Chapter 15: Truths! The long road towards Insanity!
---Island of Doom (Forest)---
Three girls were running through the forest. The one in the middle broke the silence, "Come on I sense it…it's really close."
One of the others spoke up this time, "Aki…why are we going towards this strange chakra you're reading."
Aki turned to Ayame, "In the same area I was sensing multiple chakra readings as well. I bet anything there's a huge fight there…we should go check it out."
Sakura turned to Ayame this time, "Come on sister, this sounds like a lot of fun to me."
Ayame smirked and nodded.
"We're coming up on the clearing", the three girls jumped into the clearing. They landed and gasped.
---Demon Yami, Horrified Inochi, Ookami(not reading Icha Icha Paradise)---
Ookami and Inochi were both walking to there transformed friend, slowly.
Ookami was the first to break the silence, "Yo Yami! You alright there bro…"
The demon quickly turned to the two of them, silver eyes blazing, and with a whip of his right arm he sent his Demonic-Whip at his two teammates. The whip quickly cut through the two ninjas before they were able to jump out of the way. Yami had a satisfied smirk on his face but quickly turned into a snarl. The two dead ninjas turned into cut tree stumps.
A small distance away…in the trees Ookami and Inochi were watching their friends. "See I told you that planned sucked."
Inochi turned to his long time friend. He sighed, "Tsukikage-sama did warn us this could happen…This must be what he called the cursed-seal level 2…with him in that form…he'll lose his sanity…"
Ookami sighed…but then his eyes widened at the sight before him… "Shit! The hot girls are in trouble!"
Inochi stared that the sight and mentally cursed.
In the clearing Yami turned to the three new arrivals. The girls looked on in horror at the sight before them. Bodies were everywhere, as was blood.
Aki smirked at the demon before her… "This looks like fun…" She got into a taijutsu stance. Sakura and Ayame didn't look nearly as enthusiastic but got started doing hand seals.
Aki launched herself at the demon, not knowing that it was Yami or even bothering to check his forehead protector (on his neck). She threw a punch at Yami, and missed…her fist seemed to be pushed by some 'invisible force' away from his face. Yami grinned at her and Aki snarled at him…She spun around and tried to kick him…however the 'invisible force' quickly flipped her over. She was currently vertically upside down and quickly maneuvered her body so she would land on her feet. She launched herself at the demon again and started throwing a flurry of punches at him. They all missed. Suddenly the girl started getting blurry. Yami blinked a few times…it wasn't the girl…it was his vision…everything was going black.
Yami looked over at the twins to see them casting a genjutsu on the Demonic Hikari. Yami growled. He summoned his Fuuma shurikan, whilst holding Aki at bay, and sent them flying at the girls. The twins quickly jumped out of the way to avoid the Fuuma. It successfully dispelled the genjutsu off of the Hikari. The twins pulled out senbon needles and started chucking them at the demon. They immediately froze in their place. Yami quickly threw a punch at Aki, hitting her in the gut. Afterwards he grabbed her by the arm and threw her over her shoulder. Then he quickly threw the senbon needles back at the twins. They barely managed the dodge the attacks but lost sight of the demon…big mistake…
Sakura screamed when she felt someone grab her arms from behind. She turned her head and nearly had a heart attack when she saw the demon behind her. It came close and whispered in her ear. "You're the second person today who let me get behind them…" Sakura's eyes widened. Ayame was frozen in place and Aki was just starting to get back up. The demon turned his eyes to somewhere and motioned for her to do the same. She followed his gaze to see and genin who had his head, arms, and legs all cut off. He was drenched in blood. "That one right there was the first…" Black chakra, in the form of a whip, started circling around the girl. She was still stun by the sight before her…she couldn't even scream…
It successfully encircled itself around her petit form. Yami gave her one more demonic grin. "Say goodbye little girl." Yami pulled his arm back, but quickly stopped…his eyes widened. The dark chakra disappeared from the girl's body and he quickly started howling in pain.
He grasped his head and stepping backwards, trying to keep his balance. The cursed seal started to burn brightly on his neck; at that point everyone could see it through the holes in his destroyed jacket. The Kanji of light started shining silver. "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" His whole body started flaring with evil chakra as it was absorbed into the cursed seal. Finally the Hikari's body was cleared of all dark chakra. His body was back to normal; his wings had disappeared. His hair black again. His eyes blue once more. He was however still howling in pain and clutching his head. Finally he dropped to the ground and fell unconscious.
The three girls in front of him could only stare. After being released from the whip, Sakura had fallen to her knees, panting strongly. Ayame was the one to break the silence, "Yami…"
That's the second the other two members of team 7 decided to make their move. Ookami jumped in and grabbed the downed psychic. He placed Yami over his shoulder and jumped into the trees. They saw Inochi jump into the same trees.
The girls could only stare in the direction the trio went off in.
---Kirigakure(Hotel Room) Hours later---
A man was sitting could be seen sitting on a chair in his, less than adequate, hotel room. 'Bastards can't provide a decent fucking room…', the man thought as he ran his hands through his ebony hair.
His eyes shifted towards the open window. He raised his arm and at the same time a bird flew on it. He found a small scroll attached the bird and immediately relieved the bird of it. The bird flew off and perched itself on the windowsill as the man opened the message.
"Marguilas-sensei
I wish report a very odd individual. He seems to possess strong telekinetic powers. More importantly he seems to posses one of Orochimaru's Cursed Seals. This boy is a Tsuki Nin"
The man's eyes widened at this implication. 'Impossible…there are only three people with the power to grant cursed seals. Orochimaru-sama, Abel, and myself… and all missing-nin of sound were killed…its not possible' he then continued to read.
"He killed two teams of our weaker genins single-handedly by transforming into level 2 of the cursed seal. He seems to possess this whip made completely out of dark chakra."
"Chakra Whip?", muttered the Marguilas. 'There was only one clan in existence that possessed that kind of ability. But they no longer exist…I made sure of it myself…', Marguilas' eyes widened in shock.
---Flashback---
A tall man had just finished putting his shirt back on. Sweat dripping down his face. A sick satisfied smirk plastered on his face. He looked down at the woman on the floor.
She had tears welling in her eyes. Blood pasted on her naked body. She looked up at the man, whom only moments ago she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She stared at him with disbelieving eyes, as if wishing that all that occurred were only a nightmare…or some sort of misunderstanding. Her long blonde hair was slightly died red due to her bleeding…
He smirked at her. "Mission number one complete", he said as he held a scroll. He turned to her. "Now…mission number two…eradication of the Hikari Clan. Goodbye my darling…" He pulled out a kunai and went close to her, but then stopped. He looked deep in thought for a while…
Tears welled out of her blue eyes… "Marguilas-kun…" She reached her arm out to him, but he just kicked it.
He stared at her in disgust…and then smiled his sick smirk. He preformed a few hand seals. His hand started to glow purple. He then kneeled down next to the woman and placed his glowing hand on top of her naval. "This should be a lot more fun…in your weakened state…there's just no way you'll survive this…"
He kept his hand on her naval for a while. Finally his hand stopped glowing. The woman's eyes widened and she started screaming in pain and thrashing about…
"Goodbye…Kairi…"
---End Flashback---
'No…It would've been impossible for her to survive such an attack…Even if she did…she couldn't have survived…much less bare a child…Even if it did happen…the Hikari's were only partial psychics who received premonitions about future events…How would this child posses telekinetic powers…The cursed seals power?'
Marguilas shook his head and scribbled something on a piece of paper… 'I don't know who or what he is but he must be eliminated.' He attached the paper to the bird and it flew off…
---Island of Doom (Days later)---
Inochi was staring at the still form of Yami. They were both shrouded in darkness, due to the cave they were in. Ookami and Inochi managed to find another hide out whilst running with the unconscious psychic. It was another cave, but this one was in the middle of the forest. Inochi was busy eating some cold rations while waiting for Ookami. Ookami had gone scouting around, as well as foraging for some fruit.
Inochi sighed as he looked over at Yami. The psychic has been sleeping for five days straight. Inochi was starting to get worried about Yami. 'First he transforms into a monster…and now he won't wake up.'
Yami started to stir but then quickly stopped.
Ookami ran into the cave, a bag in his hand. "Here." He threw the bag in front of the medic. He opened it to reveal a variety of fruit.
"Good job…see anything?"
Ookami sighed, "Dead bodies…I saw a few teams escaping the forest using their scrolls…also saw a few fights…"
Inochi kept eating the ration. Ookami sat down and started eating his own.
---Somewhere off in the Forest---
"LET THE FABULOUS BATTLE OF YOUTHS COMMENCE!"
"WE'LL SHOW YOU JUST HOW MUCH OUR YOUTH BURNS MORE THAN YOURS!"
"YOSH! IF WE DO NOT WIN THIS BATTLE, WE WILL RUN FIFTY LAPS AROUND KONAHAGAKURE! IF WE CANNOT DO THIS WE WILL PUNCH A LOG FIVE HUNDRED TIMES! IF WE CANNOT DO THIS…"
And so the three continued to babble on. They had cornered three grass nins. The grass nins were just standing there at the display of the three leaf nins. It would be an understatement to say that they were terrified beyond all reason. One of the grass nins, a girl who looked like she was about to cry turned to one of her teammates.
"Damn it Saito…You have the scroll…for the love of all that is good…GET US OUT OF HERE!", she screeched to her teammate. 'Saito' grabbed the scroll that Kirigakure had given them. He opened it and with some blood activated it. Four puffs of smokes went around the grass nins. The green beasts stopped babbling to look at the scene before them with wide eyes. Four ANBU appeared, one for each puff of smoke. Three off flicked there cloak around the grass nins and in another puff of smoke, disappeared. The fourth took a look at the green beast…shuddered…and disappeared in his own puff of smoke.
The three leaf nins just looked at the spot where there opponents were only moments ago.
Handou broke the silence, "What…WHY DOES THIS KEEP ON HAPPENING TO US?"
Anaakeki covered his face with his arm, "I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT…THEY KEEP RUNNING AWAY…WHY?"
Kikku put a finger on her chin and looked deep in thought… "Maybe…just maybe…" Suddenly the sun came shining behind Kikku as if it was setting, but not really, "THEY RUN BECAUSE THEY ARE TERRIFIED OF OUR INCREDIBLE YOUTHFUL WAYS!"
Handou looked up and threw his fist in the air, "YES THAT MUST BE IT…THEIR YOUTH IS CLOUDED! AND UNABLE TO BURN TO THEIR BRIGHTEST CAPABILITIES."
Anaakeki looked up and pumped his fist, "THEN WE MUST DISCOVER OPONENTS WHO HAVE YOUTHS THAT BURN AS BRIGHTLY AS ARES! WE MUST FIND THIS GROUP!"
Kikku extended her arm and pointed her finger. "THEN WE WILL GO! WE RUN TOWARDS THE SETTING SUN! LETS GO!" With that the three genins ran off.
Unknown to them there were three figures watching them. One had silver hair and was wearing a mask, one had purple hair and had a snake around her neck, and the last one had brown hair and was smoking. The purple haired girl turned to her teammates, "What a bunch of freaks!" The two boys just nodded.
---Banshees (cough um…I mean Aki, Sakura, and Ayame…yea…that's what I meant)
They were still a bit shaken up about what happened a few days ago. They had met up with a few teams since then and easily defeated them. But they couldn't beat one ninja.
"Was that really Yami?", asked a curious Ayame.
Sakura shuddered and involuntarily place her hand around her neck. She suppressed a sob.
"I don't know…we'll worry about it late…", replied Aki. Ayame nodded. Sakura partially sobbed again.
---Team 7 Hours later---
"Ugh…", moaned the Psychic. He rose into a sitting position and covered his head. His eyes widened as memories of what happened returned to him. Every life he snuffed out. Every deed he did. Even attacking his own teammates. The two people that he started to consider brothers…But that's not what scared him… 'I don't care…I don't care that I killed those people…I don't care that I almost killed Sakura…I don't even give a damn that I almost killed Ookami and Inochi…' Tears started to well up in the eyes of the psychic… "I don't care…", he muttered. He felt a blade pressed against his throat. He turned to see Ookami glaring at him; he was holding one of his wakizashis.
"Are you…you?", he asked…
Yami couldn't find an answer. He lowered his head so he bangs shadowed his eyes. "I don't know…"
Ookami bared his teeth, "If you don't know! Then who the fuck does?"
Yami couldn't find an answer…Inochi just stared at the scene before him and sighed. 'Yami…'. He heard something his eyes shifted to the cave entrance. He quickly picked up a bag off of the ground. "Guys…hate to ruin this…but we've got company…" They all stopped when they heard a flute being played.
---Outside the cave---
Outside the cave were three genin about ten yards away from the entrance. A scantily dressed redhead girl pulled a flute off of her belt. She closed her eyes and started playing a melody and then muttered, "Mateki: Bakuretsu Supirittsu (Demon Flute: Exploding Spirits)."
Her chakra started to flare up as she kept on playing the melody. Her chakra started to gather in four locations around her. It gathered itself into four red orbs, which started to dance around the girl. The second she opened her eyes the 'wisps' flew forward into the cave. A few seconds later an explosion erupted out of the cave. However, like the last time, three figures leapt out of the cave.
Yami, Ookami and Inochi stared at the three genin before them. Ookami sneered, "More sound nin…"
Yami's eyes widened as he recognized the genins as the ones that he saw before. One of the genins, a boy with black hair and had a cleaver on his back, stepped forward. He sneered at the Hikari, "How did you come into possession of the cursed seal…"
Yami's eyes widened as he unconsciously grasped his 'birthmark'. Ookami sneered, "What's it to you?"
The boy sneered right back at Ookami, "That is a sacred symbol of Otogakure. You have no right to possess it!"
Yami, still grasping the seal, merely shook his head, "It's nothing but a dark curse! Hence the name cursed seal!"
The boy snarled, "You dirty bastard…how dare you!" He pulled out his cleaver.
A boy with white hair, wearing a white shirt and gray pants, walked forward; he then launched himself at the swordsman and started throwing punch after punch.
The girl grasped her dagger and did the same to Inochi.
The black-haired boy glared at Yami and jumped!
---Ookami---
Ookami was easily dodge punch after punch of the boy he was currently fighting. 'This guy sucks…' Ookami quickly drew both his wakizashis, prepared to end this quickly.
The sound nin, however, jumped back. He pulled bells out of his belts, which were attached through senbon needles. He started throwing them up, high into the air. Ookami kept an eye out to make sure that none of the senbon would hit him, while keeping an eye on his opponent. They all landed in a circle around the two fighters. The sound nins started performing hand seals. "Oni Yobirin no Jutsu (Demonic Bells Technique)."
Ookami's eyes widened. He dropped his swords and grasped his ears in pain. He dropped to his knees. 'Too Loud…'
He looked up to see a fist coming at this face. Ookami got thrown back a few feet. He landed with a thud.
---Inochi---
Inochi started hurling multiple senbon needles at the girl before him, but she kept blocking them skillfully using her dagger. She jumped at the medic and tried to slash him with her dagger. Inochi tried to jump back but still got a long slash on his chest.
He grasped his chest in pain. He grabbed some senbon needles and blocked another attack using them. He gasped when he remembered Yami's position. He reached into his back, still blocking the girl's dagger, and pulled out a Fuuma shurikan. He flicked it open and tossed it, "YAMI!"
---Yami---
Yami continuously dodged attacks from the cleaver-wielding ninja. Unfortunately in his weakened state, he could barely do anything and was getting multiple slashes and scratches on his body.
"YAMI!"
Yami turned in time to catch a Fuuma shurikan. He smirked as he blocked the cleaver, "With this…I'll tear him apart-" Yami widened his eyes… 'tear him apart…is that me talking out of necessity…or is it the cursed seal's influence on me?'
Yami became so distracted that the sound nin was able to push him back. Yami staggered several feet before falling. He had dropped his Fuuma. The sound nin jumped back a few yards. He seemed to wait for a second. The sound nin then grasped his sword in a way, as if to charge straight at Yami to run him through. He started to charge. 'He's coming! I'll have to push him back' Yami extended his arms, still sitting, towards the charging sound nin. He concentrated all his power to push his adversary back. Yami's eyes widened… 'It isn't working…my power isn't working…' Yami's eyes widened once more when he saw the boy getting closer. He shut his eyes tight, 'This is the end!'
Suddenly a horn sounded throughout the forest. It kept blowing. Yami just sat there, waiting for his life to end. It never came. He opened his eyes to see the sound nins sword less than and inch away from his throat. The sound nin looked at the psychic with disdain. Yami's eyes widened (again), 'The horn…the end of the first exam…'
The sound nin kept staring at the psychic as if he were trying to decided whether or not to snuff out his life or not…Kill the boy and get thrown out of the exam…or let the boy live and try to kill him later…? The boy screamed, "AAAAAHHHHHHH!"
