Rage
When Asuka wakes up, it hurts to move. She pulls her shirt up and sighs at the sight. Her skin is a network of bruises. Asuka doesn't think any of her ribs are broken, but she knows she should get them checked any way. There's a man in town who will help as long as she brings him herbs from the forest. Asuka writes a quick note and grabs her bag. She's gone before anyone wakes.
Her hands are sore from ripping up roots and her side aches. Asuka know she should get going, but the graves are nearby and she needs to see them. She needs to close her eyes and just pretend for awhile. She reaches the clearing, only to find another person is already there. She feels a spark of irritation, this is her spot. The irritation flares to pure anger when she sees where the man's hand is. He's touching the sword. He's touching Zabuza's sword. ' He has no right, he doesn't deserve the sword!' Asuka legs tense, and she just manages to stop herself from tackling him, and making sure he'll never be able to touch anything that isn't his again. He must have felt her bloodlust because he shift and turns to face her.
Her voice quakes as she asked him, "Are you here to pay your respects? You know, it's not nice to touch other people's things without permission." The mans rigid form relaxes and he smiles. Asuka hates that smile, it itches at the back of her mind and she feels like she's seen smiles like this before. It's the kind of smile someone gives when they are looking at someone completely below them. "Since this idiot is dead, I figured he wouldn't be needing Kubikiribōchō. What's it to you, little girl?" The burning anger that Asuka was holding back flows over and she snarls at him. Her body feels like it's on fire and her mind feels empty. The man shudders at the sudden increase of bloodlust, and all of a sudden she's gone.
"Where the fuck are you, girlie? Come out and I might decide not to kill you." From her spot in the tree, Asuka laughs. Despite his threat, the man is shaking. He is afraid of her, and it is addicting. He's muscled and strong, but she is better. Launching herself off the branch, Asuka lands on the man's back. He goes to grab her, and Asuka bites. Her teeth meet the bone of his finger and then she's tugged away. The man tosses her and she slams against a tree. She's furious. Spitting out his shredded skin, she rises on unstable legs. He's stronger, he's stronger then her. Asuka hates the feeling, it makes her enraged. She wants to tear him to pieces.
Zabuza's sword is nearby, and Asuka knows it's her only chance. It's the only way she'll be able to see his insides. Kubikiribōchōs hilt feels like it belongs in her hand and when she rips it from the ground, it feels light as a feather. She feels the man's fear. She's in charge now, and it's addicting. Asuka swings the sword, letting momentum carry her, The man tries to jump out of the way. It nicks his side, and Asuka frowns. She wanted to see his intestines. "Stand still," she growls at him. Asukas voice surprises herself. 'What am I doing?' The sword is in mid swing when the anger leaves her, and it's already stabbed through his rib cage when she realizes what she's done. Her legs give out, and Asuka sits on the bloody ground. The man is pinned to a tree by Kubikiribōchō, like some sort of insane tribute to his murder. Suddenly, pain attacks Asukas body and she doubles over on the ground. When the pain comes, her numbness leaves. 'Why do I feel this way, why am I like this?' The whole sick situation has a sense of déjà vu. 'Has something like this already happened? Why can't I remember anything?'
Asuka doesn't know how long she cries, but eventually she starts to feel empty. She stands up and tears Zabuza's sword from the man. He slides to the ground, head lolling up. His empty eyes meet hers and it looks like he's staring. Asukas stomach roles and she fights the urge to vomit. 'No one can know.' She takes a deep breath and sets down the sword. She needs to stay calm, after all, she has a body to hide.

Holy fuck, I'm on a role. Your welcome, all 10 people who read this. I'm not sure if this is obvious, but the serum made Asuka really strong, with the unfortunate side effect of anger management issues.
