I don't own Naruto, if it was mine the world should have been orange. :D
Prologue
Run.
Dodge.
Flee.
Men in black suits were following them. Her mama was holding her hand, pulling her as they ran quickly to hide. She was very confused of why they were running away, these men were granpa's friends, her mama and these guys were friends too. Why were they chasing them?
CLANK!
There was clinking sound everywhere. Naruto shifted her attention to the post where they were hiding now, something hit it. She saw her mama clutching her right shoulder. Tentatively, she reached out to where her mama's hands were, she felt a sticky liquid streaming from mama's fingers. Mama flinched by the contact. Was she hurt? She can't see what the liquid was because it was very dark. Naruto was afraid but she didn't know why. Papa would come and rescue them, right? She wanted to cry but her mama wasn't so she shouldn't cry. She needed to be brave like her mama!
Crash!
The box beside her was hit, again, by that something, her mama pulled her hands and they started running again. Naruto was very tired, she just turned five today, she was still little. All she wanted at that moment was to be back at their home and sleep. They were still running, her mama turned to another corner. Her mama was panting heavily now, and then she stopped. There was light! Are we going to take a rest now? There were loud footsteps behind them, her mama faced the man with brave resolution etched on her expression.
"So, this is the great Habanero. How the mighty have fallen, don't you think?" He was their leader, Naruto concluded since this man has this frightening yet domineering aura. The leader mirthfully shouted to his men, to which they also laughed.
"Why are you doing this Tobi?" Her mama said softly. She was still clutching her shoulders, blood running in her arms. Naruto was now hiding behind her mama's knees.
"Because of what you said last night, you – well actually, it's none of your concerns now. You're going to come with us whether you like it or not." The man, smiled at her mama then shifted his eyes to Naruto's direction.
Her mama glared at the man. Then she shouted furiously, "NO! You will not touch her! Just bring me, don't involve Naruto here."
The man clicked his tongue and walked nearer to mama, "You don't make the decisions anymore here Kushina, it wouldn't be fun for you if you don't have your own audience while I have my men. I don't want you to be alone, at all." The man smiled, like a predator to his prey.
The men drew nearer and nearer to them. Her mama grabbed her hand and they ran straight to the light…
…Only to find a dead end.
Her mama stood in front of her, and then quickly as she blinked, she crumpled to the ground as the man hit her in the neck.
"MAMA! What did you to my mama?" Naruto kicked the man between his legs, her mama have taught her this.
The man howled in pain, Naruto stepped back until she was huddled in a corner. After a few minutes, the man had recuperated long enough to stand again and walk to her direction, and then he slapped her.
"Insolent brat!" The man grabbed her arms, she tried squirm out of his grasp but he was too strong. So she bit him, her papa have always said she had strong teeth.
The man yelped in pain again, she ran, only to be caught again by those hands. She screamed, her mama needs her help! She needs to get away. Naruto punched the man, again on his thighs, but received a punch to the gut.
It hurts, Naruto whimpered.
"Mama…"
...
...
"Mama!"
Naruto bolted up from her bed, tears running down her face. This dream again. She checked the orange digital clock at her bedside; it was blinking 3:30 am. Damn it, it's too early to wake up, yet too late to go back to sleep but then, she needs all the sleep she could get if she wanted to finish all her work tomorrow. She unconsciously ran her fingers at the scar on her back as she laid back and got in a more comfortable position. How long has it been since she had dreamt this? Why now?
So how was it?
REVIEWS are very much loved. :D
