It's the dead of the night, in the village hidden in leaf Konohagakure. It's citizens are blissfully asleep.
Only the shinobi going and coming from various missions and places, those performing tasks and keeping security detail are out about alert and wake. A drunk or two, here or there on the street after a night of drinks.
In the civilian sector of the village, a small family of three lay only child of the family is smuggled in bed deep sleep. Unaware
Little does anyone know, that fates destined path will alter this night. This very moment has been chosen as the time, in which the future loses its previous tale. Starting from this night forth to be rewritten.
With a start sakura wakes up. Breathing a bit laboured from a dream that's already forgotten. Groaning softly into her pillow, she waits for the room to stop feeling like it's spining in a never ending circle.
After getting her breathing under control, sakura instantly gets the feeling of something not being right. Dread begins to pools in. The bed is not her own. Even her body feels a bit odd.
After subtly checking for a hidden Kunai under the pillow and finding none, sakura decides to see what the hell is going on. Sitting up on the bed she instantly takes in her surrounding wary. This is not her bedroom she knows but there's something utterly familiar about this room. Shock fills her as she recognises this to be her childhood bedroom. How..?
It's stills dark outside from what could be seen from the window, with the moons glow coming inside acting as the only lighting. Even so she can tell the room for what it is. Casting another stunned glance around the room she can feel something negging at her brain. As she frowns while trying to figure out what, it suddenly hits her knocking the air of her body as the previous memories come rushing back making her feel light headed. ..I'm back.. eyes widen in disbelief.
Looking down at herself she can see her body is that of a child now. She's not the age she use to be. So much younger now. A quick glance at calender on the bedside table conformes it. Griping the bed sheet to steady herself, she closes her eyes leaning against the pillows.
Time-travel..
Slowly releasing a steady breath.
I'm in the past..
"..second chance.."
Coming in terms with the fact that she is indeed in the past and the reality of it, the colours of dawn start touching the sky. There's hope, anxiety, longing, joy and many more emotions in her.
Mainly now sakura is looking forward. The chance of traveling through time to live life again is not something everyone is given. Blessed with. She's not going to waste it.
Looking at her 8 year self sakura decides the first changes will have to come from her.
Knowing in the years how she grows up behaving, many changes will have to come, she predicts casting a gaze around the room. Or more accurate it would be to say that, the shollow and ignorent child that had been the sakura of this time will be replaced. And the true person of herself , she becomes in the future will be the personatity staying here from now on.
No one can know or even suspect i am from the future sakura thinks that does'nt mean i can't be my self she decides. Things will be different is added with finatily and fierous determination in her eyes causing her emerald gaze to light.
