Of good boys and kind elders
In the dimly lit corridor I saw an old man, who was happily chatting with the Matron. Honestly, it is amazing, that he lived to this age. Not many has accomplished such feat, that's why I always show at least modicum of respect towards him.
There is door at the end of the corridor, that opens up the view at the dark alley. Usually we receive our provisions from this place once a week or when kind volunteers donate something. And then we carry all this stuff as some sort of subtle weight lifting training.
Also,if any civilian ever tried to carry something from the main entrance, they must be sleeping peacefully right now.
Six feet under.
At the cemetery,that is.
The orphanage is situated on the small hill, the building and the staircase were built by the First Hokage himself with his Mokuton like most houses in the Leaf Village.
I don't know, if he was some mad genius, that wanted to confuse enemies in case of invasion or just that he was extremely shitty at infrastructure and architecture. I swear, that staircase beds in at least 8 directions and even has some dead ends. The man might be God of Shinobi, but boy, he did make it difficult for pretty much everyone. That's probably the reason, why most people use rooftops and windows.
„Oh no, i am afraid i need to go already. I was only able to carve out a little bit of time today,because I promised children"-he said glancing at us.
„Good evening,Hasegawa-san"-we said in unison approaching the pair.
„ Ahh, good evening, Kaito-kun and…"he trailed off slightly embarrassed trying to remember my friend's name.
„And Daiki-kun" Matron finished the sentence.
„So ,is there something we can help with? Or did we come too late?" I asked, secretly hoping it to be the might be an old man , who lived through two wars, but he always weirded me out,like he is looking through me and sees someone else.
Suddenly we heard a dull thud against the wall and then sound of smashing glass. „Aaaaa" someone cried out and started loudly wailing.
„I am so sorry, I won't see you off, Hasegawa-san, it seems we have an emergency" she slightly bowed and ran out of the corridor.
„ It is fine" he waved off at her retreating back, „ ahh, last box. Daiki-kun, can you please carry it"
His eyes are already zoomed in on the word chocolate written on it. „Of course, sir" He grabbed the box and ran off without looking back.
I stared in stunned silence at the door. So I was woken up and dragged around for… nothing. I am definitely paying back for that. Maybe I should put frog in his bed or dye in shampoo.
When I turned my head , Hasegawa-san was already staring at me with those weird eyes again.I flinched. Creepy jerk." emmn, then I will be going,sir"I said with slight smile slowly inching towards the exit.
When I was mentally picturing myself sleeping, he suddenly slapped his forehead and called out to me „ahh,Kaito-kun, it seems I forgot one more box, it is still in a cart. I am afraid my back isn't what it used to be, I will require your help"he said, glancing across the room.
Fucking great,at least it won't take much time."of course, sir." he placed his hand on my shoulder and lead me towards the alley.
The alley was extremely dark, it was filled dirty with big boxes and all different sorts of trash. Stray cat hissed at us scarring over on another street.
I was still extremely sleepy, so I trudged forward almost dragging my feet." You know,Kaito-kun, I met my wife, when I was traveling with caravan and passing through the Land of Water"he said „She had beautiful blue eyes, that's why you remind me of her sometimes "
„Oh, how interesting" not, at least it explains the way he looks at me. Let 's finish quickly and go to sleep.
We continued going forward, him pushing me from the back " Uhh? Wait, Hasagawa-san. There is only wall and dead end in that direction. How come you left your cart there?"i looked up and froze in place.
He was ominously looming over me, his hand tightened painfully around my shoulder. His gase contained crazed glint and his psychotic smile was about to split his face in half from how wide it was.
I could feel my body being smashed in the corner between wall and stakes of mind wasn't working, I could only stare dumbly as he continued to approach me. It was as though my whole body was filled with lead, I couldn't move a single muscle. I didn't feel pain or anger,just my crazily beating heart and tightness in my throat. Completely numb,like it is happening to someone else and not me.
„Wha…what" I barely managed to croak out, staring at him wide eyed. „Finally… finally we are alone"he giggled hysterically. Suddenly he grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head, as my back slowly slided against the wall behind me.
„Yes, yes… these blue eyes and such a beautiful face. I know, you were just asking for it. Right? Right?! Hahaha" he started caressing my face. Then his hand slowly slid down under the hem of my shirt.Disgusting
I was hyper aware of his ice cold hand on my stomach, that slowly started pulling my shirt up.Revolting. Nausea started building up, I felt like thousands of ants were trying to eat my insides out.
Why, why… why… why me?
„Kaito-kun, you are good boy, right? I can stop bringing food to orphanage and say , that is because of you. Then you will be hated by everyone. Your friends will stop talking to you and you will isolated alone in that place. You wouldn't want that, would you"he threatened me „Anyway, if you weren't temping me with that face, none of this would have happened. All of this is your fault"I slowly blinked
My fault? … my …I…...tempted…. What a load of crap
That brought me out of my shock. I started hysterically laughing to the point of coughing.
All of a sudden I noticed intense pain in my cheek. He just slapped me across my face.Asshole. I started trashing, flailing my limbs trying to get him off me.
I am fairly small, but fast for my age.
Against my pears I can pull quite a punch.
Against someone who is way bigger and stronger than me, I have no chance. Doesn't mean I stop trying to inflict as much damage and pain on this scum as I can.
Only as I wanted to open my mouth and scream for help,my world in an instant turned upside down. He flipped me over,simultaneously locking my hands behind my back and showing down a piece of cloth into my mouth.
„I tried to be gentle with you, but you, lowly bloody-minded bitch don't deserve it"my head was turned sideways on the ground and I could see enormous gash on my forearm. There was glass shard on the ground and now my blood is gushing out from the wound.
I could feel rage filling out every cell of my body. How dare you how dare you how dare you how dare you
You are but one step away from being in grave
You fucking fossil
I am going to rip YOUR eyes out
I started heavily breathing as he continued trying to strip me of my clothes.
Blood
Drip…. My blood
His disgusting hand sliding down towards my shorts
No.. I don't want …this no no…. No
Red… red… blood.. boiling inside.. of me
Rattling in the wind chains that were tying up boxes
How dare… he
Stop… I am scared
God… please..no
Revolting touch
Kill him
Something warm… in my stomach… no
Warm.. in my body
Rattling chains
Stop touching …me
Kill HIM ..no no him …kill IT
Surprisingly scarlet blood
Drip
Suddenly something snapped inside of me.
Waves of intense killer intent and bloodlust were spreading out of little body. The older man, who was still pressing the hands of the child, froze and pissed himself. His whole body was trembling in fear like he was facing terrifying monster.
Small pool of blood …wound…thump of the heart
His mole gradually transformed into scarlet line from the corner of his left eye towards his chin, as though blood tears were streaming down his face.
Slowly trickles of blood started rising up in the air, they started to mesh with each other forming something similar to the chains, that were in little boy's eyesight.
Without warning they shot up right through the abdominal cavity of the old man and pulled out.Splash In a second the blood spattered across the man helplessly fell backwards against the wall, making a perfectly straight red line on it before he slumped. His trembling hand was trying to stop the bleeding. He looked in horror at the approaching boy.
My laughter was starting to burst, but I tried to hold it. He was so scary just a minute ago, but now look at him.How pathetic (of him?of me?both?)
Still not dead
Tsk
I saw a brick near the wall, that will do.
If you weren't temping me with that FACE
These blue EYES and such a BEAUTIFUL face. I know, you were just asking for it. I could hear his disgusting voice ringing inside of my head.
„Well, your Face isn't as pretty as mine. Good boys should help their Elders?Right?Hasegawa-san~? I remember,you said , that I am a good boy. I can't possibly let you down~"I said with weird tilt to my tone.
If anyone passed this alley, they would see demon in a form of stood in dirtied white shirt with splatters of something red on it,right sleeve soaked in blood as it kept dripping down his hand. Based on his cheerful smile, you would think, that he is having the time of is waves of killing intent were so thick,you could practically cut them with a was nothing,but crazed excitement in his was as though he suddenly received a toy he dreamed so much about. And NOW he can play with it HE WANTS.
I grabbed the brick and started smashing it against his FACE.
Smash ..Squelch What a funny sound, I laughed as I kept hitting again and again.
The old guy's head was caved in, brain matter on the ground and blood everywhere.
I threw away blooded brick and scooted away from the corpse. I hugged my knees and kept swinging back and forth. Am I still in shock?Probably,i mused.
I was sitting in a daze looking at the splatter on the wall,then my gaze slowly slid down towards IT.
Panic started kicking in.I just look at it with downing horror.
I…I… just killed.. someone Didn't I?
Nausea overwhelmed me and I threw up.
Immense headache assaulted my senses, distorted visions of someone appeared in my head.
PAIN sTOp ...iT hurts ..STop
I started to viciously tug at my hair willing pain to just STOP.
I see a feet in my field of vision.
Someone is here.
I look up.
White mask… red and black lines… some animal? And then no more
Just darkness
