My Promise
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the song 'Behind Blue Eyes'
Prologue
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE THE BAD MAN
TO BE THE SAD MAN
BEHIND BLUE EYES
A lone boy looked sadly at a group of playing children.
Sad, skyblue eyes watered slightly, ready to cry.
The other children never wanted or were allowed by their parents to play with him.
But this time, it seemed different, not like the other times.
While the group of children played, another boy come the playground.
He looked between the group of children and the lone boy on the swing, thinking.
And than, suddenly the little boy decided and begun to move.
But for the little boy on the swing it seemed that he went to the group of children.
He sighed and looked even sadder to the ground.
AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE HATED
TO BE FATED
TO TELLING ONLY LIES
Suddenly he felt someone coming closer and looked up.
Just when the other boy wanted to touch his shoulder, and their eyes locked.
BUT MY DREAMS
THEY AREN'T AS EMPTY
AS MY CONSCIENCE SEEMS TO BE
I HAVE HOURES, ONLY LONELY
MY LOVE IS VENGANCE
THAT'S NEVER FREE
It seemed so long.
And in those dark eyes, the lone boy found something he had never seen before.
Acceptance…
And…
Friendship…
And for the first time in almost two years, he smiled.
And the darkhaired boy smiled back.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO FEEL THIS FEELINGS
LIKE I DO
AND I BLAME YOU
"Hey, I'm Naruto, and you?" the lone boy's voice sounded so innocent and hopeful.
"Hallo, I'm Sasuke…why don't you play with the other kids, you seem so lonely…"
"…" Naruto didn't say anything first, but eventually he begun: "They don't want to play with me, they don't like me and their parents don't like me either…and I don't know why…"
The last he said on the questioning eyes that Sasuke send them.
NO ONE BITES BACK AS HARD
ON THEIR ANGER
NONE OF MY PAIN AN'WOE
CAN SHOW THROUGH
Sasuke looked sad, but suddenly he brighten: "I've got an idea: I can play with you, than you're not lonely anymore!"
Naruto brighten too, but suddenly he looked doubtful: "Are you sure that you want to play with me? Maybe you aren't allowed to play with me from your parents…"
"Yeah, of course I want to play with you, you're nice, and my parents didn't say anything about not playing with you, so… Lets go playing!"
BUT MY DREAMS
THEY AREN' T AS EMPTY
AS MY CONSCIENCE SEEMS TO BE
I HAVE HOURES, ONLY LONELY
MY LOVE IS VENGANCE
THAT'S NEVER FREE
They were happily playing together when the big group of children came to do something.
The two of them didn't pay attention to them and played farther.
"Sasuke, why are you playing with that thing?" a cold girl voice cut through the comfortable silence. Sasuke turned himself around: "What do you exactly mean with that question?"
His eyes stood stormy, but the girl didn't seem to notice.
"Well…" She stepped to Naruto and punched him against the ground. That was easy for her, with her eleven years; she was three years older than him.
L-I-M-P…
SAY IT…
DISCOVER…
Naruto, the boy who had been so happy, just a few seconds ago, had to hold his tears back, but the other children saw them: "Heh, look what a crybaby…"
But they stopped when they saw Sasuke's furious expression: "What do you think you're doing, leaves us alone…"
A boy stepped forwards: "But, Sasuke, why would you wanted to spend time with him, he's an idiot."
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE MISTREATED
TO BE DEFEATED
BEHIND BLUE EYES
"That might be but it's thousand times more fun than playing with you!"
Finally they went away, Sasuke looked at Naruto: "Are you alright?"
"Yeah I guess, but it's ok, everybody does that all the time, I think I'm getting used to it…"
"Why don't you run away, than they can't treat you like that anymore?"
"But…and what about you?"
"I've got an idea: over four years you can return to the Chuunin Exam, with a team of three. I will be there too, and then we can fight against each other and others and everybody has to see that you're not an idiot, so you have to train and become strong, and I will do the same. What do you think?"
AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO SAY
THAT THEY'RE SORRY
AND DON'T WORRY
I'M NOT TELLING LIES
"I think… I think I like it…I leave tonight, bye Sasuke, till over four years."
"I'll miss you, take good care, ok? And promise me that you'll come back.
"No problem!"
They hugged each other.
And just when they separated, Sasuke's mom walked the playground up.
"Sasuke, are you coming, it's time to eat?"
Then she looked at the other boy next to her son. Her eyes widened some. It was the Kyuubi vessel. She frowned and looked covertly, but after a little while she stepped forwards and kneeled down.
Smiling sadly she hugged the golden haired boy. He became completely stiff.
"Listen closely, little one, and remember this always: you have to be your own person, don't listen to what other people say, they don't matter, understood?"
Naruto nodded bewildered.
"Good, now I have to take my son with me, till another time maybe."
She smiled gently and took Sasuke's hand. Together they walked away.
"You made a friend, it seems."
Sasuke smiled: "Yeah, Naruto is nice."
"Are you going to play with him tomorrow?"
"No."
Surprised she looked down: "Why not?"
"Just because, you will see tomorrow."
Mother became silent and the travel to their house was for the rest of the time in comfortable silence.
BUT MY DREAMS
THEY AREN' T AS EMPTY
AS MY CONSCIENCE SEEMS TO BE
I HAVE HOURES, ONLY LONELY
MY LOVE IS VENGANCE
THAT'S NEVER FREE
The next morning Naruto had disappeared. The whole village was in uproar.
Sasuke's Mother looked at him, knowingly: "What happened to Naruto."
He looked at her and decided to tell it to her: "He left to learn, but over four years he will return."
"Was it your idea?"
"Yes, because he was so sad…"
Her eyes asked for an explanation and he give one. And Mother was proud at him.
Anbu forces were sent out to find him, but they came unsuccessful back.
Naruto had disappeared, leaving the village behind that had despised him so hard, and yet…
Because his only friend was there, he would return.
And so he traveled to the other countries, to learn and to hopefully find more friends.
And to return in four years with two teammates for the Chuunin Exam.
And that all, while he hoped that someday, he would find acceptance, for him, and maybe even for the Kyuubi…
I hope it was good, but this is my first Naruto story, so I don't have any idea if it was actually good, so if you could send any comments that could make this story better I'd be extremely thankful.
Also any information about how I can underline, bold or italics would be appreciated.
And as last point, English isn't my mother langue, so you have to excuse me for the faults that definitely will appear.
Like the last line says, he already knows that the Kyuubi lives inside him, but he doesn't realize that it therefore that the villagers hate him.
And when Naruto runs away, he's 8 years.
Naruto's teammates will be original.
I also don't know if there will be any relationships, I'm not very good at romance, but advice is welcome.
