~Akira'sP.O.V. ~

You open your eyes to the blackness surrounding you. You see nothing, but squint just as you see a small ball of light. You stand up, feeling a burning pain go through your body. You look down to see red water. Was it your blood? You looked back up, as the light disappeared. In the distance you look around, trying to find the source of the light that was once there. You walk to the center of what seems like a platform. As you are about to take another step, two arms grab you all pull you down. You gasp for air, as you lay there, afraid of what will happen next.

You look to your left, only to see the outline of a figure. You look to your right, only to find a metal cage with bars like it was a jail cell. You hear a low growl, as you sit up coming from inside the cage. As you move to touch to the bars, to large red eyes glare at you with teeth of a demon flashing as another growl comes from it. You look back at your right, only to see the person who was once there gone.

Without a moment's hesitation you get up, and put your hand on the seal that was pasted on one of the bars. As you go to tear it off and hand goes on top of yours. You pause, glancing to the side only to see a boy with blonde hair in the little light shining through. He had marking son his cheeks that look almost like whiskers. He wore a headband with the same symbol as yours. You assumed he was from the Hidden Leaf just like you, but you have never seen him before.

"If you were smart, you would take your handoff the seal and step back." He said in almost a harsh tone. Afraid of what he might do, you removed your hand, and stepped back. In the darkness you could make out a small smile creeping along his face, as you listened to his directions.

"And just who are you to order me around. Before you answer that, answer this. How are you?" You ask, as light soon come around the two of you. You soon found yourself and the boy in your room again. You could know see he had sky blue eyes. You smiled, looking into them then snapped out of it.

"My name isUzumaki Naruto. I am a Genin and a member of Team 7." Naurto explained.

You smiled. That was the team you were assigned to meet in the morning. "Good old Kakashi-sensei huh?" You said, smirking. Naurto laughed at that, and nodded in agreement.

"Now that you know me, I'd like to know who you are." Naruto said, sitting down. He looked up at you.

"I am Akira Koto. I will be a part of Team 7starting tomorrow. It's nice to meet you ahead of time." You answered truthfully. You smiled back at him, in the same warm smile he gave to you. Naurto smiled. He nodded in agreement to what you said.

"Also if you don't mine, would you tell me what that was about back there?" I asked sitting next to him. You turned your body to face him, criss-crossing your legs. Naruto looked down, knowing there was no point in trying to hide it from what you already knew or at least saw. He turned towards you.

"Let me start by telling you a story." Naruto said. He closed his eyes slightly, before opening them to look at you. The look on his face this time wasn't the same cheerful look it was before. It was now serious. You sat there silently, as you looked away from his face knowing what he was going to say wasn't good. After you had found your courage again, you looked back at him.
