Chapter 1: I'm Not Dead?

She was floating, that was all Sakura could figure out, 'Where?' she wondered vaguely noting the strange sensation of something drifting over her. It wasn't long until the fog that kept her from truly panicking about the strange feeling, swept through her brain again and lulled her back into the soft green void of unconsciousness.

When she again regained her state of half-consciousness she could make out the sound of soft footsteps nearing her. Those steps however were soon followed by a rather shocked grunt which was most definitely male.

"What in the!" his surprisingly smooth exclaimed and then the footsteps began again though they came much closer in a swift gait.

Sakura groaned cracking her eyes open wearily, before promptly groaning again at the blinding light that shone upon her face. She pursed her lips trying to figure out what the hell was going on but the male spoke again. "How did you get in here?" he questioned his voice was hard and filled with a strange note she couldn't identify. Curiosity maybe?

Though she couldn't really bring herself to care too much for the male as she pulled her chakra to the forefront, of her mind and tried to detect any of her comrades. But to no avail, there was nothing, not even the man beside her radiated a chakra signature, and that was downright impossible! She forced her eyes open to look around shifting slightly to the right to get a glimpse of the man beside her.

'Itachi Uchiha?' she wondered staring at the strange man though his hair was pitch black darker than any Uchiha she had known and she had a very hard time thinking that the dark haired man was her ex-teammates brother considering his eyes were red but it wasn't the sharingan. Again she sent a small probe of chakra though this time in went to him trying to figure out why this male didn't seem to have any chakra. 'Could he have cloaked it?' she thought, 'No even then there should be some sort of signal… then where am I?' This thought caused her to finally look around her, it was a musty old room the floor a few feet away totally gone and she was right in the blinding light of the sun. Confusion took a residence in her mind as she again her gaze turned to the man.

"Wh-Where?" she choked out weakly realizing that the wounds that had killed her before were somewhat healed but still quite fatal.

His eyes widened slightly at the weakness in her voice and suddenly his eyes went from her face and scanned her body. Widening almost comically as she was quite certain her chest and stomach still had circular holes in them and more than likely were bleeding profusely. Now that she thought about… They were starting to hurt like hell, 'Great… Feeling is returning, this is going to suck…' she thought her green eyes staring intently at the man mostly willing herself not to show any pain considering she had no idea if he was an enemy.

Then he moved his hands going into his tattered red cloak and pulling out a strange green orb. Sakura tensed unsure of what he was going to do, but her eyes widened as he held the orb above her wounds and whispered something. To her amazement the pain she was expecting to feel heighten at any moment began to instantly recede. Her eyes widened as she stared at him, "What?" again confusion flooded her.

He looked at her strangely, "You do not know what materia is?"

She looked even more confused, "What?" she repeated sitting up examining the wounds that looked little more than scratches compared to before. She was obviously not going to die again.

He held up the orb, "Materia… they hold all abilities…" he stated giving her another strange look.

She tried to smiled, "I have no clue what it is…" she answered.

Again he gave her a look, "Never heard of material?"

"Nope…"

"Strange."

Sakura gave him a look of her own, "Well sorry! All I remember is dying…"

His brow raised in scepticism, "Dying?"

"Mmmhmm! I haven't a single clue where I am, or when I am for that matter!" she grumbled looking nonplussed, "I died trying to stop my friends from killing each other…" she frowned at him. "I don't even know if they survived through the war…"

"If they were trying to kill each other… does that not mean one or both are dead?"

"No… I stopped them… It's why I died, and they promised to stop being enemies and to fight together to beat that bastard Uchiha to death." she answered.

At this his eye brows raised again, "Kill one man, he cannot be that powerful."

"He was immortal… as far as we knew he had no weak point… but then again nobody could hit him. He could see through your attacks before you could even make them." she answered again looking around the dingy room. "Where are we? Oh and Who are you?" she questioned realising she hadn't a clue of who he was.

He looked slightly surprised at the change of topic, "Shinra Manor… in Nibelheim." he answered. "But it is common courtesy to introduce yourself before asking of my name."

Sakura's eye twitched slightly, "Sakura Haruno…"

He nodded his head as he stood again dust swirling up around him, "Vincent Valentine."
