Prologue
'Thinking'
"Talking"
I do not own Naruto or any references made in this story to movies, TV-shows or games.
I was sitting in my computer room, browsing a thread on 4chan just to pass the time between working and sleeping when my father called my name.
"Blade!" He shouted upstairs.
"What?" I replied, - the usual short exchange between us. I heard an answer but as usual, he shouted just too quietly for me to hear.
"What?" I said again, opening the door and stepping through so I could hear him.
"Go take the stuff your sister left here yesterday back to hers!"
"Right Now?"
"Yes right now."
"Goddammit, why don't you take it?" I grumbled under my breath as I walked downstairs to grab the chair and umbrella left here from Christmas dinner.
I live in a three bedroom semi-detached house that manages to be quite small considering the space inside. I live with my younger brother and father in a town that I only found out was classed as rural when I saw it on the news. I thought it was an urban town but I guess I was wrong. I reckon the farmers and fields scattered around the outskirts of the town should have been an indication.
I walked back upstairs as I'd forgotten my phone and wallet. Even though I probably wouldn't need them, I make it a habit of always having them on me. Chucking on my new leather jacket that my younger brother got me for Christmas, I say 'he' got me it, he only picked it as my father bought it - I doubt my brother could afford to buy a £125 Leather Jacket for a present. He's only 12 after all. In the end, I was wearing my leather jacket, white t-shirt, sand coloured infantry cargo trousers and my walking boots. I prefer comfort over looks but it doesn't mean I'm going to walk around in a gimp outfit even if it was the most comfortable thing on Earth. Picking up the brolly and chair, I walked to the door. "Going now are you?" My father asked.
'Jesus fuckin' Christ of course I'm going now. You just told me to go now what the fuck do you expect me to do?' Is what I thought in my head. What I said however was -
"Yeah, be back in a minute." My sister only lived about 100 meters down the road anyway.
'Bloody hell it's cold' I thought as practically gale force winds blew - as usual - in the opposite direction I was going, seemingly to spite me. Not only was it windy, it was late and the middle of winter. Walking down the road, I was contemplating what I'd do once I got home already,
'Should I watch more videos on Youtube?'
'Probably shouldn't, that goddamn Sonic X Theme tune is still playing in my head. Gotta go fast indeed.'
It only took about a minute and a half to reach my sister's house even with the Wind Gods attempting to thwart my every move as usual. Knocking on the door, I waited for an answer. I heard a few steps and my nephew unlocked and opened the door.
"What are you doing here Blade?"
"I'm dropping off the crap your mom left at my house yesterday"
His dog suddenly ran downstairs and out the door almost knocking me arse over tit. "Watch it Lexi" I gently chided.
My nephew - Dennis, took the items from me and put them in his kitchen. Lexi suddenly appeared behind me dropping a ball from her mouth and sat patiently for me to throw it. 'I really wish I knew how to train my dog as well as this'. I quickly threw the ball straight up into the air and as it reached it's apex, I looked down to see Lexi on her hind legs watching it and caught it in her mouth. 'This is ridiculous, my dog couldn't catch a ball if I gave him 48 hours written notice and 5 tries.'
As the dog gave me the ball again I talked to my nephew while absentmindedly throwing the ball every so often.
"So Dennis, did you watch Bear's Wild Weekend with Stephen Fry on it yesterday?"
"Naah, I don't really watch much TV, I'm going to watch Harry Potter on the TV later though"
"You missed the good stuff. It was funny as hell. I would watch Harry Potter but I probably need to re-watch the first 5 again to remember what happened and I can't be arsed. Also I downloaded Left 4 Dead 2 for free yesterday"
"Was that on Xbox?"
"No it was on the PC, bloody Steam was down almost all the time, it took me ages to get it because the servers kept going down."
"I was gonna say, if it was on Xbox, I would have got that straight away. That reminds me, one second." He ran upstairs.
I turned around while I waited for him and saw Lexi at the bottom of the garden, looking at the gate. 'What the hell is she doing?' I walked over to the gate and found out I'd thrown the ball too far and it landed on the road. Luckily it was a minor road so next to nobody drove there. Picking up the ball I walked back to the house when Dennis came back down saying "I couldn't find it but I forgot to give you back your Command and Conquer game"
'It's been fucking ages since I lent that to him, at least half a year' "You might as well keep it, I probably wont play it again anyway, I prefer Red Alert 2 over the new Tiberium Wars games."
"I've completed it anyway now so you might as well have it back. I'll drop it off tomorrow."
I motioned Lexi inside with my head and after we walked in I made my leave.
"Alright then. I'll see you later, I'm gonna leave before I freeze my nuts off"
"See ya"
Once I exited the gate, I realized I needed to pay my dad rent. 'I should probably go and grab some money out of the ATM down at Morrisons. Well at least it's only 5 minutes down the road. Perks of living in a small town I guess'. After grabbing the money, I walked back home. For some reason I was feeling uneasy, the sort of feeling that's a cross between paranoia and actually being watched. When I was reached the bottom of my driveway, I suddenly felt weak in the knees and had a sudden urge to throw up. Slowly turning around, I gaped at what looked like a black hole or some sort of vortex. The instant I noticed it, it started moving towards me and I felt a pull towards it.
'What the fuck is this thing?! I've gotta get out of here, I really doubt that it's anything good. I can't go inside since I'll probably just endanger my family.'
'Fuck it' I thought 'I'm just gonna run as hard as I can in the opposite goddamn direction.' In that instant, I started putting foot to ground at a fucking rapid pace and sprinted back the way I came. Now I'm not unfit by any standards but while I can run fast, I can't run for really long. Especially when I'm going full pelt down the fucking road due to a fucking vortex chasing my ass. I looked back and all I saw was the vortex about 5 meters away from me moving just slightly faster than I was and speeding up. All that was running through my mind was 'SHITFUCKWANKARSETITSBOLLOCKSSLUTSLAGFUCKFUCKSHITSHITWANKWANKSHITFUCKFUCKFUCKSHITSHITFUCKFUCK' etc. I wasn't exactly thinking straight at that point in time. I'd already been tearing down the road for almost 2 minutes and I was practically dead on my feet with pure adrenaline powering me. I reached a pole and since i wasn't able to outrun it, I might as well try to try to keep myself tethered by pure willpower. Unfortunately I wasn't able to keep this up and the vortex started pulling me in. 'Well. That's that then I guess.' Since I wasn't able to hold on due to extreme force on me, I decided to just resign myself to my fate just jumped backwards into it so I'd go quickly instead of slowly. It was an odd feeling, being sucked into that black hole of sorts, it's kind of like when you put on a really heavy bag but instead of being pulled downwards and only on my back, it was full body and backwards. Weirdly as a whole but unsurprisingly for my, my last thought was 'Shit happens I guess. At least I'll find out what happens after death before anyone else I know. Winning again'
After that, all there was was black as I faded into unconsciousness.
Author's note: Right, everyone who's reading this, I hope it hasn't been too bad to read. I based most of this from what I actually did yesterday, except the whole vortex of death thing. If you have time, could you review it and give some honest feedback please? I've never written a proper story before so I need to know how well I'm doing.
Not sure how long it will be till the next chapter. I could get on to it today or in a week. I'm not very good with schedules like that. Also, I'll try to make the chapters longer, This one was just short since it's a prologue to the main story but I did better than I thought I would.
Next chapter I will have been transported somewhere different from home and have been changed in ways I could actually probably imagine.
