What will happen when she finds herself trapped in Victorian London where finding her way home is the least of her worries? And how will she react to meeting a certain butler that wants more than just her soul?
Author's Note: I had this idea for a crossover after seeing a SasuSaku pic. I know you'll be wondering why I had an idea for a crossover Black Butler/Naruto fic from a SasuSaku fanart? Well, its easy…Sasuke in the picture kinda looked like Sebastian. So I decided, "Hey why not write a SebasSaku fic." And so here we are. I hope you enjoy this fic. This is only just a prologue though. I'll post the official first chapter as soon as possible.
With my job, its kinda hard to find time to write. Please review anyways. The title of the story comes from the song, Beyond the Hourglass by I am Ghost. The prologue title comes from a SasuSaku anthology of the same title made by fans, I believe. I don't know much more about it since I've only heard about it online.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Black Butler. They belong to Masashi Kishimoto and Yana Toboso, respectively. So don't sue me because I don't own a thing. The story, however, is my idea.
Onwards with the story!
Prologue: A Fractured Fairy Tale
Rain pelted down on the cold, desolate streets of Konoha. The moon was hardly visible beyond the darkened clouds that covered the skies. It was nightfall and hardly anyone, shinobi or civilian alike, wandered the streets especially in the considering the current weather conditions.
But there was one lonely figure standing in the middle of a cobblestone street not far away from the Leaf Ninja Academy. A woman with long pink tresses stands there quietly and unmoving. Her face was tilted upwards towards the sky with closed eyes. Rivulets of raindrops fell on her face mixing with her tearstained eyes.
It felt as if the heavens above were crying along with her. Her heart was broken, in pieces, and she felt as if nothing in the world would ever mend it. She cried silently, wishing for something that would never be.
She cried for him. The man she loved but who would never reciprocate her feelings. Sasuke Uchiha. The man that she had given her heart to only to have it ripped apart and trampled on when he had announced his engagement to her best friend, Ino Yamanaka that very afternoon at Ichiraku's during one of the Konoha 13's get-togethers.
She knew she should be happy for her friend and teammate. And with a smile on her face, she had congratulated the happy couple but inside, she felt numb. She felt asphyxiated and had excused herself as soon as she could claim to be tired after a long day working at the hospital. Of course, they, her friends had asked her to stay a while longer but she'd declined and left. When she was far enough from there she had run, ignoring the looks she was drawing from the villagers. She didn't care what they thought. She was heartbroken.
It had already begun to rain by the time she had reached the Academy grounds. She had made her way there, unconsciously, without realizing where she was going. Her legs had just taken a mind of their own.
Opening her eyes, Sakura took a fleeting glance at her surroundings with a blank look. Her jade green eyes were slightly red from crying so much.
"Why can't I stop crying? Why does my heart hurt so much?" She whispered as the rain continued to fall. Her clothes were soaking wet and she was shivering from the cold but she didn't really care about that. "Why can't I stop loving Sasuke! After he's done nothing but hurt me again and again. I wish…I wish I could just disappear. I wish I could go away. Somewhere very far away. Somewhere where he can't hurt me anymore."
Falling down to her knees, Sakura clutches her arms as heartwrenching sobs tear through her. she didn't know how much more she could take before she was driven to insanity. One thing she did know was that she did not want to be around when the day came when Sasuke and Ino married. It would be too much.
She decided then. She had to leave. She would go see Lady Tsunade and ask her for an extended mission. At least until she was able to put together the pieces of her heart. Until she was able to rip the love she felt for Sasuke out of her soul. Not until that happened, she couldn't stay.
A/N: Well, hope you liked this. It made me cry writing it. Review and let me know what you think. Also, I'd like to make it clear that I am a SasuSaku shipper but this story is for fun.
