Chapter 1-Spiderwebs

Miata bounded gently across the wide plane. It was very comforting to know that the air could smell so sweet so far away from home. And it was less bitter here than the snowy peaks of Pieta. She had on a top and bottom of skintight grey material and a black belt and black high heel ninja shoes. She bounced gaily across the meadow, her gigantic claymore sword strapped to her back by a black cord.

Miata was cut off by two men who seemed to be awaiting her. She stopped dead in her tracks, reaching for her broadsword but hesitating. She gazed at them with silvery eyes, awaiting their response. They were so odd, in black and red robes that came up past their chins.

"She's a tiny thing, isn't she?" said the taller of the two. "When Pain told us to follow the trail of bodies, never thought she would have the blood on her hands."

She drew her sword.

"God…please forgive me," she said shaking as her hair fell into her eyes like golden curtains. Faster the wind she was gone.

She met with Kisame's blade, her body weight pressing down on him, plus something else. Her strength seemed effortless as she pushed of his body with her feet and, unknowingly, into the path of Itachi, who was much faster than she. He caught her sword arm in one hand and wrapped his free hand around Miata's neck. He caught a glimpse of golden ore as he forced her to look into his eyes, coaxing her into a hypnotic sleep.

Then Itachi threw her over his shoulder as he handed her heavy sword to his partner.
