The Escape

Authoress note/disclaimer: Ok everyone you know the drill. I don't own anything of Naruto all I own is my laptop and my cruddy fan fics. Oh I also own Dakota, the man, and the horrible story I threw them in to…(sigh) Anyways there's the disclaimer so all that leaves is my notes. This story revolves around the OC Dakota that I created. If you don't like OC's then go and read somethin else. For now this is all there is going to be of this story unless I get at least one review...or I might just put some more up anyways. Well that's it for now. I hope you enjoy this. R and R please!

For as long as Dakota could remember she had dreamed of a place where everything was different from the life she lived here. Here would be in California. Some people thought that Cali was the perfect place to live. That nothing bad happened there. What they don't understand is that Cali isn't a perfect place.

No it like many other states and countries has its problems and unfortunately, Dakota experienced some the these troubles everyday since the day she was born. When she was younger she would dream of people coming to rescue her but then after years of hoping and nothing happening she finally quit knowing that no one cared about what happened to her. All they cared about was there selves

It was late at night and a storm raged over the city. Dakota ran down the streets through the pounding rain blinded by water and blood. Somehow over the sound of the pounding rain she was able to hear the pounding footsteps behind her. Knowing he was catching up she willed her body to go faster. Then suddenly she was falling to the ground. She landed hard and felt someone grab her.

"NO!" She cried in fear and struggled to get away.

The man who was holding her was to strong. He said in a gruff voice "I'm really getting tiered of this Dakota. I thought you would have learned by now." Dakota shuddered at the coldness in his voice. He tightened his grip and she cried out in pain. "Now this time I'm going to make it absolutely sure you understand." He forced Dakota on to her back and in the light of a nearby streetlight she saw he held a knife in his free hand.

Her eyes widened as she said in a terrified voice "No please! I - I won't try to get away anymore!" She watched in horror as the man drew his arm back and plunged the knife downward. Pain shot through her shoulder then darkness filled her vision and that was all she knew.

Voices woke her and once she was awake pain engulfed her. Gasping she moved her arms to clutch her head and instantly cried out in pain. Opening her eyes a few minutes latter she saw three people looking down at her. Her eyes widened who were these people? Moving to sit up Dakota let out another cry of pain.

"You shouldn't sit up you're still to injured."

Once the jolt of pain passed she asked "Who are you?"

Two of the men looked at the third who was the oldest. "He is a medic-nin, this is Iruka Umino, and you may call me the Hokage."

Dakota slowly raised her hand to her face and rubbed her eyes. 'OK what the heck are these guys wearing?' she thought as she studied each man in turn. "Where am I?" She asked once she finished studying them.

"You are in the village hidden in the leaves."

"I'm where!" She cried sitting up. The medic-nin tried to push her back down but Dakota wouldn't let him. Ignoring her swimming vision she looked at the Hokakge.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked.

"Yes! How'd I get here?" She asked starting to panic.

"I found you in the forest." The man known as Iruka said.

'Forest? There aren't any forests anywhere near where I had been before I blacked out.' She thought.

"Do you know how you ended up there?" The Hokage asked.

Dakota shook her head and said "The last thing I remember is I was in the city...almost to the police station...then he tackled me and..." A dark look crossed her face and she said angrily "I almost got away but he caught me."

Iruka looked worried "Who?" He asked.

She opened her mouth to answer but stopped. She couldn't say who it was he'd kill her if she did. Closing her mouth she laid back down and turned her head to stare at the wall.

The Hokage realizing they wouldn't be getting anymore information out of her for the time being said "Alright let her rest for now." The three men then left the room.

'What am I going to do now?' She thought as she stared at the wall.
