Bloody Trail of Lies[Ch.4]Arrival of the 1st Exam![Next Early Morning]I rolled over in the bed, taking in a deep breath and nuzzling deeper into the pillow. My skin began to prickle and that brought me into awareness. Rubbing my eyes I peek out from under my lashes and freeze. My heart stops in my chest and I clutch the covers. At the end of the bed was a shadowed figure, the only thing visible were his red Sharingon eyes. Finally I find my voice and scream and fall off the bed, dragging the covers with me.Wrestling with the sheets I reach up on the nightstand and grab a kunai and look back over to the spot. They were gone, but my heart still thudded.“Kayumi?” I hear Gaara&
Bloody Trail of Lies [Ch.3] A Lost Memory! [Sasuke’s PoV]I watched from a branch as a sand ninja held Naruto’s little friend by his scarf. Naruto was obviously incompetent so I hurled a rock at him, which made him drop the kid. He turned to look up at me with a glare, the markings on his face arching together.“Kankuro, stop. You’re an embarrassment to our village.” A voice said from behind me. I was surprised, how did he get there so silently?“I apologize for any trouble he has caused.” The red headed sand ninja dropped down next to the hooded guy and the girl with the fan.“Stop. What’s your name?” I demand, jumping d
Bloody Trail of Lies (Redone) [Ch. 1]I ran beneath the magnificent star specked sky. The wind bit against my cheeks and I pull my cloak tighter around me. It was late and I had just finished a high ranked mission and was heading home. I approached the gates to the Sand Village and present the guards my paperwork. They wave me through with a nod. Slowing to a walk once inside I suck in the succulent air. I approach my house and put the scroll into my pouch as I unlock the door.I’ll bring it to the Kazekage tomorrow. I thought to myself as I kicked off my shoes and draped my cloak on a hanger. I make a beeline for the shower, desperate to get this grime off of me.After th
BTL [Ch.2] Journey to KonohaWe met Baki at the gates shortly after. He smiled at the siblings and gave me a withering stare. Two other Jounin were with us to accompany us there for protection. Not that we need it, I thought with a glance at Gaara. Baki explains the rout we will be taking and tells us it will take until tomorrow to get there. I hated overnight missions. With an inward groan, I set off after everyone.I ran and swung gracefully from the treetops. Everyone else was running below me a bit farther behind. I loved running through the trees, it’s much more fun.Suddenly someone appeared next to me on the branches and threw a kunai at me. I ducked but d
Humanity's DownfallI always knew we would be our own downfall. In the days before The End, I would go through the day as any other normal 19 year old girl would. I’d get dressed, say goodbye to my little sister Lacie, and head to work. At work I’d plaster on a smile, greet customers, and do my job. But working in a busy café in the middle of NYC gave me a lot of opportunities to see humanity when they thought no one was looking.In the day before the outbreak, it was unusually calm in the shop. I sat behind the counter, watching the news. It was a Monday and a lot of schools in town had off for teacher work day. It was early morning, about 6
Surprisingly, 2 years later, I look almost exactly the same.
