“Hachi!” Maki said hugging me.
“You scare Maki like that again and I’m going to beat you up,” Kai smirked.
“I’d like to sssee you try,” I answered.
All I could do was smile at Maki and Kai. It was so nice to be whole. As I drew in a breathe I felt something run down my lips. My finger went to it…..blood……
“Hachi……” Maki said letting go of my waist, “Hachi you’re bleeding!”
My hand went to my side and ran along a slash Dark had left. Blood was running out of it at a fast rate. I pressed hard on the bleeding against the screams from my nerves.
“Jussst a ssscratch,” I smirked, “But can you fix thisss before I bleed to death?”
“Of course!” Maki said.
I sat down, and Maki slid off my shirt. That was one big scratch. It started at my right shoulder and slid down to meet my waist. I sighed looking at it. Maki started to gather the chakra she would need to heal such a big scratch.
“Stop!” a voice ordered.
My eyes went up instantly. That voice………was Yuri’s……As I looked at Yuri I knew in an instant. My nerves were set on edge by the chakra radiating. With the lack of chakra I had then, the dense chakra filled me with a sense of suffocation, but I would not break the eye contact. Yurikami stared back at me eyes full of orange hate…..
“Yuri!” Maki said. She hadn’t realized what I had realized. “Yuri you nearly gave me a heat attack…….what’s wrong?”
“Go away Maki,” Yurikami ordered, “Now.”
Yurikami’s eyes met Maki’s. Maki grew pale. The healing jutsu had started, but the fear mixed with Maki’s chakra and ran through my system screaming. I pushed Maki’s hand away and stood up. My body was heavy.
“Yurikami,” I said flatly, “You’re memories have returned…..”
“Yuri………” Maki said, “Yuri! You’re back!”
Maki stood and went to hug Yuri. Yuri moved away seeming to flow away as if she was water. My eyes followed, but I could barely stand as it was.
“Maki leave,” Yuri ordered again, “Take Kai and leave now.”
“Yuri!” Kai said in protest, “Yuri what’s wrong?”
“Leave,” Yurikami ordered, “Now……..”
“Kai don’t worry,” I smiled trying to act normal, “I have to have a talk with Yuri. Take Maki and go home ok? I’ll be there in a bit.”
“Hachi are you sure?” Kai asked.
Maki had gone white as a sheet and had sat back down on the ground.
“Don’t worry,” I answered, “I just have to talk for a bit. Take Maki and go home k?”
“Ok………..” Kai said grabbing Maki by the arm and leading her away. He did a quick transportation jutsu and was gone in an instant. As soon as he was gone, my eyes turned back to Yuri.
“Hachimata how dare you,” were the first words…….”How dare you save me and force me to forget! I hate you!”
“Yurikami………you ssssaved Maki and did not expect to be sssaved?” I asked coolly.
“It was my choice! Do you have any idea what I had to suffer being in a body and watching everything crumble! I couldn’t do anything! I was so alone! I hate you!”
“I believe we have already establissshed that you desssspissse me, and yesss I do know what that issss like. I had to deal with Dark for a bit.”
“That is not the point you twisted snake freak! I told you I would rather die that lose my memories! I wanted to die! I hated…………”
“Yesss I underssstand that you hate me. Get over it. I could care lessss if you hated me. I am Hachimata after all the dessspissed sssnake boy with a cup cake faddish. You are not the only one that hatesss me. Get in line if you want to join that club.”
“You robbed me!” Yuri yelled, “You robbed me of everything I held dear!”
“I have not robbed you of anything……you are sssstanding here now assssss you were before.”
“You made me suffer! Do you hear me!”
“I’m ssssorry……”
Yuri’s hand went to my face and my head turned as the sound of a smack hit the air. It stung for a second and then the pain was gone. I looked at Yuri blankly.
“How! HOW CAN YOU GIVE ME THAT LOOK WHEN YOU DID THIS TO ME! HOW CAN YOU? ARE YOU THAT COLD!” Yurikami yelled.
“Yesssss yessss I am……….” I answered.
“You robbed me of my relationship with Shukaku! Do you even care? You should know how much relationships mean! You love Maki!”
“And you love Shukaku.” I said.
“Yes I do!” Yuri answered.
“And yet you were willing to give end your life…………What in the world were you thinking! Do you know what your death would have done to him! If I didn’t save you Shukaku would have killed me.”
“Shukaku…….” Yuri said quietly.
“He would have gone into a depression far beyond what I could imagine,” I said flatly.
“Stop it!” Yuri yelled. Her hand hit my face again, but this time it was a punch. I was forced backwards but managed to catch myself.
“You were being sselfisssh!” I yelled, “Giving up your life you think that issss noble don’t you? No you were being ssselfisssh!”
“No I wasn’t!” Yurikami yelled, “I did it for Maki!”
“Out of your own regretssssss,” I finished.
“Stop! Stop! Stop saying that!” Yuri screamed.
“You were willing to give up being in a relationssship ssso you could get the eassssy way out and call it noble!” I hissed.
“You bastard!” Yuri raged, “I was not!”
“You thought everything would be fine if you died……..but Shukaku would have been….”
“Shut up!” Yuri yelled.
This time Yuri make a punch towards me. I dodged it, but was kicked in the back. I could not keep up in the state I was it. Yuri tore at me with kunai and the like. All I could do was try to dodge at this point. My chakra levels were near complete depletion.
“You wanted to hurt Shukaku didn’t you?” I taunted.
“SHUT UP!” Yuri yelled. This time she drew a katana. I smirked.
“The one that nearly killed me from before,” I nearly laughed, “Come to end my life hassss it?”
I released Ryusemi and a clang erupted as our swords met. Blood streamed along my side from Dark’s wound. All I wanted to do was lay down.
“I hate you!” Yurikami smirked, “But I promised Kai a long time ago I wouldn’t hurt anyone…..Guess I’ll have to break that promise…..”
“Try I dare you,” I hissed.
Minutes passed, and each attack brought me closer to exhaustion. Finally with a slash or her katana, Yuri forced Ryusemi from my hand. I fell backwards my blood staining the grass. Yurikami put the katana to my neck……….
“Kill me then,” I glared at her……
___________________________________________
Yuri please continue..........
I seemed to get away from everyone so I stopped running. I meet Kyuubi, Yoko-san's brother. Everyone kept saying his name to me, now I've meet him. My head was still pounding. My black neko ears were on my head. I ust stood there, doing nothing, saying nothing. My pupils of my eyes weren't there to be found. I was inside of my head... with someone.
[Inside head]
"So we finally meet."someone said to me. I was sitting on the floor, looking as I did before I entered my thoughts. I looked up, looking at the person who spoke to me. It was... was... Me. Well, not exactly me. My... I mean her hair was orange, silver, ad black and it flowed down to her butt, it seems like this Yurikami was still growing while I got out in the real world. She wore a black leather mini skirt, heeled boots, earrings with a matching necklace, a black belly-showing V-neck top, and long black gloves. I had to admitted I liked her... I mean MY style. I stood up and faced her. er expression was blank. I finally spoke to her. "You're me, aren't you?" I asked her.
"No. I am not you. For you are me. I was the orginal Yurikami. You took my life from me. she replied.
"Oh. I see. So I'm Yurikami and you're Yurikami?" I asked.
"No. Correction. I'm Yurikami. You are just Yuri. I have the right to have my full name, you don't." she answered with a blank tone. I just stood there, in shock. Why would I...I mean she say something like that? Aren't we the same?
"Wait, but arent we the same?"
"No. We are not. You are bubbley and fun to be around, from what I'm seeing. But I...I am more... troublsome to be around.", she told me with a depressed face. I could tell that she caused people pain from my vision and her face. I reached out my hand to comfort her but she slapped it away. "Och, nya!" I yelp. Now her expression was a angry one.
"Stole everything from me! I watched you as you did it! You stole my friends! My family! And my lover... I... I don't think he would accept the old Yurikami after meeting you..." she turned away from me in tears.
"Woah! Woah! Woah! Hold the phone!" I rose my voice at her, "From MY understanding you hurted your friends, I never took your family's ove away, and what lover? You mean Ichibi-san? I never stole him! I... I just uh... had very nice conversations with him." I blushed. She didn't care what I had to say. She turned around and clentched my neck with great speed and started to choke me. I looked her into her teary, painful eyes as I gasped for air.
" I don't care what you have to say, Because I'm takening my life back." she barked at me. She smiled evilly as tears ran down her face. I dont believe I've seen such a scary and crazy look.
Even though I messed everything up, I was going to fix it. I was going to fix everything before I died... but they reversed the Jutsu! They had to make me lost my memories and bring you into the world! They remade me. Renewed me. Reborned me! Why? I asked them politely! I... didn't want to... to... LOSE IT ALL!" Now she was choking me with 2 hands. I couldn't breathe. I tried to speak but couldn't. "ah... sor... please... ah.." is what came out my mouth. My neko ears held down like a sad neko. "Wa.... wait... i ah...nya... i..."
"SHUT UP! I HATE YOU! ANTA NO KOTO DAIKIRAI! YOU HEAR ME??!?!? DAIKIRAI! DAIKIARI! DAIKIRAI!!!! she screamed.
"STOOOOOOP!" I managed to yell out. I punched her dead in her face dent her flying a few meters. I dropped on the floor, eyes closed, gasping for air and holding my neck. She's ...so ....powerful.... I thought. By the time I opened back my eyes, she stood infront of me and I panicked. I tried to moving but it was too late. She grabbed my face and lifted my up from the ground. I screamed out of pain. A bright shining light came out of her hands and everything wnet blanck for a second. When everthing cameback into sight, I found my self locked up in a cage. I realize I was sill in my mind but... Yurikami wasn't. She was no where in sight. I heared evil laughter that sounded like her... well me.
"Mwhahahahhaa! Now your the one in the cage! Enjoy it there because I'm living my own life again!! she laughed. I gasped and tried to break out the cage but it was no use. I was trapped. Trapped forever...
Yurikami
Yes... I'm finally free! The side effect of Yuri remembering things took place and now... I'm back and stronger than ever. I looked around to see me standing on the streets. I went to a near by glass to see my reflection. Yes. My eyes were orange and silver again. But wait, my hair... why is it black? That baka Yuri. I guess it will have to do. I wasn't worried about that. I wanted revenge. Revenge on the person who I told to just let me die but chose to erase my memories. Yes. Sweet revenge! I want to see his blood everywhere! I just cant wait! I tracked down his chakra flow just to find him and settle this. I was tracking down the one and only Hachimata, the 8 head and tailed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gomen I haven't been posting up. I had a writers' block! Well so Yuri is gone (for now) and Yurikami is bac and want revenge. She different though. She's more bad and stronger than ever. She's too caught up in her blood thirsty mode. This is the side effect. But don't worry! Yuri will show up now and then! Yurikami is like Yuri's dark side lol.
~Asura
Aw man! Where did my pack go? It was our hunting hour. While I went to find my pack, I stumbled to the Chikumo clan. They and my pack were one of the most feared clans ever in history. The Chikmos summoned spiders to kill me. But in rage, I killed half of them all with weapons, arrows, and magic. I was about to kill the other half when I heard someone coming. I hid in the shadows. That's when I saw HIM. Pale skin, black hair with red streaks, ice blue eyes. To me as what the humans gave Jess a nickname, the man was a demonic angel.
"Who's there?" The boy asked. Still having my bow ready for prey, I stepped forward.
"My name is Asura. The Alphamale in the Azuki pack." I said. The alphamale is another term for leader of a wolf pack. But since I'm a female, it's kind of weird saying that.
"Likewise. The name's Taro..." Taro said. What a very cool name.
"Let me guess, you're going to kill me now. I mean I wiped out half of the clan here." I said. Taro smiled.
"It's fine. I love eating blood. So I don't mind it at all." Taro explained. I'm beggining to like him more and more.
~Jess
By the time Deiara came back, I was hiding underneath the ground.
"What are you doing down there un."
"Hiding from the fanboys. I grew so much that my clothes teared apart. If any boy dares touches my boobs, I'll kill them..." I muttered. Deiara got me some clothes that are streachable. I put them on, then carried Deiara to the Leaf Village center. I was invisable, so nobody noticed me stomping by.
"Got any ideas?" I asked. My stomach was hungry again. UGGGGGGGHHHHHH!
"Nope, you?"
"Nope. I'm bored...Let's do something. C'mon! If we do anything wrong, we can blame Micheal Jackson or Kyuubi." I suggested.
"Good point un. It was their fault anyway." Deiara said.
I have writer's block!-_-'
~Jess
Deiara-
I needed time to think this over, so I left Jess alone. It probably wasn't my best idea, but I felt like bashing my head in with a rock. I am an actual emo, but I'm really developing more of a really awful temper cuz of that kitsune... I need some chocolate... NO! NO! Get back on topic!
Okay, I needed to find a way to calm myself down, especially with all this crap going on. Normally some training will work, but today was not the best day. If I started to train, I could kill someone. What does that kitsune do to calm down? The only time I've seen him calm is when he's around Suki or his sister, he's singing, or playing a blade of grass.
I didn't understand love because of my past. Mom took my brother and left me and my dad to die. Her clan hated Uchihas, which must have effected my fate too. I was born with the bloodline of an Uchiha, but my brother was born later on and had her bloodline trait. They could predict the future and couldn't get out any quicker. That night, my dad was killed and my black eyes turned a cold ocean blue. Love eventually will fade over time. No amount of this so called "love" can make it last because it will never change the inevitable...
I snapped out of my past thought and moved on. I like music, but I can't say I play a blade of grass. I can't really sing good was my thought, but I really didn't have a choice in the matter. It was either get calm or walk around acting like a bitch all day. I started to walk around to find a secluded place. I really don't want anyone to hear me.
I found a secluded place in the forest. There was a cave and a lake. I sighed and sat down at the mouth. I didn't think I even knew myself anymore. I looked in the water.
Deiara: Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I hit the water and turned to face the cave, but there were crystals inside that stared back at me.
Deiara: I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Well, at least that's what I hope
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I felt a lot calmer. I stood up and looked back to the town. "Well, time to head back un."
Taro-
It took some time but I did manage to search the ruins of the destroyed town. Arrows, swords, and our clan's weapons were on houses and on the ground. Potions, elixers, antidotes, and poisons... Precious work that was spilled all over. Temu, one of my summoning spiders crawled up to me. "What happened here Temu?"
"You won't believe this, but it was a female demon that caused this."
"Hmm... A girl you say caused this damage?" I questioned.
"Yes. Why?"
"I love all the destruction that was caused here. I see all the blood out of the clan members that tried fighting back. Pure beauty."
"How can you say that?! That demon killed half of the clan!"
"It doesn't matter to me. Killing is killing and blood is blood. In fact, I'm hungry..."
I looked around and saw one of my clan members that was still alive. Blood was still flowing and I wanted something to eat. She looked at me and got up quickly. "Taro! Thank goodness you're here there-"
I stabbed her with a plain kunai dagger. She was dying anyway, it didn't matter anyway. My fangs peirced into her neck. She wouldn't need any more delicious blood. Where she was going, it'd be a waste to pass up a meal.
I took the kunai out and kicked the body away when I was done. "I wonder if there's anymore blood around? Better hurry too before it dries up," I said, licking the kunai.
D. Kyuubi-
Dark Shukaku spat out nonsence to me. He thought he was going to drag out Nekomata's darkside? That was fine with me. He didn't know like I did that Nekomata was her darkside. Since she was fully dark, she was her darkside. Remove that part of her and she's dead all together. That was fine with me though and I wasn't about to tell Dark Shukaku the Nibi was her own darkside.
But this wasn't just a one on one fight anymore. That brat Kyuubi found was involved as well. "You two are real nusences," I said.
"Nusence, feh, you should see yourself. You never want to quit."
"Once you are finished off, I'll take care of the others."
"Who are you kidding? You want me out of the way. Once I'm out of the way, you can finish Kyuubi off and you know I will be the only one to do that," I responded at Dark Shukaku, "I'll be victor though."
"Shut up and let's get to fighting kurai."
Kyuubi-
It seemed Hachi was able to take Dark down. Dark Shukaku may have told me to watch Neka, but I need to get rid of D. once and for all. To do that though, I'd need that thing from Akatsuki though...
After searching for a decent resteraunt, Deiara and I were eating those apple fries you get in Burger King as we headed down to Tsunade's office. If anyone knew about DNA and/or Orochimaru, it would be her. I waited outside, too afraid of what might happen inside the building.
First Tsunade checked Deiara for any side effects. Once that was over, she called me in. I opened up the 5th Hokage's windows to let her get a look at me. By now, I was 15 feet, 20 tons...damn. Do you wanna know why I raided every stinkin' diner in town!?! It was all because of the discrimination. I hate discrimination! All of the managers were too prejuduce. They didn't serve half-demons OR jinchuriki at all. So, I ate them out of their own business. What was worse was that even now, I'm still hungry!
"Uh-huh. Well, the medical ninjas and I will find a cure. Until then, TRY to stay low and trouble free." Tsunade replied. Deiara and I were all on our own. My stomach growled again.
"This might be a problem un." Deiara sighed.
"You have no idea..." I answered. Then I opened my mouth, showing that I really needed food now! I stomped my foot real hard. It caused a minor earthquake, making everyone ran out of their homes quickly.
"Fine, fine, Naara would get you some food and worthy entertainment un..."
"WHAT!?!"
"You heard me, Naa. GET GOING!" Deiara yelled. Naara ran.
"What's wrong?" I asked, shewing on some vanilla wafers.
"I'm turing into that emo pretending jerk! I'm getting a little upset, that's all un." Deiara tried to calm down, "And what IF the DNA was contagious? Then ninjas that were roleplaying as the demons are going to be turned into the demons."
"You do have a point there..." I agreed. But we can't just avoid everything all together.
"I'll take a walk. You can jus lay down there un." Then Deiara left alone to walk out her problems. Laying down, I searched for food nearby.
Deiara continue this....
