Forlorn
Chapter 4 Questions
"You have not been to the academy in a long time."
The words lingered in the air, strange and unfamiliar. They held an emotion that had never been shown towards her, that was not made for her. And yet it was clearly reflected in that voice that voice that came to haunt her even in her dreams.
Why did he have such an effect on her?
"Rumor suggests you jumped off your balcony" continues the Uchiha.
A pale head turned to face hi,. Why was he acting like this? Had he not been one of those who would ignore her? And yet he stood here demanding answers, his voice full of concern…
Concern…
It was just one of the many emotions of which she was deprived. The Gods had sentenced her to such a life and such a life she would live. She deserved no more.
"Your concern for me is quite unnecessary."
Her voice was cold with disdain. Disdain not for Sasuke but for herself. How could she even think she could be showed such compassion. Had she not come to terms with the destiny she has been dealt. Her thought were caught off by the Uchiha's retort.
"As is the rejection of all my attempts at friendship."
The answer was unexpected but revealed so much. Friendship…was that truly what he was after? Would he give her what she always longed for but could not grasp? Would he bring an end to her solitude?
Demon
Monster
Murderer
Abomination
No…Of course he wouldn't. He was just another hateful villager; another dark shadow on her dull sun.
"I need not your friendship."
The Uchiha looked at her with curious eyes,
"Do you think it is by escaping this world that you will find happiness?"
The words were surprising, accusing. A frown formed on her face. Did she? Did she stay away from the villagers in an act to find happiness?
"The Gods sentenced me to a life with no love. Am I at fault for not wanting to receive hate from the villagers?"
"No, but you are at fault for not trying to change your destiny."
A bitter laugh escaped through her throat.
How foolish was this boy?
"No mere human can change their destiny that power remains solely in the hands of the Gods, Uchiha-san."
"But were you not able to change my destiny and that of my mother?"
And once again Narue was stunned by the truth behind those words. She had helped prevent the death of two people, thus changing fate.
"Don't you see Uzumaki-san? The Gods granted you the power to see the future for a reason."
"I was indepted to you."

A demon vessel…
Uzumaki Narue, vessel of the Kyuubi…How ironic that Konoha's savior was also its bane.
The cool breeze passed through his hair and rustled the leaves. Why did he care? She was but another weak villager. His dept to her had been repaid. What was anchoring him to her? Was it the pain they had both shared or the solitude that was slowly being broken? Why did he care?
She was a vessel, the prison of a youki. And yet that fact did not erase his interest in her. No….She had somehow gotten hold of him.
