[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
pain shooting through Tsuki’s arm was slowly stopping. From nowhere, she felt a strength or maybe an energy that she never felt before. She somehow managed to push Mizuki off of her and slammed him against the wall behind her.
In her head she heard signs being called out. It took a while before she realized her hands were moving too. She recognized these signs, Kiba practiced them with Akamaru, they were chakra signs. She couldn’t control her hands. When they finally stopped, the energy she felt in her before had left her.
She looked over to Ayazumi and Mizuki, a bright light blue light surrounded them. It started to get smaller as if it were being absorbed into their bodies.
Ayazumi started screaming in pain and Mizuki’s eyes went wide. Ayazumi passed out and Mizuki was barely moving.

*Did I do this?* she asked herself in fear.

“How…how did you do that, where did you learn it?” Mizuki demanded, lifting his head up so he could look at her.

“I-I don’t know… I just happened.” Tsukiko said shaking, staring at her hands.

She turned to run out, she didn’t know where, just anywhere to get away, to think.
Before she left she heard Mizuki’s voice “Keke…Genkai..”
She looked over her shoulder to look at him but he passed out.


______Ayazumi______

“Lets go check on Kiko, she’s being way too quiet.” Ayazumi said walking toward the narrow hallway.

“Sure thing.” Mizuki chuckled.

Ayazumi and Mizuki walked down the hall, Ayazumi finished the 3rd bottle of sake and placed it on the ground outside of the door. Then they barged through the door into Tsukiko’s room.
The first thing that Ayazumi saw was the money, lots and lots of money.

“Mizuki, grab her.” she ordered to her boyfriend.

Ayazumi smirked as she kneeled down, but as she reached for the money, she saw a picture.
She turned it over and looked at it, noticing the people in the picture.

*Mom! Dad! She doesn’t need this. She didn’t even know them, this picture is of no importance to her… besides, she got enough from them before they died, more than I could ever dream of.*

She quickly tore the picture to shreds. Billions of little pieces of paper falling to the ground like the rain in a hurricane.

*I hated you then, I still hate you now. Your faces make me sick!* she thought in her mind. Fury, anger, hatred all filling her body at once.

Her body felt heavy and she fell to the ground. She couldn’t move she could only stare up at the ceiling and listen to what was going on around her. She then realized there was a faint light emanating off of her body. The light started getting lighter but she felt it entering into her body, the more into her it got, the more pressure she would feel. Her body felt as if it were slowly being crushed.

*What is this light..? * she thought to herself, her energy fading, her breathing slowing down. It was as if her whole body were shutting down.

She fought it and with what energy she had left she yelled “Ow! Stop it!
The pain in her body growing more severe.

The strange light was almost full absorbed into her body, the pain began to increase rapidly. At this point she couldn’t even blink. Ayazumi’s body couldn’t take it anymore, and everything went black.

___________Tsukiko___________

Tsukiko ran as fast as she could down the dirt road path. She was so scared, she didn’t even know what direction she was going in. The only thing she could think about was her sister.

*Is she okay? Did I kill her? What about Mizuki?* she thought, the only thing echoing through her head repeatedly.

She finally realized which direction she was running in. She was running toward the park, where she always went to think, where she always went when she had a problem, the only place she felt safe, the place she went when she needed to get away, the place where she met Kiba.

*That’s right!* she thought *Kiba! No I cant get him involved with this. It isn’t his problem I need to think this out on my own.*

She kept running full pace down the path until she reached the park. She ran through the swings, past the slide and over to the tree. She clung to the tree for dear life as she sank down to the stump. She sat there with her knees curled up to her chest looking at her hands.

*They’re okay.. They’re only passed out that’s all* she kept repeating to herself.

As she sat there thinking a kunai hit the tree a few inches above her head.

“Don’t worry Tsukiko, you wont have to remember this for long.” taunted a man.

His voice sent a shiver down her spine. Shed been through enough already, not to mention just a few seconds ago a kunai just barely missed her head by an inch.

Tsukiko spun around to see a man, around 20, his short silver hair held back by a bandana. His brown eyes were emotionless, just staring at her with hatred. His skin was not pale white like Ayazumi’s was but still pretty pale. In other words, Mizuki.

He walked toward her as she cowered in fear, too scared to move. He looked at her and smiled.

“You’re not even going to attempt an escape?” he looked at her , his face was like stone.

Tsukiko would have tried to escape but she was so scared and confused. She was smart enough to know she didn’t stand a chance escaping from a fully trained jonin.

“Don’t ignore me.” he said, jabbing a kunai into her side.

She curled up on the ground, squealing in pain.
She wanted to just get up and run, run for her life but she couldn’t. Now she wished she would have gone to Kiba for help or even the Hokage but she was too scared and now look at her.

He started kicking her on the ground. When he stabbed her, he hit a main vein and blood was pouring out like a river after a week of rain. How badly she wanted that strength back, the one from earlier. But it didn’t come.

Mizuki pushed the kunai back in the wound and twisted it. He then picked up his foot and stepped on the wound.
Tsukiko gasped for air. The pain in her side was becoming extremely painful and it was burning. To her it felt like someone was taking searing hot metal and pouring it into her side. It was getting harder for her to breathe and the blood was pouring out in bucketfuls now. Everything was starting to get fuzzy.

*I’m gonna die here. I guess it wouldn’t be too bad, It would be better for everyone, they could live the way they want to. Ayazumi can drink and shop all she wants and live happily with Mizuki.* her vision was fading, she could see only shadows now. *The people who work in the fields can have my part and earn extra money for their families. Kiba could spend more time training and wouldn’t have to worry about me. I think this is for the better.* Her thoughts were then interrupted.

“Aw I’m sorry, does that hurt?” he laughed menacingly.

Tsukiko closed her eyes to except her fate. She winced as Mizuki put more weight on the wound.

“Done already? Surely you cant be that weak” he commented coldly.

Tsukiko opened her eyes just in time to see shadows of ,what looked like, shuriken blast Mizuki into the Sakura tree.

“What is this about Mizuki?!” a voice declared in disbelief.

With what little energy Tsukiko had left she moved her eyes to the side to see who had saved her. To her surprise it was…
