Five years later

Reika was running for her life. As she ran, tears were streaming down her face, as she panted for breath, bare feet pounding hard on the ground as she tried to escape her pursuers, an angry mob of Konoha villagers.

The pounding of feet coming behind her only made her run even faster. They were gaining on her.

Reika didn't understand why this was happening to her, or even why they were chasing her. All she did was ask for some food.

Since getting kicked out of the orphanage, it seemed that the villagers of Konoha had it in for her. For some reason, they seemed to hate her, and she didn't even know why.

Reika continued to run; her face now flushed red, from lack of oxygen. She was slowing down now, as she no longer had the energy to keep running. Reika knew she had to do something fast in order to make her escape. She, while having high stamina, wasn't at a level where she could run from adult civilians, never mind the few shinobi that she knew were in the mob chasing after her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw an alleyway, that she thought lead to another district of the village. If she was right, then would be able to make her escape, but if she was wrong…well hopefully Reika will never know.

Reika, as she got closer to the alleyway, saw her chance, and turned sharply into the alleyway, long blond hair streaming behind her, as she did so.

Almost immediately Reika realized that she was wrong. Instead of the clear path that she was expecting, there was instead, a dead end.

No! Reika screamed in her head. She went to turn around and out the alleyway only to stop abruptly, as she locked eyes with a dozen or so hate-filled eyes.

It was the villagers. They had finally caught up with her.

She quickly backed away from them, as they started to close in on her. She continued to back away until she felt the cold hard sensation of stone against her back.

"There's no escape for you demon!" a villager yelled out

"Demon" Reika said in her mind, as she trembled with fear

"What did I do"? She asked, lips quivering as she did so

You killed them! Another villager yelled out

"And because of what you did, we are going to do to you, what you did to our families! Another villager added

The cold feeling of dread seeped into Reika's bones, as for the first time since running into the alleyway, she saw the weapons that were dangling in their hands.

Amethyst orbs widened, and she started to pant in fear. While she knew that the people of Konoha, besides a select few, hated her, Reika did not know that they hated her as much as they did that they would go as far as to hurt her.

"I didn't do-…" She started to say, only to be cut off by another villager

"We don't want to listen to your excuses you monster", screamed a woman with emerald eyes

The mob grew closer, raising their weapons high as they did so

Tears started to pool in her eyes, as Reika tried one last time to change the villagers mind

"Please" she said, voice quivering, "Don't do this, I swear, I didn't do-..

The mob attacked and Reika screamed as she had never screamed before as she felt the weapons tear and rip into her skin

By the time they were done, Reika was a bloody mess on the alley floor. Suffering from a punctured lung, Reika was just about to faint from blood loss when she heard the sound of a zipper being undone.

Her eyes, bleary from tears and blood from her wounds, weakly looked up and locked eyes with lust filled ones. It was one of the shinobi that had been chasing her.

The shinobi chuckled cruelly at her and said" Don't faint now demon, the fun has only just begun"

Tears slowly started to renew in amethyst orbs as Reika struggled, despite her injuries, to get up.

Reika may have been young, but she wasn't stupid. She may not have known the details, but she knew that if she didn't get up now, she was going to get raped.

A sudden kick at her side ceased all her struggling and caused her to cough blood

With a whimper of pain, Reika could only watch as the shinobi and some of the villagers approached her. She could only scream out in pain and terror as she felt her clothes being ripped off and something hard being thrust into her

Reika for next few hours was in a world full of pain.

When they were finally finished raping and torturing her, they left her, naked and covered in blood and other unmentionably body fluids in the alley way to die

Reika stared blankly ahead of her. Her eyes that were once expressive and glowed with life were now dull with pain and disbelief.

I…don't want to die…..she said brokenly in her mind

Pl…please….I don't….want to…die….she said again in her mind
