"Bi-Big brother…?" I looked back at the blurred image of my little brother. I tried to smile through the pain of the spike that pierced into my chest. I guarded him with my body from the ninja that came to kill us. I took a sharp breath and pushed mysel off the point of the spike. I gasped in pain as it slowly slid from inside my body, blood dripped profoundly from the point as I fully removed myself from it. I turned and weakly gathered my little brother in my arms; I could barely hold him as I ran for the coverage of the trees near our hideout. I collapsed against a tree once I thought we were well hidden and sat my brother on the ground. I still couldn't make out his face as I looked down at him and gently wiped away the tears that were forming.
"You-You're bleeding big brother! Come on we need to get home and stop it!" I smiled sadly down at his precious face.
"I'm not returning home this time little one. I need you to run and never look back okay? Promise your big brother you'll do that for me." He nodded, I imagined he was trying to hold back the tears that he wanted to shed. He was old enough to know what I meant, and for that I was thankful. My little brother turned and ran off into the trees as the sounds of approaching ninja got closer. I steadied myself against a tree and removed a kunai from my pocket, I was prepared to fight to the death for the safety of my little brother.
I sat up on the rough cot breathing hard. This dream has plagued me since I awoke from my coma several years ago. Ever since I have awoken I have been a prisoner of Konoha. The same ninja that nearly killed me. I can't even remember what my brother once looked like by this time, and when I dream I try so hard to remember what his face looked like, in hopes that just maybe one day I will see him again. If i'm not mistaking he would be about 15 now, as it has roughly been 10 years since my capture. I hope he's found someone to take care of him. I hope he's even still alive.
"Kakashi, the demon boy is awake." Asuma. The same face I've seen practically everyday. I sometimes wish I could just tear into his neck and kill him, but that day will have to wait a little longer. My stark white tail wrapped around me as I stood from the cot, my body was drenched in a cold sweat from my continuous nightmare. Kakashi walked to my cell and looked over me before opening my cell and walking in. He seemed alert, knowing that I'd strike at anytime if I so chose. He cleared his throat and looked me directly in the face, I sneered as I glanced at him.
"You're being freed. You are of no use to us anymore, especially having no memory of who or what you are. I will be escorting back to what we have gathered to be your home village, Kirigakure. You will be bound and you will join my team on our mission. Do you understand?" I nodded. Before Kakashi bound my hands behind my back and put a mask over my mouth, I wiggled out of sweaty and disgusting shirt. Kakashi lead me out of my cell and out into the village, people looked at me frightened and curiously as we made our way to the village gates where I assumed his team was meeting us.
"Woah, who is that?!" An annoying yellow haired kid yelled in my face and I glared at him. He backed away quickly. I felt someone's hands on my tail so I lifted them into the air and threw them down.
"He's mean!" I laughed behind my mask.
"He's also an S-Class criminal that we will be escorting along with our mission. Although he may be bound, he's still very dangerous being that he is not normal as the rest of us are." I scoffed at the way he addressed me. I've never killed or hurt anyone who wasn't trying to go after me first.
"How about you quit lying to us Kakashi? He's not a criminal. Konoha had attempted to kill his family and took him as a prisoner of war. Itachi told me of him, you were both on the mission together as Anbu." Kakashi sighed as his lie fell through.
"I'm not proud of what we had done, but now we're releasing him. We're just hopeful that Kirigakure can forgive us as he was most valued to them. Let's forget all about this conversation and begin our mission."
