Forlorn
Chapter 2: Sanctuary
"Look what you've done."
The emotions reflected in those eyes seem to be her only companions. Hatred, betrayal, anger, they followed her everywhere, coming out in the eyes of the villagers.
She looked around her.
The whole room was red. Pools of blood flowed around the floor whilst the walls were painted with the red liquid. The corpses seemed to float in the rivers of blood.
"Tell me, was it not you who pushed me to the extremes. Was it not you who came after me with the intent of killing? Was it not you who shunned me? Then why do you now berate me on my action…have I not suffered enough?"
The words were chosen carefully, demanding and accusing. But hidden behind those words were the cries of a broken child: a lost soul in a desolate word.
"You monster! You deserve all the pain in the world for all the pain you have inflicted on us! You killed so many of us…my mother, my sister…all gone because of you!"
"And so death is the only way to banish the demon vessel and thus the demon.?"
A sinister smile came into existence on her lips as she stared at her remaining attacker.
"Foolish girl, demons are not to be trifled with. Their origin is unknown as is the way to kill them. The Kyuubi is sealed inside me, I am his jailor. For all we know my death could mean the releasing of the demon."
Narue smirked as horror passed through the eyes of her attacker. How easy it was to trick them. Fools.
In the space of a minute, her opponent charged at her, the demon vessel, and the bane of so many lives. Hate became her ally as it amplified her strength and rage became her enemy as it prompted inaccuracy.
And Narue found herself face to face once again with her worst enemy.
Hatred.

My hands…
The young Uzumaki brought up her arms in the hopes of coming face to face with her hands. However her eyes saw only bloody stumps, the pathetic remains of her hands.
Pained eyes shut in an attempt to block out the pain coursing through her body.
She dared not look around her at the risk of crying. Her once clean apartment was now a vision of hell. Every wall had been hastily painted with blood. The once small pools of blood were now a red ocean…and she couldn't help but drown in it. Drown in the guilt, the hate, the horror, all the emotions she had tried to keep at bay were back.
Monster
Demon
Beast
Abomination
Those words…they followed her everywhere. Differ as they might they all meant the same thing. She was a demon an unwanted soul. And she hated it; she hated the cold looks, the insults, the hits.
And so, to forget the villagers disdain towards her she became different. She ignored it all; the looks, the hits, the lonlieness, her own cries for love. Difference became her only comfort, her sanctuarty.
She looked up at the ceiling in search of a colour other than red. Saphire eyes came nonetheless face to face with the unwanted color.
Blood
It was everywhere. Her encounter with it was inevitable. She couldn't escape.
And in that moment she began to long for the sky. To her it war the only aspect of the world that would never change. Be it night of day, be it with clouds or stars the sky was always there and always would be.
Her Sanctuary

My hands…
Hands that had been but stumps were now those of a normal person. Eyes of a deep blue gazed intently at them in an attempt to decipher their meaning.
Had it been but a few days ago that the cold blade of her attacker had maimed her? Had it been but a few days ago that her hands were rendered useless?
"It seems you have been reacquainted with your hands."
The tone in wich the voice spoke demanded respect. It was filled with wisdom beyond her years.
"Why the sudden interest in me Hokage-sama?"
The coldness with she spoke did not go unnoticed.
"I simply came to explain the resurgence of your hands."
Cold blue eyes turned to the Sandaime.
"Your help is not needed."
The Hokage had seen the pain hidden in her eyes and would not be relieved of his duty.
"It seems that the Kyuubi no Youki understands the terms of his sealing and is now working to help you."
"Why?"
"The seal used by the Yondaime directly linked your lifesource to the Kyuubi's. The link suggests that your demise would mean the Kyuubi's. Thus in an attempt to save himself the ninetails created a new pair of hands. This link also allows you to borrow his charka."
Ocean blue eyes turned back to her hands. They looked normal, but she knew that could not be…
"These hands…are they real?"
"It seems that the Kyuubi used charka and genjutsu to make them. He has done a feat impossible for humans and d in doing so saved your life, for which I am very glad."
Fine blond hair fell over the face of his young charge covering her expression.
I am so sorry Arashi.
"Hokage-sama, may I be left alone?"
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
The sky stood before her, calling her. And for the first time she gave into its call. And suddenly, the thing she hated the most became reality: she was dreaming.
Her feet were firmly planted on the railing beneath her. Her outstretched became wings and the sky her kingdom. The villagers were all gone she was the only one left.
Bright blue eyes shut in exaltation as a soft breeze passed, making soft blond strands sway.
She was free…
And before she knew it she was falling. Everything she knew was fading; the hate, the anger, the suffering. All that was left was a void.
Nothing
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
"Hokage-sama she is growing unstable."
"She may have been sleepwalking."
"She was found jumping off her apartment balcony! That is not normal."
"Can you really blame her?"
"This is not a matter of who is at fault, for, Kami-sama help us all, we all are."
"This has been the fifth assassination attempt."
"There will be more; the villagers have become more violent. The more violent they are the more assassinations there will be."
"The more assassinations there are the more killings there will be and the more suicide attempts…"
"Exactly Hokage-sama."
"I she is found doing suicidal acts again we will take action."
"What will we do?"
"She will be sent to the asylum…now is that all you needed to talk about Kakashi-san?"
"Hai, thank you Hokage-sama."
