The Darkness

Naruto's POV

Everything is mirror image, it's like I'm walking on water only everything else is black. I can only see the highlights on the ripples of water and my reflection. Everything is gone. I try to contact Kurama, but he isn't responding. I'm all alone, lost in a sea of darkness. Only, this darkness isn't comforting like the cave in my mindscape. It's like a pool of negativity. Whispering it's awful things in my ear.

I can see all the ripples where my tears hit the surface. I don't know what's happening or why I'm here, but I do know that I have to get out, and soon!

Come on, think! What was the last thing I remember? I was fighting Orochimaru... and I was killed! Wait... am I dead! It this what death is like? If I'm dead, does that mean Kurama got freed? Is everyone gonna be sad? Is Sasuke gonna be angry that he couldn't pass the chuunin exams because of me. Will I be missed?

The negativity of the darkness increased and I began sinking into the goop like substance. I try to get back to the surface, but it's no hope! It's like quicksand only the more negative I get the more I sink. Come on! I begin trying to think positive.

I pushed all other thoughts into the back of my head and thought of only the happy times. The times where Kurama would chase me for grabbing onto his tail while he was sleeping, when Kakashi would buy ramen for me, when Jiji would play cards with me, every single good thought that I could think of, but I wasn't rising. I was still sinking. I have no idea what I should do!

Kurama's POV

I was slightly happy and very much horrified. I was happy because I knew my kit wasn't dead since I was still here. I was scared for multiple reasons. First the dark aura emitting off him. Second the fact that the entire world changed. Third, the thought that my kit might not come back. I watched him die with my own eyes, so I have no idea how I'm still here and how he's still breathing. It's as if my kit had changed into a monster.

I tried multiple times to reach out to him, but it seems that the link has been severed. I franticly tried to even stop him before he does something he'll regret, but it was to late. I watched as he killed the very man who helped put him in the state he was in. I could do nothing to help him... nothing to try to save him from this monster.

I began crying for, what feels like, the 1 millionth time today. I just can't help it. even though I've only spent like eight years with him, I've become attached and I don't know what I'd do if he ever left me. I know I'm being selfish, but I can't help it.

I watch as little by little the mindscape begins to fade. Piece by piece. This is a sign that my kit is really dying. I tried to forcefully pull him into his mindscape, but I was blocked again! Even though I could communicate with him, I could feel all his negative emotions. My kit was suffering and I couldn't help him!

I tried one last time, with all my strength, to get rid of the poison. It just wasn't working! I was almost out of hope when the hokage came. There's still a chance! He can still live!

Hokage's POV

I notice that there's a barrier around Sasuke and Sakura. It was a very strong barrier, normally it would take three ANBU. Either that or two sannin. But Orochimaru is only one sannin. Plus... Why on earth would he want to protect them?

I turned my attention back to the monster and began to slow get closer. It wasn't that I had to. It's just that the KI coming off the thing was so strong that I could barely move. This being the reason I don't blame Kakashi for being frozen in place, he'll probably drop any second now.

The monster looked towards me when I reached about 3 meters away. Slowly the thing started to walk towards me, me taking the same amount of steps only backwards. A smile formed on its face and not a second later it was right in front of me. Seeing as how easily it killed Orochimaru, the thing is extremely strong.

I jumped out of the way barely dodging a sword that materialised out of nowhere. It seemed to the made out of the darkness that surrounded the beast.

I used it's short pause to make distance between us. It began trudging towards me only for the darkness to evaporate along with the weird color change in our surroundings. The monster slowly fell to the ground. When I got a better look at it I could see that it was a he. He had fair skin and silver blonde hair. He was wearing a black turtleneck shirt ,anbu pants, black shinobi sandals, and black fingerless gloves.

Naru's POV

I decided that if this is my fate... then I should just except it. Yeah, I'm sad that I'll never be able to see my precious people... but you can't really come back from the dead with everything intact. For an example, most of the time your soul is taken and you're basicly a puppet.

As soon as I closed my eyes a bright light shown through the dark void. I snapped my eyes open and saw a shape forming in the light. When it began to dim I was able to see a silhouette of a boy around my age. He started walking towards me. Once he got a yard away he reached out and touched my face.

"I'm sorry Naru. It's all my fault this has happened to you." The figure said, " I wish I had the power to turn back time, but sadly I can't. If I could, I would save you from this suffering eternity."

The voice sounded so familiar, but I just couldn't place it. He knelt down, "but there is one thing that I can do." He put his forehead against mine, "I can get you out of here."

Everything began to fade, but before it was all gone the person spoke up again, "Naruto, just know that don't blame you for anything. Everything was those villagers faults."

The second before everything turned white the name made it's self clear. ......Kodama? ~•~How'd you like it? Do ya like the cliffy? I sure do! But if that's all then please
