Pairings: Uzumaki
Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke (main) – other pairings possible.
Genre: Supernatural,
Romance, Drama, Comedy, Dark
Notes: I blame the
show, Kyōkai no Kanata (Beyond
the Boundary), as well as one of my all-time favorite shows – Yami no Matsuei (Descendants of
Darkness) for this story. To be honest, it’s been a while since I saw the
latter (years!) and Kyōkai sorta
just brought back all those feelings again, and then I started thinking of
sticking all the Naruto characters in such a setting and voila! Fingers started
moving on keyboard *lol* So pardon if this plot seems ‘familiar’, because I’m
going to try my darnest to make it as ‘unique’ and ‘realistic’ as possible
despite its obvious supernatural themes.
Story
is going to be mostly written in the third person (except for Sasuke’s inner
dialogues/interludes/whatever I decide to make it) Hah!

PROLOGUE
Prelude to a Dream
To
Whom It May Concern,
If
you are reading this, it means I am no longer with you on the earthly realm.
I
might walk amongst you, talk, eat, breathe and adopt your every mannerism, but
my very essence has been transformed into one where Death no longer looms over
me with its spidery tendrils. I can take a bullet to the heart, bear with the
ghastly pain, but will recover just before you have the time to reload your
weapon.
Yes,
you could consider me an Immortal, but I do not prey on humans like the fables
of vampires or other creatures of the night. I do not crave human blood, never
have and never will. So do not fear. They are lowly compared to my current
status, but that is another story to tell.
My
life story is anything but ordinary, beginning with the unfortunate (but
foreseeable) elimination of all I held near and dear to my heart. You could say
I had nothing else to live for, and my existence on this earth was simply a
burden I could no longer bear.
I
was given a choice to live this way, and I took it without hesitation. Why? It
was nothing complicated, I can assure you (although getting to this point was
anything but uncomplicated), but a simple decision all the same.
I chose to be
with him.
I
choose to walk the ends of the earth with him until our time is up – whenever
that fateful day arrives – and I will have absolutely no regrets. I will
continue to fight by his side, and to be there whenever he needs me (though he
pretends he doesn’t most of the time).
Right
now he waits outside impatiently, probably grumbling about me being a damn
‘slow poke’ and still behaving like mere humans, but I cannot help it. I have
only been at this for about a month, and it is hard to let go of what I’ve been
used to for all seventeen years of my life. He is a veteran at this, and
obviously older than I am, and yet he does not look a day over twenty for that
was the year in which his mortal life ‘ended’.
Over two
hundred years ago.
But
I digress with things that are of no concern to you, Reader. For now, please be
content with the idea that I continue to live amongst you, while watching and
protecting over you every single day. You might not see us at work, but you
should consider yourself lucky your human eyes do not see the darkness and
horrors we are privy to.
This
is the life I’ve chosen, and it is with a man who still fails to see just how
much he means to me. He might consider me a nuisance most of the time, but I
take comfort in the small fond smile he gives to me once in a while, or his
rare displays of ‘affection’ by actually paying the tab whenever we stop for a
bite while on duty.
He
never got the hints while I was still human, so what luck do I have now that
I’m Immortal? Only time will tell (and what a lot of time we’ll have, Reader).
Until
then, I leave you with this thought; cherish this fickle thing called Life.
Live it fully, enjoy it for all its worth, and may you never have to see the
day it all comes crashing down in flames.
Come
to think of it…that was the first time I ever met him...but that is another
story for another time.
Farewell
for now,
(for
I just might be that slight gust of wind to brush your skin when you least
expect)
Until
we meet again.
Uchiha
Sasuke
