Hello, this is my frist story, so im hoping it comes out good, please leave a reviews so that i can fix or get some pointers if i say wrigth anything wrong.
Hidden village of the Mist
I stood there, the one i called a partner, dead at my feet, by my own hand. At first i thought it was just a dream, a bad one, but as i walked away from the body, there was no denying. I had killed her, why? Why did i kill here again? Oh, i remember, because i had to, it was the final test. To be used to the life of a Shinobi, to be able to kill your ally if… no, when it happens.
As i continued to walk, i started to think, is this really worth it? If i must kill those around me, am i a human anymore, no, i am no human. Humans do not kill friends… loves, because a man says it. So then, what am i… ah, i must be a monster then… someone who cannot love, who can only kill on command.
I see my teacher at the end, he gives me a toothy grin, "Well done Mukō, you have proven that you have what it takes to become a shinobi of the Mist." He then holds a headband out, a metal plate on the front with the mark of the Mist carved into it. "As of now, you are now a shinobi of the Hidden Mist." I could only stare at it with empty eyes, 'This, this is what i have killed her for… is it worth it?' i thought. My teacher simply claps on the back saying, "Go home for now, in two days you will meet your new sensei. until then, do what you want."
Apartment
As normal, i simply sit alone in my apartment, no one to welcome me, no one to ask about my day, not a single soul outside of the bugs that crawl around. Oddly enough, i find them entertaining, sometimes it even seems like they worship me, just sitting around me while i'm eating, or that's just what i think. but for now i ignore them, heading into my bathroom, washing my hands and face, as i look into the mirror i see my reflection, and my eyes still holding a empty look.
At first glance, i do look a bit scrawny, but it makes for something intimidating, some even have nicknamed me the hungry shark, always hungry, and i usually bite when i'm close to my opponent. Dark blue hair covering my head going down my back, almost to the middle of my back. My mouth filled with jagged teeth, and a face that showed only one emotion, tiredness. My eyes where what unnerved many people however, almost glowing green and containing wide slits, any who look at them takes a step back. What i do know is that it is a Kekkei Genkai, its name, i do not know, that knowledge was lost after my parents died.
The clothes i wear are strange by normal standards, a dark purple cloak covering me me from neck down, a regular net shirt, black pants and a strange dagger that my father gave me before he died. double edged, one side sharp and smooth while the other jagged and cruel. The strangest part was the pummel, seven eyes surrounded by a long tendril, what it meant i do not know. All i do know of it, is its name, simply, Balance.
I am Mukō Haruko, the hungry shark of the Mist
two days after ,Mist academy
"Hey, here he comes" "Want to make a bet of how he would die in his first mission?" "I'm up.". As always, i hear them, whispering about me, wishing i was dead, but never having the courage to actually take up a sword against me, not even a knife. All it takes is too look to quiet them, like always. Tough to my surprise, there are only 6 students here, not including me. I had thought there would be more, perhaps those refused the final test.
"Alright, quiet down brats, you will be paired up with different jonin in teams of three, now, i'll call up the teams, then i say where you will meet your new sensei, first up…" I focused on his voice, silently both excited and worried, i will only know my partners til either they die from a enemy, or i kill them if… when it needs to be done. But as the teacher calling the last team, i was confused… why had i not been called up. Did… did i do something wrong… am i not qualified… Do i not deserve to be on a team with humans mabey?
"Haruko, your name was not called up because you are not on a team, since there only are seven students that survived graduation, you will have to wait for the next graduation then for a team to be produced for you." His says, no sympathy in his eyes whatsoever and then simply walked out of the room,that look along with the words had me thinking only one thing. Why? Was this just all on purpose, did fate always want me to flip the wrong side of the coin? Or… was i really a monster… then maybe… should i prove them wrong? No… what would that prove… what would that prove… this is a place of the cold hearted… Perhaps that's the answer. They believe a shinobi can only cold hearted… then i will prove… that they are correct.
Unnoticed by me, my eyes flashed black when my anger rises… Yes… i will show them… they see me as a monster… then that is what they will get… i will take their fear, their anger, use it for myself… i show them all… what a real monster is… i… i am Rage Unbound! "!" I stopped myself,'What was that… was that… me?... but, yes, i should, i'll show them, what a real monster is!' I thought to myself as i left the academy, a maniac like grin on my face.
Yes… they gave me the name the hungry shark… well, then i will be one… hehehe…
I arrive at my apartment, sitting down, the bugs circle around me, as if waiting for a command. I simply look at one, then i look at all of them, nodding my head slightly. Then they crawl away, going through cracks, some flying outside. but i was not worried, because in my look, i had one simple expression, curiosity. And they answer in kind.
Let me know all, gain knowledge, and return it to me…
Yes… this is a new beginning… this… is our time… the time… of the Void!
