Athickyer of snow and icecovered the formerlypeaceful valley.Her attempt atevaporatingher enemy ... slightly backfired.The avnche buried everything, forests, trees. It didn''t matter, thesnow turned the valley into a silent graveyard. Lesser mortals would have been overwhelmed bythe avnche, but not Asami.
In her infinite wisdom, however, Asami erected a shield, a purple dome of multipleyers of chakra, a cathedral of light, to protect her cute little sister from the masses of snow.Thesnow formed a cavern, protecting, shielding,shelteringthemfrom theharsh world. The snow wasn''t herenemy. The snow was themfriend, peaceful, calm, serene, pristine, silent.
Darknesslimited her vision, but apurple me, her child, illuminated the improvised cavern.Herpurple will-o-wispwas floatingthrough the air,dancing. Her mejumpedaroundin joy, much to Asamiannoyance.This was definitely going too far.Her chakrawas yful. Moody. Curious. Stubborn. Greedy.Sly. Envious. Proud. Petty. Where did her chakra get thesebad habits from?
“...” Asami gave her childan icy stare.Stop this nonsense.
“...” Her meobeyed and shrank.Her pitiful purple melooked saddened,dejected.
Asami sighed, relenting.“Forget it. Do whatever you want.I don''t care.”
“...” The purple me rejoiced and resumed its activity with new vigour.
In the meanwhile, Asami spotted Tobi down below huggingher legs. “Tobi, what are you doing?”
“...” Tobi gulped. “Arethe evil people finally gone, senpai~?”
Asami merely nodded. “Tobi, why are you hugging my legs?”
“...” Tobi hesitated, fidgeting. “Ehm, well, evil people scaring Tobi and giant avnche ... Also, senpai~ has pleasant fragrance. So Tobi decided to hide behind Asami-senpai~. Senpai the safest ce in the world! Senpai protecting Tobi when in danger.”
...
...
...
Asami sighed in exasperation. “Seriously, Tobi, how did you ever manageto join Akatsuki with youcklustre credentials?”
Tobi scratched his cluelesshead. “Tobi has no idea.Pain-sama was recruiting...”
“Senpai~, look. Look, what is this?”Tobi changed the topic, pointingather me. Childishgleefilled his eyes. Hefound a newtoy.
“...” Asami and her me exchanged questioning nces. The existence named Tobi confused them both. His stupidity defiedmon sense.
Tobi marvelled at her me. “Senpai, can I touch it?”
Asami clicked her tongue. “Tobi, don''t even think about ...”
“...” Tobi poked her me.He poked, and poked, and poked.
He pokedher me. Apparently, he had a lot of fun.
“Tobi, ... stop ... poking ... my me.”
Tobi protested,“But ... But ... But ... The meis cute and fluffy. Just like senpai ...”
“Ouch.” Tobi jolted up in pain, rubbing his finger. “Senpai, your evil me attacked me.”
Asami rolled her eyes and dismissed his im. “Sure.”
“I swear the me... Ouch.”
“Ouch.”
“Ouch.”
“Help me, senpai~! Help me! Tobi under attack!”Tobi ran in circles, hunted by a furious will-o-wisp. Her purple me chased and attacked him.
Tobi hid behind Asamiand cowered in fear. “Senpai, please,help me! Theevil fire spiritattacks Tobi!”
...
...
...
“...” Asami gave Tobi a painful reminder.Her fist struck.
“Ouch.” Tobi rubbed his abused head.
“Idiot, stop poking my child,and you will be fine.” Asami red at him before dedicatingher attention to the girl. Her condition was critical.
Asami ced the girl on the ground and snapped her fingers to light a fire. The cavern was cold.
Tobi warmed his freezing hands at her improvised bonfire. He was happy. “Warmth.”
Asami removed the girl''s clothes and examined her state. Her breathingwas erratic, her pulse weak, her temperature low,her blood loss significant. The girlhad tobestabilised. Immediately. Time was of essence.Unfortunately, she didn''t know any medical ninjutsu, but a solution was needed.
Asami unholstered a kunaiand closed her eyes. Her grip was tight. Desperate times required drastic measures.It was time to take agamble. It was time to trustin her blood.
Her kunai cut her wrist.Her blood heeded her call,shimmering vivid red with tracesof purple. This wasn''t mere blood. Thiswas more.Enriched with the purest form of chakra, her blood was her catalyst. Powerful, potent, vigorous.
Herblooddrippeddown. Droplet after droplet covered the wound. She would save the girl.Her blood proved effective. The girl''s woundhealedundera purple glimmer.
Asami cleared the remaining blood from her wrist,while Tobi was hidingin the corner, shivering.
Asami raised her eyebrow. “Tobi, why are you ...”
“Senpai~using evil blood magic.” Tobi pointed his using finger at her. “Senpai in truth evil witch disguised as little girl.Poor Tobi next victim of her evil machinations.”
...
...
...
Asamired, hardly moved.“Tobi,...shut up.”
