Where am I?

She ran through the forest in a place in which she has never seen. She ran from those who had put into darkness and ruined her. She ran to save herself and what little memories she had.

She quickly hid behind a large oak tree, trying to catch her breath. Her jeans soiled and ripped, her top torn to shreds. Cuts and scrapes adorned her skin. A deep cut etched the side of her head throbbed. She peeked back from behind the tree, looking at the way she came. Her captors were close, but far enough for her to think back.

'Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Where was I before? Where am I from? Where do I live?'

All of these were questions that she could not answer, at most she knew her name and age, but remembered nothing of what identity to the world was. She heard a sharp snap, not very far from where she was hiding. She heard a man curse as she sprinted from hiding place and farther into the forest.

"Come back here you bloody wretch!" the older man screamed.

'As if calling me back would make me come' the girl thought.

She ran even faster than she ever thought she could. She had to get away! She shivered as she ran, and noticed that there was a mysterious fog that had begun to roll in.

'This might just be my chance to lose them!' she thought. She risked looking back to see that the fog had taken over the entire forest. There was no sight of the men that were after her. She smirked and turned around to look in front. However the moment she turn around she ran into something and that something grabbed her.

"Good job Anthony! Hold her tight." the older man said to his partner.

"Little bitch!" The man named Anthony said to the girl as her gripped her tighter by the shoulder and shook girl winced in pained, but held her tongue.

"Now, now Anthony our merchandise is supposed to be unharmed" the older man said as he slowly walked over and grabbed her face to inspect her. "However in this case, I think we can make an exception." The girl glared at him and bit his hand. The man pulled back with a yelp and back-handed her. "You slut!"

The girl cried out in pain. Tears began to fill her eyes. She was so close, so close to getting away. What in the world had she done that she deserved this. The older man looked at his hand and then back at the girl. It seemed as though he made his decision about her.

"Anthony*, kill her."

The bigger built but younger in age man, looked over at his partner surprised.

"Mister Remus*? Kill her? But she was such an easy catc-" he was cut off by his smaller superior.

"Look Anthony, she's pretty yes. When we found her we thought she was broken. But apparently she's not. We can't cause any trouble for our customers, if she's going to be like this. It seems like she still has a lot of fight left in her and we don't have the time for her antics. It's easier to just kill her."

Anthony thought it over and nodded. He turned his attention to the petite girl who was trembling as she heard her fate. He threw her against one of the trees, knocking the wind out of the of her, and proceeded to strangle her with one hand wrapped tightly around her slender neck, lifting her slightly of the ground.

'Someone, anyone! Help Me!' the girl thought as she began to lose conciseness. The darkness began to come over her when heard a scream and the pressure on her neck was release as she fell in the dirt. Her eyes fluttered open trying to process what she seeing. 'Anthony' seemed to be holding his hand pain as something began spurting out of it. A dark figure came into her area of vision. The figure cloaked in black walked over to where her and 'Anthony' were and grabbed Anthony by the collar of his shirt and threw him aside as though he were a rag doll.

"W-who are y-you?" Remus asked obviously scared witless by this figure. The figure ignored him and kneeled down by where the girl was and set her in a sitting position so she could breathe figure examined her wounds, and then turned back to the two men.

"Get out of here." the figure's deep voice boomed.

"W-who are you to tell us that!" Remus shouted as he pulled out a small shot-gun. He aimed the gun at the figure, but before he could pull the trigger he was screaming out in pain as he clutched one of his legs. Remus looked down at his leg and back up at the figure to see that the figure already had in hand a silver gun** that was still aimed at him. The figure then redirected his aim at Anthony and spoke in a threatening voice.

"You, big guy. Take you little friend and get off my property. If you refuse then you can consider your other limbs as good as gone."

Anthony looked at the figure with fear and slowly but surely made his way to Remus, eyes stuck to the gun as it followed him. With his one arm and hand he tucked Remus under his arm and began to back away very slowly. The figure flicked the gun with impatients and that sent Anthony running back the way they had come from.

Once the figure was sure that they were off his property the figure turned back to the girl whose eyes were slowly closing due to exhaustion and again check her wounds and took of his cloak and carefully wrapped her in it and lifted her up bridal style. The girl slightly wince and the figure asked worriedly: "Did I hurt you?". The girl shook her head lightly and just barely snuggled into the warmth that was emitting from the figure. Before she could fall to the call of exhaustion she asked: "What can I call you?" The figure looked at her a bit confused at her oddly phrased question but relaxed and said: "Kiyo, what can I call you?"

She let a small smile come to her lips as she heard his name and answered his question with: "Mai, Taniyama Mai." and left she let sleep consume her.

*To anyone name Anthony or Remus, Sorry! I mean no offence.

**The sliver gun, if you want an idea of what it looks like, it's in the manga 'Mother Keeper' the one the main character has.

Please review, Don't be too mean. I like feedback, and let me know if I made a mistake on anything.
