Chapter 7:

Hattori ran with tears streaming down his face, Sakura followed close behind muffling her own terrified sobs. The terrified screams of a shinobi being struck down made his ears ring. They should've stopped, Hattori knew they should've… they should've, for surely there were ANBU; the Hokage had promised him safety. But they couldn't stop, and there were no ANBU.

There were no ANBU. Only trees, only dirt, only Sakura.

There were no ANBU

The feeling of utter helplessness grew in the pit of Hattori's stomach, and he felt something hit the back of his knees hard. He cried out in pain with a stumble and fell to the ground with a choked sob. Sakura looked back at him, then behind him; fear, her green eyes were filled with fear; her head jerked back to the woods. Hattori watched in horror as Sakura took off. The beat of her shoes against the ground, the sound of hard ground meeting her soles.

Bap, Bap, Bap

She had left.

Bap, Bap, Bap

Without him.

Bap, Bap

She was gone

Ba- …

Why did she have to leave?

And there were no ANBU.

Hattori shut his eyes.

…Tom smiled, and opened his.
