《Inner Demons》An Escape from the Cold
Advertisement
'Time flies by when your having fun', I have heard this quote on numerous occasions but it has never felt so tangible as now. The quote continues to ring through my head as everything continues to move at a sluggish rate.
It feels as if the world is laughing at me, rolling on the floor as their mouths release jests. They seem to enjoy toying with me, prodding and smashing, yet never letting the pain come to an end.
Can't they just be compassionate for once? Can't they at least let me rid myself of this pain? For as the world clock hands leisurely spin, my mind feels as if it can't last.
I'm not sure if I can make it...
"OI, NARUTO BAKA!!!!"
An impact lands on my skull, blessed with a subtle crunch. My head swims as it tries to become aware of its surroundings, trying to feel coherent within the blurring reality. It almost makes it when another blow is landed.
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING, BAKA!!?"
The screech pierces my brain, cutting through its muddled mess with a blunt, serrated blade. I struggle to keep myself from falling, legs wobbling without composure. I wish I got to eat something earlier, something that would help me win this fight against malnourishment. Yet as I struggle to remain steady, an arm wraps itself around my waist.
"You really shouldn't be damaging your teammate like that. Do you really want to lose a loyal companion through those actions?"
That voice- My cheeks flushed bright red as I felt the warmth of his skin against mine. My heart wouldn't stop thumping, its rhythm increasing as the tempo rose.
"He's not a loyal companion, he's a demon! Why would you look out for someone like him?!"
The arm around my waist tightened, bringing me further into this foreign warmth.

"I'm pretty sure the real demon here is you."
Barely a whisper, inaudible to all. Yet it rang through my ears like the resounding composition of an orchestra. I felt myself get led away from my team, still embraced by that warmth I had always been starved of. And though I knew that this wouldn't last for long, though I knew that this couldn't possibly work, though I knew my death was soon approaching, I nuzzled my head into the redhead's body. It was nice and warm, and I had been lost in the frigid weathers for too long.
Author's Note: I'm sick... TT^TT But, on the positive spectrum, I got to watch about 31 episodes of Haikyuu! :D Anyways, this chapter is also pretty short and probably doesn't make much sense, but hey, Gaara actually made a move on Naruto! They're not just going through clueless gay panic! Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter and please point out any mistakes I made since my brain isn't functioning properly. Thank you

Beautiful and luminescent weather phenomena covered the planet, for ten short minutes every corner of the Earth was underneath a cascade of lights in the sky. It was days later before reports began to filter in, more than could be suppressed by Governments and Nations. The Alphas had arrived. A small percent of the global population began to exhibit otherworldly and super natural abilities, changing the course of humanity. The Vietnam Occupation ended over night, as each ruling nation took action to respond. In the coming years Alphas would begin to change the globe. Russia eventually became an Alpha nation ruled by a mysterious figure only known as Father Winter. America, Europe, and Australia become even larger superpowers as their Alpha populations exploded, in time a United Nations force known as The Guardians was established to police and document the Alpha emergence. The worlds foremost expert in Alpha studies, Dr. Pavel Laghari invented a system known as the Laghari Scale, that scored Alphas on a scale of 1 to 10 across a wide array of parameters ranging from relative physical abilities to other parameters. Now, in most civilized countries Alphas are required to be assessed the moment their powers manifest, or be in strict violation of local and international laws. In this Age of Heroes , The Guardians have designed a new Initiative to recruit younger Alphas and set them on a path to greatness. Every year teenage Alpha’s from all over the globe flock to secure locations to take part in the Guardians crucible. Many will enter, but few will earn the right to call themselves a Guardian.
