It itches.
Like a hundred fleas and ticks have feasted on my hands.

The blood.
It itches.
I scrub and scrub but it's still there. Beneath my skin.
Itching.
Itching.
Itching.

My pale flesh is scrubbed raw, marked deep red.
The blood is still there; crimson still bright like it's been freshly split.
It itches.

I curse and scream at the mirror, even though the eyes are mine and not his.
I'm tired of it. I just want to sleep.
"Damn you, Kage! Stop putting your blood on my hands!"

I blame the blood.
It itches. Just beneath my skin.
