Sarada Pov:
It was two minutes. Why does Raijin care so much?
Like, get over it.
It was barely two minutes.
So why the hell is he sulking like someone just killed his cat.
Only the gods know.
He stares into the distance and in his eyes I can literally see the pain.
"Hey look, I'm sorry okay. My dress was practically glued to my skin." I try to comfort him. His hands shake.
"Raijin?" I sit down next to him and pull his hands into mine.
"Help me! Please help!" Screams erupt all around but I have to go.
"Run!"
"Please end my suffering." A broken voice cries.
"Penn, where are you?" Somebody yells. I can hear everything but it all feels out of place. Like a puzzle but the pieces are mixed with other things or just simply gone.
Everything is so disorienting. I just want everyone to shut up.
Everywhere there's pain and hurt. Fires erupt from the compound.
Someone grabs my arm and spins me around to face them, "you have to run. Don't stop running, just go. NOW!"
A silhouette rises from the crumbling building.
"GET BACK HERE LITTLE BEAST!"
My fear shoots me forward and away from the carnage.
I rip my hands out of his and slap him in the face.
His eyes immediately train on mine and every cell in my body freezes. It's scary.
"What ever you saw. You didn't see y'know." He whispers in my ear.
I nod back and pinch myself so I know this is real.
It's real that he's been hurt and he won't tell anyone.
"You okay girl?" Cho Cho asks concernedly.
"I'm fine." I am not fine. Not after seeing that. Feeling the pain and misery rolling around. It makes my insides roll.
Oh gods. That's what Raijin lived through.
"Let's get going y'know. We don't want to miss our chance." He grins.
Jeez, his mood changes fast.
"I know a way out of the castle." He says taking charge of our adventure.
"How do you? You've been here what? Collectively twelve hours?" Inojin smirks.
"That sounds about right." Raijin puts his hands in his pockets. "I went exploring last night, shall we say."
"Where did you go?" I ask.
"Around y'know?"
"That sounds interesting." Mitsuki tilts his head.
"Nah, it was pretty boring y'know?"
"I do not." Mitsuki answers evenly.
"The most exciting thing happened when I ran into Konohamaru. He isn't bad at fighting." He admits grudgingly.
