Sakura's eyes widened at the sight in front of her. Never in her life had she seem anything quite so beautiful...she felt like as if she was caught in a medieval fantasy. Right now, she felt like a princess when she walked through the high silk curtained doors.
When she entered, she instantly spotted two staircases with the hardwood rails that led down to the dance floor. Sakura couldn't help but notice that they looked really great for sliding.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement. All thoughts of Sasuke escaped her mind. She was here to have fun, and she was definably going to enjoy herself tonight. Sakura raised her chin and walked elegantly down the long winding staircase.
All eyes were fixed on Sakura. It had been awhile since anyone in the village had seen hair or hide of her. Then again, it could be because she looked gorgeous and stunning.
Sakura smirked when she spied Naruto and Hinata dancing exuberantly below. They were seriously such a cute couple. She knew that Hinata had discovered her soul mate, the one person that would stand by her side throughout her life.
It was truly disappointing that she hadn't discovered the man of her dreams. When she was young she'd been obsessed with illusions of love. But now, she knew better. Years of training had hardened her resolve and squashed all her childhood fantasies.
She knew that it was dangerous to love someone. To wear your heart in your sleeve for everyone to see. Sakura frowned slightly. She'd learned that emotions were for the weak, that it would be safer to keep your distance for everyone. Or else you might get hurt...
By the time Sakura finally reached the bottom of the stairs, there was a group of young men waiting to ask her to dance. She sent each of them a cool and sharp smile, which scared away most of them.
Sakura mouth twisted into one of pure amusement. She had a habit of scaring off suitors, even when she had been young. They'd call her the ice princess. Well wasn't that what she was now? She stared down at her silvery outfit. Her face was one carved from ice, beautiful yet cold. Ever since she'd made her first kill, she'd given up her warm and caring facade.
She'd changed so much over the years. Only her close friends could see a hint of the girl she'd once been...and the innocent and carefree life she'd once lived.
Sakura made her way towards the reception table to greet the hosts. "Hello Kakashi-san," she said cheerfully, before she noticed the Hokage standing next to him. "Hello Hokage-san," she muttered politely. For some reason she felt like she had to get away from him...she was afraid that he was going to pester her about why she hadn't done anything about Sasuke.
And she didn't want to think about it...Sasuke wasn't here....and she'd be pissed beyond reason if she was asked to leave the ball for some stupid mission after her childhood friend.
"Excuse me, but I need some fresh air," she murmured softly before turning tail and walked slowly and deliberately towards the gardens. Before she left she saw Kakashi's nervous, yet tense look, as if he knew something she didn't. Something that he wanted to tell her, but was afraid to say in front of the Hokage.
She needed some time alone...some time to get her thoughts together. Sakura almost sighed with relief when she felt the cool night air against her skin. It seemed like the world was against her...like as if she was standing alone above a bottomless chasm...
Sakura looked around taking in her surroundings. It's colorful flowers littered the gardens covering ever inch. There was a Japanese stone bench that stood facing a gigantic stone waterfall...and if viewed at the right time, the sun would rise behind it, just like a beautiful painting.
It was beautiful...truly beautiful...
Sakura sat down and stared in awe at the waterfall. It was so majestic...so frightening. The rocks that littered the bottom of the falls were sharp and deadly. If one accidentally fell off...
She winced. It would kill and mangle their bodies beyond belief. Sakura hoped deafly that Konoha had taken extra precautions to make sure no one might get hurt.
"There's a thin line between something that's dangerous and something that's beautiful, isn't there?" whispered a husky voice behind her. Sakura gasped in shock and turned around.
She'd been too caught up in her thoughts to hear the sound of footsteps behind her. Sakura mentally scowled herself. She was too old to be making such stupid mistakes. If this had been a life or death situation, she'd have already died.
Sakura's eyes widened when she saw the masked man. His darkly hair reflected some of the moonlight, while his lips were curled in a sadistic yet gentle smile. His body was muscular and moved with a feline grace. Nerveless he was one of the most handsome men she'd ever met.
But...what caught her attention was his eyes. Those dark onyx orbs remind her of something...of someone. Those eyes that caressed her with disturbing warmth and anger. She'd seen those eyes somewhere before...but where?
Trying to buy herself some time, she asked, "Who are you?"
The man chucked softly, which caused Sakura to flinch. It sounded like the devil laughing. "You don't remember me?" he whispered moving closer, until they were inches apart.
He shook his finger at her and muttered, "Well that's a shame...but I know who you are...Sakura..."
