Chapter 2: Sakura
A pink haired girl lay in her bed sleeping restlessly as a sudden feeling of dread washes over her in Konoha, the Village hidden in the Leaves. Her eyes quickly shot open while sitting up as fast as possible, panting heavily as cool beads of sweat starts rolling down her face as she recalled her nightmare. In her nightmare someone was screaming for her them to help them and Sakura being the nice person she is was already on the move. While the person was screaming more and more details started to appear. For one, the person that was screaming ws clearly a woman and two, the woman's voice sounded fairly recognizable meaning that it was someone dear to her. She sighs running a hand through her soft, now damp pink lock and looks at her clock.
'2:26 am.. I don't see me going back to bed anytime soon so I might as well get up and drink something that will knock me out quick.' the pinkette sighed climbing out of bed going into the kitchen and started fixing herself some tea. While waiting for the tea she began to wonder what that strange feeling was that abruptly awoken her from her slumber
'I wonder what that was all about, I don't get like this unless I know 100% sure what's wrong but the bigger question is who was screaming for me? I know I heard that voice before but who?' she was soon brought out of her thoughts when her tea kettle started whistling letting her know that it's ready. She sighed running her hands through her hair once more before pouring herself a mug before going in her living room drinking it. "I'll figure it out later, then there should be some indication of the person who needs me." she grumbles out and no sooner after she said that, a scroll poofed in front of her giving the young kunoichi quite a shock.
"Who in the hell is sending me scrolls at 3 in the fucking morning?!" she growled out until she took a closer look at the scroll. "Hey wait a minute.. this is the same exact scroll I gave to Shirayuki... the one that I told her to use to contact me if something were to happen to her" she trailed off and quickly opened the scroll and scanned over the contents of it. The more she read it the more angrier and surprised she grew as the realization suddenly hit her. Shirayuki was in trouble and she needed her help and bad. After she finished reading the scroll, she promptly set it ablaze on her stove to make sure that no one would follow her as soon as she left. While thinking on the subject of leaving, she quickly scribbled a note to her team telling them that she be on a solo mission for the next few days and to not worry about her.
'Shirayuki said its best not to get them involved with this mess so I'll have to take her word for it. Plus I know how them two are when it comes to me leaving to go on a potentially dangerous mission without them.. they wouldn't either let me go alone or even let me go at all.' she chuckled to herself while going into the kitchen and cleaned up her mess before going upstairs to pack some of her medical supplies and various other stuff for the journey to Tanbarun. As soon as she made a mental checklist to make sure everything was there she proceeded out towards the door, locking it behind knew this was not the last time she would see her home but still at the thought of her leaving for a while still scared her and makes her homesick
'Come on Sakura, pull yourself together! This is your family you're talking about here! We can't ignore her!' she said as she gave herself a pep talk
'Yah! We can't let her down so let's go!' Inner Sakura roared
'Its time.. we gotta save Shirayuki! bott Inner Sakura and Outer both yelled in their mind turning Outer Sakura's worried look into one of pure determination as she sprinted out the gates of Konoha. 'I'll be back you guys..just you wait!' she thought her whole body overflowing with confidence. What she didn't notice was a pair of red eyes watching her every moves from the moment she walked out the door.
'Just what the hell are you doing Sakura..?' he said while deactivating his sharingan fading into the darkness
