CURSED IS THE MAN WHO DIES ---- BUT THE EVIL DONE BY HIM SURVIVES

“Safe tunnels” she said before, her voice reaching an urgent tone. “Get as many out of here.” That was all May needed to hear and she was on it, immediately searching for exit routes of the city. The tunnels could definitely be an option but they seemed closer to the east gates themselves – but at the gates there was probably trouble, so she didn’t know which route to take. The nurse was suddenly moving, May had missed her command while she was thinking, and the movement in the dark figures and the crowd of bloody people coming towards them was enough to pressure May into leaving, falling behind the nurse and keeping pace. The little her seemed to be holding onto for dear life, and May could only know how she was feeling, not knowing what was going on. “Who are you?” May, now slightly ahead of her, leading the way, glanced back at the nurse. “Eh?” Not knowing if she heard her right, May questioned the nurse. “I said,” she spurted out in between her heavy breaths. “What’s your name?” Realizing she might be tired, May slowed down, thinking the empty street could be safe for a few moments. “Oh, I’m Akemai.” She cocked her head to the side and smiled at the little girl. “May for short. And you?” She was about to try to be friendly despite the fact that they were probably in danger, but her worry seemed to find its way out of her mind for a moment – but a moment to early.

Two men appeared in from of them and May jumped back immediately, pulling her hand out in front of Tanbai, who had muttered her name right before the ninja appeared. Feeling foolish, May snarled at both of them, but realized her headband seemed to not be on her forehead any longer. She would have got down on her hands and knees to find it if her life wasn’t in danger, but that didn’t seem to be the case. Instead her eyes lingered to their headbands and she almost gasped. “Sand shinobi? I thought. . I thought it was just Mist ones.” Her voice trailed off into utter disgust as she remembered the conversation from the other day and she grimaced. “Where do you think you’re going’ pretty lady?” He gave a smirk and seemed to be talking to Tanbai. “Big boss man says we gotta kill every last one of you bastards.” May wanted to lash out and hit him but she didn’t intend on dying yet, both were yielding weapons and seemed bloodthirty, and Tanbai and the ltitle girl was still standing behind her. May needed to think. “Aye,” the other one said, his hair was fair and his face wasn’t as menacing as the other, but his words proved to be just as disturbing. “We can kill the other one - lets have some fun with her first. She ain't half bad lookin'” The way they referred to May as is she wasn’t there would have really pissed her off if she was paying attention, but her mind was too busy thinking of a plan, and then didn’t seem to be making any sharp movements – neverless, her eyes trailed around their joints and feet, making sure they wouldn’t move anytime soon. “Sounds like a plan ta me, man.” The dark haired one talking again, but May’s mind was still racing. Think, think! She urged herself on, ideas popping up in her head. “You hear that, bitch? My partner and I are gonna have a lil' fun with ya before we cut yer fuckin' head off. I hope yer ready for us.” Just the word “bitch” brought May back and she began to format her plan.

“The only ones losin’ their heads will be you.” She hissed and swiftly reached into the gourd that rests on her sid,e her armw as already lingering there to begin with. Instead of pulling out a shuriken, she thrust her Hikari out at their feet and spun around, latching her hand onto Tanbai’s wrist. “C’mon!” She slurred her whisper, dashing off in the opposite direction, running a block or two before pulling her behind a building that still seemed intact. Her breathing was off and she felt fatigued, but May figured it was mostly from fear. Pushing the huffing nurse up against the wall, she peeled off and glanced behind her, a blinding light just burning down. “I-I don’t know where they are, but. . we need to stay calm and quiet. I’m thinking of a plan.” She was more talking to herself then her, and the nshe realized the little girl. “You two need to get to safety. . I’ll, I’ll do something. Or maybe we can run, they might lose interest.” May knew that wasn’t the case, but felt like speaking words of hope. She had no idea how Tanbai would react, but she feared the thought of losing two innocent citizens, especially one who her sensei seemed to become fond of quickly. “ I don’t know. .” She whispered, panicking. “I really don’t know. .”
