"Forest of Bones, looks like this is Kimmimaros place" Nyx said as I threw my Shuriken at the base of one of the bone trees. The one that Kimmimaro was fused to, and hung dead in the air.
Nyx whistled.
"He was one for the go big or go home am I right?" She asked to nobody in particular as she laid a hand on one of the bones.
"Will you just help me break this thing?" I snapped slightly as I kicked the base of the bone, a hairline fracture forming at the bottom of it.
Nyx stared at me for a moment, and then walked over to help.
The bone fell down, shattering as it met with the earth and thus freeing Kimmimaro. I walked over to him and knelt beside him.
I knew we had to take him back to the sound, I knew we did. But for some reason, a little voice in my head didnt want to take him here, take him there so Orochimaru could experiment with his corpse when he wanted to. I slid his eyes closed, my hands trembling at the thought of disobeying the orders.
He was just a boy, a boy who was engaged to me. Just a title, thats all.
But why did he feel like more?
We were never close Physically, not really. Neither mentally. But somehow, something from me felt missing. Was it the fact that he had been there all this time and now he was gone? I should be used to that, evreybody leaves eventually. But his prescence in my life had been there. When he was there, I felt something. A longing maybe, for something that might- no- something that could never have been. Did he feel it too? Or was it just something that the mind of a girl makes up? He had looked after me. When I had broken a bone one day in a mission, he came by and helped nurse me. And when I could and when I was told to I visited him in the sound. It was for the Alliances sake of course, but it had been something. Hadn't it?
I felt confused for the first time in years. My head hurt, and my body ran cold. This feeling felt fimiliar, too familiar. I didn't like it, I had put feelings like these in the past.
And thats where I was going to put Kimimaro. In the past.
Nyx stood beside me, looking down at Kimimaros deformed body. There was a certain beauty to his Kekki Genkai; it was so rare and so very haunting.
Nyx put a hand on my shoulder, sensing my confusion. I wasnt sure how she knew, maybe because I was hesitating on picking his body up or staring too long at him.
"Don't worry. The person who did this will pay okay? His death wont be unavenged." She said, a hint of anger to her voice.
I swallowed and nodded. The feeling of confusion lessining slightly. Yes, getting the guy who killed him would somehow ease this feeling inside me. A feeling I was still not sure of.
We both grabbed one arm each and hoisted him up, his arms feeling even more weird around me now that they were cold then when they were warm.
