my ; how    amusing    where familiar faces can be found. 

a run-down bar on the outskirts of some never-sleeping town wasn’t exactly a    scene    kimimaro was accustomed to ; but this was about how far his body would let him carry it at this hour at night.    &&    resting outside of it had the potential to create more    attention    than simply letting curiosity peek in the doors. 

he doesn’t remember his    name    ; only his face. another one of the test subjects that kimimaro held a higher status over -------------------- even though quite none of that mattered anymore. not now.    && perhaps not ever.    jade eyes just    s t a r e    from across the room, as if analyzing && storing the memory as he leans against a beam located near the building’s exit. 

❝ ... how interesting. ❞

just a few more meters. get out of this village. he needs to go back to ----------

a pained,    seething    sound escapes his lips,    &&    a palm covers his mouth, coughing fits hindering his ability to move any farther. he knows he’s only making himself    die    faster with every moment he denies medical attention ;    &&    his illness has only progressed since he’s awoken from two years of cold sleep. but that doesn’t stop his willpower to return to his god,    his purpose    in this withering life.

but, he falls to his knees, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth    &&    left in the palm of his hand. how    pathetic.    he can hardly carry his own damn body weight anymore.

❝ damn it. ❞

explosives.    that was definitely an uncommon approach to a fight.

he makes himself    subtle ;    standing in a position where trees covered most of his presence as he simply watches the other in interest. he knows that    cloak    ---------- he’s seen it once or twice before. s-ranked criminals were definitely a    sight to behold,    but kimimaro wasn’t one to get into randomized fights. besides, he was in no condition to.

❝ how amusing. ❞

he’s not much more than a    hollow shell    of a human being ----------    &&    yet people still believe there was hope for him ? it was nonsense ; something he never believed since the day he knew orochimaru was    dead.    his purpose was gone ; he was nothing more than    wasted space    good for nobody    &&    broken beyond repair. waiting in hospital care units just hanging on to life by a thread. 

he’d be fine if he went to sleep that night    &&    never woke up again.

sullen eyes    can’t hide the slowly draining life in him. but, kimimaro wasn’t done yet ---------- he had a duty to fulfill    &&    he needed to be alive for it. breath unsteady, he awaits, but he knows the other won’t    fight back.    this wasn’t a    f i g h t    anyway ; years later, kimimaro most likely looked to be in    worse    shape than the last time he’d encountered this familiar face. 

but he’ll never forget his    words.

what possibly makes a person look scarier ? either the    emotionlessness    they present on their features, or the lack of realization that    b l o o d    slowly descends from his lip ... both appearances have caused people to avoid him as he makes it a casualty to walk through the village, stopping every few steps to stifle a    cough    or confirm he can still balance on his own feet.

                             ❝ -------------------- !! ❞

a    curse    is muttered under tired breath ; for his feet don’t carry him nearly as far as required these days. what previously took    hours    now took days ---------- sometimes weeks to complete. but still, he believes he has a    duty    to fulfill, his life cannot end until that has been satisfied. even if it took him a year to get through a small forest.

sullen eyes ;    sunken into darkness. once such a fateful foe now bore the appearance of a       frail shell of a human. leaning against the tree closest to him, he almost looks as though he’ll fall    asleep    ---------- standing there. he can’t remember how far he’s traveled ; he doubts it was    that far.    but as he deteriorates with calendar days, he only has his    w i l l    to keep him moving.
