oh and thanks to the ppl who liked my story and reviewed! I'm happy someone knows what memento mori means:D

"Pain is inevitable.
Suffering is optional."

***
Pythagoras.
City of filth.
A place where death is a casualty and blood runs free through the streets. A city of nightmares?
Some would say such stuff as dreams are made of.

**********************kagomes point of view*********************
Running. Don't stop. Cant stop. Run fast. Run hard.
Just run.
I'm running so hard it feels like my feet have split in two.
I'm running so hard I cant feel the ground below me.
I'm running so hard I'm gliding.

Freedom.
When was the last time I've cut through the air like this? The last time my eyes became corrupted with the outside filth? The last time my bare feet felt the cold concrete below me?
Who knows.

How did I escape? I cant even remember...I just ran. I couldn't stand any more of it! Anymore wires, shocks, the inspections...
I shook my head.
I have to get rid of these bad memories!
All I did was run. Run until my legs were numb and my head pounded. My heart was in my neck and I could feel the blood pumping through my body. The adrenaline in my body had gone into over drive and felt as if I would collapse any second.
Any second.
One.
Two.
I toppled over into a pile of trash. Rats scurried into opposite directions and I huffed in all the air my lungs could bare.
I was aching all over. My feet were numb but I saw that they were bleeding. 'I must've ran over some glass', I thought. I lay my head back into the indention my body had made in the trash.
I grinned.
All was well now. I could be bleeding from my eyes for all I care! I was free now, and that's all that mattered.
With the freezing air, the clouds of breath escaping my mouth in gasps and pants, and my bed of garbage, I felt euphoric and finally happy....
Happy?
I smirked. No, maybe not happy.
Satisfied. Satisfied with my new retreat of filth.
My eyes grew heavy as I let go of consciousness.
