I know this chapter is longer than the other ones I've written. But this is the most important fight that you will ever read about Sakura's powers and so on.
Anyway, please read review!
After Itachi had put Kabuto into the loop, he was getting annoyed by the fact that the enemy was trying to escape from his clutches and turn into Orochimaru. But Kabuto couldn't accept his failure, so he used Water Dragon technique but it was futile since Itachi had counterattack him with his Water Dragon Bullets, which further shot him through his body multiple times. A few minutes later, Kabuto stood up unconsciously while Itachi promised to stop the Edo Tensei jutsu and less battles would occur.
Meanwhile outside the desert, the five Kage had been having a difficult time killing the monsters that kept appearing in their sight. Gaara was most likely deflecting their attacks away from his comrades as soon as possible. He didn't notice that the other creatures were attempting to slash him with their gigantic bare claws, yet the sand automatically shielded him.
"At this rate, if one of us loses our chakra inside us, we would be screwed," the red-haired Kazekage said worriedly in his mind.
The clouds began to darken and emerge throughout the evening and the sound of thunder was making deep rumbling noises with flashing light. The pink-haired kunoichi continued to run further nonstop, even though she was panting breathlessly while looking down on the bright pearl bracelet on her right palm. She carefully examined the letters on each bead she counted, then figured out that they were a secret code.
"Wait a minute. Could they mean a hidden location of where she is?" She asked herself blankly in her mind.
"Absolutely. There's no mistaking it," her inner self said with certainty.
"I, T, C, B, P," the pink-haired kunoichi spelled it out slowly and questioned. "What does it mean?"
"I got it. In the circular bottom pit," she answered.
"I see... So Katsumi must be two kilometres away. She's nearby," Sakura said, fixated on the front view.
Fifteen minutes later, she arrived at the edge of the rock and looked around the landscape. She quickly ran down to the pit and halted in the center but was not able to see clearly due to the fog.
"What is going on?" Sakura was puzzled and yelled out loud. "Where are you? Come out!"
It was dead silent at first, much to her irritation.
"Well, well, well... What a lovely surprise," a familiar voice said slyly, clapping slowly with her hands raised up. She began to reveal herself, which further shocked Sakura in disbelief.
Katsumi was wearing a dark purple armour with short red skirt and black high knee boots, especially her sword was strapped behind her back. Her vicious smirk was plastered on her face.
"You... What the hell happened to you? Your outfit. Is that your own transformation? How could you possibly upgrade that fast if you don't know the basic ninja techniques? Not to forget that you are just an-" the pink-haired kunoichi furrowed her eyebrows confusedly when she got interrupted.
"Ordinary person? Hah. Oh please, Sakura. You should know by now that Tobi has given me the best gift that I ever received. Luckily, I recovered quickly. Your reaction to what I am now is totally priceless," Katsumi chuckled nonchalantly and continued on. "I don't give a damn about those basic jutsus like you and everyone else have gone through. Taking the easy route is so much worth it because with these powers, I'm able and willing to destroy all of you in just a spark of dust. Perhaps, even crushing all of your bones and flesh."
Her inner half sweatdropped awkwardly and said. "Alrighty... That is a whole lot of creepiness. Talk about cringe."
"If that's the case, then I must knock you into your senses. You are not in the right state of mind," Sakura pointed out quietly, narrowing her eyes desperately. "Don't you realize what you're doing? What if Gaara sees this? Katsumi... I may not know you that well, but if there is still something good in you, then you would know that this is all wrong."
Katsumi raised an eyebrow ignorantly and remarked. "I do not care about what you're saying to me. Face it. Why should I listen to you? You have taken everything I have. You always get his attention and care."
Sakura shook her head and retorted back. "I never took anything. I never had any intentions to steal him away from you and I'm sorry if he hasn't been giving you enough time."
"Don't bullshit me. You're the reason why my relationship with him is starting to fall apart. And that letter that your pathetic friend of yours wrote-" Katsumi sneered, swung her hand angrily.
"Never call Lee like that. Sure, he may have meddled himself into this situation. But to be honest with you, you did this mostly to yourself," Sakura glared at her as she clenched her fists tightly.
"Hah! Your accusation on me is fraudulent," Katsumi rolled her eyes annoyingly and continued on with a cold stare. "Just imagine him reading that letter, my future plans with him will be over. Luckily, I happened to stop by his office and discovered it myself. I shredded it into pieces and disposed of it. Now my only goal is to kill you right here."
The pink-haired kunoichi ignored her as she quickly began to charge and pull out her kunai knives and shurikens towards her direction. Katsumi deflected them away from her with her arm out.
Sakura made a few hand signs to perform her Cherry Blossom clones technique, showing four of them and using Double-Crane's Earth Edge against her.
Katsumi pulled out her sword and slashed them into puffs of smoke. The pink-haired kunoichi started to combat her physically with her punches and kicks, then spun her left leg to destroy the armour, but was grabbed on the ankle. Katsumi sliced her abdomen.
Sakura stepped back in a slight groan and kicked her chin upright with a powerful force. The dark brunette groaned and gritted her teeth fumingly as she swung her sword at her.
"Cherry Blossom Ultimate Defense!" The pink-haired kunoichi exclaimed as the light pink barrier shielded her.
"Hmph. You have seen nothing yet," Katsumi said, smirking calmly and closed her eyes for a moment. "Ninja Art: Poison Ivy Strings."
All of a sudden, the ground broke out into purple long plant stems and veins that rapidly clutched into Sakura's legs and arms, zapping her intoxicatingly.
"Ahhh!!" The pink-haired kunoichi cried out and dropped into her knees after inhaling the chemicals inside her mouth and nose. She started gagging out blood, much to the brunette's sickening amusement. However, she stood up and used Cherry Blossom Flash to attack her with Multi-Blossom Shards and Wind Blossom Star simultaneously.
Katsumi stumbled back and got scratches on her face and legs. "Argh!! You stupid bitch!"
Then, she disappeared out of her sight and went behind her to throw poisonous bombs around her. Thankfully, the pink-haired kunoichi hopped out of the sight and landed safely on the other side of the surface.
She started panting heavily and stared at the purple veins that were beginning to appear all over her legs and hands till they reached to the tips of her fingers. She was shivering at the spasms she was feeling, so she pulled out a few bottles of antidotes and injected them hurriedly.
Although, she didn't have much time left when Katsumi pushed her off with a huge kick on her back.
Sakura fell and rolled over to the ground and stood up quickly while staring at her run with the sword she was holding. "Ugh! Cherry Blossom Rain of Fire!!"
A couple of meteorites were falling above her and surrounded Katsumi in the circle with flames. Unfortunately, the dark brunette was able to dismiss it with a single blow of wind, turning them into ashes.
"What?! How did you-?!" The pink-haired kunoichi stuttered nervously.
"Like I told you, I'm inevitable! Tobi gave me the power that I needed and crave for! Nobody and not even you can ever stop me!" Katsumi stated cynically and clashed her sword with the kunai knife that Sakura was gripping onto.
The pink-haired kunoichi widened her eyes appall when she saw that Katsumi's pupils were under a deep hypnosis spell. "Shit! She's not herself!"
"I knew it!! Something was definitely wrong with her! Tobi must have cast some genjutsu in her and possibly to keep us at bay," her inner half pointed out.
Sakura dodged Katsumi's sword slashes and started punching her around, but she also missed as well.
The dark brunette made a huge step backward and raised her two fingers upon her lips. "Summon: Prism Wring."
The giant barrier locked Sakura inside completely and showed a time limit, much to her puzzlement. She slowly scanned the walls and was feeling agitated at Katsumi's smug expression.
"You see, this cage will definitely shrink in exactly three minutes. Therefore, leading to pulverize your whole body," the dark brunette described every detail in gratification. "There's no escape for you this time. You will eventually end up dead and I will do the same thing to all of your friends. Isn't that quite exciting?"
"You monster...!" The pink-haired kunoichi was shooting sharp daggers at her and clenching her teeth angrily.
"Okay, I need you to calm down for a minute. There is a way, but we're going to have to do this together," her inner half said.
"How? She literally said that we cannot break out of this," Sakura pointed out frustratingly while she continued to stare at the dark brunette.
"And you believe her?" Her inner half asked calmly.
The pink-haired kunoichi paused for a moment and listened to her talk instead.
"Look, this may lose the amount of chakra I have, but this is the only chance to decamp," her inner half pointed out.
"Hmm. What's the matter? Did you finally decide to give up?" Katsumi said with a mocking smile.
Sakura closed her eyes for a moment and waited for a few seconds to concentrate on what she was supposed to do. Instantly, the wind was beginning to form a circulation around her feet that further created a rocky tornado breaking the glass barrier into pieces of shards.
"What the hell?!!" Katsumi cursed and hid herself away with her arms from the fragments that were striking her.
The cage exploded, whereas the pink-haired kunoichi opened her eyes daringly at her and hovered in the air as soon as she was performing her two combinations of techniques.
"Dance of the Blossom Mist with White Blossom Crane!" She exclaimed when the heavy haze was spraying towards the dark brunette, who was immediately held by the flying creature.
Katsumi shrieked when her armour was pecked by the bird's beak, cracking the rest of them in half.
"Now, Multi-Blossom Shards!" The pink-haired kunoichi gathered the pieces and fling them at her arms and the bottom of her body.
The crane dropped Katsumi out of its huge claws. She was falling quickly until another smirk appeared on her lips viciously.
"Black Raven... Unleash and Steal!" She said, much to Sakura's horror.
Then, a black bird showed up below her and caught Katsumi safely into its arms.
The pink-haired kunoichi went straight to her and attacked her with Earth Shock Wave, but became futile when the bird screeched so loudly and devoured all of her chakra and energy.
"No!" She howled in pain and the crane's wings broke and got bitten by the raven's sharp teeth.
The black bird creature flew across Sakura and scratched her arms with three marks.
Both the pink-haired kunoichi and the crane plummeted down onto the farthest ground of the pit. The creature that Sakura was in suddenly vanished, leaving her in discomfort of the bruises she received.
She started to get up, but tripped when the purple veins started to throb on her wrists. She clutched onto one of them and breathed out slowly.
Katsumi stepped down from the black raven and began to approach her with a few steps forward. "Stage 2: Poison Shots."
The pink-haired kunoichi bolted upright and used Cherry Blossom Flash again in zig zag ways, then attacked her Double-Crane's Earth Edge again.
Katsumi didn't bother to look at her when she released poison wasps out of her back and performed the next stage of the black raven. Sakura, on the contrary, was calm enough to dodge them and attacked them with the blossom shards above.
The creature imprinted a mark on the top of the pink-haired kunoichi's head and flew out to avoid any bombards.
Sakura went on the other side and quickly combated her physically at the front. A few seconds later, she makes a powerful impact on the ground full of force. "Cha!!"
"This is it! The final blow!" Her inner half exclaimed strongly.
She made a few hand signs and said with her bright green pupils beaming with determination. "Quaternary: Ultimate Bloom!"
A great vast was immensely quaking the stones and their surroundings as they all turned into a spark ray of light that was flourishing and striking the dark brunette and fell down unconsciously in just about ten seconds.
The pink-haired kunoichi was panting breathlessly while bracing herself. She began to walk slowly and looked down on her body with a valiant declaration and raised up her hand to perform her sealing technique. "It's done."
Suddenly, two swords stabbed her heart and stomach, making her eyes widened in confusion and bewilderment.
"Huh?!" The pink-haired kunoichi gasped out shockingly.
"Heh. Final Stage: Black Death..." Katsumi grinned sadistically in a whisper after appearing behind the pink-haired kunoichi's back.
"Uh...Sakura... I..." her inner half croaked weakly and disappeared out of her mind.
"No... Don't leave!" She yelled out but it wasn't loud enough for her to hear.
The two swords caused the purple veins to activate the power when Katsumi pulled them out and kicked her heel into Sakura's wound back forwardly, who tried to keep herself steady.
"Gahh!" The pink-haired kunoichi was losing a lot of blood and chakra when she continued to walk away from her in a limp.
"Do you really think you can defeat me?! I've told you earlier you dumb bitch! You lose!!" The dark brunette started to laugh wildly in hysteric as she watched her amusingly. "Just as I thought. You were always weak."
Then, Sakura hits the ground with a loud thump and looks up to the right side of the sunset when her body starts to numb.
Naruto's eyes widened in horror as well as Tsunade, Lee and the leaf squad. Kankuro and Temari glanced at each other, then turned around to witness the far view of the loud boom of the bright powerful essence parting the clouds up and absorbing the lightning into the ground, leading to Katsumi's body.
Sakura became frozen on her spot and shivered slightly at the sight below of the glowing katana. As soon as the pool of blood was surrounding her, she released a bright pink mini cherry blossom flower from her right palm and blew it across the air before it disappeared into a spark of light, sending a signal message to one of her friends.
"Is this it...? If it is, then I guess I'm grateful for completing what needs to be done," the pink-haired kunoichi said softly.
She was breathing out slowly with hollow gasps, blinking several times to keep her eyes open still and remembering her past memories.
FIRST FLASHBACK:
After opening the door in front of her house in the evening, she turned her lights open and was greeted loudly by the majority of her friends inside the house.
"Surprise!!" They replied gleefully in unison, much to her astonishment.
"Happy Birthday, girl!!" Ino squealed happily and hugged her tightly.
"Happy Birthday, Sakura!!" Hinata and Tenten responded with warming smiles as they started to prepare the plates and utilities on the food table.
"Yo! Happy Birthday, hope you got the best dayyy!" Kiba hollered at her with his hands, whereas Akamaru barked and stuck his tongue out while wagging his tail adoringly.
She rolled her eyes annoyingly and laughed ridiculously at him as she approached the dog and rubbed the top of his head.
"Thanks, guys! But you don't have to..." the pink-haired kunoichi murmured shyly.
"Aww, come on. This occasion is important and we want to do something special to our friend like you," Lee complimented and grinned cheekily.
"Indeed," Neji smirked in agreement.
"We made you a birthday cake!" Choji mentioned pleasantly.
"And don't forget, a cherry blossom dreamcatcher, which I drew. Not them," Sai said smiling, much to Kiba and Ino's huff.
"Hey! We helped you with the art, dude!" Kiba fumed vehemently.
"Okay, okay. That's enough. It doesn't matter whoever does this and that. At least, you all made an effort to make my birthday very meaningful," Sakura said smiling fondly at them with her hands folded together and continued on with a frown. "I really miss Naruto sometimes. I wonder how he's doing these days."
Then, the leaf squad parted away from each other to reveal Naruto's smugness.
"Always better than never! I miss you too, baby!" He exclaimed out with his arms spread out.
The pink-haired kunoichi burst out laughing at his silliness and scolded him with a pout. "Stop that! Come here!"
The blonde-haired ninja came over to embrace her and said genuinely. "Happy Birthday, my beautiful friend."
The pink-haired kunoichi chuckled and closed her eyes for a moment to hold her tears back, saying. "Thank you, Naruto..."
"Awww... Two friends finally meet again," Tenten gushed over their friendship.
"Yeah," Shino agreed as he pushed his eyeglasses forward.
Then, there was a sudden knock at her door, so Sakura turned the handle over and saw the Sand Siblings standing with gifts on their hands.
"Happy birthday, pinky!" Kankuro and Temari greeted merrily in unison.
"Kankuro! Temari! Come in!" She came up to them and gave them a quick hug. Both of them carried the boxes over to the present area and greeted the others. Her eyes landed on the red-haired Kazekage who was smiling peacefully at her.
"Happy birthday, Sakura!" He said and wrapped his arms around her gently, much to her surprise.
The pink-haired kunoichi got startled and hid her blush away on her cheeks. "Thank you, Gaara..."
Tenten gritted her teeth and tried to not to smirk at the two loving best friends, whispering at Hinata. "You know, I think these two look good."
"Um... Let's not talk about that here," the Hyuga kunoichi laughed nervously as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Psst!! Oy, what are you two girls gossipping about?!" Kiba called out.
"That's what I would like to know. Probably some steamy tea," Kankuro snorted jokingly with a laugh when Temari punched him on the shoulder. "Ow!!"
"You and Kiba need to shut your traps and just leave the girls alone," the four ponytail-haired kunoichi scolded.
Tenten looked at her and said with a smile. "Thanks."
Temari said. "No problem."
Gaara and Sakura slowly let go of each other's embrace, whereas Naruto stepped in.
"Hey, bro. What's up?" The blonde-haired ninja made a hand shake with him.
"I'm doing fine. A lot of paperwork in the office," the red-haired Kazekage chuckled.
"Hm. Must be tough," the blonde-haired ninja nodded in agreement.
"Just wait until you became a Hokage," Lee added in with a joke and greeted the red-haired Kazekage with a hand shake as well. "Hey, Gaara."
"Hello, Naruto and Lee," he said smiling warmly at them.
"Come on, guys. Let's go over, eat and chat," Sakura said gladly as she gestured the guys to the dinner table.
END OF THE FIRST FLASHBACK
SECOND FLASHBACK:
The heated argument between the red-haired Kazekage and the pink-haired kunoichi was going on back and forth nonstop at the top of the Hokage tower after his conference meeting with Tsunade and the elders.
"So you're here to tell me that your plan with the leaf squad is to infiltrate Akatsuki's hidden base? Sakura, did you ever think for a second about what you're doing?!" Gaara raised his voice.
"I did. I'm sorry, but this is the only way to reduce the number of them," Sakura pointed out.
"And then what? Look, they will never stop until they multiply one by one. If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate them that easily. Think logically about this," Gaara said quietly, narrowing his eyes.
"Well, you're underestimating me... Aren't we here to sacrifice our lives for the people and to attain peace in the world?" Sakura asked desperately.
"Yes, but this plan of yours is not only the answer..." Gaara remarked.
The pink-haired kunoichi was stunned to hear him actually say it coming out of his mouth and said. "You requested for another recruit and yet, you're not satisfied with what we have in mind? Are we not good enough or are you just tired of living in someone else's shadow?"
"That is clearly not the point. You misunderstand me. The plan may work, but there has to be a more in-depth strategy and precision," the red-haired Kazekage explained.
"Then, we will demonstrate it once the leaf squad and I head into the battlefield," the pink-haired kunoichi pointed out.
"The answer is no..." Gaara said strictly, crossing his arms.
"Why not?!" The pink-haired kunoichi questioned in exasperation as the silence was filling in the area until she came to a realization and shook her head in disappointment at him. "I just can't believe you... You assume quickly that you don't want us to die."
The red-haired Kazekage stared at her and said. "There you have it."
Sakura laughed at him and scoffed as she looked away. "Whether you all like it or not, we are doing this in our way. You're nothing like Sasuke..."
"You're right. I'm not like him because you know why... You chose to love that criminal, who happens to end up choosing the wrong path in his life and almost killed you twice, Sakura... Twice..." Gaara stated darkly.
"He has his personal reasons-" the pink-haired kunoichi said but got interrupted.
"And those reasons are pure vengeance and hatred against you, Naruto, and the entire leaf village," the red-haired Kazekage pointed out and started to walk away from her. He stopped at the staircase and informed her. "Talk to me when you're in the right state."
From that moment on, he walked down and left her standing with her eyes glistening into tears of sorrow and anger. She smudged them off of her cheeks and closed her eyes to feel the breeze hit her face.
END OF THE SECOND FLASHBACK
THIRD FLASHBACK
Gaara hugged Katsumi lovingly and kissed the side of her cheek, making her giggle.
Everyone else was clapping and cheering for the engagement couple in the room.
"Congratulations to Gaara and Katsumi! We wish you all happiness and more blessings," Baki said and raised up his glass. "And for the toast!"
"Congrats!" They replied in unison and drank their glasses.
Kankuro and Temari looked blankly at Sakura, who was smiling and clapping at them.
Later on at the balcony, the pink-haired kunoichi was standing and leaning against the railing while she was watching the clouds drift away.
"Hey... You okay?" A familiar voice asked concernedly, which made her turn around to see the person.
"Lee..." Sakura blinked a few times. "I thought you're celebrating with them?"
"Nah. Celebrating is not my thing, especially when it's not the same with you," Lee said chuckling.
Sakura rolled her eyes and shook her head, saying. "Alrighty. You got me. But is something the matter?"
"I've asked you the same thing, but you have to answer me first," Lee pointed out.
The pink-haired kunoichi turned to look at the view of the village and citizens walking down the streets, working on business hours. She hummed and said. "To be honest with you, I've finally accepted what is happening. I mean, a girl who realizes something too late is such a bummer, you know."
Lee glanced at her and gazed suspiciously, saying. "Sakura... I know that you are faking a smile. But you do not have to hide your feelings all the time just for the sake of everybody else around here. You are so much more than what those guys you've been falling for are missing. However, I'm not like them. I've always noticed you from the moment I saw you back in the Ninja Academy."
Sakura looked at him in shock and asked. "Lee... What are you saying?"
"The truth is..." Lee paused for a moment to bring up all the courage he has left of him and spilled out slowly in shyness. "I really, really like you more than just a friend..."
The pink-haired kunoichi's eyes got startled and smiled at him wholeheartedly. Then, she hugged him in which he did the same. "Thank you, Lee for being honest."
The green leaf ninja let go of her and sighed with a frown. "Look, I know you are not into me because your heart belongs to someone else."
Sakura's eyes widened in astonishment and questioned. "Wha-? How do you know that?!"
"Because I see the way you look at him whenever you two are together, but all I can say is that you will find the right person at the right time."
"Lee..." the pink-haired kunoichi murmured pitifully at him. "I'm so sorry."
"It's alright. I'm moving on, anyways. I know I'll be single for the rest of my life. Anyway, I've figured out when you confessed to me at the bridge back in the leaf village. I know," Lee nodded and laughed.
"You're right and hey, don't say that. I'm sure there is a special girl waiting to be with you someday," Sakura said hopefully.
"Maybe. Let's find out, shall we?" Lee grinned and continued to chuckle amusingly until he started tickling her sides, making her laugh even louder.
END OF THE THIRD FLASHBACK
FINAL FLASHBACK
After the training in the third ground, Naruto and Sakura were resting on the grass hill and ate the ice cream popsicle on their hands during the hottest afternoon.
"I want you to have this..." the pink-haired kunoichi opened her pouch and gave him a small tiny gift box.
The blonde-haired ninja raised his eyebrow in peculiar after taking it, asking with a sheepish grin. "What's this about? Oh my gosh. Are you going to ask me to marry you?!"
The pink-haired kunoichi smacked him on the shoulder and gritted her teeth in annoyance. "Idiot!! Only men will propose to women."
Naruto burst out laughing and said. "Hahah! I was kidding! Chillax."
He then stared at the tiny box dumbfounded and scratched the side of his temple.
Sakura just rolled her eyes at him and said, chuckling at his reaction. "Just open it..."
Naruto looked at her, then towards the tiny box. He quickly untied the ribbon off of it and pulled out the lid. He gasped in awe and wonder, saying. "Wooww!! This is a necklace for me?"
Sakura nodded while she continued to gaze at him fondly. "Hmm. Because we don't see each other often. You are busy traveling on different missions while I'm caught up with my medical work at the hospital, so everywhere you go. That necklace will always remind you that I'm here for you and I'm never going away."
Naruto stared at her with a frown and sadly said. "But Sakura... It's not the same when we're both physically distant. I mean, our friendship is strong, but why do I always feel something else is missing? Like someone we know of...?"
The pink-haired kunoichi stared at him and smiled, saying. "I'll tell you what. We'll promise each other that we will meet again every three weeks. Does that sound better?"
The blonde-haired ninja placed his finger upon his chin and pretended to sniff dramatically. "That seems so far away... It will feel like forever."
Sakura nudged him again on the shoulder and giggled at his humor. "Hey! I'm being serious here."
"Okay, okay... Well, can it be less than three weeks? I was planning that we should all hang out more with the leaf squad," Naruto suggested and grinned.
"Of course..." Sakura gave him a curt nod.
The blonde-haired ninja lifted his pinky up and asked hopefully. "Promise?"
"Promise," the pink-haired kunoichi said joyfully in declaration and intertwined her pinky finger with his.
Both of them tightly held their hands together as they stared into each other's eyes admiringly and hugged one another.
END OF THE FINAL FLASHBACK
Her heart was beating at the lowest rate out of her chest and as soon as she closed her eyes, she took her last breath, saying. "Thank you for everything... Everyone."
On the spur of the moment, her hand was laid out, much to Katsumi's deep satisfying laughter.
"I won. This victory is all mine," she said grinning from ear to ear and slid the sword back inside the strap behind her back.
Naruto and the others felt someone tapping on their shoulders twice, causing them to sense fear and anxiety at the same time.
The blonde-haired ninja was turning his head around and narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "That's weird."
"Hmm..." Kurama hummed in response.
"What the hell was that?!" Kankuro asked in concern.
"Huh...? Strange..." Temari stuttered in startelement.
Abruptly, Gaara fluttered his eyes in stagger and glanced over behind him to see who it was. He stared at the empty space around them and did not know how to react. He thought there was someone, but nobody was there.
Until that time, the red ribbon bracelet that he was currently wearing had already fallen.
TO BE CONTUNUED...
