Koemi Mana- I- ran as quickly as possible trying to arrive at my destination. My hair whipped my face. I scowled for trying to put my hair in a fancy way. My face twisted in a way I did not think was possible. I growled and pushed harder to get home. Why had I been called? Why was there a sour feeling in my gut? And why did I smell smoke?!
I quickly stopped when I saw my families reserve up in flames. On a huge bird there was a man. He had his back turned to me. An explosion when off. I screamed though I doubt he herd me through the fall of wood and other debris. I felt a wave push against me. Four unsightly figures walked out of the fire. I took them to be the four that had achieved out families ultimate goal. The Ultimate body. I flinched when I knew two of them were my brother and father. Neither one carried my mother or sister.
With out one single word I looked past them and at the man. He had on a dark cloak and had blond hair. That was all I could see. The fire roared, beckoning me to enter and try to find my missing family members. Then my fellow can members had turned. I rushed in, and they didn't really care. I growled. The bird man turned around. I tumbled and rolled behind a barrel I saw out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and saw a door. Smoke puffed out.
With that smoke there was a faint smell, I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I looked around the barrel and saw that bird man had turned around. I breathed in and out. Smoke covered me from my confused family members. I rolled out of my crouch and into a running position. I focused some chakra into my feet and I pushed off into a flurry of fire and smoke.
Though I was half blinded b the smoke and fire, I could still find my way around. I easily found my way to the stairs of my house. I herd an explosion erupt just behind me. I whorled around and saw the blond staring at me. I whipped back around, and panic became my friend as it pumped adrenalin into my blood. My feet carried me to the front door of my house. I rushed in not caring to close the door.
I ran into my living room and saw my mother scorched and in an odd twisted body position. I gaped until I herd another explosion. I leaped over her and almost tripped as I stumbled my way around into my house. I couldn't see and smoke burned my eyes making it difficult to concentrate. A fire burned at Ai's door. I put a barrier around me and I tackled the door. The door knob had melted off.
The crib was in perfect condition. I herd a baby cry. Something was fishy.
Genjutsu. I focused and released the Genjutsu. I frowned when it worked. Then I almost broke down. On the floor there was a small figure of a child. I screamed as I took note of the features of the childes face. I screamed when I noticed that the body was twisted in a inhuman way.
My stomach flipped and I felt something pull at my insides, like I was about to expand. Boom. I screamed and coved my head as I felt my house shake. I screamed up until a beam fell from the roof onto the floor. The only problem was that it hit me on the way down.
Black blotches threatened my vision. I blinked and fell back into a wall. A thunder of foot steps roared up the steps of the stair case. Then they stomped down the hallway. Was it the blond man? Was he going to kill me? Did he kill my family? Did he make the explosions?
A Mana Clan member picked me up. He put my on his back. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I know this is most likely a very bad time but," The man said. Who was it? Uncle Boah? Koki? Father? Cousin Shinj? The man continued. "there was, when you were born, an evil spirit sealed with in you." The man leaped over something.
"And?" I grimly asked. The man sighed. I am overly difficult. I really need to lighten up.
"You were late on your arrival. And the demon couldn't protect everyone." the man dropped my legs and I fell to the ground.
"Didn't you say it was an evil spirit?" I asked, bewildered. He nodded. He opened his mouth though quickly shut it.
"The Mana Clan struck a deal the demon." I spun around. My fathers figure stood there. He continued, "our protection for the first child of every generation." I looked down. My father was the first in his generation. He never had a demon sealed in him. He went into a coma shortly after I was born.
"I'm that first generation? You were that first generation?! You… you." I stumbled back. "AHH!" I screamed. The blond turned as looked at me. The other two men returned and got in a ready stance. I fell onto my knees. Why was I born first? Why wasn't Koki born first? I let out another ear shattering scream.
Boom! Another bomb went off. I didn't care. Maybe if I died, then the evil spirit would kill my family off. I continued screaming, my eyes filled with the tears I never knew I had. Fire made its way over to me. The four men moved; I didn't. The fire licked at my right arm. I just held my head and sobbed in my own despair.
I could feel my arm begin to burn and a smell rose to my nose. The same smell from earlier. The smell of burning skin. I leaped up. My arm was on fire. With my good hand I formed a barrier just on the outside of my skin, then expanded the barrier to lift to fire from my arm.
That technique is not as easy as it sounds. I stood there looking at the blond man. The smaller one of the four men, most likely my brother, jumped at the blond from behind. The blond was almost hit.
What was I supposed to do. I took my right arm and slammed it into the wall next to me. The force made a few bricks fall. I began to walk forward. I herd tumbling come from behind me. The wall had fallen.
I herd a bomb explode beside me, not enough to hurt me but enough to shake me up. I closed my eyes and inhaled. Was that a faint smell of clay? I neared the bird man. I saw a kunai rush at me. I stepped backwards, there was another one behind me. They wrapped several times around me. The thin wire lightly sliced at my skin.
I use my expansion technique, and the wire snapped off of me. I turned and saw a man- thing. I felt dizzy and soon I fell backwards. I also passed out, in the middle of a fire with most likely more then two bad men, and with a dead mother and sister. Lucky me.
