Konoha's New Yellow Flash

Between Life and Death: Miyu, Come Back!

It's cold. And dark. Where am I? Remembering the hits I took, I sighed. I guess I'm dead. Is this what its like to die?

Thinking about it, I smiled. As long as Naruto lives, I don't care.

An image of Sasuke flickered through my mind and tears left my eyes. That's right. Sasuke. I kind of left him behind. Images of Sakura, Kakashi-Sensei, Iruka, Choji, Shikamaru, Lee, Konohamaru, and everyone else crossed my mind.

I'm going to miss them all. I don't regret what I did. I'd do anything for Naruto. Even die. But . . . I cared about other people. I'm never going to see Sasuke, Naruto, or anyone else ever again. That thought alone brings sadness to me.

I wiped the tears from my eyes before looking around. So what now? Where exactly am I. Sure isn't Heaven. So am I in hell?

But it doesn't look like Hell. It's only dark. And I'm alone.

Alone.

Panic started to overcome me and I quickly sat down and hugged myself, trying to calm my ragged breathing.

No. No! I don't want to be alone! I don't want to! "Why are you scared?" Huh? I looked up to see a girl about my age with red hair and blue eyes. She wore a white mobile kimono and ninja boots. She looks familiar, but I can't quite place my finger on it.

Biting my lip, I answered. "I'm not scared." I lied. She grinned. "Of course ya are! Don't ya even know?" I glared at her and looked down. "I'm not scared."

She looked at me carefully before placing her hands on her hips. "Say, why are you so closed off?" She asked. I stood, keeping a calm exterior. "I'm not closed off. I'm just skeptic of some random uncultured girl in Hell."

She blinked before laughing. Then she turned angry and glared at me, a fire like vibe behind her. "Uncultured?! Are you picking a fight with me?!" I rolled my eyes. She sure has a temper. "I don't want to hear that from some dumb blonde bimbo."

Fire raged around me. "What did you say to me tomato brains?!" I roared, angry at this girl. "You heard me Blondie!" We glared at each other before lunging at each other.

I went to punch, but she dodged and did an undercut. As I was flung up, I moved my leg and kicked her under her chin. I groaned, as did she and we rubbed our chins in pain simultaneously.

She then grinned. "Hey, you're pretty strong aren't ya?" She admired. For some reason, a small smile made its way onto my face. "So are you?" We smiled at each other before laughing.

This girl, she made me forget my loneliness. She stood fast and walked over to me, before holding her hand out. "Sorry about that, I have a bit of a temper." I shook my head and took her hand.

She helped me up. "It's fine. I was just a bit surprised is all. So where exactly are we?" I asked. She shrugged nonchalantly. "I think we're somewhere between life and death I guess."

I sighed, scratching the back of my head. "Yeah, I guess that's right. So what do we do now?" I asked. She thought about it. "Well, I guess we just wait until our fates decided."

The thought of waiting for god knows how long alone in this darkness sent chills down my spine. "Well, I guess we have some say here. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be alone here in the dark." I looked up the girl, who was looking off thoughtfully.

This girl . . . She see's right through me without even knowing it.

She grinned and the darkness turned to a town. It looked like a festival. "What the . . . how-"

She laughed. "Well don't ya know?! I've been here for a while. I've been here for a long time. As it turns out, we can change the field. It's almost like an illusion, but a bit more solid. But it's nicer then the darkness. I-I'm afraid of it. Being alone. Especially in the dark." She answered honestly, looking down.
