The burning disk that was the moon hung ominously in the starless night sky, a large black cats paws pounding the ground, her step uneaven, broken if you will. She was panting in a way. As she ran, blood poured endlessly from a wound that danced across her chest. "What happened?.." She asked to no one in particular, a paw slipping from under her body. She slid to the ground, face first, she stood up and spat some dirt out. "Ow…" She said, in a normal human voice. Now she shook as she walked, it seemed that her energy was running low and she was exhausted. She collapsed again and didn't stand up.
"Are you ok?" Someone said, as Shiari felt someone shaking her shoulder lightly, it was a young boy, about the age of 14, the same age as her. He looked at her worried, not alarmed. She looked down to see a blood stained t-shirt and black jeans covering a human frame. She looked around, holding her pounding head with one hand.
"I don't know." She said and tried to stand up, falling back down again, her balance not exactly normal in her current condition. "Who are you?" She asked and looked at the boy. He had tan pants on and was wearing a high-collared top with a strange symbol on the back.
"Sasuke Uchiha. You really haven't heard of-" He stopped quickly as She pulled herself as quickly as possible away from him. "What's wrong?" He asked, seeing she was terrified, of him it seemed.
"You mean you aren't going to hurt me?" She said, still shaking. Her voice was very soft, and somewhat soothing, even in the tone it was in. Before Sasuke could answer, she closed her eyes in pain, pulled her legs towards her body, wrapped her arms around her chest and lowered her head.
"Woah! You ok!" He said, rushing towards her, catching her before she hit the ground. She was out, and he knew that she wouldn't make it very long like this. "Damn. I can't just leave her here, and I don't want to have to take her back to the village…" He said, cought up in thought. "Well, it seems I don't have much of a choice." He concluded and stood up, still carrying her. She weighed less than she seemed, so she was very easy to carry. He felt something wet run over his arm and he jumped somewhat. He crouched down and layed her on the ground. He looked at his arm, which was covered in blood. "Oh…" he mumbled somewhat stupidly, she was in much worse condition than he had first thought, and he was going much to slow. "At this pace," He began, lifting her up again, "She will surely die!" He said and started running as fast as possible. She curled up, trying to stop the pain, in his arms and aginst his chest. She was still in so much pain, and Sasuke was doing all that he could. "Hold on." He said. She seemed to hear him and her hands grasped his shirt tightly. She blacked out as Sasuke walked through the hospital doors, she didn't hear, or feel, anything after that.
