…Yep..

Running

----------------------------------------

"You three are leading a bad path if you keep this up…" He sighed from above

Coughcough

Blood gushed out of her once again, her vision was blurred. She used all of the strength she had left in her to get up and keep walking straight, but her body wouldn't listen. It just wanted to lay there and rest for a while, she was lost. She didn't know where to go, she just kept running, running from all of her problems dodging all attacks. She hated to see all that passed by her, happy families, friends and peers. She was just an outsider, always standing outside of the crowd, follows no one, lives no where, she was a nobody. She just kept running, running to nothing every time she thought it would stop, it would just start again, a life worth of running, never stopping to saw 'hello' or 'hi' she just ran past familiar faces.

She lifted herself off the blood drenched ground, her dizzy ness cutting in, she regained control standing still. She blinked a few times until she saw no one else there, she was alone, again.

"Chiko… Minamoto…?" She called out

But no one replied.

Her eyes opened, she saw no one, the place was deserted, she stood in the middle of the battlefield, drenched in her friends blood. She was alone, again, all she could do now was run, and never look back.

'Run, never look back, forget your friends. Forget Amaya, Your better off alone, you don't need any of them, you have me. Your not alone, Riku.' A voice chanted inside her head,

She gripped her head, trying to make the voices go away, they just kept echoing on and on, getting louder. Was this the consequence of letting power in your arms, letting it control your body just for one simple fact? Her head pounded, she felt her body go light, as if she could just fly away.

"No! I can't give up!" She demanded

A glimpse of light shone upon Riku.

Riku started to cry, tears fell down her face cleaning the dirt and blood.

"Riku… Please don't cry, I promised I'd protect you, that's why I gave you those goggles… Remember… Now?" A soft voice chanted

"Amaya…" She looked up suddenly

"Amaya! Take me with you! I don't want to run anymore, I just want to give up and go with you, I can't take this anymore!" Riku cried

"But it's not your time… You will come here, when the time's right…" She replied

Amaya suddenly was standing in front of Riku, she looked real beside the fact she was glowing. She was smiling and giving a hand to Riku, she didn't seem to be mad that she ran away, almost killed their friends, she just smiled at her.

Riku ran to her trying to hug her, but she just ran through the light. Her eyes filled up with water, she was dying and she felt it. Riku just gave up and fell to the floor, eyes covered in tears.

"Riku, it's not your time… Yet" Amaya smiled, walking over to Riku. She placed a hand on her forehead then lifted back into the sky, slowly turning brighter.

----------------------------------------

"Rini! Who are you looking for!" Myah yelled

"Riku, she hasn't come back yet, she promised me that she would come back and eat dinner with us!" Rini replied

"Rini, snap out of it. Riku isn't good, I'm not sure but I think she isn't human!" Myah grabbed the running Rini

"Human or not, she is my friend. When you were gone she kept me company!"

Myah stopped, she went silent and corrected. She just continued to follow her sister running through the woods closer and closer to the cliff separating Mist from Konoha. There lay a body in front of them, battered and bashed from a gruesome fight. She was broused, cut and everything else bones shattered muscles used to its extent, she pushed every thing in her body to its limits and pass and she got here. Playing dead on the blooded ground, she looked as if she was nothing but a body, no soul or life left, but lerking deep within her mind she still had some hope, a small amount of light that could keep her going on and on, continuing life. She never gave up or stopped, she ran all the way to the finish line, ending her life to soon.

"Riku!" Rini cried jumping from the top of the steep cliff down to the almost dead Riku.

"My…" Myah sighed,

Rini sat next to Riku, shoving her, pushing her to see if she would wake. Wondering what in Earth happened, she was sad, her eyes dropped tears fell slightly she wiped the dirt and blood off her face.

"Riku… What… Happened…?" She questioned

"Rini, we should go back. Before its too late…" Myah stated,

Rini looked up at her sister, slowly lifting Riku off the battlegrounds, dragging her slightly. Myah helped her and both carried her slowly back to the cottage, Rini desperate to make things go back to normal, willingly.

"Medics these two are in fatal condition! We need to rush them to full extent surgery room, they might die!"

"How about you? Are you ok! Do you have any injuries?" A medic asked in a hurry

"No, I'm fine. Please just take care of the rest," She replied holding her arm

"How about him," Another medic asked

"He is living on sheer will power and nothing else, I transferred some of my chakra into him but it wouldn't absorb it. He might not make it, he is critical." Ichikojin replied

"Wait, wasn't there 5 of them!" The head medic yelled

"1 of them are missing, no bodies found. I think she was a goner from the start. Kind of sad actually"

"What was her name?"

"Jenna." Chiko answered

----------------------------------------
