Finished on june 24. I was in a song fic mood and i love this song. The song is time of dying by three days grace. r&r (dying)
On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Fuck. Your first real mission without any Shen Gong Wu and you're lying on the ground dying, you suck, you suck, you suck! These words were pumping through Deyna's system as she lay on the ground, blood leaking from a wound on her back. She had given the Wu back to the temple after finding a way to summon them with kuchiyose no jutsu. Shortly after, she had been assigned to help team Gai with a rather common mission, running scrolls to someone who needed them. Now, here she was, lying in a pool of blood from a wound that her own sword had inflicted.
Did i fall asleep?
Is this all a dream?
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
She growled to herself. Tenten had forged the sword herself and gave it to Deyna as a sign that she was a strong person who no longer needed to rely on baubles to do simple tasks. And now she had lost the sword, something both Tenten and Neji had warned her not to do, and had gotten herself stabbed with the damn thing. Fuck.
I will not die
I will not die
I will survive
Hadn't she been surviving this whole time? Hadn't she been surviving since she was six months old, cast out to die in the snow? Surviving battle after battle, be it against giant vermin, immortal jungle cats, or mid-terms? She had lived through an attack that left her friends in a coma and their old school in a state of ruin. And now after sending the Wu back to the temple, only now was she truly forcing herself to survive.
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
"Aww, is the widdle puppy tiewd?" Asked a voice, one that made her want to be dead. It was the voice of the Grass-nin who had stolen her sword, shut down all of her lightning and morphing attacks and stabbed her. A chuckle escaped his unseen lips. "I was told that you were a vicious, blood thirsty creature, capable of demolishing a small village. They weren't wrong. Your lightning attacks are amazing, generating it and manipulating it with no effort what so ever. And that Three Forms Melee technique, well, that was a nasty little surprise." More chuckling as he rolled Deyna onto her back, smiling as she groaned. "But now you're out of tricks."
On this bed i lay
Losing everything
I can see my life passing me by
Deyna glanced left and right, trying to think of a plan. None of the members of team Gai were to be seen, just many discarded weapons spattered in blood. Weapons... She smiled now, remembering one of the techniques she had developed. Team 8 joked that it could be her signature jutsu, if it required chakra.
Was it all too much
Or just not enough?
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
She turned and smiled at the guy, wickidness glinting in her brown eyes. "Seeing as you have a liking for well made weapons, allow me to show you some." With a roar she let out a burst of negatively charged lightning, followed immediately by a burst of positively charged lightning. The Grass-nin shrieked as the belt he was wearing dragged him down, it sticking to her abdomen. The weapons near by began to quiver, slowly inching towards her. "Now die!"
I will not die
I will not die
I will survive
The weapons leaped into the air and began speeding towards her, drawn to her like a magnet. Deyna's eyes roved the mass of weapons, making sure there were on openings. There weren't. She had fallen where Tenten had used one of her weapons attacks. The Grass-nin continued to wail as the weapons drew closer, the metal garments he wore sticking to her like glue. Magnetism. She had developed a way to turn herself into a living electromagnet. The technique drew all metal object to her, making it ideal to rid an enemy of their weapons. But they would fly at her, so she had invented a way to keep herself from getting hurt. While the weapons were drawn to one sphere of energy, she sould erect another around her body, shielding herself from them weapons. It was flawless.
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you,
In my time of dying
A sudden though occured to her. She couldn't erect the shield with this Grass-nin on top of her. Her defence now had many openings, around her sides, head, legs. The Grass-nin noticed this as well and smiled at her, a metal tooth glinting in the half light. "At least i can die knowing my enemy will die with me," he smirked. And then, as the weapons continued to come closer, she had another idea. Possibly the stupidest one yet.
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you,
In my time of dying
Another burst of magnetism left her body, this time through her mouth. The metal in the Grass-nin's mouth was immediately drawn to it and smashed into her. The taste of acrid breath filled Deyna's mouth, and she almost wished she hadn't done it. But there simply hadn't been any other way to get the bastard to shield her entire body.
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you,
In my time of dying
When the weapons finally hit their mark, she discovered that there had still been lots of openings. Her side had gotten nicked and there were a couple little slices on her legs, but she wasn't the one who had been turned into a human pincushion. Deyna sighed and looked at the ground to find a blade of glittering silver on the ground, right where the Grass-nin had dropped it. Now she understood why both Tenten and Neji had told her not too lose it. The blade had probably cost them a small fortune. Deyna grimaced as she shoved the sword back into her belt. Not to self: don't ever kiss a grass ninja again.
