Creators The project: Arena of darkness

(For the boss rush project I’m apart of. This is my stage and my fight. I’m just gonna double post my part @colorgalaxia made this.)

The portal opened and the trio arrived in a room almost completely secluded in darkness.

“Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again.” Kyuubi happily sang to himself. Sure this may have been a misportal but there was never an opportunity to sing that.

“Are you sure you actually got us somewhere Kyuubi?” Asked Saika. She was having some trouble adjusting her eyes to the dark but was looking around regardless. 

Kyuubi shrugged. “All I was thinking was who turned off the lights, then we ended up here. Who knows, Maybe we’ll get lucky and find someone here.”

“Can you just admit you messed up and get us out of here?” asked Saika. The look on Kyuubi’s face told everything. “You can’t get us out, great.”

“No there is definitely someone here,” said Kuro as she was looking around. “We’re being watched.”

“GET OUT!”

“Who said that?” asked Saika. They couldn’t quite make out the voice. It was almost like the shadows themselves where speaking.

“Leave me alone and get out.”

Kyuubi shook his head. “We can’t do that! Your one of our friends, we can’t leave without you.”

“Liers “

Then with a yelp, Saika was dragged off by multiple shadows. To her, it felt like something was biting like a monster was greeting her.

“Saika!” Kyuubi reacted and pulled his phones flashlight. It was bright enough for the shadow to let go and retreat back. Kuro joined them around their only source of light. 

“Liers all of you. No one is my friend.”

They were being watched on all ends. The figures going at the edges of the light didn’t help matters either. 

“I don’t get this? Which one of us is it?” Asked Saika. She was trying to push everything back that got close with her power. It had some effect but not much.

“You're just proving my point. So much for your little friendship speech. People only bring pain, so if you won’t leave. I’ll just make you.”

The only thing Kuro could really do was hit any creature that got into their light bubble. “This is their domain. I suggest we figure this out soon. Otherwise, we’re not gonna last,” she said while punching another hand away.

Saika grinned while Kyuubi thought about this for a bit. “Ha, I got it. It’s Meghan. Well, guess what, your child isn’t impressed so come out and fight me!” The only response Saika got was a hard slam by a shadow hand.

Kuro tried to get the hand up while Kyubbi got a good look at the outline he could see in the dark. They were wearing a hoodie but they had glasses so it couldn’t be wolf. Though now looking carefully a pair of wings formed behind the figure. There was only one who created something like that.

“Kami!” he yelled just has a hand was about to grab him. The room got a bit brighter as now kami could really be seen now. With that Saika was freed from literally inside the darkness of the hand.

Kami looked almost entirely like a shadow itself. The wings looked pitch black, almost like a dark flame. 

“Figuring out doesn't mean jack shit.” A dark scythe appeared to her side. “It won't help you.”

Kyuubi turns to Saika before preparing a portal to dodge.”You ok?” He asked. From the look on her face, she must have seen something while in that dark.

She wiped the leftover tears from the leftover emotions. “I heard it all in there. There was so much hurt and the most was the feeling of rejection with loneliness. It was surprising that its Kami.”

He turns back to Kami and nods. “Yeah, the last thing she really wants is the be alone. That’s something I do believe.”

The scythe came down in a flash but before it could hit them Kuro stepped in and kicked it out of the way. “Now we really need a plan.”

Saika grins. “Oh I have a plan but Anime might not like it.” She gets the other two down and whispers to them what she has in mind. Kyuubi looks a bit shocked but agrees anyway. 

Kuro nods and goes to take her position. “This better work.” She gives a wave to Kami to distract the main attacks. 

“Hay you may be kami but I can still kick your ass. Come on and fight us!” Saika yelled. Kyuubi braced himself as the shadow snake swallowed them both. 

“Fine, It will be easier to finish all of you this way.”

000000

Meanwhile, Saika put up a telekinetic barrier so that the emotions from this area wouldn’t overwhelm them. 

“So what’s in here?” he asked. “Besides Kami’s emotional issues.”

Saika pointed to the figure huddled in the distance. It’s who she saw last time she was here but she was freed before she could get to it. 

As they got closer, the person could be seen clearly. It was a little girl with very long brown hair wearing a red dress. She was crying so when they approached she got spooked. “Who are you?”

Kyuubi took the first step. “Um, we're trying to help one of our friends and we found you.”

Saika knelt down. “They call me Saika, the guy over there is Kyuubi. All we want to to get rid of this scary darkness and you know save the day.”

The child shook her head. “The dark isn’t scary. Oh um...My name is ###### but my frie..I mean my family calls me Andy. I don’t really have any friends so no one else calls me that, but you can if you want to.” Her eyes bright up at this opportunity.

The other two look at each other in recognition of the nickname. Saika shakes her head in confusion. They could figure this out later.

The area shook a bit. Seems that outsiders can’t stay here for long.

“That's right...it was right.” the child seemed to come to a new realization. “I’m so sorry.”

Kyuubi just shook his head. “You didn’t ask for any of this. None of us did. We just want well..”

“We’re gonna try and save you. So We can leave together. Ok, Andy” Saika extended her hand out to the child. It was kinda weird thinking this was apart of Kami but if this works.

Little Andy just ran up to give the two a hug. Tears in her eyes she just haled on. “I’m sorry guys, I’m so sorry.”

Kyuubi’s eyes just widened. “Wait, do you know us?”

The child nodded. “The one outside is everything that’s bad about me, but I remember. So maybe the one outside can too.”

“Can you come out with us?” It wasn’t a bad thought in Saika’s mind but if the fight had to continue she would bring it.

Little Andy just shook her head no. “I’ll be here when you need me but now that I remember this will be possible.”

The room shook more as the two began to feel like they were being pulled away. Seems their time in there was running out.

The child just smiled. “I’ll see you guys again. I’ll be bigger though and all grown up. See you guys soon.”

“It’s nice to have friends.”

As they were spat out the fight outside was still going on. Kuro seemed to be alright but a bit tired. Though the shadow Kami also seemed to be less intense.

“You must have done something right because our Angel of Darkness seemed to have let up.” Honestly, Kuro was in a distraction game at that point.

Even though Shadow Kami seemed to have weakened she still looked

“It’s funny. You might have been right but you're also wrong. Friends only hurt you in the end. What I’m doing is best.”

Kyuubi’s eyes narrowed. “Kami, who are you talking about?” he prepared a portal just in case.

The shadowed figure of Kami just extended her wings and chuckled with that empty vacant look. “Wouldn’t you like to know? It’s because of liers like all of you that I’m even like this.”

She quickly extended her scythe to strike with a swoop.

Smack

It probably would have cut Kyuubi in half if Saika hadn’t put up a barrier. “You know I’m sick of this! I’m just gonna kick your ass so we can get you back to normal Kami.”

She quickly slammed shadow Kami into the ground repeatedly and just held her there. She was actually surprised this all connected.

Before most of their attacks didn't do anything in this stage but now it just seems like things are going in their advantage.

kuro nodded noticing this and went in with kicks. They connected to, there wasn’t even a block. Like something else was going on with Shadow Kami.

She just laid there, unmoving. She still looked like a shadow come to life and everything was still there. It was just like something else was going on with Kami.

“So did we win?” asked Kyuubi. Honestly, he didn’t know what to expect. None of this was like how they got Saika back.

Kuro sighed. “Now we just wait and see.”

000000

Inside the two sides of Kami or Andy just stared at each other. The child and the adult, or better put the light and darkness.

“Whatever’s going on doesn’t affect us anymore. We can stop fighting now. You and I both know who they are.” The child just smiled knowing she was right.

All that mysterious power did be split her light and dark and made them forget. Now they both remember there was no point in the child’s mind to keep this up.

“Are you sure? You know how this turned out in the past. We still have our problems, the ones people hurt us for.” The shadow seemed to waver when speaking.

“Yes, but not everyone is like that. Also, there is the person who did this to us. They did that to the others too.”

The shadow nodded and for the first time cracked a smile.”Alright, we’ll do it your way. Though if it’s needed I’m taking over.”

The child just smiled. “It won’t be, because we are gonna save our friends.”

As they merged she no longer looked like a child but was her regular adult self. Even had her favorite pink hoodie an everything.

Kami agusted her glasses and smiled. “Time to get going.”

000000

She awoke to all three of them staring down at her. “Eh, guys you can back up now. Hope no one messed with my save files cuz I do have some games here.”

Saika and Kyuubi immediately smiled at Kami acting like herself. It was only now they noticed the room brighter. In the corner were a game system and tv.

Kyuubi extended his hand to help her up. “Nice to have you back Kami.”

She smiled. “Yeah, now do you guys have a better idea on what’s going on?”

“Wait, you know something?!” Saika asked. That would be a first considering she couldn't remember a thing for her own experience.

Kami shook her head. “All I know is that someone separated the two aspects that you saw and made both halfs forget.”

“Well, at least we know it was someone doing this right?” Kyuubi was trying his best to remain positive on the situation.

“The others will probably be in similar states when we find them too. So are you coming along Kami?” Kuro asked.

Kami grinned. “Hell yeah, I am. Sure there was a time when I wanted nothing to really do with people but you guys are my friends. I try to hold on to things like that when I have them.”

“Then it’s settled. Kyuubi, try and get the portal right this time.”

He sighed at Saika as he opened up a new portal. “Hey, I lead us to Kami didn’t I.”

This seems so much better than our usual discord chats. Maybe after this is all said and done we could hang out a little. Still...It’s nice to not be alone anymore.

@kakashiobitos i hope youre prepared. you asked for it so dont complain afterwards

but yeah lets talk about kakashi’s various coping mechanisms this will be fun

first one is obviously kid!kakashi’s total rejection of his own emotions following sakumo’s death (kakashi no) and therefore rejection of just anyone’s emotions especially obito’s (who is so emotional and kind and if faced with a choice between his team and the mission he would definitely choose the team and Die one way or another) (we’ll get back to his projection problem later bc this is a whole other issue he has) mixed with typical kakashi “this is a memento of my father” hatake hypocrisy

because if there is one thing kakashi cant do, ever, its letting go

dad died ? let me just bury all my emotions and pretend i manage to not feel stuff while also keeping a piece of my dad with me at all times

obito died ? and gave me his eye ? oh geez i guess im gonna have to fuCKING ABSORB HIS PERSONALITY AND BECOME THE ULTIMATE FRANKEN-NINJA oh and lets not forget about how he spent half his life in front of the memorial stone

im... actually kind of suprised i dont find any for rin but i guess a mangekyou kind of makes up for this wait nevermind i forgot about ANBU, obviously the best way to cope with someone’s death is trying to get yourself killed in S-class missions haha (he probably falls back into hand-washing in dire times i think tbh)

kakashi no

but seriously his absorption of obito (of his idea of obito) is. scary. and like, the way its handled in gaiden is. so g o o d kishimoto did not fuck around with the gaiden. he fucked around with a lot of things but not the gaiden but yumi we dont see kakashi absorbing obito’s personality in gaiden - no youre right we just see hiM COMPLETE HIS SIGNATURE JUTSU WITH OBITO’S EYE, PREFIGURATING THE WAY HES GOING TO ACT HIS WHOLE FUCKING L I F E

im fine this is fine

so about his projection issues - where do i fucKING START

i already mentioned sakumobito before, but let me just add that obito never gives up why does he never give up why did sakumo give up but not obito it makes kakashi so goddamn angry

but really no projection issues could ever prepare him to the absurdity that is Team 7. like. who thought it would be a good idea to put kakashi in there. making him an instructor is already a bad idea enough and now you put him with The Cold Genius, The Village Idiot, and The Sweet Girl With A Crush and ask him to keep it together and not fuck it up ? what is wrong with this village for real

(a good thing sakura doesnt actually look like rin that much aside from the crush and medic stuff - which only comes later, kakashi’s hell-brain thanks you)

oh god seeing sask try to kill sakura must have been so terrible for him oh god this is why you dont project yourself onto your students kakashi you never know when one of them might turn into an actual friend-killer

but the worst. the very worst of it all. is narutobito like. he idealises obito so much. and then projects all of it onto nard. “i will kill the current obito and protect the obito of the past” *picture of naruto there* Kakashi my boy this is. not healthy. for anyone (yes i remember this page by heart no im not going to look for it bc im lazy)

(seriously everyone projects their dead loved ones on naruto pls leave the boy alone holy shit how is he supposed to live with everyone’s impossible expectations thrown at him fuck)

also im sure the mask is probably A Thing(TM) because no one keeps the same look for 25 years (and also @ sakumo why is your 4yo son hiding his face he is 4 being a genius ninja doesnt explain everything)

(please let me talk about my headcanon for kakashi’s mask it physically hurts me and its all my friend’s fault)

anyway you wanted to talk about the ninja system ? lets talk about it. in bullet points after the cut bc its going to be Long

first of all this is the same village that let sask live in the compound where his whole family got slaughtered im like 100% sure no one took care of 5yo orphan kakashi who found his father’s dead body after weeks/months of hearing people badmouth said father

what could possibly go wrong

speaking of which why is a 5yo even allowed with weapons, im not even talking about the missions just giving a 5yo weapons is never a good idea

also the Rules are so. fucking. this is a 5yo child why does everyone think him killing his emotions is a good idea

not even talking about the Actual killing

what even happened between the time he passed genin and the time team minato was formed who took care of him was it minato was he working on his own instead of in a team

also chuunin at 6 ? really ? what about the Emotional Maturity(TM) kotetsu and izumo were talking about during shikamaru’s match that a 6yo does definitely Not have

like i get it was war-time but still what the fuck chuunin can lead teams why would you let a 6yo lead a team of people most likely older than him im like 100% sure they wouldnt like it

also a 11yo jounin like. ok. at this point i dont even know why i ask anymore

HE A CHILD KAREN HE SHOULD NOT BE FIGHTING A WAR AND KILLING PEOPLE DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THE EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 

shit soldiers get so many complications from that and you put a child through the same stuff how do you expect him to be even remotely alright

also did anyone take the time to talk with him after obito and rin’s respective deaths

like im not even talking about therapy that im pretty sure doesnt exist in this world but like. did minato know about the nightmares/hand-washing/stuff ? or did he wait until kakashi was Ready To Talk ?

wait nevermind i keep forgetting about the ANBU what the fuck minato you know the child has problems with emotions and you put him thERE ??? minato why

sure let the child who feels guilty for all his friends’ deaths into the squad that does the most danagerous missions im sure this will go well

why would he try to kill himself (or get himself killed same thing really)

nothing can go wrong with this plan

There Is No War In Ba Sing Se

also how old was he ? 13 i think ?

‘dont let the children fight the kyuubi’ yeah sure minato because there are no children getting themselves almost killed on the regular none at all

like he Tried but. i guess when you grow up in a ninja system you have trouble finding the right ideas so. another point to the fucking up of kakashi indirectly this time

who even let kakashi instruct children

who even let kakashi-the-never-child-never-adult instruct children

no i mean seriously if you dont let a child have a childhood theres no way he can grow up correctly and become an Adult(TM)

did no one tell him absorbing the personality of his dead best friend isnt a good idea

gai is the only good thing in kakashi’s life and thats. Bad. gai is a lovely man but seriously why does kakashi have no one else

oh wait theyre all dead

sorry

is kakashi sent on missions underground too sometimes or do they actually have some sense

kakashi is the main reason i believe they dont know therapy in this world

probably dont even have meds

this is stupid mentally sound soldiers are more effective than completely fucked up ones

are there even some studies on the consequences of war ? shell shock anyone ? ptsd ?

the only guys who know some stuff about the human mind are I&T guys and thats not good

this post is already too long i cant talk about Obito AU here sorry
