So I heard there was some problem going on with the reviews lately on ... Though I wasn't worried as my stories rarely get reviews... lol *sniff* *runs off and cries in a corner*
But there are some amazing Guests who leave behind reviews! THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS, YOU INSPIRE ME!
Also I know I said that next chapter would be a new POV, but I got stuck halfway through that chapter so I wrote this small one... although it is titled as an Omake because it has a poem running through it, but this is also important for the story!
The poem used here is Caged Bird by Maya Angelou
Omake 2
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
The pack of three genin and one Jounin jumps from tree to tree; winds rushing through their hair like the scenes around them, the wide horizon waiting for them with open arms.
The scent of forest filling their breath and the birds chirruping every time they set foot on a new branch; their every step taking them away from the people left behind in a foreign village, no more unfamiliar now as they almost fly through the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The little girl with skin as dark as the earth and eyes raining like the monsoon clouds, enters and locks herself in her room in fury; emotions boiling in her chest, seeming to burn her alive.
She cries because death has long betrayed her and life seems to be going down the same path. She cries because she has lost those who saw her as human, and now she is just an intriguing showpiece.
The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
She flops on the bed and screeches silently into the pillow as the helplessness of her situation torments her; the words of a stranger breaking her soul into pieces.
She envies the ones living freely, envies the ones dead free and wonders what she did wrong to become just a mere scientific wonder.
The free bird thinks
of another breeze
and the trade winds soft
through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting
on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
The four ninja pass through rivers, fields, towns and forests; leaving behind the community where they would be remembered forever as Heroes.
But they take with them the memories and lessons learned for the next flight, as they rise higher through the canopy; again laughing, smiling and playing around as they race towards their home, soaring freely through the trees.
But a caged bird stands
on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts
on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped
and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
Her old life flashes before her eyes; the past where she wasn't just an alien or an entertainment, where it was HER world, HER life and she was an INDIVIDUAL not a caged bird existing just to sing for her owners.
The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
She cries till no tears come, shrieks till her throat aches and faints into a dreamless sleep; unaware of the free birds just a few miles away, chirruping with excitement for returning back home.
AN- I am not fully happy with this chapter... Tell me your views guys! Also I hope the last chapter's ending wasn't too rushed, I feel like it is! :((
