Author's Note: This is the prologue to my first story. It will probably be fairly short 5-6 chapters. I am not sure about how to get someone to Beta my work...Any guidance would be much appreciated. if you don't like yaoi or amateur writing then you probably only here by mistake.
I do not own Naruto or affiliated medias. I do not make any money from the publishing of this story.
It is difficult to measure the true worth of someone from their achievements monetary, personal or otherwise because these individual aspects show the more accomplished side of an individual. One can learn infinitely more from their failures. It demonstrates far more of the essential essence of a person and their overriding ambitions.

Sasuke woke to a sore arse and dried blood. Kyuubi's obsession with blood play always made recovery harder. Yet, it was, he supposed, part of the allure. To be forced to surrender all his own preferences and desires and experience an entity removed from his own control. The burden of responsibility removed and all consequences belonging to another. Even the relapse didn't belong to him. Not really. The role of the demon was to tempt. He merely answered the call of the devil. His eyelids resisted his attempts to pry them open. Through hooded eyes Sasuke traced the indented impressions of his back within the thin gyprock of the inns. The cheap building unable to withstand the unrestrained strength of Kyuubi's claws.

Naruto's awakening was far different to every other that week. Kyuubi did not pace restlessly at the back of his mind, creating a headache beginning from the base of his head to slowly overtake all thought. He woke refreshed, sated. Kyuubi had visited Sasuke. While part of him wondered what had happened, whether they had spoken about him. He knew better to confront those memories. He had peeked once and had had nightmares for weeks. A sharp rap from the door pulled him from his reprieve. He exhaled slowly, and fixed his face as he grabbed the long robe. He opened the door.
Outside the ANBU snapped to attention. "Hokage-sama, we are awaiting your orders to do with the captured missing nin."
"Any other reports, sightings of dangerous individuals within our borders?" Naruto half wondered whether he should truly put faith in his elite warriors who missed his escapades.
"No, sir."
"Has Sakura given the all clear?" However, would there be any real point in trying to put the measures in place to prevent their meeting. It was an odd feeling really, to be jealous of yourself.
"Yes, sir."
"then hand them over to the interrogation squad and send out missives to the land of waves letting them know we have her." Really, it was Sasuke who was emotionally mutated. Why seek Kyuubi when he was prepared to offer so much more? Who would seek hate instead of love?

If one was to measure Naruto's life by his achievements surely you would believe him successful. It is his relentless and futile pursuit of Sasuke that is, of course, the most revealing.
