I drove to the ball which by now was in full swing. Jiro was dancing with Ino rather passionately before spotting me. His whole body turned to look at me with a giant smile stretched onto his lips. It was then I felt it someone staring at me. I couldn't locate them I took deep breath before walking down the glass staircase where Jiro was waiting for me. I felt nervousness creep up my neck and as I entwined hands with him a spark happened.
"Jiro" laughed a little girl with light pink hair, she was running through the field of sunflowers "Jiro where are you?" she giggled running deeper into the field. Jiro jumped out tackling her to the ground.
"You want to know something Sakura?" Sakura jumped up and nodded her head quickly "you are my light" Sakura smiled but didn't really understand what he said.
Sakura smiled before running deeper into the sun flower field laughing as Jiro followed closely behind her. They entered the king's secret garden and found a boy with long black hair training. Jiro hide in the bushes knowing full well what would happen to them if they were found in the palace without permission. Sakura on the other hand didn't stop and actually entered the garden making the boy stop his training and looked at her.
"What are you doing here girl?" asked the boy, the girl pouted
"My names Sakura Haruno not girl" the boy laughed
"Do you know where you are?" he asked worried
"The garden of the palace" the boy looked at her weird
"Do you know who I am?" Sakura shook her head "I'm Prince Itachi Uchiha" Sakura's eyes widened as she started backing up but was stopped as Itachi appeared in front of her making her jump backwards.
"Do you want to train with me Sakura?"
"No she doesn't" interrupted Jiro, Itachi and Jiro exchanged glares
"I would love to Itachi" smiled Sakura; Sakura Haruno said this never knowing that this was the start of her tragic lifeline.
10 years later…..
"Sakura you need to kill the prince now or you're going to be shunned from the society" Jiro begged "I told them that your child was mine but it will only keep them off for so long" Sakura signed place a hand on her stomach.
"Why must I kill my lover?" Sakura whispered sadly
"Because it's your mission" Sakura signed, I can't kill him!
"Fine I'll complete my mission as soon as the baby's born"
"Don't back out or the consequences will be deadly" Jiro said with an underlined threat in his eyes
"Are you threatening me Jiro" Sakura asked seriously
"Of course not my love and I'm just giving you a possible outcome if you are to fail" Jiro finished before vanishing into the night.
I came back in an instant Jiro was smiling at me as he lead me to the center of the dance floor. I glanced onto the stage where Itachi was glaring daggers at Jiro but after realizing I was staring at him gave me his full attention.
"Sakura you need to listen me now" I jumped looking around for a cause only to see Itachi staring me down harder "make an excuse and meet me in the bathroom" I gulped before shaking my head slightly. Itachi was literally on his knees singing now but still staring at me.
Itachi jumped off stage and appeared right in front of me making Jiro jump back as Itachi cupped my cheek "my angel rest in peace, fear no evil because the only evil is me" I flinched
"Itachi I'm sorry" Sakura dropped the dagger as Itachi turned to look at me
"Aren't you going to complete your mission?" Sakura looked away
"I don't know if I can" Itachi embraced me in a hug resting his chin on my head I felt it the dagger piercing my stomach "my angel rest in peace, fear no evil because the only evil me" I felt black spots appear in my vision.
"Forgive me my love" I whispered but as the world turned black I saw Jiro standing over Itachi's body slashing him with a kunai knife like a mad man.
I looked up into Itachi's eyes they were filled with so much love yet at the same time so much sadness I couldn't move or think. He leaned down and kissed me softly I couldn't stop it I felt alive and weightless. That all ended as Jiro appeared in front of us pushing us apart with deadly eyes. He placed a gun to my side covering it from sight with his jacket "outside now" Itachi followed closely behind us as we made our way to the garden. As we walked through the entrance I found Rin hiding under a tree but she was younger almost a kid.
"Mommy open your heart" I looked Jiro dead in the eyes
"You son of a bitch" I whispered "you used me this whole time is my life some kind of sick joke to you"
"Well that's a first typically you start with oh my god Jiro why are you doing this to me but I guess it changed a little" he threw me forward and pointed a gun at Itachi "You surprised me at how much of a slut you were in this life it was hilarious" I couldn't stop looking at Rin who smiled softly at me as she walked into the field. Itachi looked up and his eye widened. Jiro turned around pulling out a second gun and pointing it at Rin. Rin didn't look scared at all "you can only defeat him together mommy" I didn't know what happened but I was running forwards my fist balled. Jiro looked at me with cold eyes "bring it on my love" I slammed my fist dead in his face.
"I trusted you Jiro but I see now that was all your plan even from the very beginning" I punched him again before slamming him down on the ground but then he vanished as I felt blades slash my skin on my arms, legs, and stomach. I was on fire Itachi appeared by my side and then I saw it red energy surrounded him I felt something cold slip into my fingers and looked down to see a gun with a rose design on the side. I stood up ignoring the pain as I looked Jiro dead in the eyes.
"Well you actually are fighting this time is amazing" he said laughing like a mad man as orange energy surrounded him "the idiot and the prince what a couple" he laughed as the energy shot out. I ducked feeling the blades cut through my back. The pain was unbearable but I couldn't die like this. I clutched the grass trying to ease the pain. I felt heat swarm around me before spreading around me like a wild fire. I looked up only to receive a boot to my face. Itachi was there in second hurling Jiro across the garden Rin was standing by Itachi looking even younger. I wasn't going to go out like this again I grabbed Itachi's hand and I focused all my energy on Itachi then I felt it, energy surround me. I opened my eyes to see silver ribbon like energy covering me and Itachi and Rin. Itachi was staring at me his energy went from having jagged edges to ribbon like form. His eyes were blood red I look at our linked hands. On the back of my hand was a keyhole and on his was a key. I looked in his eyes and saw fear but also happiness.
We raised our linked hands up in the air "by the power of my heart I bound thee" I said almost from memory "and open my heart to the fire" the energy around me grew stronger "I accept the role of the bearer and the lock" I felt my head burning but not in a painful way "I shall defend thee till my light goes out for you are my light and I'm your lock"
Itachi smiled "by the power of my soul and the warrior spirit I bound thee" he looked me dead in the eyes "open my heart to the light the circles thee" our energy blended together "I accept the role of the key and the defender" energy covered my arm "I Shall defend thee till death takes my soul for I'm the key to unlock your heart" energy consumed me as we pointed our enjoined hands at Jiro.
Together we finished the spell "We bind thee Jiro to the dark depths of hell. The light is warm and my heart is light so bring forth my lovers might" energy shot out from our hands slamming into Jiro's body. His screams filled my ears as he was consumed my fire and slowly became ash. I felt tears fall down my cheeks, rest in peace my friend. Rin fell forwards Itachi and I leaned down looking at her worriedly.
"We're a family again finally" she smiled at us "welcome home mommy and daddy" she was vanishing slowly
"Rin what's happening?" I begged
"Don't worry you'll see me again" she said as she put a hand on my stomach "its fate mommy we will meet again someday" with that she vanished. I hugged Itachi.
"So this is a new beginning for us?" I asked, Itachi smiled
"Yes it is and it took long enough" I smiled before kissing him with all the strength I had.
10 year later….
"I now pronounce you man and wife you may kiss the bride" Itachi smashed his lips against mine as the church exploded with claps and cheers. He picked me up and carried me down the ail never once breaking the kiss. We both had finished high school together and college our lives were falling into place little by little. The future was bright and we were alive what more could we ask for.
