Chapter 1

Yuki quietly snuck up behind the shinobi’s back. She went to reach for her shuriken, when she felt a breeze behind her. “You might as well stop now. How could you, a mere child, think you could outwit us adults?” the other shinobi grinned. Yuki smirked. “What are you laughing at, Kid?” the first shinobi scowled. “You idiots,” Yuki said looking up and grinning. Then there was an awkward silence and the two shinobi’s fell to the floor, dead. Yuki turned around not surprised and walked up. “Yuki!” Hitoshi shouted jumping from the trees and landing in front of Yuki. Yuki stopped. “Yes, Hitoshi?” Yuki sighed. Hitoshi dropped his head. “I’m sorry…I’m really sorry, Yuki…” Hitoshi apologized. Yuki was silent. Hitoshi embraced her from behind, and Yuki turned and their faces met. They stared into each other’s eyes.

“I never meant to hurt you, I swear,” Hitoshi said getting ready to kiss Yuki. Yuki turned her head and scowled at the floor. “But…you did…” Yuki said tearing. “Zanku! Why are you not mad at him? He’s the one who ordered me to do it!” Hitoshi yelled. “Because…I can never be mad at him…He ordered me not to be with you…but I can’t be mad at him…” Yuki said scowling at the ground again. Hitoshi scowled at Yuki. She only smiled at him. “I love you, Hitoshi…” Yuki said turning around. Hitoshi quickly turned her back around and kissed her. Yuki’s eyes got big and she started crying. Hitoshi embraced her. “If I must choose between death and not being able to be without you…I choose death,” Hitoshi said. Yuki’s eyes burst into tears. Then Hitoshi coughed up blood. Yuki stared at him.

Hitoshi kissed her one last time and then suddenly his body was thrown against a tree. “HITOSHI!” Yuki shouted. Wanabe walked up with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. Yuki stared at Wanabe. He picked her up by her throat and held her up to a tree. Yuki grabbed his arm hoping he would release her, but he only squeezed tighter. Hitoshi tackled Wanabe to the ground and he dropped Yuki. Yuki coughed continuously. Hitoshi knocked Wanabe out and then he ran to Yuki. Right before he got there, his blood splattered all over Yuki and he fell to the floor. Hitoshi reached out for Yuki, and then his hand dropped. Yuki’s eyes were big. Wanabe wiped the blood on his lip off and he walked over to Yuki.
