~*What Am I*~
Summary: Once every millennia, an advanced human being is born into the world. No one knows why this special thing happens, all they know that this special person has to be kept secret. Sakura Haruno happens to be the lucky but very unlucky person born.
~O~
Sakura woke up and looked at her clock; 3:36 AM. She never had a full night sleep because of the City that never sleeps. She would hear gunshots, car crashes, police sirens all over, sometimes they would be within two miles of her. She hated how her ears would pick up every single sound; to the loud barking of a dog next door to the sound of rain drops hitting the ground. She lifted out her bed, stretching her back and cracking her neck. She stood up and walked toward her closet, since she was up she mind as well try to go out.
She knew it would be a risk; but that's why she moved. Nobody knew her so nobody would miss her. Putting on a pair of baggy jeans and an over sized hoodie, she hid her body to disguise herself as a male. She then hid her short pixie hair cut under a baseball cap. Checking herself in the mirror, she looked exactly like a boy. She hated to do to this to herself but she had to. To finish it off, she threw the hood over her hat to cover her pink hair that showed in the back.
Opening her seventh story window, she jumped out and landed quietly on the ground below, she was lucky that this side of the city it was dark and the street lights were dim, so nobody would have seen her. Walking down the dark sidewalk, she really had no idea on where she was going. She did this in every she lived in, except this time she didn't look crazy. She remember a time when she lived in Jasper, Texas, police had stopped her and almost arrested her for being suspicious. She rolled her eyes, she took off into one of wooded areas, never to be seen again by them. She knew she probably scared the hell out of them; seeing her at one moment then gone the next.
She guessed that was one of perks of having abilities; getting out of sticky situations. As she passed an alleyway.
"Stop it! Somebody help me!" Somebody cried before their voice was muffled.
She froze before twisting her neck down the dark alleyway, her eyes immediately zeroed in on three guys and woman; She was being held against the brick building, her eyes looking directly at her hoping that she could see her. Sakura turned her head forward and bit her lip, "Hey!" She yelled. She knew what she was about to do would be risky but she couldn't just leave this woman, knowing she had the capabilities. "Leave her alone." She said as she walked toward them. All of them started laughing.
"Isn't it about your bedtime? Head home, little boy before you get seriously hurt out here." One of them said, his voice deep and scratchy-like.
"Let her go." She said, stopping right in front of him, looking into his eyes. His intimidating stature towering over her small, slender one. A loud grumble sounded from his chest and before she knew it, she was hit upside the head and fell against the brick wall beside her. She winced a bit; she wasn't exactly expecting him to hit her so soon and for a big guy, he moved pretty fast.
"Kind of girly-looking for a brat." He said. Her eyes slightly widen when she realized that he had knocked off her hat and hood. She cursed, "None the less, hope you're ready to die." He said pulling out a knife, about the same size as a bayonet. He grabbed her by her hoodie, lifting her up in the brick wall.
"Stop! Don't hurt him!" The woman yelled.
"Shut up, bitch!" He yelled. She put her hand on his wrist before he pushed the knife forward into her abdomen. "Sorry, kid." He said pulling it away. He looked down at the knife, his eyes widening in disbelief. The blade bent into a ninety degree angle. He heard a giggle and looked up at her. A smiled grazed her face before tightening her hold on his wrist, snapping it backwards. He let out a loud cried, pulling away from her. She casually picked up her hat, placing it back on her head and pulling her hood over it.
"I'll say it again; let her go." The man who held the woman against the wall let go almost immediately before him and rest took off down the rest of alley. Sakura let out a loud sigh.
"You're not a boy, are you?"
"No." She said, "You better head home, they might come back." She said before leaving the woman alone. She smiled to herself, she did okay. She didn't show that much about herself. An explanation for the knife not going through her could be that he simply missed and hit the wall behind her and anybody could break a wrist with the right amount of pressure. She looked down at her stomach to see the hold the knife left. She frowned; this was her favorite one.
Returning back to her apartment, this time using the entrance, she stopped. Men dressed in black stood there as if they were waiting for her.
"So once again, you found me."
"You are coming with us, Sakura Haruno." One said before all of them surrounded her.
She smirked, "You know, this is getting really old and I'm getting tired of it. You already know what's gonna happen next; why do you insist on keep coming after me?"
"You are danger to the human race; you are to be locked away to prevent any further chaos."
"Further Chaos? For the past five years, I have been careful, there is no need." She said.
"Approximately ten minutes ago, you saved a woman. You showcased your abilities to eyes."
She shook her head, "No, I didn't, that poor woman was in danger and there was nobody around, I had to do something."
"You leave that to the local authority."
"If I had, that woman would be dead by now," She let out a loud sigh, "Please, I don't want to kill any more of you." She warned. They took a step toward her, seeing that she closed her eyes and started shaking her head. Why couldn't they just live her alone? How many were they? If she could take guess from 13 between that turned until now; she'd say she killed over 500 of them. Now it would be...if 510 now.
~O~
Sakura fell against her seat, leaning her head back against the seat. Once again, she was on a plane, heading to a new place; this time Boston. She looked out her window. She had nothing to say anymore; she pursed her lips together tightly as she felt her eyes water. She quickly wiped them away, she began thinking about what happy times she had when she was younger. Something that always made her smile.
She smiled, she remembered the time when she was five, before she was taken, she had been playing kickball with the kids in the neighborhood. One girl had accidentally kicked the ball into one of the boys' head. She let out a small giggle; she forgotten the boy's name, he was the smallest kid on the block behind her. He had long black, shiny hair and feminine features, he was bullied often by the boys and sometimes the girls because of it, something she also had a problem with because of her oversized forehead. He had no parents but he had a foster-father that she remembered being very scary looking and tall with no eyebrows.
For the sake of her, she couldn't remember that boy's name. He had been very sweet toward her, letting her pet his pet bunny, something he never let the other kids do. You could say during their little bonding moments, she liked him a little more than the other boys. You could even say he was probably her first crush without her even realizing at the time. She wondered if she had never been taken; would she still be friends with all the kids in the neighborhood. All of them would of graduating from high school around this time and went to prom.
She then recalled a moment during the game of kickball when the ball had went out into the street, she had been the one to get it. A SUV had been speeding down the street and hit her, she didn't die of course but she had that guy's front fender and hood totaled like he had run into a pole. It was that very day when they got her. She wondered, if she didn't run out into the street to get that ball, would she still be with her parents?
She frowned; maybe...until she realized what she was or her parents did.
Okay, while thinking about it, I came up with another one: An old childhood friend comes back.
Can you guess who it is? Lol, I'm sure you can. ;) I probably won't be revealing him until the next chapter or the 4th chapter.
