Motherless

She was the light in the dark cave. I remembered her beautiful face, her soft caresses, and her warmth. She was the only one who showed me the full extent of what true love would be like. She was also the only one who showed me the full extent of hate. She was the one who taught me to really fear.

She could be an Angel or she could easily become a demon. My Oka-san was a beautiful creature. Though figuring out what whether Oka-san was in a good mood or not. Was like trying to figure out an answer to an equation with letters and no numbers, or to try to solve an almost unsolvable question. Those days when I was unable to predict her moods were hellish and terrifying. I mean true terror, it shook my entire body.

But today isn’t a good day for me. Oka-san isn’t in her Angel mood; instead she is playing a part of the demon wanting to see me bleed an awful color red. Praying that under her watchful eyes that I would not be found, and I would be able to disappear from all eyes including my Oka-san’s watchful eyes. Hateful, eyes look for me, waiting wanting to give- no share as she would say- the pains of being alone. Though those days were long and frightful I would never blame Oka-san. All though secretly those days I wanted nothing more than to rip her apart, to find the sweet Oka-san. Who held me tight and gave me sweet smiles.

She walked slowly and elegantly, she seemed to be a hawk looking for her prey. Open hands, long sweet deadly fingers grasp at my face, leaving faint marks that stung across the bridge of my nose. An evil smile flashed across my Oka-san’s face. Her face changed from a sunny angel into a face of a lavender eye monster. I knew I could not hide from her any longer. I knew I was going to be in so much pain if I didn’t move. I would die by my Oka-san’s hands.

Her nose rose sharply inhaling all of the scents near me. I smiled gently, knowing that my mother was allergic to Jasmine, a flower that was a foreign in her eminence garden. Instead grew in the other side of town. A secret not even my Oka-san knew. Oka-san hands darted out to reach me but something inside me roared. As if it was normal for me I bit into my precious Oka-san’s tender hand. Her wide eyes stared at me, her evil smile turned into a frown.

A horrible noise rose from her lips and was forever in graved into my memories. It was a mix between a cry and a scream. Her eyes changed, her once twisted smile changed even her skin had changed. This was not my Oka-san. This was something else. My legs felt like jelly and for some odd reason I could hardly breathe. But somehow I was able to run. But I could still feel my Oka-san’s presence behind me. But that was a long time ago. Or so I think it was long ago.
Rubbing my eyes out of sleep I noticed three things. One, I was not home, two that it was way past morning, and third was that some blue shark looking man was staring straight at me. He was smiling so brightly I could see all of his razor sharp teeth.

“Awake, are you?” his deep voice rumbled.

(Aki) Well isn’t that a nice voice to wake up to?

(Hin) Aki! Don’t say things like that.

(Aki) What? It is a nice voice to wake up to. Besides I got you to change to another color! Yay, for me. But seriously , Hinata be careful of all the people you meet. Your blood limit is well known.

(Hin) I will.

“Hello, are you here?” Asked the same voice from before.

“Maybe she’s frighten of your absolute ugliness, un. If she’s not useful to us lets give to Zetsu, un,” said another voiced which belonged to another man with long blonde hair.

“Um…excuse me, b-but, uh, y-you know w-where I’m at?” I finally stuttered.

“Ah, so the young lady does speak” the shark guy said.

“Un, what makes you think we should tell you, un?” the blonde one asked.

“Um…” I was about to answer.

(Aki) Don’t answer that fool’s question. Get up and walk on out to see what they will do.

Carefully I stood up and with a quick hand sign I was out of the small hut. I turned to run but before I had a chance to move I felt something sharp on my back, a sword, I assumed.

“Well, I didn’t know that the young miss had some training. You’re a Hyuuga? Are you not?” There was no point in hiding it so I sputtered out a yes. I could feel him grinning as his sword began to graze my back.

“Well what are you doing so far away from home, un?” the blonde one asked. I bite my tongue as an answer. “Come on Hyuuga you can tell us, un.”

A rumble of laughter came from the big shark guy’s mouth as he struggled to keep his composure. The blonde one gave the big guy a weird look. An inside joke I presumed.

“Now, now Diedara. I don’t think the little lady would tell us that don’t you think?”

“Come off the sweet guy routine, Kisame, un,” said Diedara. I felt a shrug from Kisame as he eased his sword of my back.

(Aki) Hinata enter into their conversation.

(Hin) Are you out of your mind? There is no way that they will listen to me.

(Aki) Trust me on this men are men. Give them some attention and - wait never mind. Try to convince them that you mean no harm and that you need to go to the hospital.

Now that Aki brought back to my dismay about my condition I felt woozy and darkness began to cloud my vision. My body finally woke up with the rest of me. My legs began to tighten as my lungs began to fill with new blood. I felt my warm stomach liquid traveled upwards to my throat. I wanted nothing more than to free myself of Kisame’s tight grip. I wanted so desperately to let tears roll down my face.

(Aki) Don’t you dare Hinata. You can’t just die on me!

“Hey, Hyuuga girl you o.k.?” asked Diedara.

A familiar song rush out from its confines deep within my memories and slowly nodded me off to sleep. My Oka-san’s hands reach to keep me warm and ready to kill me. Her voice softly mantras and I softly sing with her.
