Haruka's Pov

I was really worried about Hitomi. She had everything she had destroyed 3 times, this was the fourth time. My eyebrows knit together. She was a strong girl, but...What if this was too much to bear? I mean, usually people would start going emo the first time such a bad thing happened to them, but Hitomi had survived 2. Was three going to be the limit?

I was inturrupted from my thoughts when I realised it was my turn.

I walked into the arena coolly, my eyes looking bored. I looked at my opponent, Kabuto. (A/N: I KNOW HE CANCELED, BUT HE DIDN'T IN THIS STORY.)

He smirked at me and I turned my Hitamigan on. This fight should be easy enough. You see, my Hitamigan has the power to bring whoever looks into them skull shattering pain, but it doesn't actually harm them. The pain was real, but it wasn't doing any damage to you, even if the aches last months. My Hitamigan can also show me pieces of the future, though, that rarely happened.

"You may begin."

Kabuto looked up at me, which was a mistake in his part. Once his gae rested on my eyes, he was done for.

"ARGH!" he yelled falling to the floor. He started shaking, groaning, and screaming on the ground. This was fun.

The audience looked at Kabuto in confusion.

He kept screaming and squirming. Might as well not prolong the battle.

"Sun Sword." I spoke and in my hand, light gathered into the shape of a fiery sword.

I swung it down on his pathetic figure, but was stopped by several jonin. "That would be enough." They said. 

I just shrugged. This was way too easy, they better pair me up with someone better in the exam finals. I turned briskly, my kimono trailing behind me. I felt all eyes on me as I left.

Blind.

I let the word sink in. I was blind.I couldn't believe it. I knew it was going to happen eventually, but...I guess I thought it wouldn't, at least, I hoped it wouldn't.

I sighed. Why did it have to happen so soon? How long has this curse been waiting to attack me? When did all the hope disappear? 

Then it hit me. Ever since I was 6. Ever since I got kidnapped. It was already over. I had lost the game that was life. Soon this curse would take over all of me, completely shutting down my chakra system, causing my death. Now it was only a matter of waiting for the end to come.

I hit the back of my head against the wall. Why did I try to start over? I should have seen it coming. I was practically dead the moment I was dead. I never stood a chance n the first place. This wasn't even a game anymore! I lost the moment I started. I lost the moment I was born. I died the moment I was born. No amount of fighting would help. 

My hands started to tremble again. Why did it take me this long to notice, that I had no future.

I opened my eyes, but their was no difference in my sight. Everything was dark. 

I heard footsteps, my hearing had increased, I smelled flowers, my nose had become more sensitive too. I wonder. I brushed my hand against the hospital blankets. I felt every thread and knot. My touch has become more sensitive too. Maybe if I trained more like this, I could still be a ninja. Might as well do what I want since I was going to die anyway. MIGHT AS WELL NOT BE DEPRESSED EITHER!
