Chapter 1.
Defeat
The blond ninja dressed in green, breathed heavily.
There was nowhere to go, but if she didn't move she would most certainly be killed. The ninja known as, Momo backed up but stopped. She looked behind to see she was on the edge of a cliff.
"Shit… must be at least a 200 ft. drop." She moaned.
There was a river at the bottom of the cliff, but she would have to jump out 50 feet away just to get to it. It required strength she just didn't have at the moment. Momo looked away. She continued to breath heavily. Her lungs felt like bursting, but that was the least of her problems. With no chakra left she could perform no more jutsu to defend herself.
"You lose." A male voice told Momo.
The blond girl's eyes widened. She knew exactly what he meant. It was the end.
Momo could do nothing but watch the steel blade pierce her stomach; scattering a thousand crimson teardrops onto the two ninjas.
"Guhhhahahah…" Momo breathed.
The man before her was no older then herself. His blood red dyed bangs hanging over his short black hair seemed to fit his cold grayish eyes. Momo's blood had sprayed upon his black leather jacket, dripping onto the grass. The man just laughed at Momo's pain. The injured blonde's eyes began to tear up as she reached her shaking hand towards him." P-p-p-l-lease stop, Kai…. please." Momo stuttered.
Kai's smile vanished when his opponent touched his shoulder. But as quickly as it disappeared it once again showed- through his thin red chapped lips. Kai placed his hand on Momo's shoulder too, but this was not out of care. He pulled his sword from her body and kicked her off the cliff. Sending Momo to her doom.
"Ohh Kai… why?" She wondered.
As Momo fell the wind caused her to close her eyes. Shit…SHIT!
Momo began to form hand signs. Praying in the back of her mind that it would work. False Dragon's wings jutsu!
Chakra began to glow a blue light dimly around her shoulder blades. Then two large dragon wings ripped through her green shirt. The jutsu had worked, but who knew how long Momo could keep it up.
Come on at least until I'm directly above the river.
Momo grunted as she began to sweat, from forcing chakra out and into the wings. She held her hand sign for as long as she could. Her stomach wound tingled with pain and blood was pouring out of it. Eventually she released the hand sign and grabbed her stomach. Instantly the wings vanished and once again the 16-year-old girl started to plummet down back to earth. With merely dumb luck, Momo had used the jutsu long enough to fall into the river.
The river however was not a calm one but rather a raging river- yet another way for the injured ninja to die. Momo swam to the surface. She gasped for air- swallowing a mouth full of the cold water. Rapidly moving her arms and legs she motioned towards the bank in a diagonal direction.
Soon with much effort Momo had beached. Clawing her way off the sandy shore she soon touched the long grass. After this she turned and lied onto her back. Momo panted and felt totally exhausted. Even after she was away from the danger there was no hope for her.
I guess I should just let myself bleed to death. I mean life isn't worth living anymore! Not after the one person I cared for most betrayed me. Perhaps even god has abandoned me. That would explain why this is happening.
Momo began to sniffle and wipe her eyes.
In the end I never really escaped my early death. I wish that the doctors just gave up trying to get me to breath- that my mother had just tossed me into the river as a baby. But no! I survived all of that just to die her. With no reason for living at all!
She stopped to gaze at the nighttime moon. It was full, and on a cloudless night. It's beautiful. Momo realized she had never really looked at the moon, even though she had seen it many times before. This time felt like it was actually the first. Unknowing to Momo she drifted into a light sleep- filling her head with dreams, or more like the memories of the past.
