The Pain in my Flesh

[Inner Hachi]

Dark.....he had done this......tricked me and made a fool of me.......and killed me......I hated him.......I hated him far more than I hated anything else. He had cooed me and made me sleep.......he had suffocated me nearly end my life.......he smiled as I suffered......how were we the same? We were not. We were not the same person. And I would kill him........

Kyuubi had left, but I was fine for now. He had used something to where I could breathe again. Air tasted nice. But still I had no evergy. I wanted to fight him. I wanted to destroy the monster that had put everyone in danger. I hated him.

"Heh," I heard Dark laugh, "Sssshe was bound to go down eventually weak."

"Suki isss not weak!" I said quietly, "she hassss a lot more ssspirit than either of uss Dark."

"Heh that hurt a bit," Dark said taking my wrist, "Ssshe did ssssome damage but at leasssst I know I have full control of thissss body."

I felt myself cringe not enough for Dark to notice, but still.....When Kyuubi saved me.....I had to give up the rights to my body.....to keep Dark thinking that I was dead......I felt nothin, but Dark felt everything.

"I have to get up," I said. I struggled a bit, but it seemed that Dark had relaxed control on my energy thinking that I was dead. I sighed. There was only a trace of chakra left in me, but I started the jutsu..........

[To Kai]

Maki was riding on my back as I raced for Hachi's smell. It was really strong now, and then my eyes caught him. He was not Hachi. I nearly froze. Maki got off of my back and ran to him.

"Hachi!" she said hugging him, "Hachi.....what has happened? Why is there all this destruction? Hachi I'm so glad to see you. Why did you leave me? What happened to you? You look so different! Oh Hachi......"

"Ssssorry," Hcahi's voice said but it was dark and twisted, "Ssssorry but Hachimata is dead. And I am hissss killer."

Maki let go of Hachi and backed up.

"W-w-who are you?" she asked, "Hachi you said.....you killed him?"

"I am Dark," Hachi's voice answered, "And I wassss a part of him asss he fell in love with you.......I feel that sssame love, but I do not need a human companion quite the contrary I hate humansss for making Hachimata weak."

"Dark....." Maki said.

"If you want proof," Dark said pointing a finger, "Assssk your brother."

Maki's eyes trailed to a limp Aki. My heart stopped. Dark did that! I fet my teeth grow and growled.

"You are not my brother," I growled.

"No no I am not," Dark answered.

"Dark deal with Kai," Kyuubi said from the darkness.

I nearly jumped at seing him. He was twisted and as scarry as Dark.

"Asssss you wissssh," Dark said.

He suddenly began to attack me. I recoiled and began defending myself. I head Maki cry as well. I didn't want to fight Hachi.....but this was not Hachi.....and if his words were true then he killed Hachi my brother.....I would destroy him for that!
