Cries of a soul

Prologue

~~~~normal POV~~~

BEEP…BEEP…BEEP. The sound of the alarm clock was silenced as the blond groggily got out of bed. The slap of his feet echoed through the silent house as he made his way to the bathroom. Once done he got ready for the day and entered the kitchen. Pots and pans clanked as the ten year old began to fix breakfast. He was used to the early mornings.

Footsteps signaled the approach of his aunt and uncle. The orphan quickly set the table and brought over the food. His stomach grumbled and he hoped he would be lucky enough to get toast this morning. Tensed muscles and bated breath took him over as his aunt walked in. He lowered his head and waited in the corner for them to eat.

"OUT you Monster!" Kurama snapped. *sigh* no breakfast -again.

He got to work cleaning the house. Halfway through a loud crash resonated through the house. It was followed by an ere silence for about two seconds and then heavy footfalls headed in his direction. His aunt stormed in "what did you break!" "N-Nothing…" SLAP "Don't you lie to me!"

Naruto wanted to run, but knew it would only make it worse. He just rigidly stood there; already knowing what was coming. The angry -aurora coming from Kurama was so profound Naruto almost chocked on it until finally she snapped.

*Time Skip*

An all too familiar pain ran through my body. Slowly, ever so slowly, I managed to raise myself up. The heavy darkness of night mingled with pinpricks of starlight greeted pain-filled cerulean eyes. Never again. Anything is better than this. Random thought filled my head as I packed what little I had. I refuse to die here. I won't let her bitterness be the end of me. I'm sorry mom. Sorry I'm he reason you're gone, but I don't deserve this. Right? Cold metal made my skin prickle as I turned the knob, stepped out into the semi-warm autumn night and never looked back.

A/N: just to clear some things up. 1) Naruto's dad died in a war. 2) His mother died during childbirth. 3) His aunt blames him for the death of her sister. 4) His uncle doesn't abuse him, but he doesn't stop his aunt either.

This is just something that his me while I was reading. Let me know what you think and I am always looking for advice/suggestions as to how I can make the story better.

Also I don't have a beta yet and even though I read through it after I was done there might be a few mistakes sorry. Let me know if any bother you too much and I will fix it. If anyone wants to be my beta let me know I would love that!
