Chapter 37: Star of hope... lessness

I don't know for how long I... slept, daydreames or simply stared at the gates locking me in this hell. Days? Weeks? Months? Years? I don't know anymore. I also lost count of how many times I ripped my heart out, beheaded myself or smashed myself against the gates. I died every single time, only for death to flip me off and send me away.

At one point, I began hearing voices in my head as well. They all told me to kill myself, which really is not of much help. After they began annoying me too much though, I just cut my head off and when it regrew, they had disappeared. Weird, right...?

The god, or my 'mother', I guess, not that I could ever acknowledge her as such, never visited me again. Nobody did, in fact. Not even my warden did. I learned who she was by trying to focus on her senses, and I found out that it's the girl who's in love with the fox retard: Hinata. 

I had to cut off all connections with her, fast. She was fucking stalking the retard, and when he saw her she blushed and ran away. I beheaded myself multiple times to try and get the image out of my head, literally, but of course my photographic memory would never allow me to do so. 

I thus simply spent my days hugging my knees, singing lullabies to myself and/or crying silently, all alone. I don't mind it too much though, I deserve it. I'm nothing more then a psycopathic monster, after all.

At first, I tried to find someone or something to blame, for any reason, but I always devolve into simply thinking 'I deserved it'. By now, I've realized that yes, I do deserve this. I shouldn't be let free in the world anyway, for I would simply bring pain and destruction.

This led me into a spiral of self-pity, melancholy and depression. Unluckily for me though, I still kept my emotions. Those never went away, especially my sadness. 

However, a feeling of emptiness still remains in me. It's like I have my whole chest carving in, constricting me and making it hard to breathe. I already know why I feel like this, but it's... hard to admit. Harder then perhaps ripping my own limbs off one by one, as physical pain is just that, pain. Mental or spirtual pain is much, much more sinister and all-consuming. My pride doesn't even help my psyche, as it was destroyed a long time ago.

No, my own feelings deny me of the relief of simple hatred. I want to hate that god, I want to hate this world, I want to hate Konoha, and most importantly, I want to hate Itachi, but I also don't want to. I don't want to because I know perfectly that the God just wanted to help me, although in the most retarded way possible, and everyone else simply went along due to their fears. 

Sure, it doesn't really make me feel any better. At most, it just makes me feel like shit even more. Thus, I spent my time simply sitting there, not doing anything in particular. Days turned into weeks, which in turn turned into months. I then lost track of time, so I can't be sure anymore.

However, today something strange happend. As I was... well... crying silently, a strange feeling of control washed over me. I could feel myself in another body whilst also being in my own, which was kind of strange. 

The more time passed, the more I could feel myself gaining control. After a bit, I opened my eyes in this new 'body'. 

The first thing I saw was a wild Neji looking at me with mockery, and I could hear the Fox Retard screaming at Hinata to get up. It didn't take long for me to connect the dots. Fox gets control over Naruto via bad emotions, I'm in a situation like the Fox, Hinata is probably in the exams getting beaten down hard, thus I gain control over Hinata's body. 

A crazed smile floats up on Hinata's lips. I'm not sure for how long I can remain in control, and maybe I shouldn't even be in control, but I don't care. They made me suffer hell, they betrayed me and they destroyed my psyche even more. I don't care if it's not their fault, ?? ???????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ?????????? ??????????.

I turned around and was about to head out of the arena when I heard that damned Naruto scream out "Wait!"

I turned to face him and saw his serious face. I frowned and crossed my arms, waiting for what he wanted to say. He simply smiled and pointed back at Hinata whilst saying "She's not done yet!"

My frown deepened and I turned back to Hinata, who suprisingly indeed was slowly getting back up. I snorted and said "Hmph. Destiny dictates that I will win, struggling is useless."

I waited for her reaction, which didn't come for quite a while. Her face was covered by her black hair, so I couldn't see her expression, but her shoulders were slumped and she was arched forward in a tired position.

Then, she began to giggle strangely. A strange feeling rose up in me, confusing me. Her soft giggling soon turned into a crazed laughing, which in turn transformed into a straight-up maniacal laugher full of hatred.

"Hihihihi... Ahhh, it's a nice day today, isn't it?" She said whilst still laughing. I didn't answer as I was still trying to figure out what was wrong with her. She shouldn't even be able to stand up, much less speak.

"Hihihihihi... I think I should sing something funny now, shouldn't I?

Crushed like ice

Like twenty tons have been thrown on my soul

You spoke those words that emitted through your vocal cords like venom

A snake you were

Looking through my eyes into my core

So delicately

You devised your plan to kill everything inside me

Skillfully you weaved your web, planted your trap

And with your love decoy blindfolded my logic

All that was open was my trust

Your weapon

You deceived, I believed

Your arms were so warm,

Now the only warmth I feel

Is that of my blood

Spilling from my soul

As my life swings carelessly

Like a pendulum

Back and forth

Higher and higher

But going nowhere

The five senses have gone numb

I scream louder and louder

But no one hears me

They speak, they call out to help

I cannot hear

Look at me, look at the nothingness you have brought onto me

The well hath run dry "    (Source: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/loved-and-lost)

As she spoke, she began to walk forward, her face still hidden. I unconsciously took a step back, and when I realized what I was doing, I felt the hatred in me deepen. 

I threw a kunai at her, but she slightly tilted her head sideways, dodging it. That was when she stopped singing, and instead she began to giggle once again. 

The change of character threw me off quite a bit. Before, she was just a scared, useless girl, and now she felt like a mass-murdered. I turned to look at Sensei Guy, but he looked just as confused as I was. 

"Haaaah... Hahahaha... Ahhh, I probably went insane. Oh wait, I already was insane. I don't know how long I have, but I'll make full use of it~." 

She slowly bent down and picked up a small rock and began to throw it in the air and catch it as it fell down. I then heard sensei shout out "Neji, dodge!!"

I did as he said instinctively and barely felt a gust of air pass by where my head was a moment before. The next instant a resounding explosion could be heard. 

I looked at the explosion point in shock and saw that that rock alone had blown off a portion of the wall, causing several cracks to spread. I turned to look at Hinata, whose eyes could now be seen.

Instead of being completely white like a normal Hyuga, her eyes had turned completely red. Her smile was warped, reaching her ears in an extremely creepy manner. She laughed once again and said "Ahaha... Only 10% of my strenght... Not cool at all, and I can't even use my magic... Well, fuck you. I don't care about you, but I do care about YOU!" 

She suddently turned and disappeared, only for a crash to resound on the stages. I turned and saw that Hinata was there, holding both Naruto and Sasuke by their necks with only one hand and lifting both in the air. She threw Naruto away like a ragdoll, much to his suprise. The senseis quickly realized something was amiss and shot at her, only to each be blown back by either a punch, a Sasuke to the face. Poor Guy-sensei even received a kick in the balls, and he screamed out "Unyouthfull!!!!!" after getting back up. Male ninja's got it rough...

Meanwhile, Sasuke tried to kick her, punch her and even bite her, but all to no avail. She tightened her grip and he tried to struggle even more, but she whispered something in his ear. He assumed a shocked face, but it didn't last long as she threw him away like yet another ragdoll.

Then, the Ambu finally made their move. They surrounded her and pointed all of their swords/kunais at her, blocking her. She giggled once more before whispering something in a strange way which made all of us hear what she said.

"I'll be back you fucking kunai-loving pieces of shit bastards...". After that, she slowly fell to the ground and didn't get back up.
