Blank Darkness
Summary: I lay on the sand, struggling to get up. I coughed the liquid in my lungs, ink black. Locks of my hair spilled around me, ink black. I looked around me, I only saw...ink black as tar. I stopped my fight...and let the ink comsume me...
Chapter 1
I woke up in my room, it wasn't even dawn, not yet. I could hear the hoot of an owl, the roar of a stream. I fell back into my covers, hoping that god would have mercy on pathatic soul, and GIVE ME SOME GODDAMN SLEEP!
No such luck.
I looked at my clock. It was too early, no body could be awake right now, not even the earliest of the early birds. Not even Kakashi to read his book.
Not even Sasuke to train.
Yet...
...I'm awake.
It's been the same for a year now...
Sleeping for three hours, long enough for me to have the vision...
...then I awaken...
Unable to fall into a rest...
Well, no point just laying here, it's not like I'm going to fall asleep again...
...as much as I wish I would...
I jumped out of bed with the reflexes of a cat, and streched, like a cat.
Wait...
Where the hell did THAT come from?
I stood up.
I walked into the bathroom.
I turned on the shower.
I climbed in.
I ignored the liquid ice pouring onto my pale, sensitive skin.
I got out.
I dragged a brush through my wet, pink hair.
Yes...
My hair is natrually pink.
I slipped into my red dress and shorts.
I'm in need of a new wardrobe.
I got my weapon pouch and my sandals.
Then I walked outside.
I just walked, hoping that my feet would take me somewhere.
My feet stopped moving...
...I must be there...
So I looked up to see where I was...
The bridge...
...my team's meeting place...
I sat down...
...and thus began a long wait for Kakashi...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I just sat there.
Not doing anything but watching.
A few critters joined me.
A squirrel, a gopher, the usual.
I sighed.
It's a new day, yet it all feels old.
It's a good life, that's what I'm told.
But everything, it all just feels the same.
Those are the word that I live by.
They're also the lyrics in a G.C. song.
But I live by them.
So screw you conformists...

I heard a branch snap,
Sasuke.
He walked into the clearing, the animals fled from his darkness.
He looked at me with surprise,
"Sakura?"
I shrugged.
"How early long were you here?"
I shrugged,
"Lost count at 4 hours."
Silence...
"Ummmm...okay?"
I shrugged,
"I wake up pretty early"
"I can tell."
He sat down next to me.
And waited for the hell named Naruto and the hentai named Kakashi.

1 HOUR LATER
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Your late!"
"I know, I was at Tsunade's office, she has a new mission for us."
I blinked, "Omigosh Kakashi gave us a belivable excuse!"
Naruto fainted, Sasuke coughed.
"She needs to see us at her office."
I stood up, "Let's go!"
I gave Naruto a good kick, "WAKE UP YOU STUPID BAKA!"
I walked to her office, not caring if they followed or not.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"What's the mission baa-chan?"
Tsunade punched Naruto into the wall.
I moved around his limp form, "Tsunade-sama? What's this mission?"
She shook her head, "Not until the others get here!"
I nodded and took a seat. Sasuke did the same. Naruto woke up. Kakashi took out his book.
About ten minutes later...
"SAKURA-CHAN!"
"Oh god it's Lee." I mumbled, Sasuke smirked.
"Lee, leave poor Sakura-chan alone!" Scolded Tenten
"You're lucky she hasn't filed a restraining order." mumbled Neji
I smiled, at least SOMEONE cares.
"MY RIVAL!"
I leaned over, "Oh god it's 'Super Spandex'." I whispered into Sasuke's ear.
He snickered.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The others arrived, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Hinata, Shino, Akamaru and Kiba
"This is an A ranked mission, it's dangerous because we have no idea what's going on."
I looked around, everyone had confused looks.
"You need to examine rift activity."
"That's it?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes at Ino's comment.
Shikamaru yawned, "I think this 'rift' is a codename for a portal into a different demension. It's extremely dangerous because it's so mysterious. It's actually able to change the person who goes through in many ways, both physically and mentally."
Ino laughed, "Maybe we should shove forehead in one, it might make her more her a little more useful!"
We glared at her. "It's a 9 out of 10 chance that if you shove someone in a rift, they die."
"Oh."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We got to the area.
Our mission:
-make sure to evacuate and warn everyone nearby
-moniter the rift until it's safe to return
-KEEP AWAY FROM THE RIFT
Everything soo easy, huh?
Everything went wrong...
