"YOU STUPID FUCKING BITCH!" James, my boyfriend yelled as he got in my face.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU BASTARD!" I screamed back.

"WHO THE HELL SAID YOU COULD LEAVE?!"

"I DID DAMMIT! I'M SICK OF YOUR SHIT!"

"LIKE HELL YOU ARE! YOU BELONG TO ME!"

"SAYS WHO YOU PRICK?!"

"I DO! YOU'RE MINE!"

He tackled me to the ground, sitting on my stomach and keeping my arms at my sides. He pulled his pocket knife from his back pocket and opened it, grinning crazily as I looked up at him fearfully.

"You'll always be mine."

He ripped open the front of my tanktop and began carving into the skin over my right collar bone. I screamed, cried, writhed, but it didn't make a difference. Finally he put the knife away, smirking.

"Mine."

"YOU BASTARD!!!" I screeched, finally shoving him off me. I scrambled to my feet and ran for the apartment door, then went to run down the stairs, away from my exboyfriend and the place I used to share with him.

Something suddenly shoved me when my foot touched the first step down and I flew forward, tumbling down the long staircase, hitting my head on the way down, and seeing James briefly at the top.

With one last thump, my head hit the concrete floor of the lobby and everything went black.

"Border patrol is so dull," I said to myself as I walked, reading my ichi ichi. "Nothing ever happens."

"Ughhhhhh."

A soft moan from the bushes caught my attention. I put my book away and grabbed a kunai to replace it as my eyes narrowed on the bushes and I inched toward the source of the sound cautiously. Pushing past the shrubbery, I came upon a woman, long hair black and eyes closed tightly as blood oozed through the bandages going from her neck down, covering her chest but leaving her pale, smooth stomach bare. She wore black spandex shorts that stopped midthigh. Looking closer, I saw many bruises decorating her body.

"I should probably report to hokage-sama about this...." I sighed, putting my kunai away but not completely dropping my guard as I picked up the girl carefully, not sure if she had any broken bones or not. A small smile appeared on her thin lips as she snuggled into my chest and sighed. I shook my head and began running to Konaha.

"I have a bad feeling about this...."
