I do not own Naruto.
...Punctured lung!... ...Of all the tools I have on me, there's no syringe!... ...Just keep his chest still… ...Are you sure you can do this? His breathing is becoming more rapid, we need to act now… Damnit I said hold him down!
Something was inserted into the wound I had from the kunai earlier. There were five people that held my body down as I shrieked and tried resisting what was being done. I was muffled by a hand and I tried not identifying for my eyes were shut, seeing swirls of red and yellow from the harsh squinting. My breaths were rapid fire, along with the sensory nerves near my wound. They were arching pain throughout my body. I tried squirming to get away from it, but the force of everyone else held me still.
"Reverse wind dart jutsu!" A female figure commanded.
I felt a vibration in my wound from the object placed. It looked to be just a straw. The pain and weight in my breathing lessened significantly from the inner chest but my wound still was manipulated from its natural healing checklist, bleeding as a stuck pig if I would identify appropriately. A hand touched the wound with a glowing aura in a circular motion and significantly eased the pain. Why didn't she do THAT first!?
"Alright, Takimatsu, hows your breathing?" Sakura asked in the midst of her work.
"Considering that Lee is sitting on the part of my chest that might as well also collapse from weight pressure, about 4/10."
"Sakura told me to keep you still, for it is beneficial to your health that you stay so." Lee replied.
"I'm taking out the straw now, I need some help applying pressure to close up the wound." Sakura commanded.
"Just have Lee sit on it for christ sake!" I spat out, jokingly yet frustrated.
She yanked the thing out like one would take off a band aid and I yelled out through Lee's hand again. Four hands were on the wound now, and I felt the prickly feeling of it healing, new nerves coming to life clocked in to say that they exist as the damaged ones were kicked from their spots. It felt like how peroxide feels in your ears, only you don't hear so many snaps as the nerves signify the neural connection to the brain.
Ten minutes later it looked and felt to be closed, and she still was inspecting it, looking greatly exhausted from her work. Others had released what felt as a death grip from my limbs and Lee stood up, returning my ribs' expandability to me once more.
"He's not coming back is he?" I pointed to my chest, signifying the black haired individual's damage mark to me.
"Sasuke? I don't know what gotten into him… ever since he was bitten by that weird snake guy…" Sakura seemed distant recalling the memory.
"Yeah, it was some chick named Orochimaru or somethin." Naruto pondered as well.
"I'm sure it wasn't a chick…" Sakura sighed.
"Oh yea, well She had hair down to hear and was very nasal and higher pitched!"
"SHUT IT YA TWERP!" She backhanded the boy which sent Naruto flying back.
"Can you move?" Tenten asked me.
"Yes." I shakily got up but stood half sturdy.
"Were behind yet again. Let's stick together and not run off for any other team, ahem, Lee." Tenten pointed out.
"But I heard Sakura was in trouble and I-"
"Listen here Lee-o-tard," I knew he hated being insulted by Tenten like that. "The team comes first and I won't have you drop like a sack of rocks for anyone else… But, I will make that slim exception THIS ONE TIME. No other."
"Also, speaking of a sack of rocks," Tenten implied to me. "It really doesn't hurt to dodge every once in awhile. I don't see how Gai let or made you wear that crap with us. That chest plate is too heavy for what it can't protect."
"Well sorry for putting down your sensai for his slight misdemeanor of choices to make when he doesn't know what I do by comparison of you two." I bit back.
"You're not the one to talk since you've had your ass saved four times already!"
"Well look who's keeping count eh? Last time I recalled, you can't tell the difference between a dummy and a real idiot in a tree." I argued childishly as she mildly chuckled and grinned under her anger.
"Don't think i'm not mad, this argument isn't over!" But ironically, I held back a response and the argument was never continued.
"You look a lot healthier than before Takamitsu." Naruto went to shake my hand. "You know, aside from the previous gaping hole in your chest…"
He had a welp similar to Lee's previous encounter with Sakura. Man she can punch!
"Why thanks I'll try to make it a fashion trend the next time I become chiseled marble." I eyed an unconscious Sasuke and a greatly timed sharp pain made me grab my side.
"Don't worry, that's normal. Sometimes the body reacts to it like cancer since there's so many new cells that haven't been checked by the body. Just don't do anything erratic for some time, it should be back to normal within a few weeks." Sakura instinctively replied.
"Let's go, time is of the essence!" Tenten commanded as she clapped to emphasize words.
"Thank you, I am neck deep in your debt."
"Nah, I'd say more so chest deep myself" Sakura stuck a tongue out playfully.
I couldn't run full speed for my chest wasn't taking the expansion of deep breaths too kindly. Thankfully we did have frequent breaks, though I couldn't tell if Tenten was sarcastic with her sighs of frustration. I saw in Lee's eyes severe worry… Not quite sure if it was for me or Sakura.
"I wonder how's Neji doing?" Lee broke the ice on our journey.
"Beats me, I'm so suprised that he got himself into an A ranked mission." Tenten replied.
"Who does he look like?" I asked.
"Well, he looks kind of like Hinata… except, you know… height and the lady parts stuff."
"Right…" I blushed.
"You see that up ahead Lee?" Tenten announced. "Some group of the hidden Sand are already through the doors and finished!"
"Aww no way!" Lee was shocked.
"Do you think other groups have finished like this one?" I asked.
"No, this has to be a fluke. How did they finish so quickly?" Tenten scoffed.
"They're looking this way," I informed. "What are we to do?"
"I wouldn't get involved if they already finished." Lee replied.
One of them lifted a hand that looked like a bear claw and something from the ground was forming, I could feel it from my toes. Something under? I don't like it whatever it is. The groundstarted breaking out and something was oozing out from beneath, picking up speed in spite of disobeying gravity.
"Scatter!" I was the first to react and we all fled the scene.
A mighty force soon had been cleared out where our group once was. Trees were easily uprooted and it looked as though someone took a snow plow through that spot with ease. It looked to go for about a mile.
"Stop it Gaara, we already have what we need!" A female figure over there shouted.
"We again have followers." Gaara put. "And I still sense one watching over us."
"Whatever, let's go. I don't want to wait any longer on getting out of here. It's rather pathetic." Another male figure replied.
They left and I sat near the plowed rubble in patience that my team returns. They hadn't and again, I was alone and in no order to fight. Hell, I don't even remember what scroll we had. Maybe that Gaara kid hit something on the trail that's leading back? It does provide a good and visible path for others to follow up. A nice place to set up some traps. I wasn't a fool to waste time since my team won't show up.
Over the next half an hour, I placed down some fake traps, ones that don't work but look as though they'd snatch a leg. I put some real ones on the just outskirts of the rubble and trip-weed for setting off some exploding tags in sequence. That was to be for disorientation in case they trust that the "real" traps are fake and they encounter a real one by chance.
Several hours passed and it was now nightfall. I looked one last time and called it quits since the other two haven't shown. I hope they're okay.
I awoke absolutely hungry, mere short from starvation as my stomach rolled in agony within me. I had no energy to hunt in thinking the other two would show up, it was a bad call to assume they'd be back. 6 hours passed and I remained relaxed in the tall shrubbery, my healing factor working overtime while in my resting state. The pains of my chest were less consistent which hopefully means I'm less restricted from the wound physically.
Three dark eyed individuals were talking up a ruckus but were at the back where the rubble began. The smirks I could identify on their faces told me in well advance that they were ready to clock out of this hellhole. They eventually stopped walking to identify my "poorly placed" traps. One even said that they weren't set up correctly, it looked as though one with inexperience kept putting the trigger on backwards. The bait was set for them and it was a matter of mere moments before they would hit the tripwire. No avail. I took matters in my own hand and triggered it with a poorly thrown kunai, one that barely etched the wire. Sizzles from their behind went off and you could see the priceless wide eyed expressions they had.
"Forward! These traps ahead are only a decoy, were about to get ambushed!" at least one of the two statements are correct.
I padded my ears to deaden the sounds of explosions as they raced past. Ba-boom, bo-bo-boom, B-Boom, THRWACK, B-B-B-Boom, BOOM, BA-BOOM. The mud kept my hearing as the trap also succeeded to one of the unfortunates. I looked in closer and the bear-styled trap had gone through the poor soul's knee cap! I hadn't expected the pressure of sharpened wood could do so much! It's likely he'll never walk the same again! I heard the sobs of the individual and the other two mortified at what happened. The able ones were scanning the whole area for signs of an individual, they failed.
"What type… of sadistic… freak would… make something like… THIS!" The trapped individual cried out between fast paced breaths.
"Stay here, I'm going to get help!" one of the able ones darted the other way, unsure of how to get past the rest of the traps.
Anything goes in this tournament. I thought to myself. And this isn't the first time I've incapacitated someone either.
Two individuals, one caught and one unknown… Do I attack and risk my being or stealth advantage? Or are they up here the same reason we are? To find some lousy individual to take the scrolls from like candy from a baby. Bless that poor soul who's caught though, I didn't like how the trap malfunctioned and overshot. It shouldn't mean disqualification correct?
"Whoever and wherever you are, I'll find you, and make you pay for this!" The friend of the trapped one yelled out, in the midst of crying.
He seems scared, but could it be a bluff? I chose instead to not pursue him, rather, I need a decoy of some sort. A vocal decoy, since making a replica of one of those individuals would be too far fetched for my depleted chakra reserves. Ram-Snake-Tiger.
"Clone technique." I whispered and a nice copy of me formed. "Go make some more noise."
"Like what type?" I asked.
"Don't be a smartass just go!"
He climbed a nearby tree and made some form of animalistic shriek. Its high pitch pierced the ears of the other two around.
"YOU!" THe able one called out. "Your dead meat!"
He took the bait! My other me took to the trees and I now closed in on the trapped individual. I minded my step because I didn't remember which ones were set to kill. I was ten steps from him, five, his head turned around and I was just a little late to mute all the sound that came from him. I covered his airways so he'd pass out, I didn't need another fight on my hands. I felt my clone deactivate and chills ran down my spine, he was coming back! I gave one hard kick to the trap and the muffled cry peaked then died down. He went unconscious, i had darn well hoped. I dug in his pockets, no luck for much, but he did have a backpack.
Too late to take it off manually, I cut the straps mid way through and jetted with the bag, my malnourished body screaming in pain from the sprinting exertion. I managed to lose whomever he was in the woods in recognizing his pout of defeat. I continued dashing until I ran into a familiar figure, one sturdy but also soft. Tenten.
"Damnit where have you been?" she whispered,dusting off from being knocked over. "I thought that was you screaming out there."
"You didn't recognize your exploding tags?" I replied.
"I did but anyone from the leaf village could have those." She scoffed. "What were you doing the whole day yesterday? Why did you wander off again? What's in the bag?"
"Beats me, I just got it." I replied. "Could you help me open it?"
"What are you allergic to zippers?"
"I dunno, what if it's booby-trapped Ms. weapons adroit?"
"Good thinking." She took the bag from my hand and threw it on the ground. I assumed her tone was sarcastic. "Well, we haven't been blown to pieces."
She opened it on the ground. "Weapons, energy bars, toilet paper... oooh."
"What?"
"Exploding tags considering someone stole mine!"
"Only fourteen." I joked.
"Woah!" she pulled out something from the bag we both were caught off guard of finding.
She had not one, not two, but three scrolls! Two heaven and one earth scroll!
"Oh my gosh, I'd kiss you on the mouth right now if you didn't have that mask stained with blood everywhere!" She was in whimsical bliss in holding our tickets out of here.
"Eww." I made a silly reply and held out a fist for a fist bump.
She suited up the scrolls and returned a fist bump. Lee arrived just in time from the trees and saw the scrolls whilst achieving a wide grin. We were done here, as long as no one stops us between here and the tower.
"I say you redeemed yourself and some Takimatsu." Tenten said warmly.
"It's not like you to be open like this…" I skepticized internally.
Being safe, from behind, I put a kunai to her back and wrapped my arm around her neck.
"Alright, who are you, and what have you done with her?" I growled.
"Takimatsu!" Lee exclaimed!
"Tell me now, or your swiss cheese you imposter!"
"No she's not I saw this from in the trees!"
"Too late, because I figured it out already! There isn't a way in hell you're real!" I poked the kunai harder into her back. "I'll give you one more shot, tell me who you really are!"
"Grr… All this time I've been yelling at you and you take it the wrong way like it's a diminishing thing and now you're threatening to kill me because I said two nice things to you? Really Takimatsu?"
"Wrong answer…" I thrusted the kunai and tucked my arm forwards, potentially severing the spinal cord with its own vertebrae edges The kunai I used was dull; I relied heavily on pressure to execute my maneuver of crushing the kidney. I twisted the arm as far left as physics would allow; the body started spazzing out.
I heard a deeper choke and then the body went limp. God that was horrific, but they had similar intentions of taking advantage of me. I have justification that they were willing to do the same to me if I were the prosecuted. Lee pursued and kicked for my head. I was able to block it with the corpse but disarmed myself. The energy of ANY of Lee's normal kicks would have transferred cleanly through and would have hurled me through a nearby tree. Both of them were imposters… Which meant that my team was in trouble! Damnit!
"You… You M-Monster T-Takimatsu!" Lee cried out.
"It's Takamitsu." I darkly mumbled to him. "Why they never pronounced my name wrong once…"
His eyes widened in horror and he ran off in one direction, more toward the traps. I couldn't keep up for the anger for my friends was outweighed by his fear. I had lost him. I reached in the bag and found an assortment of pills, many grey, yellow, and red (I assume blue for grey, but being colorblind I can't tell). None of them had labels. Laxatives? Powerups? Maybe Chakra pills? I'll find out later. I took an energy bar from the bag and scarfed it down instantaneously. The energy was slow to return but creeped up none of the less. I doubled back and picked up the scrolls from the corpse to triple forward.
Another distant scream. I surveyed that it was still in the direction of all the traps. I approached the trapped figure and observed the item catching his left leg, just on the calf. That's how it's supposed to get them.
"Tell me where they are!" I yelled.
"What does it matter? You're only gonna kill us anyways!" Fake Lee cried out.
"If you tell me, I will come back and free you from this!" I exclaimed over his cries.
"And say I don't!"
With those words in my mind bouncing around, I looked for a real trap in the midst of all these fake ones. I threw a rock on the sensor and it snapped up itself. I heaved to cock it down to be set again. I then gently picked it up and walked over to the trapped person.
"Would you like another?" I joked.
"Oh yeah, like that would work!"
"Alright then…" I set up and threw it in the air to land on him. This maneuver hurt my upper abdomen but it sailed to its target with ease. It snapped shut when it tapped the guy's head but just made a loud sound, not injuring him any. I couldn't tell if his screaming was from fear or from pain; my betting instincts say both.
"Are you willing to co-operate?" I asked.
"Like I said, what's the point?"
I threw the trap out of the way of his grasp and started kicking the currently in use trap, making it move around in his wound. Sadistic again, but I had no other leads to finding them.
"Alright- AGH- Alright I'll talk…. Just please-STOP!" He said.
"I'm listening." I backed away.
"Head east, there's a hut we made under a giant oak. If you hit a large patch of Ivy, you've gone too far."
"I'm coming back for you." I said.
"But, wait! You said!"
"Don't worry, if you're wrong, you'll wish you said the truth." I proceeded to ziptie his arms behind him as well as gag his mouth so his extra screaming wouldn't draw much attention.
"Here's a heaven scroll, I'm being slightly generous. I might even have the rest of your friends come and get you, saying there's a nice gift for later." I headed off hearing what was a muffled version of 'You Bastard.'
...Big Oak… Big Oak… I obviously can't miss it, but i see nothing but pine. Fifteen minutes later, I found a multitude of hollowed out Oaks. It also was quite foggy; I pulled out a bottle of water and took small sips. My outfit looked disgusting: fresh blood splattered everywhere, a nice gaping hole where my jacket was, the inner shirt ripped to shreds, my shoes and one palm crimson, my hair and mask muddy and dried brown…
I can't tell how many days we've been out here… It feels like months. My sips went to gulps as I realized how thirsty I was. Still no sign of them. I was afraid to yell, like I was being monitored and if I reached a certain volume, they would sound an alarm and have a multitude of executors present.
I hear breathing… Soft, slow, almost bearlike… Was it… No, of all the things I actually find the… the… is it in rhythm? 1..a2.&...Yes Yes, YES!... Holy cow there's progress, I can hear their breathing…
I listened with my left ear and rotated 360º. He lied about the Ivy, because I just crossed over it, but there they were, asleep and hogtied by some sort of nylon rope, t'was rather durable to my dull equipment. Lee had stirred awake first. His face looked pitiful, full of bruises and scuffs.
"They took our Heaven scroll." Lee mumbled.
"Shh." I replied.
"He went back for his team, I'm not sure if he'll be back soon." Lee's voice was whispery and raspy
"You have any sharp tools? Mine are dull and aren't cutting through." I asked
"You got a weapon mistress over there who can help us if you can wake her up."
Tenten laid there seemingly tranquil, though I saw bruises and marks of rust on her clothing from what shaped to be hammer marks, like a tool hammer. I grabbed her shoulders in preparation of jolting her awake but the vision of killing her imposter flashed in my mind. I freaked out severely and immediately let her go, clenching my fists and shuddering at the thoughts.
"What's wrong Takamitsu?" Lee croaked.
"I killed her." I blankly put.
"No you haven't she's still here."
"No Lee."
"She's right there, breathing."
"You don't understand what I've done…"
"Takamitsu!" Lee frustratedly spoke.
"I killed one of their friends." My hands shook. "Another is stuck in a bear trap that I set… And another one I think bled out in the trap!"
"Takamitsu…" Lee softened. "It's the way life goes, they would have taken you if you didn't defend yourself."
I tried again and sent a pulse between my palms. Tenten gasped and her eyes bugged open.
"Wakey wakey, vegetables and sadness." I spoke.
"If I wasn't tied down I'd slap you." she grumbled. "Asshole."
That's the Tenten I know good and well. "Can you hold that slap for a second and observe the two things I got for us?"
"What two things are possibly… You didn't." Tenten in disbelief.
I held up the two scrolls and her face perked up.
"Now do you have anything currently on you that I can cut you guys out with?"
"What happened to the tools you borrowed from me earlier?" Tenten seemed a little irritated again.
"Uhh… well, to make traps, you need a blade to-"
"And no I have nothing on me, they took ALL of my equipment."
"Would you know where it would be?" I asked.
"Might be in the trees."
"I'm coming back shortly." I left and started climbing.
Looking around, the fog was less soup and my view could span to the walls of trees outside the Oak patch. Many of the trees were dead, but nothing hung except branches. On the ground, I could identify a green lap bag; it had multiple pockets and looked stuffed.
"Gotta be the one…" I went down and before I picked it up, I saw that there were multiple copies of the same bag. Decoys? Boobie traps? Possibly a proximity alarm?
"Hey Einstein, it's the one with a crap ton of stuff in it." Tenten called out.
"Yes, but which one?" I replied.
"What do you mean which one!?" she nagged.
"I mean there are multiple bags that look more alike than siamese twins!"
"So they're conjoined?"
"That's not what I'm getting at!"
"Do you even know what these words mean?"
"Sure, I'll Google it later!" I replied.
She sighed frustrated and I picked one at random, the farthest one left in the bushes. I heard a hiss and slung that thing out of reflex. It blew up in mid air and shrapnel of tools were blown everywhere. I dove behind a tree with succession… booby traps.
"Everything alright there?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah, just a little suicide bomber in every bite." I unshielded my face to find the bag was a crisp in bits and pieces.
The next bag I picked up thankfully was the real one that didn't kill itself. I broke both of them free and we had a small reunion once more. We headed back to the trap zone in my courtesy of freeing the one guy but he was nowhere to be found.
"He must've escaped and the other too." I said as we walked past.
"Alright, home stretch." Tenten was gleeful.
We approached and went into the tower to meet in a blank room. A wall in front of us read
"if these qualities of heaven are your desire,
acquire wisdom to take your mind higher,
its earthly qualities of what you lack,
train your body and prepare to attack,
when heaven and earth are open together,
the perilous paths will become righteous forever…"
"So it's to do with the heaven and earth scrolls…" Lee was the first to respond.
"We open them?" I spoke aloud.
"They did say we weren't supposed to…" Tenten replied.
"I'd say Takamitsu is right on this." Lee said. "For when both are opened together, the perilous paths are righteous forever."
"Here, you two open them, I wanna see the sorcery magic happen." I threw the scrolls to both of them and sat down.
They both seemed hesitant but pursued as we consented to the curiosity of the writings. They both nodded and snatched them open simultaneously, resulting in a large cloud of smoke forming. They put the scrolls down and backed away quickly. A figure appeared from the smoke, no older than us by about three years.
"Congratulations on being the fourth team to pass the second round of the chunin exams." the figure lazily said, seemingly sleep deprived.
He looked up, saw my condition, and went wide-eyed.
"Sir, are you o-"
"Yes I'm fine," I stretched my left shoulder. "Could you point me to the bathroom to wash up before what's up next?"
"Yes, this way. I'll bring you three to a dorm to share. You each get two meals free and there's still a day or two before the deadline ceases. It's best that you sit, relax, and catch up on whatever the hades happened out there." He stared me down and I held my confident composure. Yup, he saw the blood.
I went right for the restroom, closed the door, and stripped down. My face was barely recognizable with the mud and blood. I ran the shower cold and had everything melt right off. I wringed out my mask and put some coconut flavoured conditioner in it and it smelled gorgeous. My t-shirt and jacket was shredded and my pants had one tear in the left lower thigh. I wrung those out too and ran the last of the coconut conditioner through it. Maybe there's complimentary t-shirts?
Identifying officially as clean, I went out only shirtless and jacketless. I was stared down with confusion for a bit then Lee went in next.
"So that's what you've been hiding under that jacket." She laughed. "I expected something like arm scars or something."
"What the gaping hole in my chest previous wasn't a pepe show enough for you?" I joked. "Oh God, he's showing Lung! Children, you're not supposed to see that till your married!"
"Sakura did a nice touch-up, I hardly see the scar." She giggled to the joke previous. "But all that blood though, how are you not pale in the face and weak after that incident?"
"The energy bar in the bag." I replied.
"Iron and B-12… that'll save you."
"What is supposed to come after this challenge?"
"I don't know the name of it but you fight one other person-"
"And the judges determine if your skills are worthy to be upranked… Now I remember."
"Something happen to you before?"
"Last exams I was in, I met the minimum age, got through everything, beat the last guy, but the judges had a grudge for my clan so they wouldn't let me be a chunin. Takamitsu four out of ten performance. Deemed too immature and irrational with chakra usage. Send back to academy for re-evaluation, effective immediately. Then my parents said 'F*** it son, we're getting you out of here.'… Haven't heard from them since."
"Why a four?"
"Well, to put it like this, 5 means even match, and a lower number means luck got you the win. Those bastards played all the scams. If it was any lower, my family would have rioted. If it were higher, they'd have to pass me. Politics in a nutshell if you may."
Lee exited with nothing but towels on and left his suit to dry on the drying towel rack. His abdomen and chest was still marked up from the time they were captured.
"Do you know where the complimentary clothing is at?" Lee asked.
"I haven't left yet." I replied. "I might as well come with, since I need something too."
Tenten got up to be the last one to go to freshen up. "Hey Takamitsu, be sure to take your mask off without a shirt. It's just offsetting having a mask but no shirt."
"I'll take my chances mom." I grinned.
She scoffed and slammed the door. Me and Lee went down to floor 3 of the tower and found some complimentary clothing and changed separately upstairs. Well, I just put on a shirt. Lee on the other hand, looked like a completely different person without his jumpsuit. He looked almost… normal if it weren't for the bowl cut. He should go to Sakura now and ask, maybe she'll be a little less weirded out…
A literal hour later, Tenten came out, and in spite of what dirt covered her face earlier, was cleared and has now showed major bruises all over her face. Towels covered anything and everything, and I never looked either. Once she stole the last pair of complementary clothing we set out for her, she came out with straight hair that fell to her calves.
"How do you put up with hair like that?" I said in shock.
"Well, you literally put it up, in a bun, with no screws to give because you're only focused on keeping it retained. Also, thanks for saving both our butts out there."
"Nah, you guys pulled me through the first half of the relay. It's I that should be thanking you guys."
"You're the reason we got this far. If you hadn't shown up, we'd be waiting another year." Lee put in.
"Can you guys make me a promise?" I asked in sincerity.
"What kind of promise?" Tenten replied.
"Win." I stated. "Get out there, and make it. Do it for you, and do it for me."
"Well that seems rather-"
"Don't let one die for nothing Lee,... Tenten." I looked out the window, tonight was storming.
I seen myself act without a second thought on killing the imposter of Tenten… I wonder how his or her family is going to take it. I wonder how I would take it to accidentally kill her. Fake Lee was pretty convincing to make me think I was delirious. I never saw their actual faces… It's funny how neglectful I was of the human life, in spite of what I wanted to accomplish back at my old home…
Oh the freaking irony…
Goodnight little angels…
Goodnight Lee...
Rest easy Tenten…
And a nice little influence to possibly turn this character to the MA audience from all the goreish imagery (at least what went on in my mind :3). I myself was contemplating how important the human life was at my church and realized, you individually get one shot to make a story. Give it your best damn shot you can take and you might be remembered for it. Don't be the mother fletcher that takes the lives of random people, that's robbery of another person's story. Screw the religious aspects of murder. Anyways, deep in thought about life, and I can't really write unless I 'get into' the character's sight and perspective. Know too that your life also is important. Don't rob yourself, don't rob others, make a good life story.
