𝘿𝙍𝙄𝙁𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂 - Max Mayfield

32. The Flayed

"So... He's inside you?" Max asked as they all sat in the basement,the mirror still in front of Aiden.

"Kinda," her boyfriend replied. "Just a fraction of him anyway. Sakumo latched a portion of his chakra into my consciousness,but even I didn't know about it cause it took a long time for that portion to evolve and take Kakashi's form"

"When did you find out?" Mel asked.

"The night we all went to the snowball," Aiden replied. "Nance was helping me dress up..."

"And he saw me when he looked into the mirror, " Kakashi chuckled. "The look on his face was priceless"

"Oh,haha" Aiden rolled his eyes.

"And he's like your spirit guide" Will theorised.

"Yeah," Aiden nodded.

"So when you fell unconscious" Nancy said. "He took over and threw the lightning arrow at Billy?"

"I did," Kakashi said. "I'm impressed by your level of muscle memory, Aiden. It's almost like your hands made the hand signs on their own"

"What can I say?" Aiden shrugged with a smile. "Being an anime geek pays off"

"And the red eyes?" Max asked. "What's up with that?"

"That was my Sharingan," Kakashi said. "I didn't think I'd be able to use it with your body"

"I thought you lost your Sharingan during the war" Aiden questioned. "Madara ripped it out of your eyes"

"That's true," Kakashi nodded. "Though,this version of myself that my father placed into you still has the Sharingan, since that's the version that met up with him in limbo"

"Before we go further,can someone please explain what a Sharingun is?" Jonathan asked. Nancy nodded in agreement.

"The Sharingan is an eye that stems from the Uchiha clan," Lucas explained as much as he could remember. "It allows the user to see through, predict and copy any ninjutsu with just a Single look"

"Smart kid" Kakashi nodded in approval, impressed.

"What?" Mike shook his head at what he was hearing. Eleven seemed utterly speechless.

"And that's just the surface," Aiden added. "those eyes can mess with your five senses to make you experience illusions that would drive you crazy"

"And you're just mentioning this eye,now?" Nancy raised her eyebrow.

"I didn't have it so what's the point in bringing it up?" Aiden shrugged.

"We are gonna talk more about this when this whole thing is over, Denny" Nancy gave him a stern look. "I'm just glad someone's keeping you away from stupid decisions"

"Trust me,he has a lot of wild thoughts," Kakashi sighed. "I'm glad he hasn't acted on any"

"So, you're going to help us with this?" Eleven asked.

"Yeah," Kakashi replied. "Aiden seems to really want to save this Billy guy.. not just for Billy's own safety but for her" He pointed towards Max.

"He does love you a lot," Kakashi said. Max looked at Aiden and smiled.

"You didn't have to add that part, Sensei" Aiden's face started to get red.

"I guess it's settled then" Nancy said. "Come on, I think we found something"

The group got out of Nancy's car, they'd stopped to pick up Barb as she'd be as useful as Will in understanding what they'd most likely encounter. They were currently going into Heather's house the same way El,Max, Mel and Aiden had done before.
