Pairings: SaiXSakura, SakuraXSasuke
The darkness seemed to have devoured Sakura as she stood, frozen in the corner of a small musty room. The floor was wet with blood and there was a smell of death. Sakura cornered herself against the wall, her startling emerald eyes searching for a source of light or movement. Her pink locks were tangled and drenched with blood and water and her fringe, matted against her forehead. Her breathing was heavy and slow, providing the only sound in the room. Sakura shifted her position slightly and groaned painfully but softly. Her left wrist was fractured and a deep gash on her waist with blood still slowly flowing drenched her black shirt. Sakura continued standing, unable to move. She was either too scared or too hurt to move. Sakura tried moving again and this time she managed to move to another corner of the room but the gash on her waist caused her to stop constantly.
I have to continue moving.. I have to get out of this place and save everyone.. I have to...
Moving again, she accidentally kicked something. Something soft but solid, a leg of somebody. Immediately, she froze in place, afraid that the body would suddenly move and grab her. Even though, knowing that everyone in the room was probably dead, she was still afraid. Too long has she been stuck in this dark room with corpses. Before she could continue moving, she heard footsteps, heavy and loud, approaching the room. Sakura collapsed into onto the bloody and slippery floor into a sitting position. The footsteps ceased and Jade saw a flash of bright blue light, resembling Chaktra.
Could it be? Could that be..
Bright light hit Sakura as a hole appeared on the other side of the room where the heavy metal steel door was. Now, the door lay on the floor, blasted from the hinges. A figure stood at the doorway but Sakura couldn't see. The light blinded her because she was stuck in darkness for too long. Her hand shielded her eyes from the light as she felt the person approaching her. Jade started to panic as she sensed the high quality and amount of Chaktra approaching her.
"Ugly, is that you?" A familiar voice broke the silence.
Sakura removed her hands from her eyes and strained to face the figure. There stood in all his grandeur, Sai. His purple hair was messy and his forehead protector missing. He wasn't injured and seemed fit as a horse. Although, his katana and sketchbook was not seen with him. Sai's piercing bloody red eyes bore into Sakura, they weren't of concern but more of surprise and arrogance.
"Sai?" Sakura managed to stutter.
