I stared at him. His body was motionless and was littered with cuts.

Why us, why were we cursed. All our lives we were forced to suffer and everyone around us died. Why, why did he have to suffer.

He was kind and gentle, a pure soul. He never held a grudge he was carefree despite how we were raised. And he loves this pathetic village, the village that had held us prisoners ever since we were born. The same village where we suffered each and everyday, the village that hated us for no reason other than a stupid seal on my brother.

It wasn't fair. Why do we suffer. Why do we have to withstand the struggles and pains. I'm tired, I'm afraid and scared. I'm sick, sick of having to watch them spit at us and ignore it. But most of all I'm tired of seeing him suffer.

He's so pure he deserves the world, I'm a monster but he isn't. He deserves to live so why him. Why do the good people always get hurt.

"Naruto." I whisper as I pull him close. "Akumi, help us." I heard them yell for me. I held my brother. I never cry because I'm the strong one. I promised to protect him yet I can never really help him.

"I'm sorry." I whisper and I felt tears flood my eyes. "I'm sorry, I let this happen!" My voice trembles and I can feel my body shake as I began to sob. I hold him closer. I felt like all the pain inside of me swirled and my chest felt heavy with grief.

I had sworn that I would never let this happen again.

"Big brother is dead." I whisper as I saw his motionless body from afar.

I swore I'd protect him.

"I need you two to promise me you'll look out for each other." Jiji stated as Nii-chan and I looked at each other and held hands. "Hai we promise. 'I swear I don't let Nii-chan get hurt anymore.'

But it seems like I can never keep him safe.

"He's dead, he's dead, he's dead. You killed him!"

I looked down at my blood cover hands. She took everything from me. She took him away, why do they always want to see me suffer.

"I'll make you pay. For hurting my brother." I manage to grumble out.

I'll kill her, I'll kill her, I'll rip her to shreds I'll make sure that she suffers.

"Is that all you brats have?" I heard a sickening voice laugh. I felt anger boil inside of me. She hurt him!

I set Naruto down. I concentrated all my chakra in my body.

"You monster!"  I felt my body shake and tears streamed down my face.

I didn't hesitate to attack. She got in a defense position and awaited my attack. I used my chakra chains in the last moment to stab through her and grasp her.

"Think this is enough to hold me down brat?" She laughed and smirked cynically. I didn't respond, I will make her suffer.

She managed to yank her arm out of my chains grip. But it was too late. I pulled myself into her body, how many times had I done this before.

"You'll pay for what you did." I yelled angrily as I took her own kunai out and stabbed myself while using her body.

I could feel the adrenalin in my body as I began damaging her body.

I let my chains burst through her body and as I was inside of her. I could hear her subconcious and the amount of pain she was in but  I wasn't done.

I moved quickly grabbing a kunai from my pouch, I launched myself forward. I had seen kaa-san move like this before, I've  watch how she broke bones and used these kind of kunai on the bad kids. But I was different, I'd get rid of the monsters that hurt my big brother.

I breathed heavily as blood from the grass ninja I possesessed spilled on the ground and covered it.

It's like before, it's just like that day. I felt fear and panic rise in my chest as tears pooled in my eyes. This time I might be left alone again.

"The kyubii girl, she's a demon.... She possessed him." The men coward back and pulled out blades of their own. I don't care what they think of me.

I let out a war cry as I launched myself towards them. I stabbed a man with a kunai and punched him. I don't care how, I don't care what it cost me I'll make them scream louder than Timoro-sama could ever make us scream.

I didn't relent my attack, all the anger and frustration I had I let it out on this ninja. I cut the tendons the body making the legs collapse.

I hissed as I took the kunai and lodged into the ninjas throat.

One of them managed to cut me but I didn't even feel the pain as I stabbed the man repeatedly. Two of them moved quickly but I managed to keep up with them . Let out a screech. "Bastard you never have enough! Nobody ever does ! I hate you all! He never did anything wrong he was good, he was kind but you took him away from me!" I cried out as I followed after them. Three had been killed, they wore a green flat jacket and I was after the other men that were fleeing.

They made it out to the bustling street but I didn't care as I pounced on one of them, I grabbed his face by his upper jaw and used the kunai to slice the sides of his mouth open. All I could hear was screaming from him and from other people.

I used all my strength to crush his arms with my legs and break  while I purposely grinded my foot down to fracture the bone more and cause more pain.

"Someone stop him!" I heard screaming and shouting. I look up to see the other man staring at me in horror. "Bastard!" I launched myself at him, I didn't care what I cut off but I stabbed him as many times as I could.

I pushed myself out of the body. I glanced back at the now mutilated body I had left behind. I was breathing heavily.

Men with animal masks surrounded me as did  others with the same green jacket as those men. "He's dead, they killed him, he's dead!" I cried out as I glare at them.

Why were they attacking me? We're they friends with those bastards?

I launched forward and attack them, they lodged kunai in me but I felt nothing so continued to attack. The masked men moved faster and were stronger, no matter how hard I fought they were stronger. I pushed myself, I'd take as many as I can down!

Before I knew it they managed to grab me I screamed, kicked, and struggled. It's this body, if I could leave it them I could be free.

I screamed as I felt a warm sensation, I was free I pulled myself away, I felt small again. I heard gasps and a silence. "She's a monster,  help me." I heard that man's voice and slowly turned around. His body was bleeding and he collapsed on the ground, the masked men backed away and were looking at both of us.

"You killed my brother, I'll never forgive you. He's all I had!" I scream at the top of my lungs as I grabbed a kunai and leaped at him.
I could hear the sickening of the kunai ripping through his skin as I rentlessly stabbed him.

The man choked on his blood and stopped screaming. I felt arms grab me and I let out a shrill. I struggled and pulled as they tried to hold me down. I felt a burning sensation on my lower back and suddenly a sharp pain. I heard a loud crash and the hands finally let me go.

I wrapped my arms around me as I the turned to see that the masked men had let go. I felt tired but I had to stay up. I glanced behind me and noticed chains that had a gold like color to them swinging around. I gasped realizing they were coming out of me.

I looked around me. People stared at me.

Pale faces and looks of horror stared back at me.

I tried to make myself seem small but they all looked at me with cold judgemental eyes.

I felt terror brew in the pit of my stomach, it was too much I felt as if I were suffocating me. I looked down to see that I was coated in a thin layer of blood. "Get away." I mumble as I slowly backed away, the ninja slowly approached me seeming cautious.

"Get away!" I yelled louder as I stepped back, it felt like everything was too close. I could hear my own ragged breathing.

"Akumi." I turned to see Jiji. I looked up at him and saw the disappointment in his face. "What have you done." His voice sounded sad, did he know I didn't protect big brother? "I'm sorry." I gasp out as I stared at him. Guilt filled me to the brim."I couldn't protect Nii-chan, they killed him." I manage to say when I felt a sharp pain on my neck and the world went black.

"We have to get out." Sakura stated as she placed all of her seals onto the dead woman. "She's dead, why waste the seal-" Sasuke was cut off by sakura. "You saw that weird thing she did after your fire attack if she did it again what chance of escape would we have." Sakura snapped.

"Akumi breath. You've lost alot of blood, use my body to rest Sasuke and I will take care of naruto." She stated. "I can't, I have to protect-"

"Stop it! We are a team, like it or not. Had it not been for us all working against her we would've all died. Besides Sasuke and I will carry Naruto, but as you are right now you will only drag us down. I looked down and sighed. My body hurt, how I was still standing I don't know.

"You can trust us, I swear we will protect you. You might be mean and grumpy but your our friend." Sakura stated and I felt tears in my eyes. It always had been Naruto and I.

A friend, I never really had one of those. I nodded and entered sakura's body and I felt relaxed.

I'd seen them put their life on the line for my brother and I. Maybe.... maybe I can have friends.

Flashback

I woke up in a white room. All my memories rushed back to me. I felt tears brim my eyes as I laid in bed.

"Nii-chan." I muttered as I began to sob. "I'm all alone, big brother. You said you'd be there." I gasp out as I tug my arms. I felt restraints holding me down as I cried. "I'm alone, I promised I would protect you but I'm so pathetic and weak I couldn't."

"Big brother, why did you leave me. What am I gunna do!" I screamed. Every single hit and every cut I had taken to protect him was nothing compared to the pain I felt swell in my chest. My body shook and no matter how loud I screamed the pain in my chest wasnt going away.

I heard the door open but I didn't care, not now or ever. I want to die, I don't want to live alone. I pulled on the restraints as I sobbed. I tried to hold my breath maybe I could suffocate myself to death.

"Akumi." I heard Jiji' s voice. I stopped screaming and slowly turn to him, he was looking at me with tears brimming his eyes. A tall long haired blonde man stood by his side he was a ninja and wore that same green jacket. "Jiji." I stammer out.

"Oh child, my poor child." Jiji shook his head. "Jiji, I want to die. I don't want to be alone, I hate being alone. I want my big brother and without him I don't want to keep on living. It's too much jiji. It hurts everyday, I'm tired." I whimper out as I began to cry.

"I have no mom or dad, and nobody left. I want to die Jiji .... can you please kill me and throw me in one of those holes?" I stammer out as I gasped for air. I felt the hot warm tears run down the sides of my cheeks.

"I don't want to go home, it's so painful and I'll be lonely without my brother." I sob as I look away from him and stare at the ceiling.

I felt him wipe my tear with his hand and careless my cheek. "Don't say that, don't say things like that. You're so young and have so much to live for." He whispered as he held back tears.

"Your brother is still alive. He barely made it but he's still alive. I'm sure he wouldn't want to hear you say that." He added and I bursted into tears again. "He's alive." I felt my chest fill with happiness. "I'm not alone jiji.... I'm not alone." I cry.
