''Hmph, I vonder how Triton's cookink is comink alonk?"

I was starving and I wasn't afraid to admit it, it had been far too long since my dietary needs were met. Nearly a week had passed since I last feasted on the flesh of a big, warm blooded victim and it was honestly starting to get on my nerves. The shakiness, the visions and that annoying grumble that my stomach made only served to piss me off further, as if my siblings childish antics weren't enough already.

''Triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiton, do ve hafe a meal for me yet~?"

I asked myself as I rolled over one of the large rocks that dotted the area. He sure picked a lovely spot for a picnic, though the large, open spaces and grass didn't lend itself well to a slaughter floor. ''Oh, vhat do ve hafe here?" I giggled maniacally under by breath as I spotted the freak that my brother was inspecting. What was it? A mutant? Some form of clansmen? I wasn't sure, but whatever it was I wanted a slice of it.

As I quickly approached the boy, coming in from behind him at a distance roughly 25 meters long, I quickly closed the gap and waved my arms about at Triton, alerting him to my presence before our guest would hopefully notice me. ''Is zhis our meal?" I mouthed at him, my eyes vigilantly staring at the other person in case I needed to stop myself. But, of course, I needed to make a proper introduction, and considering I was a mere 5 meters away from them now, I thought now would be the perfect chance.

''Hello zhere, brozher! Vhat is zhere to eat? I'm starvink~"

''Ja, vunderbar."

I exclaimed internally as dear Uncle gave me his proposition, the idea of leaving this dusty, rocky shit hole of a country appealing to every fiber of my being. Without the need for words, I simply nodded towards my senior, before turning around and facing the rest of the group. They were quite content go and play, talk and just generally be kids from the looks of things, but that wasn't going to sit well with me, goodness no. I needed assistance.

''Uncle Sebastian, ve are going to go get me somezhing to eat, ja?"

Was all I said before walking towards my group of siblings, a hand raising in the air to wave off whatever it was that they were doing. ''Kids, pay attention, ja? Okay, vhat is going to happen is.. you vill stay vith herr kessel and do as he says. Vhether you stay here or go somevhere else is irrelevant, but ve vill meet back here in.. say, a veek? Ja?" Yelling loud enough for them to hear, I smiled and waved at Aleksander before approaching the boy quickly, the odd spring in my step giving away my sparkling optimism.

''Hey zhere, little termiten. You are going to come vith me and Uncle Sebastian! Ve've got plenty of people to kill~"

Scooping the boy up from the ground, I hugged him close and began shuffling back to Sebastian, a rare sparkle in my eye. ''As for the rest of you, do as you're told. If I find out about any insubordinate actions, I'll kill you myself, got me?" Cold as ever, I turned back momentarily and shot them a wide smile in hopes of removing any doubts they had, though I wasn't so sure they could read it.

''Okay, come vith me."

I murmured sternly as I paced past my Uncle, my adorable little half brother in tow as I hurriedly paced towards the exit of the town. This was going to be fun.

''Hm? V-Vhat?"

I was as confused then as I am now, the reasoning behind what transpired still alluding me, though I often put it off as being destiny. Hah, who was I kidding? Regardless of the reason, the wolf began to approach me, the first taste of flesh seemingly convincing it of my authenticity. As I went in for another bite, it hurried over and squirmed beside me, its teeth opening in a slow, deliberate manner before biting down into his forearm. Once he had sunk his teeth in, he turned his head and ripped away a large chunk, which he happily gulped down.

''A-Aah.. I get it, ja."

Sticking my unkempt nails into the grass for leverage, I leaned in and sunk my much smaller teeth into my meals bicep, a feeling of euphoria taking me over as his blood filled my mouth. With the taste of sweet, delicious iron filling my head, I turned swiftly and ripped a large portion of his flesh away, the slippery, cold meat sliding down my throat with the same enthusiasm as before, the taste of it and the suddenness of my ingestion even bringing about a quiet burp from my childish throat.

Before too long, my partner and I had gotten into the full swing of things, our blooded maws ripping into and swallow select portions of my victim, my wolf companion even going as far as to bite into his ass, which gave me quite a chuckle. Before dawn stretched over the horizon, all that remained of the man was select bits of dirtied or melted flesh and our bodies lounging ontop of it, cuddled together in a strictly practical embrace.

''Eeeehh, close zhe curtains, mozher."

I grumbled as I pushed my makeshift blanket to the side, my forearm blocking the sun. ''And vhy is it so hot in here?" Unaware of my surroundings, I sat up and rubbed the last few specs of sleep from my eyes, before realizing where I was. Shrugging my shoulders, I passed it off as another outdoors camping trip, my brother likely the warmth beside me. ''Hey, Triton. Vhy vere you on me? I didn't say ve could cu--.."

''VHAT?"

I was shocked and utterly disgusted by what I saw, why was I lounging on a corpse of all things? No, more so, why was I lounging with a wolf of all things? Where was my brother, my family or my blanket? I couldn't grasp it, but the shaking and shuddering of my little arms gave it away, the blood that dried on my skin and lips were even more of a sign. Did I.. kill this man?

''Vake up, vake up! You're hurt, please.. pl-please get up.. I didn't do anything, I couldn't stop him!"

Shaking the man back and forth using what little of his clothes remained, I began sobbing and wiping my tears against his back. It was pathetic, really. Looking back on what had happened, I was such a weak little boy, so concerned with helping people and making sure they were alright, but no longer. As my little hands moved away from the corpse and up to my face, I took one breath and murmured but a few words.

''I'm.. I'm not human."

FLASHBACK END

''AHAHAHAHAHAHA, and zhen I said ''Oh no, vhy am I hurting so much? Vhy is my stomach so full~"?"

Snapping out of my nostalgic haze, I wiped the tears from my eyes and stood from the tree I had rested myself again. It was a beautiful story, for sure, the tale of an upstart young man realizing his full potential, but that story wasn't over, no. It was simply the prologue.

''Look out vorld, I'm a happy, Kusagakure citizen vith stars in my eyes and a hunger for thighs, JAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!"

Merrily screaming my words, I skipped away from my temporary lodging and back down the road, the stiffness of my body attested to my lack of feeding, which was only made more obvious by the loud, gurgling grumbles of my stomach.

''Oh? You are hungry? Ja, I vill get you somezhing to eat, lets go~"

''I'm sorry for zhis.. I'll promise to be GENTLE, AHAHAHAHA."

Squeezing the first thing I could grab, I watched the man reflexively reach for my shoulder to push me away, the scared look in his eyes exciting my younger self greatly as I began yanking at what I assumed to be his small intestine. With a few tugs, his actions got more hurried, his fingers desperately clawing at my bare skin before I halted them, my small hand batting him away.

''Zhere is a reason.. zhat ve met today, do you vant do know vhat zhat reason vas?"

Before the soldier man could articulate a response, I stuffed my hand in and then quickly tore a chunk of his flesh out, the small tube of flesh that became disjointed like a hose from the rest of his body had already starting its stream of hazardous fluids onto his leg, which I made sure to steer clear of. As the guttural screams of the man filled the air, I shook my head, the feeling of his torment beginning to familiarize itself with me already.

''Oh hush, don't be a baby.. or do, here, hafe a dummy~"

Tearing more of the tube out, I watched his eyes roll back in sheer pain as I brought the tube up to his mouth, the length of it astounding me before I stuffed it into his mouth, the fluids from his intestine pumping itself into him like a recyclable source of water, the silent sizzle of his flesh alerting me to its effects: it was an acid!

''Ve are here.. to suit my needs, ja? You are my first, you should be proud."

But alas, before I could finish my monologue, he had already began choking and wheezing, the faintest glimmer of life in his eyes fading away. It was such a waste, too, since in my youthful haste I didn't even take the time out to enjoy it, I only got a few fleeting moments of enjoyment before my toy had broke. How shameful.

''Nooo, my toy broke. Jeez, I hate zhese pansy soldiers, ve need to fortify zhe roads, ahahahahahah!"

Leaving my little baby's pacifier in his mouth, I moved back and began observing my handiwork, the blood that remained spilled on the ground soon being met by the acidic flow from his intestines, though it didn't worry me that much, it was in my blood. As I pondered the repercussions, or rather, the lack of them, I distinctly recall feeling a brief feeling of panic, we were quite close to the road, weren't we?

''Come along, big boy. I vant some along time."

Cracking my girlish knuckles, I grasped the man by his legs and began pulling him away, the katana and knapsack on the ground falling victim to a swift kick, which propelled the two out of sight. I was going to have some fun with this!
