Hey everyone! I'm FreeFalling2098 or you can just call me Free for short.
Anyway…this is my first fanfic called From Dark To Light. Hope you like it!
*DISCLAIMER* I do NOT own any part of Naruto!
Sakura's POV:
"Mommy! It hurts so much…..where are you? Where are you?! I can't see you Mommy! I can't see anything!"
"Sa-Sa-ku-ra-a, I love you."
"Mommy!"
I bolted up right in bed and took a few shaky breathes. It was just a dream. It was a dream of a memory from long ago. I looked around my room but I only saw the same thing I did everyday, darkness.
I stretched my arm toward my night stand that held my alarm clock. I felt around for the button that was right on top of the small digital clock. "6:45 am" The robotic sounding woman said. "Crap! I need to get in the shower now or else I'm gonna be late.
My hand fumbled around the second shelf of the night stand as I tried to find my black glasses that kept all light away from my eyes. Once I found them and had them on my face, I stood up from my bed and grabbed the red and white cane that was between my bed and the wall.
It was 13 years ago that I lost my sight. I was 4 at the time of the accident, so I was old enough to know what a lot of things looked like. I remember what objects and colors look like, I just can't see them anymore. When I lost my sight, I also lost my mother. She was all I had left. I jumped around from foster family to foster family afterwards, until I was given permission to live on my "own". I was technically in the care of an old friend of mine, Sota Takahashi.
"Light!" I yelled out and snapped my fingers, "Come here boy!" I heard my energetic German Sheppard run to my room and I reached down to pet him as he pawed at my feet. "Good boy, good boy!" I told him. I walked out of my room and into the bathroom while holding on to the harness that was on Light. I got in the shower as quickly as possible, using Light, the walls, and the sounds around me as my guides. After my shower, I walked into my room wearing only my underclothes and a towel. I waited. I pressed the button on my clock again. "7:23am" the voice said.
Where was he!? I'm gonna be late for my first day at Hidden Leaf High or HLH for short.
Suddenly, I heard the jingling of keys outside the front door. "Hey Sakura! Sorry I'm late" came a deep voice from the kitchen. "Sota!" I whined, " I'm gonna be late because of you!" I heard him pop some bread into the toaster before coming to my room. "Sorry Baby Sis." he said before going to my closet. "What do you want to wear today? Although, I must say the towel look really works for you." I turned to face the direction his voice came from. "I thought you said I was your baby sis?" I said with a smirk on my face. I heard him rummaging through my closet as he said, " Well, I'm technically just your best friend and your legal guardian, but I am a man before anything else! Just kidding, I'm gay, I'm not into you like that. " I chuckled softly before telling him what I wanted to wear.
"Black skinny jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and my black combat boots." He brought me my clothes and left to bring up the toast that was most likely cold by now. "Sakura, I love and all, but you need to stop with all the black and add some color into your daily life!" Sota shouted. "Take it from me, the fashionable one in the room." I just shook my head "Sota, I need a hair tie!" I demanded as I put my hand out. I felt the soft, stretchy hair tie placed in my hand and I quickly put my long, pink hair into a sloppy bun. "Do I look good?" I asked into the room. I heard a soft "Mhm" before I was pulled out of the room.
Before I left the house, I called out to Light. "Light! I'm going to school. Man the house while I'm gone!" I heard a loud bark before leaving the house. " I see you guys are getting along just fine." said a relieved Sota. "Yeah" I replied with a questioning tone in my voice. " Don't worry about it, it's just I was worried he wouldn't get along with you because he wasn't nice to me when I first met him." Sota explained. I nodded in understanding. The first few weeks with Light were difficult because he was in a new environment and he was still a puppy.
Once I got into Sota's car, I realized something smelt different. "New car?" I asked him. He looked at me, but was not surprised because of my keen sense of smell. "Yeah" he replied, "It's a red Nissan Altima Coupe."
"Now, are you ready for you first day of Senior year?" I stayed silent for a moment, running my fingers over the bumps on my student ID, and reading the dots.
Name: Sakura Haruno
Age: 17
DOB: March 18, 1996
Home Room: 4-A
I knew that the words were typed out above the dots, and a picture of me was on the corner. A picture of me without my glasses. I smiled at the picture I couldn't see.
Finally, I answered him, "Honestly Sota, going to another new school, trying to find my way around, and trying to not attract a lot of attention….." I trailed off.
I could feel his eyes staring at me as we approached a red light. "No, Not at all."
