I've Become Powerful
Jutsu Name: Vacuum sword
Rank- C rank
Type- Kenjutsu, ninjutsu
Element- Wind
Description- The user swings their blade and a gust of wind is released in the arc that it was swung in. The technique is strong enough to stop projectiles that are thrown at the user.
Jutsu Name: Wind cutter technique
Rank- B rank
Type- Kenjutsu, ninjutsu
Element- Wind
Description- This technique allows the user to divide and neutralize a Wind Release technique, making it harmless. The user can even redirect the opponent's attacks to them.
Jutsu Name: Fire Style: Super-heated armor
Rank- A rank
Type- ninjutsu
Element- Fire
Description-The Fire Release Armor is a technique similar to that of the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Armor but is used a bit differently. The technique does not give the user heightened reflexes like the Lightning Release Armor does to the Fourth Raikage, instead, it increases the body temperature of the user to give him a burning touch and protects him from non-water based attacks. Due to the fact that it is related with fire, if the user uses the Fire Release Armor for too long it will begin to slowly burn body tissue by pieces, this will eventually lead to the user’s death unknowingly. If doused by water or a Water Release jutsu, the technique will be wiped out.
Jutsu Name: Wind release: pressure damage
Rank-B rank
Type-Ninjutsu
Element- Wind
Description-A tornado-like mass is compressed until it has a very high density and is then released. The wind pressure is raised to its highest limit, and once the technique hits the target, the resulting blast sweeps everyone off their feet.
If the technique is used by someone who has mastered wind nature transformation, the blast can hit a vast range, inflicting massive damage on both the target and their surroundings.
Jutsu Name: Fire Style: Searing death
Rank- A rank
Type-Ninjutsu
Element- Fire
Description- The user first converts their chakra into a flammable liquid and shoots it at their target. The user then exhales a steady stream of fire from their nose to ignite the liquid. This jutsu works one of three ways. The first way is to shoot all of the flammable liquid at once, which is powerful, but unfocused and doesn't last long. The second way is to shoot the flammable liquid in a continuous stream, which is slightly weaker, but is easier to control and lasts longer. The third way is to shoot the flammable liquid in multiple smaller blasts. The third way is the weakest, but enables the user to hit multiple targets. This technique is highly beneficial because the flammable liquid sticks to whatever it hits, causing it to burn longer.
I Am Unique
Jutsu Name: Fire Release: Ten thousand fire flies
Inherited from- Honoka and Akise created this technique together shortly after the Uchiha massacre
Rank-B rank
Type- Ninjutsu
Element-Fire
Description- The user brings his hand to his mouth and blows out a stream of small sparks that appear to be harmless and float in the air. With a wave of his hand, the sparks shoot forward with the ability to rip through the human body

Look Out World, I've Arrived
"Dad, I'm so sorry." I cry into my dying father's bloody shirt. "No son, I'm sorry I shouldn't have pushed you so hard, I just wanted you to succeed." My father weakly smiled. "One day you will become a great ninja, maybe even a kage." I sob as I looked to my father's face "I can't do it without you dad, I need you."
My dad turned his head up to face my mother and nodded his head. "Son I'll always be with you." I look up to see my mother swiftly dig her fingers into my father's face. "What are you doing?" I scream at my mother. "No, it's ok." My father grunted through the pain. "Honoka you are a master swordsman, and one day you will become one of the best in the world, but I'm going to give you a boost."
My mother griped his eye gently and tugged just hard enough to keep the optical nerve intact. She placed one eye into a jar and went back to grab the next one. She jabbed her finger into the socket and grasped the eye tugging once again splattering blood all over mine and my father's faces.
"My dad grabbed me by the back of my head and slowly moved my face towards his.”Son, I want you to know, I love you, no matter what." I sniffle. "I love you too dad." My dad lets go of my head and looked to one of my swords.
*I know what I have to do*
I slowly rise to my feet and draw my sword. "Goodbye dad, I will make you proud." I slice my dad's throat as quickly as I can.
*I can no longer cry... I have to carry on, for him... He loved me... He died happy... I will die happy... No sadness.*
My mother places her blood soaked hand on my shoulder. "Lay down somewhere comfortable, we should get these eyes in now." I weakly walk over to my bedroom and lie down on the bed, I wave my mom over. "Let's get this over with." And she begins the operation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*I can only see darkness but, I can see everything at the same time, endless wisdom, endless answers, endless possibility, yet ultimately only sadness, I can only muster up the courage to laugh.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I awake I'm soaked in blood, not my own, and not my father's. I want to say I'm sorry but I can only laugh. I sheath my sword and walk out the door.
*There is nothing for me here; there is nothing for me anywhere. I want to cry but for some reason, I laugh.*

What's Past Is Past
Childhood
Honoka was born in a small hut on the outskirts of konoha, he was mostly separated from the rest of the village both geologically and mentally, because of the training his father, a very strict swordsman originating from konoha, gave him he had a very large sense of superiority, when any of the other children in konoha would try to associate with him he would write them off as immature brats even thought he was no older than they. He joined the academy at the age of 7, he balanced his academy training with the training he did with his father at home. All of the discipline from hours upon hours of training left him a very serious attitude, hardly ever showing a smile let alone a laugh. Little did his father know Honoka was a much damaged sociopath and the constant strain on his young mind continuously pushed him farther into insanity.
Honoka was barely a academy student when the attack on konoha happened, at his young age he couldn’t quite understand why it happened, but he saw the pain on people’s faces, yet he was still unaffected. He saw much of the battle from his house; the only thing that scarred him was the thought of losing his parents, but it didn't come to that.
Honoka Graduated from the academy at the young age of 10, two years before the average genin. He was put on a normal squad lead by a random jonin of the village; Honoka couldn’t remember his name if he tried, and 1 girl and one boy. Having these people on his squad meant nothing to him and he knew as soon as he graduated to chunin he would never speak to them again, this was his plan of course, but things didn’t pan out the way he had really wanted. He had spent his entire life detached from society, apart from everyone else, so when he developed feelings for Akise Nara his squad member he became constantly distracted, making him less efficient on missions, and less focused on training. He hated his feelings; he knew it would be normal to feel this way about a girl, but thinking this way about his male teammate, he wanted to protect him keep his safe, he would do anything for him. Honoka felt this way for months before he couldn’t help it anymore, he needed to tell his teammate about his feelings.
Honoka, even though he’d been on a squad for months now was still not sure how people were supposed to act towards each other, he couldn’t pick up on small social cues, or even large hints, like the ones Akise had been dropping since the first day they met. Akise felt the same about Honoka but still didn’t know if the boy would feel the same. Akise, unlike others in the village, thought that Honoka’s little quirks weren’t weird, but cute instead.
One day after training Honoka thought it was time, when his sensei and other teammate left the training field he slowly approached the one he believed to love. “Akise-kun.” The boy called to get Akise’s attention. “Yes Honoka?” Akise asked with his usual cute demeanor. “Well, we’ve known each other for a while now and, w-well I-I think that you’re really s-strong and that you could teach me a lot, so w-we should like train a-alone a lot more.” Honoka’s face burned red with embarrassment, he couldn’t say what he wanted, but the thought of trying almost killed him. Akise picked up on what the boy was trying to say. He slowly moved closer to the boy, blood rushing to his face. “Honoka, may I kiss you.” Honoka almost passed out when he was asked this question he didn’t know if this was real. “Y-yeah.” Honoka managed to stutter out. “Good.” Akise said smiling as he moved his lips to honoka’s The kiss probably only lasted a couple of seconds, but to Honoka it felt like years. This was the first time he felt somewhat normal, he truly felt emotion.

This was the first time he felt somewhat normal, he truly felt emotion.
Family trouble
Akise and Honoka kept their relationship secret for about four years before they had decided to tell the village, by this time they were both respected chunin of the village and had done many important missions for the safety of the village. They had even got to do some work with the anbu black ops. When they finally told the village they were met with little judgment, most people had actually already assumed, but unfortunately two of the people who judged them were Honoka’s parents, his mother was only disappointed that she would have no grandchildren, but his father felt ashamed that he had raised a son who would do something like date a man. Honoka hated his father for making him feel that way about himself. His father even tried multiple times to take away the family swords he was given when he completed the chunin exams. His father would challenge him to duals in an attempt to win them back from his son. Honoka’s skills as a swordsman had already surpassed his father’s, it didn’t matter that he possessed the sharingan, Honoka’s skills were still far to advanced.
Honoka couldn’t take the judgment of his father any longer, Akise could see the pain that his loved one was going through, and he decided it was his responsibility to take in the one he loved. Honoka moved in with Akise two years after being out and life was finally good again. He still saw his mother and father just far less than he had before, and for that he was thankful.
Shortly after Honoka moved into His lovers apartment he heard news of the uchiha massacre, Although he had never been close to the boy he knew Itachi, and it surprised him that he would do something like that, but a lot had changed after Shisui’s death. Overall the massacre meant little to the boy’s life; all he cared about was his lover.
Honoka stayed with Akise happy for about a year before the next big thing in his life happened, the death of his parents.
Honoka went to his parents’ house for a meet with his mother, over the years she had finally accepted her son for who he was, and even grew to love her son’s lover. His father still didn’t accept him, and actually started to grow hatred for his son’s strength, he was jealous that his son had surpassed his strength. In one last desperate attempt to take back what he had given to his son, he challenged Honoka to a sword fight to the death, while Honoka and his mother tried to convince his father against the challenge, there was no changing his mind, Honoka’s father was set to kill Honoka. Honoka was determined to save his father’s life, even though he knew there was no way he would lose to his father.
As the battle started the fight went as it usually would, Honoka taking decisive strikes towards the man, leaving him little room to evade, Honoka’s ferocity in battle was known throughout the village, for it use of almost pure offence. He backed his father into a corner in the first five minutes of the fight, but this was what his father was hoping for as he took advantage of Honoka’s mercy striking as his thought the battle was over. The blade slipped easily through Honoka and cut directly across his chest, splattering blood across the ground and his body. Honoka dropped his swords and fell weakly to his knees, The pain from the gash was intense, he was slowly slipping out of consciousness as he looked up to his father. His father looked down to his son laughing, “This is where your story ends, but don’t worry I’ll tell your boyfriend what happened next time he’s around.” His father said maliciously. Honoka couldn’t imagine his father becoming this, he loved his father why couldn’t his father love him. He felt himself become overwhelmed with questions and feelings. He hated his father, but loved him, he hated himself for being the way he was, and he hated Akise for causing this tear between him and his father. Honoka slowly pushed himself back to his feet, his sight foggy from the loss of blood. “I Hate you!” Honoka screamed as he rocketed towards his father one sword in hand his body limps from pain. He, using all of his strength, repeatedly slammed his blade into his fathers. Honoka’s new uncaring fighting style caught his father of guard, and then the blade made contact. The blade slid easily into and out of his father’s body leaving a large gash in his father’s stomach. The two men collapsed in unison.
Honoka regained consciousness as he was being dug into the house by his frantic mother. He slowly stood and regained his balance. He looked down to see his body taped up, it was a quick job but would hold as long as he was careful. He saw his father lying on the kitchen table, his entrails almost entirely gone from his body. His mother rushed over to him and begun trying to use medical Ninjutsu but his father stopped her, he knew he deserved what he got. Honoka approached his father and looked into his eyes, his father apologized for what he had done to his son before his mother removed the sharingan and Honoka took his own fathers life.
Honoka’s mother knew that he would have to have the eyes implanted as soon as possible; she pointed him to his old bed and began surgery. In his unconscious state Honoka believed that he had seen every ending to every possibility and the only thing you could do in life was enjoy your time there. When he awoke he found that he had murdered his mother shortly after surgery with no recollection of the event. He decided his best option was to hide his parent’s bodies.

When he awoke he found that he had murdered his mother shortly after surgery with no recollection of the event. He decided his best option was to hide his parent’s bodies.
Second hunt
Honoka successfully hid his parent’s body, claiming his father committed suicide, then shortly after implanting his eyes his mother did as well. Luckily His parents were not very well known in the village so his lie was easily accepted. He got many looks of pity in the village, and this made him feel weak, not even a month went by before he wanted to feel the rush a murder again. The sharingan had changed him; he wasn’t the person he was when he had met Akise, and soon his love for the boy had become second to his need for blood. He knew he would need to do it again; he just needed to find the right person.
For about a week he scanned the village for someone that he thought would be suitable prey, then he found one; his ex-squad mate Asuna Hishigaku. After she graduated from chunin she moved in with her boyfriend a young uchiha from the village, unfortunately for her Itachi Uchiha slaughtered her boyfriend soon after they moved in together, lucky for bothe her and Honoka she was on a misson. After his death she gave up on being a ninja and instead worked in a small scroll shop near the hokage’s office. Although Akise kept up with her, Honoka didn’t pay her much mind after their squad was disbanded.
So Honoka watched her and over a month learned her schedule. By doing this he learned the perfect time, every Friday night she would go to the memorial of the uchiha, just outside of the village; this is when he would strike. When the day finally came he followed her like usual this time wearing a long dark cloak and a white mask, When she reached the shrine he allowed her to sit and begin her weekly tradition of remembrance. When Honoka saw her stand he approached, “Asuna Hishigaku, You have suffered for long enough, Prepare to meet your lover.” Before she could respond Honoka stuck her with his blade easily slicing her jugular. As she fell to her knees she looked up at him, he pulled of his mask revealing a large maniacal smile. Tears filled her eyes as she saw her old friend standing above her, “Why?” she said as blood splattered from her mouth. “Because I know your pain.” Honoka said as he turned to walk away.
It was only about a day before people found the girl’s body near the statue. While many people in the village thought it was another village or missing nin the village treated it like a murder, the one thing Honoka was worried about. Honoka knew he wouldn’t be a suspect, as a well-known ninja in the village he doubted anyone would turn the finger towards him, so he lived his life normally, just being happy with Akise who, unlike Honoka, actually kept up with Asuna. Akise loved Asuna like a sister, so her death made him a wreck it took him months to get over it.
For about a week he scanned the village for someone that he thought would be suitable prey, then he found one; his ex-squad mate Asuna Hishigaku. After she graduated from chunin she moved in with her boyfriend a young uchiha from the village, unfortunately for her Itachi Uchiha slaughtered her boyfriend soon after they moved in together, lucky for bothe her and Honoka she was on a misson. After his death she gave up on being a ninja and instead worked in a small scroll shop near the hokage’s office. Although Akise kept up with her, Honoka didn’t pay her much mind after their squad was disbanded.
So Honoka watched her and over a month learned her schedule. By doing this he learned the perfect time, every Friday night she would go to the memorial of the uchiha, just outside of the village; this is when he would strike. When the day finally came he followed her like usual this time wearing a long dark cloak and a white mask, When she reached the shrine he allowed her to sit and begin her weekly tradition of remembrance. When Honoka saw her stand he approached, “Asuna Hishigaku, You have suffered for long enough, Prepare to meet your lover.” Before she could respond Honoka stuck her with his blade easily slicing her jugular. As she fell to her knees she looked up at him, he pulled of his mask revealing a large maniacal smile. Tears filled her eyes as she saw her old friend standing above her, “Why?” she said as blood splattered from her mouth. “Because I know your pain.” Honoka said as he turned to walk away.
It was only about a day before people found the girl’s body near the statue. While many people in the village thought it was another village or missing nin the village treated it like a murder, the one thing Honoka was worried about. Honoka knew he wouldn’t be a suspect, as a well-known ninja in the village he doubted anyone would turn the finger towards him, so he lived his life normally, just being happy with Akise who, unlike Honoka, actually kept up with Asuna.

A New Friend
Honoka’s eighteenth birthday came pretty quickly after that with not much excitement other than a few missions. On his eighteenth birthday he was called into the hokage’s office when he was officially promoted to jonin by the hokage. On Honoka’s way home he was met by a small blond haired boy crying in the road, When honoka approached the boy quickly stopped and looked up to him. Honoka kneeled down, “What’s wrong Honoka said with a smile.” While Honoka was well known in the village he didn’t spend time with anyone but Akise son he knew little about the Jinchuuriki of the hidden leaf, he only really knew he existed, not the boy’s name or what he looked like. The boy looked up to him. “Nothing’s wrong just leave me alone.” The boy’s aggression shocked Honoka, but he just gave the boy a smile. “Well I guess you’re crying for no reason then.” The boy looked at him with anger. “I wasn’t crying.” Honoka laughed at this. “I guess you don’t have to tell me what’s wrong, but at least let me try to help.” The boy looked at him with a much softer face this time. “How would you make me feel better?” Honoka smiled and stood up. “I was just about to go get dinner; If you want I’ll buy you some as well.” The young boy smiled. “If you’ll pay.” Honoka laughed as he put out his hand to help the boy up.
Honoka walked with the boy towards his favorite restaurant, Ichiraku ramen. When he and the boy walked in many people stood and left, even tuechi gave Honoka a weird look when they sat down, But honoka paid them no attention. “So what’s your name anyway?” the young boy asked. “My name is Honoka Saitou, jonin of konoha, and you” “I’m Naruto Uzumaki, academy student, and one day Hokage, Believe it.” Honoka laughed at his new friend’s sudden emotional change. Honoka looked at teuchi, “Me and himwill have your finest ramen, and don’t forget you’re serving the future Hokage, so make it the best you’ve ever made.” The two continued to talk about different things while their dinner was being made. They talked about Naruto’s life and how he’d never met his parents but how the hokage took care of him, and Honoka talked about how his parent’s had died and how he missed them, then about his ex-teammate. Soon teuchi brought the bowls of ramen and Honoka smiled at his friend, “Hope you enjoy no one makes ramen like this place it’s my favorite.” Naruto and Honoka dug in and it wasn’t long before they were both finished. Honoka laid the money down on the counter and stood. “It was fun Naruto but I have to go now, someone’s waiting for me, oh and whatever was wrong before just know, things change, but you have to make them.” Honoka smiled then walked out of the restaurant and towards his home.

Escape
Honoka was surprised when he returned home to see five Anbu agents standing in front of his home with his boyfriend Aksie, who was arguing with them. “He would never do that, He’s not that type of person.” Akise screamed at a white haired Anbu agent. The agent disregarded Akise when Honoka came into view. “Honoka Saitou you are under arrest for the murder of Asuna Hishigaku, Yukiteru Saitou, and Mikan Saitou.” Akise ran past the Anbu agents and rushed to Honoka, leaning his body on his lover. “Tell them you didn’t do it Honoka; tell them it’s a mistake.” Honoka looked to his lover whose face was now soaked with tears. “I-I’m sorry.” Honoka managed to mutter out while trying to hide his sobs. Akise stepped away from Honoka, looking at him with eyes filled with fear, pain, hatred, and confusion. “H-How could you do that to Asuna, she loved you!” He screamed as he threw a punch at honoka’s face. Although Honoka could’ve easily caught the punch he didn’t he knew he deserved it. The punch made contact and a small amount of blood dribbled out of the corner of his mouth. “P-Please don’t hate me.” Honoka whispered as he sobbed, before Aksie could stop him Honoka hit a small point on his neck making him drop to the floor in the blink of an eye. The Anbu readied themselves for battle. Honoka began to laugh loudly as he looked to the group in front of him. Hatred had now taken control of the man, he rushed forward without thinking. “You ruined it, I loved him, I loved my life, and you ruined it!” He screamed as he struck down a single Anbu agent then spun to attack another. Almost instantly Honoka regretted the decision to attack head on as the whited haired Anbu agent brought a Tanto down on his shoulder slashing it open. Honoka screamed in pain, but before he could retaliate a kunai was lodged into his side. Honoka knew where this battle was going; He slammed a smoke bomb onto the ground and took off at full speed down the streets of konoha. Luckily for him his speed gave him a large advantage over the Anbu squad as he eventually made his escape into the surrounding forests of the land of fire.
Honoka spent about a week running from the Anbu before he thought he could finally rest. He had lived on things he hunted in the forest for the days on the run, but now that he was clear of the Anbu he decided he would try to stop in a small town for food and rest for the night before he continued. He dawned his black cloak and walked into a small tavern. He walked to the bar and laid some money on the counter then asked for a bottle of Sake. The bartender took the money and brought him the bottle, Honoka picked it up and took a long drink before sitting and putting his arms on the bar. “Can I get you anything else?” the man asked. Honoka looked at him and asked, “Is there anywhere to get ramen around here?”
Honoka woke up the next day with a hangover and the smell of pork on his breath. He slowly stood and walked to a nearby mirror, his hair was a jumbled mess and his head was killing him. That is when he saw it, in the mirror he saw a figure lying in the bed. He looked back and slowly moved towards the bed; when he got to the bed he lightly pulled back the sheets to see a beautiful young woman. Honoka moved away from the bed and put his hands over his face, What had he done, he couldn’t believe he’d do something like this, especially at a time like this. He gathered his clothes and moved towards the door. He looked back, and laughed, then opened the door and went back to his journey.

Journey
Honoka continued his journey until his nineteenth birthday, in that time he traveled to both the village hidden in the sand and the village hidden in the rain, meeting many people, some he learned things from and some people he only spent a night with. During his adventure he learned things about himself, and about the world, he learned his limits, he also learned not to take the world so seriously, and he also learned about a secretive group called the Akatsuki. All he knew is that they were a group of S-rank criminals, and that they were a group of people he would probably fit in with well.
The only problem is he didn’t know how to get in contact with them; he had been trying since about half way through his journey, this is what brought him to the Village hidden in the rain. According to rumor the Akatsuki had heavy dealings in Amegakure, and Honoka wanted to find out what this meant. When He arrived in the place he was taken by the sights, he had always liked rain; it reminded him of when him Akise would cuddle up together on cold nights on the patio and watch the rainfall on Konoha.
He stayed for weeks in the village, looking for clues about the Akatsuki anything he could find about them. After much searching for answers he had finally gotten a lead, an anonymous tip told him that if he went to the leader of Amegakure, he would find what he was looking for. It took him a week but eventually he found who he was looking for. Honoka scheduled a meeting with the leader of the village a young man with orange hair and multiple facial piercings, who went by the name of pein.
When they finally got the chance to meet Honoka questioned him about the organization known as the akatsuki and what he could tell him about it. Pein denied any dealings with the organization, or even of knowing of the organization’s existence. Although Honoka didn’t believe him there was nothing he could do to gain any more information left the leader to his business.
Not wanting to give up, Honoka stayed in the village in an attempt to find anything more out about the group. Little did he know the group had already known about him, and he had been leaving quite the trail back to himself. Honoka awoken with a set of deep red eyes above him, he rolled out of his bed and pointed his weapon at the figure standing above him. Soon his eyes adjusted to the darkness, “I-Itachi?” Honoka said as he smiled at the boy he had once known. “Honoka Saitou, We you have been searching for us. “A deep voice said from behind him.” When Honoka turned he saw a large blue skinned man. “Why?” Itachi said starring at Honoka. Honoka stood and sheathed his weapon. “I have nowhere to go; I am a wanted Criminal and am hated by my own village.” The blue hired man stepped into the light his animalistic features now shown perfectly “So?” he said with a large sharp toothed smile. “So, I want revenge on the bastards that did this to me, and I think you can help me with that.” “Why would we?” The smaller uchiha asked. “Because, I heard you’d take anyone that’s not afraid to kill for you.” Itachi and the large blue man looked at each other and back to Honoka.
Honoka Had been in the Akatsuki for months now, he had yet to go on a mission but he had me the other members, He enjoyed the other members, their stories and their company it was good to finally meet some people like him again.

Look Out World, I've Arrived
"Dad, I'm so sorry." I cry into my dying father's bloody shirt. "No son, I'm sorry I shouldn't have pushed you so hard, I just wanted you to succeed." My father weakly smiled. "One day you will become a great ninja, maybe even a kage." I sob as I looked to my father's face "I can't do it without you dad, I need you."
My dad turned his head up to face my mother and nodded his head. "Son I'll always be with you." I look up to see my mother swiftly dig her fingers into my father's face. "What are you doing?" I scream at my mother. "No, it's ok." My father grunted through the pain. "Honoka you are a master swordsman, and one day you will become one of the best in the world, but I'm going to give you a boost."
My mother griped his eye gently and tugged just hard enough to keep the optical nerve intact. She placed one eye into a jar and went back to grab the next one. She jabbed her finger into the socket and grasped the eye tugging once again splattering blood all over mine and my father's faces.
"My dad grabbed me by the back of my head and slowly moved my face towards his.”Son, I want you to know, I love you, no matter what." I sniffle. "I love you too dad." My dad lets go of my head and looked to one of my swords.
*I know what I have to do*
I slowly rise to my feet and draw my sword. "Goodbye dad, I will make you proud." I slice my dad's throat as quickly as I can.
*I can no longer cry... I have to carry on, for him... He loved me... He died happy... I will die happy... No sadness.*
My mother places her blood soaked hand on my shoulder. "Lay down somewhere comfortable, we should get these eyes in now." I weakly walk over to my bedroom and lie down on the bed, I wave my mom over. "Let's get this over with." And she begins the operation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*I can only see darkness but, I can see everything at the same time, endless wisdom, endless answers, endless possibility, yet ultimately only sadness, I can only muster up the courage to laugh.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I awake I'm soaked in blood, not my own, and not my father's. I want to say I'm sorry but I can only laugh. I sheath my sword and walk out the door.
*There is nothing for me here; there is nothing for me anywhere. I want to cry but for some reason, I laugh.*
Wait, Akatsuki? I'll get to that.
