He was a man with a one track mind. He had a single duty that he carried out with the most utmost efficiency; to protect his home from harm. In his line of duty, he'd seen many unusual things from an 8 year old orphan serial killer to a man making money off of whore fighting.
But, never in his life did he ever believe that he'd be standing next to a burning garden as a mysterious, pink haired woman slept on the ground.
Seriously. Who has pink hair?
When paramedics came onto the scene, he ordered Abberline to stay with the woman until he arrived at the hospital to question her. He took it upon himself to take her belongings with him back to his office and search them.
What he found did not please him in the slightest.
Foreign weapons and papers with an unknown language. He tried to make heads or tails out of everything along with a few of his colleagues, but they were stumped at this unknown information. They were really thrown for a loop when one of the tags combusted and most likely would've exploded had they not managed to put it out with water from a vase.
At this point, he was sure that they woman was a trained assassin sent to harm one of the nobility of England. He gathered his gun and raced off to the hospital, praying that he hadn't sent Abberline to his death.
(Hospital)
While he wasn't a man of religion, if any one asked him what the woman before him was, he'd say she was an angel.
She seemed to radiate a green mist and the dark lines that spread across her body almost seemed to be alive. Her lips were rosy red contrasting against her pale skin. She had the body that most woman would kill to have.
She looked fairly young, between the age of 16 and 20. She was prime for marriage and any man would love to have her in his home, him included.
"Her breathing is normal, heart sounds normal, face is unnaturally pale however; I wonder if she's sickly, "the doctor mumbled to himself
"Her hair is a strange color also, a birth defect, "A nurse contributed to the doctor's thoughts
"Possibly, this very strange, "the man replied while prodding the dark lines with a scalpel, "What are these"
He couldn't help but stare at her. She seemed very fragile and out of place, like a discarded china doll. Her clothing was odd also. She was wearing some kind of red and white top that showed off her naval, tight white shorts, and opened toed heels.
His mind swirled with possibilities of how this woman came to the streets of London. She seemed to be oriental, so he wondered if she was a part of human trafficking and somehow escaped her captors or she came here for work of some kind.
When they arrived at the medical facility, the nurses stationed her in one of the far rooms of the dormitory. Afraid of catching some sort of disease, they nurses outright refused to change the woman into scrubs, even with gloves on.
He sat in a chair next to her bed and continued to analyze her in his mind. She was an enigma that he desperately wanted to figure out. It was like an everyday case, find all the pieces of the puzzle and put them together to get the answer. That's exactly what this woman was.
"Nnngh, "a small voice awoke him from his day dreaming, "Where….am I"
(Sakura POV)
I winced as I opened my eyes to a stark white ceiling. My body felt sore from using my seal for however how long. I needed to shut it off before I gave myself permanent damage.
"Where…am I, "I grunted and started to take in my surroundings
The first thing I noticed was a blushing auburn head male looking at me with wide eyes.
"Um…hello, "he said to me slowly, "how are you feeling?"
"Sore, "I narrowed my eyes at him, "Where is this place"
"Ah, you're in Dominic's Dormitory and Research facility, "he smiled at me
"Who are you, "I continued my not so serious interrogation
"My name is Fred Abberline, Miss, and may I inquire what your name is, my dear, "he placed his hand on top of mine
"Sakura, "I answered and shook his hand away
"Sakura; what an unusual name, yet I believe that I've heard it before, "Abberline was flirting
"It means cherry blossom, "I replied and tried to get out of bed
"Oh no no, you shouldn't get up, "he tried to make me stay
I didn't like this. The scroll had worked, yes, but where did it send me? Who the hell was Dominic and what kind of name was Fred Abberline?
"Sir Randall will be here eventually, so you must stay patient, "he sighed
"Ran-dall, "I said the name with distaste, "So…strange"
"What's strange, "he looked confused
"I….my things; where's my bag, "I growled at him
He seemed to be surprised at my sudden change of face. He unconsciously placed a hand at his waste next to some strange rectangular object.
"Sir Randall will be here eventually; please stay patient, "his voice went from nervous to calm and controlling
Controlling me.
He stared at me as if I was nothing important, something that he could bend to his will.
'Abberline…just who does he think he is, "the other me growled, 'Foolish man'
'Inner, 'I started
"Wraaaagggghhhhh!, 'she screamed, 'Konoha Go-Ikenban!'
'Inner, calm down, 'I shouted back at her
'No, "she shrilled, 'Abberline, Dominic, Randall, what kind of names are those'
'I don't know, 'I answered
'Exactly, 'she mumbled, 'Who knows where we are"
'I don't know, 'I repeated, 'So let's just play along for now'
'Yes, for now, "Inner started to laugh, "Kukuku, until I finally get the chance to play"
That's it for now. Sorry this was so short guys; I didn't want too much going into this one chapter and needed a point to cut it off. I hope you guys enjoyed it though.
So, do you guys have any advice that you'd like to give me? Other than grammar, punctuation, and all that other lovely stuff I need to go fix. :3
The next chapter should be out soon, but I think I'm gonna go update Past, Present, No Future and What's Doesn't Kill You, Makes you Stronger first. (Salvation's revision is coming after Run Devil Run is all caught up)
Ja'ne all my dark maidens and warriors
