A Twist of Fate
Chapter 1: His Death and Her Life
The cruel icy wind blew across the misty battlefield. Withered leaves danced and twirled with the wind. In the mist, there were two shadowy figures. One laid still on the ground and the other, taller one towered above him. That was the wistful scene that the seventeen year old, medic nin, Sakura Haruno discovered as she rushed towards the sound of a painful scream.
That voice was familiar to her.
Sasuke-kun…No, it can't be him…It just can't be!
As much as the green-eyed chuunin denied it, there was a great possibility that the scream that she had just heard came from her beloved Sasuke-kun. It had been five long years since that sullen day he left Konoha…
The young medic ran across the mist, her heart pounding through her ears as she reached closer and closer to the two figures. She advanced quickly, striving to keep her presence conceived. There was a light rustle as a strong wind brushed past her. The figure standing turned his head. Out of instinct, the medic nin concealed herself, but kept her eager emerald eyes on the two. As if forced, the dense mist subsided and there, Sakura witnessed the scene in her nightmares. On the ground, Sasuke lay motionlessly, and beside him, in his red and black cape stood the man who eliminated the Uchiha clan. The man who was once Sasuke's dearly respected brother, Itachi.
The young medic nin's heart seized, her legs gave away, and with a dull "thud," she fell to her knees.
No! It can't be! Sasuke-kun's not dead! NOOOOO!
The heartbroken nin did not care about anything anymore as she exposed herself to her enemy. The only thing in her mind was Sasuke. Her sad eyes watered, drowning in misery. Sakura looked into her precious Sasuke-kun's lifeless eyes and felt hatred ignite within her. Then, she met the icy-cold glare of the killer's. She watched as his dark eyes changed into red, and slowly became hypnotized by its dancing black wheel. It was the Mangekyou Sharingan…
"Sasuke-kun!"
Her voice was clear through Sasuke's ears. He wanted to call her name and reach for her, but his body did not respond. Bit by bit, his surroundings whirled and blackened. All he could see was the sadness on Sakura's face, and all he could hear was her call.
"Sa-Sakura…" a hiss escaped out of his lips as his mind was engulfed by darkness. The young Uchiha reached towards the image of Sakura in his mind, but their distance only seemed to increase. She faded away slowly and painfully. The only thing left was the unsteady beating of his heart. Sasuke was a lone, broken soul and he knew that all was lost. The determined avenger's mission to revive his clan had failed. He had failed. A million different feelings escaped from his heart, and at his last moment, he finally admitted to himself that he truly did love her…
