Chapter 11

Sakura never kept her doors locked anymore so she just walked right in and jumped in the shower. No one knew that she was alive. The Council had claimed that she was dead a while ago. When Sakura was clean and dressed she sat in the middle of her floor and realized that she was going to have to remake her wings sooner or later. Deciding that she would rather do it sooner she pulled her chakra to her back and started the painful process.

For two days Sakura held back screams and wriggled on the floor in pain. Sometimes she would even run to the bathroom and vomit. Covered in sweat and blood Sakura finally stopped and just laid there. It was complete. Her wings were stronger and better. Sakura didn't even bother getting on the bed she just simply closed her eyes and let sleep drag her into the land of nightmares like always.

Tsunade would take out the council tomorrow. Everything was set. The Akatsuki were officially apart of the village and willing to help. Everyone was pulling together to make things right, and they owed it all to Sakura. Tsunade still couldn't believe that she was dead. It broke her heart and many, many others.

Sakura was once again clean and dressed and sitting in the middle of her floor. Something was going to happen. She could sense it. Something bigger than all of this, was waiting. She didn't understand how she knew or even what it was but she knew what the feeling meant. She had done some flight test earlier that morning and was pleased in her wings. Looking over at her window, she saw that the sun still wasn't up yet. Sakura faced her window and sat criss-cross, and then she pulled her hands together and focused on her healing chakra. Soon a sphere of green enveloped her. She was going to be ready.

For more than twelve hours Sakura healed every single wound, sore, scratch, bruise, it didn't matter what it was. Her muscles were flexible enough to make a rhythmic gymnastics girl jealous. When the sphere evaporated and Sakura opened her eyes a flame burned and she stood. Another shower was a must but this one was quick. Pulling on black mini shorts with black lace made over them. She grabbed a black tank top and black arm warmers and put them on quickly. Then sitting in the corner of her room was her boots which she saved for last. After she pulled them on she made slits in her tank so her wings could spread. The sun still hadn't come up yet but she was ready.

Tsunade had everyone gathered. They would invade the Council's tower and take them out. They probably knew that they were coming but it was too late to run so she stepped forward and led everyone to a most horrifying surprise. Opening the doors, Tsunade couldn't even breathe. It was dark and the scent of blood and rotting flesh was so strong that it almost swallowed everyone. Small amounts of movement could be seen from the back of the room. Something was on the walls. Tsunade almost wished that she hadn't looked. One, of the three, Council was on the wall climbing around like some satanic demon. When she turned her head all that they saw was a bloody snarl and black eyes. It was disgusting and frightening. When she tried to talk to her the only response that she got was a scream and a lunge. Tsunade hit her hard enough that she heard the lady's jaw snap, but that didn't keep her down. She just sat up slowly, jaw hanging at an odd angel and started at Tsunade. The jaw healed quickly and it was then that the lady spoke. "I see that you have come to destroy us. But you will find that harder than you thought." Tsunade ignored that asked "What happened to you?" The lady smiled widely revealing nasty, black, and yellow teeth. Some of them were chipped into sharp angles, which only continued to give her a more satanic look. "We have become magic! We have become power. We have become…death!" Then the fight was on.

Sakura opened her window and just jumped. Her wings caught the air and pushed her up. She could see movement underneath her and almost dropped her mouth open when she saw all the people fighting against…monsters. Naruto was about to get a kunai through the heart but she dropped out of the sky and crushed the things head. Then with that she was up again. Sakura felt a pull inside the tower and really wished she didn't. It was dark and smelly but her raptor and night vision allowed her to move freely. Staying near the roof Sakura looked around and was totally disgusted! There was rotting corpses everywhere. Flesh was thrown in random places and revolted her. Seeing an entrance that went below the tower Sakura immediately went for it. Normally Sakura would be freaking out but…what did she have to lose?

Chapter 12

Sakura was led to stairs that went deeper and deeper into the earth until the air was starting to get cold. Finally it came to an end. A wooden door stood between her and whatever was calling her. Without waiting any longer Sakura pushed the door open and walked in confidently. The room was huge and for good reason too. There sitting in the middle of the room was…a ball of blood. It was huge and powerful. Sakura could easily overpower it but instead she looked at what was in the middle. There sat…the Council. Then it clicked, but she was too late. They were already in the room, their bloody smiles boring into her. Sakura didn't even turn around; she let them crawl, because it was she who would stand above all this. When she finally turned they were all behind her, each just as ugly as the last. Sakura looked down and then gracefully she moved into her fighting stance and called fire and held it in her hands glaring at them intently.

She didn't have to wait long for their attack. They acted like angry children almost, but for the most part, she was handling it. If she could take this into the sunlight she would have an advantage so she decided to try something. Creating a link of earth between her and the ball of blood, Sakura smacked the monsters down and dragged it up the steps. It was like dragging a large balloon but they were close behind. If she stopped or slipped…she was dead. Finally there was enough space and Sakura jumped into the air and pushed her wings down and was gone. When she made it to the ground floor of the tower three kunai hit her, and she went down.

While rolling on the floor Sakura pulled out the kunai in her leg shot back up and continued to drag the ball. While flying she pulled out the two in her arms. She was almost there when one appeared in front of her and she simply knocked him down. He tried to bite her and she punched his nasty teeth down his throat. Creating a barrier out of the elements Sakura tossed the real Council in it and then flew straight up, barely missing the teeth of one of the nasty, not real, Council person.

Leaving this mess for Tsunade, Sakura flew over the woods and soon saw what she was looking for.
