Ren: The Moonlight Savior

[Itachi-Uchiha44]

Hey people, it's Itachi-Uchiha44, and this is my second Naruto Forums Story. My first one is still up and I'm still writing on it so if you would like to read it it's called The Story of Ren. Here's the story!:

Prolouge

I didn't know where I was. I was cold, hungry, in pain, and I didn't know anything about what was going on. The steel whip cracked down on my back again, and the claws on the end caught and tore at my skin. I screamed in agony, sweat dripping off of me onto the floor. Tears flowed down my face, soaking the blindfold on my face. My hands an feet were bound by chains and the constant agony I was in made it nearly impossible to move.
I wanted to get away, but how could I? I had given up all hope of rescue long ago. Now, all that filled me was the want and need to get away. Everything else ha been swallowed up into the empty void of my heart.

Chapter One

I lay on the floor of my cell, blindfolded and bound with chains, gasping for breath and screaming every so often in agony. Blood, my blood, spilled around me in a crimson pool, though I couldn't see it I knew what blood looked like. Blood spilled from my mouth, my back, my legs, my arms, my nose, my forehead, everywhere that the people had hit me. They hit me with hammers, steel whips, claws, fists, anything they could find. I remember feeling a toenail clipper cutting away at my skin. Suddenly, the cold relief that followed every beating washed over me, though I knew it was just to stop the screams. After being in this prison I'm in for 13 years, you get to know things even though you can't see them. Screams seemed to bother the people that carried out the beatings, so scientists put some medicine onto the weapons so that after someone suffered for about an hour, the relief washed over them to quiet the screams. Though no one ever screamed without purpose, because this led to more beatings. While I was under the spell of relief, I forced myself to get on my hands and knees, despite the pain that I knew would come later, and crawled to the small straw mat on the floor that they called a bed. There was a thin, worn, bloodstained and threadbare sheet over the straw and a small brick with a pillowcase over it for a pillow. I pushed the brick aside and crawled into the bed, still gasping for breath and sweating. The blood spilled into the bed, and I fell asleep there. Well, more so fell unconcious, but thats the kind of sleep we get around here.

So how'd you like the first chapter? If you don't like it, please post why you don't like it and how I can improve it. If you like it, please tell me!!

Chapter 2

The darkness, was everywhere. I had blacked out soon after falling into my 'bed'. After spending was seemed like only seconds in the darkness (which was really a day in reality), I felt my body swimming back to consiousness. As I came back into reality, I heard my steel cell door open and close, and then the footsteps come towards me. There was a dark chuckle and rough hands grabbed my neck and threw me. I hit the wall and coughed, choking on the blood that came to my mouth. I cried out, feeling the wall around me crack on impact. I heard, and felt, my leg snap. Then the rough hands grabbed my again and I felt the person's warm breathing on my face, and smelt his sweet, minty breath. Then, there was a moment of peace. The calm before the storm. Then the storm hit. I was thrown to the ground, and the person crushed down on my back with his massive foot. I screamed. Then came the moment of calm again, the person letting me feel the pain even more. Then he grabbed my broken leg and slammed me into the ground, and then kicked my ribs. I felt them crack. I was in agony, and I screamed. Then, suddenly, there was a small creak and clang as my cell door opened. Great, another thing to come help with the beatings? I thought and moaned. But there wasn't anymore beatings, but there was muffled cry and I was dropped, then I got the sense of being carried, then I felt the wall in front of me crumble. Then, rays of light shined in through my blindfold, nearly blinding me... But I knew that I was free. Once again, I blacked out in the arms of my rescuer.

Chapter 3

When I reawoke from unconsiousness, I faintly sensed being carried, gently and gracefully. Slowly, my senses came alive and I began to hear things that I hadn't heard in years. Beautiful sounds of birds chirping, brooks babbling along lazily, leaves russling in the breeze that cooled my aching skin, and the sunlight streaming in on me. My favorite thing was the light. I hadn't seen sunlight in so long. I felt it's warmth all over me and I felt a few stray tears run down my cheeks. I hoped that whoever was carrying me hadn't seen them. Suddenly, the walking stopped and I felt my savior knealing down. Then I felt my body touch the soft moss beneath me and it stung my wounds. I bit my lip and gave a little cry. My rescuer stiffened and smoothed my dirty, matted hair. Then he lifted my blindfold and I saw the place that I was in. I was overcome my overwhelming emotions. The place that I was in was green, all green and warm. There was a clear blue creek to my right and a large rock resting on a cliff about fifty feet high just above the creek. On all other sides of my was a big green forest and colorful birds sat in the trees, singing beautiful songs. Then my eyes drifted to the face of my savior.

[Itachi-Uchiha44]

Chapter 4

My eyes traced along his shaggy black hair, his red lips and his sapphire blye eyes, over his pale skin, over his muscled arms and legs, and back up to his face. After I saw his face, the world and beauty around me meant nothing. It was nothing compaired to the perfection of his complextion, his unflawed hair, his perfect face and body, even the sounds of the birds chirping was dull in comparison to the sound of his voice. "Hello, Ren. How are you?" he asked in a voice that was more than a voice. It was smooth and velvety and soft and clear all at the same time. It was totally perfect, and it made me so mad. I was mad because he was so perfect, and he was so good, and it made me furious that I was totally, completely, helplessly, and irrevocably in love with him. I hardly even knew the guy! "I've been better," I said, trying to make it sound steely and clipped, but it came out as a croak. I was so thirsty! He walked away for a moment and knealt by the creek. He dipped a small cup into the creek and carried it back to me. He gently put his arm around my shoulders and helped me sit up. Then he let me rest against his chest as I took a sip of the water. It slid down my throat, cold and crisp, and after that I couldn't stop. I chugged down the rest of the water and he went and got me more. I chugged that one and three others down before I felt better. He still helped me sit up and I breathed in deeply through my nose. His smell was like nothing I've ever inhaled before. It was so sweet and refreshing, that all I wanted to do was sit there in that peaceful meadow and breath him in. But I didn't get my wish. Instead, He gently laid me back down, smoothing my hair when I winced with pain, and started going through a small bag. He withdrew a roll of bandages and a container of ointment. "This should help with the pain," he said softly, and helped me sit up. Then he began to lift the hem of my shirt in the back. My body bristled with fury and I whirled around to slap him, and was rewarded with fresh, splitting pain that main me scream and sweat to break out on my forehead. I sat there panting for a moment, my eyes wide with shock, and I felt the warm blood trickle down my back. The pain didn't seem to ever go away. Then, my rescuer once more lifted my shirt hem, only in the back, and I held it down in the front. I saw hi walk away for a moment and then return with a wet rag in his hand. He carefully wiped away the blood and cleaned my wounds. Then the bloody rag was dropped and his steady hand went to my back. He worked quickly, but so gently it almost made me cry. His hand on my back felt so good, it was perfect like the rest of him, and soft, but strong. In a few minutes he was done, and began to wrap the bandage around me. He went around me with the bandage a couple of times, and then he secured it. Then he lowered my shirt, and I laid down. The ointment sent a clean, numbing feeling into my back and my other wounds, and I soon fell asleep. Not unconsious, but a full, restful, sleep. I dreamt of my rescuers face.

[Itachi-Uchiha44]

Chapter 5

I woke up, feeling better than normal, but my leg and ribs screamed with agony. My savior was beside me, looking at me. "My leg," I gasped. "And my," I choked. "Ribs!" I screamed out, feeling as if I was falling apart. He was a blur through the night, and he returned with two well-cut brances of wood which, with the bandages, he used as a splint. Then for my ribs, he simply wrapepd them up tighter and told me that there was nothing he could do. So, for the next few days, I lay there, writhing in agony. Eventually, my ribs and my leg healed and so did my back wounds. All of the bandages came off and I felt better, but I was caked with dirt and grime and blood. "Prehaps you should clean up. It can't be comfortable to have all of that dirt and blood on you," my savior, named Ronin, said softly. He tossed me a towel and a bar of soap. The me motioned towards the creek. "Don't watch," I growled, and he stood up, towering over me, and moved gracfully into the woods. I moved slowly towards the clear blue water, and dropped the towel and the soap to th ground. Then I looked around, and tugged of my shirt. I'd have to get some new clothes, these were in shreds and covered with blood. I let my shirt fall, and then dropped my skirt beside it. I let down my hair and picked up the soap. Then I quickly hopped into the water. It was suprisingly warm and so I floated in the water a bit before scrubbing every part of my body until I practically shone. Then I hopped out, grabbed the towel, and wrapped myself up in it. I gave my clothes a quick scubbing and was about to put them on when Ronin called out from the trees. "Wait!" he called. "Here, wear these," he said and tossed a new skirt and blouse into the meadow, just in front of me. They looked OK, so I dropped my old ones and slid into the new, clean clothes. They were soft and felt good. When I was dressed, I told Ronin that he could come back. When he returned, he wasn't alone.

awesome!!! lloovvee it!!

Chapter 6

Two men flanked him on each side, one with spikey blonde hair and the other with flaming red hair. They wore perfect, angelic faces and I was at a loss for words. And breath for that matter. "Ren, this Jiro," he said pointing to the red headed one. "And this is Takai," he said pointing to the blonde haired one. I couldn't speak, so I merely nodded. "Hello, Ren," Jiro said with a smile. A smile that made me want to faint. And I'm not a wimp or anything, but these guys would make the strongest girls wanna faint. His voice was like honey, slow and soft. "Ren, It's a pleasure to meet you," Takai said with a voice that was soft and velvety, but had a rough edge. "H-Hello," was all I could manage. The three men began walking again, with unearthly grace. They knealt down and began talking among themselves. Feeling kind of left out, I walked into the woods a ways and then turned back towards the river. I came out standing on the big rock overlooking the land for miles. The sun began to set, making the river look orange and the trees looked like they were on fire. It was breathtaking. I sat down, looking out at the sky and clouds and river. I was so caught up in the beauty and what I had been missing for all these years that I didn't notice when Ronin came to sit beside me. "Hey," he said and I jumped. I looked into his sapphire blue eyes.
"Hi," I responded. "Where's Takai and Jiro?" I asked. "They went hunting. I figured that you were tired of berries," Ronin replied. I nodded. "I decided that you and I would fish. If you want to, that is," Ronin said. "Sure," I replied. Then Ronin stood up and held out his hand to me. "Alright then, let's start," he said as I took his hand and stood. Then he practically dragged me to the edge of the rock and jumped, pulling me with him. I screamed and he laughed as we splashed into the warm water below. It was pretty deep here so I wasn't hurt but I was angry at him for dragging me into that. "What was that?!" I shouted but he shushed me. He was looking at the water, his hands poised to grab. A brightly colored fish, about two feet long, swam around his hands. It came about a foot closer and it was bye bye fishy. Ronin's hands moved like lightning and snatched the fish out of the water. Then, in the same motion, he smashed the fish's head on a rock. The fish stopped moving instantly and Ronin tossed it to the shore. Then he looked at me expectantly. "Oh, yeah, sorry," I said and began looking for a fish. By the time Jiro and Takai had returned, I had caught four fish and Ronin had caught six, not including the first one. Jiro carried a deer over one shoulder and Takai carried a wild boar over his shoulder.
"Bacon for dinner," he grunted.

[ItachiUchiha62]

JIRO!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! meh, takai and ronin are OK, but Jiro is AMAZING!!! lol, Riron (Ren+Jiro) FOREVERRRR!!! WRITE MORE!!!!! or ill poke you with a q-tip O_o

[Itachi-Uchiha44]

Chapter 7

The "bacon" and venison popped and sizzled over the fire and I licked my lips. Juice dripped into the fire, making little sparks fly. "Is it ready yet?" I asked, immpatiently. "Almost," Jiro said, his eyes shining in the firelight. I waited about five more minutes and was about to ask again, when Jiro laughed and called, "Food's done!" I snatched one of the sticks out of the fire and bit into the "bacon". I yelped as the hot meat burned my mouth but moaned with pleasure as the juicy, hot meat practically melted in my mouth. Jiro and Ronin smiled at me from across the fire and Takai laughed beside me. I alone finished off five sticks of food and the other guys ate at least seven sticks apeace, still with food to spare. It was a fat pig OK!? I laid back next to the fire and sighed wih contentment. Takai and Jiro went somewhere and Ronin came to sit beside me. He flipped his black hair out of his eyes and looked at the fire. "We're planning on going up into the hills tomorrow," he muttered. I sat up and looked at him. "What?" I responded. "But isn't this like, your home?" I asked him. He shook his head. "We move around alot," he said matter-of-factly. I nodded and looked around the meadow. It had begun to feel like home to me, and I didn't want to leave it. "But this is one of out favorite spots to come to, so we visit here alot," Ronin said, probably trying to cheer me up. I nodded again, and it did cheer me up a little. Then Ronin began talking softer, his voice becoming almost a coo. "I hope you decide to come with us," he mummered. My breathing sped up and my heart began to race as he leaned towards me but if he was going to do something or not, I'll never know because he jerked away when Jiro and Takai burst into the clearing. "Ronin, Ren, get ready because something big is coming!" Takai shouted. Ronin grabbed a sword and tossed me another one, and I crouched into a ready position. My fingers tightened around the sword until my knuckles were white. Then I began to hear crashing in the forest. It was getting closer, louder. Then something big crashed into the forest. It was at least twenty feet tall and it was covered with grey, rock hard skin. Its claws were five feet long each and it's teeth were almost seven feet long. And it had no eyes.

[ItachiUchiha62]

OMIGOSH!!!! AMAZING!!! can't wait for the fight O_o... WRITE MOREEEE!!!

[Itachi-Uchiha44]

Chapter 8

I staggered back as the thing roared. My ears rang from the loudness and I almost dropped the sword. When I recovered, I clutched the sword again and looked at Ronin. He was looking for an opening. I looked back at the beast and waited. Jiro shouted and ran at the thing and the monster looked at him for a moment. There was our chance. Ronin, Takai, and me rushed towards the monster and slashed at it with our swords. However, our efforts were futile. Our swords bounced off of the beasts rock hard skin and it jarred my hands. I tried stabbing it and it almost broke the sword. Then the beast looked at me, the space where it's eyes should be was empty, and yet I felt like millions of eyes were boring into my soul. I froze in sheer terror. Then a huge clawed hand came rushing towards me and I couldn't avoid it. The claws nicked me under my chin and sent blood splattering and I sailed through the air into the river. But the pain had broken me from my state of fear. I leapt to my feet and ran at the thing again. Jiro grabbed onto a piece of skin and heaved himself onto the beasts back, hacking away at it uselessly. But where was Takai? I didn't have time to look, because the beast whacked at me again. This time I dodged and ran at it. I figured that it's underbelly would be softer, so I dashed between it's front legs and stabbed upward with a loud cry. Something broke, and it wasn't the beast's skin. I saw small shards of steel go fluttering through the air and I saw the blade of my sword go falling to the ground. I was left with a useless sword hilt. I ran and threw it at the beast's face. It bounced off uselessly. Did this thing even have a weakspot?? I wondered. I found myself a new sword and whirled to face the beast. Then I saw Ronin take on in the face. Then things seemed to go in slow motion. Ronin was flying through the air, his eyes closed with little dots of blood surrounding his face. A long cut ran up his face and his sword dropped from his hand. He hit the ground right in front of my feet, and didn't move.

[Itachi-Uchiha44]

Chapter 9

I gasped and looked down at Ronin for a moment, and then lept into action. I built a makeshift fort around him using some shields, and then I gabbed three more shields and gave two of them to Jiro and Takai. Then I latched the third one to my arm, and girpped my sword hard. The beast, turned it's massive head towards me, and using my experience from last time, I moved away from it's eyeless face. Suddenly, the monster opened it giant jaws, showing all of it's massive teeth. Then, a searing hot flame blasted towards me. I was nearly engulfed in flame, but by doing a back handspring, I avoided it. All except for my foot, which was slightly singed. But, to my amazement, the fire didn't burn the ground. Only me. I idn't have time to think about what that meant, when the monster attempted to clamp his jaws around me. I slammed my shield down onto it's head and felt the vibrations ripple through my arm. Even so, I continued to whack at the beast until I could run away from it's massive jaws. Then I was between Jiro and Takai. Then I had an idea. "Jiro, Takai, spread out. Then start making lots of noise by banging on your shields. It should confuse the monster," I said quietly through clenched teath. My foot hurt like H-E- Double Hockey Sticks. I began walked away from them, and when we formed a triangle around the monster, we began beating on our shields. The noise did no good. The monster just whipped out a clawed an in a wide arc and forced us to jump up and dodge. But Ronin did wake up. He leaped to his feet and looked at me. Then he grabbed a sword, an all four of us attacked the beast. When he was down, he sure didn't stay down long. I hit the beast just behind it's jaw, and to my great suprise, my sword went all the way into the thing. Blood erupted from the wound and the monster howled in pain. I grabbed the bloody hilt of my sword with both hands, and ripped downward with it. I huge gash opened in the beast's neck, and I noticed something. The beast's blood was black. My arms began to burn, but I ignored it. "Ronin, Takai, Jiro! Attack behind it's jaws! It's the beast's weak spot!" I shouted, and hacked at the monster again and again. In about ten minutes, the beast fell with a loud crash. Then, right before our eyes, the thing simply evaporated. After it did, I ran to the creek to clean my arms, and then we went back to the fire to discuss the beast.

And I often use a katana, which is a form of a sword. O.o Haha.
