I can't feel it…I can't feel the pain that's supposed to be running through my body. I tightened my hold on the bars, desperate to feel even a small throb of pain…but nothing. I loosened my hold and stared at my hand, bringing them closer I saw deep burn marks that went through skin and muscle allowing random parts of bone to show. Blood dripped from my hand down to the floor. A second later, I felt a small tingle run through my body. I stared in angry fascination as my wound heal…then not even a moment later my wounds faded completely revealing my pale hands, only leaving the stain of my own blood. I glared in disgust before walking to the sink and washing the crimson stain off my hands.
I looked at the floor and saw the broken pieces of glass that once made up the mirror atop of the sink. I looked around at the place I call hell, windowless walls, broken glasses on the floor, a metal bed on the side, metal chains draped over it, a scratched study table with a notebook and a pen…and finally at the bars behind me.
I remember the day I chose this room…I thought it was perfect for me…a perfect room for a monster to live in. It's only fitting for someone like me to live by. A prison…but now I realize…it's not enough. This room can't contain me…those bars cant stop me...nothing can.
I went to the table and picked up the band that bore the mark of my village. I turned to look at the remaining piece of mirror on the wall; I glared as I saw the dark crimson color of my left eye. I felt rage boiling inside me...but then I felt a presence beyond the bars.
"What do you want...Gai?" I asked turning slowly. Beyond the bars, I saw him, the green beast of Konoha smiling like a fool at me, one of the only few who survived that day.
"Tsunade…she's calling for you." Gai replied seriously but with a grin. Not feeling the need to respond, I nodded and walked towards the bars. Gai turned to the electrical switches behind him but I ignored it and opened the bars. I felt a small tingle run through my body again, and I knew that whatever damage the bars inflicted was healing already, if not, already healed. I saw Gai's grin fade before a scowl took its place.
"Kakashi-" Gai began but I was not in the mood to hear what he'll say, I already know it.
"Tell Ibiki to increase the electricity in the bars."
"But-"
"900,000 watts of electricity isn't enough Gai. If we want to keep Konoha safe we need to keep demons at bay." I said cutting him off once again. I saw him open his mouth but a loud 'crack' echoed around us in the empty hall. I saw Gai look behind me and frown.
"I'll meet you at the tower." I said as I left in a blur leaving Gai frowning at the last piece of mirror crumbling to the ground, a kunai replacing its place on the wall. I reached up and touched my left eye but instead felt the cold metal of my village band. I grabbed the band and pulled it down. Everyone is curious to see my face…the face of Kakashi Hatake, the hero of Konoha, the legendary copy nin, the master of a thousand jutsu…but I wont destroy their dreams…I wont show them the real me…I'll never show them the face of a demon…
