Now what?

I must be dead, Misery thought as she opened her eyes, is this what being dead's like? I don't know. Never been dead before. So why am I seeing things in a...what's the word?-a hospital. Maybe it's my memories. But I don't remember this. Maybe it's someone else's.

"Actually, you're alive," a purple haired nurse said.

"Can you read minds?" Misery asked.

"You were talking out loud."

"Oh," Misery realized her words were slurred, "Am I drunk?"

"No. We put you on some painkillers."

"Oh. I'd rather be drunk," Misery muttered as she drifted off to sleep.

Misery woke up again, this time in serious pain. Suddenly she realized that she had no idea how she was still alive.

"How am I still alive?" she asked the nurse- a pink haired nurse, this time.

"Mizuki told everyone what had happened and we sent out a search party. Someone found you and brought you back. Whoever hid you should have thought it out better and not put you on Hyuuga land. They spotted you with Byakugan."

"Byakugan?"

"Yes. It's something that they can use to see through things," she said, "I don't really know how it works."

Misery thought. It was a bloodline. She had a bloodline. But hers was supposed to only cause astral appearances, not actual physicaly send her places. How had she gone then and fought.

She looked down at her chest and saw it was bandaged up. How could she have gotten injured if it was just a mirage? That wasn't natural.

"When can I go?"

"In two days. Anko Mitarashi is coming by. She needs to question you about what happened," the nurse said, "Mizuki said that they let him escape and that Salem-the other person we saw- had tortured him."

Misery nodded. She looked up at her, "When will Anko be coming by?"

"Later today."

"So let's get this straight," Anko asked after Misery explained what had happened, "You were just going on and went to visit a convict in solitary confinement- how'd you get there again?"

"My parents own the place."

"Right. So anyway, you went to visit him and became friends," Anko continued, "And after awhile your parents died and you discovered you had a bloodline. Then you went out-"

"-an illusion. My bloodline," Misery said.

"Right. And the next morning you went out and found Mizuki and inlisted the help of Sora, who turned out to be the second torturer, but of course you didn't know that at the time."

"Yeah."

"And then you went and left with Mizuki, but were followed by Salem and Sora."

"Yes."

"And then you came to the village," Anko continued, "And Sora attacked Mizuki and Salem attacked you. And then he left you in the Hyuuga compound and you projected yourself here. And you fought and then killed Sora and left Salem blind in one eye. And then he slashed your chest and you were found and that's all you remember."

"Yeah. That's how it happened," Misery said. She looked down at her fingers. For the first time in a long time she felt hurt. She felt like she was going to burst with her hopelessness at the moment. But she was truly sad.

"Could you do me a favor?" Misery asked the current nurse (who had blue hair this time).

"Sure," she said as she looked over.

"You know Salem? Do you know what's going to happen to him?"

"Yeah. He's going to be sentanced to a lifetime in prison."

"Could...could you give him a message?" Misery asked.

"Ok." She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen.

"Could you tell him that...that his sister's alive. And don't tell him it's from me," Misery said quietly.

"Alright. Yes. I'll do it."

Two days later, Misery got out of the hospital. She walked down the streets of Konoha. Mizuki was going to be let out later that day. Misery walked to the library and looked up her bloodline limit. She read for several hours until she found her own specific bloodline.

The user is able to project their image into another section of the world, as long as they think of a person related with a specific emotion. They can't physically touch anything or be injured, however. If by some chance they're physical body is hurt or killed, they'd instantly vanish. They'd actually fade away. If they were physically hurt, they'd appear hurt in their illusion and appear to be physically hurt. It's very straining on the mind to use it.

Misery closed the book. It continued to explain the history of the bloodline etc. She didn't understand.

If she'd been able to do that, how had she been able to kill Sora and kick and all that? How could she have been injured? And how was it that she'd almost died?(Not how was she still alive,-which she wondered) but how she was hurt like that.

But suddenly it hit her. The same thing that Mizuki had done to save her life was how she was able to physically project herself. It was that reason that she was saved.

Notes: That was a quick review. Sorry if this's confusing, but I think this was a good chapter. Now if you can still wonder how she was saved by Mizuki, then think back to the last few lines of the last chapters.

I'm currently listening to Placebo, which is the awesomest band ever.

Thank you Razell. Tell me if you've got any idea of what happened. It's a pretty cool idea, actually. Very important part of the story.
