Mai's POV

I was bleeding badly and running. That's all I remember. From what? That's what I don't remember. Something in my mind just kept telling me to run.

AN HOUR BEFORE

"Man this is boring!" I turned my lifeless rusty red eyes to my only friend. He was complaining about how the work was boring. I managed a small smile at his childish shout out. Tora had his eyebrows furrowed and was trying to finish the work.

"Tora," I softly called out. He looked at me with his hazel eyes. "We can finish this tomorrow. Right now we have to do patrol." He nodded and stood up. I got up and looked up at him. He was a head taller then me and he had a tan complexion with mousy brown hair. He was slim but not to the point where he was buff. I always felt safe when I was with him. I never knew why.

"Well let's go patrolling then!" He grinned that goofy crooked smile and dragged me outside to the forest.

Tora's POV

I stopped at the forest with Mai and turned to look at her. She was looking at me with her red eyes and her face filled with confusion. I smiled my goofy smile that she likes and said "What? I wanted to get out here and away from that stuffy room."

She made an 'oh' face and then smiled. She turned and started our patrol and I went after her. I looked at her when she was brushing aside her bangs. She had a fair complexion. Not tan like me but not white either. Her long brown hair was tied up into a ponytail for the patrolling, she was petite and wore our usual uniform and her headband tied on her left arm. She was wearing her everyday attiar but she looked really pretty right now.

"Mai, do you wanna know why I became your friend?" She looked back at me and said yes. "It was because even though you were really quiet and didn't stand out, You were very kind and didn't let anybody push you around. Plus I um... thought you were... cute at the time..."

I looked away blushing wondering how she would take it. She would always ask why but I never told her until now. I felt something tackle me and saw that it was Mai. I smiled and hugged her back.

Mai's POV

"Thank you Tora." It came out muffled since I was speaking into his chest but he got the idea.

"Aw look at the sweet couple~ It sickens me!" A venomous voice said. I quickly let go of Tora and got ready. He did the same thing.

"Show yourself!" I heard leaves shaking behind me so I turned to that direction and saw a sound village ninja. There was another bush shaking but Tora took that side. The one before smirked before saying sweetly but at the same time threateningly,

"Now if you want to live then show us the records room and you love birds can leave. If not then we have to kill you."

"Then kill us because we won't give up the location."

I started running away from the village hoping Tora would get the hint to lead them away from our village. Thankfully he got the hint and started going the same direction as me. When we lead them a good ways away from the village, we stood our ground and started to fight. It started out good but it slowly started becoming worse. There were at least 7 of them but they kept disappearing into the shadows only to come out at a different location. Tora was bleeding in several places and was moving sluggishly. One of the sound ninjas hit him real badly and my eyes widened as he fell to the ground.

"NNNOOOOO!" Something in me clicked and I screamed loudly. I turned on my kekkei genkai and cat ears and a tail popped out. I gained whisker like lines and my smell became better. I hunted every ninja down and was about to kill the last one when someone grabbed my wrist. I looked behind me to see a bloody and battered Tora.

"Enough Mai. You wiped them out. We need this one for interrogation." I quickly calmed down and my kekkei turned off.

"You will never get information!" A voice came from around the forest. I quickly turned on my kekkei again and got ready to fight. But we were tired and lost a lot of chakra. We quickly lost and had to run. I smelt the air and smelled the leaf village not far from where we were.

"Tora let's split up and go to the leaf village!" As I split from him and started running to the village I blackened out after something hitting me in the head.

NOW

I was bleeding badly and running. That's all I remember. From what? That's what I don't remember. Something in my mind just kept telling me to run. As I was running I tried to remember what happened but all I can remember is a guy named Tora Kobayashi, that my name is Mai Fuyu, and that I needed to get to the Hidden Leaf Village.

I finally reached the gate of the Leaf Village and I just stood there trying to catch my breath and trying to keep the black dots from dancing around.

"Are you ok? What's wrong?" A guard came towards me asking. I looked up to him and said

"I... I..." and I fell forward towards the ground blacking out.
