AN: Well... this is the prologue of my first chapter fic. The idea came to me when I was scrolling through the Naruto section and I notice just how many "Naruto gets stuck in his sexy-no-jutsu" fics there are out. I wanted to do something a bit different.
The beginning may sound very familiar because it's taken directly from chapter 48. Yes, that is where shonen jump is right now but I am at chapter 237 and eagerly awaiting the next. I have some ideas on how to play on the current arc, so I will warn in advance that there will be lots and lots of spoilers.
Other than spoilers, I haven't decided on any pairings to warn you about but I do enjoy SasuNaru a lot... I haven't even decided if there are going to be pairings, so this is moot right now. There may be an OC but she won't be paired with anyone if there is romance.
Ok... I'll free you from my drivel now.

The Glass
Prologue
by Bara-chan
And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of.
William Shakespeare
"Hey, are you okay...? You big chicken?!" Naruto huffed at Sasuke as he held the giant snake back.
Damnit! This looks bad! But... That look on Sasuke's face is just priceless. Makes me want a camera. Before Naruto could get an answer from Sasuke, a long tongue wrapped around his shoulders and lifted him up to look into the eyes of the snake-freak. (Orochimaru doesn't say his name until after he bites Sasuke, so Naruto is just going to call him snake-freak)
"Hey! Get off me!!"
Snake-freak started to make seals with his hands. "Heh heh... The brat of nine tails is alive and kicking!" Naruto tried to free himself by head-butting his captor. "How fascinating that, when he is consumed with rage, he loses himself..." Naruto tuned out the rest of the snake-freak's ramblings. How is he able to talk with he tongue around my arms, anyway? Nevermind that! I got to get away! His fingertips are already glowing!
Naruto called on a Kage Bushin just as the snake-freak pushed his hand against the seal. Pain consumed Naruto as the puff of smoke from the jutsu surrounded him. Something is definitely not right! This was Naruto's last thought as everything went black.
To be continued
AN: This chapter was short, I know. My actual chapters are usually longer.... I'd like some feedback on how I'm doing with Naruto's character. He's surprisingly hard to write and I don't want him OOC just yet.
