Naruto POV

I got to the clinic and saw Keira's body being carried on a stretcher. She didn't look living.

II'm to late??

I slowed then full sprinted to where she was being carted away. Kiba stopped me and looked up to me.

His eyes were swollen and red and he looked defeated. "Let them take her. We can't do anything now. She took a blow to the temple and bled out to much. "

I stepped back slowly.

I didn't save her.

I let her go.

I was the one that hurt her.

Keira

My friend.

My only friend.

I didn't even know her really.

I fell over on my back. I don't want to move. Kiba picked me up by the collar. He was enraged and full of fury suddenly.

"You. You did this to her. You killed her. I smelled you in her flesh. YOU SICK FREAK!" He punched me in the face but I only winced. "SHE WAS YOUR FRIEND! YOU MONSTER" he threw me on the ground.

"I didn't kill her. " I said up to him shakily, still not taking the news well. "I couldn't hurt her if I wanted to". And that was true. She was like an angel to me so why would I ever want to hurt my savior? It was like some cruel joke. Making a clone and perfect impression of me and killing her.

"What?" he picked me up again. "What did you say? Your lying! I know you are!!"

"II'm not. A man in a mask made a clone of me and beat her with it. " I winced a little and explained what I had seen. His eyes widened with shock and he dropped me.

"Why didn't you get to her faster? She will not survive, we were both too slow. " His bangs covered his eyes but not his tears.

"She is strong. Believe it! She will come back! I know it. !!" A voice warned me she was immensely strong but I saw it as a sign Keira will be ok instead of a warning.

The head medical nin dashed out and called for us, cutting our conversation short.

'She might be dead' my heads rational side warned me

'She might not be' the more hopeful side of my brain argued

The Doctor signaled for us to follow quickly. We ran to her room and she was Alive.

Sort of.

But not really.

Her eyes were pitch black and crying blood tears and she was laughing hysterically. She was struggling against the 16 nurses holding her down. Woah. What was going on?

She stopped laughing and moving and laid down. She flipped her head to Kiba and I standing, mouths gaping, in the hallway. She grinned even wider and gazed fiercely at us

"Hello boys. I have been waiting to hurt you."
