Chapter 1- The Chase

Akemi's POV:

I leaped to the next tree branch, my feet nearly missed the small foothold by inches. I grabbed my side leaning agianst the smooth trunk. The blood was pouring through my fingers staining the hem of my white gown. I had to stop, or I was sure death would follow.

I coughed and blood spattered my hand, I stared at it, crimson. Then I heard him.

" Akemi, come out, come out wherever you are." I held my breath the small droplets of blood ran across my hands.

" You know, Lord Orichimaru will only be angry if I kill you. If you just come out I'm sure Orichimaru will be a tad bit more softer on you." I stifled a grimace of pain as he neared my tree. I hated Kabuto and that was the only thing I was certain of.

" Alright Akemi, you can keep hiding, but when I or Orichimaru find you." He paused, " You'll wish I hadn't." Saying this he turned on his heel and left. I waited listening to the soft pounding of his feet then with the lat bit of strenght I had, I started to run.

I felt the rip in my leg each time as I softly landed, then I saw it. City Gates. I limped towards them, I saw a few guards look up in surprise. Then I saw nothing but darkness.
