The Red Room Virus - A Naruto Mystery/Horror Fanfiction

Prologue

(Phew! The Prologue is here! It's not that long though.I don't own the characters. They belong to Masashi Kishimoto! And I don't own the original "The Red Room" either! ^^ ------------~SilverDiamonde07~)

A young man lay on his stomach on his bed, with his laptop in front of him, typing away. His pale eyes roamed over the screen as he quickly typed. "Darn it. If only Lee wasn't so incompetent, this project would have been over by now!" The man groaned, frustrated. He was nowhere near completing the assignment that was due the following week. He looked at the time.

12:27a.m.

There was still so much research to be gathered. He propped a hand underneath his chin and sighed. Perhaps he was being a little too harsh. After all, it wasn't Lee's fault that he over exerted himself in the physical examination test a couple of days ago, and had to rest in hospital.

In fact, Lee was getting discharged later that night, and Ten-Ten was planning on paying him a visit. She had insisted that Neji come along too, to which he had agreed. He didn't really have a choice. After all, over time he had come to consider Lee and Ten-Ten as not just friends, but as siblings. It would be rude of Neji not to visit him. He had told Ten-Ten to go on ahead, that he would drop by in his own time.

He had to complete as much research as he could before he left the house. He tucked a stray strand of his long brown hair behind his ear.

He clicked on a link on his web browser, when a pop-up came up. It read, 'Do you like?' followed by a childish voice saying it.

The man frowned. What was this? Did someone hack into his computer? Was it some kind of prank?

'Whatever', he thought. 'I don't have time for this right now'.

He clicked on the 'x' on the top right hand corner of the small pop-up box.

The next day, the entire student body of Konoha High School was in a panic. Neji Hyuuga was found in his room, dead.
