    Threadmarks: Chapter 1 — The Loud Stranger

    The road to Konoha was quieter than Kamui had imagined. He had spent years seeing the village through a screen, where something always seemed to be happening. Shinobi leaped across rooftops on their way to missions, merchants argued with customers, children raced through the streets, and...

    "My stomach hurts," I told the guy across from me. I didn't get so much as a shred of sympathy. "You piece of trash… How dare you…" He never got to finish. It's hard to hurl abuse at someone when you've got a knife sticking out of your throat. Not a combat knife, either, just a perfectly...

    The sound was like a gunshot. Taylor startled into a painful jerk that was half reflexive fright jump, half aborted dodge roll out of her bed. She looked left and right around the messy, pastel colored room, certain that there was a sharply dressed woman just around the corner holding a gun...
