Before Ya Read Note: And we get to see Kaida, finally, in action! Just so you aren't mislead later, no,she isn't using her full powers or even most of her jutsu's. And yes, most techinques she taught to herself.
The 'Land of Shadows', is a completely fictional (or, to my best knowledge fictional) place in the Naruto-world, and it's to give her a place where she can kill a bunch of people without fans of those character reviewing and saying 'YOU BITCH!'. :D Hope you like it, and por favor, (please) review.
In the town of Shinunak, Land of Shadows (Not allies with other nations):
"Ryuu! Ryuu!"
"What is it?" A light-brunette young man stood at the door as the head warrior rushed in.
"Rose—Black Rose." She gasped, "The Dark Illusionist—whatever you want to call her. We heard someone screaming…a posted guard no doubt."
Ryuu felt the blood from his face drain. Their sister village of Nakiyuna had been attacked recently by the notorious child. Her nickname was Black Rose, for her streak of leaving a black rose at every town in which she mass-murdered, killing everyone. But she had also gained another nickname of Dark Illusionist since on everyone she killed, engraved with a kunai on their flesh was the character for dark. And the fact that those that had managed to survive and run to the next village before death had said that her power was to create Illusions that drove the person to madness. Black Rose, the Dark Illusionist, all meant the same thing now though—death. No one had managed to survive her ruthless attacks, for everyone just as the rumor was, was driven to insanity by her. Rumors gathered from messengers fleeing and warning many villages before being killed in the village they were housed at. And that was the other thing. No one had even seen her—all they saw was a dark-haired girl with golden eyes that glittered viciously until they swirled into emerald and the torture began.
"Ready the rest of the warriors. For the sake of our country, we shall fight this menace." He said stiffly. She nodded fiercely, and began to run out of the brown-toned room to order the rest of the warriors. However, she abruptly froze…from a mirror Ryuu could see her face twisted in untold agony.
"Sayuri?" He asked, concerned. She fell to the ground, limp. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. "SAYURI!" Ryuu yelled. It was then he saw her. The Dark Illusionist…Black Rose. She had the figure of a fifteen-yr-old and had shadowy hair that covered half of her face, having her visible semi gold-emerald eye upon him with malice.
"You—" The rest of the sentence was strangled in his throat. His eyes grew…what was happening…? The room melted away revealing on a black abyss that he had collapsed onto.
"Ryuu…the head of Shinunak." Her voice was soft and barely above a whisper but echoed as if she had spoken into a microphone hooked up with surround sound, "Your entire town is destroyed…everyone else is dead." Suddenly she had disappeared from his view, and he felt her voice come from behind him, "How does it feel to be the last of your kind? Frightening? Prideful? Shamed?"
"Everyone's…dead? But…I heard people outside while Sayuri was talking…" He gasped, as pain erupted from every pore on his body in unbearable pain. He curled up on ground in agony.
If he had been able to see her face, he would've seen a devious smirk…the closest she'd get to a smile out of happiness. This was fun to her…seeing others pain…anguish. And yet she had no remorse.
"When you and your darling Sayuri were already under my illusion? Dear Ryuu, I've been controlling your world for nearly an hour now and you didn't notice?"
The brunette was now coughing up blood as she spoke as he felt his inside churn as if being cooked in lava…he felt like he wanted to kill himself…stop the pain…the torture.
"Aww…what's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" On cue, a cat appeared in front of the general, its whiteness unnerving against the black canvass behind it. It gave a mellow meow…then it exploded into poison-covered feathers that fell to the ground delicately. Kaida laughed…it danced like a wildfire, spreading and destroying anything it touched…. Suddenly, it stopped. Her now emerald eyes from using her bloodline trait narrowed on him as the fire receded and the world was only an endless shadow.
"What's wrong? Not in the mood for humor as your body erupts in uncontrolled pain? Would you rather have mental anguish, then?" Kaida smirked, "Would you rather touch death and feel hot hate?" Not even waiting for him to reply, she snapped her fingers, the inky blackness gone and replaced with images. So realistic were they that Ryuu felt as if was there…on the cliff that overlooked a restless, white-capped sea. He was now standing; Kaida picking him up in actual reality. Then, he heard a sickening crumbling of the rocks that he stood on as she came crashing down the rocky cliff and plummet into the ocean… There was no true air on his face, but he felt like it as images of it flashed before his eyes, weaved by Kaida who stood aside of him, invisible because she made herself so. He crashed into the water…only to realize he was no longer there but trapped in quicksand. His heart racing from the fall his mind had imagined, he struggled at the quicksand, which was also an illusion. But so well done and realistic was it that his mind had perceived it as reality. She had tricked his mind and now he tortured himself. Kaida stood by his side, watching him fight against nothing.
But, the more he fought, the deeper he became in the quicksand that only Kaida knew were lies. His legs couldn't move…now the thick plasma-goop was at his neck and approaching his mouth…. Now he couldn't breathe. He gasped….
Kaida continued to stand at his side, a goofy grin on her face.
"Stop this madness, witch!" Screamed Ryuu, as he now stood in front of snakes, in which he had a phobia of, "What did we ever do to you!"
Hidden from view, Kaida frowned.
"What the entire world has done to me—if you knew the real me… the real Black Rose…Dark Illusionist…whatever. I'd be used constantly…a pawn in the game of chess. I'm not a puppet now, though, am I?" Her words were harshly spoken as images of blood and dead corpses flashed in front of Ryuu's eyes. Then, on a lighter note…almost sounding sorry… "Besides…I have to. He killed everyone…everything… It's because of him…damn him! I want him to feel my pain! Anguish! I need to do this so I can kill him! To make vengeance mine!" Tears that she hadn't felt in a long time came to her eyes and the images that flashed before the general became more and more mad and sickening, "I WILL KILL HIM, AND HE'LL ROT IN MY PIT OF ETERNAL HELL!" Ryuu flinched as the pain returned as her yelling turned hysterical and he fell to the ground again. "HE WILL DIE AT MY MERCY JUST AS MY FAMILY DIED TO HIS! HE WILL PAY FOR EVERYONE HE KILLED FOR A SECOND OF ANGUISH AT HIS DEATH!" Her anger boiling she stepped behind the now crumpled Ryuu that withered on the floor…remembering the insane trip as pain ebbed every cell in his body.
"I'm sorry, Ryuu. But, I have to. I wish you could understand…but, knowing my blood will only make you hate me." Grabbing his shoulders with her hands, she pulled back her leg and kicked him back in the head. There was a snap as his spinal cord broke…an instant, painless death. The illusions had stopped… Taking out a kunai, Kaida traced out the dark character on the back of his dismantled neck. As she walked out, she reached inside her faded, grayish-green khaki bag that had waited for her outside his door and withdrew a blooming black rose. She dropped it on the doorstep, just out of reach of the open door as it swung wildly in the untamed wind.
Another town…another nearly 300 dead…. Barely closer to beating Itachi… Little did Kaida know, her life was about to take a drastic turn as she came out of the Land of Shadows by boat near the Hidden Village of the Sound…. For to her best knowledge, only she had survived the Uchiha massacre…she and the murderer. In fact, she had never even tried to remember the little shadow of a brother the killer had. The one that she always played with on the swings while Misaki, Nori, Itachi and other warriors trained…. But he had forgotten her too. Both of them had forgotten it the day Itachi unleashed hell, and reshaped both of their lives forever.
