AC: No, I do not own anyone or anything on Naruto… I don't own the show either. (sigh) I wish I did though… Who knows what I would do with them. (evil laugh)
Sakura's POV
'Nothing could have changes the events that happened that afternoon.' Sakura thought as she waited in her cell. A silent tear slid down her cheek as the new dawn light came through the bars and hit her face, making the drop of liquid sparkle. The wooden door, which she could have easily broken down, stood still and silent. As did the anbu on guard. The anbu… her most closest friends. Ino… Naruto… Kakashi… and a few she didn't entirely know too well but were still very trustworthy. Shikamaru… Lee… and Neji. All of them outside of her cell, all of them keeping her in until she had to face her death.
Sakura could not weep. She could not cry, not even one peep to show sadness. Not with them there, staying so silent that she could here the keys unlock the door outside her own. She couldn't see her friends. She couldn't see her family. This was going to be the last morning for her to see the raise of the sun. The only time, the last. Sakura turned her eyes to the cell window, blocked by the cold steel bars to keep her from escaping. The sunrise was tinted with both red and gold. The clouds moved the colors in mysterious ways to enhance its beauty.
Sakura heard the footsteps coming closer to her wooden cell door. She heard the shuffling of her friends' feet as they moved to let the person by. The key went into the lock and let out a shrill noise as it turned to open the wooden cell door. A person, masked and dark, put shackles on her wrists and took her out of the cell. She passed her friends and let a few tears fall. Because of the silence her friends had created, a few 'pilts' reached their ears, as well as four quiet, simple, words, and then she left thinking she was going to die alone.
Naruto's POV
He waited in silence for dawn to come as he waited by the cell that Sakura was being held in. An aching pain stayed in his chest as he couldn't think of how any more but why. 'Sakura, why? Of all the things you could've done, why? You're stuck behind this fucking door. I can't help you now. I'm sorry, Sakura.' He thought. He shared a knowing glance with his friends. Her friends. 'Our friends' he thought. 'Of all the people you could have chose, why did you choose him? Why did you help him? It's against the law and is strictly death in this village to help a class A rogue ninja. Why did you help him? The Hokage, why did you kill her? Why?' he thought as he closed his eyes. He couldn't look at anyone anymore.
Only minutes passed when he heard the sound of the first door opening, along with the sound of footsteps. 'I never thought it would end this way, Sakura. There's nothing I can do. I'm sorry.' He thought as he opened his eyes. The man in the mask all dressed in dark turned the key in the cell door.. He went in and two came out, one the dark and one the light. His eyes fallowed the pink haired kunoichi, he saw the tears fall from her eyes. The ache in his chest intensified as she walked by. His heart began to pound in his ears but that didn't stop him from hearing what Sakura said. 'I'm sorry, Naruto…' It repeated in his head as he watched her leave the first door and the rest of the anbu fallowed her. 'Sakura? Sorry?' His eyes widened just the slightest bit as a thought came to mind. 'She.. She's innocent!' He looked up at her back with determination shining brightly in his eyes. 'There is something I can do. Don't worry, Sakura. I'll save you.' He thought as he walked out of the prison and into the blinding light outside.
AC: Sorry it was short everyone! But hey, I wanted to leave you at a small cliffy. (smile) See you in the next chapter! Oh.. If anyone knows what the main symbol of the story is then I'll give them a cookie. And if they figure out what it means then I'll insert a character if they want into the story at some time! (smile) Good luck!
