Okay, to anyone who reads my other stories: I know I should be updating them, but I have caught the infamous writers block disease. I'm having trouble continuing those stories, so I decided to get started on a new one. Yeah, probably not the best idea, but I might get some ideas for my other stories.
I DON'T OWN NARUTO! Get it? Got it? No? TOO BAD! :-D
Prologue
Karin sat up in her bed with a small yawn. She was still tired, but she knew she still had a job to do – escaping from Konoha's prison. With the war that was raging on she doubted anyone would even notice her absence, much less care about it. She took a deep breath to properly wake herself up before standing up and stretching her muscles. For the first time that morning she opened her eyes to look at her surroundings. No prison cell. No guards.
Where was she? Karin slowly looked around in the pink room. Her eyes fell on a small female figure. She vaguely remembered her from somewhere…..
The memory hit her like a ton of bricks. How could she forget the girl that saved her life when Sasuke tried to kill her? The girl who, in spite of loving Sasuke with all her heart, had refused to follow his order to kill Karin. What was her name again? Saki? Saku…Sak…Sakura! That was it! Sakura looked extremely different. She looked a lot younger, a mere child with round cheeks and big eyes.
Karin raised her hand to wave at the girl, but the girl mirrored her actions. Karin let her hand fall back down and hang limply by her side, watching as the girl once again copied her movement with exact timing. Was she in some kind of genjutsu? Was this just a trick? Karin raised her hands into the tiger seal before moving into the ram seal. "Release!" she whispered quietly as she tried to focus on finding any intruding chakra in her system that might be causing the genjutsu.
Nothing! No foreign cakra. So, this wasn't an illusion, but what was it? She walked closer to the girl, noticing she was walking closer as well. Karin stopped dead in her tracks. Why was she so stupid that she hadn't noticed before?! She had been looking in a mirror the whole time! Karin couldn't help it, she facepalmed. 'Beaten by a mirror.' she thought sourly. Then something finally clicked.
It was a mirror!
"Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!"
