“You cannot hold me,” I snarl, even as my reluctantly upside-down footsteps mirror yours.
Bonds.
“I’ll always be behind you,” I pledge, even as I fade, knowing how empty it will be.
Oaths.
“It took me a long time to really see you,” I silently apologize, even as we run side by side.
Xystus.
“You’re weak,” I sneer, even as you listen not, believing we’re equals.
Endurance.
“He’s reflected in you,” I think, even as I watch your training from above, the book half-opened and waiting.
Struggles.
“Hokage,” I entice, even as my distance before you grows ever shorter.
Naruto.

Author’s Note: “Xystus” is the plural for “xyst”. The definition for that word is: A long and open portico, for athletic exercises, as wrestling, running, etc., for use in winter or in stormy weather. Hmm, you can read a lot into the words I chose, and at the same time...Well, all of those one line words set off by themselves? Yeah, that was my lame attempt to spell out the word "boxes" + "Naruto". ^^;
Yup yup, it's a Naruto-centric character study drabble thing. I really wanted to write about another character that I haven't touched upon yet, but I couldn't fight against Naruto. He just fit.
Constructive comments and critiques are adored!
