The Lone Wolf
Hello everybody out there in the world! This is my first story I have ever written so go easy on me please :3 Now off to the disclaimer!
I DO NOT own Naruto but I sooo wish I did. Anyway…Enjoy! :D
"Shit, shit, shit, shit."
'I'm going to die. They are going to catch me and I'm to die.' I screamed in my head as I was sprinting my ass off in the woods. I turned to see how far back they were and to my dismay, they weren't even 20 feet behind me. 'Where the hell is Riki when I need her?'
I don't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing they killed me. I still need to get my revenge for killing my family.
Taking a sharp turn to left and jumped over some bushes attempting to throw the four men chasing hunting me down. As I was jumping over a log in the middle of my pathway, one of the huntsmen two kunai at me. One flew over my shoulder, slicing off some of my silver and black hair and cutting my pale cheek, while the other hit me in my right shoulder blade.
'Damn that will be a pain in the ass to heal' Even though the pain is unbearable, I still had to push through it and get away.
As I was dodging shuriken and kunai's, I tried to contact my partner Riki to find out where she was. 'Riki? Riki, can you hear me?'
'Harumi? I can hear you loud and clear. Where are you?'
'In the middle of the woods.' I thought back as I threw a senbon needle at one of the men, luckly hitting him right in his heart, killing him.
'No shit Sherlock. She shot back at me. 'I just got your scent. I'm headed your way now.
'Just hurry. I still have three men chasing me.' Then it got quiet. 'Riki are you there?' Still nothing. Next thing I knew I heard screaming and growling behind me. I stopped running and turned to the direction of the noise and saw the three huntsmen in a pile on the ground with Riki sitting on top of them, waving her tail back and forth.
"Finally that's over." I sighed as I fell to the dirt road, not caring if my black shorts get dirty. I went to stretch my arms but a wave of pain shot through my body. I had completely forgot about the kunai in my shoulder. "Can you remove this kunai for me please?" I asked cause I couldn't move without it killing me.
"Sure." Was all Riki said. She walked over behind and wraps her mouth around the handle. Through her teeth she said, "count to three, and on three I'll it out."
"Ok." I took a deep breath then started to count, "One, tw-AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I screamed. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THREE?" Completely ignoring my question, she spit the kunai out and started to lick the wound, healing it.
"There all better." With a smirk on her face she walked over in front and sat down in front of me. Riki is my trusted sidekick. She's not your average wolf, she's a ninja wolf. Her coat is a pure white color and her eyes and nose are red, her paws are black and so is the tip of her big, bushy tail. Plus, she's huge. She's about twice the size of an average wolf.
"Thanks." I mumbled, giving her a "fuck you" look. I centered my chakra to my hand and after i started glowing green, I placed it over my cheek to heal the cut. I looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark outside. "Let's set up camp and then we can continue to the nearest village first thing in the morning."
Riki nodded and we started to set up camp. We finished up about 20 minutes later and I started to get a fire going for warmth. I walked over to my bag and took out some small pots and utensils. I also grabbed some rice and a rabbit that I had killed earlier. I cooked them up and put some in Riki's bowl. Yes, I carry a dog bowl for her.
As soon as we were done eating we went into the tent to get some sleep. I rested my head on Riki's belly and used her tail as a blanket. I soon drifted off into a what I thought would be a peaceful slumber…but I was completely wrong.
Flashback:
It was raining that day. The village was deserted and no one was outside except for Riki and I. We had been outside training in my favorite clearing in the woods. The clearing was just on the edge of Kusagakure's border. It was peaceful and quiet, with no one in sight. which is why I loved it here.
We were resting under the a tree, taking a break from battling each other, when her head suddenly popped up and her ears pulled back. I asked her what was wrong but she didn't answer me. She just got up and started sprinting towards our house. Thinking something bad had happened, I quickly gathered my things and followed her to the house.
The whole way home I had been thinking the worst. We finally arrived at my house in no time, soaking wet, and panting. The house was normally loud with my family working and yelling at the other family members. But at that time, it was dead quiet and all the lights were off in the house.
I slowly walked in the front door, taking a kunai out of my pouch, not knowing what was behind the door. As I stepped into the front hall,I told Riki to look through the house to look for any survivors. The stench of blood was all I could smell and I had to hold back from throwing up. I looked over to my right, into the living room, and forced myself not to scream. There. lying in a pool of blood, were my grandparents. I noticed my grandfather's chest moving very slightly and I dropped my kunai and ran over to his side. I noticed a giant gash starting from his chest to his hip.
I held him still, getting my black shirts and shorts covered in blood, trying to heal him but his hand grabbed my wrist, stopping me."Harumi...It's too late to save me...go now..and save...yourself..." he barely said in between breathes. He was dieing by the second and he didn't want me to save him? I didn't understand why.
"Grandpa, please let me help you!" I sobbed. "What happened here?"
"Six masked men...ambushed...we managed to kill one of them...the whole family was killed."
"What about mother and father? Where are they?"
"Last time I saw they were upstairs...Harumi please just get out...or he will kill you too..." He inhaled one last breathe and then nothing. His eyes half-way open and glazed over, laying there stiff, he was gone.
I tried one last time to bring him back by placing my hands over his chest, trying to make his heart beat again, but it didn't work. He was gone. I sat there on my knees crying while holding his lifeless body in my arms. I heared Riki bark from upstairs and then it hit me. 'I need to find mother and father.'
I got up and ran up the stairs to my parents bedroom, jumping over bodies of my other family members, in the hall. I had finally reached their bedroom at the end of the hall and I could smelled blood coming from the room. I threw open the door and saw my mothers lifeless body on the floor. Her neck was sliced open and multiple stab wounds over her body.
Four men stood around her, their kunais covered in her blood, laughing while another stood leaning against the wall. We locked eyes and I instantly recognized him.
"Father...why?" I asked, barely audible. My whole body had been shaking not only from being soaked, but from fear as well. He said nothing, just glared at me.
"Answer me!"
"...Kill her." was all he said. The four men nodded then rushed at me. I was too shocked to move, but Riki grabbed my arm and pulled me out out my daze. I turned and started sprinting for my life. Riki and I ran into the woods and hid in some bushes. The men ran past us, not noticing us. We stayed hidden until we thought the coast was clear.
As we stepped out of the bushes, I came out of my shock and everything came crashing down on me, and I did the only thing that came to my mind: scream.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Well there is the end of the first chapter. I thought it turned out to be pretty good myself but I'll leave that to you guy to decide. Next chapter we will see our favorite orange masked character!
Review please!
