A group of various one shots.
One Shots: (2)
Just A Genjutsu
A kick.
A punch.
Heavy breathing.
Pounding hearts.
Kunai clash.
Fist meets fist.
Weapons fly…
…and words go silent.
She comes up behind him.
He pivots on his ankle and pushes his weapon through her unprotected chest,
Just as she drops her weapon and presses her delicate lips to his.
His heart thuds in his deaf ears.
She pulls her lips off of his.
He can't breathe.
She smiles, wiping some of her blood off of his lip.
"Nari, I…I…"
He can't find the words.
"Sorry—I got blood on…your…l-lip..."
Her fragile voice breaks at the end.
Her small form drops to the damp ground beneath him.
He cannot do anything but follow with his eyes.
Thunder rolls in the distance.
Dark clouds appear in the once blue sky.
Crimson puddles appear on the ground,
Puddles of her blood.
He finally finds the strength to lift her up in his arms.
"No, this is just…just a trick of the eyes. It's just some…some sort of genjutsu that my eyes can't see through…"
He is met with only the rolling of the thunder.
He drops down to his knees.
Her still body drops to the ground.
He can't find the strength to hold her.
His arms dangle lifelessly by his side.
The same way her eyes stare lifelessly at him
He looks up at the sky.
He would rather look anywhere than at her,
Anywhere but at her broken form.
He is met with black clouds.
He is met with sadness…
Some sort of emptiness he can't place.
Small raindrops begin falling from the angered sky.
Pitter patter…
Pitter patter…
"Just…"
CRASH.
"Just a…"
CRASH.
"…a genjutsu."
