HIII! Sorry for the super long wait! I want to thank the people that reviewed and favorited this story, it meant a lot to me. So thank you to all and I hope you enjoy the second chapter of Rise of the Black Blossom.
Disclaimer: As I said last chapter, I do NOT own Naruto.
It was midnight and everything was eerily quiet in the estate. The only noises were the light footsteps of the little girl that was walking through the dimly lit corridors. The young girl's fingertips were covered by the deep crimson substance that now dripped from the formerly snow white walls. Her cotton candy pink hair tussled and her emerald eyes slightly unfocused from having just woken up.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" a scream of bloody murder suddenly rang in the air, piercing through the seemingly unbreakable silence that had come before it.
The girl's head snapped in the direction of the scream. "Okaa-Sama?" the little girl whispered eyes wide and now fully awake.
She turned and started walking in the direction that her mother's voice had come from, paying no heed to the warning bells in her head or the voice telling her to stop, to turn around, and to run; to get as far away as possible from where she was currently heading to.
In a short time, she arrived in a room bare of any furniture. The previously white walls were covered in red and the hardwood flooring had small pools of the same sticky crimson substance that was splattered on the walls. In the middle of the room there were two bodies laying lifelessly on the ground surrounded in a puddle of their own blood.
"Okaa-Sama? Otou-Sama? Is that you?" the little girl said, stepping towards the two bodies.
"G-G-GET A-AWAY FROM ME!" Another scream, this one a higher pitch than the first one.
"Onee-Sama?" the girls said as she walked around the bodies of her dead parents and towards the staircase at the other side of the room. When she reached the second floor she walked down the hall and came to a stop at the entrance of yet another room. This one though had a small lamp in the corner and a window on the wall opposite of the doorway.
Two people were inside the room not counting the pink haired girl. One of the figures was a black haired girl in her teens. She was on the floor facing away from the door and was slowly crawling towards it.
"S-Stop. D-Don't c-come any closer." the black haired teen said as she scooted towards the door. When the teen reached the doorway she bumped into the pink haired little girl's body and immediately turned around, frightened. When she saw who she had bumped into she let out a sigh of relief.
The black haired teen put her hands on the girl's shoulders and said "Sakura-Hime Sama, you must get out of here. You are in danger."
"Onee-Sama? What's wrong? Why are you shaking so much?" the little girl, Sakura, asked her black haired older sister.
"That doesn't matter right now. What does matter is getting you out of here before its . . . too . . . . late." as soon as those last words left Sakura's sister's mouth her eyes became dull. Blood splattered onto Sakura's young and childish face and into her mouth. A metallic taste filled up her mouth as she watched her sister's head be severed from her body and drop onto the ground as her body followed soon after. Sakura's eyes followed her sister's body and what she saw was not a pretty sight: Her sister's beheaded body laying in a pool of her own blood.
A low, dark chuckle sounded from in front of Sakura and she slowly lifted her eyes to see who or what had made that noise. A tall figure loomed in front of her. Because of their height it was fairly obvious it was a man. How old he was could not be estimated as his entire face was covered by a black hood. The katana he gripped in his hand was drenched in blood. Drenched in the blood of Sakura's relatives.
"So you're the famous princess of the Amaya clan? Interesting, I thought you'd be a bit older." the man said in a cold and emotionless voice.
"What are you going to do with me?" Sakura asked.
"My mission was to kill the entire Amaya clan but you've caught my interests." he stated as he walked closer to her and kneeled down to her height and lifted his unoccupied hand to caress Sakura's cheek. "I'll let you live. I'm sure you'll grow up to be a very strong girl. I'll find you when you've grown up and I will make you mine. It would do you well to remember that."
These were the last words Sakura heard until her eyes suddenly got heavier. The last thing she remembered seeing before her eyes closed completely were two grey and purple ringed eyes that stared into her soul.
"AHHHHHHH!" Sakura screamed as she awoke, sweating and out breath, from her terrible dream.
"Sakura-Hime? Are you alright? Is something wrong? What happened?" Okami asked his gasping mistress in a worried voice.
"I'm fine Okami. It was just a dream. Yeah, just a dream." Sakura said as she tilted her head up and placed her hand over her eyes.
"It was that dream again mistress? That's the second time this month. We have to do something." Okami said once more.
"I told you it was nothing. So just let it go. Come on we have to see the Hokage anyways." Sakura said as she jumped down from the tree she was in and headed towards the now open gates of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
