Angel's smile
Anko glared at the villagers as they whispered around her, sending her hate filled looks. She held back the tears that threatened to fall as she made her way past them and their accusing looks.
"Fucking bastards! Why can't they get past the fact I'm not that damned traitor!?"
She screamed into the clearing, her fists clenched at her sides and her head tilted to look up at the sky. She clenched her eyes shut when tears fell from her eyes freely, making their way down her cheeks and onto the ground.
"Why?"
She whispered, her voice anguished and hurt. She looked at the darkening sky as if it would answer all her questions, ease her pain. But it didn't. It never did.
Anko fell to her knees, staring straight ahead of her and ignoring the rain that feel, soaking her completely and mixing with her tears. She closed her eyes briefly, a sob escaping her lips as memories of her and Orochimaru started to bubble to the surface. Him training her, him smiling at her when she first summoned a snake, when she succeeded in mastering a jutsu.
"Why did he do this to me?"
She sobbed out, her mind swirling with confusion and anguish. Wasn't she good enough? She did everything he wanted her to! She trained hard, she studied hard, all for him! It was always for him! She had done everything asked of her, did her best at whatever he asked her to. So why did he leave her behind.
Why did he betray her?
Her sobs turned to anguished screams, and she was soon shouting at the sky not caring about anything other than the pain she felt, the betrayal. Each scream tore at her throat until she could no longer speck, and even than she sobbed out pitifully.
The next thing she knew she was being embraced, two arms encircled around her waist as she was pulled into a warm surface. She latched on desperately to the warmth, not caring that she looked weak and pathetic, only caring about the warmth and safety those arms brought.
"Sh, its alright, its alright."
A soft voice soon invaded her senses, and she found herself being sheltered from the unforgiving rain and cradled into the woman's arms. She clung harder as her tears and sobs turned to hiccups and sniffs and as she was pulled closer to the soothing warmth.
"Its alright, little one, I'm here. I'm here."
The voice—that she know recognized as Kurenai's—Konoha's 'Ice Queen'--whispered soothingly in her ear as she rocked the broken girl in her arms. Anko whimpered, burring her face in the other teen's neck as Kurenai sang to her softly and lovingly. Soon, Anko felt her eyes droop and her pain subside as her red-eyed angel continued to comfort her.
The last thing she sees before she succumbs to sleep is her angel's smile.
