Village Hidden in the Dark

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

**OOC: You don't have to keep referring my character as "You". It's not me... >> it's Tsukimi. **


I don't stop running until my foot gets caught on a slab of rubble, sending me to the ground. My chest heaves, knocking the air right out of my lungs.


The bitter cold is making the water along my skin feel frozen, clouds falling from the mountains causing a mist to settle around me. My hair is starting to freeze as the temperature drops, but the sound of my own heartbeat is keeping me from thinking of the harsh night.


Zero's face flies past my mind, and the ache consumes my chest again. I take deep breaths, standing slowly.


The ghost of his lips are still tingling against my own, making me grit my teeth.


I'm tired...


No.


Exhausted.

 

[Sakuto]

I find you after 2 minutes "Tsukimi!!" I as i rush over to Tsukimi helping her up and taking her back to the house making a fire in the fire sitting next to her as I wrap a blanket around Tsukimi and gives her a hug.


"Im sorry if i did anything to bother you" I say softly

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

When I heard the soft footsteps I knew it was Zero. Who else would be up at this time?


He brings me back to Sakuto's home, a blanket being draped over my shoulders. I don't say anything when he wraps his arm around me. And when he apologizes I just shake my head slowly and swallow hard.


No one had payed much attention to Mei and I, and most physical contact was during a battle.


I was use to getting kissed on the mouth with a set of knuckles... not a pair of lips.


I lay my head gently on his shoulder and close my eyes, taking a deep breath.


"It helped." I said quietly. And it was the truth.


Even if it had brought about more swirling emotions... it stopped me from thinking about Mei.


"I'm tired..." my voice is weak.

 

[Sakuto]

do you wanna sleep alone or share a bed? "I Ask as i carry you to the room where you were sleeping in and i lay you gently on the bed tucking you in.


"I beileve you and I arent just genin, we are much higher than that and Sakuto's gonna help the both of us unlock our full power" I say sitting on the bed stroking your soft smooth cheek smiling

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

"Don't leave..." I say softly, closing my eyes. His fingers gently stroking my cheek makes me feel calm. And the threat of sleep is weighing heavy on my shoulders.


"Rest, Zero. We'll need our strength. Who knows what Sakuto Sense has in store for us tomorrow."


I feel a yawn press to my tongue, and I allow it to happen...drifting into sleep.

 

[Sakuto]

I get in bed next to Tsukimi and falls fast asleep cuddling you into me waking up early at 5:30AM seeing Sakuto making breakfest.


"Your up early Zero" Sakuto looked at me with an eyebrow raised.


"I know, I always exersise this early" I reply sighing wide awake enjoying the sleep I had next to tsukimi


 
(yew dere? I miss yeww

**OOC: sorry I was babysitting and visiting with my older brother . Posting now. **

Smoke.


In my lungs.


I'm coughing, crouched down low. Flames lick the ceiling, scorching the small room I'm in.


A laugh.


Low and dry. It twists my insides.


I'm small.


Just a child.


Crawling crawling. Searching.


Mom?


Dad?


The laugh again.


Footsteps, coming towards me.


Through the flames.


Arms are around me, black clothing covering my face. I open my mouth to scream but no sound comes out.


I try again.


And again...


I wake up with a jolt. Lungs tired, and throat dry. My own high-pitched wails are what shook me out of the nightmare. Sweat licks my body, my clothing slightly damp from the night prior.


I search frantically on the bed for Zero, heard almost ramming into my teeth.

 

[Sakuto]

I heard Tsukimi's screams and wails and I ran up stairs and hugged you immideatly.


"Hey you alright??" I ask then realize her heart was beating fast and was sweating. "Its ok, It was only a dream, I'm here now" I say as I get in bed to cuddle you against me and rub her back to calm Tsukimi down and gives an amazing back massage as well

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

**OOC: do you think I can get a little more detail? I really like the plotline, but I feel like I'm giving you really good posts and yours end up being really simple and short v.v


I don't really get to know much about Zero. Does that make sense?**


I bury my face in Zero's chest. His hand slowly running up and down my back to calm my breathing.


I feel embarrassed and weak.


"It was so vivid." I breathe, blue and red eyes meeting his.


I take a deep breath, throwing the blankets off my body to cool the sweat from my skin. I try and agree with him, to grasp the fact that it was just a dream.


A harmless figment of my imagination.


Yuuno and Rinn arrive to Sakuto's home minutes before, having watches Zero spring into action at the first noise that escaped from Tsukimi's room.


Rinn glances at his Sense with a look of puzzlement. "The attack really messed her up."


"What a baby." Yuuno scoffs, chewing on the end of a popsicle stick.

**posted that without finishing sorry I'm editing.

 

[Sakuto]

(Yea Im messaging mostly On my phone im sorryy DX)

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

**I am too! xD


I always am on RPN on my phone. That's why you'll always get a reply from me lol!! Edited by the way!!**

 

[Sakuto]

I growl at them .


"You two have possibly no emotion torward a fellow comrade that saved your life! She has been trough alot, all of us has but her the most and you need to treat her with the utmost respect, just because we are all genin doesnt mean we need to disrespect one another" I growled as my Eternal Mangekyo was activated as If I was going to place them under a genjutsu.


Zero is very sensitive especially when it comes to his comrades, He would protect those he loves even if his life was at stake Just like his father did before the "Accident" A.K.A The Ice villages betrayal. Zero pretty much raised himself after his father died and his mom was sickly who died during the demonic attack.


"Alright everyone calm down, Ive made breakfest for everyone" Sakuto walks upstairs.


"Sakuto Bring mine and Tsukimi-Chan's food up here. Im eating up here with her" I say smiling as sakuto agrees and goes downstairs.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Yuuno shuts up immediately, her brows furrowing deep.


Rinn stared, mouth agape. "Wh.... what the hell did I do??" His offended tone cracked, and he slumped on the floor in front of Sakuto's table to eat breakfast.


I blink a few times at Zero, thanking Sakuto-Sense for the meal. The scent of the rice, cooked with ham, eggs, and broth makes my mouth water. But the tight knot in my stomach won't loosen.


"Can genjutsu affect memories, Zero?" I ask, before taking a bite.

 

[Sakuto]

"Depends the genjutsu why?" I ask looking at you my Eternal mangekyo still active and I play with Tsukimi's soft, silky hair then going back to eat more of sakuto's deliciously cooked food

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

That was all I needed. It was possible that Mei was using some form of genjutsu to block certain memories and emotions from ever breaching the surface of my mind.


Why?


I stare at Zero's eyes for a moment, the sickening black and red hues making my stomach tie. "You've seen a loved one die..." I said softly, without even thinking. As soon as the words escaped my lips I wish I could have eaten them right up.


No one likes to reopen old wounds.

 

[Sakuto]

"Yes, and how the Uchiha Gain the Eternal is to fuse the Eyes of someone else who had Mangekyo, I got this...because of my fathers eyes...I transplanted his into my own, Ive seen things through his eyes as well" I say softly tears streaming from my eyes. "However, I live knowing the future can be saved and changed. Once we defeat Zaku, we will bring Mei back.." I add whiping the tears ans i hold Tsukimi closer to me.


"I promise" I say with a Smile


 
Ooc: yew dete?

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

**OOC: yeah I'm here sorry dealing with a lot of shit. I can't keep it together today. **

 

[Sakuto]

OOC: Its ok I understand

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

**OOC: I have BPD and PTSD and I'm just having a hard time today. I'll try and get a post to you soon, I'm just trying to keep myself out of my own head. **

 

[Sakuto]

OCC: Awww I understand I have BPD, ADHD and anxiety

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

**OOC: holy fuck really?? I haven't actually been fully diagnosed. My psychologist says I have too many symptoms to make a clear diagnosis. So I could have BPD or a form of Bipolar or Personality disorder, but it's for sure that I have PTSD.


That's crazy....**

 

[Sakuto]

OCC: Yea, Its a Hard life especially being bulled from Kindergarden - 10th grade. Having mental break downs in special ed classes and crying from them

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

**OOC: I wasn't bullied that badly, just in 7th grade.


But yeah... crying sucks and so does having impulsive behavior. It's hard for people to understand, especially when I switch from acting one way to another so quickly.


Are you in school still??**
