Chapter 2

I woke up this morning at about 4 o' clock, AM of course. There was a light pounding on the roof of my small abode. I immediately interpreted the noise for rain. I put my arms behind my head and took a deep breath. The light pat-pat noise was extremely relaxing to my now sensitive ears.

Being blind in an overly quiet forest, had been the extreme circumstances which had forced my ears to adapt and make up for my present capability of only using four out of five of my senses.

To be completely honest, I like my life better now, then ten years ago. Ten years ago, I lived the life of a shinobi. I forced myself to forget about emotions. I never allowed myself to get to close to another human being for the fear that one day they just might not come back. I now realize that the life I had been living really wasn't fit for a boy of sixteen years of age, struggling to become a man to live.

My life now is considerably much more relaxing. I don't live with the fear that if I leave the safe confines of my room I could be killed. I now live knowing that because I was exiled, the only worries I have are wild animals and where do I get my next meal. I'm proud too say both of which have been somewhat solved. I have a small garden outside my cabin where I grow my food, and my home has been strategically placed in a part of the forest where animals just don't seem to come.

As the rain dies down I sit up on my bed and look forward. To someone who didn't know about my small predicament, I'm sure they would say that I was looking of into space. What I was doing was far more complicated. I was sending my chakra out in waves. This practice helps me see my surroundings in a different way.

I had come across this technique after I had fallen down what I believe to have been a steep hill. I had tried to apply chakra to my hands and feet so I could stop myself from falling, but apparently I over did it and accidently sent chakra out of every pore in my body. I was suddenly immersed with a sixth sense or a fifth sense for me. I still couldn't see anything but, I could feel everything.

I hadn't stopped myself from falling, but for the price of a broken arm, I developed a new ability that helped get over my disability. Funny. Right?

Anyway, as I stretched out my 'sense' I noticed that everything was as it always is. So, might as well get up and do the daily chores.

First off make breakfast. My Breakfast this morning was a small banquet of carrots, river water, and chocolate that I had 'borrowed' from the village nearby. I know that its not much but, this is what I live on. Vegetables from my garden, fresh water from the river about a third of a mile away from my house, and whatever I had 'borrowed' from the village nearby.

Second thing on my list, move all the plants by the windows to the middle of the room. This isn't so much of a chore as it is a habit. I don't exactly why I do it, just that I have to. Sometimes when I totally forget to move the plants back to the windows, I have small panic attacks. I think that maybe I developed a need for sameness in my life. But then again maybe not.

The third and last chore on my list, weed the garden. I do this chore every other day. I always try the best I can to get all of those evil little weeds but I usually miss a few. That's why I do this everyday. There really isn't much to do around here so I do whatever I can to keep myself busy.

As I was finishing my last job for the day I noticed something was a little…off. I felt like someone was watching me. At first I thought I was just being paranoid, but then I heard breathing.

I turned around grabbing my home made fork plow. I slowly turned my head side to side focusing all my energy into listening to the world around me trying to find the source of my new worries. And that's when I herd it, the horror film twig snap.

I threw the plow at the general area where I believed the noise came from. I heard whoever it was catch it and chuckle. If I told you I was terrified, I would be lying, I was petrified. I haven't been in a situation like this in so long.

All of a sudden something attached to my body. I couldn't feel it so much as I could sense it. I began to rub my arms trying to shake this awful feeling off my body while not showing just how scared I was on my face. Next thing I know my body is flying backwards. I closed my eyes waiting for the pain of some sort of impact, but none came. Instead, I fell onto someone's body. I figured the guy must have pulled my body back into his.

As I was thinking about a way I could escape, I felt a thump on my head. And just before everything went black, two things happened. First I heard a male voice whisper in my ear "Gorgeous." And second, my heart and mind filled with thoughts of dread. I couldn't help but think, 'What the hell is going to happen to me'
