Cliffs and Hangers

One: This song will help me…although I'm not sure it's intended to be creepy as hell… and somewhat sadistic… but whatever.

We: -puts Aura on Endless Repeat-

Summary: When push comes to shove, someone has to fall.

Disclaimer: Ha! Own nothing of Naruto.

For 12 years they had survived. Even if their existence was futile, they continued to live in a time of death and hatred.

For one, it fueled him.

For another, it killed him.

For the third, it drove him.

Slowly but surely, one would have to fall.

Story 2: Demon of the Leaves (Naruto)

---

It is true that most children are born with an impending innocence, but by a cruel twist of fate, this child's innocence never reached fruition. Yes, he did have innocence, but with the Fox tucked away into him, he never received the same happiness and contentment as other children.

Eventually, it began to eat away at his mind.

For 12 years, he received the same treatment as the Raccoon's Medium has, although… perhaps not as cruel.

The Raccoon had no one to love him, but the Fox had but few, and those were the ones who prolonged his grip.

But it was only postponing.

Unlike the Raccoon, the Fox did not know of the demon's existence until much later, which was very likely to be the cause of his large jump.

As time passed, and those he cared for dissipated and left him for what he was, or what their own selfish desires sought, the bridge was torn and the darkness claimed his young, fragile mind.

There are those who could see the indifference to darkness forming in the recesses of the three demons…

But nobody chose to care for most of them.

The Raccoon was feared by his village.

The Fox was scorned by his village.

And the Fan was praise, but shunned their superficial love.

---

Love…

All but one of them were to never acquire this feeling.

Emotions are the driving force between one's mental state.

Even if falsely led by one…

Superficial for another…

Or lost in early stages…

'Love' is the essence of 'hate'.

'Hate' is the essence of 'love'.

Eventually, one will lead to another…

And then they will fall.

The cursed do not live long.

The cursed do not live worthwhile.

But the cursed know what we shall never.

The concept of emotion.
