Chapter 17
Haunted
Kurenai awoke the next morning to find Rin sound asleep in the chair next to the bed. She slowly got out of bed and walked to the balcony that broke away from her room. The wind swatted at her hair and pushed it out of her face to reveal tears.
" Kurenai? Oh, there you are, I...whats the matter?" Rin walked out and stood with her friend.
"I...I let him go. I just sent him to get killed." Rin watched as her friend shook.
"Kakashi is with him. They'll be alright. Those guys are pretty tough you know." Rin smiled slightly at this fact.
They were tough. They were strong. But...were they strong enough to stop Orochimaru?
"Rin...please forgive me."
"Huh-" A sharp pain erupted in Rin's stomache. A cold fist had made contact and she was slowly loseing conciousness.
"Kurenai...I...uh.." She passed out and was left there.
Kurenai jumped down from the balcony, almost 5 floors, and landed on the ground softly. She ran to the gates at the front of the villiage and passed right by them.
Hang on guys. You won't be able to beat him if I'm not there, you'll need my power.
She continued running, unaware the same people who had captured her the first time were still on her trail.
