Letting Go

A Year Later Ruskaina

Shiro was currently chasing a brown bunny. He had been here fighting for about half a year now. Rayleigh for some reason decided to oversee his training. Issho would also come from time to time and they would watch him. Well Issho sensed him rather than see since he didn't heal his eyes yet.

"That's enough let's eat the sun will set soon." Spoke Rayleigh with a sigh but Shiro didn't notice.

After he said that Shiro came to the safe spot and layed down as he looked at the sky. In a world where some Islands didn't possess light it was really a great thing. The night sky in this world would always mesmerize Shiro. Eventually Shiro fell asleep and entered into a deep sleep as he looked at the night sky.

Orphanage somewhere on Earth

" Miss Lin that is the new child that will be in your custody as of today. His name Alex and he's been through a lot. His parents were brutally murdered in front of him. They were people who opposed the current government so the boy claims that gocerment officials killed them. The most sad part is that since his parents had no written will the government decided to take everything. Hearing all of this I trust Miss Lin to take good care of him"

His face held a small smile as he looked at the slightly old woman infront of him.

" Don't worry I'll be sure to care for him mister Erickson. Dealing with Kids are my forte after all. "

" Mn. Then I can leave reassured. "

" I'll see you out "

" No need just be sure to care for the child. " He said walking out along with the woman pointing towards a ten year old boy with a dazed yet calm face.

" Alex this woman will take care of you now. I'll be leaving so you just stay here ok "

Alex didn't reply and just looked at the man with calm eye's. A calm that a child should not have. The man sighed before turning and leaving. After walking a while a cold smile was etched onto his face. What he didn't was that a flash of hate and viciousness flashed through Alex's eye's before being hidden.

"Alex come with me I'll show you to your room" Said the old woman as she motioned for Shiro to follow

Outside the Orphanage

The man who was previously inside talking to the old woman and said goodbye to Alex came up to an all black car. He opened the back door and sat inside before closing the door. Inside the car another man was sitting and drinking wine.

" Is it done. "

"Yes that kid is as good as dead in that place "

" He better be I don't need that kid appearing before the media again. He already cost me some support from voters. Not to mention the money I needed to spend to bribe the media. The only good thing is that his parents savings reimbursed me quite well. With them dead I can surely get back in office at that time I'll surely reward you my dear chief of police. "

" You have my full cooperation mister mayor. "

The chief then exited the car and proceeded to walk to another car for police. Both cars soon drove away

Back in the Orphanage

Alex followed beside the old woman who had a light smile. Eventually after passing tons of doors and no kids they finally stopped at a door. The woman took out some Keys and unlocked the door. After opening it she gestured for Alex to step through. After hesitating a while Alex walked through the door but immediately regretted doing so.

Before he could think straight he felt something sharp poke his neck. After that he felt woozy and then passed out. A few hours later he woke up extremely confused before his eyes widened. He was in a very large room strapped to the wall along with a bunch of other kids and teens who showed lifeless or pained expressions.

Alex tried to get out of the straps but his arms are also tied down along with his legs. He began to panic as fear started to set in. Some of the teens shook their heads and some even laughed.

Click. Creak. Latch

" Oooh. I see my new specimen has awakened. I thought you would sleep for a little while longer. I see everyone else is also awake have you played nicely with eachother. hehehehe. "

The old woman had entered the large room wearing some sort of latex bondage clothes. She walked towards Alex with a twisted smile and everytime she walked past a person she would leave scratches on them with some type of sharp nails making them shiver and sweat. When she got to Alex she picked up a leather whip that sat inside a water tank.

" Now lets see how you scream shall we "

Alex paled and tried to speak but the whip had already made contact with his small body.

" Aarghhhh. rrrrgggghhh. rrrrrgggghhhh. Aaaaaaaahhh. Stop aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh Please. aaaaaaaaah " Alex pleaded some more only to be whipped more

" Hehehehehehe. You started begging already and it was only a warm up. "licks blood off whip" The real fun starts now "

Two years later

In a large where multiple kids are tied to the walls a twelve year old Alex was lifeless. He looked totally different from the healthy kid that walked through the doors of this place two years ago. His hair is now long and ragged he had cuts, burns and scratches all over his body. He was missing an ear and even his face was disfigured. His tongue was even cut out making him unable to talk.

His eyes although lifeless still held hate in them. However this hate was much different as it contained a trace of insanity in it. It was a hate that showed how little one had for the lifes of others and himself. The door opened as the old woman came in with her usual bondage wear. Everyone shivered as she had just left from torturing them. Alex raised his eye's as his eyes sparked with viciousness. The old woman smiled evily at Alex.

" It seems you still have some fight left in you. Want me to play with you a little more. "

" mb ed ld kly tch en ni et ut uf er l eat oo oo er eath n et rses ke ere rn th oo. "

The old lady frowned as although she didn't know what he said bu based on his past words. She knew it was something disrespectful. She smiled evily grabbing a metal stick with a sharp point

" I'll break you even if it takes forever "

She grabbed a lighter from the drawer next to her and lit a fire in a small garbage that was fire proof. She dipped the metal stick inside for a while before taking it and looking at Shiro evily as she licked her lips.

" hehehehehehe Go on say ahhh"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

At this moment Shiro had awoken from his nightmare. His eye's had changed to his golden Rinne-Sharigan. However they began to change as his chakra spiked causing the ground beneath him to crack. Rayleigh had already stood up and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shiro.

Shiros hair had turned from white to golden, his eye's pure white aside from the twelve tomoe constantly spinning in each eye. Golden markings started to cover his face and body as a third eye on his forehead appeared. along with one on each hand. The difference between these eyes though was that from the center a golden twirl spread throughout.

Rayleigh seeing this pulled out his sword as he coated it in Haki. His sighed slightly as he thought ' Did he succumb to the evil in his heart. Wait he's, he's crying. I see the evilness in his hear stems from his past. Wonder what he went through? '

" SHIRO SNAP OUT OF IT "

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A Golden glow appeared around shiro before forming around his hands as large golden gauntlets appeared around them. Shiro in a mindless state attacked Rayleigh who blocked the punch. A portal appeared as Issho with a clone that was holding it's head in pain appeared. 'Seeing' everything Issho frowned and sighed. Pulling out his sword he planned to pin Shiro ro the ground.

However before he could Rayleigh kicked Shiro flying into the forest. Issho wanted to go get him but Rayleigh stopped him.

" Let him vent his emotions. He'll either tire out or come to his senses."

Issho stopped as he too understood this. He was just worried Shiro might succumb to the release or rather pleasure of killing and want more. Most didn't know that killing was sometimes used as way to release the sadness and hate one has bottled up in their heart as it made a person feel good and gave them a rush of excitement. This could have an effect on a persons mind and heart turning them into a blood thirsty killer.

Luckily Rayleigh was right as after Shiro killed a few animals he regained consciousness. He did not stop fighting nor did he stop crying but he dis not kill any further. He punched out his hate for that mayor, the chief of police, the old woman, people in general, the world, the gods, the devils and his own weakness. He cried for his parents, being tortured for three years in that hell hole. And then he smiled it was a happy smile one that wasn't forced nor fake it was a smile from the heart.

He had let go of his past and embraced his future. He was blessed with talent, power, and a system that could take him to different worlds. He was no longer Alex Henderson he was Alex D Shiro Leader of Dawn and he would never succumb to someones torture ever again.
