Author's Note: Okay, I'm happy that I've actually gotten this out. It's been hard to write the last couple chapters of this story, since it's my most popular one, and the story I'm most proud of. I know you were probably expecting the beginning of an amazing rescue mission, but that's not what this chapter is. This chapter is not a filler, it is very important to the overall storyline, so please do not skip it. This chapter follows only a flashback. But, only the start of the chapter is italicized because it is the paragraph that connects the normal flashback to what I'm writing for the rest of the chapter. Please enjoy what I have written, and sorry if anything confuses you, and feel free to comment or ask questions about this chapter or the structure of how the last arc will be written. Ok! Now go read~~!
END OF NOTE
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was sorry I had ever closed them. I didn't have to ask what was going on. The cold, metal cage I was in made it perfectly clear. When I had passed out, Uragiri had taken over Suna, and imprisoned me. I sat in a jumbled heap, in a cold embrace of a cell corner. I was wearing only a white gown, tight to my skin, and barely offered any protection from my constant shivering. Handcuffs, rubbing my skin raw, were always causing me teeth-gritting pain. At that moment, I knew that I had lost.
And I stayed a loser... For fifteen years.
"Here's yer food, maggot!" The gruff voice of my guard rang throughout the stiff cell. He dropped the tray of lackluster nourishment violently to the ground. I slipped my aging hands through the bars, and quickly grabbed the food on my tray. I shakily stood up, and carried the food to my rough bed, where I set it down, and started to chew slowly on it. The guard smirked, and walked away. I closed my eyes, my appetite suddenly lost. I knew it was only a matter of time.
It was his last chance.
And he didn't care what he sacrificed to make it work.
Uragiri's third child was going to be born soon. His wife was weak. The guards had said it didn't look good for her. He would do exactly what he did for his last two children.
He'd take my power away, and lead me to the child, after it's birth. He'd make me check if the child synced, through a painful regimen of tests for both the child and I.
By synced, I mean he wanted me to see if the Shukaku could be sealed into the child. His first two children were no's. I hoped this child would be a no too.
Why does Uragiri want the Shukaku sealed into one of his children?
Because then he knows that that child is the reincarnation of Iris. Uragiri wants to create that child into a horrible monster, so that monster can chase me around, and give me hell until the kid dies.
Basically, he wants to give me an annoyance.
I wanted to cry, I wanted to laugh, I wanted to slit my throat.
I was an emotional mess, confused, and reluctant to do anything.
But Karura.... She loved her children, and Uragiri. Something I never accomplished.
Karura was a wonderful girl, and I usually had to tell the boys to stop looking at her whenever we were training. She was nice, and kind. Karura had been polite to even I. I felt horrible to hear she was weak. I knew that the evil Uragiri wanted only a killing machine, but the real Uragiri loved Karura, and only wanted the two of them to be happy.
It was a cruel fate that I had ultimately bestowed upon them. I turned to look at the bloodstained wall at my right, inside my cell. A tally for every year I'd been imprisoned. It was just a bit ago that I put the fifteenth bloody tally up on that wall. It had been fifteen years since I had sealed the Shukaku and been declared as a traitor of Suna. I remember the announcement.
"Rin Inari is a traitor of Suna." It was a stupid, unproven statement, but the people had to blame the incident on something, and the scapegoat I became. It was in the last couple of years that I had taught a young man, named Orochimaru, through telepathy. He had been my only way to find out what was happening outside this horrible cell. I grimaced thinking about it.
"Yo. Inari Bitch. The Kazekage demands your presence." The same gruff voice called for me. I stood up, and trembling, I walked out of the cell. He tightened my cuffs even more, and I winced, letting him push me forward.
I trudged forward, looking only at the ground. I furrowed my brow.
Uragiri's third child was about to be born.
This was a chance.
My last and only chance.
To escape.
I WILL ESCAPE THIS HELL!!
