Take Me Away
Free At Last
Disclaimer: Look at chap.1
One single tear slid down my face as I looked up at the twinkling stars. I saw a streak of light go by. A shooting star! I closed my eyes and started to wish upon the star. I wished that someone, anyone, would take me away from this horrible place. I would even settle for a partly normal life. I slowly opened my eyes when I was finished. I bit back a startled scream. Unblinking red eyes stared straight at me.
PS. Italics are thoughts and "h" is talking.
I opened my mouth to scream like any normal person would do. The scream never left my lips as the red eyed being jumped through my wide open window. A slightly pale hand snaked around my head and covered my mouth. Of course the next thing I do is try to get away and that worked for about, I don't know 3 seconds. The red eyed being, no guy now that I'm pressed up to his body I knew, pressed me up to a wall.
No use squirming now, the guy was more than twice my size. Although that isn't a hard feat since I am smaller than anyone I met. Oh shit huge ass walking fish jumping through my window! WTF, I've got to be dreaming!
"Hell there are more guards than I thought. This place is crawling with them" blue fish said.
"Take her she may be of use to us. She may know where he is." Red eyed guy said.
I fell hard against fishy when the red eyed guy pushed me. Holy shit, he is fucking tall! OMG now I'm freaking out! This guy could crush me with his pinky. What the hell are these guys doing here? Then it hit me. There here to kill master Ogawa. Shit, shit, shit! I heard about these people. Akatsuki. Last time they were sent to kill another master, no one survived. Not the master or any of the servants. Yes, I started to freak out. Who wouldn't, I was about to die. I never had a chance to live my life. Why does life hate me?
"Looks like this little thing is going to lead us to him. I killed all the other servants. Fuck this place is a goddamn maze. I already got lost twice in this fucking place." Fishy rambled on and on. God, he has really bad breath. Someone, please give him a mint. My thoughts and fishy's rambling got cut off by red eyed guy.
"Kisame, shut up."
Well fishy has a name then. Well good for him. Even an evil murderer has a name while I'm not fit to have one. Not fair.
"Girl, show us where your master is, if you want to live"
Well fuck them. They probably said that to every other 'guide' they picked up. I'll die if I lead them to master Ogawa and I'll die if I don't. Wait if they killed all the servants then all the guard are dead too. I can get away by going through some secret passage ways. Who said servants are idiots. It's a good thing I thought myself to show only the emotions that I wanted to show. So I only showed pure, undiluted terror. Not a hard feat I tell you.
"No funny business kid or else this kunai will be going through your throat" I'm sure that both of them would do it without a second thought. What did I get myself into? Why didn't I just commit suicide when I had the bloody chance? I only told them "This way" and started to lead them to the west side of the mansion. This side had the most escape routes, well hidden ones at least. They didn't know that, thank kami-sama for that. I was also sure that the master was here too. Maybe I can get them to attack master first then I can get away. Dang it, that won't work. Fuck it all, I'll wing it. Whenever I get a chance to get away, I'll take it however slim it is. I led them down a hallway that suddenly came to a dead end.
"The fuck, are you trying to get us lost or are you protecting your stupid master!" Kisame growled.
Okay that made me mad. No way in hell would I protect that monster.
"There is no way in hell I would protect that disgusting shit. Personally I'm thanking you for ridding the world of that monster. The reason why I led us here is because there is a secret passage behind that statue. I swear he's down there." Wow, that was the most I said at once in over a year. Shit, I'm going to die! I pissed them off way too much. NOOOOO! I don't want to die! I'm way too young! I… my thoughts got cut off by Kisame's booming laughter. He's laughing, not hitting or killing me. WTF?
"Now, this girl has spunk. She'd make an okay ninja, don't you think Itachi?" Wow big blue guy thinks I would make a good ninja. That's the first time somebody actually thought I was worth something. This guy went up a few places in my favorite person scale. Wait did he say Itachi? As in Itachi Uchiha? I'm soooooo going to die! How could I NOT notice the sharingan. Fuck I'm never going to get away. Relax, don't show any new emotions and don't demoralize yourself. You will get away and live a long and happy life. Maybe.
"Lead on girl" Oh shit, Itachi is talking to me! Okay don't freak out, don't freak out! I walked next to the statue on the left side of the hallway. I tried to push the statue out of the way but remember I'm extremely skinny and short so the statue moved soooo much.
"I can't move it but the passage way is behind here. Then we have to follow him through a maze of tunnels" Okay my plan is working, so far.
"You have to be kidding me! More mazes! I swear we better never get a mission like this again! Out of the way girl, I'll push this thing out of the way." I'm guessing this guy the brute strength kind of person.
"Wait, Kisame did you say that you killed everyone?" Itachi asked in his silky smooth voice. Now I heard it too, running footsteps a few hallways down.
"Guessed I missed one." Kisame sounded so disappointed. I had to suppress a shudder. Okay he goes down a few place in my favorite person scale.
"I'll deal with it. You keep trying to get that statue to move." Without waiting for a response, Itachi ran down the hall and the darkness surrounded him. I walked to the other side of the hallway next to the other statue and sat down next to it.
"Okay statue move!" He said as he pushed with all his might. It started to inch across and the opening started to show itself. Now or never. What the two akatsuki members didn't know, there was another secret passage behind the statue I was leaning against. I slipped into that passage. It was barely big enough so the men shouldn't be able to follow me. Just as I slipped in Itachi came back and quickly threw a kunai at me. It hit me all right, in the leg. Well there goes my slow decent into the passage. I couldn't help it but scream on the way down. Did I mention that the passage is a straight drop? I landed hard and wanted to just curl up and wait for the pain to stop but I couldn't incase Itachi or Kisame tried to kill me. I crawled to the opening, to safety THEN collapsed.
A FEW HOURS LATER
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around at my surroundings. OMG I shouldn't be resting, I've got to get out of here! I started to move forward again but I hissed in pain. Oh right, the kunai in my thigh. I reached down and ripped the kunai out. The width of the kunai and I would be way too wide for the passage. I kept the kunai in my right hand even though I'm sure it would be useless to me. I started to crawl forward again with a fierce scowl of pain on m face. I will live. I will live. I will live. That was the only thoughts running through my head. I finally got to the end of the passage and pushed on the rusty grate hiding the opening from the eyes of the servants. Well it didn't hide it from my eyes. I pulled by body out of the darkness into more darkness. Huh. I guess I slept the whole day away. Oh well, that's that. I slowly stood up, keeping my weight off my left leg. I limped forward but then stopped. I had no place to go. I had no clue what was outside the city walls. Ok, I really need to make better plans. I turned around in a full circle and decided to go south.
FIVE DAYS LATER
I walked, no limped, through a bright green forest. I thank kami that I never met up with anyone that wanted to do me harm. My stomach growled, again. I was following a river so I had a good source of water but I never had anything to eat in days. I was ready to eat anything that was thrown at me, as long as it wasn't poisonous. I sighed and leaned against a tree. Hopelessly I slid down the tree trunk. I looked down at my thigh. I was sure that the wound was infected and it hurt like a SOB. I stifled a sob. After all this, death by starvation has decided to visit me. I should have stayed with the akatsuki members. At least then death would have some fairly fast. But noooo I had to be stubborn. Now I was going to pay for it. Maybe I should drown myself, it would be faster…. No, I'm going to live! I pushed myself up and continued to follow the river in a daze.
A FEW HOURS LATER
I was still in my daze when I heard a voice.
"Hey you, halt! Let's see your papers." It was a guard that called out to me but my brain just didn't register it so I continued to limp forward.
"Hey I told you to halt!" He grabbed my wrist as I walked past him and pulled me back.
I'm guessing that's when I passed out because when I woke, I was in a hospital. I tried to sit up but a commotion outside my door drew my attention. Threw the window I saw a blonde boy running away form a pink haired girl. He was getting away till he looked back then he smashed through my door.
"Naruto, we're not supposed to run around in a hospital! Now look at what you did. I'm very sorry ma'am." Wow pinky saying sorry to me. Huh.
"Naruto, say sorry!" Okay pinky is getting scary.
"Sorry Miss ummmmm, what's your name?" Blondie looked sheepish. Name, well that's easy to answer.
"I don't have a name…" I'm guessing they could barely hear me because I whispered as low as I could.
"Well that answers my first question. Now where did you come from?" This very imposing looking woman with blonde hair asked me.
"Hello Lady Tsunade. We were just leaving, right Naruto?" Pinky said to Naruto in a sickly sweet voice.
"Right, bye Granny Tsunade and white haired girl!" Okay, he's really too happy for my taste.
"Okay, I ask again, where do you come from?" She said in a gentle mothering tone.
"I come from Master Ogawa's mansion." I'm free. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm free and I could live life without fear. I'll admit to it, I started to cry like a little baby. Tsunade left with a grave expression, leaving me to cry away all my pain for the first time in my life. I was free!
