Being in a state of mind,
That eventually erupts to numbness,
Trying to say I'm fine without crying,
My voice-box constrained with a metaphorical harness.
Why am I like this?
Three words become a life line,
Just because someone was wondering
if I was fine.
Water under the bridge,
But really is it?
Still feeling the traumatic burn of hands on bare skin,
Only now I feel the weight of, " Are you okay?".
Third Person
After the affair of words with the feline and rōnin, Yomanoha guided the injured but fierce Gin Kata to her territory in hopes of finding information for the female.
The mountain lion admittedly became only slightly entranced with the female after that androgynously attractive smile. Though the prideful snow leopard would never admit this fact, ever.
The rōnin however, was slightly dazed; in her days out of her snowy abode, she had never seen the likes of this.
During their trek towards Yomanoha's territory, the scenery had taken a drastic turn, what was a surplus of overgrown and dying trees soon turned into a cold and white abyss. She had seen snow, plentiful amounts, but never this.
It was illuminating, the particles of snow were bounded with omniscient light. There was no remorseful blotches of stained blood; but a myriad of differently sized snowflakes falling onto the snow.
Kata, to say the least, was mesmerized.
For a second, she felt pure, resonating with the scene before her. An image relapsed into her mind and she couldn't help but scrunch her face, thinking of her grief and scorn.
Yomanoha watched this scene in silent reverence. Even without knowing the young girl for long, she could feel the endless agony her heart was being put through, though when she heard a barrel of maniacal laughter, she immediately grabbed the collar of the mad lady and brought her further into the white abyss.
Minutes go by with the girl absent mindedly chuckling, no doubt to disturbing imagery of a certain person,
On a stake,
Spears gouging different body parts almost like a ceremonious image of a vile person's death
Kata being the only one to bare image to it though, so she'd bring a camera to capture the exact moment of misery in the latter's eyes while the other's eyes would be filled with utter glee!
The snow leopard only shook her head, which lead to the woman in her grasp almost falling due to the motion.
The leopard chuckled.
The Rōnin groaned.
The world moved forward.
In Another Plane of Existence
The Uchiha named Sasuke felt shivers revolve around his spinal cavity, he managed to curb it to an extent to save his pride, only sadly Jugo noticed, and voiced it to his despair.
" Is something wrong, Sasuke-san?"
The Uchiha only huffed and looked away with poorly hidden embarrassment.
-A few hours later-
The duo trekked into the white abyss and along the way, there was blood.
Blood, stained in a magnifying rouge,
blood that encompassed the memories of fallen brethren.
Yomanoha dashed towards her home- her only one- tripping occasionally due to desperation, pupils shaking, watering, unblinking.
Thinking, thinking about the impossibilities and not the possibles, hoping selfishly that the blood belonged to something other than her species- however few there were of them.
They were strong, they did no harm, they were not vicious so this can't be happening. Her species would never seek to cause a war between others not of their kind, so it couldn't be.
It shouldn't be.
Couldn't.
Yomanoha couldn't, because she won't. This human was going to their lifeline, the key to her species success, to their prolong activity, their sacrifice.
She had a few more days till the deadline, why did this happen, why could this happen, why?
Her home was ravished, no stone was left upturned in their upheaval of catastrophe, she had time, she had time, she had time.
The lioness went feral.
