OH YEAH! I did an all nighter! Err until 6:00 Am cause my mom made me go to sleep when she left for work. I was going to nap 5 minutes but.. Heh that didn't work. Err here's the bonus. Its about the relationship between Ezekiel and Hotaru.
White snow flickered down from the heavens. Spreading ice onto little children's faces. Some giggled when they gazed up into the air, more falling at them.
A particular little boy rose his arms and closed his gray eyes, "Wow!" He said excited, "I've never seen anything so pretty!"
A girl, 2 years younger, with blond puff hair tugged on his arm, "Look Eze! An ice rock!" She spat out since her mouth was nuzzled by his itchy brown coat.
He narrowed his eyes trying to see, "Oh.. Oh!" He grabbed her tiny hand and they both dragged through the snow. "Let's see!"
She wanted to go with him but she protested, "B-but! I have to get to class Eze." She made a small eep when he stopped and glanced at her. She knew he was a dropout ever since his mom transferred him out.
His eyes were calm. He wasn't the cruel Ezekiel yet. And that wouldn't be for years now. "Sorry.." He blushed out and headed to her class, "I kinda forgot."
She lowered her eyes, "But…maybe later on… we can.."
He smiled, "Of course my lady!" He reached out as a small snowflake danced around, when it landed on his palm it starting breaking apart.
She watched with her sparkling eyes, "Wow." She murmured as its edges started to freeze up and curl into a tiny heart. He blushed and looked up embarrassed, he placed it on her hand and curled his hand over it, "Uh.. Have fun ok?" He let go, smiled at her then headed home.
She stood by the door, clutching the tiny heart to hers, "Wow."
As Ezekiel got home he took off his heavy boots.
Almost tripping, he peeked to his moms room as he heard a yell. He hadn't talked to his mom ever since she came home from the hospital. Well, either way he wouldn't have anyway. They didn't get along too well. But! That didn't stop his curiosity.
He creaked the door open and blinked around.
She was nowhere to be seen.
He tip toed to a huge white crib, "Huh?" He looked in and a baby hand hit his nose. In fear he flinched back, "Hey!"
The baby had huge gray eyes with silvery hair.
"Wow! She's pretty!" And he reached down to cuddle her face but was pulled back from his long white hair. "Ah!" He stumbled to the floor and cringed back when his mom glared at him.
"You do not touch Hotaru Ezekiel. Bad bad boy!"
"S-sorry mother.. I just.."
She closed her hazel eyes and cradled the baby up, "No one will hurt you Hotaru. I'm here." She sung out.
How off-key, He thought and stood up. He shuffled back to the living and looked out the window, "Wonder when Mari will come out?"
8 years later- (This bonus is gonna go fast! I'M TIRED!)
Hotaru cooed at the graceful boy. She smacked her lips and reached for him.
Ezekiel looked around for his mom then when he saw she wasn't in sight he picked his sister up and pinched her cheek, "You are so cute Hotaru!" They both gave each other an Eskimo kiss.
(In case some people don't know. An Eskimo kiss is just cuddling noses… Makes sense? Lol!)
She squealed, "Key!" Was all she said for his nickname. "Key!"
"You want to see outside?" He walked over to the window and sat her on the windowsill, "Isn't it pretty? It only snows one day in Genin village!"
"Why?" She frowned and pressed her hands on the window. A whole bunch of kids were outside playing ball, she looked at one specific boy. A boy with red hair and a tiny bear in his hand. He was an outcast and she wondered why. "U-Um. Can we go outside Key?" She waited for his reply but he didn't answer. She looked up at him, "Can we?"
Ezekiel didn't know what to do. If he took her outside his mom would be angry and…
He pictured the scar on his back then angered, "Yeah…" He finally said and picked her up again, "Of course we can."
Outside-
When Ezekiel placed her on the soft snow, she breathed out. At first she looked astonished then she smiled in excitement, "Wow! Its pretty! Pretty pretty pretty!"
He patted her silver hair, "Its just snow and air." He chuckled out.
"EZE!" The girl with puffy hair ran to him, then she jumped on him, "I haven't seen you-"
"Last week?" He laughed and kissed her cheek, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah!" She saw his sister, "Cutie! I have one of my own… uh… except shes a he.." She raised an eyebrow to, "Huh?" She confused herself.
They started talking and Hotaru sneaked off, looking for the red haired boy. "Red boy?" She looked around and didn't stop, even when people gazed at her in awe.
A small group of people bent to the floor, offering her clothes and food. She found him, "Red boy!"
He was looking down at the ground sadly and she felt sad too. "Why sad?"
He looked up at her frightened and backed away.
She poked her fingers together. He was the first person she talked to besides her brother, "S-sorry?" She said for no reason. "I-I didn't mean to.."
He clutched the bears arm tight and they stood staring at each other.
A girl nearby, her age, saw her, "AN ANGEL!" Another girl gasped, "Oh no get her away from the demon boy!"
They both ran over and grabbed her hand, pulling and tugging, "Run angel! Run! He'll hurt you!"
Right now the young girls were hurting Hotaru instead of him hurting her. She screamed as more kids surrounded her and tugged. Saying run angel run. One accidentally pulled a strand from her hair and she started crying.
Hotaru tripped to the ground, snow pounding her face.
The red hair boy panicked when she looked up at him. "Oh no." He mumbled. Scared for her.
More tears ran down her face and a smudge of dirt was under her chin. She bit her lip and closed them.
Unknowingly he started walking to her. H-Hey.. Maybe.. She really is an angel…. Maybe mom sent her down for me to save me… A-and..
He was suddenly pushed aside. He had almost fell to the ground but the person who almost pushed him to the ground caught him before he fell and continued running. "Hotaru!" He pulled her hand up and let go of the red haired boy. (Who was wide eyed now since someone had touched him skin to skin.) "Are you ok? Oh my god." He hugged her.
The puff haired girl kneeled to her brother, "Are you ok? I'm sorry I left you alone bu-" She saw the look in his eyes. "Hey wha-?" She followed the trail and he was staring at Ezekiel and Hotaru. Her eyes sparkled at this, "Like angels huh?" She was about to touch her bro but sand attacked her finger.
"We have to go home ok?" Ezekiel stood her up, "You sure you can walk?"
She nodded, sniffing back tears. Her gray eyes then looked up when she saw red boy. "Y-yeah.. I felt like I was going to die."
"Huh?"
"But I saw an angel." She continued gazing at Gaara.
2 years later--
Ezekiel turned a page, curling to himself, Chakra? What the hell is that? He stopped reading when he heard his mom yelling. Father must be here. He thought and stood up. His hair had grown past his shoulders and he quickly braided. "What fun." He said dully. When he was done he looked in the kitchen. Yup. His dad was here.
"No no no!" She yelled and slammed a wall nearby. He looked like he was going to hit her but he controlled himself.
"Look. You are ill. Ill. I know you beat them-"
"Them? THEM? I have only one! ONE! That boy is yours! I hate him I hate him. He's evil and ugly and and.. A DEMON! A DEMON!"
The father glared at her, "Don't you dare call Ezekiel that. He has feelings and he is human."
"No NO! Only Hotaru is human. She's an angel. My little angel and that BOY is ruining her life."
"NO I'M NOT! YOU LIAR!" Ezekiel gripped the doorway, "I'm protecting her from you! That's why I won't go with dad. YOU'RE AN EVIL WITCH! A FUCKING LUNATIC!"
She stood up and back slapped him, "You do not talk to your mother like that." She threatened to slap him again but the dad yanked her hand away.
"Stop it. You really need help."
"LET GO!" She punched him in the stomach and kicked him to the floor.
(She was pretty strong..so yeah!)
She glared at Ezekiel, "You don't deserve to live. You should DIE!" And she pounced on him, hitting him in the face over and over.
Ezekiel blocked some of her punches by moving his head but she slammed his neck to the floor and started choking him.
The dad pushed her off and she flew to the wall. "Ezekiel. Come." He pulled him up, "We'll come back for Hotaru later."
He struggled to catch his breath and bundled of hair covered his cheek, "N-no." He breathed out, "Its…Its not fair… I try to make you happy.. I try to make you proud a-and…. You.. Act as if I'm not even alive."
His mom was still laying on the floor and was starting to get up. A low growl of frustration escaped.
"You hear that mom?" A troubled look came on his face, "I'll do anything.. Anything.. Just.." Pay attention to me.. Love me.. Cherish me..
His mom fell back to the floor and they didn't see her take a knife out from under the table, "Go… back.." She threw the knife bulls eye at him, "TO HELL!"
The dad pushed him out the way and knife hit him straight on the forehead. He looked out in surprise and fell instantly to the floor.
Ezekiel trembled and reached out to touch his dead father but the mom was suddenly over him. She slammed Ezekiel into the living room.
"Die." She breathed in his ear and pushed him to the ground again.
Ezekiel gasped when she grabbed his neck and tightened to crush his bones, "S-stop." And he coughed out blood.
Hotaru came out of nowhere and tackled her mom to the floor. She kicked away and crawled to Ezekiel, "K-Key!"
He closed his eyes in pain then sat up, "Watch it!" He pushed her off as the mom smacked him.
She picked him up by the neck and backed him on a wall, "A curse. A curse you are." She used her other hand and grabbed Hotaru by the neck before she could do anything too. "Both of want to make me proud?" she rasped out. "Then die by Ten no Juin. (Cursed Seal of Heaven.)" She threw Hotaru to the floor and took out a knife.
(Where is she getting the knives?)
"A demon." And she shoved the knife into one of his eyes.
Hotaru screamed, "No! Ezekiel!"
There was too much pain for Ezekiel to feel and he threatened to black out until another sickening pop was made in his other eye. His last image was of Hotaru reaching out for him then a dark light took place.
Ezekiel Shugoryuu: Died at Age 15.
