(Not Human)
Loud footsteps echoed around the burning mansion. Everything was on fire- and the smoke was quickly suffocating everything. A woman panted heavily. Her dress clung onto her body a little loosely and her make up was smudged due to sweat. Strands of hair was sticking on her forehead. She looked quite a mess and she kept looking behind her to see if he was following her. He still was. Her purple eyes widened and she screamed. "Don't... Don't come near me! Go away, you monster!" A dead end. She stopped and turned around, stepping back until her back hit the wall. She trembled in fear as she looked at the small figure slowly approaching her in worry. But he must be acting. He was a monster.. A face of a child stepped out, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion and worry. "M-Mom? Why are you running away from me? Why do you...keep calling me a monster..?" His eyes watered in hurt as she glared at him with so much disgust and fear. "Stop acting, you monster! You... You're not my son.. You're a monster!" He bit his lower lip, feeling his heart ache. What should he do? What was he supposed to do?
She didn't stop- "You're a monster! You killed HIM- You killed my husband-" She sobbed as hot fat tears went down her cheeks. His eyes widened in fear, stepping closer to his mother, "M-Mom... I had to kill Dad. I-It had to be done!" He smiled ruefully, his face bloody. To his mother, right about now he really looked like a monster. He had to kill his father. He was hurting her! And... and he did something to him.. H-He placed something inside of him and that that resided in his mind! A shoe was slapped away by an unknown force and he stepped back in fear. The woman, his mom, who had thrown a shoe at him laughed humorlessly. The unknown force that came from within him protected him once again. "Don't call him that! He's not your dad... You're the child of a monster! Nobody could've possibly done that.. Something is inside you.." She spat with so much venom. "I'd rather die than be called a mom from a demon like you!"
He's a demon? Huh. I'll show you a real demon.
And just like that- he saw purple. He completely lost control of...whatever was inside him. The purple aura surrounded his body. He heard his mom's screams as everything was torn apart- blood and organs painting the walls of the burning mansion. He was a monster- a monster- a monster-
(Not Human).......
Toshio's eyes opened and he stared at the ceiling of his room. Birds were chirping outside and rays of the sun hit his face as they went through the thin curtain on his window. He slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes, stretching his body. He refused to acknowledge that he dreamt about that again. With a sigh, he did his usual morning routine. As he stepped out of the bathroom, his boxers, socks, shoes and school uniform started floating to him. To a normal person, their reaction would probably to scream and assume it was a ghost. To an 'unusual' person like him, his reaction would be normal like nothing was happening at all.
Perhaps it was similar to having kinetic abilities.
He grabbed everything and quickly dressed up, grabbing his bag and headphones before he walked out of his apartment. He wasn't strong. But whatever it was that was inside him; it was strong. He walked with an intimidating aura surrounding him. He held his head high, ignoring everybody around him. He could see students ahead of him also walking while laughing and talking to each other. Toshio walked a bit faster, passing them and he felt their stares and heard their whispers.
'He's really scary... But he's so handsome!''He's a loner right? And he doesn't have a girlfriend.''Maybe he's gay?''Maybe he's just not interested.''Aww I really like him though..'
Girls. Women. Female. He hated them with a passion. The reason for it? Probably because of his poor excuse of a mother. She was the reason why he had turned out to be this way. A hand suddenly grabbed his hand and he twitched in annoyance, slowly looking to his side. He was greeted with a bright cheerful smile. "Good morning, Toshio-kun! Let's walk to school together as usual, neh?"
Haru, a really annoying girl that had been pressing herself onto him for the past few weeks now, wrapped her arms around his arm. He, of course, tried ignoring her and even coldly brushed her off a couple of times but that had been futile. She was still very persistent. She was useful though, in a way. She kept those girls away from him.
He eyed her uniform, noticing that her skirt was shorter than usual. And her blouse was lower than usual, showing off her cleavage. He glanced away and kept walking, not even greeting her back. She pouted and flipped her Amber hair back. "Mou, so cold!" She still smiled cheerfully and just started rambling on and on, practically talking his ears off.
He rolled his eyes as she started talking about how boys really liked her and that she only wanted him. Typical of her. She was so damn annoying.
Then kill her...
He stopped walking, his head suddenly aching in pain. Haru also stopped and she stared at him in confusion, "What's wrong, Toshio-kun?" He ignored her once again, grabbing his head. There it was again! That voice...
Who are you and what do you want from me? He asked inside his head. He was met with silence. Toshio narrowed his eyes in annoyance as Haru started rambling again. "Does your head hurt? We should hurry up and go to the clinic then, are you sick?" The idea of killing her tempted him right now.
Is she a hindrance to you?
Toshio flinched as his head ached once again. Yes, she was a hindrance to him. His head hurt so bad- he started walking once again, not even looking back to see if Haru was following him. He later heard her footsteps as she walked beside him, "Mou, talk to me will ya? Are you mute? I haven't even heard you utter a sound for the past few weeks!" She sighed dramatically as she grabbed his hand again.
Wordlessly, he slapped her hand off and she stumbled back in shock. Her Amber eyes widened, "H-Hey? What's wrong?" Haru wasn't dumb. She knew he was angry- but his eyes...it just seemed so demonic at the moment. Toshio's purple eyes glared at her- something was inside those eyes that just demanded her to leave him alone. She gulped quietly as beads of sweat fall down to the side of her face.
She watched him in silence as he walked away from her once again, his hands on his pockets. Some female students passed her, some of them looking back at her and giggling in a mock manner. They saw what happened after all. With a huff, she crossed her arms and pouted. And then she heard it.
The loud honk of a truck.
Haru looked to the side with her eyes so wide- a truck was heading towards her direction. She opened her mouth to scream but it was cut off when the front of the truck hit her body with a sickening crunch. Huh. She wasn't even on the road.
Screaming everywhere. Pain was all what she could feel. She could feel her heart slowing to a stop as she lay on the pool of her own blood, facing the direction where Toshio walked off a few moments ago. Despite the students surrounding her and trying to help her, despite her body literally broken, she could see him.
Toshio slowly looked back and met her eyes, stopping. He stared at her with no emotions on his face whatsoever. He wasn't human. He held something inside him, something dangerous that would do anything he wanted just to satisfy or just to protect him. He recalled what the voice told him a few moments ago.
We'll kill her then.
Toshio wasn't human. His eyes glowed purple and a sinister smirk appeared on his face as Haru's eyes became dull.
He was a monster.
(Not Human)
"So if we multiply this number to this number, we would get..." Toshio tuned out his teacher's boring voice. He was in math class and he didn't want to listen to his teacher's useless blabbing. Sometimes he wonder why he even bother going to school. What a drag.
He looked around and saw everyone in class also not listening to their useless teacher. He rest his head on his palm and closed his eyes, hearing their whispers. They were talking about Haru, their schoolmate who had been hit by a truck.. The man kept screaming that he wasn't the one who did it. That something controlled the truck. That was true, he knew since he was the cause of that but of course, they didn't believe the man. The man was brought to the police station and Haru was brought to the hospital despite knowing she didn't make it. She couldn't have possibly made it. He made sure of that. It made sure of that.
He opened his eyes and promptly stood up, drawing everyone's eyes to him. Even the teacher's, but he didn't question him. He knew better than to question him. He placed his headphones around his ears and walked out, feeling their eyes following him. He glanced at the class making some girls swoon and boys to feel intimidated. He internally scoffed and opened the door, walking out and then closing it behind him. What to do now? Hmm..
He teleported out of the school unnoticed. He scoffed again, too easy. Honestly? It was too boring. This world was too boring. The humans and animals were mere ants to him. Humans were top of the food chain... But he was a monster. Worse than them. He could kill all of them if he wanted to.
"So why don't you?" Toshio almost jumped, surprised as someone questioned his thoughts. What? He looked around him to look for that person.. And when he found them, his eyes widened in absolute fear. There, a few meters ahead of him stood a man on his forties. He had a big smile on his face. It wasn't the fact that the man could read his mind that he felt fear. It wasn't the fact that an adult man was talking to him that he felt fear. No. It was because it was his father in front of him looking healthy like he didn't kill him years ago that he felt fear.
Why was he still alive?! He killed him.. He killed him years ago! Why was he here?! Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks and his mouth opened and close in an attempt to say something but his mind was blank. His father approached him slowly, his smile still on his face. "How's my adorable little son?" He questioned as if he was talking to a kid.
GET AWAY FROM HIM.
Toshio froze as his father dropped his smile and looked at him coldly. Instantly, he saw the purple aura surrounding him, protecting him from the man. He relaxed a little, seeing that his father can't do anything to him. That was proven wrong, however, when an unknown force slammed onto him making him skid on the ground a few meters away from his father. He gasped as the aura disappeared, wincing in pain.
"Hm? How pathetic. The monster can't even protect himself." His father smiled at him, resting his hands on his hips. "Makes me regret ever placing it in you. Useless." Toshio narrowed his eyes at him, gritting his teeth. "How are you still alive? I killed you." His father tilted his head in boredom. "Ahh so boring. Why talk when you can fight back? Use it. Use it, you little monster." Toshio gasped in pain as he was lifted off the ground and slammed back to it again. He could feel it getting angry- he could feel it trying to get out of its cage. He shut his eyes. He couldn't move! Why can his father use it too?! And why can't he use his powers?!
I'll kill him. I'LL KILL HIM.
Before Toshio passed out from the pain of being repeatedly lifted and slammed onto the ground brutally, purple flooded his vision. He saw his father grinning widely. And then he saw lightning hit him- hard. And he was out.
(Not Human)
It was dark...
Why was it so dark...?
He felt like he was floating in space...
What happened...?
Ahh... He remembered seeing his suddenly alive father...and then lightning...
Shouldn't he be dead...?
Light... He needs to follow it...
Bright...light...
Toshio opened his eyes slowly. He winced in pain. His head was on fire. He felt as if he could dunk his head on an ice bucket. He slowly sat up, suddenly aware that his body hurt so much. That was what happen if you get repeatedly lifted and slammed to the ground. He looked around, becoming confused as an unfamiliar scenery greeted him. "Why the hell am I in a forest?" he muttered to himself. He stood up and stretched his body, sighing in slight relief as he felt bones pop. Cautiously, he walked and walked at the seemingly endless path of the forest.
Hey. Where...Where are we? He started by asking it. He waited for an answer but it never came. He frowned. The time where he wanted to talk to it just happened to be the time where it wouldn't respond to him. Just great. He felt frustrated and confused. How the hell did this even happen?
Finally, after walking for like forever, he reached the edge and he peeked on it. His eyes widened when he saw the 3 familiar stone heads...in a certain anime that he watched back then. When he was bored. "This scenery... Those stone heads... I'm in Naruto." He furrowed his eyebrows. What? What the hell was going on?
Then realization kicked him. His father...and that lightning. He had to be the reason why he was stuck here. But why send him here? Growling in frustration, he stared at his hand. Was it possible to use it here? Or was he gonna be using chakra?
Raising his hand, he used Aerokinesis. An ability to manipulate air. Swaying his hand slightly, he closed his eyes as he felt a breeze follow the movement. Stopping his Aerokinesis, he looked around him. He was in the Konoha Village, someone must've sensed him. His presence was quite-
Danger.
Instantly, His eyes traveled around. His body tensed. Danger? Was somebody trying to kill him now?
Man.
Toshio furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and his eyes darted around him to sense and to see if anyone was there. It said there was a man.. but there wasn't at all. He turned around to look at the familiar headstones yet again. But that proved to be a bad idea as he felt it panic and a sharp, cold object pressing on his throat lightly. Toshio tried hard not to flinch, afraid that the kunai would slit his throat if he does.
He didn't even sense the presence of the man.
"Who are you?" A low, husky voice of a man questioned him, his breath lightly grazing Toshio's left ear and Toshio almost shivered. The voice sounded familiar... Kakashi? He let his eyes dart to the side and noted that he was bending slightly as Toshio was a bit shorter than he was. "You're not from around here, are you? Those clothes..." The kunai pressed harder onto his throat and it drew blood. Still, he didn't flinch. It, however, was getting angry.
LET ME KILL HIM.
Toshio ignored the voice inside his head and his brain tried to work to think what he could do in this situation. He still needed time to think, and maybe make a disguise. He needed to get away from Kakashi. But that meant fighting him. Ah, he has no other choice. He didn't have any prior experience with dealing with... enemies. Humans he could deal with. They were weak. But Kakashi was no ordinary human. People living in this world were not ordinary humans. They were a ninja.
Using it, he activated his kinetic ability and teleported away from the man. He couldn't teleport to a place he haven't seen before and he was panicking to even think properly. But it seemed he underestimated Kakashi as the man could keep up with him. He immediately activated his ability yet again and used Photokinesis: The ability to manipulate and generate light. He created a thick panel of light in front of him, barely defending himself against Kakashi's kunai.
For once, he was thankful for having it.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes, his arm straining to break the panel of light that was in front of him. "Enemy nin... You.. are not using chakra at all." Toshio visibly flinched at that. True. He doesn't even know if he has chakra at all. "I need to take you for questioning." This was probably the only time Toshio felt fear against another human being.. Aside from his father. He needed to get away. "I'm sorry, Konoha Shinobi." He narrowed his own orbs, activating his ability. "But I need to go."
It seemed that Lady Luck was against him as Kakashi disappeared in front of him, appearing behind his back again. Toshio's eyes widened and he looked behind him. The man was glaring at him and Toshio was sure he was in big big trouble. The taller man lifted his leg to kick his stomach and Toshio didn't have time to defend himself. The kick connected to his stomach and he had this sudden urge to throw up as he skidded a few meters away. It hurt so bad! If he knew he would be fighting THE Kakashi Hatake, he would've prepared himself beforehand.
Toshio realized the fight was not finished yet for him to be thinking about that at a time like this. He looked up with a hand on his stomach, his eyes darting everywhere to see where his opponent was. Left, Right, no.. Above, no.. Wait! Below!
"Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu!"
Thankfully, people in this world seem to yell out their jutsu so Toshio had time to react. He wasn't a monster for nothing, after all. His brain decided to work at that moment. His legs strained and stung as he used all of his strength to jump high and planted it on the tree behind him. He made a millisecond eye contact with Kakashi below him as he activated his Ability, Celerakinesis: The ability to manipulate speed. The man's eyes widened as Toshio charged forward and dashed so fast he could see a beam of light following after the teen.
Kakashi slowly stood up and he stood there stunned for a moment before his eyes caught a fallen object on the ground. He picked it up and noted that it was a shoe. The Hatake was almost tempted to laugh. Ah well, he could just make Pakkun track where the teen was later. For now, he needed to tell the Hokage what revelation this was. A teen just escaped from him. Granted, he was not even using half of his chakra but... He narrowed his eyes, gripping the shoe tighter.
The teen was not using chakra at all.
