Her heart pounded non stop in her ears as she ran, and her fear felt like and ever growing pit at the bottom of her stomach. Her breath came out in ragged gasps as her feet pounded at the dry ground beneath her. Suddenly a kunai came out of nowhere and flew right at her, aimed right for her heart. She screamed and spun out of the way. It stuck harmlessly in the trunk of the tree that was behind her with a dull THUNK! Unfortunately, when she spun to get out of the way, she had tripped over her feet and crashed painfully to the ground. She lay there for a second, dazed and then yelped as three shuriken flew out of nowhere and landed near her head. She scrambled to her feet and started to run again. As she ran, she realized that HE was leading her back towards the village, where she would have less places to hide and less places to run. She had no choice. He had boxed her in. It would have to be there. She had to stop running SOMEDAY. She had to make a stand. As she drew nearer to the village, she started to see the charred places that the fire had left. She knew she had to be getting close. She could feel the heat from the fires. She could faintly feel the vibrations in the ground. HE was close at her heels. She saw a wall of fire ahead, threatening her with its flames.
It’s now or never… she thought, and she braced her legs, and jumped through the flames. She had thrown her arms up over her face when she jumped, singeing them and her legs. She crashed to the ground painfully, landing on her burned limbs. She moaned in pain and rolled to her feet. Her eye’s blurred with tears momentarily as she took in the charred remains of her village. Everything and everyone in it… gone… nothing remained… her mother… her father… even her cat. All gone. She was completely and utterly alone. The fires still burned, with the scent of death was heavy in the air. She stumbled forward, passing the places she used to know until she stopped at her house. She ran inside, knowing that she didn’t have much time, and threw open her parents door. She grabbed the only weapons that remained: five kunai and her mother’s shuriken holster.
'I’m sorry mother…' she thought, 'but I need these…'
She strapped them on and hunkered down behind a pile of rubble with the heat of the flames against her back, waiting. She didn’t have to wait long. The ground began to shake, and the sound of heavy foot steps drowned out the sounds of the roaring flames. She dared to peak over her shield and saw HIM. He sat astride a huge beast of legend, and she could see him searching the area around him. As he did so, the beast threw back its proud black head and roared, scorching the sky with a massive tongue of flame from deep within its belly. Even the proud earth seemed to tremble at the sound of its cry as it echoed through out the valley. She snached her head back under her shield and covered her ears. Suddenly, her shield exploded, and fire and remains from her shield rained down on her. Her head snapped up, her blue eyes meeting HIS brown eyes, and her fear seemed to get the best of her for the moment as she scrambled quickly to her feet and tried to run again. However, the beast that he sat on vaulted its sleek body into the air, landing in front of her with a thud that shook the ground, and made her lose her footing. She gazed at him in fear as he slowly drew out a kunai knife.
“I’m sorry it has to be this way, little sister, but I can’t let anyone remain alive,” he said in a pained voice, “There has been too much pain here, to much pride. It’s sinful to live this way…”
“Is that why you killed Momma, Papa, and Takito? Is that why you let even your best friend die? Or little Morya? Is that why you did it??” she cried out, her little voice a weak challenge, “or is it what that man said to you when he gave you that mark on your neck? TELL ME!!!”
He looked at her with pity in his eyes, making her anger start to boil in her chest and push away her fear.
“I wouldn’t expect you to understand, sister, since you are to small to grasp the concept of the true meaning of good and evil. Our town was evil in the way that it was prideful. It had to be stopped.”
He looked at her again, raising the kunai over his head.
“Before you die, I just wanted you to know that I loved you very much before all this happened. Good bye, Sazaki.”
He threw it at her at such speed that she couldn’t dodge it. She couldn’t get out of the way.
“No… no…. Takashi, NO!! TAKASHI!!!”

Sazaki Otushima’s eyes snapped open as she screamed. She scrambled out of bed, tripping on the sheets as she tried to run. She scrambled to her knees and pressed herself against the bed, holding her head in her hands, her mind still in the dream. Slowly, her breathing retuned to normal, and her heartbeat began to slow.
'It’s okay….' She thought to herself…. 'J—just a dream… just a bad dream…'
She slowly pushed herself to her feet, finding her pajamas damp with cold sweat, and sat on the bed. She closed her eyes, forcing herself to think about the dream. It already began to slip from her mind, like trying to keep a handful of water in her hands. She swore softly and opened her eyes. The sky outside was still dark, and everything was covered in a sleepy silence except for the occasional scuttle of a person going to work.
'It looks like it’s still dark…' she thought… 'I wonder what time it is…'
Her eyes wandered over to her alarm clock on the bedside table. It read 3:00 am. She groaned inwardly, lifting her head up and pushing a strand of her dark hair out of her face at the same time.
“Aaahhhh…” Sazaki growled. 'And I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to get anymore sleep after THAT… might as well get some training in before I go to the academy…'
She got up and stumbled around, trying to find her stuff. She found her fishnet shirt and her ninja armor thrown on her dresser, and her violet tank top hanging up in her closet, along with her yellow-green shirt. She fished a pair of white shorts from a drawer in her dresser, and found her shuriken holster on her kitchen table.
'It’s a good thing I don’t have any parents or siblings… with all the noise I’m making at three in the morning, ANYBODY would have strangled me by now for waking them up…' she thought.
She opened the door to her hall closet, trying to find her hipbag, when everything came crashing down on her very loudly.
"OOOWWWW!!!!!" she swore angrily.
'Point proven.'
