Well this is chapter 1 I hope you enjoy it....umm if I was in the desert I'd most likely die cause I'd get lost lolzz....please review X3


The searing heat threatened to boil my body from within. I licked my blistering lips, dying for some cold refreshing water. Sweat rolled down my brow like a flooding river. There was nothing for miles, in this desiccated land, only sand and more sand.

'Am I going to die in this horrid place?'

The thought had crossed my mind several times. Yet I still kept going, forcing my body past normal limits. The only thing that seemed to keep my going was the thought of him. I wanted to see him again…to prove I wasn't a burden.

I refused to let something as trivial as the desert slow me down. Had he been here he would have laughed at my pathetic state. I wasn't fit to love him, heck I wasn't even fit to call myself a ninja. Still, I still longed to see his face, even if it was the last time.

The wind suddenly picked up throwing sand in my face. My eyes stung as I sputtered sand from my parched throat. I couldn't take it, my legs gave out and I fell to my knees.

'Why…why me…I wanna go home…I can't take it'

I wanted to scream out and cry until the tears no longer came. However, the heat had long dried up the last of my tears. I couldn't see, breath, everything seemed to blur together into one giant mess.

'This is hell on earth, who'd want to live in this barren place'

Maybe my lack of understanding stemmed from the fact that, I had lived in a completely different environment. I grew up in a small village surrounded by lush forests, and breath taking waterfalls.

I never knew such terrible heat, dry air, and lack of water. I knew in my heart the trouble I would have on this mission. Yet I ignored all those feeling, trying to be optimistic.

The moment he asked me, I knew I couldn't refuse. I was so overjoyed when he acknowledged me; I pushed back all my worries. Now here I was, trapped by my own stupidity and paying the ultimate price.

'I hate sand'

My last thought before I fell, face first into the scorching sand. I could no longer move, not that I tried. It didn't matter anymore I was going die. Heh I bet my parents would be proud, getting myself lost in the freakin desert.
