(SHIZUKA'S POINT OF VIEW)

I was sleeping, but not soundly. I was in the grips of my nightmares yet again. Being tortured was exhausting. I was on the brink of dying in my dream when I heard it. A slight creak sounded in my room and I was instantly awake, laying still as possible. Another small footfall sound accompanied by a creak alerted me immediately. I slowly grabbed the kunai I kept hidden in my pillow and lay, waiting as I cracked my eye open slightly. A shadow slowly creeped towards me, carefully placing their feet as the come ever closer.

The whole world seemed to freeze when he got near enough and leap at him from a resting position, only to meet my kunai with his. "What do you think you're doing?" I snarl as the masked man kicks out at me. My question is met with complete silence, making me slightly distracted. His other foot catches me in the side, throwing me backwards from the sheer force of it. I leap through my window, out into the yard as I let out a yell, covered in glass. "You're done!" I yell as I go on the attack. I quickly make a set of hand signs and Jump backwards to get a better range. "LIGHTNING STYLE! SHATTERING BOLT JUTSU!" I yell as I aim the wrath of heaven upon him.

My lightning style is quickly disturbed by a wind style sword slashing attack, dispersing it immediately. I make hand signs again, making sure to precisely infuse chakra. "Fire style, Phoenix Flower jutsu!" I cry out as I let loose on the enemy. The masked man jumps backwards. "Water style, Water wall." He counters my attack, then sends a wind style right at me. I quickly infuse chakra with yet another set of hand signs. "EARTH STYLE! MUD WALL!" I set up the wall and then jump backwards, turning on my heel to flee to a safer place to battle. My home would be destroyed if I went at full capacity.

As I exit into the street, I am set upon but two more adversaries, one with a sword and the other  coming at me with a red lightning bolt like jutsu. I quickly throw up another mud wall before Taking off in the direction of Kakashi's apartment. 'If I can just get there, I won't have to fight them alone or get civilians involved. And why on gods green earth are the after me anyways?' I think to myself as I leap from rooftop to rooftop. The first is right on my heels, chasing quickly after me as if he knew where I was heading. I jump down into the street, countering the kunai thrown at me only to face the second opponent. I quickly perform hand signs again, faster than I ever have before. "Lightning style, Wrath of god!" I yell as the world seems to explode, a series of flashes brightening the dark night accompanied by a devastating roar. I am thrown backwards, still only two blocks from where Kakashi lives.

My head is swimming as I get up, attempting to make a break for it before they can crawl out of the crater I just made. Before I can get away, the first ninja appears in front of me with a flash of speed and backhands me, sending me flying. "So strong!" I gasp as I pick myself up and make shadow clones. Eight clones of me appeared, five going to attack the enemy and three following me as I continue to run towards Kakashi's place. Unfortunately, I am cut short and am Thrown to the ground, the air knocked out of me.
