lost, but not found. (Sakura)

[ryanowl]

Darkness engulfed Ryan as he walked throughout the Courtyard Maze. Ryan did not come here much, but he wanted to see what dangers were to be found in here, but that was a mistake when he found a large animal. His right arm was wounded, and he was still bleedind. There seemed to be no end to the maze, but he kept looking.

Soon, the near full moon shone light on Ryans trail. He didnt need the light to see, but it helped him see further where he was going.growing up in a forest, his eyes had becomed accustomed to the darkness, and could see almost perfectly where others could hardly see. His arm stung a little, and warm blood dripped off his fingeres, but he ignored it, and looked for the way out.

[Sakura Haruno]

The endless pit of black grew longer, it seemed to stretch and growl as She drew nearer. Sometimes it was eyeballs, or glittering fangs, maybe a dead body. It maybe was the shadows of her mind, or the elusions of the Maze. She herd a bell ringing. She looked forward…and behind her. What was this? Another bell? Was it her meeting sin again?
She reached out and grabbed onto a tree limb on one side, and her other hand touched another side.

”Reminds me of being claustrophobic…”

She said dully, I have to get out of here unless I want to die, witch may be a possibility. But she had to find something…Someone… Before she found out that she was really claustrophobic. Really the night didn’t freak her out, and dying had been a idea a couple days in the past. Maybe it was just a instinct to find a way out. Hearing a noise freaked her almost immediately. Just like a animal she jumped into a wall made of some trees and vines, it seemed to swallow her and she scrambled into it.
It felt like going to another dimension, the twilight zone. Very quickly after running barefoot through a wall of trees and thorns. It seemed to spit herout one hand hit the ground firmly. The other made a thunking noise. She quickly moved both hands on the item to identity it. Her hand slid down, it seemed to be ribs, then a wet feeling.

”ITS ALIVE”

Whatever the creature was it was dead, and seemed to rise Sakura to her being cool point. Its time to get outta here, gotta find a way out now. She rubbed the blood off on her shirt. Just as she turned around she saw a flash of moving red…Like a bloody animal, but bigger…She crawled on the floor towards it to identify what this was. She stood up.

”If you’re a bloody living dead thing, then you can kill me now, but otherwise I want to know who you…Wait you look familiar…Ryan owl ,we meet again, I remember you. But why would you be out here, are you some sort of monster in a form of someone I know? Sorry, its hard to tell. “

She didn’t hear a reply very fast which made her heart almost trip over itself. Come on you have to speak what ever you are, I’m pretty sure that your Ryan owl you thing, but speak…

[ryanowl]

Ryan walked on, in the dim moonlight, but then clowds started to engulf the moon, engulf him. It was like being at his village again, but it was different. There was no fire around him, and he wasnt almost dead. He wasnt fighting for his live, and the life of his love.

why did the demons need to attack my village. Why did they slaughter them all, and left me for dead. Why is it that I could find all the people that were fighting.

Ryan has lost the love of his life that night. She seemed to dissapear from the face of the earth. It was too hard for him to think of.

"Why did they all need to DIE!" He yelled the last word, and kept walking on into the darkness. There is no one here that shairs my feelings, now how I feel. Not one damn person her accually knows who I am

He was swimming in his newfould guiltg and memories, missing a voice that was speeking to him. He wasnt immeadatly brought back tol earth. It wasnt until after she was done that he spoke.

"If you are the angle of death, find your catch elsewhere. I will sooner kill you than let you take me to hell." His foice was hallow, but had some twisted evil in it. once he focused his swimming vision of the person did he reconise her. "Sakura...." His voice was almost silent.

If anyone knew how he felt, it was her. She was in love with someone who couldnt love her back. Hw know how she felt, but she could feel Ryans emotions.

[Sakura Haruno]

”Dunnot worry, I am not very close to the angle of death but that could be my knew look.”

She chuckled slightly. Looks like your not the only one having a bad time…She thought, thinking of the way that his voice has sounded. Maybe she could ask him how to find the way out of the maze.

”Probably a bad time to be out this late, in a place like this, has death written all over it.”

She said this more friendlier than she had expected. She had overdid herself trying to do the maze at such a late time.

”I’m glad it is really you, I was about to pull out some kunai, have you found the way out yet? This place is horrible! Its like drowning in darkness, we should find a way outta here and to be safe it would be best to do it together, wouldn’t you think, this place seems like true horror. ”

She moaned quietly, Ok, Ryan owl, I hope that you can really find the way out of here, I’m not much of a hope but to keep you awake She thought.

”It feels like someone is watching you at all corners, like the walls have eyes.”

She chuckled again and leaned against a wall if trees. Waiting to see if Ryan had any suggestions, or warnings, or a instinct to find the way out of the dark uncomfortable palace.

[ryanowl]

As he waited for sakura to stop talking, the drip drip of his blood in its own puddle came to his ears. Ryan rested his left hand on his wounded arm. Dams this wound. I shouldnt have came here in the first place. I was stupid.

"We should look for the way out of here together, yes. I hate this place." As fast as the storm clouds formed, it started to rain, joining his blood and the fluids ran to Sakura's feet.

"I expect that we are being watch, and I dont want to meet the watchers. I 'met' one, and it is now dead somewhere, but I did have some problems, though."

He winsed, thinking of his wound. As the rain started to become harder, a full on storm, he took off his red kimono. "Here, this should keep you dryer than you are now."

He draiped his kimono over her sholders, and her head. It was a makeshift raincoat, but it would keep her warm and dry in the cold rain.

[Sakura Haruno]

It felt odd having blood draining onto her feet, she moved slightly so she could get out of the way of it. She examined his wound a little.It looks terrible, how can he stand that pain?She asked herself in wonder. Then closed her eyes, thinking of what would happen if they met another one.

"Yes, I wouldn't want to meet one either, I don't think I'd want to be as cut up as you are right now, it looks horrible, I've never really had a cut like that before, If we get out you'll need to get to the hospital wing fast."

She could almost feel the pain he was in but not exact. Suddenly, she felt something hit her shoulder, looking up she saw a storm forming. She twitched. Rain...She had a face as if she were a cat left outside in thunder and lightening . But then Ryan gave her his Crimson kimono, it was a relief for her.

"Thanks, I hate rain, allot, for some reason, but I don't remember why..."

We really need to get out of here, the rain washed some of his blood off her feet, and it burned her scratches. She twitched in pain. This was one of the most uncomfortable places she had been in a while, it was pretty dumb trying to take and crush the challenge of making it through the heartless place.

[Sorry about it being shorter, didn't have much time... ]

[ryanowl]

As the rain kepted falling, ht made his blood run thin and faster, but it was spred out in a larger area. It wouldnt go to Sakura much longer as it was going in all direction.

"This gouge in my arm will heal itself over time, and it wont take long. I had much worse before, and it doesnt pain me as much as it should, and it only looks as bad as the one who looks at it. Like you look at it like can kill me, but it isnt that bad."

Sakura seemed to be relieved to have his kimono on her, and it would also protect her from whatever creatures still lurk in the maze. They needed to find shelter under a tree or somthing, and that is what he saw behind Sakura. He put his arm around her sholders, turning her around.

"I think I see shelter over there. We that should be the safest place to be until the storm lets off, and when it is daylight. We should stay there."Ryan started to walk over there.

[Sakura Haruno]

The rain began to harden, it felt like solid buckets of water falling over them. And at that point Sakura would do almost anything that Ryan or anyone else would ask her just to get out of the disaster. The only hope she had was with ryan owl, his kimono, and a tree for shelter. She understood about having to stay at the place over the night, Ryan owl probably knew more than she did about keeping alive in a wild area.

Even though ryan said that the wound wasn't bad, it still made her feel weird when ever she looked at it, but with someone like him he was probably right about it healing and not being so bad. She was probably over-reacting because of all the excitement the maze had brought. She could hear what Ryan was saying but didn't translate it in her mind till she saw him leaving her sight. Twords the tree he had faced her to.

"Ok, I just hope that we can trust the tree, that its not possessed and alive, and it can hold through the storm without collapsing."

But soon she found herself stepping to the tree that Ryan was by. Her picked herself up and ran over. The thought of people watching gave her the chills. She looked at the tree for a while, this must be what people lost have to deal with, is that what they were? Lost...Sakura herself wasn't very used to camping outside all night, she probably never did it before.

"Oh well, maybe this can turn out to be better, we could look back at it in the future and think of how neat it was...Like...Camping...But different."

After talking she sat down at the roots of the tree between two large ones and began to make herself cozy, it it was true to be comfortable in a place like this...She sighed, all she could do pretty much was sleep, keep watch, and talk. Why had she come out here, to kill herself? How foolish.She would probably be throwing knives at dirt in the night...

[ryanowl]

"If this was camping, we would be having fun, not undernieth a tree trying to keep out of the rain and wind."

He sighed and shivered. He was soping wet and to make matters, the wind picked up and blew on the. Sakura seemed to mostly avoid the wind between the roots of the tree, but Ryan couldnt do anything but stand there. It wasnt the best idea, and the wind was stinging hsi wound, so he layed down about a foot from Sakura's feen, and but his hands behind his head, relaxing.

"How could this happen. About the only good thing that happened today is that I met you here in the maze, byt niether of us could get out of the storm, and I dont have my wand to send up red sparks, but that wouldnt help much in this rain."

He growled a little, thinking of how the storm had snucked up on them, and it looked like it wouldnt let up for the rest of the night. They would be stuck here til then. At least Sakura would be warm under his kimono. That was a good thing for her.

[Sakura Haruno]

" I agree, I guess I just never have been camping before, this is more like Survival of the fittest, not really who has the most adventure..."

She thought silently, because there was nothing else really to do. At least she had found a friend, and not a foe, and that they were more likely to survive together. It had a strange feeling having her life on the line without doing it herself, or maybe she did put her life on the line herself by coming there in the first place. A chill rattled down the core of her spine.

"It must be minutes after midnight, or it seems, maybe the storm is making it this cold...Are your sure that you can survive this?"


She ended her talking, she'd might as well save her oxygen, A large sized black snake seemed to hover one the ground silent and deathly, a outlining of its tiny scales refected in the moonlight faintly. She kept silent. A flicker of lights came from the sky, at one point it was as bright as day almost, but with a paler blue. The large snake flexibly slid over some roots of the tree, then disappeared faint and slow in the moonlight.
She looked over to see if Ryan had seen the deadly creature coming twords him in the dark. But his face seemed to be covered in shadows, it was hard to see what he was doing emotionally, he seemed to be thinking, so she had rather not to interrupt him. The next creature was something like a small bird, small enough to fit in her fist. It could have almost landed in her lap, but something had seemed to scare it. Shortly later, she almost thought she had seen another creature about the size of a small and fat pig, but she couldn't tell because of the heavy shadow.
She felt like killing a tiny critter, smaller and weaker, more hopeless and less able to survive. It would make her feel like the preditor.


[OOC] Sorry I had not been faster, Cable went out...We are moving, and its not that long either ]

[ryanowl]

Ryan laughed a little. He didnt know why he found Sakura's Comment funny, but he did for some unknown resion. He had grown up living in a place like this, and he would be fine, well, fine enough without being inside of a hut.

"I can survive this without too much problem. There is a good posibility that I will get cold, but so would anyone else who is soaking wet laying on the ground. Just relax, we will do beter if we conserve our energy for other uses."

He looked at her, smiling slightly, then looked away. There was a look of lost in her eyes, and somthing that seemed like she wanted to kill somthing. He wouldnt say anything about this. He thought he could feel what she felt, loosing someone. He had felt it before he came here, and all of his emeories have started to come back to him once he had met Sakura.
