47Chapter 3 Men in White
Anko started on her journey with a heavy heart. But a simmering rage fueled her.
She made her way stopping from village to village when possible. She started on a main road that would have no breaks till her final destination.
She was swept up in her own thoughts while on the path. Kicking in or around her path any stones.
Then she heard it. A piercing scream reach her here. She took off to find whoever it was that was in distress. She saw them two men in white robes one of them had a hand on a women's head. She was whimpering now. Terrified eyes rolled back into her head. It was clear she was in pain.
"Hey you two!"
The taller one slowly turned towards her the other one didn't even seem to acknowledge her presence. She saw a bright light animating from the man's hand. Her instincts took over she volted into the air. Whatever it was it had missed her. She sighed in relief. Who were these guys?
She aimed a kunai at the tormentor's head. He lept back clearly surprised to be caught off guard. He looked up with cold dead eyes that were a creamy white with black centers.
"Striking snake jutsu!"
Snakes raced out of her sleeve.
The taller man got in the way and grasped the snakes in both his hand and threw them at least a mile away.
"Crap!"
She came at them with her taijutsu. When she landed a double kick on both of them she thought she had them.
*POP!* *Crunch!*
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Anko screamed as she felt her leg dislocate from her hip and her foot break.
She tried to get back up but her broken foot gave way. She fell to the ground and rolled onto her side. Her leg popped back into place.
"Gahhhhhhh!" She cried out.
She tried to get up but as soon as she got on her "good" foot the pain overwhelmed her and she started to fall again. This time she was now facing the man she'd thrown the kunai at. He walked forward quite gracefully and hit her square in the stomach.
She felt the wind get knocked out of her despite her clenching her abdominal muscles. She started gasping for air. She was looking down at her feet. As she'd gone limp in the taller man's retraining arms.
"I'm going to die here aren't I?"
"Please I just want to see him when I go. Please..."
She heard the sound of a blade being drawn and the sound of metal slicing through bone.
The man holding her threw her roughly to the ground. She started blacking out slowly.
"I'm dying aren't I? This time for sure..."
"Anko-"
She heard a familiar voice say.
Then blackness...
