Toneri Ōtsutsuki

The surprise witness.

Cold, painful memories pierced her heart.

'Don't cry.' she told herself. Her eyes stung, she found it hard to breathe, she couldn't move.

'LEAVE!' she could only shout within the depths of her mind.

"He did this to me." she whispered only to herself; not thinking straight, forcing all the blame on this person.

<<<flashback>>>

"Hinata!" the boy called out to her.

Toneri... Her one and only friend.

Well, that's what she thought at least.

The two were introduced by their fathers at the age of twelve and almost been inseparable since then.

Now, about four years later, they have been even closer.

But today, was different. He acted strangely, and he was giving off an unsettling vibe.

"Hey Hinata."

"Good morning Toneri." she smiled warmly towards him.

He stared solely on her, and her alone.

"Come over tonight." he blurted out of no where.

For the first time, Hinata felt uncomfortable around him.

"Uh-"

"My mother is throwing a fine dinner and invited you to come over. It's been so long since you've last seen my parents, they want to catch up." he smiled warmly.

Hinata then smiled at him.

"Well, it has, hasn't it. Maybe I should catch up right."

"Yes exactly."

"See you till then." he waved goodbye and walked away in a hurry.

"Uh, bye."she mumbled quietly.

So, that night, that's what Hinata went to do. She told her father, who in returned accepted since it was for the Otsutsukis. She didn't dress too casual, but not too fancy either; just a nice lavender button down blouse and a black skirt that was above the knees. Her hair the same.

Once she entered her car she drove off to the fairly big mansion and parked outside the gates. She walked up to the front, knocking twice, the door was immediately opened by Toneri himself, who in return smiled fairly big, even for him.

She entered the big house and noticed two things that were odd.

One: none of the maids or guards could be seen like they usually would.

And two: She didn't smell any food.

"Toneri-"

"You look lovely Hinata." he whispered behind her ear as she flinched dramatically.

She turned around and gazed his dimmed eyes.

"I-I don't smell any food Toneri. W-will dinner be a bit late?"

He walked towards her slowly.

"And, w-where is everyone?" she panicked as she took a few steps back, looking desperately around the area franticly.

"Dinner was canceled, and everyone took off for tonight." he whispered eerily.

"Why?" she whispered back panicking greatly as his echoing footsteps inched closer to her own.

"It's just you and me tonight. I've waited so long for this, but I needed to gain your trust."

His smile sickened her to tears.

She whispered again."Why?"

"You know why." he whispered back as he finally caught his prey in a corner.

Hinata pushed him, which caught him off guard, and tried to make a run for it, but he grabbed her wrist yanking her back towards him. She felt something poking her back and the tears streamed down.

"Be a good girl, or I'll let you bleed to death."

'A blade.'

"Kill me now." she spoke too low; she practically mouthed the words.

"Wouldn't you like that? But no. I will let this night burn into your memories, you will never forget this moment." he twisted her arm as she struggled to break free.

"NO!" she finally shouted. "I can take you to jail you freak!" she struggled.

"And if you do, I will make sure you instantly regret it."

"H-how." she spoke more quietly, but she also loosened his grip, which made him twist her arm even more, making her moan in pain.

"Hanabi's death." he whispered happily in her ear.

She paled. She stopped struggling, and she stopped breathing.

"You couldn't possibly do that." she breathed out.

She felt him move, as he grabbed an object from out his pocket. When his arm reached out from around her waist, she realized that he grabbed his phone.

"Oh..I couldn't you say?" he smirked. He powered on the device which revealed pictures of her little sister doing homework in her room.

"Someone's watching her as we speak-"

"You're sick!"

"Maybe." he chuckled. "I could easily have her killed right now."

Hinata silently cried, now very desperate. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because I love you."

"You're a maniac."

"Why won't you love me Hinata! I've tried so hard to get your attention, but you never once looked at me that way!" he shouted, his voice booming through the room.

"Toneri please." she begged.

"Say you love me." he whispered, pushing the knife a little further, but not enough to pierce her skin.

Hinata bit her lip, she loved him like a brother, but she knew that if she were to say that, then it would anger him more.

"I love you." she said as believable as possible.

"Lies." he said through gritted teeth. He spun her around forcefully, seeing the fear in her eyes. He dragged the knife down her stomach, making her scream in pain.

"You're a LIAR!"

He tore off her blouse, x'ing the side on her left with the blade. She cried in pain, thrusting her arms and legs everywhere.

"You bitch! I will have you one way or the other."

He threw her on the ground, making her hit her head on the ground painfully; she was dizzy, and she knew she was giving up.

"Stop it please!" she shouted.

"Quit resisting! It would only make it harder for the both if us" he said with pure venom.

She cried and threw her arms at his chest, not doing any damage at all.

He sat across her waist to stop the kicking. He had cut her again for her terrible "lie" and leaned over her, locking her wrists with his firm hand, and placing them above her head.

He leaned forward and whispered in her ear.

"I'll make this quick. Promise."

"NO!"

He slid down her skirt, pinned her to the floor, pulled at her underwear, and raped her.

That night was filled with shouts, screams, but most of all

pain.

So much pain.

She finally left the house, grabbing what's left of her clothes, with cuts all over her stomach and chest. She got into her car and drove off, not caring where she was going; she couldn't go home in the condition she was in. She parked her car, put on her clothes through blurry eyes then cried.

It hurt so much.

She hit the stirring wheel forcefully, punching it over and over.

But then, she heard knocking on her window and jumped thinking it was Toneri, but instead it was some guy in a hoodie. Being frighted, but naive, she rolled down her window just a crack and asked shakingly "yes?"

"Are you the one that I'm meeting with?"

She lifted an eyebrow, but he spoke again.

"Hurry up, I can't stay here long, I have the gun, give me the money." he spoke hastily.

'Gun.' she repeated thoughtfully.

"H-how much was it again?" she asked reaching for her wallet.

"150 dollars. There's only one bullet so make it last." he smirked, but it was hidden. She didn't care anymore, she was fully blinded with rage and was very revengeful. She cracked the window down some more, then handed him the cash. She was going to reach for the gun before he said.

"If I were you, I would wear gloves." he chuckled, setting the object on the passenger seat, then left.

She drove back home at around eight, entered through the back door, but luckily her father and sister was out for the moment. She quickly snuck up the stairs, tended to her wounds, and changed. The only pair of gloves she owned were winter gloves. She grabbed them and left, wearing her trenchcoat to hide herself.

She heard her phone ding and noticed that it was a message.

Toneri:
You can't hide forever, I followed you and I know about the gun.

He sent a picture of her in her car making the purchase.

"He hid a damn camera in my car."she grumbled.

Toneri:
I'm so honored, is that suppose to be for me ? :) you don't have the guts.
However, it looks like I have some dirt on you, meet me here so we can discuss. I don't need to hurt your sister anymore.. I can blackmail you now.
Here's the address.

She read the address and powered off her phone.

'Here I come bastard.'

She didn't get in her car that time, since it was fairly close.

A small café. That's where he was meeting her. She put the gun in her trench coat and walked silently.

She saw the café, but she needed a secluded area where she could shoot from. The city was always busy, even at a time like this. The gun wasn't that long-ranged, but it could still shoot far enough.

She hoped.

Even so, she searched the area, and found an abandoned three-storied apartment building; how lucky of her.

She walked towards the side of the building where the fire escape of stairs were located.

She saw that the ladder was already halfway down, so she jumped and successfully pulled the ladder down, to which she climbed. She climbed the stairs to the third and final floor and kicked the half-boarded-half-broken window.

She kicked again and finally loosened the boards and broken the window then carefully snuck inside the room. She walked around the small area, making sure to dodge the many rats and bugs that scurried around.
She found a room with a window that was directly facing the café.

'There.'

She spotted him sipping his drink with no care in the world. "Fucking bastard." she whispered with venom.

She reached for her hood, then covered her face, but still left it opened enough for her to see.

She slowly opened the window as if someone was watching her and aimed the fire arm at her target.

The trigger was pulled, the bullet headed towards the café at a blinding speed, but her timing was way off.

As if in slow motion she watched in horror as the bullet rushed towards someone else; the person walking passed the café glass window at the same time; the metal bullet striking his head. Screams were heard, people scattered like roaches, and most of all..Hinata regretted everything.

She rushed to her escape, and that's how everything began.

··<flashback end>··

"When will this end?" she whispered.

"Toneri Otsutsuki, was it?" the judge continued."You better have some solid proof."

'This was all for nothing.'

"Of course." he smirked.

'Why now!' she thought. He had the picture the whole time, so why didn't he just turn her in sooner?

He wanted her to suffer.

That's why.

But he's here now, and it's over.

"I have pictures your honor."

He got up and handed him the photos. He glanced at them and then gave it to one of the staff to pass around the jury, who in turned all agreed simultaneously in silence.

This was her end.
