'Tsunade-sama, Yuki is here requesting your help!' called Shizune to the sleeping Hokage. She grunted and waved Shizune away. She hated waking up in the morning, especially before she was meant to wake up.
But when she saw Yuki, all complaints she had for the girl was gone. Her headband covered her eyes but she was pale and her breathing was laboured. She could tell that Yuki was in great pain.
Tsunade brought Yuki to a small surgery she insisted on making in the Hokage Tower. She could hear Yuki making small whimpering noises. She knew that parts that cannot be trained like teeth and eyes, hurt more than other parts of the body where you can train and become resistant to pain. Shizune had told her that Yuki had managed to whisper to her to ask for some pain relief. But she wanted to analyse it and perhaps prevent any more pain for her patient.
Yuki was laid down on one of the beds and put to sleep. A mask was placed over her nose and mouth to aid her breathing. Then, she untied Yuki's forehead protector and placed it on the side.
Already, by putting Yuki to sleep, her colour was returning and her breathing became more natural. Her eyes were closed and she looked peaceful and calm. Tsunade gently brought her eyelids up to check her eyes.
She was shocked that her sharingans were on. She already heard from Yuki that if she had her sharingans on, it would eat her chakra at an alarming rate and could not maintain and longer than 5 minutes. But that wasn't what shocked her the most.
On her sharingans, she could see a larger part of it was black, like a disease spreading over her eyes. Yuki must have not looked at her sharingans in the mirror for a while. The blackness seemed to be slowly taking over her eyes.
But shortly after having her sharingans exposed, Yuki's heart rate soared and she began to move uncontrollably. She quickly became paler again, paler than before and her breathing was hard and straining her body.
'Shizune!' Tsunade yelled out. Shizune came and quickly saw what happened. She helped Tsunade in holding her down as Tsunade used one hand to produce the healing green chakra. Tsunade held her hands over her eyes and forehead, hoping to calm down her mind.
Her spasms began to slow and at last she stopped moving. Tsunade closed her eyes and returned the hitate to her face, over her eyes as Yuki first had it on.
They left her to rest. 'What's wrong with her?' asked Shizune. She had been worried about the girl ever since she found her collapsed in front of the Hokage Tower. Tsunade crossed her arms across her chest and closed her eyes. Shizune knew that meant no good.
'The chakra in her eyes implanted by Orochimaru is becoming a disease to her sharingans. They have already infected a quarter of her eyes. Soon, her sharingans will be consumed by the disease.' Shizune felt shocked by the news. 'Is there anything we can do to stop it?'
Tsunade shook her head. She looked out the window as she said, 'Not unless there was a way to get rid of the chakra or have it neutralised. All we can do is to provide pain relief.'
Yuki woke up and found herself in a place that she didn't know. But as she took in her first breath, she knew exactly where she was. A hospital. The smell of cleaning chemicals hit her and she shuddered. She hated hospitals ever since she was young. Her father often dragged her to hospitals to see doctors in order to see if the chance of bringing out her sharingan was possible. Not to cure her blindness.
She placed her hands on her face. The headband. Itachi-niisan had helped her get through the pain. Yuki got out of the bed and fixed up the bed, before slowly wobbling to the sliding door and leaving. As she closed the door, she walked into Shizune.
'Thank you for trying to help me,' she whispered. Shizune sighed and placed a small plastic bag in her hand. 'These are pain relief pills. Take only one a day.' She nodded before hobbling on her way.
Out on the street, she placed her hand on the fence and slowly made her way. The pain wouldn't let her go any faster.
She had really hoped that she wouldn't be seen in such a weak state. Her life wasn't fair, in comparison to Sasuke. They were twins, yet he was better off. He lived happily with mother and father and had both their love. He was never beaten and he had a good life. Until Itachinii-san had a twist in life.
Then Sasuke became an orphan. At the same time, she lost two important people in her life, her squadmates. Yet he still had a life, where he could be free and do what he wanted. He chose the path of an avenger. And Yuki? Yuki suffered from the chakra planted in her eyes and taking others life for the safety of others.
But life isn't fair.
And it will never be.
Then, Yuki found her world spinning as she began to fall.
