2. Who is that?


{Later that evening}

I was laying on my bed, yet again, glaring at the lamps on the roof. I could tell it was already late, not because it would be dark, I just felt like it. Plus, I had a clock in my room. (Smart*ss? You got me.) I turned from my back to face the wall again, now glaring at it. I noticed they got the blood spot cleaned, not too well though. I could still see the reddish tint on the grey. I smirked, slightly proud of myself for ruining the plane color, but then Tulis eyes occurred to me because of the new shade. Smirk died and I sighed. 'Man, must've been a really bad day, that was like a millionth sigh from me today!' I rolled my eyes and couldn't help but grin again - I sure thought about weird things at weird moments.

Once again my face returned to normal as I started to think about today. Nothing too good had happened, frankly this day would've s*cked so bad if Tuli hadn't showed up. After they got my hand fixed - it turned out to be broken as Tuli had doubted, but ANBU had excellent medical nins, and they got it healed pretty quickly - we returned here, and talked about anything, everything and nothing. Great subject since I wasn't too talkative a person. We were what felt like hours, talking, when they returned and got him back to his room.

I closed my eyes remembering those moments, pretending that he was still here, standing behind me. I was slowly falling asleep, and half unconscious rolled back to my back, where I immediately woke up again because of those damn lights. I let out a long list of cusses. They sure went too far with that darkness thing... It was only full moon when it totally woke up...

I glared at the lights again, then at the door, and turned back to the wall closing my eyes again. I started once again to wonder about the question which I'd been thinking about a lot lately. 'What am I?' All I knew was what the beloved Koeru had told me - "simply a monster", borrowing his own statement. He sure knew how to pick the right words. I was told that someone had fiddled with my DNA and mixed my genes with different animals. As result, they awoke new force inside of me, like there was a sealed monster. They told that it was like a homemade Bijuu, nearly as powerful as one. So, briefly and simply, I was a Jinchuuriki. To make it more complicated, I wasn't Jinchuuriki, I was the Bijuu myself, since it was partly made from my genes. Confusingly enough, I kinda understood the point.

But this monster didn't really have a mind of it's own, and it couldn't live without me. It was part of my body. Only few nights a month, under a full moon, it had the opportunity to wake and it could, I repeat, it could break free, but that didn't happen always. Also, if I was angry enough, and it was dark, its powers overwhelmed mine, letting it take the lead. ANBU discovered that it didn't prefer daytime or light in general, since it didn't arise if I was under bright daylight, no matter how pissed I was. Well, I was pretty powerful then, too. Once I flew into a real rage, and it took seven ANBU to calm me down, and five of them woke up from the hospital wing week later.

I snickered softly to myself. I couldn't really remember what happened then, it was all blur, but still I felt proud of my strength I had then. Slowly I felt my mind turning black, when sleep was taking it's space ignoring the bright lights. I fell asleep with the smile on my lips. And with that, the dream began.

An endless, dark aisle. There were doors alongside it, and a sudden shadow running past them. A young girl was running alone, and she was all sweaty and panting, like she had been running for a long time. She glanced occasionally the doors with worried look, then behind her back securing that no one was following. She wasn't more than ten, and despite the fact she had dark skin anyone could tell she hasn't seen daylight in a long time. Her short cut, dark hair was dirty as well as her clothes, and she was really skinny, not much more than a skeleton - it was a miracle she still had strength to run. She didn't feel anyone around, and she was exhausted, but still she kept pushing herself into more speed as she ran. Finally she saw light behind the darkness, and tiny twink of hope glittered from her pale eyes. That hope soon was replaced with pure horror and despair, when she realized she had been running a circle, and she was back there where from she tried to ran away. Soft, velvet chuckle echoed in the aisle making the despair more and more deep in her eyes as she quickly turned around to face a long shade and yellow, snake-like eyes piercing through hers.
"O-Orochimaru-sama..." She whispered, tears weren't far from falling as she looked at the man in front of her with pleading eyes. It was easy to sense fear radiating of her full essence.
"Please, Orochimaru-sama..." The same dark chuckle answered to her beggings. She didn't have time to continue as the scene changed, and the next thing she new she was again in the cage. She tried to look around, but noticed that she was tied up. She also noticed the hoses in her body, and her eyes widened in terror - she knew what those hoses were for. She screamed, her acute voice filled the room, as she tried to remove them, but it was already too late. She started to feel dizzy, and last thing she remembered before blacking off was the dark chuckle from everywhere around her.


My mind quickly removed the dream from my immediate memory, and the rest of the night was peaceful.

I woke up having a strange feeling that something was wrong. I immediately remembered the dream I had, but I knew it wasn't the reason that woke me. I tried to listen the voices from the building, but I didn't hear anything - it was peaceful, and quiet, as it should be in the middle of the dark night...

My eyes shot open and I sat up quickly but silently. My room was dark! Why? My room was never dark, they never shut the lights from here. I got up, and walked silently to my door. The aisle was also dark, and the guard had gone somewhere. I tried the door, but it was still locked. I cursed in my mind and tried to look both ways to the aisle, but I saw or heard nothing. I cursed again, now under my breath, as I tried to open the door again, but to no avail.

I felt that it was hard to concentrate - my head slowly became to feel lighter, and I started to have a horrible headache. I remembered the feeling, and realized that the beast inside of me was getting excited because of the long time being trapped and the sudden darkness. I fought against it, keeping it down, and succeeded - my mind became clear again.

One thing I new was that what ever had happened this was a possible chance to get out of here. First thing I had to do was to take care of that door. I couldn't use any of my jutsus, since this place suppressed the chakra of people like me, the prisoners.

I glared at the door, slowly getting pissed, hoping it would just explode or disappear itself. I felt my mind blurring again, and had an idea, hoping it wold work. I stretched my arms forward, leaning to the door, and started to concentrate. I called the beast, trying to force it to give me its powers. At first nothing happened, and I started to get frustrated. Then I felt it - my mind was getting more and more blur, but as result I got more and more powerful. I fought to get my mind clear, but still tried to keep that power. I succeeded, well, kinda, I could hear my thoughts again, and started to push the door. Slowly it bend, and I increased pushing force, just wanting to get out.

At last the higher hinge broke down, and the door opened. I stepped out and instantly looked each way to the aisle, checking if anyone heard the crash door left. No one appeared, and I sighed of relief. I felt the headache again, and grabbed the sides of my head. I started to tame the beast again, so I could think where I should go next. It took a lot of my remaining powers, but the monster was down. I leaned against the wall panting, resting a bit, and started to follow the aisle, remembering each corner and sign, till I got to the scene where everything was happening.

My eyes widened with surprise and confusion - I was now on the halfway to the exit of this building. Down on the aisle laid tens of ANBUs, not moving, few were still up, few were helping wounded ones. I heard sounds of battle around the corner, yells, meeting blades. Before I managed to do or even think, I heard a weird, squeaky noise, like a thousands of birds, and saw blue light right behind the corner. Three limp bodies, which belonged to ANBUs also, flew from there, one hitting the wall. Those few survivors started to retreat, and I hid myself in a shadow of one corner, so they didn't notice me. I slowly and quietly started to walk towards the corner, and while passing the ANBUs bodies I noticed, that they weren't dead, just unconscious. I frowned in confusion - why didn't the attacker kill them?

I got quickly snapped back into the situation, as I heard calm footsteps walking towards the corner, and they weren't far. I looked around me, slightly panicking, and hid myself back into the shadows. I kept an eye tightly on the corner, curious to see who was powerful enough to make ANBU retreat. I narrowed my eyes to see better through the darkness, but widened them again as the stranger came to my view. He was only a boy, younger than me! I watched perfectly still as he walked past me, he didn't seem to notice me. I waited till his steps were gone, and without making a sound made my way forward. While I kept walking through the aisle, noticing more passed out ANBUs, I couldn't help but wonder why that boy was here, why did he attack.

Then an idea came to my mind, and I kicked myself mentally. Of course I had to try and find Tuli too! I stopped and turned around, but stiffened quickly. The boy was there, standing right in front of me, looking at me calmly with his obsidian black eyes. I blinked few times in surprise - I didn't notice him following me. I saw him better now - he had black, kinda spiky hair, white long sleeved shirt that was open from the front, purple rope as belt, black fabric under it, and black pants and shoes. His face was expressionless, as he looked at me. I was aware, and let my doubt be read from my face as I answered to his stare with my white eyes.

I looked at him searchingly. Somehow I felt that I should know that boy, but still he didn't seem familiar.

"Who are you?" I kept my voice strong and loud, letting him see that I didn't fear him. He kept his face blank, and didn't answer right away, like he was thinking what to say. Finally he answered me.

"Who I am, doesn't matter. Are you Lumi?" He sounded older than he looked, and I was slightly taken aback because he knew my name.

"Why do you want to know?" I didn't answer straightly to his question, but I was pretty sure my surprise was enough of an answer.

"I was send here to get you." He stated plainly. Again I blinked my eyes. 'Get me? Where? And why?' I was about to open my mouth to ask it, but in a blink of an eyelid he was standing right behind me.

"Enough with questions." Was all he said before I felt him hitting my neck, throwing me into a darkness.
