Iris [Naruto Fanfiction]

Orochimaru

I wake up in a familiar place. It was my backyard back home.

"Why did you do this?!" a familiar voice yells. It was... my father. "Why?! You killed her! Our daughter, you killed her!"

"I had to!" a woman yells back. It's my mother. "This was the generation is would happen! She would come out to be witch! A witch! Her great grandmother was one and I couldn't have that in this family!"

My father was crying hysterically, shaking my mother. He couldn't understand why she did what she did.

My eyes goes to my older brother who's crouched over my body, trying to give me CPR. He's pressing against my chest and blowing air into my mouth, trying his best to resuscitate me. My other brother is pacing back and forth with his phone pressed against his ear.

"Please, we need an ambulance quickly," he says frantically into the phone. "My sister, she drowned in the pool, and she's- she's not responding. Please, please, get here quick."

"Iris, wake up," my other brother yells. He's still trying his best to bring me back to life, but it's too late. The image starts to disappear, and there's a new setting. This one being gloomy and filled with sadness.

The clouds are grey. I see my entire family and friends wearing black. Some are crying, and some just look empty. My mother was nowhere to be found.

I turn my head to see a shiny black casket with my corpse, dressed in black, inside of it. My hands hold a pink rose, and are crossed against my chest. I look peaceful.

I wake up to the sound of someone screaming. I'm still in the Forest of Death. Back to my new reality. Not only did I see my death, but also what happened after it. And now I know why. My mother killed me, her own daughter, because of what I was.

Tears begin to well up in my eyes. I just burst into tears in the middle of the forest. My own mother killed me because she thought I would become a witch. And she was right. I am one. And this new world will hate me just as much and try to kill me. I'm still in a world where I'm hated and feared.

I heard the screams again. It sounded like it was Sakura screaming for help. Now I remember, that snake lady was causing trouble with my team, and she threw me to the side as if I were a piece of garbage.

I try to push my recent dream, or nightmare, to the back of my head, and try to forget about it and focus on the present. I stand up and look up at the trees trying to find my team. My eye catches the sight of my blade that got stuck in a tree. I focus chakra into my feet so I could climb the tree to get my knife.

I put one foot onto the trunk, then the other, and fall onto my back. "Ouchies!" I yell in pain. You know what, I'll just improvise.

Getting back to my feet, I instead concentrate on using my telekinesis powers to bring me to the blade instead of using chakra. My body starts to levitate off of the ground, and soon I'm near the knife. I pull it out of the trunk, and the mark it left starts to produce smoke. I stare intently at the knife. Is it really that powerful?

Brushing it off, I continue my searching for my teammates. I see an orange blob on a nearby tree. It was Naruto's unconscious body being pinned against a tree with a kunai. I float my way over to him and place my knife back into its holder.

I wrapped one arm around Naruto's body and pulled the kunai out of the tree with my other. Naruto's full weight fell into my arms, making me nearly fall. I regain my balance in the air and float over towards the screams. It was Sakura holding an unconscious Sasuke in her arms. What the hell happened? I was asleep for like five minutes.
