Chapter Seven:
Man in the Mirror
I woke up on my bedroom floor. The record was still spinning, but it made a repetitive scratching sound. It was unusually dark in my room. But all the colors seemed very bright. It was odd.
I got up and walked to my door. I opened it and walked down the hall way and pass the empty room that use to be my parents. But when I walked by, there was a strange sound coming from the room. So I turned around to examine what was in there. As I turned the corner and walked in the room, there was blood everywhere. On the walls, the windows, the floor. It was just everywhere. And there was a man sitting in the corner with his legs to his chest. He was rocking back and fourth and he was whimpering. I looked closely at the man. He had silver hair.
The man lifted his head and looked up at me. It was Kakashi. But a more younger Kakashi. What was he doing sitting there covered in blood in my house? What the hell was going on?
I walked up to him and said, "Kakashi? What happened?"
"They did it."
"Did what?"
"They did it."
"What are you talking about?"
Kakashi looked away and stared at the wall in front of him.
"They're all dead."
"Who's dead?"
"I killed them."
"Kakashi…? What's going on?"
"They killed him."
"Who killed who?"
"They killed HIM."
"Who are they Kakashi? Who did this?"
"I killed them."
"What?"
"They killed him. So I killed them."
I grabbed Kakashi's arm and tried to yank him up.
"Come on. Lets get you out of here."
"LET GO!"
"Kakashi? Why are you …"
"You shouldn't be alive! You're dead!"
"Why are you acting like this?"
"Get the hell away from me! Your dead! Your dead!"
"Kakashi! Its Sasuke! Im not dead!"
"They killed you! Get away!" Kakashi screamed as he backed closer in the corner with each spoken word.
"Kakashi you need help! Now lets go!" I motioned closer to him. That made it worse. He picked up a broken mirror shard and threw it at me. It got stuck in my shoulder.
"Kakashi! What the hell!" I grabbed the shard out of my shoulder. And I caught my reflection. But it wasn't me. The guy I was looking at wasn't Sasuke Uchia. The man in the mirror was Jiraiya…and he had blood all over his face…
