A girl ran through the forest, the trees were a blur to her. Tears filled her eyes blinding her. She ran around frantically, looking for an escape. A shadowy figure appeared in front of her causing her to scream. She turned around and ran back the other direction. "Leave me alone! Please!" She ran around, everything looked the same to her. "What do you want from me?!" She had woken up to find him leaning over her and now he was chasing her. She couldn't remember anything. She was roughly pushed to the ground; she felt something around her neck. 'He's going to strangle me!' The girl struggled, screaming, hoping that someone would come to her rescue. But the man was sitting on her. She heard a click and the weight of the man was gone. She touched her throat to find a collar.
Remembering her encounter with Pein brought up un-answered questions. What was I doing before I lost my memory? For some odd reason deep down she could feel that it was something important. Tears continued to fall from her eyes. She slammed her door and locked it. 'Why did I say all those mean things? He's just worried…' Miki dug through her drawers and found some bandages and ointment.
"Miki-Chan!" Tobi shouted crashing through the window, he fell on the ground and didn't move.
"TOBI!" Miki shrieked running over him. "What do you think you're doing?" Miki asked helping him up.
"Tobi wanted to see Miki-Chan but her door was locked, so I decided to come through the window." Tobi explained rubbing his head. Miki looked at him like he was crazy. "Miki-Chan! What happened to your hands?" Tobi asked grabbing them.
"I burned them… I was cooking food with Sasori and I burned myself."
"Sasori…" Tobi said in a dark voice.
"It's not Sasori's fault." Miki tried to explain, but Tobi got up and left. "Tobi!" Miki yelled running up to him. She grabbed a fistful of his cloak, stopping him in his place. "It's not his fault. It was mine. You don't have to be angry at Sasori."
"I don't care what you say. Sasori should have watched you." Tobi growled. This wasn't the Tobi she knew. "You don't understand… You're Akatsuki's sweetheart. You mean everything to us." Tobi whispered, he grabbed her wrist and pulled it away from his cloak. "I'm going to find that Sasori." Without another word he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Tobi!" Miki shouted, she looked around frantically and ran down a hallway. She turned at the corner and bumped into Itachi. "Itachi! You have to help me! Tobi is going to hurt Sasori!" Itachi stared at her with no emotions and no sign of worry. "Itachi?! Did you hear me?"
"Yes, but you said you didn't want my help anymore. That you weren't my charity case." Itachi explained walking away.
"Itachi!" Miki cried, her heart was beating so fast that she thought it was going to rip out of her chest. She frantically ran down the hall looking for anybody. Miki passed a room with the door partly opened. She peered inside to find a room full of puppets. "Where's Sasori?" Miki ran to the exit of the lair, hoping to find them fighting outside. When she arrived, they were indeed fighting outside.
"What's wrong with you Tobi?!" Sasori growled controlling one of his puppets. Miki gasped in horror. The puppet was beaten badly. It was missing an arm and its head was about to fall off.
"You hurt Miki-Chan!" Tobi replied sending boulders at Sasori. Sasori quickly blocked the boulders with his puppet.
"Sasori! Tobi stop!" Miki cried running towards them. Strong arms wrapped around her waist and held her there.
"Don't get involved, un. This is serious." Deidara whispered in her ears. "You'll just get hurt, un."
"But… But someone has to stop them."
"Nobody knows Tobi's true power. We don't want to get involved, un." Tobi and Sasori charged at each other. Miki closed her eyes and tried to block out the noise. 'Why does this have to happen? This is all my fault!' She opened her eyes and saw that Sasori's 'heart' was exposed. Tobi took a katana and charged at Sasori. Miki screamed and broke free of Deidara's grasp. She ran in front of Sasori before Tobi's katana pierced his heart. Tobi gasped and backed away. "Please stop the fighting…" Miki choked out and fell to the ground, blood seeping through her clothes. Sasori dropped to his knees and slowly pulled out the sword.
"Miki… Don't die on me…" Sasori whispered cradling her head. Tobi tried to get close to her but Deidara blocked his path.
"You've done enough, un." Deidara growled, sending Tobi a glare.
"Move!" Tobi shouted.
"Sasori-danna, get her out of here. I'll keep him here." Sasori nodded and picked up the limp body.
"Don't die on me," Sasori repeated before running towards the hideout. "Miki… Can you hear me?"
"Where am I?" Miki cried, she was desperate to go stop Tobi and Sasori. She walked around aimlessly in the pitch-black darkness.
"Miki… Can you hear me?" Sasori's voice echoed through the dark.
"Sasori! Help!" Miki shouted, looking for Sasori. A loud ringing echoed through the dark. She clutched her head and dropped to the ground. "Make the noise stop!" She opened her eyes and saw a light.
"Miki… What happened to her?!" Itachi's voice came from the light.
"Itachi!" Miki cried. For some odd reason she yearned for his touch, to hear his voice, to look into those onyx eyes. "Itachi! Help me!"
"How is she?" Sasori asked Kakuzu who was trying to heal her.
"She's struggling… I don't know what to do. He hit a vital organ." Kakuzu replied, "I've stopped the bleeding though." Itachi was standing on the other side of the room. He watched Miki's stomach rise and fall.
Miki stood up and ran towards the light. She had to see Itachi. She stopped at the entrance and tried to look in, but saw nothing. "Itachi?" Miki yelled trying to get an answer.
"Itachi…" Miki moaned quietly with tears falling. Itachi's eyes widened and he pushed Kakuzu out of the way. He grabbed her hand and held it tight.
"What is it Miki?"
"Are… you in…"
"In what?" Itachi asked. She was still alive and he wasn't going to let her go.
"Are you in the… light?" Miki whispered before going limp again.
"Miki?! Don't go towards the light! Miki!" Itachi shouted shaking her. Sasori grabbed him roughly and pulled him away.
"Don't hurt her!" Sasori growled, pissed that Miki had asked for Itachi.
"Don't go towards the light?" Miki repeated what Itachi said. Miki stared at the light and started to back away from it. But hands came out and grabbed her pulling her into the light.
I'm really sorry that this did not come out sooner! Please review! I just had to add the "Don't go into the light!" part!
