I DO NOT OWN NARUTO AND/OR THE CHARACTERS
Hell of Mirrors
The Bombs continued on their way when they run into they were stopped by a sharp object flying at them, Hinata took a slight cut on her arm as they avoided it.
"What the fuck was that?" asked Hinata as Sakura healed her wound.
"Fortune told," said an unknown voice. "Fortune told."
Hinata caught another card that came flying in at them, she looked at it to find a tarot card.
"Have your fortune told," the voice said closer. "No charge."
They looked around to find a booth with an old woman sitting as she read some cards in front of her.
"Hey, you old bitch," Hinata said. "Come read my future."
Hinata took out a kunai and attacked the old woman with it, she stabbed the woman in the neck but she was miraculously unharmed and kept reading the cards.
"Gladly," the old woman said with the kunai in her neck as she put a card on the table. "You will soon miss the source of your courage."
"What?" asked Hinata.
"I have told you, who will be next?"
"We don't have time for this," Karin said.
Karin tried to leave but a barrier stops her.
"You cannot leave until I have read your fortune."
"Damn it," Sakura said. "I guess I'll go next."
"You will soon find the wind that has always been behind your sails has been stolen."
"What about me?" asked Ten.
"The greatest admirer of your beauty will soon face great anguish."
"And me?" asked Karin.
"You will soon find yourself in a similar chain of events that lead you to your current station in life."
"I guess that leaves me," said Ino.
"I see two things in your future. What makes you feel happiness will soon feel unhappy, I also see that you feel as if your life has been a waste of time as of late. Know this, soon your comrades will come to depend on you heavily… and put on some underwear."
"Wow, she's good," Ten said as they. "She knew that you don't wear underwear."
"What does she mean?" asked Hinata. "She basically gave us the same fortune."
They tried to ask her but found that she had vanished.
"Where'd she go?" asked Karin.
"I don't know," replied Sakura. "But I miss her already."
"Let's get going," Ten said.
They resumed their journey until they came to a man in a spotlight with something coming out of his mouth, a second spotlight shone next to him to show the Ringmaster.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is a man that takes liberties with his life as the slightest mistake could be the end of him. I bring you…"
"Shig, The Sword Swallower," the man said after pulling what turned out to be a sword from his mouth.
Hinata takes another kunai from her pouch and steps up.
"I got this one," Ten said as she cut off Hinata.
"No, this one's mine."
"I'm the weapons expert here, you can take the next one."
"No, damn it," Hinata continued to protest.
"Look, we don't have a whole lot of time," explained Ten. "And I got a trick up my sleeve for this guy."
"Fine," Hinata said before taking a bite out of her kunai in anger.
"Is she really eating her kunai?" Ino asked Sakura as they watched Hinata chew and swallow the piece of metal in her mouth.
"She is really into this wildcard thing," replied Sakura. "I'm impressed."
"Yeah, she's becoming the best wildcard ever," added Karin.
Ten pulled out a scroll and summoned a weapon as she did against Kisame, the weapon was not unlike a staff.
"Let's do this."
She charged Shig and attacked with a thrust of the weapon and he, being an expert sword swallower, swallowed it down his throat.
"Gotcha," she smiled as she twisted it.
Blades protruded through his body and killed him instantly.
"Okay, let's go," Ten said as she put the weapon away.
They continued on until the reached their destination.
"Hell of Mirrors?" Karin asked.
Well, it's the only attraction that's lit up," Ino said.
As they approached the entrance, they saw a sign.
"Facing yourself can be the worst hell of all."
They entered the attraction and found just what they figured on seeing, a row of mirrors.
"A row of mirrors, figures."
See? As they walked down the hall in search of whatever awaited them, they couldn't help but notice how each of them looked in the twisted mirrors.
"I thought these mirrors were supposed to make everyone look different," Ino said as she looked as Sakura in a mirror that made her forehead look particularly big. "You look just the same, Sakura."
"You're one to talk."
"What do you mean?"
Sakura pointed to a mirror that widened Ino.
"Damn it."
"Is this all there is?" asked a slightly disappointed Hinata as she looked a mirror that made her look short.
"It's not like there's a whole lot you either."
"Whichever one of said that can eat shit and die."
"What are you talking about?" asked Karin.
"Didn't one of you just say that I'm nothing special?"
"No, you crazy bitch."
"Then who the hell said that?" Hinata thought.
"Down here," said a voice that came from the mirror.
Upon further inspection, Hinata noticed that the vision in the mirror wasn't a shorter version of her, but her when she was younger.
"I said it, you're nothing special and you know it," said Mirror Hinata. "You almost lost the one you love to the freak with the big forehead because you were intimidated."
"What? I…" the regular Hinata couldn't finish her sentence.
"Do you think he really loves you back? You know how he is, he's just trying to make you happy," Mirror Hinata continued. "And look at you now, playing badass just because it's the role you have to play, you're still just doing as you're told. You don't have a mind of your own."
"No!" Hinata screamed as the mirror Hinata continued to berate her.
"Hinata?" said Sakura.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked a voice from the mirror that stopped Sakura.
"Who said that?"
"I did," said Mirror Sakura. "What help do you think you'd be to her? All you ever do is sit and watch while everyone else does all the important work."
"No, I pull my weight."
"This forehead of yours doesn't count."
As Sakura was facing herself, Ten and Ino had begun facing off with themselves.
"No one wants you, fat ass," said Mirror Ino. "Think about it, Sasuke ignored you, Sai ignored you, and Naruto."
"What at about him?" Ino asked as she was on the verge of tears.
"Well, does the term "mercy-fuck" mean anything to you?" Mirror Ino said with malice in her eyes.
"You're not as beautiful as you think you are," said Mirror Ten. "Naruto just told you that to make you feel good about yourself after Neji wouldn't give you a second look."
"Fuck you!"
"Don't believe me? Well, do you know he once called out the Land of Snow Princess's name when you were having sex?"
Karin watched them all frozen as they tried to overcome themselves.
"This must be some sort of mental torture," Karin thought to herself as she listened to them. "I've gotta do something to help or we'll never get out of here."
She went over to Hinata who was on the verge of tears.
"Hinata, you're one of the strongest people I know," said Karin. "You have to snap out of this. And Sakura, we wouldn't have been able to find Sota if it weren't for you."
She moved over to Ino and Ten.
"Ino, we're all just waiting for you show up. Like one of your family's flowers blooming. And, and Ten, you are super hot, I'd do you if you I you ever gave me the chance. Hell, you, Ino, Naruto and I could make it a foursome."
Karin kept trying to boost their confidence and eventually got through to them as they began to stand up to themselves.
"Now, listen here, you little bitch," said Hinata to her mirror self. "It's like this, there's a new Hinata walking the mean streets of the Leaf Village and she's kickin' more ass and scorin' more cock than you ever seen."
"Cha! I'm not the same girl I used be," Inner Sakura screamed at her mirror self. "I'm all woman with the strength that can only be measured by how hard I knock your ass out."
"I may be fat but Naruto thinks I'm all that," Ino said in defense of herself. "So, suck on that one."
"I'm not pretty?" Ten asked. "I'm a bonafide 20."
The mirrors that held their distorted reflections shattered as they overcame them.
"I seems as if you're stronger than we gave you credit for," the Ringmaster's voice boomed. "You'll find directions to the next attraction outside, back the way you came."
As they left, they thanked Karin for helping them.
"Thanks, Karin," said Sakura. "Did you mean those things you said?"
"No," Karin lied.
"Yeah, well, why weren't you affected?" asked Ten.
"I'm guessing the four of you faced your repressed thoughts and anxieties."
"That still begs the question of why you weren't affected," said Ino.
"I told you I used to work for Orochimaru, I know I'm fucked in the head. Now, let's go."
