Chapter 2

Unexpected Occurrence

It was morning, Sakura opened her eyes and winced slightly from the morning rays. Sitting up, she found herself in an unfamilliar bare room. As last night's events tumbled back to her, she rubbed her temple to sooth the headache that came hand in hand with it.

She felt like crying.

A murderer.

That's what she had become.

The blurry scene kept replaying itself in her head.

Looking at her hands, she realised the blood was still there. In fact, his blood was still all over her. Feeling sick, she dashed blindly out of the room to wash it off. Sakura didn't get far from the room as she bumped into something which grabbed her shoulders, holding her in place.

Fear.

Sakura screamed as she tried to break free.

"Sakura!"

Her head snapped up to the voice.

"K-Kakashi-sensei?" she ceased her struggles upon realising who it was. "I-I-em...G-good morning." she greeted as she forced a weak smile.

"Yo, was there something you needed?" his eye crinkled kindly as if nothing weird had happened.

"Y-yeh, I-c-can I use your bathroom?" she asked biting her lip.

"Sure, it's just over there." he gestured to the left of him while his other hand held up some clothing in front of his ex-student. "Here's some clothes to change into."

Sakura mutely took the clothes and went to the bathroom.

"Sensei?"

"Hm?"

"Thank you." she smiled, this time, genuinely in gratitude before closing the door.

That morning, Ichikaru lacked the daily noise of a ramen obsessed blonde and a brooding avenger. The two were currently a distance away from Ichikaru, heading towards their former teacher, now colleague's home. Unusually silent, they kept in pace with each other.

"Hey, Sasuke, do you think Sakura actually did it?" Naruto asked hesitantly, breaking their silence.

"Hn."

The two jounins were summoned to the Hokage's office earlier. Both had expected some kind of sudden A-ranked mission together, but only to discover a shocking revelation of their pink haired teammate and received a mission to coax their teammate's side of story out of her.

Naruto had a mixed feeling about this, but over all, he was just really worried about 'his' Sakura-chan. Glancing out of the corner of his eyes, Naruto could see a slight change in his rival although he looked as passive as he normally do.

'It's like as if things just seemed to darken a bit more around him'

Shaking his head, Naruto got rid of this thought.

'Nah, just probably my imagination. Must be the lack of ramen.'

As if on cue, his stomach rumbled.

'I hope Kakashi-sensei has instant ramen.'

Meanwhile, Kakashi had just finished cleaning. The guest room was as bare as his own room, the window was left opened to allow fresh air gracing the stuffy room. As he eyed the room, his eye crinkled proundly at his own work. The only thing left to do was gather most of his ex-students belonging from her house and move it into this room.

As he stretched lazily in a cat like manner, the door bell rang.

Knowing who were at the door, Kakashi, with deliberate slowness, made his way to it while the doorbell rang repeatedly in an annoying way.

"Yo!" he greeted the rest of his former students and let them in.

"Kakashi-sensei, do you have any ramen?" Naruto gazed at him hopefully as his stomach rumbled loudly emphasizing his hunger.

"Kitchen, the upper left cupboard."

"YES!" pumping his fist into the air, he quickly made his way to the kitchen. "Do you want some too, teme!"

"Aa."

"Right, since you guys are here, I'm going to go and get Sakura's belonging. I shouldn't be long." at the mention of her name, Sasuke snapped his full attention to Kakashi.

"Where's Sakura?" the sole Uchiha survivor enquired as he leaned againt a wall.

"Hm? She's in the shower." without another word Kakashi left his appartment.

"Hn." his onyx eyes darkened a shade as his former teacher left.

In the shower, Sakura desperately scrubbed the blood off her skin and hair.

'Gods, what have I done?'

'What the hell are you talking about! That bastard deserved it!'

'But Himiko didnt deserve it!'

'Damn right she didn't deserved it! She deserved much better than that bastard! You did her and us a favor!'

'Me! What about you! YOU'RE the one who helped me!'

'HELL NO! It was all you. I only agreed with you!'

Her skin turned angry red as she kept scrubbing.

'What! But you told me to close my eyes and let my body go! And I did! Then everything were like-like-

Sakura shivered as she remember the feeling of satisfaction and-and- something else she couldn't put a name to.

'No, I didn't!'

'What? Are you telling me there's another one of you in my head?' Sakura snorted at her innerself.

'I don't know- wait!'

'Huh? What?'

'Ehh?...Errr...n-nothing!'

'You were going to say something, what is it?'

'Em...Hey! Get out of the shower, our skin is pruning!'

Looking at her hands, Sakura realized that the skin on her fingers were indeed scrunching up. She turned off the shower and got out, drying herself with a towel. Then realization hit her.

'Wait! You changed the subject!'

No reply came back to her.

'Are you ignoring me! Hey!'

Sakura muttered and cursed under her breath. Letting the matter go for now, Sakura examined 'her' clothes. They were an over sized, long sleeved navy turtle neck and a pair of black shorts. Giggling slightly, she attempted to imagine Kakashi wearing the shorts.

Shaking her head, she got rid of the thought and tried the clothes on. The turtle neck hung ridiculously baggily down to her mid-thighs and the shorts had just refused to stay up. In the end, after all the attempts of holding the shorts in place, Sakura settled with the turtle neck and her own black shorts which was blood-free thanks to her white 'skirt', and the fact that it was really her top that was covered in blood.

Looking at the mirror, she flinched.

'Was I that intimidating?'

She thought, vaguely remembering the way how her father had looked before he was silenced forever.

But something puzzeled her.

His words.

Snippets of them.

"I told him, sooner or later...He didn't listen...You're turning out just like her." Saitou spat.

Fragments of them rang clear in her head even though the scene was blurry.

Snapping out of her reverie, her stomach drummed as she could smell the scent of miso ramen.

Getting out of the bathroom, she headed to the living room.

"Kakashi-sen-" Sakura froze in mid sentence as she spotted a certain raven haired teammate in the room. "Sasuke-kun?"

At the sound of Sakura's voice, Sasuke looked up. Onyx eyes regarded emerald eyes for a second before closing. Taking small hesitant steps, Sakura began to word towards him.

"Sasuke-kun, why ar-"

In a flash, Sakura was cut off as she was slammed to the wall and pinned there by the neck. Squeezing her eyes shut, she whimpered as pain shot up her backand spread thoughout her body. Sakura winced and pried the hand round her neck.

"What are you doing Sasu-"

Words died in her throat as she found herself gazing right into his eyes.

Swirling blood red eyes.

AN: Sorry about this chapter I planned to write longer but somehow it gotten short and ...the next chapter will be longer (Hopefully) and will NOT take years to update :P You may also notice this chapter and the prologue(up 'til before the fifteen years later part) is different from chapter 2 (or you may not). Hopefully this difference is a good thing. Anyway, we're digressing, do you prefer my previous style or this one?More detailed in description or just almost straight to the point?
