I'm becoming more active on discord so anyone just a fan of fanfiction, any of my current or future works, or just wanna vibe, come on through.
Discord - nJxvDjhtZs
Why did everything have to revolve around chaos? What had he done to deserve such cruelty? Were the God's upset at him over his decision to flee? From his family? From his family? Was it fate? Was this supposed to happen no matter what he did? Was this all just terrible, unfortunate, luck? Something so tragic could have happened to anyone else, couldn't it?
Tayuya…
He pushed her out of the doomed path of that ninja. In doing so, he took her place. Speaking of… what happened to the ninja trying to kill him? Better yet, where was he? All around lied nothing but the eerie silence in black.
The last thing he remembered was… was… the water. Was he under the river's rapids? Had he drowned? Is that why he couldn't see anything? No. That can't be right. His breathing… it's not there. It is but it isn't.
Had he died? Did the ninja get him? He didn't feel any pain so maybe that was it. Was he in the process of being judged? That could be why he's unable to see anything. Yeah… that makes sense. He's being judged…
Silence befell for only moments before his consciousness began once more.
He'd have to apologize somehow to Ms. Kurenai and Ms. Anko as well as Tayuya. He'd just made his first friend and he wouldn't get to experience life with her. Anko seemed so comforting too. Such a carefree attitude she showed off. He'd never had thought she could be so caring. Honestly, he felt bad. He hadn't gotten to know much about Ms. Kurenai…
Everyone… Sorry…
As if in response to his apology, a faint light emitted far off in the distance.
Huh? What's… that…?
With every second, the faint light drew nearer until it encompassed his vision.
Real World
"ACK! Pfft pa-tuee!" He gaspsed as water exited his body. "Ha…ha… huh…" Immediately upon blinking in coherence, his eyes meets the burning star high above. "I'm… alive?" He breathes out for a slight burning sensation to jolt. "Ow!" He wince looking to the slight burn on his arm.
He had to fight back the incoming teats. How'd he get such a nasty wound?
Attempting his best at recalling what he could, the last thing he could was falling into the water. Judging by himself, he'd washed up somewhere downstream.
"So I'm not dead…"
He was in fact alive. In pain, but alive.
Wait. Again.
"I'm alive!" This time not in disbelief but sheer joy. "Tayuya! Ms. Kurenai! Ms. Anko!" He cupped, winced, and then hollered to no avail. "I must have ended up farther down than I thought…"
Giving a quick glance at the way he likely came, then down to his very much drenched form, and finally back up.
There may be more ninjas. Tayuya should be find with the others but walking along the coast most likely isn't safe.
Taking a cautious step, he finds the rest of his body relatively unharmed. With the last of his inspection, he begins his trek through the forest.
Tayuya and co.
"Damn it!" Watching her friend resurface for the umpteenth time, Kurenai mentally curses words of her own as she watches Anko make her way up the cliffside. "He must have been dragged further downstream. Shit!" She growls.
"Anko." Kurenai calls earning her friend's attention. In doing so, her gaze goes to the young girl full of tears.
Kneeling down, she tenderly nudges the sniffling girl.
"Hey, Tayuya, look at me." Still wiping her wet eyes, the young girl croaks lifting up to the smiling woman. "Don't worry, we're going to find him. I promise, okay?"
"How… hic. How can you, hic, be sure Relon isn't…"
"Simple." She ruffles the tip of her red hair. Once again, the action causes Tayuya to look to find a smiling Anko. "He's tough just like you."
Grasping such words, Tayuya's whimpering simmers as she fully adjusts herself.
"You okay, kid?" A nod comes. "Good."
Picking up the girl piggyback-style, Anko looks in the direction the water flows.
"There may be more of those ninjas nearby."
Stepping off, chakra exudes from their feet as they run alongside the cliff.
"All the more reason for us to hurry!"
Relon
The way thus far had been slow. The burn on his hand had lessened but the occasional inner ache stung like a needle. Looking at the setting sun, a sigh escapes.
How long had he been panting for? How long had he been between limping and whatever type of staggered walking he was doing now? Likely hours given how early in the day everything went down.
"Everyone, please be safe…"
Suddenly, the sound of rustling catches his attention. Looking in the direction, several shadows zoom through the canopy. Hunkering down behind a patch of bushes, he peers through at the coast.
Landing; a ground of ninjas in the same attire that attacked them earlier.
"Damn it! We weren't told that the boy was being escorted by ninjas form the leaf! We don't stand a chance against skilled ninja like those women!"
"Yeah, you saw what they did to the others!"
"Cool it, you dolts!" One man snaps. "Our job is to deliver the boy! We don't have to fight those slutbags! Him falling into the river only made our job easier! Fan out! Report to the others to search both up and downstream. The rest of us will search the surrounding area. Fan out!"
"SIR!"
Hitting the dirt as some of the group leap overhead, his breath holds for seconds before he gasps.
"It's not the others they're after. It's me…!"
MDM11: Since you plan on having Anko, Relon, Tayuya, Zabuza, Haku and Pakura be in this group could you also add Raiga, Ranmaru, Kimimaro, Amaru, Jugo, Suigetsu and Karin
Already have plans for most of those characters :)
