I do not own Naruto, just the plot.

...Prologue...

A long time ago, before Humans and Angels came to exist, there was a greater form of beings, the Fox lords and the Raven lords. These beings had power unimaginable but with great power, came greed and hatred. What was to be a great dynasty was divided with war and bitterness. The fox lords were just too pure for the Raven lords and the Raven lords were just too dark for the fox lords.

To end the bitterness and bloodshed, the Lord Supremes, decided to build a labyrinth of opposites to divide the two kingdoms. The labyrinth with the end to the Fox lords would fill with evil while that to the Raven lords with goodness. No one from either kingdom would be able to cross over to the other except they were destined soul mates. And it was impossible for a fox to love a raven and verse versa.

However, to make sure this never happens, the cruel acts of the Raven lords and the kind actions of the Fox lords were displayed to each other. A mirror portal was kept in the center of each kingdom to show the activities of both the kingdoms. The idea was that they two kingdom would be so disgusted by these that they would wish nothing to do with each other. And it was sealed in 'beginning magic' that anything contrary to these would bring death and destruction upon the two lands.

...Chapter 1...

Naruto's Pov:

"I'm telling you Lord Prince, they say he's dying." Sakura my ever so talkative best friend said to me.

"That shouldn't be of any concern to us." I answered, sighing within me for I knew my response would just cause more talk.

"But, it would be such a waste; the Raven Prince is quite a ravishing sight." I sighed out loud this time; Sakura could be so crazy sometimes. She was the only one crazy enough to fall for a Raven lord. And the most evil of them all at that.

"I would think it was a waste of death. Someone so evil deserves a far greater punishment worse than death. He doesn't deserve the peace death brings." Surely someone so despicable deserves whatever evil that befalls him.

"Oh come-on, don't start with that again. He is too good-looking to deserve anything less than a glorified death." Seriously Sakura, stop talking.

"Please let me rest Sakura, I do not know why fate would be so cruel to you for you to be born a fox lord. A fox lord can't fancy a Raven lord." I said to her but she smiled a small sad smile and replied

"Stop joking Lord Prince, it's not like we're fated or something." She was using that sad tone again. Ugh! Now I have to work hard to cheer her up.

"Don't sound so gloomy, I'm sure the Raven lords will figure out something." I tried to console her of the thought of her ill-fated love dying.

"Of course he won't die. He's just to cool." Oh Sakura! Sometimes, I wonder how you can be so superficial. You're a Fox lord for god sake. But then, that perfect picture we paint for the outside world is not what it truly is and that bothers me.

Sasuke's pov:

"What do you mean there is nothing we can do?" My brother was getting impatient with the Lord physician.

"Is there no way to maybe remove the curse mark?" He asked again, he sounded desperate for a solution. Of course he's desperate; I'm his only relative left. He needs me to keep up the stench of evil in the kingdom. But sometimes I wonder if his actions signify that he cares for me. How pathetic! If he were not Lord Supreme, I would question if he was truly a Raven lord.

"Lord Kakashi, please, there must be something we can do." Itachi was now showing the worry on his face. Damn it! If he's this worried, I must really be dying and there is so much that is left undone. I can't do that if I'm dead. Damn it! Itachi do something although any action you take will be your ruin.

"There is something that can be done but it is nearly impossible." This idiot had an option all along and kept quiet about it? He's very lucky I'm dying or...

"Nearly? Then there is a probability that it is possible." Supreme Itachi seemed almost hopeful.

"Yes, in theory." Out with it already you fool!

"What do you mean? If there is something that can be done, then out with it." Exactly Itachi!

"The Lord Prince needs the heart of the purest Fox lord." What did he just say? The heart of what?

"The heart of the purest Fox lord?" Itachi sounded as surprised as I am.

"Yes Lord Supreme, Lord Prince has the heart of the darkest Raven lord and the curse is eating into the heart of that darkness. The heart of the purest being in existence, filled with love, kindness and hope would heal the wound and restore the life source." Blah! You have got to be kidding me! The heart of a fox lord?

"Hhmm! Lord Kakashi, how can I possibly survive something said to be so pure. You forget pure energy can alter our dark energy and kill us. I'm trying to live here and you're suggesting the surest way to die?" This must a plot to get rid of me.

The idiot smirked through that hideous mask of his. What the hell is he smirking about?

"You don't have to worry about that Lord Prince, there's just enough darkness within you to keep that from happening." He smirked that stupid smirk again and I wanted to run a sword through that face of his. Too bad I'm dying; I'm not to use up too much dark energy. But then there is another problem.

"But you forget Lord Kakashi, there is one more problem." Itachi seems to be reading my mind and the Lord Physician knew it too as he nodded.

"Yes, the labyrinth of opposites." Ugh! That dreadful place! I had once wandered there when I was younger to seek passage to the Fox kingdom so as to wipe out that disgusting existence from the face of the earth. Unfortunately, the disgusting purity of that place wiped off all my men, I was the only one to make it out. That experience haunted me for ages and there's no way I'm going back there.

"There may be a way to get through the labyrinth." What!

"I once heard of a boy born in a certain village on the hottest and coldest day. It is said that he is neither a Fox lord nor a Raven lord, because he is not pure enough neither is he dark enough. In his mind, is held the long forgotten beginning magic of yin and yang. He should be able to get a few numbers of Raven lords and the Prince through the labyrinth for a short period of time. The problem is, no one has been able to find him and believe me, people have been looking." Sounds like fantasy to me.

"Then we will search again, scorch every village and city if we have to and find him. If there is a chance that we can save my brother, then we must take it." Itachi can be irrational sometimes, he's forgetting something.

"What about the beginning magic?" I asked the question everyone has been avoiding asking.

"Don't worry about that. What's a little death and destruction? We have been living in peaceful times for too long, it's about time us Raven lords returned to our former glory in battle." And that's why father left the throne to him. I might be the darkest Raven lord but he is the Lord Supreme. But it won't stay like this forever.

"Very well then, it is settled. Tomorrow, I and the Lord Prince will set out to find the Lord of yin and yang." And when we do, it won't be pretty for anyone Lord Kakashi. It won't be pretty!
