Chapter 8: Friends.
I was outside in the courtyard. Sitting on the swing under the sakura tree. I felt cut off from the world.
I ushered away two maids that had tempted to brush my hair or get me to change clothes or something. I didn't even try to hold back the tears that came to my eyes. I wasn't human. I was a monstrosity. I didn't belong with other humans. I never will.
'Why did things have to be this way?
Why did I have to be this way?
Why am I going to die?
Wasn't I supposed to be the ultimate being?
More tears fell from my eyes. My eyes were swollen and red from all of my crying. I made a rude gesture at the maids that have tried again to brush my hair or some other thing. I used to be so full of myself. I always used to look down on humans. Even Orochimaru. Everyone was inferior in my eyes.
But….after living with them. I had changed. I had changed and never knew that I had. Life had a new meaning to me. Life. Humans. Everything was now different in my eyes.
I stared through the Sakuras old and graceful sweeping branches. The soft pink blossoms eased my chaotic mind. Life and death. It was always there. Forever, life and death would be here. It was a balance. The old dies for the new. It was the way of the world. Life required change. Death allows that change. I'm dying so the new can come.
Did my life ever hold any meaning at all? Am I just some useless pivot on the grand spectrum of the universe? Just to be uses and tossed like a tissue for its own goal? Life. What a joke. Death. How menial.
"Just frigg off!' I yelled at the maids. They were so annoying. Couldn't they tell that I wanted to be left alone? What do I have to do to get that point across? I thought that they were here to serve me not annoy. I huffed as I did a huge leap into the air. I landed on the roof and jumped to the other side of the mansion. I crawled back into the house through a cracked window . I was going to my favorite hideaway. The library.
I glanced down rows of book shelves as I made my way to the center of the vast library. With my super speed I ran up the spiral staircase and slipped through the trap door that lead to the observatory. No one would to think to look for me there. My plan would have worked perfectly if there hand been one little thing. Somebody was already here.
"Heh. Long time no see."
"Oh no…it's you." I cringed in horror as that oh too familiar face loomed over me. A sadistic smile on his face.
"Well I just can't believe my luck.." He snickered.
"Well I can't believe my rotten luck." I tried to crawl backwards. But his hand shot out and grabbed my shoulder.
"I thought that it was insane luck?" I couldn't hold it in any longer. I burst out laughing. Standing there in front of me, holding my shoulder was Suigetsu. Possibly the only person that I have deemed worthy of being my friend.
"Waz up my little squishy.?" I knew how much he hated that name."
"Nothing. How 'bout you lady trips-a-lot."
I laughed. "You never were good with dissing Sui-kun."
"What do you call squishy then, oh high and mighty Alpha 1." He smiled his sharp tooth grin at me. I couldn't help but grin back.
We spent hours catching up with each others life. He told me everything that had happened after my disappearance. This was nothing interesting besides that fact that Orochimaru's scientists failed to create another artificial human being. He told me why he was here, which really shocked me. He was sent here to recover from the recent experiments on him. Then he was to go back to that tank. So he was enjoying his time here to the fullest. Me being here made his day.
So in return I told him about my time with Akatsuki. I skipped over certain parts involving a certain religious nut case and a certain mad bomber.
"Dang. Getten' friendly with the Akatsuki? Who knows? Maybe they'll come and rescue you."
I gave a weak 'yeah' in reply. His face hardened.
"What's wrong?" he could always tell when something was bothering me.
I don't know why but I started to cry. Suigetsu's face turned to shock.
"Hey! Don't start crying on me! You know how I don't know what to do in situations like this! I don't know how to be all mushy and comforting and all that crap."
"I-I-I-I'm s-sorry. I-its just that….e-ever since my stay w-with the Akatsuki. I-I-I changed so much. How could I have been so ignorant? How could I just think that I'm the superior being this whole time. I felt human Sui-kun. I felt like a real human. But…n-no matter how much I try I can't feel the same way again!" I was crying my eyes out now. It hurt. It hurt so much. I never wanted to be human so much until now. I never felt alive. But when I was with them. I was alive. I was alive.
Suigetsu's face turned sympathetic. "I know how you fell, well almost, but really close!" he put his arms around my sobbing, hyperventilating self. "Dangit Al. 1. Why are you forcing me to be so mushy?"
"I'm s-s-sorry. I-I'm s-s-so s-sorry. I j-just c-c-can't st-st-op! I-It h-hurts. IT HURTS!" I collapsed into his arms. I cried in his shoulder for hours. I cried myself horse. I cried until I fell asleep with exhaustion.
Why is life, no, why is the whole universe against me? Why am I such an abnormality that life would give me the chance to feel happy. To feel alive. To dangle it in front of my face. Only to snatch it away. Leaving me to feel. Cold. Scared. Alone. To leave me to cry out
"What am I? What am I? No, what have I done to be treated as such?"
Is the world so against me that it would reveal its glory, its secrets only to deny them in the harshest of manner. Such a thing. Is beyond my grasp. Such a thing. Is too beyond me. What have I ever done incur this?
I excised. I excised for a propose. I was living my purpose. What did I do wrong? I was made for a reason. I was made for humans propose. I lived for that purpose. So what did I do wrong? Am I the one that's wrong? Or are those who made me wrong.
Humans are flawed. They are weak. They depend on each other. They fight each other. They have lust. They have greed. The thirst for power. Stopping at nothing to get their way. They do not see the big picture. Therefore. Their propose is always lost. So is that what I am? A mistake? A blotch on the tainted fabric know as humanity? Is that why I'm suffering? Am I suffering for a mistake that I never made? Am I suffering for a mistake that my creators had foolishly made?
It was too cruel. To be tormented for something I never did. I am a sacrifice.. My life in place of their punishment. It can't be like that. It can. It should never be like that.
It is like that. It always was like that. It's the mistakes job to suffer. Not the creators.
It had to change. It had to change now.
I now have a new purpose. A purpose that was just. A purpose that was right. A purpose that should have been fulfilled already. I am going to destroy all of human kind. They don't deserve to live. They who do wrong and pushes their punishment on their mistakes. I will be a mistake no more. They will suffer for their mistakes. All of human kind will suffer. That is guarantied. And when all of the tainted beings are gone from the world. I will be alive. I will be free from this torment. I will be free from this pain.
Free, to live.
"mmmmnnn." I mumbled sleepily. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was back in my room. My clothes were changed to a night gown. It took me a few moments to fully wake up. I felt my newfound goal send shivers down my spine.
Today is the day. The day that I start to fulfill my purpose.
I got dressed and left my room. First thing first. I was to find Suigetsu. I grabbed the first maid that crossed my path and shoved her against the wall.
"Tell me where Suigetsu's room is." I said blankly. The maid's terror filled eyes stared into my hard cold ones.
"I-In th-the w-w-water r-room." The words stumbled out. I didn't feel a thing as I put my hands around her neck. My hands squeezed mercilessly around her neck. Strangled coughs and sputters left her throat as I continued to squeeze. In seconds she was dead. I left her drop to the floor. Her eyes quickly loosing their shine. Her face turning pale.
It didn't take me long to reach Suigetsu's room.
"Suigetsu!" I yelled pounding violently on his door.
"Wha do ya want this early in the morning?" I heard his muffled voice through the door.
"I want you to join me on an extermination."
"Extermination? Extermination of what?"
"Humanity."
I stepped back as his door flung open. His night shirt was twisted. He smiled. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Get dressed." I eyed his crooked night shirt and baggy pants
"Yes Ma'am!" He pranced back into his room, door still open, and pulled off his shirt and pants.
"Hey! Not in front of me!" I yelled at him. Boy was he stupid.
"Oh sorry." He smiled mischievously. "I'm excited. I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for…ages." He grabbed a shirt from his dresser.
"Whatever."
Suigetsu and I walked down a road in the middle of a thick forest. Blood still dripping from the sword Suigetsu had nicked from one of the guards. It was large and rather unruly sword but he liked it anyways. Everyone at the mansion, where we were kept, is dead. I made sure of it.
"So were we going now?" He took a gulp of water from a small steel canteen.
"To the nearest of Orochimaru's bases."
"And what are we going to do there?" A sadistic smile crept on his lips. He knew what I was going to say. But he wanted to hear the words.
"We kill all humans."
"Heh can I be the one to kill that dastard Kuberly?"
"Of course Suiy." I smiled playfully. "I can't take away your rightful kill. He's the one that did all of those experiments on you after all. You have every right to kill him."
Suigetsu's smile widened. He patted the large sword on his back. "I'm all most giddy with excitement."
I didn't say a thing as Suigetsu got him self pumped with peep talks. I was focused on my goal. If my memory served me right then the base is at the edge of this forest.
"Come on Suigetsu." I speed up to a run. "We got some work to do."
"Heh I can hardly wait." He said as he caught up.
I looked up through the tree branches. The sky was hidden from view. The animal DNA in me told me that a storm is approaching. I focused on the path ahead. The forests edge was almost in view. I'll be ready for anything. I will be victorious. I am the ultimate being after all. There is nothing that I can't do.
Chapter 8! The plot has thickened! Next time the Akatsuki learn about Takumi. How will they react? Will they chase after Takumi? Or will other things happen.
Please review! I'm begging you!
Next time! Chapter 9: Alpha 1
