絶望
Zetsubō
Desperation
The water is poisoned. The moment Rat gulps it down, a bitting pain stabs through her head. She leans on the side of the room's wall and struggles through the pain. The other kids scramble desperately, scratching and biting like wild animals, trying to get a place at the water trough. The men bring water, and sometimes food, like clockwork. Most of the kids revere them, but Rat sees the look in their eyes. It reminds her of a boy who lived near her old house, that used to fry ants with his glasses. Rat feels like an ant to these men. She's doesn't know how long it's been since her family sold her, but that was the last time she ate. She had thought that a little water wouldn't be that bad, but the remnants of a splitting head ache told her otherwise. How could the other kids ignore the pain, or was it just her? Maybe it's prideful, but Rat knows she'll die of starvation soon anyway, and would like to do it on her own terms. So, she waits against the wall and watches as the other kids slowly get sick. It's on one of the men's visits that the boy comes. Something slams against the door, and the men turn away from the water trough. Their eyes look like a wild animals, and they back against the wall. Everyone is shaking and there's a heavy feeling in the air. Rat knows that whatever comes through the door next could easily kill her and everybody else in the room. There's the sound of metal on metal, and then the door everyone is focused on slams open. A man walks across the room like he owns it, stepping on one of the shivering kids hand and kicking another aside. Rat doesn't even see the movement, there's a glint, and then the man to her left is dead. He slumps against her, red spilling onto her face. Rat sees a massacre. Without hesitation, the boy stabs his hand through one of the men's chest cavities. Twisting quickly, he rips his hand out of the mans chest, and slams his foot into the other man's head. Rat hears a wet crunching noise, and the men stay down. The boy shift to the group of kids huddled in the corner, and Rat feels a swelling in the air. Suddenly there is light and heat. The boy is breathing fire! It curls from his lips and though she can't see the other side of the flame, Rat knows the kids are there. The sound of screaming and burn flesh tells her exactly what happened. It could have been her, she could have rushed to that corner, she could have been burned to death just like them. With a sort of numbness, she notes that it's just her, a man, and the boy. The man is shaking, "Stay back! Stay back or I'll kill her. Rat realizes with a start that the man is talking about her. She feels the sharp tip of a syringe at her neck, but the boy just smiles. "Go on then." His grey eyes meet Rats and all she see is cold amusement. "Kill her. I don't care. In this world, only the strong survive.. Even if she were to live today, I would give it about a week before she died out there." The syringe near Rats neck scrapes skin and then stabs into her vain. Rat goes limp and a strange burning slides through her man drops her body and falls against the wall. Rats vision is hazy, but she hears a cracking noise and screaming. The boys voice floats through the room, as relaxed and amused as before. "Gato should've known he couldn't get away with stealing from Orochimaru. Where's the chakra strand?" There's another snap and more unintelligible yelling. "Fine, if you wouldn't tell me, I'll just look for it myself." A body lands on top of hers, and Rat knows it's the boy reaches for a black device on his hip, and stars to talk. "As per request, none of the targets were left alive. All test subjects have been deemed failures and were terminated as well. The retrieval team has failed to find the serum. I'll be returning soon, Orochimaru-sama." Then he is gone, leaving the buildings on fire, and the people Rat despises laying on the bloody ground. Rat is in awe. In her small world, the men are the strongest people she knows. But this boy had easily killed them. The burning in her neck spreads through her whole body, and she shakes, curled up in a pool of cooling blood. His words are echo in Rats ears. The only thing in her head is the word "...survive." Rat doesn't want to die here, covered in blood. Heat spreads throughout her body, and as her eyes close she makes a promise to herself. "I will be strong, I will survive,"
