Chapter 1 - Who am I?

-Rin's POV-

My story begins with me sitting on a bed, looking at the wall. I know that doesn't sound like much. But let me tell you where my bed is, and what I can see from it. This bed is right in the corner of the room only just big enough for it, and the bed is only just big enough for a kid my age. What is my age...?

I finally notice the dirty bandage covering my left eye. There was split-ends travelling up the sides of my slightly damp, long hair despite the hours I was stuck in this wet state, I just can't get dry.

The beeps from the clock were insanity, timing the waste of the precious seconds from this useless claustrophobic room. The room is locked shut and you need a special jutsu or something to open it. If you could open it, I would imagine there would be a long corridor with absolutely nothing in it apart the abyss engulfing your straight-forward mind. Why am I here? Who am I?

Questions kept coming back, haunting my very existence. My eye was dull; nothingness was the only thing keeping me alive.

The window is the size of the whole wall, made of special tinted glass that means the room stays the same temperature all the time. I know what is really there is just dirt, but the light in the ceiling bounces off the glass into my eye. So when I try to look out into the dark dirt wall all I can see is my reflection. That and the hairy grey varmint flapping about in the corner. A 'moth' is what they call this kind with antennae and spotted grey wings.

I try to ignore the fluttering noise above me and carry on with my daily routine. 'Bed', 'Chair', 'Window', 'My tattoo' - loads of words to say. You see, I know what the words mean. I know how to write them. I just can't say them. No more than the moth can. Not since I appeared here.

There's a blast of cold from the crevice of the door, and I shiver, feeling all of sudden very lonely. The most alone I've felt for a long time. Like I'm not really here in the room anymore, like I'm sort of floating about in space, cast adrift in the sky above. It's weird, but I kind of enjoy feeling sad sometimes because it's the only thing I can really do in this room.

The door creaked. My eye turns into a saucer as it quickly swings open, a ray of light flashes into my desolate eye; blinding it for dear life, a silhouette hovered over my poor defenceless body. ''You're needed...'' His voice amplified in my ear, joy swept over me like a giant hurricane of relief. Someone's actually here.

Tears started to build-up in my eye, like a shard of glass; often it would happen in this room out of sadness and loneliness, but this time it's out of happiness.

His cold massive hand grabbed my hospital-like dress; It's light blue pattern was like a babies happiness. ''Where are we going?'' My voice was soft and a bit hesitant. ''You're going to find happiness,'' His voice was stern and deep but also fake. Everything about the answer was fake because in the end...

This world isn't beautiful!

The scream tore through the many windows like a shard of glass. I felt my eye widen and pulse quicken. my heart thudding like a rock rattling in a box. I screamed again, terrified. The blood drained from my face before I was even aware of making an unconscious decision. my legs were pounding furiously on the uneven surgery-like table, my ears strained from my screams. I'm in so much pain that my complexion is ashen, my natural golden skin has sunken in tone to something so lifeless, it scares me. My eye closes and I suck myself into a deeper place to cope. It barely seems enough my heart rate goes faster twenty beats per second. Every time a lightning shock would strike me, the pain is unbearable, unthinkable. tears like waterfalls. This happens every day now. why...

Why me...?

-3 Years later-

The gloomy moon floated above the great fog engulfing the dark forest. Its light was massive like a lightbulb fixed into the , that's was what I imagined. It felt like days since the experiments. The torture was a blur now, and so was my humanity. All gone down the drain...

I was stuck in chains like an animal, they didn't trust me at all for some reason, so they normally just insulted me every time they went past. No doors. No windows. Now way out. Every minute was hell. I hear the clock ticking by. it rings out, it's echoing penetrating the stillness of the air. Twelve o'clock. looking around all I see is an indefinite expansion of pure black space. You could run forever and never get anywhere never making any progress. No light. No shadows. Just the colours of empty black. Though there appears to be nothing but empty space around, to get the feeling of suffocation, like my lungs are craving in I am trapped imprison in my own mind. Hello...

I open my eye lids, A forest. Upon the forest floor lies trees of yesteryear, fallen storms long forgotten. Looks like the seasons have been harsh, stripping away the bark and outer layers, yet rendering them all beautiful. They have the appearance of driftwood, twisting in patterns that remind me of the seaside waves of the damp puddles in the underground cell; even the colour of the moss is like the kelp that sticks out of the wall from the corridor. They are soft, damp, yet my fingers come away dry. I tilt my head up, feeling my hair tumble further down my back; the pines are several houses tall, reaching toward the golden rays of spring birdsong comes in lulls and bursts, the silence and the singing working together as well as improvised melody. Before I knew it my feet have begun to walk, body and mind both an autopilot.

The river winds through the forest, welcoming stray flora that comes its way. It is part of this place, integral to life, yet also a thing onto itself. The river is always flowing, taking its willing passengers onward to the great ocean beyond. The edges tempts the rick soil to join the cold waters just as much as the humbles leaf litter that lies on top.

I start to whirl my head around when suddenly I hear a huffing noise, like a horse snorting. A cage appeared behind me. The cage had been something bigger than a hamster. So there had to be extra bars welded on in a nature fashion. The bars were wood with whirly patterns on it and the thick ones were steel. Some were almost straight, others at jaunty angles, but it looks like it works. It was larger than anything I've ever seen, so big that it dominated a corner of the forest.

A white horse with a dolphin-like head stood in front of me. It had 1,2,3,4... 5 tails?

Hello there...

It's voice was polite like a mother.

What's the problem there little one?

My eyes quickyly notice the worry in its eyes, it was so soothing, and it's tails stretched across the whole terrain. ''What are you?'' I suddenly face palm myself for being so impolite. It starts laughing.

I am the 5 tailed beast, but you can call me kokou, can you tell me your name?

I sit down, ignoring the bundle of flowers beneath me. ''They call me Rin,'' I never want this dream to end, my face turns dark.

What's wrong Rin?

It's face drops, interested, I notice it look into my eyes like its seen a ghost ''what's wrong?'' I repeat it's words. It lifts its hoof pass the bars, and points it to my left eye. Take the bandage off and you will finally see the beauty of this world...

My eye opens like a flashlight beam, the new temporal insert providing enough light to illuminate whatever I look at. I breathed as if no air would ever be enough, as if I were a drowning suddenly from the depths. I was on my knees, hands on the concrete floor, my hair sprayed across the ground. Was that just a dream? My sigh was of a softly deflating; it was as if a tension had lifted yet me with a Melanchdy instead of a relief. It felt so real...

I elevate my hand to my bandaged eye.

Take the bandage off and

You will finally see the

Beauty of this world

It's words echoe in my ear like a distant memory. That was just a pathetic dream, dreams don't come true! I snapped a thought into my head, demanding for independence.

The door opened, a tall man walked into the room. He wore a black cloak with a symbol on the shoulders, 'It's time again,'' no... not again. I start to struggle like a fish in a line. His hand scared me as he reached for my very long hair. I lifted my leg and started kicking at him, I wasn't going to be tortured again.

no

NO

NO!

My left eye suddenly goes golden, the bandage on my left eye suddenly rips off. A massive shockwave spreads throughout the building, the foundation ruined, the chains brake in half causing parts from the roof to collapse. Blood oozing from my eye. What did I just do?

The golden light starts to fade from both of my eyes. I can see out of my eye? That's surprising.

When my mind has ceased it's unproductive buzz, I am able to start thinking the way out of this mess. If I try to run out blindly they will catch me, if I stay I'm good as dead, so I have two options; up or down. Down means I face the consequences and up is actually try to escape, I pick the up one.

I peaked out into the corridor, why wasn't anyone there? It was completely empty. The dark memories haunted my mind; walking through these corridors was nostalgic, the sound of chains dragging across the floor, hearing the screams of other children, it was a too much for me. I should free all these children...

Suddenly an alarm bellowed in my ear,

Warning

Warning

An escape is in progress,

Pease get to your stations...

Why me?

I could hear heavy footsteps of large men echoing towards me. I quickly pivoted my foot around, the chains banged against the floor like two bells hitting each other.

Two bells hitting each other? Sounds fimiliar...

I power down the corridor, leaving dents on the ground. I look around to see a man fast asleep in his chair, his hands flopping in his lap, his chin tucked into his neck. A card with a symbol stuck out of his pocket, that's the card to get in and out of cells...

I silently grab the card from his pocket, he mutters and stirs in his sleep, making me nervously step back. I start running again. My breath came in small spurts, hot and nervous. At my sides, pale fingers curled into sweaty fists, swinging forward as if it would make me faster. Behind me, I could hear the baying howls of the men and jeering shouts of my enemies. Mud smeared my sweaty face as sweat dripped from my mattered. ''Please god let me live,'' I cried out loud, throwing myself forward with even greater abandon. My lungs and heart pumping, but the air didn't seem to be enough as I sprinted forward, panic trembling in my exhausted limbs.

I finally notice the brick wall infront of me, Shit I found a dead end. A shuriken spun into the wall, ''you thought you could actually get away, PET!'' The man from before stood there, his insane smile erupted into his face. ''I wonder how many times I can make you beg for mercy?'' He smashed his hands onto the ground. ''Earth style = Earth spike wall jutsu''

Spikes formed into the walls either side of me, they started to move closer and closer to me. I place my hands on the muddy wall avoiding the spikes, I thrust the walls away from each other trying to not get impaled.

''You should just give up while you still can, master would be angry with me if you died here,'' oh he's just a pawn...

I could feel chakra filling the walls; they came in faster and more stronger. My arms started to bend, I was loosing my strength, I stare straight at him, his smile suits his stone cold eyes. My life started to flash before my eyes, though I don't really don't know my past...

Rin you've actually got to hit me you know...

I started to see a presence of a small boy, he had long, silver hair and a mask covering his eye and mouth.

Don't give me that face...

He put his hands on my shoulder, His body started to fade out of existence, and said

You have to fight to survive in this world, I know it's cruel but you have to, to protect your friends, that's what Obito would want...

A thick pulse climbed up my body. Eyes round like balls. My hands crunched into a fist, Chakra started to leak into my fists. My feet compressed into a piece of crunched paper, a dent smashed beneath me. I got ready to spring.

The man stepped back nervously. I pull back and jump straight at him; the spiked wall behind me smashed together causing a shockwave throughout the base. I thrust my fist towards his face, and fling him across he corridor. No-one is going to chain me down!

My chakra started to build up again. I sprinted past him not giving him any eye contact. I could hear the reinforcements charging down the hall. I got myself ready to attack, all I was thinking was to fight and not giving up.

Shurikens were thrown at me; I raise my fists up to my head indicating I'm ready to fight. I spring up into the air towards one of the heavily cloaked men's I point my fists towards him; thrusting, powerfully, dodging all the shuriken they threw at me. The man dodged stepping back. I twist my body giving him a swift kick, he blocked, DAMMIT I need more strength.

He threw a fist at me, but I can block to, I move my hands so I'm ready for the impact of the fist, and I violently force myself to block. I try again to turn around and kick him, we locked legs as we clashed. I finally found an opening as I swivelled my foot around and kicked him straight in the chest causing him to fly across the hall. He grunted in pain as he spit out blood, flying across the hall. The man laid still, unconsciously smacking his hand on his head.

''WOOD STYLE - WOOD DRAGONS JUTSU''

A whole flock of wood-like dragons appeared before me, their teeth were like stumps of wood, the wood creatures flu towards me. I somersaulted to the ceiling. Hit my feet perfectly on the wall of rock above me, and thrusted down. The dragons were too late to react because I banged the man on the head. The dragons evaporated into nothingness, I grab the man midair and step onto his face so I could jump over the army of ninja infront of me and sprint down the hall. Their eyes followed me as I flu above them. When I finally hit the ground I put all my strength into running, I bolted down the dark abyss, all the men followed man like dogs.

When there was some distance between as I finally lifted my head, I saw a little girl being dragged into the cell, she was drenched in blood from head to toe. His attention drifted towards me, he instantly dropped the girl making her head snack onto the floor. Thankfully she didn't get a concussion. He repeated the hand signs the insane man used and smacked his hands on the ground. ''EARTH STYLE - WALL JUTSU!''

Dirt and grime started to lift from beneath the floor like a stone tablet inscribed with 'go away' or 'leave me be'.

The chakra sadistically left my feet and flowed into my fist, my sweaty fist squashed tightly as I levitated it to beside my head. Some bits of debris left my hair like a landslide. I growled as my fist left from beside me, I forcefully smashed through the wall. All I could see was the shock in his eyes as I charged straight at him.

The little girls eyes drifted up my body. Her eyes turned into spheres as I notice her short purple hair. Her eyes were beautiful green colour and her skin was a lushes tan. When I finally punched him in the face he grunted in pain. Blood dropped from his forehead. I dragged my hand away from his face and patted the girl on the head, a new smile painted itself upon her small face, rose-pink lips semi-illuminated by the dappled light.

I smile, '' it's alright now, your safe,'' she leans her head to the side and closes her hands, her smile still gleaming with joy. The barks of men started to catch up to my ear, I twist my head, I can see the silhouettes marching down the hallway. ''We have to go! NOW!'' Our hands collide with each other, I decided not to look at the girl as I already can picture her face right now because of her movements.

I dragged her down the hallway trying to avoid any ninja that might come our way but there were none, maybe when the alarm said 'station' it meant to my cell or... to the exit. My heart skipped a beat. If that's it there might be an really powerful foe, Putting this kid in danger... No I couldn't think about that.

''Lady, we're going straight to the edge,'' I see a hand point to the direction we're running in, I lift my head, staring straight at a cliffs edge. We both hault right at the foot of the cliff, a couple of pieces of rubble rolled down. ''You thought you could actually get away, I've got something for you pet! This base is in the middle of the ocean so you could either come with me quietly or Comit suicide.'' I feel hands suddenly scrunch my dress, the fear engulfing this ones eyes was phenomenal. I kneel down before her, my hands drift to her hands and stare straight at her eyes. ''Don't worry about a thing,'' I push her back and stared intensely into his eyes. ''You don't scare me, I'm the master of this facility. You cannot defy me!'' He turned around and raised his hands to his mouth, his whistle reached to the end of the hall. Footsteps shook the floor as a silhouettes emerged from down the halls.

The lights turn on illuminating to silhouettes. Big, muscular tigers rampaged. The chains tied to them were held by four cloaked men, they were like me, chained like that...

''These are no ordinary tigers as you can see, their teeth are sharp like razors and can cut through anything with one single bite,'' Drool started dripping down their faces leaving a fresh pile of saliva on the ground. ''Let's see you get past this one...'' He manically laught as the man let go of the chains.

The tigers charged down the hall ignoring the 'master' of his place. The wind forcefully blew into my face making me have to grab the girl just in case she lost her balance. The tigers started to circle around us, grunting and growling. The man lifted his hand, silence...

Suddenly his hand flew down signalling to attack. I pushed the girl back and charged straight at them. I don't quiver in fear. I don't fret. This is who I am, and you can't take this away from me!

One of the tigers swiped at me, the power was unbelieveable, wind thrashing into my face. I pull my leg up in full force, it's face scrunched as I heard the dripping of blood. The tiger lost its balance and tumbled over. The other two tigers pounced; I wasn't moving at all till the very last second, I zoomed up the tigers back and jumped above Both of their heads. I spread my legs out while I impaled them with my two bare feet. The last tiger whimpered and scurried off...

I look around to find 'master' starring at me, astonished, sweat dropped from his face as he started smiling again. ''I'll take you down myself!'' He swing his cloak off revealing the massive scar going up his chest, he created hand signs really quickly and stopped at one of them. ''WATER STYLE - WATER DRAGONS JUTSU!''

Water dragons formed behind me. The dragons charged at me, I try to kick one of them but it failed as my leg went right through it. The dragon bit me and threw me causing me to slide all the way to the end of the edge. ''Are you alright?'' She ran over to me nudging me for an answer, I nod and stood up. ''you really thought you could kick water,' my foot was drenched. He raised his hand and pointed it at me ''get her my pets,'' they flu straight at me, I created a stance as I look around.

An idea flu into my head as one of them opened their mouth very widely, it casted its shadow across the edge, puddles formed beneath its transparent chin. ''WATCH OUT!'' The little girl screamed, scrunching her face together. A single tear escaped her bright, green eyes giving up her fake smile. I squatted as I leaped, I descended and tumbled, hitting my head on the floor like a Agile flower. The dragon roared in victory as he performed his final move, the others were celebrating. Ignoring the little twitch from my hand, nevertheless it fell for it.

It started to construct a water ball in its mouth, under the circumstances I guess it's the most powerful move it's got even so I've got it get this right until then. He expanded his mouth as water leaked, every drop was a ticking time bomb for my insanity, consequently I had to keep my composure not making a move was a key thing right now. ''I guess it's goodbye, Rin'' He exaggerated the 'Rin' part in disgust, probably because he doesn't like it. In an instant chakra started to flow into its mouth, steam evaporated into the air. It suddenly bit down an released all of its chakra in one blast, everything went in slow motion as I used the steam to attempt to make a smokescreen. After that everything went silent, all I could make out was weeping of the little girl. A smile crept onto my face regardless of the situation; I darted through the thick steam, the air was moist keeping me more warm then before. Droplets formed on my pale skin sliding like sweat to the ends of my fingers.

A laugh cracked through the mist, a patch of pale skin illuminated like rays like an Red Cross on a map. I started to head for the man, the smile slowly faded as I punched 'master' right through his chest. Blood poured all over the floor. I pulled my hand back. His eyes, well for a lack of better word, were grey; I was struck by their coldness, like a stab of ice. Every detail in his iris so clear, so concise. For my lack of words, he was a piece of art that nobody could understand. He wasn't his usual self anymore, just an ash dying in a fire. Regret washed over me like the long slow waves on a shallow pool. Each wave was icy cold and sent shivers down my spine. How I now longed to go back and take a different path, but now that was impossible. There was no way back. There was no way to make it right. The remorse would eat at me everyday of my life now. I envied the pebbles, hard and lifeless, unable to feel the torments of life.

There was absolute stillness. No air stirred the grass, no clouds drifted above, no water dripped or flowed, not a sound to be heard...

When the guilt comes it takes me down the old familiar path, I want to refuse to walk it, pretend that I am the person I demand to be. K-Kakashi... I remember this feeling. A cold, small hand piercing my skin. I see a single tear roll down his face, no-one moved. K-Kakashi...

I instantly snap back to reality. I notice the resemblance of this situation. Maybe I shouldn't of done this. He raised his hand shaking. His eyes stared me down like a wolf looking at his prey. After all this is all my fault. He latched onto my hair, I holler in pain, ''You thought you won this, but if I die here I'll drag you down with me!'' The water dragons accelerated to the sky, his chakra drained , you could see the twitch of pain through his eyes. ''I won't be taken down by you, WATER STYLE - WATER PUNCH JUTSU'' A massive fist was made as the dragons merged together, it stormed downwards like a large rock, steam leaked from it, SCOLDING WATER!

I turned, the little girl was frightened down to the very bone. I grab the girl and staggered to the edge, ''You can't get away!'' He was right I can't!

Fall in...

What was that?

Trust me young one...

I gulp as I closed my eyes and take a step back. Then two steps. ''L-L-Lady?'' Says the little girl. ''Trust me, close your eyes,'' I smile. I take a last step back, and as he lunges for my legs, shrieking...

We both fall back into the air...

Darkness enveloped me. The water closed in around me, filling me with deep dread. I didn't hold my breath. Red splotches danced in front of me and I couldn't remember if my eyes were closed or not. The coldness I had felt upon entering the water was completely gone. A desperate hot wave. Death came to me with the slow rattling gasps that had tried to take my life away once before. All I could make out was the little girl floating body, drifting away from me. Before I close my eyes I paint a smile on my face. See you later little girl.
