What Remains [OPEN-ish]

WHERE: Just outside Atia’s Temple.
WHEN: December 15th.
WARNING(S): Death, violence, potential swearing?





Blood and chakra and pain, the air is thick with the scent to Kyuubi.

It smells like freedom.

Past the stench of humanity on the island, past the distant echoes of the beast that has come from the sea (Kindred almost, Kyuubi knows, so of course he had no battle with the thing and did not bother to point out to those who fought it that it wanted their freedom as much as they did. He was willing to let them dig their own graves.) Kyuubi feels more free than he has in some time. His senses are once more unlocked and there is life in this place, renewal and a faltering power, just as there is death, but it is the faltering power which has grasped his attention and it was with an inhuman grin and a wave of five tails that he turned his back on the battle ground and headed north, then west.

A message. This is all he seeks to deliver for now. Just a message.

Pay attention to me witch, I wish to speak with you. It will be face to face.

Of course, it is never that simple. It can never be that simple. Kyuubi does not sigh at the conflict he has been met with. It would be giving them too much credit. Although he did make a mistake in assuming that Deidara at least would have more sense…

Brat.

He pauses, watching Sai roll to a bloody stop several metres away and is aware that on the opposite side Deidara is once more struggling to his feet. And he thinks: Stay down or I will kill you.

He knows it is a lie. But Kyuubi does not lie. (at least to none other than himself)

He can smell Sai’s burning skin from here, the poison of the bijuu’s chakra seeping through flesh. Sinks right to the bone, boy, doesn’t it? And that face is a mask, as ever, past the pain and Kyuubi could be impressed but of course he’s not because Sai has not even had him pause in his stride.

His opposition is negligible.

Kyuubi waits until the boy regains his feet, can hear that heartbeat work and work across the distance that separates, struggling around the crushed ribs, and damaged organs. There is blood pouring from that mouth, from that nose and still he stands, still his hands move through the motions of a Jutsu and Kyuubi tilts his head. This will be the boy’s second death by his hand.

A glutton for punishment. Or is it loyalty?

It does not matter. Sai hardly has time to react at the mass of chakra that sweeps up from the earth beneath him because his eyes were on Kyuubi and Kyuubi himself has not moved and Sai’s senses have been beaten to a dull hum of pain by this skirmish. And Kyuubi is still watching, head tilted, eyes narrowed as the heated mass brings Sai to the ground, as it crushes vertebrae and he hears(feels) the bones pop and the intoxicating freedom rebounds at the scent of renewed pain. Kyuubi knows it is exploding like cut glass through Sai, right before his chakra drives home and forces that heart to burst where it lies still trying desperately to beat in Sai's chest.

And the boy rolls once and only once before going still.

Kyuubi does not need to move any closer to know he is dead.

He pauses for just a breath at another life taken, feels no remorse and then cants his head in Deidara’s direction, eyes white hot and empty and he thinks the man will understand.

This is what I can do to you. Human life means nothing to me.

Effortlessly, he moves towards the temple.
