Destiny Unraveling

The (unfortunately) long awaited sequel to "Last One Standing" and, yes, it will be a multiple chapter fic, because I have many ideas to torture our lovely characters with... I hope everyone is quite happy with my offering into the Naruto Universe, and also hope that it meets any and all expectations! I am also going to be going back and partially rewriting the previous fic, editing it and such for spelling and attempting to make it flow quite a bit better. Comments and Criticisms are fully welcomed, and please, don't worry about being a bit harsh! (Okay, so flames are going to make me cry, but that's life XP) Have fun, and thanks for reading! And yes, this is only a prequel!

Disclaimer: Naruto and Co DO NOT belong to me, at all, and I am soooo not making money off of them... if I were, I wouldn't be a poor college kid, now would I?


Prequel : What Is Going On Here?


It was hot.. Always so hot.. Like fire running through his... Their? Veins. Oddly enough it was also always dark, as if all the light had been sucked from where they had hid. But where were they? Why was there only fire and darkness? They... They couldn't remember...

"My Lord... Please, waken."

Lord? They were no lord... But yes, they would awake...

Brilliant eyes of violet hue blinked open with startling swiftness and stared down at the creature which had spoken to them, gazing with curiosity at the young two tailed fox who sat primly in their presence, gazing up at them with sudden delight. They were somewhat startled at the sight, primitive thoughts that they couldn't quite grasp confused by its appearance... Something was wrong with foxes, something ancient, and dark... The young female, for somehow they could sense that was what it was, cocked her head and yipped happily up at him, her silverish gray and white fur appearing to crackle with tiny lightning bolts as she bounced to her feet, the yellow markings along her sides almost glowing with the power of her happiness.

"You are awake! You're awake! We have been calling and calling, but now, finally!" She yipped again, leaping into the air, somersaulting, and coming back down neatly, eyes bright with excitement even as she continued to look up at him.

Blinking again and cocking its head, the creature the young kitling had been trying to wake began to look around, wondering what it was, and who it was... And how could a fox speak? Of course that was when it caught sight of... Itself, obviously, for those tremendously sized paws could belong to no other, since they appeared attached to... Himself? Yes, he was male... The immensely, almost incomprehensibly large creature looked down at himself, violet eyes wide as they looked at the deep red, almost black paws, toes tinged with the barest hint of gold, then swung to look behind himself, at the flowing lines of back, rump, hind legs, and... Nine great tails, swishing gently back and forth, each tipped with gold to various degrees.

What... What was he???

"Sasuke! Sasuke, wake up!" Came a loud, strident voice through the window, causing the last of the Uchihas to groan and roll back over onto his side, tugging the pillow up over his face, effectively trying to block out that voice as well as the sunlight that was beaming through the open window. It was entirely a too cheerful scene for him, and he'd just as well block it out than actually go and face it... That is, until the strident voice changed to sudden, sharp pain.

The last sane (presumably) Uchiha yelped and flailed out of his bed a moment later to glare at the pink haired kunoichi who stood over him, fist still raised even as a glower crossed her face. "You, my friend, had better get up... You promised you'd be there today, Sasuke" She growled in a fair imitation of the dog's their friend trained. A friend who's suspicious snickering Sasuke could hear just outside the window.

Rubbing his sore head Sasuke stood, still glowering at his former teammate before hitching up his sleeping pants and turning away to go put on something more presentable. "And who's fault was it that I promised? I do value my life, Lady Hyuuga" the raven threw over his shoulder, causing Sakura to roll her eyes and smooth a hand over her slightly bulging stomach. "That is Haruno-Hyuuga to you mister." Eying the incredibly rumpled bed with a sad frown on her face, the pink haired woman looked at him again. "Sasuke... You haven't been sleeping well again, have you?" She asked aloud, moving closer and raising a hand to touch him in a friendly manner, but a small snap of chakra had her backing away again.

At that pop, Sasuke's back tensed up and he wrapped his arms around himself in a defensive manner. "Sorry, Sakura... And no, but you knew that before you even came here..." "Sasuke..." Sakura sighed and backed off, moving away and fixing his bed as he walked into the bathroom and got dressed, away from her eyes.

Just as he walked out, a large white and tannish brown head stuck its way through the door, pink tongue lolling as Kiba's companion woofed slightly, wriggling as Sakura scratched behind his ears, at least until his master's voice came into the room at a yell. "You two! Hurry up before we're late!" Looking at each other, the two ninjas nodded and instantly clapped their hands together, disappearing in a flurry of leaves before reappearing back outside, Sakura bopping the dog nin on the head before all three ran off, heading towards the Godaime's headquarters...
