Fear
Bensha moved through the forest swiftly. The wind whispered in her ear and she changed directions every time it changed. She suddenly stopped. Bensha dropped to the ground on top of a large rock. Her silence carried through the forest. Her mind tried to sort though Setsuko's memories but to no avail. Bensha leaned forward as she wrapped an arm around her leg. She stared up at the sky.
"Tell me, must I summon the creatures of air now?" She whispered. After a few minutes the wind blew and Bensha was up and moving in that direction. She let her arms dangle behind her as she ran. After a few minutes she stopped in a clearing. A team of ANBU looked up at her in shock. Sand-nin. She cocked her head to the side as she studied them. "What can you humans offer me?" She attacked after that. Bensha almost stopped when the surge of emotions overwhelmed her system. She pushed back her shock and continued with her assault. She felt her blood boil as she kicked one man in the head, cracking his mask. Her heart speed up as she lifted him up and threw him into one of his companions. Panic rose and flooded her mind. Her moments became wild as she dodged punches, and kicks and weapons. Her mind seemed to blur as she grasped a man by his neck and squeezed with all her might in one quick motions. She had moved on to another before the body and head touched the ground. Her breathing quickened as she punched him across the face. She quickly slipped back away form him as several kunai went through him. She landed and launched herself forward without second thought. She rammed into a woman, knocking her to the ground. Bensha punched down into her stomach and caused blood to splatter on her face. Bensha turned to the last. He was performing several seal. She watched as he slammed his hand down into the ground, summoning a large bird. Bensha felt her eyes widen and a cruel smile creep onto her face. She tilted her head to the side and then tilted it to the other side. "I see. So I can only summon like that now? Like a mere human?"
Janghoon looked over at his sister. They were in her room. He had been sitting on the bed reading a scroll she had.
"Seung, what do you think is going to happen?" Seung put down the scroll she had been reading and looked over at him.
"I . . . I do not know. Uzumaki-sensai is gone and she left no instructions on what we should do if she was gone." She muttered to herself. "I . . . I do not want to go back home. I like it here." Janghoon nodded.
"Hai. It had started to feel like family." Janghoon smiled at the thought. "Setsuko-san as some kind of childish mom, Kakashi-san as a dad, Naruto-san as maybe a cousin or brother. It was nice. Even if all Setsuko-san made was ramen." He laughed silently. "Of course the one time she tried to make rice she brunt it so bad she ended up throwing out the pot." Seung started to laugh. It was true. One time she had tried to make rice for lunch. It took them awhile to get the brunt smell aired out. After a few minutes she stopped laughing.
"Janghoon . . . you saw her, didn't you?" He gave his sister a curious look. "Without the henge. Tell me about it." Janghoon was quiet. He searched for the right words but found none.
"Yeah. I saw her. She was pretty I guess. I didn't get to see her for much more than a few seconds but . . . I see why Kakashi-san likes her." Seung smiled gently at her brother.
"Kakashi-sama loved her. Now I think he's real sad." She whispered. "He always seemed kind of distant before, but now . . . now he's always gone. With Tsunade-sama, trying to find her and bring her back." Seung stared off to the side in a dreamy state. "I think it would be nice to be in love." Seung laughed. "Of course, not like Uzumaki-sensai. She and Kakashi-sama seemed to be too shy to say anything. I swear, those two were always beating around the bush. I doubt that if someone didn't push them they would have told each other." Seung smiled as she reflected the short time she had spent with Setsuko. "I miss her."
". . . I agree. This strange family we've had . . . better than our parents."
Naruto hopped off of the frog that had been carrying him around. He had been searching for Setsuko but to no avail.
"Do you need me anymore?" The frog croaked. Naruto looked back at him and slowly shook his head. "Hey, who are you looking for?" Naruto looked at the ground.
"My cousin." He whispered. "Something every bad happened to her. I don't know what it was, but some demon took over her body. Called itself Bensha." The frog's eyes widened.
"What kind of bensha?" Naruto blinked in confusion.
"Ummm . . . well, I think Setsuko was the Uindo Bensha. That's the only kind I know." The frog stared at Naruto in shock.
"Kid, you got a hell of a lot more to deal with than you thought!" Naruto looked at the frog in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" The frog sighed before he looked up at Naruto.
"Listen kid, I can't say anything. You'll have to find someone strong enough to defend themselves against the Bensha no Uindo, or atleast someone Bensha no Uindo can't do anything to! That thing . . . that thing doesn't like anything that ain't connected directly to the wind. It likes those that know its past even less. Just knowing puts my life on the line."
Bensha tossed the ANBU aside. Even after torturing him, she learned nothing. She had only gained alittle knowledge and that was she had to sign a contract of some sort. She waited for the wind to start up but it didn't. She sighed before shuffling through Setsuko's memories.
"This girl . . . defied the wind . . . I do not understand." She shook her head before looking at the sky. "How . . . how was she still given powers of the wind?" Her head snapped up as she heard the wind. Someone was coming. She turned around to see a young man with black hair and blazing red eyes. Black comas whirled around his pupils. His black cloak had flame licking the bottom. Bensha glared at him. The man smirked as Bensha felt something tug at her mind. She heard the wind whispering not to look into his eyes as her mind seemed to drift away. Bensha shook her head free from the daze before looking around. She was in a huge crowd and was being pushed back and forth. She felt her heart speed up and her breath shorten as she tried to fight her way out of the crowd. "No! Let go of me!" She yelled but it was in vain. She nearly fell down a few times after being shoved. Bensha looked around frantically.
"Weak." Her head snapped in the direction of the voice. Kakashi stood in the crowd glaring at her. She felt her heart breaking. "How could I ever even look at someone like you? You're a monster who should be sent back to the rock you crawled out from under." Bensha felt panic rise up.
"Man, I can't believe you are my cousin." Bensha's head snapped over to the boy in front of her. Naruto glared at her. "How could I look up to you? Someone as pathetic as you? Please, I've summoned tadpoles better than you." Bensha felt tears weld up in her eyes as she reached out for the boy.
"Don't you touch him you monster!!!" She looked over to see team 28. "I can't believe we were being taught by a demon like you!!!" Janghoon yelled as he moved in from of Seung to keep her from looking at Bensha.
"Freaks like you don't deserve to even breath!" Riki yelled. The crowd started to get bigger as she was pushed about. Bensha reached out towards Kakashi but he turned his back on her.
"Please! Do not leave me!" She yelled but he didn't respond. He merely walked away with Naruto next to him. She called out once again, reach out towards them but they didn't answer. "No! Do not leave me here! I do not know these emotions, please!!!" She looked at team 28. "You must got to tell me these emotions!" But they too turned their backs and left. Bensha felt her heart pounding against her chest and her breathing becoming frantic. She pulled her arms close and hugged herself, trying to make herself smaller as if she could disappear. The people increased the a loud roar of their voice flooded her ears. The roar was so loud she couldn't even hear herself think. Bensha felt herself getting lost in the crowd. "Please," She whispered as her eyes stared at the ground and she shook. "please, help me, someone. These fears are not my own." She whispered before she fell into darkness.
Itachi walked over to the unconscious figure on the ground. He easily picked up Bensha and threw her over one shoulder before disappearing into the shadows.
