.:Chapter 2: Execution:.
I awoke feeling drowsy stiff. I could see figures in front of me but could not make out what they were. My head was throbbing uncontrollable I couldn't think and for some reason move. I heard voices; lots of loud voices I wanted to shout out to them and tell them shut up and let me sleep. I tried to go back to sleep, but failed as my hearing became clearer. I felt something hit me and suddenly I was wide awake. I shot my eyes open just as a stone hit my stomach. I gritted my teeth in pain as I looked at the land around me. I was in the town square with the whole village surrounding me. I wondered for a minute why I was there till my sleepy brain finally caught up with what was happening. My hands were tied to a chain that was hanging for a tall pole making me hang helplessly five feet off the ground. I had a cloth tied around my mouth preventing me from talking, and a leather strap around my eyes but I could still see. I listened to the people around me as they called me a freak, monster, and a witch. I started the wiggle trying the get away only to make the crowd see that I was now awake.
"She's awake!" yelled one.
"Kill her!" shouted another.
"BURN THE WITCH, BURN THE WITCH!" the crowd started to chant. I stopped wiggling as their words took hold of me. Their going to kill me, no their going to burn me alive! I turned my head to the sound of the crowd's cheers to see a man walking to me with burning torch.
"NO!" I yelled though my gag. "NO PLEASE NO! DON'T KILL ME! PLEASE!" I screamed as the man came up beside me.
'I don't want to die!' I screamed in my mind as the man put the flaming torch to the pole making it go up in flames. Then I felt a voice in the back of my head simply say, "Then don't die" as the fire started to eat at my body. I felt a strange power build up in my body. "Let it go," said the voice and I did. I felt the power explode from every inch of my body the power felt so great that I was sure I had wiped out the whole country. Finally as the power started to disappear, I felt no fire eating at my legs, and heard no more voices I fell into unconscious.
2 days later…
"Hehehe, so the spy was telling the truth; this village is where the explosion started. Shall we going check it out, Itachi?" said Kisame
"Hn."
"Good, I'm curious to know what created such as explosion." He said with a evil grin. They walked though the village till they arrived at the town square.
"Now what do we have here?" said Kisame as he turned a body over, "They're all dead."
"It seems that they were executing that girl," whispered Itachi as he walked over to a girl hanging from the pole. "She seems to be the source of the explosion. Look at the ground around her."
"Is she alive?" Kisame asked with a grin, "This would be a horrible waste of time if she was dead."
Itachi looked at her chest to see a slight movement up and down, "Barely. Kisame cut these chains."
"Sure," he said as he sliced the chains in half with his sword.
Itachi reach out and caught the young girl's arm before she hit the ground, then turned around, "Let's move Kisame before other ninjas arrive". And with that said they took off into the forest.
I awoke to the smell of cooking food and the feeling that my legs are on fire. I rubbed the ash off my face only to feel my arms scream in protest against the movement. I gritted my teeth at the pain and stood up. My legs screamed in pain causing me to stumble.
"That hurts don't it," said a voice. I looked up to see a fish faced man sit by a fire putting raw fish into his mouth. "You looked like you had been burned alive when we found. We can't believe you are still alive." He said with a wicked grin.
'Wait! Did he say we?' as soon as the thought popped into my mind I felt cold metal press against my neck. I froze…
"Now, now Itachi you don't have to do that she won't try and do something she will regret, right missy? Or I'll just have to cut your pretty little body into ribbons." the man said putting his free hand on a very large sword cover in white bandages. I felt the metal disappear from my neck and I turned around to look at the man called Itachi. He was dressed just like the fish faced man with the same black cloak with red clouds. He had an emotionless face with cold blood red eyes.
"So missy can you see with that thing on?" the fish faced man said pointing a finger at my eyes. I gave him a questionable look then put my hands on my eyes, but I didn't feel my eyes instead I felt the leather strap from before. I didn't get it. They had taken off my gag, gave me new clothes, and fixed my burns, even so hadn't they taken off the leather strap.
'Wait a second why do a have burns? Did the elders play a trick on me in my sleep?'
Suddenly I screamed falling to the ground holding my head as all the horrible memories came flooding into my head. I saw the faces of the villagers dying left and right. I saw blood lots and lots of blood. I heard screams and the voice saying let it all go over and over again in my mind.
"No…," I whisper to myself. I had killed them all. Uncle had always called me and my eyes special, but now I new the truth. I'm not special. I'm a weapon of mass destruction. I looked down at my hands.
"Witch, that's what they all called me. I'd go into to town and all I'd hear is "stand away from the silver eyed witch, don't get to too close to the witch, sorry we don't serve witches" from everyone I saw. There was only one person who talked to me and protected me and they killed him. I don't know who or what I am." I sighed feeling good to get that off my chest and not paying any attention to who was listening.
I moved my hand up to the leather strap and this time feeling a rose mark on it. 'The seal.' I looked around seeing a bag with the same seal on it. 'I don't remember putting a seal on these things.' I rolled up my sleeve reveling yet another leather strap with the seal on it around my tattoo. I reach over and grabbed the bag noticing that it was my backpack. I put two fingers over the seal on the pack make the seal disappear, then not noticing the two ninjas watching me closely I put two fingers on the strap around my eyes making it disappear causing the strap to fall to the ground.
I looked up letting the two ninjas get to see my eyes for the first time. I half expected them to run away. Instead the fish faced man grinned.
"Well now and here I thought Itachi's eyes were the scariest thing in the world, but this girl's eyes beat yours by a long shot Itachi," said the fish looking man as he turned around and started looking though a bag. "Yes, here they are," he said handing me dark shaded glass, "put these on they will hide your eyes. If you look at a normal person with those eyes of yours they will most likely have a heart attack."
"Kisame, we need to get some information," said Itachi to the fish faced man.
"Ok, ok," replied Kisame then he turned to face me, "so tell me, what's your name missy?"
"Kiki Uri," I answered simply. I wasn't about to tell some random ninja my real name if Uncle had made it so very clear that it was to be kept secret.
"Ok Kiki can you tell me who or what destroyed this village and the whole country side?"
"I did…," I replied in a tiny voice.
Kisame just shrugged and murmured, "Figured as much."
That's when Itachi stepped forward and grabbed my chin making me look into his red eyes. We stayed like that for a couple of minute before he let go and stood back.
"She is still awake…"
"Hahaha it looks like we finally found someone that with stand the famous Itachi Uchiha glare," said Kisame with an evil grin, "the Akatsuki could use a girl like her. She could be a big help."
I got up putting the seal back on my backpack before slinging it onto my shoulders. I had had enough of these people wanting to "use" me, so I started to walk off. I made it all the way into the now ruins of the village before I felt the familiar cold metal at my neck.
"Sorry but orders are orders and ours are to find the source of the explosion and bring it back to headquarters, so you can't go," said Kisame who suddenly appear in front of me.
'I need a plan,' I thought I could bluff my powers and threaten them after all I did blow up a whole village in a single move. So even though I had no idea how to use my powers I bluffed it.
"How about," I said in a monotone voice pulling off my glasses, "I just kill you." I waited for him to laugh and say yea right then take me wherever they wanted to go, but he didn't. He stood frozen his eyes locked on mine.
'It really worked,' I thought dumbfounded only to feel cold metal press harder against my neck.
'Fuck I forgot about Itachi.'
I felt him lean in close to my ear, "You're a liar", he said simply. Then he grabbed my shades and pushed them back on my face covering my eyes once more. As soon as my sun glasses were on my face Kisame recovered from his shock.
"Think you're dangerous? You are all bark and no bite. You can't even control or use your own powers," Kisame smirked as he put his sword inches from my face.
"Kisame they found us." All of a sudden we were surrounded by masked ninja.
"Stupid Leaf brats!" growled Kisame.
