Trying to bang these out, since they are shorter chapters and because beginnings make my head spin. They will so get longer as it goes on, promise. Whenever i pick up a book, I read it backwards. So I would probably be more content to write stories backwards. -_- Using coffee to keep me writing early in the morning and late at night. Oh and i'm operating under the belief that the narutoverse and all others have bacon. Who doesn't have bacon?

Amare's patient began to stir as she finished healing his wound. It never crossed her mind that he may just use the opportunity to kill her instead of thanking her for saving his life. The stranger opened his eyes and stared at the girl with an expression of confusion.

"Did you just help me...?" He looked skeptical. "What are you even doing out here?"

He doesn't know... Amare gave a mental sigh of relief.

"I came across you like that. You seemed as if you needed some help. What happened?" She didn't even have to ask, she already knew.

"Senju." He hissed, the anger from his recent fight resurfacing. "Those bastards got away...this time."

Amare winced at the venom of his words, but also felt relief. Got away? Good...

"I'm sorry...Oh. Let me help you." Noticing him struggling to stand, she placed her arm around him and allowed him to lean on her for support as he stood up. The boy looked reluctant to accept her help, but was left with little choice since no one else seemed to be around.

"You'll still be weak for a little while." She debated her next move carefully. Helping him back to the rest of his group could mean certain death... Despite the obvious risk and grim feeling in her gut, she proceeded.

"I'll help you to wherever you need to go, or until you are okay on your own."

"Thanks, i guess..." He was clearly skeptical of her, but once again, had little choice but to accept the stranger's help.

They began to make their way slowly towards the direction he said. "There's a small camp near by. It shouldn't take long to get there. Um...by the way, why were you even out here? We are kind of in the middle of no where."

Amare froze. "Uh. Well, there are...plenty of..." She struggled to find a plausible reason "wild pig?"

He rose a brow in response. "Wild pig?"

Amare laughed nervously "Yeah! Bacon."

"Right." They fell silent. After several minutes, she spoke again.

"So what's your name?"

"Izuna."

"I'm Amare." He doesn't know me, right? Great, Tobirama is going to KILL me.

He said nothing in reply so Amare concluded he wasn't in a speaking mood.

Suddenly someone dropped down in front of them from the trees.

"Izuna! Are you alright? Who is this?" He looked from Izuna to Amare questionably.

"Amare. She helped me out back there."

She felt his eyes boring through her, as if he knew exactly who she was. He knew, she was sure of it, and this would be the end.

"Amare...Thank you for helping my brother." He walked over and allowed her to let go of Izuna and helping him instead.

Surprised and eased by his reply, she nodded. "You're welcome."

Izuna and his brother turned and started to walk away, when Amare overheard Madara's words.

"Come now, brother, the Senju escaped eastward. You need to rest so we can pursue them later."

He did that on purpose? Hm. Thanks. Amare left in that direction immediately to find her family.

Madara glanced back in her direction as she took off. Much like Hashirama.
