Forgive me, i just HAD to write this. It's been stuck in my head and eating me alive.
Enjoy. This is sorta Maximum-Ride-y now that i've re-read it... ugh.
No she doesn't have wings xD
I no own Naruto.
A bomb is the loudest thing in the universe.
Especially if it's aimed at you.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions and fire rip the forest canopy to shreds. Overhead, birds screeched and scattered.
Down below, I ran.
Heedless, legs hammering the hard packed dirt ground, feet flying over branches and leaves. Mind racing. Terrified.
Find the goddamn path, Kyo! Find it!
Shapes zoomed by in the black. Trees. Bushes. Startled creatures. Blood thirsty ninja? I couldn't tell. Heart thumping, I barreled forward in a dead sprint. Blind. Stupid.
A root snagged my foot and down I went, spewing colourful profanity. Pain detonated in my leg.
Get up! Get the hell up!
Something large sped past, its dark outline barely visible against the dark leafy backdrop. It was as if light didn't reach the dark recesses of this forest. I leaped up, and pivoted, ignoring the pain in my ankle, taking in a 360 degree view of my surroundings. Fear pumped even more adrenaline into my veins.
Shit. Waiting here means death. Move!
I didn't have a plan. Why should I? Nobody knew who I was or what I was doing. A bomb blasted not even ten feet away from me, granting me a view of a large, white, bird?
What the hell? An oversized chicken is trying to blow me up?
I gulped air.
With all the modifications made to my body, I should be able to run forever. Fast. Tireless. My perfect vision piercing the shadows. Not panting, lost in the vast forest.
This person, or persons, hunting me wouldn't have stood a chance, whoever they are. I would have ripped them to shreds, utterly destroyed them. Stalked them like kittens, and then taken out the trash.
I pressed on, reaching down to my waist and fingering the familiar silvery coils of my whip. I was in trouble, fading, scared shitless. Branches clawed at my limbs and ripped my clothes. Finally, I hit open space. The sunlight was almost blinding, the grass soft under my slipper clad feet.
A clearing? A clearing can save me. Yes!
I swear, I almost punched the air in victory right then. However, my luck wouldn't allow it to be a clearing, would it?
No, it was a cliff.
I reached the edge, and waves of panic jolted through my veins, almost painfully. I almost threw myself over the edge at my speed, but caught myself in time, and skittered back, eyes wild. I heard a rush of wings, and saw the giant bird about twenty feet behind me, its rider poised to throw another bomb.
Wait, rider?
Oh, believe me, if there had been an alternative, I would've taken it. But if you were me, you would've done the same thing.
I took a deep breath and threw myself off of the cliff.
The rest was a blur. I saw blurring brown rock and heard the curses of the bird's rider and the rushing of air. My hands and feet darted out, catching even the smallest cracks slowing my fall a bit each time.
Somehow, I had the strength and sense to draw my whip, and flick the slivery mass toward a somewhat sturdy root, leaving me penduluming about two hundred feet above the ground.
Two hundred feet? Even in my exhausted, physically abused, limited chakra state, I could make it. I yanked hard on my whip, sending me and the chunk of root tumbling toward the ground.
I hit the ground with a bang, literally. Spitting two-toned wisps of hair out of my mouth, I fell back on the ground. Chakra gone, extremely fatigued.
Did I lose him? I can't hear any explosions, I think—
My thoughts were interrupted by an irritated male voice coming from behind me.
"You little bitch, giving me so many problems… catching you was supposed to be easy, hmm!"
"Um…hello." I turned to face a tall, slender, blonde haired, blue eyed man, clad in a black cloak with a distinctive, slightly familiar pattern, glaring at me, standing next to a white bird made up out of a strange substance.
"Leader-sama said that this wouldn't take much effort, but no, having to chase you across three damned villages, hm! Do you ever get tired? I swear—"
Excuse him.
"Shut up." I interrupted.
"You little bitch, hm."
"No, Blondie, shut up." I sighed, "I'm exhausted, and I want to take a fucking nap. If you're going to capture me, I suggest you do it before I run away. I mean come on. I'm standing right here, out of chakra, for God's sake. Do you normally converse with your targets before taking them?"
"Do you normally allow people to capture you so easily, hm?"
Fuck you with a rake.
"Look, Blondie—"
"Who're you calling blondie, hm? Look at yourself, hm!"
I gave him a look that could've frozen water in July.
"I-I'm not easy to capture! I've nowhere to go and not—"
"Che."
Who the hell was this person, and what did he want with me?
"Fuck you! Fuck you very mu—"
His fist met my face and I was overtaken by blackness.
Bye.
REVIEW PLEASE.
