Prologue
*beep…Beep…*
Silence filled the white room with only the beeping of a machine that indicates life. The wind blows from the open window, white curtains flow with the wind, with pink petals that blown in the room. The petals float and swirl in the air landing gracefully in the bed occupied by a lone figure. The pink petals stick to the long pink hair of the figure.
Footsteps and voices pass by the room but still, the figure lay undisturbed. Just like a sweet little angel taking a nap, with face full of peacefulness, no one would ever thought how much time she spent staying in the World of dreams, or did she?
No, no one know what she's thinking for she is sleeping and seems like she did not plan on waking. All of her love ones give up one by one, but only one remains on her side with hopes high as the sky.
The door open and shut close with a soft thud. A woman with blonde hair and hard blue eyes walk silently to the lying figure, like she's afraid to wake her up. She stand beside the bed, with eyes softening at the sight, she caress the face of the girl.
"Good morning, Sweetheart. Do you know what day is today?"
"…"
"Today is your 18th birthday. I-it's been three years since you went to sleep…"
She pauses to take a deep breath, trying her best to stop herself for crying. She needs to be strong for the girl lying in that hospital bed now.
"You're mother decides to… to let you go but… I can't just do that! I-i still holds onto your promise. I now you will wake up. I know you will wake up when you are ready. Right, cherry blossom?"
*tip…tip…*
Tears pour down the blonde haired woman. She hastily wipes away the tears and stood up to leave.
"Well, I guess, visiting hours is over now. Sweet dreams, Sakura."
She whisper then kiss the figure's forehead before turning to leave when something unexpected happen. The woman look wide eyed to the hands grasping her white coat. Her head snap to the owner of the hands. One hand flew to her mouth and gasp in surprise and disbelief. Tears brimming in her eyes.
"T-tsunade s-sishou."
Emerald green eyes stare back at her blue ones. The sweet velvety voice snaps her out of her shock and run to the small button on the table.
"Doctors! Patient in room 114 is awake! Hurry up!"
"S-sishou."
She runs to the girl's side.
"S-sakura! Don't talk! The doctors are coming!"
A faint ghostly smile stretch in the girl's lips and with the faintest, softest voice she can mutter, she speaks.
"A-arigatou…."
Her body convulses making the woman panic.
"SAKURA!"
