Heart's Sanctuary
Part 1
Drive
Would you choose water over wine?
And she chose wine…
Hold the wheel and drive
But she didn't want to drive her own life.
Why does it feel so hot and cold at the same time?
She felt her skin was burning. She felt like she was being cooked inside an oven, eating her up slowly until she suffocates. Her breathing was faster, deeper, hotter and harder. It felt like her chest was being crushed by a heavy boulder, making it harder for her to move and breath at the same time. Sweat dripped down from her body like water. She was shivering and trembling despite the hot atmosphere.
Her body never obeyed what her mind ordered and shots of pain continued to pound her head like a hammer. This was torture for her.
She continued running through the woods barefooted.
Fear had already eaten her mind. She had nowhere to escape. Nowhere to go to. She no longer cared if her dress was soaked, if she was filthy, if she was already becoming tired from the long run she had made. The only thing that was occupying her mind was to escape. To run away and survive.
But despite that fear, her eyes were full with tears.
How could she have gotten so weak? So pathetic.
But she didn't want to be like them. No. not like the people who only cared about themselves. She hated them. Despised them. She won't become like those people.
But here she was running under the thundering rain just to save herself.
She panted and stopped to shelter under the shade of a tree. She fell on her knees and continued her sobbing, wiping and rubbing her reddish eyes with the back of her hand.
It took her a long time no register what had happened.
But what happened was all a blur.
All just a memory.
A faded memory.
Why do I have to suffer?
"Remember, you have nothing to do but kill.
For me."
She smiled at those spoken words.
They were tough and demanding yet she could not help herself from smiling.
"You obey only me.
Serve only me.
Please only me.
You live because of me."
Yes…
"You're mine.
No one can have you.
I'm the only person whom you'll follow.
And nobody else."
How happy she was when she heard those words.
She made her mind up long ago.
She will protect him.
Live for him.
And die for him.
"Mine…"
Something inside of her stung painfully. Feeling her insides was about to be taken out, she tried to scream as hard as she can. But no noise was heard.
Her mind was in a daze, swirling furiously making her want to die.
But no.
She won't die.
She wouldn't die.
If she had to die, let it be in the hands of the Uchiha Prodigy.
At first, she searched for her purpose. And it was there all along.
Her purpose was to live for him. Her sole wish was to get stronger and protect him though she knows that he's much stronger than anybody else she knows.
With him, she always felt comfortable. But he was an s-class criminal, a missing nin, an Akatsuki member, a feared Uchiha. But she felt strange whenever by his side.
And with those thoughts hanging to the edge of her mind, the last of her pain subsided. She breathed easier, the heavy weight on top of her chest disappeared and everything was back to normal.
She felt so free.
Her mind awakened by something she could not recognize. But she was sure hell lot of a noise to wake her up. This time, she felt better though still limp.
She realized her back was aching and that it was arched.
Arched?
Lifting her heavy eyelids, she looked up at the person whom she assumed was carrying her.
She smiled.
She always smiled, even in the darkest of her days, she always smiled. For him.
Gaining control of her whole body, she parted her lips.
How she felt so comfortable.
"Itachi-sama…." Then she went back to sleep.
In reply, his grip on her tightened.
How she felt so protected.
OOPS! Sorry! I deleted the other chapter! But I now feel much more contented with this one. Especially now I'm playing the music that inspired me to this story, "Drive".
So I hoped you enjoy the second one.
The third will take a little much longer, though. Sorry. I hated my first ideas on how Sakura might end up in Konoha. Too cheap. So I have to look for new ideas. Maybe SasuSaku hints will show but this will definitely end up in ItaSaku. That's what I'm real sure of. And I also needed to change my ideas because Itachi doesn't show up much and he doesn't speak that much too. I really need him to be a little soft on Sakura so…
Oh, and, the last chapter was a PROLOGUE sorry for the mistake.
Very special thanks to all my reviewers
