A/N: I do not own Warrior's Orochi in any way. Sasuke is a character I got from Sengoku Basara anime which I do not own either. This is a one shot for now unless any would like me to continue. This is my first story I have written in nearly five years! Anyway, I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own.
Into The Darkness
Gracia ran though the dark forest but she did not know what she was running from. The moon was obscured beyond the trees and the ebony clouds that covered the night sky. She wore a tattered white chemise and her pale ivory skin made it easy to spot her. Her feet were bare and cut from the sharp rocks, and dirt was caked to her feet from the bloody trail she left behind. Her red hair was frayed with dirt and twigs attached to it.
As she ran down the steep trail, she lost what little vision she had. It was completely dark and she slowed her feet a little to ensure she wouldn't fall. As she reached the end of trail, she approached a small clearing where she saw her childhood friend, Sasuke. He pulled himself closer to her with his right arm. His left arm had been amputated, and the loss of blood was beginning to get to him. He extended his good arm towards her and whispered her name. She wasn't sure what got to him, but this made her stop in her tracks.
Gracia watched Sasuke struggle to get to her, and she took a step back. Tears began to well up in her eyes, and she shook her head in disbelief. "You're not here, this isn't real," she stammered as she shivered fiercely. The cold of the evening was beginning to get to her and her feet were growing numb.
"Don't go, Gracia," he whispered hoarsely. His voice was starting to fade, and she could tell he was growing weaker by the moment. His hand fell to his lap as he watched her step further away.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke," she cried. Gracia turned and ran faster than she ever ran before. Tears caked to her face as she thought about how she left Sasuke. He would more than likely die in his current condition. She wanted to remember his dark hair and deep blue eyes, not the awful state he was in.
As she reached the top of the trail she had ran down previously, Gracia heard a snap nearby. She stopped running and she quickly turned her head towards where she thought the noise originated and saw a dark obscurity that she could not exactly make out.
"Hello?" she called out, not exactly sure if she should go closer or run the opposite direction. The shadow came closer towards her and she took a step back. "Don't come any closer!" she almost shouted. Her heart was pounding.
It came closer still, and she willed all she had not to turn and run. As she looked into its face, she saw a familiar pair of deep blue eyes. A strong realization swept over her.
"You're Sasuke, aren't you?" Gracia smiled with more tears streaming down her face.
The creature shrieked and stomped its heavy feet towards Gracia. Branches and twigs snapped beneath his feet and she could feel the ground shaking violently.
Gracia shrieked and turned to run. She could feel its breath close to her and she took off as fast as she could. Although she had no idea where she was going, she ran through an unfamiliar bush. Before she could grasp anything, she felt herself falling deeper into an abyss.
