Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ 'Til Death Do Us Apart ❯ "The Lustful" ( Chapter 6 )

“As they whirled above he point out more than a thousand shades of those torn from the mortal life by love.”

Virgil

 

His breathe escaped him like someone was pulling it out. It was an awkward and frightening feeling. Wind whipped past him and made it difficult for him to open his eyes. The only thing alerting him he had hit the bottom was the horrible jarring pain through out his whole body when he slapped back first on the ground. He wheezed and lay motionless when a strange and terrible sound rang out.

 

He hoisted himself up and starred disbelievingly around the cave he appeared to have landed in.

 

There were people, everywhere and were whirling around in what seemed like a giant tornado. They were being yanked left and right like dolls and it seemed any moment they were going to be ripped apart by the awful wind. The screams were quickly drowned out by the roar of the wind. Men and woman pulled in circles around and around perpetually.

 

Naruto blinked and breathed through the pain slowly dulling through his body. A sudden, debilitating thirst made him hiss. He was so thirsty. So thirsty. He looked around at the horribly dry desert and felt a strange depression. There could no be water here - water supported life. He just knew this, for some reason.

 

He starred into the raging wind and could barely get glimpses of people. Could Sasuke be in there? If he was, how would Naruto get him out?

 

He felt someone tap on his shoulder ad looked over. No one was there, but on the other side of the cave was giant creature with eyes filled with such hate, such anger that Naruto felt something inside him churn. Those horrible, red eyes starred straight at him and the monster started running suddenly, along the wall. It was heading towards him!

 

He looked around for a way out, because this monster looked worse than the last and much more intelligent. From his point there was a narrow, dilapidated walk way. He immediately ran onto it and ended up scooting dangerously across it. Oddly, the wind hadn't hit him before, but the narrower the ledge became, the closer the wind seemed to whip. He felt his hair flailing wildly around his head and he looked back. The monster was where Naruto once was and starring very hatefully. Naruto wondered why.

 

What had he done?

 

The monster wasn't going any further, though. Naruto didn't know if this was a good or bad thing.

 

Nonetheless, he kept going, scooting and plastering himself to the crooked, knarled walls of the driest place he had ever been in his life. He looked past him and found it difficult with the whipping wind becoming only stronger, but saw the trail widen. He almost laughed.

 

He continued, on and on until something almost smacked him right across the face. He grimaced and looked through the wind into the roaring circle. Screams were cut short only to be replaced by more screams and bodies seemed stretched and distorted. Faces were hardly recognizable and sometimes sobs could be heard. Suddenly, one person came narrowly close to hitting him and he ducked.

 

It was a very lucky rocked that saved him. His good hand grabbed it barely and he swung himself around, now facing the wall, but luckily not falling off of it. He took a moment to breathe and reassure himself. God was with him.

 

It took so long, it felt, before he was able to walk normally and the wind had died down over here. Naruto stumbled on achy legs before a voice stopped him.

 

“Hey! What are you doing?” The voice was deep and very annoyed.

 

Naruto looked up to see a strange man with a tail reclining on a rock. His beard grew curly down to his chest, the same curly white hair on his head, and a crown topped it off. He looked sternly at Naruto.

 

What was he doing here?

 

Standing straight, he looked resolute at the odd man standing before him. Blue eyes starred into stormy grey ones.

 

“I'm here to get my friend.” He said. “Can you help? His name is Sasuke and-“

 

The man's eyes strayed side ways before he interrupted, “You are not dead. Get lost.” Naruto frowned at the man's rude tone.

 

“No! I won't leave until I have him!”

 

The creature looked irritated before frowning. In a matter of moments this man's facial features changed again and again, portraying his emotions. Naruto looked confused at the odd display and wondered, rather belated, who he was talking to.

 

The man ended with an annoyed looked.

 

“Who're you looking for?” He asked and Naruto brightened considerably.

 

“His name is Sasuke!”

 

“I don't want his name. How did he die?” He asked. Naruto frowned. He was hesitant, because an old pain laced through his chest.

 

“What does that have to do with anything?” He said. The man rolled his eyes.

 

“It has everything to do with anything. How did he die?”

 

“He- he killed himself.”

 

“Well, then,” The man spoke as if he had heard this a hundred times before, “You

won't find him here. He will be in the seventh level.”

 

Naruto frowned. Seventh level?

 

“What do you mean?” The man starred at him as if he was stupid.

 

“I mean the seventh level. Go out that way.” The man pointed behind him, but there was only a wall there. Naruto looked at the man confused who, more than tired of his presence, told him to just go and Naruto slowly stepped forwards. Maybe the door was disguised. As he passed the strange man with a slowly undulating tail, Naruto glanced back at the tornado.

 

He was so, so glad Sasuke was not in there. He closed his eyes and he remembered Sasuke. Who he was going through all this for. He had black hair and fair white skin, a nasty mouth, but a good heart he rarely portrayed. Naruto breathed the horrible stink of Hell and very suddenly felt the earth disappear underneath him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not the end

 

It has been almost a year! My life took a sudden…drop. So, I haven't even had a computer.

 

Enough with excuses. I have read a few books on Hell and found some to be eerily…well, they all seem to somehow say the same thing though they were written by different people in different places and at entirely different times. It's a little scary.

 

Of course, Dante's Inferno is a major inspiration. As many have said, yes that one movie I forgot the name of also inspired.

 

Also, I would like to make some things very clear:

 

Heaven is perfect because you are with God. People get this idea that Heaven is good because it is beautiful and no violence yadda yadda - No! It is because you are finally with God. In Heaven sin no longer separates you and God. So please, do not think this would ever happen.

People who go to Hell stay in Hell. You had your chance all your life. God sacrificed more than enough and everything He could while allowing you to keep your free will, so if you still go to Hell after that then you obviously could not be saved even by God (while keeping your free will)!

Also, in the chapters before this “God” says basically Satan is jealous of man. NOT SO! I read a book once that said Satan betrayed God because he believed God loved man more than him. Satan betrayed God because he wanted to be God. The reason humans get attacked so much is because, well, what better way to the Father than through his children? Satan knows he's going down, but he's going to try and drag every last one of God's children down with him. It's not a fight between God and Satan (God bitch slaps Satan with a glance), but a battle for our souls (sounds cheesy, I know, but the truth is the truth).

Also, remember when Naruto says that he just knows there is no water in Hell? In Hell, there are certain things you just know. Like, that you're in Hell for one. One thing, however, you do not know in Hell is God. Hell is the end - the ultimate separation from Perfect. If you knew God in Hell, you would have hope that He would come for you. Since Hell is hopeless, God takes that knowledge from and thusly, you and God are forever and ever and ever separated. :[
