Atsuka Kigai

Yes! It was Graduation day! I'll finally be free of this place! Most of these idiots barely passed..But me..I passed with perfect scores. I was the smartest here besides Kata sensei and they all knew it. I was a prodigy to all the academy students and some of young genin. Everybody was waiting for Kata sensei to come in and take us to the ceremony out in the yard.

"Atsuka? Hey Atsuka! Can I talk to you in the hallway?" Kata sensei yelled and walked out the door. I sighed, we were going to be late to our own graduation. Why would Kata sensei need me in the hall for? I stood up and walked past the rows of snickering students. They were saying things like "Ha ha! Look who's in trouble now!" or "Heh I bet she wants her to go out there so he can congratulate her on her 100% on the exam." Somebody hit me in the head with a paper airplane right as i was walking out. Ignoring it I walked out into the hallway.

I shut the door and leaned against the wall. About 5minutes later I saw Kata sensei with the Hokage walking down the hall towards me. When they got closer Hokage said with a sad look "Atsuka. I'm here to inform parents were killed during their mission.." I stepped backwards. "No..No they can't be! Your lying!" A tear ran down my face as I looked at them waiting for the just kidding. It never came so I pushed past them and ran down the streets running into people and knocking things over. People shouted but I blocked everything out. They couldn't be dead they just couldn't!

As soon as I saw the house I fell on my knees. I couldn't hold back any longer I burst into tears. I couldn't help myself as I took out my kunai. It was something I did when I was upset. I cut my arm deeply and felt the pain take control of me the blood dripped until there was a puddle. I heard somebody approaching me and saying my name, but I couldn't answer. The last thing i felt was strong arms grabbing me. I couldn't do anything the darkness was already consuming me.

Mitsuki POV:

I was walking to our house to tell Mother and Father that I was back from my mission, when I found Atsuka outside the house. Her kunai was drawn and blood dripped down her left arm. I hurridly ran to her and called out her name. She looked up weakly not seeing me before passing out. There was so much blood I thought as I reached her.

I grabbed her and put her on my back as I ran to the hospital. We ran past the graduation ceremony and everyone watched me carry her bleeding to the hospital. Kata sensei had everybody go inside before running to help me carry her. "Thanks Kata" I said as I sat on the seat in Atsukas room. "No problem Mitsuki..It's all my fault she ran out like that. Have you heard yet?" Mitsuki shook her head and Kata's eyes widened. "Your parents were killed on there mission Mitsuki." Kata hugged her tightly as Mitsuki sat in shock.

I woke up in a daze. Where was I? The room was white and the air around me was heavy with chakra. It was then that the pain hit me. So deep and intense that I writhed in agony. It was my arm. I looked down and saw it bandaged.

The shock of what I had done hit me worse then the pain. I can't believe it, I had cut again.I hadn't cut for a long time. Not since I had learned about my powers. Not since they had almost overwhelmed me two years ago.

All of a sudden I heard a noise and looked up. A woman had entered the room. A healer I realized. She was holding a needle of some sort. I was about to ask her what she was doing but she was already beside me poking the needle into my uninjured arm. I slowly faded into the welcoming arms of the darkness again.
