I didn't know how long I had been on the road. It was probably only a few hours, but maybe days. I haven't gone this way in ages. The last and only time was a long time ago. I think it's been three years since then ... but I'm not sure. Too much has happened to remember. That mistake at the time made me make more mistakes. I don't know how many there were, how much blood flowed because of me, how many people I hurt. I don't even want to know. I know that it was wrong that I am wrong I shouldn't be here anymore This knowledge is enough for me.

And yet I am here now. On the way home to protect the people I've betrayed. It's not an excuse; doesn't make up for my mistakes, I don't even want them to forgive me and yet I had to do it. For her, but above all for me.

If I had the chance at all. Orochimaru said it would be three days if I rushed and didn't take breaks. But if I'm not there soon it could be tight. I wondered how much longer my legs would hold me, but I just couldn't bring myself to stop. The worry about failure was far too great.

I can only do something if you let me. If you don't believe me, it's all for nothing. I am not alone against him. I couldn't protect them all. But I did everything I could.

I couldn't give up any more. I only have my life left and it's worthless ...

If I didn't get out of here soon, I wouldn't even have that anymore. I barely felt my legs and got a little dizzy too. Maybe I should have taken breaks after all. However, I couldn't waste this time. Because time was all I didn't have for my plan.

Orochimaru had given me five days, three for the trip and two for preparation.I shook my head briefly. I shouldn't worry too much and concentrate on running.

But a small ray of hope presented itself to me. I was almost out of that cursed forest. The trees around me got smaller and smaller and the canopy of leaves above me slowly dissolved.

And finally, after hours of travel, I had finally crossed this forest. Now I only had an hour or two to go and I was there.

The flat, level landscape was a nice change from this dark forest and it made it easier for you to get around: it was easier to walk on the ground than to jump from one branch to another. However, I wasn't comfortable with the thought. The risk of failure was just too great.

So that was the prologue ... a little short I know ...
I've already finished half of the story ... (it will probably be 11 kapis)
Since I still don't have a word processing program, I can only type things out when I'm with a friend or something ... That's why there won't be that much next week (more information, see weblog)

Um, yes, I hope you enjoyed the prologue (there wasn’t that much plot yet)
I would still be happy about clerks so that I know whether I should continue writing the story at all ...

LG your sasu ^^
