A/N: In the other chapter I was introducing you into the story that’s why it was so long. So if you're reading this I'm so glad you're still reading, which means I'm not writing this just for myself >.<. I'll probably do a whole chapter focusing one particular persons POV at times…we'll see about that though. Anyway enjoy the chapter!
Maya P.O.V.
I woke up with the feeling like I was drugged before I went to sleep, and why does my head hurt do badly? It feels like a rock the size of my head was sitting on it all night, I rubbed my head trying to soothe the pain.
After a while the pain went down somewhat, I sat up and slowly opened my eyes adjusting to the light. I froze for a moment when I actually started to take in my environment. All the people, buildings, the market; I’m back home at the village?
There were no flames, no screams, and the smell of burnt wood and hair were replaced by soft scents of aloe and pine. Everyone was going about their day as if nothing had happened. Was it all a dream then? Maybe I got hit in the head and dreamt it all, and everyone was still here, then that means; Mother!
I got up to start walking home when a kid ran by me practically crashing into me but I whirled around and yelled, “Watch where you’re running!”, right on his tail was a rather large man chasing him, he looked like he was out of breath by the time he was near me slowing to a stop. When he stopped hands on his knees, trying to yell out “Someone stop that kid he got my wallet!” He yelled but no one did anything about it, his eyes scanned the area then met mine and he looked disgusted it didn’t seem like it was about the wallet, but something much deeper rooted that I’m clueless as to what.
I ignored it and continued walking, I felt as if all eyes were on me with every person I walked by. At first I wasn’t making eye contact until I heard the whispers, I stopped to look around and found that everyone was looking at me in disgust; I couldn’t really hear exactly what they were saying so I just continued walking but I picked up the pace. The closer I got to home the louder the whispers got, the only words that were audible were “Death” and “Disappointment”. As I got closer to my home the whispers began to fade, but their words echoed in my mind.
I saw my home in the distance, mother will know what’s going on she always knows what to do. I saw I was coming up to the house and hoped she was still there. Once I saw the house in the distance I ran for the home stretch, once there I quickly opened the door and walked in. I stood at the doorway and froze I became overwhelmed with this feeling of sadness and depression. I started walking in and looked around everything looked just as I left it, everything just felt…empty.
“Mother?” I asked to the empty room, I was walking toward my bedroom when I almost slipped on something. I looked down at the floor and looked under my shoe, I was staring at my shoe for well over about a minute before I realized it was blood, “What the fu-”. I looked around the apartment there weren’t a lot of rooms, I walked around slowly over to the kitchen thinking it would be a logical place to get a wound, I didn’t even reach it until I heard whimpering in my bedroom. I walked over to the door and had this feeling in my stomach it didn’t feel right that something was wrong. “Mother?” I asked the door before entering, not really expecting for her to answer but to more or less, know that I’m here.
I opened the door and found my mother kneeling next to my bed, she was in a red nightgown, hair wild her body was arched and your body language read severely depressed. Instinctively I wanted to go hug her and be near her tell her everything’s going to be all right; I thought I would never see her again. But I didn’t I just stood there, doing nothing, saying nothing.
I couldn’t see her face her arms were folding on the bed and she had her forehead to her forearm. I heard her talking it sounded like she was praying, and her body looked like she was dry heaving.
I heard her take a sharp breathe in "Why? What did I do to deserve this?" She said getting up slowly her head still facing down; I couldn’t see her face her hair was blocking everything. She turned to face me and her arms fell to her side and they were hanging limply.
"Why Maya?" I didn’t know what she was talking about. “Mother?” I took a step forward and she took a step back. I put my hand out instinctively to reach out but retracted it and brought it to my chest; I could feel the air around us get cold.
"Why couldn't you be like your sister and be normal?" I saw something falls to the ground it looked like tears, what is she talking about? She always told me I was perfect that I was special; I was always going to do great things. Were all of those things she said lies, but why? "Why did you have to be such a failure?" she said enunciating the last word.
I opened my mouth to speak but words failed me, what am I supposed to say? The only person, who had once had the utmost faith in me, is now saying what she wanted all along.
"Don’t! Don’t say a god damn word" I took a step back hurt, I wanted to run, but my legs wouldn’t move, I wanted to just go and run and be free of all of this start over. But my knees were locked, feet cemented; I couldn’t go anywhere, say anything.
Mother began to walk towards me, her body was shaking almost unnaturally, but she continued to walk. She looked deathly skinny, her skin paler than usual her hair looked greasy unwashed and it hung heavy in front of her face; with each step she took her arms swung lifeless dead weight, her shoulders hunched. She was taking shaky steps toward me, until she stopped a couple of feet away from my face.
She slowly lifted her head to finally reveal her face, her eyes were closed but I felt like she was looking at me through her eye lids. Her face was stained with tears and spots of blood and smudges. When I took a closer look parts of her face were distorted with burns that covered her cheek and neck.
"…Mother" I sighed she was hurt; I was about to leaned forward. I placed my hand on her cheek to wipe the stains of her face she looked at me with tears in her eyes, which I’ve never seen. When she spoke, I stopped, to listen she was shaking looking at me with her eyes wide.
"You left me behind Maya, after everything I’ve done for you; everything I sacrificed for you and you just left me here to die?"
"You told me to leave…” I was so getting frustrated I remember she told me to leave, but wait... If I left then that means this isn’t real, that means I left and she’s not really here. I removed my hand fast and just looked her, whoever she is because she isn’t my mother; she must’ve seen the realization on my face because she started laughing hysterically.
“Reveal yourself!” I stated shakily while walking back until my back hit the closed door. She was still laughing, she stopped to speak but when she spoke her voice had changed; it was slightly deeper not really that familiar.
"Is that any way to talk to your mother?" her eyes started changing they looked like they were turning red. I turned to open the door but she had grabbed my hand as it had touched the door knob and started crushing it against the door knob. I could hear bones cracking, fracturing, splinting.
"Going somewhere?" I turned and tried pry my hand away but all that did was make it more painful. "You were always weak Maya, you were a disappointment since the day you were born” she let go off my hand and I couldn’t move my fingers at all, I turned to take a kunai from my holster and turn it on her but as soon as it was in my hand it disappeared. I felt my chest get cold but I felt like something hot was pooling there, I look down and I couldn’t believe it; it happened so fast. She dug the knife deep into my chest, without any hesitation twisting it hearing my sternum grind against the metal of the kunai. I looked up from the kunai at her face she looked like she was smiling.
For some reason I wasn’t angry I put my hand over hers, and peeled the dagger out of my chest. Blood began to pour out of my wound. I fell to the ground not being able to hold my weight up any longer. I held the dagger loosely in hand.
"Why?" I asked. It was the only word I can manage with the amount of blood filling my mouth. I could taste it as it came up slowly from the back of my throat. The metallic smell present in the air as I tried to get myself to breathe deep. I felt as though my lungs were given in. She pulled me by my hair and ordered me to look her into her eyes.
"Heal yourself!" she stared intensely.
I lifted my hand and it hovered over my chest; I closed my eyes to focus my chakra into my wound. My hand felt warm and I can see a faint glow emanating from it, but there was no sign that my chakra was healing it, I didn't feel like it was doing anything at all.
'Please…work…just this one time!' I was screaming in my head.
"You can't?" She leaned down and grabbed me by my wrist painfully hard. She started twisting me wrist slowly.
"If you can't heal anything…" She began saying flexing her fingers around my wrist tightening it I was looking at her begging her no with my eyes.
"Then why do you need this?" With the swift movement, she had broken my wrist.
A gargled scream escaped my lips as blood was spewing from my mouth, I doubled over in pain. Streams of tears were falling out of my eyes by the time; where am I and how do I leave.
I looked in horror at my wrist the disfigurement was apparent. I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing the rest of the tears that were brimming in my eyes to fall.
I tried to take deep breaths; I did not want to panic. I knew that's probably what she wanted. She would enjoy watching me wallow in my pain as I beg for mercy. My breaths were labored, the room started spinning. No doubt because of the blood loss. I was only delayed the inevitable by trying not to panic.
I opened my eyes to look at my mother as she sat next to me smiling menacingly, "I should've killed you sooner."
I looked at her face; my vision was starting to go. Her face was changing her jaw was changing her eyes were round and red I've seen those red eyes before… but where? I closed my eyes as my vision went completely black. Who had I ever seen with red eyes? Flashes popped into my head of a forest of a man, before I could fully remember I lost consciousness.
____________
I sat sitting up and started looking around. I’m back at the village, but mother, I was just…
I touched my chest felt no blood and no wound of kunai, my wrist was fine as I twirled it around feeling that it was perfectly fine. 'Was it all a dream?'
I could see that my wrist was no longer broken and my breathing was perfectly fine.
I heard something coming and when I looked up it was a kid running, with a rather large man chasing him, he looked like he was out of breath by the time he was near me slowing to a stop. When he stopped hands on his knees, trying to yell out “Someone stop that kid he got my wallet!”
Then it hit me; I’m stuck in my worst nightmare.
Kiba P.O.V.
We were running for the better part of the day, I could see the village gates in the clearing. It looked like early afternoon just the time Shino said we'd arrive.
"Head straight for the hospital, I'll go to Tsunade and update her on everything." he sprinted off toward the Hokage tower.
"Akamaru head home let Hana know were here” Akamaru nodded and ran off toward home. In the matter of 30 seconds we all split up our separate ways.
When Hinata and I got to the hospital we busted through the door and briefly explained the situation to nurse at the front desk, she picked up the phone and called for a stretcher and a few people came out and immediately started examining her when I laid her on the stretcher, one nurse was hooking her up to some IV’s and they were calling out things I didn’t understand. The nurse at the front desk was asking for me to fill out some papers and answer some questions I didn’t know the answer to, I eventually got overwhelmed and ended up yelling at her saying “I found her like this, can you fix her or not?” and I threw the clipboard back on the desk. I was getting so frustrated all of these nurses asking so many questions, I don’t even know the girls name!
Hinata was trying to calm me down and assure the nurses that we gave them all the information we possibly could, obviously withholding certain information for the Hokage and if any other designated officials.
I looked up and saw Sakura walking into the room straight face and professional and taking the girls pulse and then listening to her lungs with a stethoscope. "How did she get this way?"
“We found her in the forest like this. She hasn’t been awake the whole time we’ve had her. She looked like she was being attacked when we found her.” “By who bandits?” she asked without looked up at me. My eyes turned to meet Hinata’s and then I said “She was with Itachi” As soon as ‘Itachi’ left my mouth Sakura automatically stiffened.
"That will be all; I'll send someone to your homes to report to you on her condition." Sakura said pushing her bed into the hallway until I couldn't see it anymore.
I looked over at Hinata, who looked worried. "She’ll be fine Hinata don’t worry." She just simply nodded.
We left the hospital and started walking to Hinata's house in a semi awkward silence; like there was something that she wanted to say or ask me but wasn’t asking.
“What is it Hinata?” She looked at me and did a slight blush; I put my hands behind my head resting them there while I leaned my head back on them looking over at her. She looked down at the floor and opened her mouth to speak. “When… they come to update us on her condition would you like to join me and go to the hospital to see her?”
I looked at her and I just didn’t understand why; “Is there a particular reason why, you want to go see her?”
She looked over at me and said, “Imagine if you were her, attacked by someone who knows what would’ve happened if you hadn’t found her-” My heart dropped when she said that I couldn’t even imagine what he would’ve done to her; if it was anything of what it looked like it wouldn’t have ended well. “-Then next thing you know you’re in a hospital with no one you know around no family no friends. If she ends up staying here a while depending on what Tsunade wants to do about her, she’s going to need someone to trust, and since we brought her here I just thought…”
“I guess that makes sense Hinata but I don’t know we’ll have to see what Tsunade says.”
Walking her home went by rather fast, next thing I knew, and we were at her front gate.
"When they send word I'll meet you at the hospital okay?"
"Thank you Kiba" she smiled and bowed and left.
'I better get home before Hana yells at me' I started walking toward the house behind my head wondering how all this is going to turn out.
Sakura P.O.V.
I sat in my office on the window sill looking out into the sky looking at all the stars sparkling, with the moon at its peak; soon the sun will be coming out. Pulling all these all-nighters; it can take over your life before you know it weeks go by.
I spent most of my night with the woman Kiba and Hinata brought it. I healed all her cuts and bruises, but there is something strange about this girl's case. No matter how many times I heal her lungs her breath returns to shallow a rapid within not even an hour later. So I had to put her in an oxygen mask, just so it will continually give her stable even breaths. Her blood pressure was becoming erratic over the hours I had to give her some medication to bring it to normal even if it’s temporarily. But since there was no stability for so long her she ended seizing at one point to the point we almost lost her, and had to resuscitate her. I’m doing the best I can without knowing anything about her, and her past medical history.
I started getting so frustrated I always have one patient like this a day where you want to do more than everything you can to help, but you reach that point where you throw your hands up and say there’s nothing more that you can do. It’s worse when they have family and you have to tell their family that they are in a coma or worse. But this girl… she has no one, and how did she find herself with Itachi? Or was she working with him? I heard a brief knock which took me out of my thoughts I saw a nurse poke her head in.
"Sakura the Hokage is here to speak with you" I nodded and walked out and followed the nurse to where Tsunade was she was in the patient’s room checking her pulse looking at her watch. I called to her shortly after the girl was stabilized so she can come take a look. Once she came into my view I dismissed the nurse and walked up to her and we proceeded to tell about everything that happened since the girl came through the doors of the hospital.
"Minor injuries are healed, all vital organs are clear, except her lungs won't seem to heal fully, when I do they seem to just go into a panic and get worse; Which causes me to re-heal them. I’ve been going back and forth with this girl and her injuries all night." I told Tsunade exasperated, she was still assessing her vitals while glancing at the folder we made to keep notes on her medical proceedings so far.
"Shino came to me earlier when they arrived into the village on how they came about her; and who she was seen with prior to her losing consciousness." My heart raced for a beat or two not letting my face portray how I felt I just nodded; letting it be known that I’m aware also.
“I told Shino that this find is very important and vital especially considering now we know Itachi is close. He may continue on his way here or he may postpone whatever it is that he’s doing but whatever it is we need to be prepared. Especially considering those villages nearby are allies, I’ve sent a few people over to the villages near by where she was found to see if anyone has seen him.” I nodded, I turned and looked at her and just got lost in a daze, Tsunade just looked at my sullenly.
"Go home and get rest Sakura, you probably lost a lot of chakra healing her countless times. You’ve practically been here for days take a day to rest." She was right; I had been healing her for hours now. Even I know my limits so I did not refuse the offer of the well deserved rest.
"Thank you Tsunade." I bowed then took my leave.
I walked out of the hospital, I immediately noticed the change in scenery outside, and it didn't smell like surgical soap and gauzes everything. The scenery wasn't bland as it was inside.
The village was colorful for being night, the few street lights are giving the street a glow that looks like the ground underneath is illuminated and full of life and yet so stranded I could see the few people around doing last minute shopping, the kids begging their mothers for some candy before the go home to sleep. I started walking through the market district looking at all the little trinkets and food vender asking for my attention insisting that today’s sale is better than any other. I would just smile and keep walking.
I was about halfway home before I sensed something running behind me, I turned and saw the blond and immediately knew who it was before my name hit the air.
"Sakura-chan!!"
I smiled and waved him down until he was close enough to speak without yelling. Once he was close enough he threw his around me in a hug and said “Where are you walking too?" I returned the hug half heartedly, being tired from leaving work.
"What is it Naruto? I was on my way home"
"I went to the hospital to see if you wanted to have dinner with me but they said you left early. I was headed to your house to see if I can catch you before you got there. So…Do you?”
I hadn't really eaten all the much today and I needed to go grocery shopping anyway so.
“Sure I could use a bite to eat” There's no one waiting for me at home, sigh
“What do you want to eat?” He asked fidgeting with his foot. I look at him and smile and simply say “How about some Ramen” He lit up like a Christmas tree and practically pulled my arm out of its socket dragging toward his favorite stand. I was so shocked, I could help but yell.
“Naruto!”
Kiba P.O.V.
'Damn it's been almost the whole day, and no one has come to say if we can go visit the girl now. Hinata’s been worried, that’s all she talked about during training. I’m just trying to understand why this girl has a hold on her.’ Lying in my bed staring at my ceiling isn’t doing much but make my mind wander in a way that’s giving me a head ache.
"Kiba dinners ready!" Hana yelled to him from downstairs, or maybe I’m hungry I smile internally listening to my stomach growl as I smell the food as I’m walking down stairs toward the kitchen.
Once I was at table with the food in front of me I looked at the meat and stabbed it with a fork, and started biting off chunks. “Really Kiba you can’t use a knife?”
I just glare and look at her, “No I’ve always eaten this way I’m not changing it for no one” She just shook her head and gave me the speech of ‘how do you expect to find a nice girl with no manners, that’s why you always get the girls that only want one thing.’
I rolled my eyes and just ignored what she said; I don’t want dating advice from someone who doesn’t even have someone. The last few bites I took of my plate I made last until everything was just about gone, the last few bites my mind started to wander. Over to Hinata and over to her and I hadn’t realized I just stopped and stared at my plate, until Hana snapped me out of it. I looked at her startled when she snapped in my face, “Huh what’d you say?”
"Kiba I asked if something was wrong? You're acting really weird."
I don’t know if this is something I want to talk about to her. "It's just been a rough day I guess."
"Care to talk about it?" 'Why does she have to be so nosey?'
"Is it going to get you to leave me alone?" I leaned forward and put my elbows on the table to get comfortable. Pushing my plate aside and giving the bone to Akamaru, before I started telling the whole story. Obviously leaving out Itachi, sister or no sister that’s need to know information.
"We were on our mission and we heard screaming and when we started running toward whatever it was we saw this girl that was in danger-”
“What kind of danger?” She interrupted me to ask, she was always one for details.
“When I got there she was being strangled” Hana’s face turned serious her eyes seemed like she was unsure if she wanted me to proceed.
Instead of pushing the details on the attacker she asked “What did she look like when you found her?” I was glad at the subject change since I didn’t want to go into too much details that I’m not comfortable with.
I put my heads behind my head remembering what I saw when I entered the clearing “She was kind of short, well shorter than me anyway. Long black curly hair, her eyes were hazel color she was kind of pale but it could be because she was scared. I don’t know.” I started shaking my head of the image of her collapsing and her eyes flickering shut, it made my chest tighten like I somewhat felt like I was responsible, like if I gotten there in time she would be fine.
"Whatever it is Kiba, It’s not your fault." I looked at her shocked, “How did-”
She smiled in an almost empathetic way and said “It’s all over your face whatever happened when you found her, you did everything you could.”
“It’s not that” I took a deep breath “I honestly don’t know what it is, and Hinata is stressing over it which is making me stress over it and I don’t know, I just want her to wake up so that way she can talk to Tsunade go home and get this over with.” I got up suddenly pushing my chair out from underneath me with unnecessary force but I was just getting annoyed fast, if I thought thinking about it in my room gave me a headache saying out loud is giving me a migraine. “I’m going to bed”
"Why don't you just go to the hospital in the morning and see how she's doing?" I just huffed and walked up toward the bathroom to shower and go to bed.
It took me almost an hour shower of being in deep thought that I decided that Hana is right? Damn I hate when she’s right, I guess I’ll talk to Hinata in the morning about it.
Tsunade P.O.V.
It took a while but I finally got her lungs to work properly, I just hope I gave her enough medicine to get her out of the Genjutsu. It was a strong one too; I did everything I could now we just have to play the waiting game. I swiveled my chair over back to my desk once I heard footsteps.
"Tsunade?” I turned to see Shizune at the door bowing, “Yes?” I said looking down at a stack of papers acting like I was doing something prior to her arrival.
“We looked through her belongings and I think there’s something you need to see.” Now looking clearly at her face, it looks startled by something.
“Well… Where is it?” suddenly feeling impatient.
She walks in with a small scroll in hand and handles it with delicate care she places it on my desk and I looked at the symbol it was clan I was familiar with but it seems altered in some way. I realize this is the scroll is the retrieval team 8 was to bring back, but why does this girl have it?
"Call the hospital that as soon she wakes up she is not to leave or do anything until I get there for questioning." Shizune bowed and walked out leaving the scroll on the table.
I examine it for a few minutes trying to interpret what the symbol means it looks like something you would see in a history book when you’re in school.
Shizune walks back into the room confirmed she spoke with the nurses and there’s a security guard on staff in that wing to ensure she doesn’t leave her room.
"Is she allowed visitors while unconscious?" She asked plainly, I looked at her brow raised questioningly; she has no friends or family here. Who would want to see her?
"The Hyuuga Heiress is worried of the girl’s health, and wanted to know when she could receive visits."
"Yes she could now because she's stable.” I looked back down at the scroll and slowly started to pull it open but stopped.
“What is it supposed to contain inside?” She looked curious.
“It an ancient scroll from a clan of healers, it was told that long ago there would be a time that once you put their chakra into a certain part of an animal you can control them…But the power went to certain people of the clan to keep it contained but a few years later they were all executed for ‘abusing control’ they tried to control Shukaku.”
Shizune looks shocked and appalled, “They were executed before they got a chance too, the only thing left of there teachings are in this scroll”
I could feel Shizune’s eyes on it, interested. I rolled it out carefully trying to keep it in tact, once fully out we were both amazed, and dumbfounded.
It’s blank!
A/N: Don't mind it if I made grammar mistakes or spelling. Anyway I hoped you enjoyed it. If you did don't be afraid to rate and review. Next chapter should be up in like a few weeks or so. So be on the look out!! Hope you enjoyed it!
