Kiba's POV.

When I saw Naruto, I was curious. When I saw him running, I was suspicious. When I saw he was running towards me I worried. When I smelled her blood, my heart spluttered. When I saw her in his arms, in the state she was in, and him of all people holding her, my heart felt broken.

He was gasping and his eyes were glossed over as he ran lob-legedly to me, panicked. I tripped trying to stand up and run to her at the same time. My feet scrambled and I dashed dazingly to her as Naruto's knees gave out. He just held her gently close to him and let thin tear drops fall on her face, as he moved her wet, crimson died hair behind her ears.

He must be heartbroken, seeing his first friend like this but I didn't care. Keira was in trouble and his feelings weren't priority. I looked down at her pale, still form. Lifeless. Dead.

no

NO!

NONONONONONONO! SHE ISN'T DEAD!!!! I WON'T LET HER DIE!!

Naruto peered at my face, forming so many clashing emotions at the same time. Sad, angry, irate, afraid, fear, hope, angst, shock, empty, and longing.

"Help her." He pleaded, tears marring his words. I wanted to growl. Where was he? Why didn't he help her? He should have been there! Who did this? I WILL KILL THEM.

I picked her up and pulled her close and glared cooly.

"If you were the one that hurt my precious nakama, I will end you. " I turned swiftly and whistled for Akumara. I hopped on his enlarged form's back and held my girl closer to me. Her blood continued to seep out of her in great quantities, evacuating her paling skin and relaxation itself onto Akumara's fur and all over me. I didn't look back at Naruto's slightly shaking figure behind me as Akumara whined at Keira's lovely scent being doused by her own blood.

We set off for the medical clinic quicker than I had thought my familiar could go. 'Thanks buddy, I promise that she will be okay. I know she will.'

I hadn't even known her long but everything about her was perfect. Her warm, gorgeous brown eyes. Her silky soft long brown hair, laced with beautiful light and dark layers. Her kind yet fierce personality. And her mystery. Something that set her apart from everyone here, or how she would look forlornly or sadly at certain people like the Hokage or Kakashi and even Naruto. It was like she knew so much more she couldn't say. Like how she knew Naruto's name when he had never told her or how she seemed to recognized Akumara and I.

My thoughts were cut short halfway to the clinic when Keira started shaking. I looked down and gasped. Her mouth was hanging open limply and her already weening amount of blood made a steady drip out of the side of her wide open blank eyes and her nostrils and mouth. Her slender figure shook and rattled uncontrollably, arms flipping up and down, torso just shaking. A seizure. Possibly a severe one.

It was like something out of a night mare. When we learned about this kind of stuff in medic class and even seen videos of it, it looked much less terrorizing.

My breath caught in my throat, I couldn't breathe as her body seemed to struggle against mine. What were you supposed to do in this situation? I don't know, I can't think. I could almost hear her broken ribs grinding together. I felt the bones move through my arms. I was crying by then.

I hadn't known her for long but seeing this happen to anyone, never less her, it broke my heart. I was talking to her, trying to get her to stop, knowing that it wouldn't work because she wasn't in control of her body.

"Keira, stop. Please just stop moving. We are almost there. I'm sorry, please stop" I held her in a sort of hug while she shook erratically. "Stop! Please! Your.... Your scaring me. Keira. Help" I smelled something again. I assumed when I smelled Naruto's scent on her, it was just because carried her to me, but I smelled him in her wounds. He..hhurt .... Keira? My Keira and his only friend? No. But my nose never lies. I don't know!!!

I whispered in her ear "It will be okay, we are almost safe okay? Just hold on. I promise when we get back I.... I will take you shopping or or on a date or maybe just to hang out. Just hang o...." I stopped talking. We were outside the clinic, only maybe 2 minutes away with Akumara's sprinting. I sighed in relief and relaxed. It was gonna be ok. They could help her.

All of the sudden her body arched in my lax arms and she screamed mindlessly. It was the most terrorized and heart gouging scream that anyone could imagine. Then she let out a deep breath.

......

.....

.....

And didn't take one in.

...

......

Her heart stopped.

Or was it mine?

....

I pulled her tight again. My face against her cheek.

"Keira, wake up. Wake up we are here. Wake up. C'mon. Wake up!" I shook her lightly. Her head lolling to the left. "Wake up Keira! iI'm not joking! WAKE UP!" I shook her not as lightly and hiccuped a little.

Three medical nin ran out as they heard Keira's scream and noticed me crying and holding a bloody corpse.

They hollered at me and Akumara growled and bowed as Keira bled on his usually snow white fur. I couldn't hear them though. I stroked her her head and hair and cooed. "Hey, you gotta wake up now ok? I know your sleepy but you can't sleep so wake up? please?" my words trailed off as I got quieter and quieter until it was mindless jumbles if what were once words.

I finally heard the medics and turned my attention to them. I sobbed softly

"Help her"
