Chapter Text
Waking up was something dead people weren't supposed to do… So why did i? It was dark. And warm. Occasionally I could hear muffled voices but that was it. I was in some sort of sensory deprivation chamber. Stuck.
I had gained consciousness with a pounding head and no idea who I was as a person, I couldn't remember my family. My pets. My friends? Did I have any? I had no clue. I knew I had died though. And I knew about life before. I knew about technology from before I knew the different cultures. I was fluent in two languages English and Japanese, I knew the humor but I couldn't remember my own name. That was something that bugged me. I knew that the mitochondria was the powerhouse of the cell but not my first pet's name.
Was I in some type of hell? Was I such a bad person that this was what happened to me to punish me for my sins?
I had not a clue. Had I always been in here and everything was a delusion? My mind swirled into a horrid mess of thoughts until all I could do was cry. I cried for my past life I didn't remember living. I cried for anyone past me possibly cared about. I even cried over the fact I couldn't see. But, no matter how much i cried, Not a sound came out. I kicked and punched and tried so hard to scream but. Nothing. It had taken me a while to realize I wasn't actually breathing on my own and that spiraled me into another panic attack inside the confines of my sensory deprivation prison.
Over time my prison grew smaller and smaller and I had come to the conclusion I would most likely die again via being crushed by the horrid walls. I was honestly surprised I hadn't starved. Normally at max the human body can take is 8 to 21 days without food or so I thought. How long have I been here? For all I know it could be a really slow month but it felt like an eternity.
The day that all the fluids surrounding me drained and I began to be squeezed was the day I accepted my own demise. But, alas, I didn't die. The light was blinding and I took my first breath eagerly as if I was a drowning man barely making it to the surface in time. Then, I screamed. I screamed as if I was screaming at all the deities in anger, cursing them out to their face.. I screamed with all the rage, sadness, confusion and relief I felt. It was liberating. Then, I cried. I sobbed and screamed and sobbed some more. An influx of emotions crashing over me like a mighty wave I screamed with all the might of a roaring lion or a large elephant trumpeting. For being so small. I felt larger than life.
"Congratulations Uchiha-san. It's a boy." The nurse says over me making me stop my sobbing fit as she hands me off to a blurry figure of a dark haired woman.
