Author by: Dominate One


The trip over the bridge was exhausting to both males, Naruto couldn't stop from sweating that was now running down his back. Konohamaru wasn't doing any better, they were dragged their feet as they had their heads hanging low.


Naruto was glad to see dark clouds forming ahead of them, “Konohamaru we need to find some place to get out of the rain.”


“Rain?” Konohamaru lifted up his head, “rain.” He said happily and also unbelievable. He now had the energy to run towards the clouds.


“Konohamaru!” Naruto shot his feet into motion. “never ran towards rain!”


“That's stupid....I'm thirst where else can I find anything to drink?”


Naruto grabbed the back of Konohamaru shirt, stopping him in his tracks. “You don't know how big it would be! It may look small now but you don't know if its going to become much greater.”


Konohamaru let himself pout for a second before looking away from the darken clouds to the blond. “What do we do now?”


Naruto looked around, as he looked to his right side he saw a long white smoke. People had to be there, right? “This way!” Naruto screamed over the thunder storm. He quickly grabbed Konohamaru hands and ran down the hill towards the smoke.

Slammed his fist against hard wooden door with his other hand firmly grasp his little brothers. “Is anyone home!?”


“Nar-” Konohamaru shield his face against the pouring rain, a bid gash of wind blow them hard against the door. “There's no one home! Can't we find some place else?”


“Over here, young ones!” The voice was yelled as a thunder bolt hit the ground.


“Naruto I hear someone..” Konohamaru tugged his hand from the must larger one, he turned and found an old male with a stick holding him up. “Naruto there's a guy over there.”


Naruto looked behind Konohamaru to indeed found an old guy, white white and weird lines down his face. “Umm..let's wait for someone else...” He said uneasy as his eyes darted to the right.


“What do you mean? There' no one around expect him.”


“Umm..there..there might be someone else...around.” He had waved over to the other straw houses that was getting blow away.


Konohamaru blinked up at his older brother. “You're a dork!” Konohamaru shot out into the rain with Naruto's voice yelling at his to 'stop' and 'wait.' For some reason this guy made Naruto uneasy and Konohamaru happy to see him. A hand grabbed his from the shoulder, he his bolt up and found Naruto had caught up to him.


They now stood in front of the guy, they saw him turn around and headed inside the brown and moss covered bricks. “Konohamaru don't be in such a rush..this guy could be bad.”


Konohamaru looked the guy up and down, baggy brown and white cloth what clothed him with brown cloth shoes with strings tied at his ankle. “he doesn't look to bad, brother. I mean he's really, really old and dirty and poor and full of mold...but I like him.” He nodded and grinned up at his older brother.


What a lame joke! Naruto turned his head away, he cross his arms and hmph a little. A lighting bolt hit not to far from where the threesome was, making Naruto flinch and lifted up his leg, turning his body away from where the bolt hit. “Fine.” He sighed as he dropped his pose and reform his previous pose.


“YAY! We're going with his old man.” Konohamaru jumped with his fist pumping in the cold air.


Naruto head dropped as he followed wordless behind his running brother, if this guy was some boy lover he was going to ditch his brother as he made his getaway. Finding the princess was his goal and he wasn't about to let it go, not even if something horrible happens, he was going to protect her.

“What brings you two out of nowhere?” The old man sat down on a straw mountain, he gestured to the floor that was also covered with hay.


Konohamaru got on his knees, he covered the side of his mouth as he whispered to the old man. “We're going to find the cursed princess.”


“Really now.” He stroked his his long hair. “Did you know why the princess is cursed?”


“The snake cursed her.” Konohamaru shouted before he realized his brother covered his mouth to silence him.


“Listen to him, Kono! We know by who but the why we don't?”


The old guy chuckled, “we're a smart kid.” He said looked smug at the blond.


Konohamaru pushed the tan hand away. “I get better grades them him!” He strike back. Soon the brothers were face to face glaring. They snapped out of it when they heard the old guy clear his throat, it needed it at he soon coughed.


“Listen to me. There's another side of the story that many don't know about. The princess met the snake when she was seven, the snake asked her a question about her weak body. She replied that it was getting weaker then the snake dispelled leaving the girl wondering about the talking snake. Five years later the snake reappear asking her once more about her body. She answered the snake immediately that she was dieing. The snake didn't like what he was hearing so he offered the princess a gift to help her weaken body back to health. She agreed to it right then, she then begged for the snake to cure her weakness. The snake lunge and bit her on her neck, the venom spread into her veins. Just like the snake promised her body become healthier but soon the princess noticed marks on her body. The snake did promise her body would become healthier but everything comes with a prices.


Weeks after the bit, her body was consumed with black marks that took over her body. She then couldn't control herself and began attacking everyone that was close to her at that time. Her parents feared the worst, they couldn't control their daughter not even the older sister could. They locked her up and caught
a demon to protect and keep the princess from any damager from inside and out.”


“What do you mean from 'out'? What's not allowed in?”


“The Seraph! Rumors say that the Seraph wants her and has tried many times to catcher her but the demon is preventing the beast from doing so.”


“Why?” Naruto was now hugging his knees, he enjoyed story's just like his little brother.


The guy sigh, “I wouldn't know, but if you do find out let me know.” The old male stood with help from his cane. “I will be going to sleep. Good night young ones.”


“Night.” Both said quickly.


After a belief silence, Konohamaru broke. “Naruto?”


“Huh?”


“What's a Seraph?”


Almost falling over from his Konohamaru stupidity. Snorting, “and you said your grades were better then mine. It's a snake.”


“Oh~” Konohamaru laid down with his bag as his pillow, after sometime Naruto does the same to his pack. “Hey I just thought of something. If we take the princess from the tower won't the Seraph come after her?”


“Probably. But that's not the part I'm worried about. It's the demon that concerns me.”


Drawing his lips to the side mid thought. “I guess you're right. G'night Naruto.”


'The Legend That We Didn't Know'


Humming a softy tone as the night rolled on. Sitting at the cold cement arch window that was a good 200 feet from the ground. Her hands trembled as marks began to appear and disappear, sever years of being locked up and having no complain reduces her to training this curse that was placed on her.


“I would take it all back just to feel grass or warmth from human contact. I wish it all back.” She hiked his up legs and began crying.


'The Legend That We Didn't Know'


“Kono get up.” Getting a hard shove to the back and a painfully punch in the shoulder awake the ten-year old.


“Is it daytime?” He said as he rubbed his eyeball.


“Almost. I wanted everything pack before daylight breaks and then will be leave.” Naruto rustled around as he shoved clothes inside his bag, along with fruits from the old mans garden. “Hurry up. I want to get out of here and back on the road.”


Konohamaru got up and fell back down as he trip over a hill of straw.


Naruto blinked down as he saw Konohamaru blow a straw away from his eyes. “Would you quit goofing around. We have work to do!”


“I'm up.” Konohamaru frustrated threw straw from his face.


'The Legend That We Didn't Know'


The old male was outside looked after the boys as they set there stuff. “Help you two don't have anymore problems on the way.”


Konohamaru grinned up as he was standing beside the old guy. “Thanks for telling us the the other side. We only heard the fairy tell from the book.”


I wish he would stop talking. Kono...why don't you tell him are address as well. Naruto gave a flat look over at the two.


The gray haired male blink at the blade that the blond male was carrying. His look soft as he stared apon the blade, life is so interesting. “Take care of your blade son and it will take care of you.”


“Huh?” He glanced at the sword strapped to his back. “I will.”
