Haruno Sakura is a professional assassin and when she goes to her new high school, she meets the man of her dreams. But what if it's too good to be true? Sasusaku Slight Lemon
Too Good to be True
An 8 year old girl with rosette coloured hair sat in an alleyway with her knees pulled up to her chin, crying. The moon shone down on her pink hair covered in blood while her tears, running down her cheeks from her emerald eyes, glittered brightly. She looked down at the 2 dead bodies lying in front of her: one of a young man and one of a naked woman. She rocked back and forth closing her eyes, hoping, wishing, what she saw before her was not real. But even when her eyes are closed, the scene lies before her in her mind.
Flashback:
A little girl was holding her mother's hand jumping gleefully along her mother's side. Her mother looked down at her and a huge smile spread across her beautiful face. Herself and the child were very much alike physically. They both had pink hair and beautiful emerald eyes.
"Mommy, where are we going?" The little girl asked. She hoped they were going to the candy shop because she loved sweets.
"You'll see, sweetie!" She guided her daughter to a candy shop just as expected and the little girl jumped for joy.
"I LOVE YOU!" She hugged her mother although she only came up to above her knees.
After she bought candy, her mother brought her to the park to get rid of her new-found energy. As soon as the sun started to set, her mother called out to her.
"Sakura! Sakura! Time to go!" Sakura, being the obedient little girl she was, headed over to where her mother was waving to her after giving a quick good bye to her friends. She still had a lot of energy and it seemed like it never disappeared. The sun was starting to set as they walked through the city towards their apartment. They walked pass dark alleyways and Sakura girl inched closer to her mother for safety. Suddenly, a hand shot out of the darkness and grabbed the elder pink-head. Before she could scream for help a large hand covered her mouth.
"Mommy!"
"Shut your mouth or I'll kill your mom" a gruff voice said from behind her mother "Stay there and don't go away! Or your mom gets it!" He pushed a knife against her throat.
"You can have me but leave my daughter alone you bastard!" Sakura's mom protected her. Sakura's emerald eyes met dark brown evil eyes. She hated those eyes. Those eyes…they paralyzed her.
The man flipped her around and pushed her against the wall holding both of her small hands above her head with one hand only and ripped her shirt and skirt off. He then proceeded to rip off her bra and panties.
"Sakura look away!" But Sakura could just stand there looking at what this man was doing to her mother, tears streaming down her face. The man had his pants off and was thrusting hard and deep into her mother groaning. Sakura had never seen anything like this before but she knew it was not right.
"SAKURA, I SAID LOOK AWAY!"
"MOMMY!!!" The 8 year old screamed closing her eyes. A strong force erupted from the girl and the man looked around in shock. "STAY. AWAY. FROM. MY. MOTHER!!!" An even stronger force came and smacked them both like an invisible bulldozer. Before she knew it, their heads exploded and blood was scattered everywhere.
End of Flashback
So there she was, soaking in blood. Sakura didn't know where the power came from. She never intended this to happen. She could not control the power longing to be released inside of her. 2 headless bodies lied on the ground, one of her mother. Her mom was dead…because of her, but she refused to believe it.
Sakura chanted her mom's name over and over again thinking that she would tap her on the shoulder and smile down on her, but that never happened.
In the entrance of the alleyway, a man stood watching the little girl stare at the blank open space, rocking back and forth repeating a person's name over and over and over again. He walked slowly and keeled down in front of her. She stopped rocking and looked up into his eyes so narrow.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Orochimaru"
"Orochimaru, will you take my life. Please. I could not protect her, I could not help her, I killed her. I deserve to die!" Sakura continued rocking back and forth.
"I can help you gain power my dear" Orochimaru looked down into her emerald eyes glittering with salty tears.
"I don't want power. I want to die. I could not protect, those I love" Sakura looked into his eyes with slits like a cat in them "Please…kill me"
"I can help you gain power so you can protect those you love. So you can control your extraordinary power. A lot of power and it will be all yours. You have nothing to lose. You just lost your mother…I will be as caring as your mother and give you more than she could. Wasting your life would be a tragedy. Please come with me and never worry about your loved ones again!" Orochimaru tongue flicked out and licked her cheek. She giggled momentarily forgetting about her desire to die. She looked over at her mother's limp body asking for guidance.
"I will become strong…for mother!" She stood up and wiped her tears away with blood covered hands which only made it worse but she didn't seem to notice. "Thank you Orochimaru-sama!"
The next morning, a passer-by screamed when she saw the headless bodies and called the police. The police could not identify who they were but they had never seen anybody blow the heads off their victims before. From then on, there was a new criminal on the loose in Konoha and everybody knew it.
