I am Ishihara Miira. I am sixteen years old, and I am staring into the face of death.

His eyes are red, and his hair is black. He is holding me by the front of my shirt, a few inches off the ground in between his legs. Death is a cloaked figure, though his skin is surprisingly warm. He seems regretful as he stares at me, but he drops me to the ground and steps back when his partner tells him to leave me.

His voice is deep, and he speaks to the other people in the room. Everything is going so fast, I can only make a few words out. A woman's voice piques up in the corner; one I know well. Is this it? How it ends?

I've been here for about a day now, my ankle on one leg is broken, and my other leg is broken. I am not exactly an amazing kunoichi in the first place, but it doesn't matter; I have almost no chakra left. I can not escape, and I don't seem to have any rescuers coming.

I wish badly to say goodbye to one person in particular. I doubt my kidnappers would be kind enough to pass a message on, if I could even speak. My throat is dry, and rough; and even sucking in breath hurts. I tried to speak a few times, but it's come out in pathetic rasps that I am almost certain death is laughing at me.

He is here again, looming over me. He blinks twice then picks me up, slinging me onto his shoulder. The steps he takes towards the centre of the room are slow and sound heavy. I can hear the low boom of his voice in his chest; my ears are against his back, but I can't make out singular words.

"I hear it's mostly painless." I am sure that's what he speaks.

"You shouldn't lie to her." A woman's voice replies. "Or are you suddenly sentimental?"

"No."

I am then dropped to the cold floor, and I close my eyes. I don't wish to see death reaching his long, ringed finger at me.

My body goes numb a few moments later, and after that I remember nothing.

Disclaimer; I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters. Miira and Miu belong to me however.

Ahh, new story. I had this planned for a while, and couldn't decide what to write; I dug up my text file of this, and decided to start work on it. I hope to update this more, look after me well! Kekeke~
