I reached my house and entered to see my Father lying on the floor.

"Father?" I called him, when I didn't get a response I cautiously put my bag down and kicked my shoes off before hesitantly going to his side. I checked for a pulse, he was injured.

"He's... not..." I got scared and quickly ran through the living room. I grabbed the phone and called the emergency line.

"Hello? What's your emergency?" the woman on the other line asked.

"I need help. I came home and found my Father on the floor, I checked for his pulse, but he has none," I told her, trying to keep myself as calm as I could.

"Ok, miss. You're doing well, thank you for keeping yourself calm. Please tell me your address and I'll have an ambulance come to your aid," she told me, I zoned out as I heard something shuffling in the hallway. It can't be the butler because it's 6pm on a Friday, he has the afternoon off on a Friday.

"Miss?" she called for me.

"There's someone in my house. I'm not alone," I told her quietly as I placed my hand down on the floor to push myself up before freezing and looking down. Blood. Carefully I turned my Father over to the side and found there was a gash on his back, "my Father's back is slashed."

Shuffling sounded again and this time I stood against the doorframe and peeked out hesitantly, "yeah. There's definitely someone here."

My heart was racing.

Come on, calm down. Calm down, y/n. Take deep breaths. Keep calm.

"Alright, miss, please I urge, give me your address instantly!" she sounded more panicked than I was, so I told her my address in a low whisper, "stay on the line. Keep updating me. There is a team coming to your aid now."

"My Father's still in the corridor, I guess it's not the zombie apocalypse," I tried to joke and lighten the mood, more for her rather than myself. I had started to become numb to the panicking.

"The team is 4 minutes away," she told me, "do you know how to defend yourself against any attackers?"

"Yes. I am trained in martial arts," I told her.

"What's your name, miss? The team need to know your name," she asked me. It's a bit late in the call to ask for my name, don't you think..?

"I'm f/n l/n," I told her.

"Ok, y/n, hold in there just a little longer, they're 3 minutes away," she told me. But she said they were 4 minutes away 2 minutes ago!

The floorboard behind me creaked.

"They're behind me," I said almost inaudibly.

"Y/n?" she asked, "please repeat that."

I turned around to see a man all in black with a knife drowned in blood.

My breath hitched and I almost froze as the situation fell on me.

This isn't the ninja world. This shouldn't be happening here. How is this happening here?!

I don't have anything but my fists to defend myself here and this man... definitely twice my size, probably body weight as well. Anything he does could probably overpower me, so I'll need to use my size and speed to try overpowering him. I have to survive if I want to go back to Sunagakure. To Gaara. Temari and Kankuro.

"I'm sorry, miss. It would seem I forgot how my houses layout is," I told her, a tear rolling down my cheek almost involuntarily as I dropped the landline. Seems it didn't matter how my brain was, my body was reacting differently to the situation at hand.
