DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO AND THE COVER IMAGE!

Prompt #1 – Dagger

No. He's lying. He has to be lying.

The Third Hokage had called her to his office and the Inuzuka princess had immediately left the veterinary and had quickly made her way to her destination. When she arrived, she was immediately led to the office. After knocking and hearing a soft 'come in', she walked inside the office.

After some casual greetings, the Third made his point. "Itachi slaughtered his clan and left the village. As his former teammate and friend, I thought it was best if I broke the news to you. I'm sorry, Hana." A dagger had stabbed itself into her back, twisting itself and slowly pushed into her further. It was painful; the feeling of betrayal. The imaginary dagger kept digging further, so excruciatingly slowly.

Her previous thoughts of the Third lying had disappeared with the pain. She stood absolutely numb, not noticing anything around her. Not Naruto barging into the Third's office, not the Haimaru nudging her legs, not the Third's face of pity. Nothing. She felt nothing but that dagger pushing further into her.
