Rosa sat in a chair next to Kana. Sasuke and Naruto had been able to walk the next day, but Kana was still in bed. The room was silent as she watched over her. Kana's words played over and over in her head. 'I want to die!' The door opened and Rosa looked up to see Kakashi. He walked towards Kana's bed. "Has she woke up yet?," He asked. Rosa shook her head, "No, I want to talk to here, so…could you do me a favor?," He down at her. "Could you keep them out of the room, I don't want them to se her like this, just until I can erase her memory again," Kakashi simply nodded as they watched the sleeping girl.
Kakashi appeared at the teams meeting point and waved at them. "Yo,"
"Your late!," Sakura and Naruto shouted. "Sorry, I got a bit side tracked," He said. "Kakashi-sensei, how's Kana?," Sakura asked. "She's…Hanging in there,"
"That's good news, we'll go visit her and see how she's doing," Kakashi raised his hand up to stop him. "Naruto, Kana isn't allowed to have visitors' for a little while,"
"What? Why?," Naruto shouted. "She isn't stable enough to have visitors' and she isn't to be woke up," He said. "Kakashi, is there something you aren't telling us?," Sasuke asked. "…You will get to visit her a bit later, as of right now she's under 24 hour guard," He said. "If something isn't wrong why can't we see her?," Naruto asked. Kakashi sighed. "Naruto, please just wait a while longer, we cannot wake her up," He said. Naruto clenched his fist and growled. 'Something isn't right…' Sasuke said to himself.
That night Naruto climbed up a tree and looked up to see a dimly lit room with a candle. Naruto peeked his head up to see Kana sleeping in her bed and no one in the room. He was about to open the window when he felt a pain in his head. He looked up to Sasuke who was holding his chin. "Sa-Sasuke?!," Naruto whispered. "You idiot! What are you doing here?!," Sasuke whispered back. "I'm visiting Kana," He said. "Tch,"
"Wait are you visiting her too Sasuke?," Naruto asked. Sasuke blushed. "Why do you ask the obvious!?," He asked. "Hehe, well what are we waiting for?," Naruto whispered and opened the sliding window. They stepped inside quietly. Naruto chuckled as he saw Kana's sleeping form. Sasuke closed the window behind them. They walked to the side of her bed. "Kana…She looks so pale," Naruto said as he looked over her, the color was gone from her body and her pink lips were white. She was ghastly white. "She's so cold," Sasuke whispered touching her hard hands. She felt like she was dead. "Hey, Kana?," Naruto whispered. "Don't wake her up! We just came to visit her," Sasuke whispered sharply. "But…I want to know if she's really okay," Naruto shook her shoulders gently. "Naruto you idiot!," Kana slowly began to open her vacant eyes. Not only did her skin lose it's color but her eyes did too, they look very dark. They were open half-way. She looked at Sasuke and then Naruto. "Sasuke…Naruto? Where am I?," She asked weakly. "You back home, at the hospital," Sasuke said. "Home?," Her eyes shot open and she sat up. Her breathing was becoming extremely heavy as if she didn't have and air in her lungs. She clenched the area in her chest where her heart was beating rapidly. "No! No! Why?! ," She kicked the blankets off her and pressed her back against the headboard. "I didn't-,"
"Kana what is it?," Naruto asked as he reach out to her. "Stay away! Don't come any closer to me!," She screamed. "Kana?," leaned in closer to her. "What's wrong? Tell us so we can help. Are you in pain?,"
Her memories began to resurface. "Stay away! I don't want to hurt you! I'm a monster!," Tears streamed down her cheeks. "Someone…Someone like me shouldn't exist! I should be dead like everyone else!," She slapped Naruto's hand away. "Please!," She grabbed Sasuke's shirt and looked up at him. "Please…Please kill me!," Sasuke grabbed her hands. "Kana, calm down!," He said. "No you don't understand!," She screamed and backed away. "You don't understand! It hurts! I want it all to go away! I don't want to be here!," The door slammed opened and Rosa stood in the door way. "No Kana!," She ran over to her and hugged her. Kana felt her suddenly body relax and she closed her eyes. Rosa laid her back down. "She should be okay for now," She covered Kana's body with the blankets. Rosa looked up at Sasuke and Naruto as they watched their friend go back to sleep, completely stunned.
Rosa put down two cups of water in the table in front of Sasuke and Naruto as they sat on the couch in the hospital. They just stared at it. "Rosa, what's wrong with Kana, why did she act like that?,"
Rosa sighed, "I guess there's no hiding it anymore, Kana's going through a mental break down," She said and they looked up at her. "A mental break down? From what?," Naruto asked squeezing his pants.
"The memory of her family," She said lowly. The hospital waiting room was empty besides the staff walking around.
"Her family?,"
"Yes, they were killed when she was young," Naruto began to become confused. "But when she was young she wasn't like that," Naruto said remembering her young smiling face. "That's because I erased her memory and brought her here after it happened,"
"So her memory was erased up until now?," Sasuke asked. "No, just those memories, I didn't want her to suffer anymore," She said spinning her coffee gently in her mug. "That attack from those ninja must have made her forget everything and when her memory started to come back, everything must have returned to her," She sighed. "But why was she screaming those words? She kept saying she did something wrong, she called herself a monster and that she should be dead like everyone else," Sasuke said. Rosa pressed her lips together. "Kana….Is the one who killed her family,"
They looked at Rosa, completely stunned. "I never wanted you to know, so you two wouldn't look at her like a monster, she cares about you two the mot you know,"
"But why? Kana isn't the type to kill her own family,"
"Someone made her do it," She said and stopped spinning her coffee. She clenched the cup a bit.
Thunder roared in the night sky as the rain came down. Kana rolled over on her futon as she began to sweat and fell hot. Her white dress was getting soaked from her sweat. Her short brown hair sticking to her face.
'Kill them, kill them' A dark husky voice said to her. Kana opened her eyes and they turned black and empty. She sat up and looked across her bedroom, her eyes landed on a sword sitting on a shelf on her wall. 'Kill them, what are you waiting for Kana, don't you want to protect the village? So kill them, now!' She stood up and grabbed the sword from the shelf and pulled it from it's sheath, her face appeared on the sword, and it gleamed from the light from the thunder. Kana opened her bedroom door and stood in the hallway, staring at the floor. Her eyes still empty and dark. She pulled the entire sword out and threw the sheath away. She held the sword up in her hands and walked down the hall to a bedroom. She slide open the bedroom door and silently walked over to a sleeping girl with beautiful dark hair, she was sleeping peacefully. 'Huh? No! Wait! Don't kill her Big sis! Wake up!,' She shouted to herself, she felt her arm lift up and brought the tip of her sword straight into her sister's heart. 'No! No! Yenny!,' Blood splattered on her feet and the bottom of her dress.
Kana watched as her sister opened her eyes and stared at her sister with confused look before blood fell from the corner of her mouth and she stopped moving. Kana pulled the sword out and walked out of the room and to the next one. She opened it and saw her brother sitting at his desk with his light on. He had brown hair and a small bang over his left eye and brown eyes. He was studying peacefully. Kana silently ran her sword through his chest. He gasped as He coughed up blood. He turned to see Kana with an emotionless face, she pulled the blade from his chest and he fell back, gasping for air. Kana turned away and walked out of the room to the next. 'Kotaro! Big brother! Please stop it! I don't want to kill anymore!' She screamed to herself. 'It's already to late young Kana, there's only four more to go,' He chuckled loudly. Kana walked into a larger bedroom where her parents slept. "No! Please stop! Someone help me! I can't control my body!' She shouted to herself. She raised her sword and brought it down on her fathers neck. He let out a loud groan. Her mother sat up and turned to him. "Dear?! Kana?! What have you done?! What's happened to you?! Kana! Stop," Her mother let out an ear piercing scream before Kana grabbed the base of the sword and stuck it through her mother's heart just like her sister. A mans laughter rang in her head and she screamed. 'Two more! Go! Kana, destroy your brother and sister,' Kana ran out of the room with the sword in her hand. "Stop it! Why are you doing this?!,'
She busted through her eldest sister Lia's room and cut her down and she moved to her brother Saji's room where he turned to her and she ran her sword through him. The man's chuckled began to get louder. 'They're dead! Finally!,'
Kana felt her body become moveable and she screamed and fell to the floor as she looked at her hands, she was covered in blood, from head to toe.
"When I found her she could hardly speak, when I asked her who was controlling her, she said she could only here his voice and nothing else," Rosa whispered her cup was empty and she completely squeezed it shut. "That's awful…," Naruto said aloud. "Can't you erase her memory again?," Sasuke asked.
"I am, but as time goes by, Kana get's older and older, this technique is starting to fail to the point where I don't think she'll be able to be effected by it but for the time being, I'll keep using it,"
Rosa sat in a chair next to Kana's bed, her eyes closed and her hands lifted and pointed at Kana. Sasuke and Naruto on either side. A large purple circle appeared under her bed and the room turned dark. The circle disappeared and shattered into small pieces and circled around Kana before disappearing. A few minutes later Kana made a small noise before opening her eyes. "Naruto, Sasuke? What are you doing here?,"
"Kana! Are you okay now?," Naruto asked.
"Hm? What do you mean?," She asked and slowly sat up. "Rosa-sensei? Why re you here?,"
"I'm just coming to check on you,"
"Oh, well thank you," The room fell silent. Kana gave them a puzzled look. "Why the long faces? I'm okay I promise!," She giggled and smiled. "Kana, your back!," Naruto hugged her and she blushed. "Na-Naruto, what is it?," Her face was a bit flushed. She looked up at Sasuke who was staring at her. "Sasuke? Are you okay?,"
"Yeah, fine, just get some rest," He said touching her hand, it was warm this time. Sasuke felt himself smile. 'She's okay..,'
"But I'm perfectly well," She said. "Kana, we'll come back tomorrow," Rosa said and smiled. "Oh, alright…," The three left the room silently and quietly. Rosa closed the door and turned to Sasuke and Naruto. "Please….Will you two keep this secret?," She asked. They turned to her and nodded and walked away together with a sad look on their faces.
"Sasuke…?,"
"What is it?,"
"We can't let Kana know we know-,"
"I know that!," He snapped. "I…I don't want her to look like that again, the way she looked at me when she asked me to kill her….I don't want her to look at me like that again," Naruto smiled a bit. "Well then I'll do my best to keep her smiling."
"You?," Sasuke turned to him. "What makes you think you have what it takes to make her happy,"
"What does that mean?,"
"An idiot like you doesn't even know how she fells,"
"What?! Who are calling an idiot?,"
"She's ad a crush on you since she first meet you," He said,
"Wha-?," Naruto blushed
"Loser, you didn't even know,"
"That's because…Kana looks like she likes you," It was Sasuke's turned to blush. "Well it doesn't matter, I'll become the Hokage and impress Kana," He smirked.
"What's that?! Like that will ever happen," Sasuke said back. They argued the rest of the way home as the sun began to rise.
