Reborn

The war stopped suddenly. And her mind was her own again.

The first thing Fuu did was rip the kunai from the base of her skull. Pain raced down her spine and through every nerve ending.

The second thing Fuu did was draw the blade across her palm. She held her breath and waited. The too-familiar feeling of her skin cracking and crumbling into clay never came. Instead, fresh blood welled in the wound. Fuu closed her fist around the injury, widening the gash with her nails. Blood dripped onto the muddy ground.

The third thing Fuu did was laugh.
