New Chapter and I'm proud to say this is where it starts getting OOC and AU-ish.
{ Its Just... }
Baylon seemed to just stop her little story, and Kakashi looked back. When he did he saw Baylon on he ground and her hair was just covering her. Naruto, too, stopped and turned, enjoying the ramble Baylon was mumbling. They both went to help her up as she had dropped and Naruto took to carrying her, he also placed her book back in her pouch. Kakashi took Karin and carried her.
Sakura just glanced and went forward. Kakashi saw the look of distaste she held. He shook his head and sighed. There was no way he was going to see her happy.
~ In The Village ~
Baylon was laid in her room, eyes closed, seeing flashes of memories, none she wanted to remember. All were to pained, and many sorrowful.
Naruto was at her bedside and Hinata was with him. Sakura had decided not to help, and Tsundae was working on healing her, but her mind wasn't like her body, she had to heal that herself. Baylon hasn't waken p though so it was hard to do.
When anyone had the courage to ask Sakura what had happened, she had slammed her fist into anything that was near and smashed it. No had a heart to ask anymore as she would give up and cry like that. She would say, " Ask that white-haired bitch and she'll explain, " But no one knew what she meant, Baylon couldn't answer if you asked her. But she could as soon as she woke up.
" Na-Naruto? Do you know what's wrong with her or Sakura? " She asked. It had been tense, but no one was able to get anything really out Karin. All she said was that the two were not as close as many would assume.
" No, we can't ask Sakura and Karin both said that Baylon can answer but she's not really in state to be answering things, " He says, he feels Baylon's head and goes to grab a cool rag. He gets one and places it on her head.
" R-Really? I thought K-Karin would surely answer after everything that happened to h-her, " She said, she looked at Baylon and she then felt her head as well, and went to make some broth to hopefully help her feel better. Hinata stood up and went to the kitchen and started preparing the broth.
Baylon's eyes fluttered and she looked up and saw Naruto staring at her and then he was gone, and then back with Hinata, she could faintly hear, " She's finally awake, after 3 days, " It was Naruto's voice, and she couldn't help but smirk at the sound of it.
She pushed herself into a sitting position and looked at them, she smiled at them lightly, and Hinata say, " Baylon, I made you some broth, you have some fever so you need to rest still. "
Baylon had nodded her head, and asked, " Naruto where is my book, the one I was reading? " Naruto nodded and went to grab it, once he did he handed it to her and she cracked it open, taking a sip from the broth and nodding her thanks to them.
" Thank you, both of you. Really, I'll get better soon, and answer anything I'm need to answer, " She says, her voice coming out rough, but it was still in her natural cruel tone.
" A-al-alright, yo-your wel-welcome, " Hinata said, her hands fluttering to her sides, embarrassed.
Naruto nodded and then leaned back on his arms, " I have one question really. Its just, we can't get much out of Karin or Sakura. So what did happen when you were with Sasuke and Danzo? " He asked.
She looked at him and said, " Well, Sasuke and Danzo fought, and once Sasuke finished him, Sakura appeared asking to join him, I then was thrown at the ground by my team. Sasuke came to my aid and was trying to tell me something. I had been fighting with Souji, inside my own body he was beating me, and he took control and Sasuke said something that made Sakura mad. He had said or well, what I was told her said, ' I love you, but not like this' It was something I did want to hear, but after he went cynical. I just don't want to remember anything of that day, " Her voice was not cold, it was full of fear and pain, she didn't and hadn't hardly shown any emotion since anyone had meet her, even Kakashi couldn't get this emotion set from her. When she was younger, she didn't even show this, she had hardly in her life showed fear and pain, well the time she had Souji sealed she did, but that was different. For once, since Souji was in her, she had showed her true side. Her fear and mercy had showed through and she hoped it hadn't cause her to get hurt.
Hinata looked at her and asked, " Di-did you kn-know what Sas-Sasuke said? " She asked.
Baylon looked at her and gulped, her eyes looked at her book and drank more broth, under her hair though, her ears lite up, " Well, no. Souji and I were internally fighting, he took over my body and I didn't get to hear it. But he said something that wasn't true, and only Souji heard him, until I awoke in my body and Sakura had heard and complained, and I will admit, she was angered I had a hard time believing he had some what said, ' I love you ' I was not sure he said that, " She said, and then she thought back to the moment she lost herself, her mind was not in it. She had lost focus.
Souji looked at Baylon, inside and out, he knew he was going to make her crack, show her true self and get her hurt, " Hey Baylon, you better hear this, cause its important, " He says, a smirk forming.
" Sasuke had looked you in eyes, seeing the look that was distant, he waited for your eyes to focus, and when they did he said, ' I love you, and always will. ' I had tricked you into fearing the worst, your life ending before it actually began, " Souji said.
' Sakura's words make sense know, her face as well;
He watched as tears of sadness fell, he assumed I was joyous, but I wasn't. I was being tormented by my inner most evil, Souji.
My eyes didn't stop tearing up, or even stop spilling the tears that I wanted to so badly choke back.
Sakura watched, and waited til, he leaned down and kissed me full on the lips, making himself feel better that I was here.
When I hadn't respond, he waited for me to say something, but I didn't. My eyes were glazing over in white, and making me have the eyes he knew. He gently pushed me to the side to lie down on the ground, gently.
He went and felt my heart was slowly beating and I wasn't responding. He was worried more then he should for.
He was worried about her, he was wanting to save me, but not sure on how. " Sakura, help... she needs help...please Sakura..." He pleaded.
Souji, on the inside, was enjoying the agony I felt, my heart was slowing, just to the thump his heart had been at, since the he was sealed, he loved that Chizuru did it for him, but he was angered she had left his love, acting as if he died. She fell in love with another man, and became more then what was expected of her.
Sakura looked at him, hurt by what she just witnessed, Sasuke pleading to bring this, heal this, what was I again, ah yes, monster, in Sakura's eyes, back from my state of utter death. Sakura would flat out refuse me, I had refused to be any help with missions, crudely explained things to them, and had been to touchy-flirty with Kakashi for her liking. But that wasn't all, I had stolen, taken, Sasuke's heart from her. Why help what was going to parish any ways. She didn't realize I could feel her emotions.
" No, I won't. If she's hurt, she can fix herself, Tsundae even said so herself. " She said. matter-of-factly.
Sasuke looked at her, glared, and then stood, " I should kill you, but the woman I love is harmed and in pain, she did something that only she can do, she took in something she knew would kill her, and here you are gripping about me not liking you, you think I'm blind, I realize you have feelings, but this girl, this woman, she has had my heart since I met her, long before I met you. She was something you could never be. Now help before she dies, she's being killed from the inside out. " He said, his voice was the calm and ever eerie thing it was, but it held worry, and some emotion she had never heard before with his voice.
I moved to stand, " She is nothing like you think. " Sakura said, I stepped up to Sasuke, " I heard what you said, and I can forgive for not wanting me in this state, but please by all means, I'm a dead woman anyway. Why help what's going to die, especially a incurable disease. I'm riddled from my bones to my blood, you shouldn't love me. " I said, hoping that he would just let me die, and be at peace with it.
Sasuke turned, went to help me stand, and I leaned on him, but kept my face smiling, the smile that held care-free happiness it had in our younger years, " Just go, take them with you. " I said, my voice wasn't strained, but it held something that he could only say was fear, and he didn't want me sound like that, " Just do what your heart says, go be with her. I wouldn't want you to bother. " I looked at him, her eyes showing all I felt; anger, sadness, and longing. I couldn't hide it.
Sakura looked at me as if the world was ending, and I was the cause of it, " How can you say a thing like that, he was proclaiming his love for you, and here you are saying its fine that he should love another instead of yourself. Why is it you contradict what your told? He loves you, You love him? Is it not that simple to you? " She asked, in shock.
" No, Sakura. Love is not as simple as you assume. For me, its the worst thing to feel, its hard to explain, but I'll try. I'm supposed to be the cold and distant. Its not becoming of me, the two you are better suited for him. " I said, I hobbled away from Sasuke and went to lean on a standing post. My body shook, and my mind was still being attacked. ' She thought and she wanted to cry, she felt the love and admiration Hinata held for Naruto and it made her think more on how she may have lost her one love.
Naruto saw her face and asked, " Is something wrong? "
" N-no, nothing, " She says, plastering a fake smile.
Hinata saw that it was fake, and said, " Baylon, were here for you. You can lean on us, I understand that if you don't but don't think were not here for you. Souji may persuade you we aren't but we are. "
Baylon nodded, and looked to Naruto and Hinata, " Its just, Its hard to realize Souji tricked me and Sasuke confessed he loved me and didn't want me to leave, when I was brought to him, he had kissed me and I hadn't even noticed, I was to stuck. Souji really hurt me. Mentally and not really physical. I'll tell you what he did;
' I looked through the eyes of the monster I became, I felt weak, and my eyes were the white they had been since I was 6. I had been blind, til Souji granted my vision back. I watched as Sasuke was looking at me in fear, I felt my skin want to crawl at what Souji had said as me. I was never so cold, so in pain.
I felt my mind go reeling in the way he looks at me, the way his touch made me feel.
" Souji, is what I see, what I feel? " I asked, my voice the weak and sweet thing it always was.
He looked at me, from the chains he was in, well the chains that were connected to his body. He was watching me, carefully, " Well, yes and no, I can make you feel what I want, the pain you feel is my internal conflict to love you, and to love Chizuru. And his touch does make you weak, makes you feel alive again. Even if your dead on the inside. " He said, making his point to hit the chains against my back, I went forward.
Blood was always a fear worse then any for mine. She always looked away went she killed her targets, and assignments. My eyes held the tears I didn't want shed.
Souji looked at me and said, " How about we thrown my chains away? See if you can carry the weight and burden? Hmm? How does that sound? " He looked at my bleeding back. He wanted to hear my pained and fear filled screams.
I looked up, and saw Sasuke. My eyes widen as I read his lips, well tried to, His lips moved fast, and I couldn't keep up, " Souji, please let me hear his words. Please- AH! " I screamed, my body going forward as he hit me once again with his chains.
Blood was rushing, it was coming out of me, so fast and crimson. He wanted the taste, the look and the feel. " Sa-sa-sasu-ke... " I uttered, the name left my body as low as I could. I felt blood coming from my lips.
A sweet whisper entered me and I lurched forward, " Bay-Baylon. " I heard Sasuke's voice say. I looked up, and saw it. He had thrown me off, and stepped up to finish his fight with Sakura.
" Souji, what did he say, what did the man say!? " I had all but screamed, he looked at me and smirked, an evil smirk.
" He said, ' I love you, but not like this ' Of course, how could anyone love you though. He's taking the red and pink haired girls with him, see? " He said, and pointed.
I watched and waited. My eyes flickered and I felt my body go slack. ' " She said, most of it was true and she knew it was mainly mental, but he left scars on her.
Hinata nodded and Naruto's mouth was a gape. He had never heard such a horrible story.
He went to her back, and pulled her kimono down, forgetting the fact she was a woman, and saw her back, no blood but freshly formed scars, he touched them, and that set her off.
" GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! " She screamed. It made Hinata flinch and Naruto bolted.
" I'm sorry, so sorry Baylon! " He yelled.
Baylon sighed and looked at him, " Well, never touch them. It may seem so, but there is pain that come from them," She said.
He nodded and Hinata said, " Why are there so many? " It was said quietly.
She looked back and pulled her kimono back up rather quickly inflicting pain, " This isn't the first time he did this to me. He does this anytime he finds me weak, " She said, her eyes glaring daggers into the ground.
" Hey, Baylon? Can you maybe read more of your book, to calm yourself and maybe us. Cause I'm scared after your snapping moment. Hinata is scared. I bet your even scared, " He says.
Shes shakes her head and says, "Its just... She passed before more could be written, " Which was a lie, she just didn't want to ruin anymore history.
