Pretty, Pretty Flower
Another day. Another death. Another nightmare. Yes, it was just routine. That's why she was alone in enemy territory. That's why her kunai littered the floor and walls. It's also why so many bodies lay limp on the floor. Why she was covered in these peoples' blood. Then again, she didn't really care anymore. She had done things bad enough that killing simply no longer fazed her.
Though, standing amongst the carnage, she had to smile at the sheer, raw irony of the situation.
Here she was in a flower shop, with blood staining anything within range of normal eyes, and beyond. It reminded her of Ino, who had been murdered in this very flower shop, her own flower shop, several years ago.
It really was bitter irony.
There was irony in the fact that she, that shy, disowned, weak Hyuuga Hinata, had just murdered everyone she used to know.
Tsunade…
Naruto…
Sakura…
Kiba…
Shino…
Neji…
Jiriya…
Lee…
Gai…
Kurenai…
Kakashi…
TenTen…
Asuma…
This is the power that she had gained after abandoning Konoha.
This is how she had single- handedly destroyed Konoha's strongest shinobi…
She had killed them…
Killed them in cold blood…
Just to see their life blood stain her hands…
Just like she had killed Ino.
Now, as she stood amongst the gore, she noticed the flowers. More specifically, the lilies. People used to compare her to these beautiful flowers. She'd hated that comparison. Now she agreed whole- heartedly. Delicately, the woman reached out a hand to one of the lovely plants, taking it in her hand with so much grace in that one movement; you would mistake her for some unearthly creature.
This flower, she decided, was just like her. So covered in blood you couldn't tell if it was the natural color, or if it was form the corpses around it. This beautiful, glowing, tainted flower. This pretty, pretty flower. Yes, it was just like her.
How ironic that it was so often chosen for funerals.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Please review! I need to know what I need to improve on! This is my first fic, so flames are welcome, as long as there's some sort of advice. Or you could just rant, I don't really care. Oh, yeah, please look for the companion pieces, by wingeddserpent (sp?), and PlumCrazy, made to Final Fantasy and Teen Titans.
Oh yeah, next chapter is angst. Don't let the theme fool you!
