Chapter 3 High Spirit Angel

Iruka ran through the woods like somebody was after him. Actually it was just four ninjas trying to catch up with him. He heard Kotetsu curse as he almost missed a turn therefore almost miss hitting a tree.

"Iruka slow down," Kakashi shouted. It was the loudest he probably ever yelled, but that was okay. Cause at least Iruka listen.

"Finally," Kotetsu said as he caught his breath. Iruka didn't think he was tired. "Where did all that energy come from?"

Iruka shrug, "I don't know. One minute I couldn't keep my eyes open and the next I'm bursting with energy." Three days ago Iruka couldn't stay awake for nothing. Now they can't get him to slow down for anything, but they haven't gotten into any trouble so everything was okay and they didn't need to stick by him as often. Although the medic doesn't like the way he exerting his energy, he wasn't complaining. What was happening now was a miracle.

Kakashi threw Iruka on his back and what do you know he fell right to sleep.

"I'll honestly never understand him," Ibiki said.

Kotetsu laugh and then a tear slip down his face. "Damn it. Damn it all."

"Kotetsu get a hold of yourself." Kakashi said.

"Don't tell me to get a hold of myself Kakashi. My best friend doesn't remember anything for the past six years except vague stuff like his parents are decease, or he's still at the academy. That he thinks he's ten. Also he knows that he's a chunin. Do you see how fuck up that is? His entire timeline is screwed. What's next he's going to wake up thinking that the Kyubbi attack happens today? Well?"

Yes that's just how bad his memories are. Shit I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks his parents were alive.

"Okay, so maybe you have every right to upset but that doesn't mean you shouldn't calm down. Iruka is put in delicate situation and we must be happy along with him. So far he's five with a chunin status. He doesn't know about the Kyubbi and he thinks he's at the academy. It's no telling what he's seeing in his mind but we got to make sure he's stays calm."

Ibiki nodded. "The medic and I went into his mind and we saw so disturbing stuff. Like his mind have mirrors and each mirror there is some kind of memory attach to it. We touch them and they play like a video except it's all scratched up. And when we move to another mirror it does the same thing. When we take a closer look at the mirrors, they have cracks in it. Not big ones, but little one that you have squint and see. So I'm thinking the effects of his memories are not long, but that doesn't mean his mind will go back to normal.

The sun was hiding behind dark clouds. Oh this isn't good. Thunder roll and lightning flash, Iruka at the sudden noise and ask, "What's going on?" He asked in such a normal way everybody crowded him.

"Iruka tell me what day is it." Kotetsu ask.

Iruka glared at him, what he just asks was a stupid question. "Well if I remember correctly I was kidnapped for god knows how long, so no I don't know what day it is."

Kotetsu bounced up and down and screamed, "I could kiss you right now."

"And risked getting skinned I don't think so." The two of them laugh and Ibiki went in.

"Do remember anything that happened to you?"

Iruka shuddered. He did not want to remember those craze looks it was unbearable.

"Angel." They looked.

"Angel is what they kept calling me. Their beautiful dark angel. They call me dark because I stole their heart and won't give it back" Iruka shivered. "They put me in a dark room. They chained me to the wall and started talking nonsense and yet not one time they asked me for information about Konoha."

"So why did they kidnap you?" Kakashi asked suspicious about the whole story.

"That just it I don't know. They keep saying I'm their savior and, and I don't know. Have the time I barely was able to stay awake. They kept cutting me each cut was either shallow or deep. Neither of them to kill me. I was bound and gagged and I couldn't use my voice anymore. I'm surprise I'm talking now. The pain was unbearable. I only got a glimpse of their faces and I couldn't see anymore I didn't want to see. That's why I felt as though I was blind."
Ibiki calculated and thought he isn't trying to hide everything. I think he's just honest to god scared. Terrified that they was probably going to come back for him.

"And the scary part about it was they said they were going to come back for me." Ibiki, Kakashi, and Kotetsu flinched.

………………………………………………………………………

We watch as Iruka slept. He squirms and moaned in pain and fear. We sat there and watch.

"This isn't good. If they come back they might take him again and do more then physically hurt him and give him little nightmares."

"I'm tired of my questions not being answer." Kotetsu gave Kakashi an owlish look.

"I don't recall you ever asking questions."

"My question is, who is this man to be captured the way he was? Why him? What was he to them? He doesn't seem like the one to catch people attention like that. So why?"
"Although we all don't want to admit it, he affects us in a strange way. It scares us. He's our angel, our light, our protector, and or savior. He's so kind, I don't recall him every being selfish before. I guess that's what gets him into trouble."

There you have it.
