"Hurry Kasa

"Hurry Ka'sa!" cried the boy's father.

The boy ran across the field, he saw sand following him, guiding him.

He hurried to the rushed arms of his father and together they ran from the horror behind them.

"Mama, where is mother!" Ka'sa cried.

"She is meeting us at her old training ground. The Hyuuga's it is the only place that is safe now." His father said gravely.

The despair in his father's voice, the fire behind them. He felt tears coming to his pale eyes.

"Do not cry. We will be fine. You are the son of the Kazakage. You are one of the few that will survive this."

The young boy choked back the tears and they continued to run.

The boy was out of breath within four miles of running. His father saw this and carried him on the sand that he controlled.

Ten minutes went by, his father joined him on the rock, and they rushed past trees to the Hyuuga's. They got there and the boy's grandfather greeted them.

"Come." He said glancing around. His grandfather's eyes were pale white and veins brought chakra to his ageing eyes.

They went inside the now fortress-like structure.

"Where is she?" Said father and my grandfather glanced at me then took my father aside.

I could of read his lips if I had wanted. My eyes could see through that. However, I didn't. I didn't want to know.

My father pulled away and I could tell he asked 'where?'

My grandfather pointed beyond a set of rice-paper doors.

He glanced at me and shook his head, indicating I was not allowed to use my byauugan.

He walked over to the doors and opened them. I could just see the bed before he slipped in and closed the doors shut. I ignored my father's wishes. I used the byaguugan.

I could see my father hovering over a figure. My mother. She was on the bed. She was alive but her chakra was rapidly fading. I could tell that she was hurt. Tears flooded my eyes.

I couldn't live without her. I saw my father's chakra trying to compensate her lost power. And her wounds, they were healing. He pulled back in case he overflowed her system with energy. If he did, he might have killed her. As he left her now rising chest, all the chakra seemed to be sent to the small cuts, slicing them and then siphoning off into the air.

"Poison." My grandfather said seeing my confused and horrified face, "One of the seven poisons that can kill a ninja. It will not heal, believe me, I tried. Sakura-sama was here, she left just before you came."

"N-no. Mother." I rushed in and nearly screamed. Her skin was pale but there was a trail of blood and it was splattered across the walls. Father rushed his sand to my eyes making sure I couldn't see anything.

I fell to the floor. I heard someone old, yelling. I vaguely heard my father. Then I blacked out.

After that, I didn't remember much. I do remember feeling a hand on my face and some water being poured into my mouth.

I woke up. My head felt heavy, as if I had a fever. Half awake, I tried desperately to remember why I had blacked out. What had happened?

I opened my eyes. In the corner, I saw my second cousin, Neji-san on a chair. He was asleep. I tried to sit up, it hurt and my head throbbed but I sat up finally. Neji-san immediately awakened as soon as I moved.

"I'd say you must rest, but you can't." he said, sitting up.

"Why?" I muttered putting a hand to my aching head.

"Because your mother is dead." He said. I looked at him and his chakra was rushing to his eyes. He was trying not to cry. Sometimes the byaguugan shows things you do not wish to see.

I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry so much so he could stand up and put a comforting hand on my shoulder. I wanted to have people feel bad for me. But no one would. I couldn't cry. I stood up and he joined me. Someone had removed my shirt.

"How long was I out?" I asked him, I felt dizzy but I forced chakra to keep me on my feet.

"About three days. You were in shock, understandably." He stated turning his back to me.

"I see. I don't remember anything though." I said sitting down to avoid using chakra too much.

"You shouldn't. Sakura-sama took care of your mind. It was easier to make you forget than to make you accept it."

"I see." I would have felt angry that someone poked around my memories but I was too tired.

"Do not worry Ka'sa-kun, she died an honorable death. She was fighting until the Hokage found her. She collapsed as soon as he relieved her of her duties."

So, she wouldn't have died if the Hokage hadn't ordered her to fight.

"The Aburame clan has been defeated however. Despite the heavy casualties, Kohona is in a state of happiness."

"G-good." I stated. They have been defeated. But how many people have died on their side? They were a strong race; they would never have surrendered.

"Did they surrender?" I asked hesitant, I knew the answer.

He looked at me. I could tell he was thinking fast.

"No." he said and walked out but not before saying, "Do not worry for the enemy they will not worry for you." He walked away and I waited until he had left the hallway before I dressed in the black shirt that was on the edge of my bed.

There was a basin of water on a desk outside my room. I washed my face in it and then went to the door. Outside, I put on the shoes that were laying down waiting for one that might need them. It was bright and sunny, but the smell of blood was on the air, as well as smoke and burning flesh.

They are burning the dead.

I walked calmly. I felt no reason to hurry. Throughout the forest, there was a layer of dead beetles, bees, and other insects with poisonous stingers or jaws on the ground. It was the carnage of a mighty battle, one that had lasted months. I scanned the forest. Nothing was alive apart from the trees, ferns, and bushes. There were no birds or small mammals. Everything was dead. Despite the warmth of the sun, I was cold.

I started to run. My legs took me where I needed to go. The Hokage's home.

I ran. My legs never tiring. Though just days ago I could barely run a mile.

It was a four hour run to the Hokage's room. This gave me time to think. I truly could not remember anything. I activated my byaguugan. I did not wish to run into anybody. I used my 360o vision and saw someone; they were directly in front of me about 200 meters away. I tried to guess who it was from their chakra. They didn't have any. Their body was infested with bugs. It was an Aburame.

Basterd! How dare he return? We have killed his entire race and yet he returns.

I dashed even faster to gain speed. I saw his bugs swarming around him. He had detected my presence.

I didn't care. I was part of the Hyuuga clan. My father was the Kazakage of the Sand Village. I was going to avenge my mother by killing this person.

I caught regular sight of him at 50 meters. I yelled and took out four shuriken. Hurling at him I attacked him. I took out a kunai knife and at 5 meters hit him with an Air Strike head on. Bugs swarmed, blocking the powerful hit.

"SHOW YOURSELF!" I found myself yelling.

The wall of black insects parted showing the proud but wounded face of a girl a few years younger than I.
