Hatake

20

I don't feel well.

The things those two said to me before they died will be as permanent as the brand on my arm.

I don't want this.

A door opens at the edge of the arena.

I brush off the red ice crystals and enter the next room.

The floor, ceiling, and three walls are all concrete. The other is make up of thick glass.

It is there that I see a familiar face.
Hirama.

My blood pressure is rising just looking at his pathetic face.

"Welcome back Akari. Is that what you're calling yourself now?" He says

I snarl at him. My fists clenched and shaking with rage.

"I thought my little snare would've done it. Oh well..." he says now coming closer to me.

He stops just behind the glass as if he thinks I could still reach him from there.

"This one won't be as easy. You'll beg for me. You'll tell me you'd anything for me." He says licking his lips.

My chest is heaving up and down. I feel a drop of blood fall from my fist.

"Well let's not waste time then." He says snapping his fingers.

A door on the other side opens and two people drag in a body. I can tell it's a leaf villager. They have one of those green vests on.

They drag the person at the middle of the room at Hirama's feet.

Hirama looks at me and smiles then takes off the bag covering the person's face.

It's Kakashi.

All of the air leaves my lungs. My hands press onto the glass.

"Recognize him?" He says.

"You bastard!" I scream and pound the glass with my hand.

"You know it was a lot easier than I thought to find him. And it looks like I got the right one." He says smiling.

"Just fight me! Stop this!" I yell.

"Oh I don't think so..." he says.

He turns Kakashi's head to face upward. He looks like he's already been battered.

I shake my head.

I look around the room I'm in. It's empty and small. There's nothing here. From just looking the glass is at least fifty centimeters thick.

"No!" I say.

The door I came in is gone the wall is just smooth where it was.

"No!" I scream pounding on the glass.

"Look here Akari." Hirama says.

He is holding a large flaying knife.
My old knife.

"Stop! Kakashi!" I scream.

Then I watch as the knife disappears into Kakashi's chest.

I fall to the floor wailing.

Hirama shoves him down right in front of the glass.

I scream as I see the knife sticking out of his back. A pool of dark red forming quickly.

I cry so hard I throw up.

My heart feels like it's been ripped from my chest.

Hirama walks away and two people grab my arms pulling me away from the glass.

I hit them and fight to stay.

I cry out in agony when they catch me again force me to give up.

I'm screaming as loud as I can and kick my legs as hard as I can.

I just get dragged into another room this time there is no glass wall between me and Hirama.

I don't know what he thought I would do but I break free from my restraints and lunge for his throat.

I claw at him and cut him deeply on the chest but miss his neck.

He stumbles back and clutches his chest. Blood streaming through his fingers.

His blood on my hands just acts as water for my ice jutsu. I freeze it and create daggers that I thrust into the guards with ease.

Another man uses some kind of fire style jutsu at launches an attack at me. I block it with my arm and deflect it at the wall.

I grab Hirama and don't stop hitting him till there is barely anything left of him.

The room is now engulfed in flames.

I stumble into a hallway and cough from all the smoke.

I beat on a door but it barely budges.

I turn around now lost in the fire and unfamiliar building.

I feel a breeze sweep through.

I follow it to a small gap that I can stick my arm through.

All of the remaining strength I have I use to push a fallen beam out of the way.

After, I crawl out I collapse onto the grass.

A few seconds later my big block of frozen water melts and extinguishes most of the flames. Leaving a huge smoldering pile of rubble.

I decide it's probably not safe to stay by the rubble. So I push myself up.

I slowly limp away and start crying again.
