet down and latched my arm around what I was guessing was his waist.

As quickly as possible I raised our two bodies towards the surface, careful not to jar my arm any worse then it already was. Pushing my way towards the surface, I was able to drag us both to the right side of the shore, opposite of the hill. I laid his small frame down flat on the grass and stuck my ear to his small, yet muscular chest. He wasn't breathing!

I remember learning CPR in swimming class, but what did you have to do? I remembered most of the important things and slowly holding his nose with my fingers; I put my mouth over his and exhaled. Nothing happened. Once again I repeated the process. Nothing. On the third try I finally got a response, the blonde boy started choking and spitting out water immediately.

After spitting out about a cup full of water, he opened his eyes and looked around. Once our eyes met it was all I could do not to choke on my own spit. They were beautiful… about the color of the sparkling sapphires you see in jewelry stores. Slowly he began to speak.

"Umm… Hi, err… thanks for, you know… saving me…" he blushed at this and I couldn't help but laugh.

"It's fine, I'm just glad you were alright!" I replied.

"Thanks, I'm Naruto." The little blonde said.

"Kiba… Are you gonna be alright?" I asked. He was trembling terribly and he was slightly pale.

"I'll be fine, though I should ask you the same. I'm surprised you were able to swim at all with that arm!" He said loudly.

"I'll be fine." I said sharply.

"I know! I want you to come to my house! I know a doctor who will come to our house and look at you to make sure you're alright!" he said as he stood up.

"Sure… I began to stand up and wobbled a little as a sudden wave of dizziness hit.

"Are you sure you can walk? I can get someone to help if you want," he offered kindly.

"I'll… be… fi-" that was it. That was the last thing that came out of my mouth as the ground suddenly approached and everything went black.

Hence the day, I, Kiba Inuzuka, saved a drowning boy and passed out afterwords.
