~ Sakura's POV ~
Prologue
It was dark. Too dark.. as if all of the light in the entire world had vanished into thin air. Even when I managed to open up my eyes, I was greeted with a black void. I couldn't see any of my surroundings, like someone had placed a blindfold over my eyes.
Fear slowly crept its way into my veins, and adrenaline started to overcome my body. What if something happened to me? What if I had been held captive and all hope for my life was thrown out the window?
I tried to think of what I last did, or any past situations but my mind drew up a blank. To try and calm myself down, I attempted to move my arms and to my surprise I was able to move them freely. Slowly, I began to move all of my limbs all the way down to my toes.
I sat there for a few moments just listening to my own rapid breathing before attempting to get up to my feet, nearly falling over in the process.
My legs were like jelly and I had a headache the size of a rock periodically hurting in my forehead and in the back of my skull. I felt like someone had beat me senseless with a bag of bricks.
I moved around senselessly, nothing stopping me in my way and I started to wonder if I really was in a black void. It was just then that I began to noticed a strange smell.
How long has this smell been here? It smelled sweet.. yet oddly familiar. Nothing came to mind when I tried to think of what exactly the smell was.
Just then, a light dancing around in the shadows slowly made it's way towards me. It was small, the size of a pearl but as it approached closer the bigger it became. I watched in curiosity until the light stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to reach out and grasp it into the depths of my palms.
My attention was snatched elsewhere when I started to pick up a small sound. It sounded like someone was speaking, muffled as if they were trying to talk through a pile of clothes. Suddenly, the light in front of me without a warning opened up like a new flower in bloom and began to engulf me in it's blinding light.
The light was so bright that I had to hide my face behind my arms to escape the incredible burst of sun and the muffled talking became louder with each passing second.
I started to feel the sensation of being carried, and then I was suddenly dropped down so lightly that I almost couldn't tell I was being put down.
I opened my eyes slowly because the blinding light was still there, but I eventually worked my eyes to the brightness and was able to finally open my eyes completely.
Curiously, I started to look around me and noticed that I was in a hospital bed, clothed in one of those dreadful hospital gowns. A window was to my right, giving sight to the dead dark town beneath. I guessed it was some time in the middle of the night because I saw the crystal clear stars and bright marvelous moon hanging in the sky.
A gasp made me whip my head to my left, my gleaming jade eyes landing on a short dark haired woman, who looked like she was holding something. I squinted to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Apparently not, because this woman was indeed holding a pig.
Don't they hold diseases or something..?
Another lady was in the room, standing beside her with her back facing towards me. All I could see was her blond hair pulled back loosely into two pigtails, and the coal black high heels she was clanging against the floor in frustration.
The said woman was talking among herself, and I could barely make out words like 'damn paperwork' and 'no sake' coming out in an agitated manner. I immediately realized this was the muffled talking I had picked up earlier.
I glanced back over and noticed how Pig lady continued to gaze over at me with wide coal black eyes, looking at me as if she had seen a ghost.
Why was she staring at me so intensely? Was something on my face?
The lady grasped onto the blonde woman's long sleeve, barely able to muttering out something."Look..!"
"What!?" snapped out the blonde lady looking in the direction of the other lady's gaze with sharp honey colored eyes, which instantly received that wide disbelief look when she gazed upon me.
I was seriously starting to think there was something on my face. Just to put my mind at ease, I raised one of my tube-stricken arms and began to feel around across my forehead and down to my cheeks. Nope, nothing was there. So why are these people looking at me like that?
The blonde haired woman immediately ran to my side, opening my eyes in weird positions and checking my vital signs. "Sakura! It's Tsunade, can you hear me?" she spoke to me with urgency in her voice.
What I did next apparently shocked them both to death because she paused in what she was doing and just stared at me, her eyes showing first horror and then grief.
I looked at them both and before quietly uttering two words. "Who's Sakura?"
Okay so I've had this idea playing around in my head for a while now, and I managed to get on the computer long enough to type this up! It's a little short, more like just an intro to the story so the following chapters will be longer! I haven't wrote anything in a while, so please be nice with Reviews!
Love,
