Chapter 5 – Dream Comes to Life
Everyone turned to the screech. Everyone thought it was… Maito Gai. Though, it was Matirashi Anko the most sadistic women of all districts. She, as usual, wore that same sadistic grin of hers. Her hair tied up in a tight spiked up pony tail, wearing the fish net shirt, and the baggy tan jacket with the same usual shorts and standardized ninja shoes.
Everyone sighed in relief, though some tensed up. As soon as Anko spotted a blob of pink hair, she knew right away who she was, "Sakura-chan!" Sakura turned her head to face Anko with a small microscopic smile. They met during one of Sakura's missions, though Anko does not know about ROOT and Sakura.
"Konichiwa Anko-san," She bowed. "How are you? Are you still the weaponry teacher?"
She smiled and nodded, "Aah, I forgot, I have to teach TenTen how to use the demon wind shuriken! And," she paused while making everyone wait. She continued, "Gai is coming, I better leave before he starts making me do 500 push-ups. Ja ne!" with that, she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"You know her?" Konan nudged the cherry blossom's ribs, giving her a nod as a response. They soon groaned as some saw the usual green spandex man with his trusty side-kick, the mini version of Gai, beside him.
"Come my youthful students!" Gai blew his silver whistle hard, making almost everyone rub or pick at their poor worn out ear. "I see we have another youthful student… with gorgeous pink youthful hair!" Lee added for Gai. Yes, the prince of the bushy eyebrows was infatuated by the pink haired girl.
Gai gave her thumbs up and smiled, making the sun shine down on his teeth, making a dramatic Ping! She sweat dropped at this. "You must be Haruno Sakura! Kakashi-san has told me that you are 12 years old, such a youthful age, and already at high school! Also, Pein told me you are the newest addition to the Akatsuki." Everyone stared wide eyed at the emotionless façade on the cherry blossom's porcelain face.
"Hai." She nodded. Soon, everyone was getting warmed up by doing 450 push ups, 500 sit ups, 300 laps around the school, and 530 jumping jacks. Well, let's just say Akatsuki wasn't sweating a drop while everyone was on their 167 lap when Akatsuki were on their 247th… Ok, maybe I made a slight mistake. Itachi and Sakura were on their last lap… Yes, they ran non-stop and did not sweat a drop. Itachi had to admit, this girl was hard-core! After they finished, Sakura had to admit, she was impressed.
"First time someone can keep up with my slow pace…" she smiled at him. He decided he like that warm smile of hers. It was rare to see her smile now, well, to others. 'I suppose she isn't very social, though she is very friendly but not naïve either.' He thought. He couldn't help it, her pink hair was mesmerizing as it blew with the wind's rhythm, her apple green eyes were shining and sparkling within the sunlight, and her body was actually a bit muscular. Most girls he sees have slender bodies, though he never saw a girl with a bit muscle.
"YOSH! You are the first two people to finish the laps and warm ups in less than…" he paused and checked his timer he was wearing around his neck. "less then 1 hour. I guess you two can take a break and I'll use you two as example for a spar." They nodded and rested under the usual oak tree. Sakura leaned on the tree to the right while Itachi leaned to the left.
As Itachi rested, he was deep in thought, not caring if the fan-girls were staring at him again. As Sakura rested, she felt her jade green eyes droop each breath she takes into her lungs. She sighed and rubbed her eyes to stay awake. And soon, she was in a deep slumber, remembering her past with a demon…
/-\Flashback/-\
It was a dark night. The owls hooted immediately once the sun set downward. The wolves growled, waiting for their prey to come scurrying out of brushes and homes. Everyone was safe inside their warm, cozy and comfortable home. Though, expect for one particular girl…Actually, to be more specific, one 9 year old naturally pink haired girl. She was feared by most adults.
On this very night, it all happened… Little Haruno Sakura came back from a very difficult A-ranked mission, assassination again. Blood covered her little hands, red smeared on her face. She hated it… Even though she was killing the bad, she did not want to kill. She hated Danzou for torturing her, for letting her face reality too soon. For letting her see blood… The only thing she liked about him was that he took care of her. Only giving her an expensive room, clothes, feeding her, providing her the things she wanted.
As she trudged through the town, everyone did not notice the poor exhausted girl for they were sound asleep in their beds. She walked slowly with little effort of trying her hardest. Her eyes growing heavier each passing moment as the moon gazed down on to the poor girl, almost as if the moon felt pity on her miserable, yet luxury life. She yet used to be an ingénue (A/N: For some who do not know… naïve girl/young women ), though ever since she saw the streaming blood of her mother's corpse, she grew devastated, wanting to protect herself from then on.
"You seem tired…" a young woman's voice called out. The cherry blossom could not see her, her bangs covered her eyes as she hung her head from exhaustion. Once she had enough energy to spare, she tilted her head to one side, just enough to see an expensive forest green kimono with a faded brown obi, it had maple leaves sewn to the fabric, making it shine. The woman's face was very similar to porcelain, it look smooth, soft, and was pretty pale itself. Her hair was gorgeous, it was a deep dark purple, almost black, and it was kept down, each passing step she took toward the young girl made the hair sway past her hips.
"You poor girl…" the women cooed. This disgusted her, who was she to coo at someone so… so dangerous?
"Go away." Sakura finally spoke at last. Her voice seemed hard and firm, and don't forget rasped from dehydration.
"I see determination in those nearly dead eyes of yours… I see that you are Haruno Sakura, 9 years old, who entire family gone, adopted by Danzou whom is the owner of ROOT, he sent you on an assassination mission to kill one of the Orochimaru's minions…" she spoke the truth.
Sakura's eyes widen, making her head perk up with interest of who this woman really was, "Who are you…?"
The purple haired girl answered with a smirk on her face, "A demon my dear child. The demon of Hell, in fact, one of the Devil's trusty minions…" soon, her upper right cuspid, upper left cuspid, lower left cuspid, and lower right cuspid started growing pointier and sharper. It was as if they were threatening her to run away because of fright. No, that was not Sakura, she did was not scared, in fact, she stood up straight and tall with pride in every limb.
"What do you want from me?" she said in a stern voice that did not seem like a child's voice. The devil's minion gave a fake pout made Sakura sweat drop.
"Well, the devil wants me to fetch a something for him, though I found you and I guess it doesn't hurt to have fun right?" she smiled a greedy smile. "I mean, I have been working for that lazy-ass for years on end… I deserve a break right?" Sakura nodded slowly, not getting the point.
"What do you mean?" the pink haired girl asked.
"So innocent…" the woman spoke softly. "I have too many powers… Too much power to be held into one being, so, since I stumbled upon you, mortal, I shall split my soul in half giving you 2 lives… Only 2…" And so then, the demon did several hand seals as Sakura tried fleeing, scared for life. But, seeing that the demon will catch her sooner or later, she stood still, into a defensive position.
"Kai!" Soon, a deadly gray mist appeared, though it was actually her soul… In less than 5 minutes, the mist flowed around Sakura, making the little girl tense and frightened.
"Onegai, stop!" she screamed as pain took over her body… And then… It was dark.
