Chapter one: Kiss Of Life

18 year old Naruto lay almost motionless, the warm spring breeze lightly lifting his blonde locks and providing little warmth to his chilled body, his body seeking it's embrace desperately. His fading vision could barely make out the swaying of the swings in the park before him and his limited hearing could barely make out the steady creaking and groaning of the metal chains tightening and loosening with every sway. The passage of time was unknown to him, as if it didn't exist and he began to feel numb to the ground beneath him. His eyes were dialated and seemingly stared piercingly through everything in front of him, as if his gaze were possibly seeping into another dimension. The blonde was focusing on breathing, which had slowed considerably since the attack on him...however long ago that was. He was sprawled in a pool of his own blood and pretty damn sure that he was dying.

Somewhere far away, Naruto could hear a loud gasp. He hoped a passerby had found him and would lend him help, or at least some warmth to his freezing body. If he could move he would surely pull himself into a tight little ball to control his trembling and possible breathe what he hoped to be hot air on his prickled skin. However, he couldn't move, and he was certain that his breath was cold as ice. Naruto couldn't even remember where his injuries were located on his body. Perhaps he was missing a leg, or perhaps there was a gun shot hole directly above his heart. He didn't know. The only sensations he could feel at this very moment was the steady burning in his lungs, and to his dismay had discovered that the loud gasp had come from himself, trying to draw more air into the burning and almost withered feeling things. Other than that he felt cold and the feeling of deep, permanent slumber fast approaching.

Naruto could sense the light diminishing from his eyes as his vision grew darker, the swings swaying in the gentle breeze becoming nothing more than quivering shadows. Any warmth the breeze was providing earlier, had been completely replaced by a frozen body immune to it's gentle caresses.

Completely unknown to Naruto was the fact that his still flowing blood had attracted yet another presence. The presence although, dark and mysterios had an androgynous edge to it as the moonlight cascaded off his milky white complexion and illuminated his onyx eyes. It was an understatement to say that it was a shame the blonde was completely unaware of this presence.

That didn't last long however, when the presence circled the blondes body until he reached the boys line of vision although, he would only seem a mere silhuoette in his presence. The figure knelt down in front of the boy and the blonde was only vaguely aware of his body being flipped on to its back. It was most likely his body taking its last dive into the next life and the shadow now hovering over his face was merely his guide to the next world...purgatory or whatever he believed it to be.

He became aware of something being pressed rather harshly to his lips. If he had not been on the brink of death, he would have most likely tasted the bitter sweet blood that ran the course of his ample lips and the thick fluid that was now focring its way down his throat. Naruto hadn't noticed how dry his mouth had became until he thirstily swallowed the tasteless substance running through his parted lips, caressing the inner walls of his mouth and flowing with such ease down his throat.

Soon his vision began to return and his breathing became much easier as his chest began to rise and fall with steady breaths and a rythmic heart beat. The numbness of his body had returned to its previous state of pain, but all in all that was a good sign of new life. He could distinctly feel the open gash across his chest in which is attacker had slashed with a newly sharpened butchers knife. His pupils returned to normal but he was still unable to move his jello like limbs.

Naruto couldn't understand why his previos functions had kicked in, when clearly he was on the verge of dying. But somehow, looking up into the piercing stare of the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, had brought warmth back to his once freezing body. The fact that he had felt his face turn crimson told him that he was definately alive and feeling more that just the signs of a dying body returning to its original state.

"I Sasuke Uchiha, have given you the kiss of life. You have been marked blondie and I shall return for my payment in the near future. Whether you live or die will weigh heavily upon my shoulders."

"I...I don't understand," Naruto croaked. It sounded as if his voice hadn't been used in many years and his body was becoming stiff from not moving and laying on the hard concrete."

The figure stood up, his dark onyx eyes fixated on the ocean blues of the blonde boys tanned features.

"For now you shall live, but I will return for my payment."

With that said the mysterious figure jumped into the air and seemed to almost glide, while disappearing over the roof tops.

Once the figure had disappeared, Narutos attention was returned to the sudden pain searing across his chest. A loud wince escaped his now moist lips as he attempted to sit up. He sat up half way before noticing how utterly tired he was. Unable to resist the dizziness that consumed him and the darkness of the abyss drawing him in, the blonde boy fell into slumber, with dreams of the creature who had saved his life.
