(Tora POV)

Cold and damp as always I tried pushing away the thoughts about him. The man I hated but fell for in the end. I scoffed at the thought. I had hated how women threw themselves at his feet but in the end I had fallen for him too. His cocky attitude that used to make my blood boil made me smile and laugh in the end. His eyes were sometimes filled with a small spark of mischief that not many people saw. I smiled sadly to myself as I remembered all the reasons I had given myself to hate him but somehow had turned to reasons for me to love him more. I looked up at the stone ceiling that dripped, echoing through the cell. My smile vanished. I was alone. I would more than likely die here. I had been gone for a long time now. That snake was smart. He knew better than to leave any trace.

I slumped, lowering my head and my eyes filling with tears. I would never see that idiot again. I would never get to play with his crazy white hair that defied gravity. I would never see his face with that sly smirk and closed eye smile. I would never hear his playful mocking and laugh that could send shivers down my spine.

Tears came full in a rush I sobbed loudly. It hurt. I cried and cried. My heart broke. Then a ghost of a memory whispered through my mind.   


There will be a day that everything will seen lost.

I need you to keep hope.

It will be hard and you may be scared,

But you can be brave.

Just remember you are Tora.

The brave tiger.

You are strong.

My baby girl.


My mother had told me when I was young. I don't remember much about my family. Not many people did actually they kept to themselves which is one of the reasons that when they died I was on my own. However that speech my mother gave me stayed with me through the years. I never knew what it meant but I think now is what she was talking about.

I smiled slightly and shook my head. I'll never know how she knew this would happen but she was right. She was always right. It was time fore me to be strong. I had to hold out hope. I wouldn't give in. I was Tora! The brave tiger of The Hidden Leaf! I wouldn't brake like this. It may be dark but if I bowed my head, how would that change anything. Words echoed through my head and in the silence of my cell I started to sing.

(Song🔝)


No time for rest
No pillow for my head
No where to run from this
No way to forget

Around the shadows creep
Like friends they cover me
Just wanna lay me down                                                                            And finally try to get some sleep

We carry on through the storm
Tired soldiers in this war
Remember what we're fighting for

Meet me on the battlefield
Even on the darkest night
I will be your sword and shield                                                                Your camouflage                                                                                          And you will be mine

Echoes of the shots ring out
We may be the first to fall
Everything could stay the same                                                                   Or we could change it all

Meet me on the battlefield                        

We're standing face to face                                                                        With our own human race
We commit the sins again                                                                            And our sons and daughters pray

Our tainted history
Is playing on repeat
But we could change it                                                                                    If we stand up strong and take the lead

When I was younger, I was named
A generation unafraid                                                                                From heirs to come

Be brave                                                                                                              

And meet me on the battlefield
Even on the darkest night
I will be your sword and shield                                                                 Your camouflage                                                                                          And you will be mine

Echoes of the shots ring out
We may be the first to fall
Everything could stay the same                                                                    Or we could change it all

Meet me on the battlefield

Meet me on the battlefield
Even on the darkest night
I will be your sword and shield                                                                  Your camouflage                                                                                           And you will be mine

Echoes of the shots ring out
We may be the first to fall
Everything could stay the same                                                                   Or we could change it all

Meet me on the battlefield

Meet me on the battlefield

(3rd POV)

The melody echoed through the halls of the base. It's haunting melody but message to carry on stayed true. Sadly no one could here the beautiful performance. The hideout had long been emptied by it's creator and stripped of all of it's "successful projects". All the others had died already except that one woman who sang to the empty prison. The souls that had died listened to her song and gave her the strength they had to live before passing. The put their faith in her.

The song ended and it was quiet again.
