Mice and Cats. Cats and Dogs. Dogs and Humans. Humans and Humans. Humans and Demons. Humans and Hell.
It all dies. Only hell can live. It is the cycle of life, hell rules all. We don't want to believe that, but we know it is true. No one has escaped the torture, and pain that we must suffer. But one day, a hero will arise and save us all.
All say this hero is going to be a strong man, full of pride and courage. I say different. I believe our hero will be a strong and powerful woman, full of love and passion.
Alas the time has come for our hero to be born. We know near nothing about this hero. Some believe that we will be left here to suffer and die in the pits of hell. Others believe that this hero might save us. I again, believe differently. I believe this hero will save not only us, but the demons too. These demons disguise themselves as humans. Though they are anything but. Hero, if you can somehow hear our pleas and cries for help, save us. Save us from ourselves. Save them, the demons. Kami have mercy. Our hero, the one named… Sakura Haruno.
"SAKURA!"
Sakura woke up to the sound of her name being yelled.
"Yes?" She asked her roommate, Temari, who was the one screaming her name.
"Time to wake up or else you'll be late again." Temari said.
Sakura looked at the clock next to her.
"Shit! I'm going to be late!" Sakura shouted getting out of bed and running to her dresser. She took her clothes and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.
"I will go and make you a quick breakfast!" Temari yelled to her friend hearing the water turn on.
"Thank you so much!" Sakura shouted out while stripping out of her pajamas which consisted of long pink sweat pants and a black tank top. She stepped into the water. She washed her hair and body quickly then stepped out and put on her clothes, a sleeveless black shirt with pink thread sewn onto it, a fishnet long sleeve shirt under her sleeveless black, and a black mini skirt with a fat stripe of pink on each side. She ran downstairs after putting her long pink hair up in a high ponytail.
"Another murder happened." Temari said handing Sakura a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon.
"When?" Sakura asked taking a bit of the eggs.
"Around 3 in the morning. It was teenager who was out late with his friends. When the police found his body there were bite marks on his neck." Temari said.
"Who was the person that got murdered?" Sakura asked.
"Tai Hoshizawa." Temari answered.
"Didn't you give him a reading last week?" Sakura asked.
She and Temari were sort of like fortune tellers. Sakura used cards and Temari used the old fashion glass ball, they both used them to determine a person's fate or life and such. They could use the cards to tell the person what good or bad things will happen in the near future or if the person asked for a life check they would tell that person what they wanted to know, like if a girl was good for him, if a guy was cheating on her, if her boyfriend would propose, if a pet would die, if a job was going on well, or if the person was going to be happy with a person for the rest of their life. Things like that.
"Yes, he asked me if things would work out well with his girlfriend. I looked into the crystal ball and saw his girlfriend in a dark alleyway with some drunken guy that she looked like she knew. I told him to keep her away from alleyways and he nodded. He kept the girl away from the alley, but not himself." Temari sighed.
"This is getting weird." Sakura said finishing off her bacon and eggs.
"But I can't think about it now I have to go to work. Bye!" Sakura called out leaving the apartment Temari and her shared, heading to the hospital.
When she got inside she was immediately greeted by Tsunade.
"Hello Sakura!" Tsunade, the head of the hospital, smiled at her.
"Hello Tsunade, I am so sorry I am late!" Sakura said bowing her head.
"No need to worry Sakura, I overwork you." Tsunade told her apprentice.
"No you don't! I don't mind working. It's just that I forgot I had to work in the morning. My schedule is so weird having one day I work at the hospital in the morning and do fortune telling in the evening, then the next day I work at the hospital in the evening and do fortune telling in the morning, and then the day after that I work at the hospital all day and do a few fortunes at night. I am so sorry I just tend to get mixed up!" Sakura apologized again.
"It's alright Sakura. I was planning on giving you a month vacation starting tomorrow so you really don't need to worry." Tsunade reassured her.
"A vacation? You are letting me off for a month tomorrow?" Sakura asked excitedly.
"Of course, you work so hard every day that some people actually request you." Tsunade said smiling.
"Really? Yay! I can't wait to tell Temari!" Sakura said.
"Well I have some dreaded paperwork to do so you need to get back to work for now okay?" Tsunade sighed and went to her office.
Sakura nodded her head and left to see her patient.
When Sakura was done with work it was 10:30 pm. Before she left Tsunade reminded her that she didn't have to come back until February 13th. Sakura's vacation was going to be a little longer than a month because she also gets a Christmas break. Today it was December 2nd so really she had about exactly one month for vacation because Christmas break was about eleven days.
She started to walk home when she accidentally ran into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." Sakura apologized.
"It's okay, it was my fault. Hey wait a second, aren't you the card reader?" The man she bumped into asked.
"Yeah, I use tarot cards to read people's fortunes." Sakura said looking up at the man's face. He had blue hair and brown eyes, nothing to amazing.
"I am Katsu Himimote. I was wondering if you could read my fortune." Katsu asked.
"Sure, I could do yours tonight. Follow me, the fortune house is this way." Sakura said turning left. After 2 minutes of walking they were at the fortune house.
The fortune house was only a small little house. It was about 20 feet long and 10 feet wide. Right in the middle of the room was a wall that went to 3 feet away from the door. On each side there was purple flooring and dark blue wallpaper with a bunch of orange and white candles all around. But on the left side was a small coffee table with a crystal ball on it. On the right side there was another small coffee table in the middle with pillows on the two sides.
Sakura went over to the table and sat down on the pillows facing the door. She motioned for Katsu to sit across from her.
"How may cards and what is it you want to know?" Sakura asked taking out a deck of cards, setting them on the table.
"Three cards please. Will anything, good or bad, happen to me in the near future?" He asked.
Sakura looked down at the tarot cards and picked out three cards and set them down.
"The Ten of Swords, the Sun upside-down, and the Ace of Swords." Sakura said looking at the cards she continued. "You will face an evil demon. No mercy will be shown. Stay away from the shadows." Sakura said.
"Wow! You are good! My sister is coming tomorrow, she's a real demon!" Katsu laughed.
"I almost forgot the secondary cards." Sakura said pulling out a second smaller deck. "These cards are special, they tell a lot." Sakura said drawing one and setting down.
"The Black wolf." Sakura said. Katsu looked down at the card it had a black wolf that you could barely see sticking out it's sharp teeth like it is about to eat you.
"What does that mean?" Katsu asked.
"Death." Sakura said standing up after putting her cards away.
"I wonder who will die…" Katsu trailed off.
"Thank you! For fitting me in so late! Good night." Katsu said and then left.
Sakura headed out the door too, locking it behind her. Her apartment was right next door so she didn't have to walk far.
She stuck her key in the lock of her apartment and opened the door. Temari was on the couch watching TV.
"Hey guess what? I have until February 13th for vacation!" Sakura told her friend.
"Cool! We can go shopping for winter clothes tomorrow!" Temari said sitting up.
"Okay then! Anyway I had a long day and ended it with tarot cards so I'm going to bed, night." Sakura said then left to her room, getting into her pajama's and going to bed.
Sakura woke up at around 10 'o clock. She got dressed into a white t-shirt with a cherry blossom deign on it and a plaid green and black skirt with white leggings.
She went downstairs and saw Temari watching the news.
"Morning." Temari said.
"Good morning." Sakura said going into the kitchen to get some cereal. She poured herself a bowl of cheerios and left to sit on the couch with Temari.
"There has been yet another murder tonight around 1 in the morning. The subject was another teenage boy. He was just walking home from a tarot card reading when he was killed. The murder though seems to have been only a wolf. There were claw marks all over the chest area. This boy's name was Katsu Himimote. If anyone see's a wolf please contact the police immediately." The TV news reporter said.
Sakura dropped her bowl on the ground, and it shattered to pieces. "I gave that boy a tarot card reading last night. It came true. I had read he would face an evil demon, no mercy will be shown, and I told him to stay away from the shadows. When I did the secondary cards he got the black wolf, the wolf of death." Sakura gaped.
"Looks like that was right on." Temari said looking at her friend with a worried look.
"Temari… I think that there really are demons out there."
Someone that had been looking in the window smirked.
"You have no idea.
