Unexpected Second Chance
Chapter 1
Enjoy!
"Ameterasu!"
"Sakura, no!" Naruto shouted as he saw Sakura's body in front of his, which was in front of Kakashi. He saw Sasuke widened his eyes and tried to stop the flames. They can just stare in horror as the burning body of Sakura fell with a, strangely echoing, thud. Sasuke was too shock to even think about taking out the flames.
"Sa…" Naruto muttered, falling to his knees beside Sakura. Kakashi closed his eyes, Rin flashing through his head.
"Ugly…" Sai muttered, eyes widening. Sasuke took a step back, guilt, shame and hate quickly filling him.
"SAKURA!"
And it was Sai and Sasuke who screamed it.
"Argh..." Sakura grunted as her eyes fluttered open to reveal tired emerald orbs and blankly stared at the pink ceiling for a bit and closed her eyes again.
Wait…
Wait.
WAIT!
PINK ceiling!?
Sakura's eyes snapped open as she sat up from her bed quickly; a wave of dizziness coming over her but was easily ignored. She looked around frankly, desperately trying to look for something or someone why the hell she was in her old room. Sakura got her request, but not in the way she suspected.
"AHHHH!"
-Earlier in the Hokage's office-
"And the second reason why I called you all today is about your teams that you will be handling today. You will know them after they are informed of their teams, so I expect everyone to cooperate, especially you Kaka-"
"AHHHH!"
Everyone in the room either jumped or jerked at the, no doubt, girl scream. Though, Kakashi mentally thanked the girl for saving him from a lecture.
"What a youthful girl! May the power of youth be always burning within you!" Gai screamed out the window.
*coughcough*
"Anyway, like I was saying, Kakashi I expect you to-" Kakashi groaned.
-Back with Sakura-
Sakura stared in horror at the mirror, a twelve year-old girl staring in horror back at her. If it weren't for the fact that the girl in the mirror had pink hair, Sakura would've thought that wasn't her.
"What…is happening!? Why the hell am I staring at a twelve-year old girl with pink hair and not a nineteen-year old?! Is it genjutsu? Wait, no, better question. Why am I not DEAD!?" Sakura thought, questions filling her mind. "And did I just hear Gai-sensei scream something?"
"Will it kill you to be quiet!? It's too early!" Sakura froze.
"Holy- what was that squeaky annoying voice just now?"
"Squeaky? Maybe. But annoying?! Hell to the NO!"
"Inner? Is that you?"
"No, it's God. Of course it's me! Wait a minute. You don't sound like me. And what are these memories in front of me? And why the hell do I look older!? Actually, everyone looks older! And…who the hell are YOU!?"
"That's definitely you."
"Well? I'm waiting."
"I'm from the future." And like always, straight to the point.
"…Excuse me for just one second." Sakura raised an eyebrow at the little thud sound she heard.
"Did she just faint? You could actually do that in a mind?" Sakura thought, knowing she wouldn't get a reply. She once again looked around. She still thinks that this is genjutsu.
"Kai."
Sakura cracked one eye open and was disappointed to see nothing change. She's not bragging or anything but she was the best at canceling illusions –thank you chakra control- so, this was definitely not genjutsu.
"So, there's only one explanation. Time Travel. But, is that even possible? If so, then how did it happen?" Sakura rubbed her temples, glancing outside her window. It was still quite early, around 6 o' clock. 6:30 A.M. to be exact. Flipping through her calendar, her eyes stopped at the date that was circled. Graduation Day. Though still freaked out and cautious, Sakura made her way to the bathroom, noting dully that everything around her seems to be pink.
"That was the best bath I ever had in ages." Sakura thought, stepping out from the bathroom and using a towel to dry her hair. She tied her hair up using a butterfly clip while her eyes scanned for clothes that WASN'T pink. Sakura groaned when the only clothing that wasn't pink was a single tan short and no way was she using that. Sakura finally found something bearable to wear and she even found ninja shoes to match. Sakura looked at herself in the mirror.
"This will do. Though, it's still pink. But, I can leave with it. Why was this stuff all the way in the back?"
A red jumper with a dragon design covered her body with black and red boots with a single dragon design on each covered her feet. Light pink socks with the Haruno circle on it stopped just below her knees. She finished the outfit by wrapping a huge red scarf around her neck.
"I'm missing something. Oh, right, my headband."Sakura quickly pulled out the clip in her hair and tied the headband on her head. She scanned herself once more in the mirror.
"Hey! Since when did our hair reach the floor?"
"Good to hear you again Inner and it only reaches my knees." But Sakura would be lying if she said that she noticed it before Inner.
"Odd...I wonder what else I still have intact," Sakura thought, running her fingers through her hair. Sakura jerked when she heard her supposedly dead mother's yelling at her. Sakura being…well Sakura quickly blinked the tears away. It would be kind of awkward if she came down with puffy eyes, now would it?
"Ehh? But isn't it only…7:35!? Did I really spend all that time looking at myself in the mirror?" Sakura walked quickly –she's too cool to run- downstairs and gave a quick kiss to her mom's cheek and was about to leave when her mom told her she had a little scratch at her left cheek.
"Huh? I do? Must have gotten it when I slipped. Stupid pink soap. You got what you deserve." Sakura thought, a smug look on her eyes when she remembered throwing the soap outside the window. Grabbing a bandage, Sakura quickly put it on and said bye to her mother.
"I wonder what life will bring now. Wait a minute…I forgot to eat breakfast. Dang it." Sakura sighed, look up at the sky.
"I need dango."
Hope this one is better than the first! I worked really hard to not change too much! :)
For people who are new, thank you for reading and in this story Sakura is calm and composed in the outside, apathetic you can say sometimes. Not really cold though. Okay, sometimes.
Outfit in muh account and just imagine a huge scarf around her ;)
Review! :D
