Mirrors

"Hey, Haruto!" I called to him the next day.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"Where were you yesterday?" I asked.

"Around." Haruto replied. I sighed. "And why do you have a mirror in your hand?"

I looked down at the mirror. "Experimenting with the light." I answered.

"Ah."

"Yep." I held the mirror up and the light shone unto it. It went to the glass above and then to the glass behind me and back to the mirror. It was double sided. "See. Isn't that cool?" I asked.

"Yeah." Haruto said.

I then went to go touch the glass on the mirror to see if it was hot and my arm went right through! I pulled it back and dropped the mirror. Haruto caught it just before it fell and broke.

"Dude! You saw that right?" I shrieked.

"Yeah, it was weird. You went right through." Haruto replied calmly.

"I am not bringing that out here again." I said and grabbed it from him. "Stupid mother. Stupid father. Stupid family." I muttered to my room. Hmph."

Surprisingly, Lauren hadn't commented on what I said. I smirked at this. 'Maybe I blocked her out...' I thought. I collapsed on my bed and then remembered I had training. 'Crap.' I thought. I was exhausted. Maybe, I'll pretend to sleep. And that's what I did. Only, I fell asleep and Sasuke came to wake me up.

"You missed practice and now you have to make up for it with two hours." Sasuke said harshly.

"What? TWO HOURS! But my training sessions are only a hour!" I yelled.

"An extra hour for sleeping."

"You know what!" I stood up hard causing me to stomp my feet. "I'm tired of you acting like you're all great! If you're so great, then why couldn't you protect your own wife from getting killed!" I was angry and in rage. I had no idea what I was saying.

But his hand was on my throat, telling me to be silent.

"Don't you ever talk to me in that tone or about that." Sasuke said harshly.

I struggled against his grip. "I will take to you in what ever tone I what and about what ever I want. You can't control me!" Those words sent an adrenaline rush throughout my body. Sending surges of chakra to where ever it could be released. My hand, feet, eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

"Daddy, help me!" I screamed scared out of my mind. This was the one time in my life that I have been scared of anything.

Sasuke stood back for a moment with a stern face. He didn't make any motion of helping me.

"Daddy!" I screamed as I looked at my hands. The skin was peeling right off. "Daddy help me please!"

Sasuke's POV

I was furious with Kenkai. She skipped practice, again. This had to be the third time since it started. I went into her room and found her sleeping.

'Of course she'd be tired...' I thought sympathetically. 'She works hard but isn't getting anywhere.' My furry was back and all sympathy was gone. I shook her. And she woke up.

"You missed practice and now you have to make up for it with two hours." I said, to my surprise, harshly.

"What? TWO HOURS! But my training sessions are only a hour!" Kenkai yelled.

"An extra hour for sleeping." I was never pushed this hard as a kid. But I had pushed myself that far.

"You know what!" She stood up. "I'm tired of you acting like you're all great! If you're so great, then why couldn't you protect your own wife from getting killed!"

I was in rage now. I grabbed her neck and slam her against the wall.

"Don't you ever talk to me in that tone or about that." I said harshly.

I felt her struggle against my grip. "I will take to you in what ever tone I what and about what ever I want. You can't control me!"

Something happened and I didn't understand what. But chakra came pouring out of Kenkai.

"Daddy, help me!" She screamed.

I stood back for a moment with a stern face. I tried to absorb what was happening. It was all mind boggling, even for me.

"Daddy!" She screamed. 'Daddy... She called me daddy...' I thought.. "Daddy help me please!" 'There it was again.'

But then a vision came to my mind. Kenkai yelled. "Daddy, help me, please!" Again. In my vision, it was Sintary. "Sasuke, help me, please." Her eyes begging me. 'How? I don't know how!' I yelled. "Help me by saving her. Embrace her. Like you would me." Her voice faded and so did the vision.

"Daddy!" Kenkai's skin was almost completely peeled off on her arms.

"Kenkai!" I yelled and ran to her. I embraced her, just as Sintary had told me to. It had stopped. My chakra had altered it, just as it went with Genjutsu. I mumbled nonsense to her.

"I just want to be normal." Kenkai cried. "I want a normal family and a normal life. I want nothing to do with this life."

"Shh..." I shushed her.

She looked up at me, eyes puffy and red and tears falling.

"Will you tell anyone?" Kenkai asked.

"Dizzy or Lauren have to know so they can heal you. If anyone else asks, you hurt yourself in training." I said.

"Let's go to Dizzy. Lauren doesn't like me that much." She said.

"They both love you. You're just following your name's meaning." I asked with a small smile.

"And what's that?" She asked as I helped her walk to Dizzy.

"Your name means headstrong, willful, boisterous."

"Yep. That's exactly me." She said sleepily.
