Crescendo in Anger Part 1
Crescendo
I was walking through the woods. I had no idea where I was or where I was going. All I knew was that I needed to get to civilization, and fast. I could feel my many wounds dripping blood and I was amazed that I was still conscious. I was having a hard time concentrating on my search for civilization. I began sing to help keep myself conscious. I hope the Akatsuki don't find me. I won't be able to fight them like this.
Suddenly I heard a loud grunt and next thing I knew I was laying on the ground on top of a boy with bluish-black hair. He looked exactly like one of the people who were chasing me, only a lot younger. I felt a shiver of fear run down my spine. I had to get away from him and quickly.
Sasuke
My team and I were on our way back to the village after completing a mission helping a farmer that lived just outside the village. Out of all the missions we had had so far, this had been the most boring by far. My thoughts were suddenly broken by the sound of someone walking below me. Thinking it was a rouge ninja or something, I jumped out of the tree, ready to attack.
As I was flying towards my enemy, I realized it's not an enemy, but a severely injured girl about my age. She was bleeding from many deep cuts. I could see shuriken and kunai still sticking out of her body. In a split second, I grabbed her and turned to take the impact on myself. I watched as she turned and looked at me. I saw recognition spread over her face and she began to freak out, her dark purple eyes wide with fright. "What's wrong?" I asked her. She didn't seem to hear me.
"You look just like him! You're going to kill me too! Leave me alone. I can't fight anymore…" her voice faded away and she looked like she was going to faint at any moment. I was confused by what she had said.
"What are you…?" Suddenly a kunai flew out of the trees directly at the girl.
Crescendo
The boy grabbed the kunai that was flying at my face. He threw it back to wherever it came from. I realized the boy meant me no harm. A man that looked exactly like the boy who was standing in front of me stepped out of the trees. As I watched the boy throw some shuriken at the man, I suddenly had an idea. "I've got a plan," I told the boy, "Wait for my signal." I did a series hand signs.
"Crescendo jutsu," I said. I took a breath and hit my highest note. It wasn't as loud as it usually was when I did this jutsu because I was almost out of chakra. The man put his hands over his ears, so I nodded to the boy, but he had already moved. He suddenly appeared behind the Akatsuki member. He used a kunai to slit the man's throat.
"You aren't like him," I told him quickly because I could feel my consciousness melting away. Everything went black.
Sasuke
I caught the girl before she hit the ground. "We need to get her to the hospital and quickly. She's going to die if we don't," Kakashi said.
"Foolish little brother, did you really think you could defeat me so easily?" His voice echoed from the trees surrounding us.
"ITACHI, YOU BASTARD!!" I screamed, "SHOW YOURSELF!!"
"You will need to become much stronger before you even have a hope of defeating me." Itachi's voice started to grow faint.
"Leave her. Go after him. This is your chance, so take it!" the voice in my head told me.
"Shut up, Raiden! Leave me alone, damn it! This is hard enough without you throwing in your opinion," I snapped back at him in my head.
"You're probably giving up the best chance you'll ever get to take him out! Quit being such an idiot and go find him!"
"Well, how am I supposed to take him out? There is no way I'm strong enough yet. There will be other opportunities, I'm sure of it. I am not going to let her die. I don't want her blood on my hands," with that I picked her up and started to run as fast as I could.
