On the Run

I stop and look up at the full moon hanging brightly in the sky. It illuminates the deserted highway I'm walking on. The only sounds I can hear is my labored breathing and crickets chirping softly in the undergrowth on the side of the road. I pull up the sleeve of my black hoodie to check my watch. The numbers shining on the face tell me it's a few minutes after midnight I don't know where I'm going or how long I've been walking, but I know I can't stop. Not yet. I take another deep breath and pull off my hood to retie my midnight blue hair back into its ponytail. My grey eyes scan my area again before I take off walking at an even pace trying to her as far away as I can before morning light. I pull my hood back on as I go and count my steps.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

I need to get away, I think to myself. There should be an interstate close, so maybe I can get a ride. Headlights light up the road under my feet and in front of me. My heartbeat sky rockets and my blood runs cold. Every fiber in my being is telling me to run, but I force myself to keep a steady pace and my head down. How did they find me so soon? I didn't leave a note and I packed everything I could that's untraceable. I play through in my mind all the things that can happen to me if they catch me again when the car stops at my left and the driver rolls down the window.

"Hey," the driver calls, obviously male judging by his smooth baritone voice. "Do you need a ride or something? I swear I'm not going to try anything on you miss." He leans over and opens the passenger door for me. I stood there watching him for a minute, debating whether or not to take his offer. "I swear I won't try bite, unless you want me to that is," he chuckles at his own joke and I can't help the smile that crosses my face and the giggle that escapes me before I can stop it. "Ah-ha! I got you to smile! See, I can't be all that bad can I?" he questions with a smile in his voice. With a final glance at the way I had come, I shrug of my pack and slide into the passenger seat of his car with it in my lap. I grab the seat belt and buckle myself in before I pull of my hood and turn to face my savior. My breath catches as I come face to face with a god. His sunshine blonde hair is tucked messily into a black beanie. His ocean blue eyes shine brightly as he watches me, sun-kissed skin very visible in his orange tank top. It's very clear that he works out. What stood out most about him though is the whisker like scars on his cheeks and the swirl pendant on the chain around his neck. It makes me think of the one I used to have…

"I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki. Nice to meet you miss," he introduces himself with a bright smile as he pulls back onto the road. "What's your name, if you don't mind me asking?"

I blush and dip my head hoping my bangs could cover my embarrassment. Naruto is really handsome and sweet, but can I trust him? I can't tell him my real name because everyone knows who my family is. When my face is plastered all over the news he's probably turn me in. my father would think that he kidnapped me for money and-

"Look, I can see how uncomfortable you are right now because I asked you your name," he spoke into the silence breaking through my inner ramblings. "You don't have to tell me your real name, but I'd like to know what I can call you and if there's anything I can do to help. I'm not from around here, but I don't really know if that makes it easier or harder for you to trust me, but I'd like to do what I can." I can hear the pain in his voice from me hesitating to tell him my name. He's facing the road driving steadily, but from his profile I could see the sadness in his eyes, they're not as bright as they were before.

"Kitsune," I relent with a sigh and adjust my pack on my lap. It's not my real name, but at least he has a name to call me by. Here's to hoping I can remember it and respond to it, I think to myself as I start to play with the zippers on my pack out of nerves.

"Wow," he says softly. "That's a beautiful name. Kitsune, I like it cause it's almost as beautiful as you." My cheeks flare with embarrassment. I peek at Naruto from the corner of my eye and see that he too has a small blush on his whiskered cheeks. I smile gently and look out the window on my side of the car.

"Thank you, Naruto. I think you're very handsome as well," my voice is barely above a whisper, but somehow I know he heard because of the smile that nearly splits his face in half. I giggle, 'he looks like a little kid.' I turn my head to stare out the window and start to count the stars in the sky. It's a good distraction from the blonde sitting next to me humming a song.

"…like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away…" Naruto mumbles under his breath and taps a beat on the steering wheel. I smile and sing the next verse.

"…when things are too beautiful I smash them to pieces…"

"…the more that you love me insecurity releases…" we sing together and he turns to look at me with wide eyes. "You know that song?"

"Of course I do, I haven't been living under a rock," I reply as he slips a CD into the radio. I watch as he turns the dials and knobs till he finds what he's looking for, smiling when the opening riff belts from the speakers. "Oh my god, you actually have this CD? Where did you get it? I have been looking everywhere for it!" I mouth the words and play air guitar in my seat.

"Well actually I didn't buy it. It was a gift from Karin," he says matter of factly and sings the next verse and drums the beat on the steering wheel again. He doesn't notice how I kind of drift farther away from him, all my childish fantasies that had been forming crushed with a single word. Karin. I didn't know he had a girlfriend and I can't explain why I'm sad about that. I mean how can a guy like him not have a girlfriend? I mean he's totally…

"Gorgeous…" I sigh softly as he turns down the stereo and looks over at me.

"What was that Kitsune?"

"Oh, um, nothing, I was just thinking out loud again," I blush as I explain hoping that he didn't hear exactly what I said. "You didn't hear anything though did you?" I say a silent prayer that he hadn't and finally release the breath that had caught in my throat when he shakes his head no. I live to embarrass myself another day. Joy. "So where are you from?" I try to make conversation and take the focus off myself before I start to stutter.

"Eh, that doesn't really matter does it?"

"I guess not, but still I'd like to know."

"Let me put it this way Kitsune, where I'm from doesn't mean that's where I'm gonna be," he answers back with a smirk.

"Okay," I decide to play along. "Where are you gonna be then?"

"Depends," comes his quick response.

"On what?"

"Where do you wanna go?" he looks at me out of the corner of his eye, emotions flash through so quickly I can't manage to pin down just one…

"Far away from here," I whisper. I'm starting to get nervous as he stares at me, hungry.

"As you wish."
