Chapter One:
Different
She was sitting on the edge of the cliff cradling her legs inside her arms, while setting her chin on her knees watching the setting sun's sky, turning from purple, pink, orange, and red, into dark blue, allowing the full moon to shine onto the tall grass flowing in the cool night wind.
She sighed looking at the picture that lay infront of her.
The crow.
A representation of her life.
A symbol of guidance, she had helped and guided people her whole life. And still nothing had changed.
They all still looked down on her, calling her a monster, and much more.
She didn't choose this life.
She didn't choose to live.
She didn't want to live.
She never wanted to.
They all hated her for a choice she never made.
The one choice she would never be able to make.
Yet they still hated her for it.
And that one choice.
Existing....
It was pure torture everyday, just for existing.
And there she was yet again, lost in her thoughts.
Everytime she was left alone, she would lose herself in the scenery of the world around her, and finally memories of the past, and her own toxic, or questioning thoughts would lead her into a different mental state having her give into her own selfish desires and sort through them, like looking through each book one by one at a library, reading the name and category making sure to not skip any important details.
She had to be careful with these intrusive thoughts of hers, and be extra cautious about them making sure she never accidentally brings them up in a conversation to herself, not that she normally speaks anything above a mumble.
'When the sun falls, the moon rises to take her place, the dance between sisters, and a fight between two warriors, something never ending, until one sister finally looses the life force keeping her from falling, never crossing paths, but always fighting for power, the moon known for her mercy, and the sun known for her glorious reign, both loved equally for their abilities, and yet still cannot share the same sky' She mumbled looking down the tall grassy hill, her gaze falling upon the glossy, tall grass swaying in the refreshing night wind, after having to power through the physical war of the sun's torturous ways when seeming upset, causing what many call a heatwave. Slightly smiling at the poem she was able to resite, a story of two sisters, never crossing paths but destiny causing them to fight, a story her mother would tell her every night before she fell asleep from the sensation if being able to hear how the story ended every night, and if not, she had needed to ask her birthgiver the following morning.
"Wow, that was pretty poetic" she flinched slightly at the sudden voice behind her, sounding from another female her age.
She turned around to see a, girl her own age with pale skin and long straight sliky raven hair going all the way down to her waist.
Her body had composed herself some minutes ago, as her eyes softened with a hint of emptiness.
"Ah, so I see, our fate has been sealed, being rivals till the end" she said smiling emotionlessly without moving her empty gaze from the other's.
The raven tilted her head.
"Huh?" She mumbled just loud enough for the other to hear.
"Fate, I can feel it" the brunette started.
"We met from fate, we are destined rivals, we will get close and soon you will be drowned in hate and leave me behind, leaving me failing to get you to come back, making me spiral into an endless deppresion and sadness, and soon a fight to the death will take place having me kill you and soon either die of old age, from fighting a new war or from suicide" she mumbled causing the raven who had walked beside her eye's to widen.
"I knew something like this would happen, and that I couldn't run from it forever but I guess a part of me was somewhat hopping I could escape fate's grasp of cruelty and torture" she mumbled still cradling herself.
"What do you mean....?" The raven asked innocently.
"The Otsutsuki brothers Indra and Ashura, Konoha's two founders Madara and Hashirama, and the two strongest shinobi living in their timeline Naruto and Sasuke" she said.
"Oh." The raven said realising what the brunette had ment before.
It was quite peaceful the two just there, just, existing the two girls both stared down below the grassy hill the sat or stood upon, watching the glossy strands of green blowing in the wind.
The raven soon clenched her jaw, while making fists.
"That's, that's, just, just, wrong." She said as she still looked down as the other sighed inaudibly.
"Nobody can change fate" the brunette resisted from her past studies, and experiences.
The raven's look dulled slightly, before lighting up again once before turning her head over happily to her counterpart, smiling.
"Then I'll change fate! There's no way I'm gonna be evil when I have to become hokage!" She said excitedly, pointing to herself with her thumb while doing a closed eyed smile, as the brunette looked over to her emotionless, before once again turning her gaze back below her.
"Like I've said you cannot just change fate" she said, causing the raven to deadpan.
"But you can! C'mon we'll be different!" She yelled smiling.
'That's what they all said...' the brunette mumbled.
"What?" The raven asked.
"nothing.." the brunette said not even trying to gain eye contact. She sighed before standing up, and turning her back to her counterpart, before walking away slowly.
"Hey, whe're you going!?" The raven yelled.
"There is no 'changing fate' and even when our past bodies have thought they had, it all fell down in the end collapsing on them, and causing the cycle of the never ending war of two brothers to start once again, so I suggest that we part our ways, and run from this ever lasting fate until we are ready to fight one another to the death, and seeing that we won't know eachother it won't be hard to fight one day" the brunette said still walking always leaving the other child there frowning slightly.
"I-I know the past has always been you who's had to suffer, but I promise that it'll be different this time, it can change......I'll protect you this time...." she said while the brunette was still leaving her behind.
'I'm tired, so damn tired of being seen as a monster, and being broken, I'm not letting you of all people to break me" she mumbled hatfuly.
"Huh?" The raven said hopefully.
"I am not fighting in a pointless war, that has been going on forever for a pointless reason, that people barley even remember, and I never plan on it, though my fate may have been sealed, fate has no way to say when I will fight the battle of hatred, but I'd rather die, than fight for no reason, having a dream your fate has never allowed is pointless, we all die one day, and many are forgotten about, and I plan on being one of those forgotten deaths" the brunette said soon leaving the raven, disappointed with her miscommunication between her and the mysterious girl of her village.
