So, here is what I managed to get out so far. I originally hand wrote out the story, and this is what I managed to transfer onto my computer. The story is not yet finished. Let me know what you think?

Thanks to the Muses for giving me this idea!

Enjoy the teaser for this story!


Hope

"I have to keep running, just go; their lives depend on my speed." I though desperately, hoping my body would respond to my plea. I had to get to the Hokage. I have to find a scouting party, someone, anyone from the Leaf Village! They'll die if I'm not fast enough. My own injuries inhibited my speed; I was losing blood fast.

"I have to be fast enough," I said out loud, something to disturb the silence that seemed all too foreboding.

"Get to the Leaf, get to the Hokage. Get to the Leaf, get to the Hokage." I set this in my mind in a never ending cycle; focusing on that and not the multitude of injuries I had accumulated in my desperate sprinting. I had to focus on something other than the enormity of the situation, the pressure. . .

Stumbling out into a clearing, and earning a few new scratches, I could just see the Village Hidden in the Leaves. I almost cried in relief, and this vision gave me new strength. I flew past the guards at the gate, flecking droplets of blood on their shoes. I never stopped running, because I know if I fell I would not get back up again. Knowing that the building was always busy and that people in the stairs would be too much of an obstacle, I took a more direct approach. I jumped up the building and flew through the window, skidding to a halt and collapsing in the middle of the room. Already a small pool of blood had started to form.

"Pakkun! What is the meaning of this?" Lady Tsunade was furious, but I could see her face change from anger to concern and anxiety in a second as she took in my condition. I was shaking all over from my desperate run. Bloody patches were congealed on my skin, and my front leg was dislocated. I just lay there on the floor of her office…tired…and trying to get my breath back as soon as I could. Every second counted.
