In the darkness of night illuminated figure walked among trees. He looked around searching for any semblance of life. Saba's eyes flashed with bluish light while he searched around.
"Nothing so far and trees are not exactly see through, so it makes everything harder"
After few minutes of moving and checking Saba saw some skeletons in weird position.
"Huh? what a weird way to sleep."
"#Wait what? Huh? what do you mean???#"
"Here, look at it"
"#huhh??? wait X-ray, hold on let me see#"
"let you see? I mean we do share same sense"
"#Hold on, I see... so that how X-ray works#"
"$Oh damn cool, this like cheat skill that let's you undress people$"
"#"...Honestly, I feel somehow disgusted about myself"#" - said Saba and Snaky together
"$What? You guys were so loud that even I woke up$"
"Well as a saying goes, Two heads are better then one. And I have three. But I am not sure how useful the third one is" - Said Saba while looking at Orochimaru
"$Hey! As far as I know, the most useless one here is you!$"
"#EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!#"
"Fuk my life, I am being abused by my own limbs"
"#Anyway, look here the problem is that the bones you saw are literal bones, it is dead animal that has been there for a quite long time probably#"
"$Ye let's go search for another one$"
"sigh..."
Saba went further and tried to search for some animals to hunt. But it was hard for him to sneak behind them as he was like torch shining through forest, alerting nearby animals.
"#This is going to be tough...#"
"Oh wait shhh!!" Saba saw a what looked like a sleeping bunny in front of him. The little bunny was hidden well but thanks to X-ray it was easier to discover him.
'$Ohh Jackpot, I think that bunny was very tired, that is why it is not waking up even though we are like shining lamp$'
'#Niiiiceeee, Okay, we must be careful and slowly approach it.#'
Saba crawled on ground and approach bunny very slowly. Little by little Saba was getting excited. But this excitement was making his illuminating body to shine even more. Slowly rising temperature around him.
'$Honestly I prefer crawling inside wet caves, Not on the FReAKIN GROUND$'
The sudden change in air disturbed sleeping bunny and it woke up. It was very confused. Was it already morning? or was it just a dream? why was bright light that shines beautifully in the morning slowly approaching it, as if mother's warm paws were trying to embrace it... but soon it saw what was behind the so called morning light, it was snake, giant snake that approached behind it. Bunny was on high alert now. It instincts were screaming, it's legs started kicking and it tried to jump away. But sadly it was too late. The so called "motherly paws" already got it embraced. And it could not move anymore.
"Heck YEA!!! We got a bunny" -Said excited Saba
"$Okay Just get up now for fakkk sake$"
"#Well that is good but we should calm down a little, Orochimaru you too. Don't your remember the sudden emotional change might effect us right?#"
But before Saba realized all of this. It was too late. He now smelled something burning.
"#$ugh... that... poor little thing$#"
Saba understood what happened even without looking at his hand. He understood that he messed up big time. He pulled his hand down and sneaked peak at his hand, Not wishing to believe what happened.
"NO!!! CAESAR!!!! " - Cried out Saba
"#Dam you already gave it a name?#"
"$I mean it is not crushed... it just uhh... little burned?$"
"#My friend where I come from, We call that a coal at best and a fuel at worst#"
Because of all this emotions, Saba's power went out of control and burned... or we can say cremated already the little bunny that he just caught and in just a few moments only flakes of ash were left from poor thing.
"Oh... well lesson learned. Time to go for little bigger target now"
"#$Sudden positivity... did he go insane?$#
"$I mean if you had talking dick... and snake tail... I mean who wouldn't? $"
Saba took a moment to clam down and lower intensity of light and heat released from him. Soon illumination lowered to previous levels and He activated X-ray vision again.
"Let's go"
Saba went further into forest where he could find more skeletons through his X-ray vision. Many of them where disorganized or shattered, but some where moving. Night was also a bit of a problem. Firstly most animals were sleeping in their nests, which often is below the surface and X-ray wasn't really effective seeing through the ground and even if it was, he couldn't catch them.
There were quite a few animals who were active at night, but they either were flying or really good at hiding.
"#We need to find something a bit big, doubt those small rodents will be enough#"
"$Maybe just start something small? Like not cremating whatever we catch?$"
"Look I think we got jackpot!!!! Well a bit weird bunny, but at least its as big as medium sized dog" -Saba said with some excitement, while moving closer to creature.
"#Control your emotions man, you'll alert this... Horned bunny?#"
Unfortunately for Saba rabbit like creature noticed him, because of light fluctuations coming from him and turned its head and looked straight into Saba's eyes. Saba deactivated his vision and took better look at animal. It was definitely not "normal" rabbit. First of all it had horns that go over its head, it had dark blue fur except around its neck, which had greenish colour.
"#Look at its eyes, they seem to hold intelligence#"
The moment Snaky said this Horned rabbit turned around and ran. Saba also ran after the rabbit almost immediately.
"Shit, this lil cunt is fast" - Saba ran after the rabbit.
Despite seemingly greater speed Saba had hard time catching up with the animal. Every time he got close horned rabbit changed direction that forced Saba to lower speed. It became increasingly obvious that Saba had a small issue with his dexterity.
"#Weird the rabbit definitely has ability to loose us but it noticeably slows down when you have to#"
"And? How is that going to help me?"
"$ He means that unholy lil shit is messing with us!! $"
Hearing this Saba's expression morphed to ugly frown. This horned thing wanted to play? Alright he will definitely fuck it up.
As if getting second wind Saba accelerated and got lot closer. Seeing this rabbit ran faster straight towards big tree.
"#Wait, slow down!!#"
Snaky tried to warn Saba, but it was already too late. The moment horned rabbit got close to tree it made sharp turn that shouldn't be physically possible. Next second....
Boooom!
Saba rammed into the tree with such a force that sound of impact travelled hundreds of meters around him.
After few seconds dust settled and Saba could be seen sitting in front of tree with sizable burning scar. His face darkened, but his eyes become brighter shade of red.
"Fuuuuuk" - Roared Saba with frustration clearly in his voice.
His fury caused interesting reaction, it was as if his hair and body itself ignited, temperature around him rose drastically.
Hiiihehehe
Then something like laughter was heard in area.
Saba slowly turned his heads to source of the voice and what he saw enraged him even more, to the point that flames around him slightly shifted in colour, becoming shade of yellow.
"Not only this bastard didn't run, it has audacity to mock me?"
"#We need to calm down, we can't achieve anything with emotions running amok!#" - Snaky tried to reason with Saba
"$Nah fuck it I want that wannabe joker dead!!$"
Saba looked at rabbit like it was his mortal enemy. While Horned rabbit looked at Saba, with ridicule in its intelligent eyes, from few meters of distance between them.
Then - Hiiihehehehee - weird laughter could be heard again.
That was straw that broke last bit of restraint in Saba. He glared at creature and pushed all power he could muster towards his eyes.
"BE GONE BASTARD!!!"
Next moment blazing heat burst out of his eyes and gone towards laughing rabbit. Creature couldn't even react to incoming attack.
BOOOOOOOM
Dust and flames surrounded place where horned rabbit stood. After few seconds Saba saw incredible sight.
"Holly mother of God! The hell is this?"
"#Well rabbit is gone. At least half of it#"
"$HAHAHA! Now that's what I like to call fire power!$"
Only thing that was left from the rabbit was its lower torso that was on fire getting cooked, but that's not all, ground after the creature was scorched and tree caught fire.
"#How are we going to get food now? Why in the god's name you had to do this?#"
"First of all I was pissed and secondly I.... I don't know. The problem is I can't make my body not glow" - Saba said with frustration.
"$Well if you glow in dark, which lets prey see you, why don't you make environment bright? You'll blend in better$"
"#That's not how it works..... Wait that's genius!!#"
"Hahah I see, let there be light then!!" - Saba said with sinister laugh and placed his burning hand on different tree.
