Prologue
"Medic!"
Damn it…
Gritting her teeth, she strengthened the flow of chakra, eyes fixated on the motionless body laying beneath her.
"Medics!"
I'm trying!
Her hands shook, tears filling her eyes.
He wasn't responding.
Around them, the ground trembled, threatening to disappear beneath them, but somebody intervened, intercepting the attack and managing to divert it. It gave her the opportunity to target another of the many fatal injuries he had received while protecting them.
"Medics!"
Shut up!
"Don't die," she begged through clenched teeth. "Please. Please, don't leave me."
There was a blast somewhere behind them and she threw herself down to shield him from the debris that attacked them, hair obscuring her peripheral view, forcing her entire attention on the man below her, his bruised, bloody features making her heart lurch.
The second she believed it to be safe, she was up, once more attempting to stop the bleeding.
"Stay with me," she pleaded, stomach churning when she realised her knees were soaked, coated in a deep shade of red, similar to her hands and arms. "Don't die."
"Medics!"
Everyone was dying around her, their chakra signatures waning, flickering dangerously. Yet all she could focus on was his lifeless eyes staring at the canopy of trees above them, the sight chilling her to the bone.
"Itachi!"
