Beep! Beep! Beep!

'Huh...?? What's that... Where am I...?? I feel sleepy... I feel cold...sleeep..py..'

The lone figures on the bed had not been stirred as sleeps was overpowering. The atmosphere was serene and there were breezes blown into the room through the gaps of the curtains with the windows was opened, the sound of monitors steadily beeping indicated the stable pulse of a patient. A moped of pink head supported with bandages including her arms.

"Do you think when she'll wake up Tsunade-sama? She had been in comatose for five months.." a dark haired woman asked her companion. "We still not sure Shizune.. this kid managed to survive such a tremendous accident.. only both of her parents couldn't. Although I'm far from a believer still such a miracle can happen. This kid survived a wreck that should killed her." A busty blond haired woman answered the woman named Shizune.

Tsunade Senju was a renowned doctor who had managed to solve any complex medical complications that none others could. She was a mystery herself when treating patients. Someone who had unusual illness cases which deemed confidential and she never discloses anything to her other staffs as she personally handled it by herself. No one questioned her methods as she never requested any helps from her other co-workers except for Shizune, her trusted apprentice.

But then her younger brother, Nawaki fell ill, the illness was cannot be cured thus Tsunade failed to save her brother. This caused Tsunade to suddenly went missing. She stepped down as a professional doctor at Tokyo famous hospital and worked as a common doctor at unknown region. No one knew the exact location where she's works and lived now.

The pink haired girl that she'd saved was a mystery herself. From what Tsunade heard was that the accident occured at the highway hill. The car was pushed into the ravine when incoming truck from behind them loses control over the vehicle and crashed onto them. When police and the rescue team arrived at the crashes site, the truck was still on the road uphill while the other vehicle was demolished at the downhill of the road. No one expecting any survivors until they noticed a young girl trapped in the wreckage. The car itself was torn at the front and there were two bodies that too gruesome to describe the damages.

'This girl...this poor girl. She's a miracle. The good spirits protect her. If not because of Katsuyu's energy that cleanses her inside blight and the spirits that protects her, she will never had been survived. Someone who had the ability to purify the darkness in spirits. She's strong...'

'Where am I... What is this place... What happened?'

In the midst of the void, Sakura was lying down in the middle of large spaces, gazing up to the starry skies. She felt like she was floating, the sense of peace enveloped her as she welcomes death.

Sakura dear.. Little Sakura...

'That voice... someone calling.. Is it grandma..?'

She stood up and looked around for the voices. Nothing. All she saw was just the fog covered the area. Sakura started to walk forwards aimlessly, as she walked until she reached a dark water surfaces. The water was deadly calm, not a ripples or flows indicated the water courses. Just stills.

Little Sakura-chan.. here..

'Grandma!!' Sakura turned around again, this time she heard loud and clear. She searched around frantically, she was scared and alone. Those starry sky turned to voids. Everything around her seems empty. She collapsed both on her knees as she wept. 'Please.. Don't leave me alone..'

Little Sakura, lift up your head dear..

Sakura looked up and saw her Grandma at the riverbank under a cherry blossom tree in a full bloom. Then she saw both of her parents standing there besides her grandma, smiling gently at her.

"Whaa.. what happened to us? Grandma you're not dead?" Sakura sauntered to her family, tears gathered at her eyes. "You guys... I miss all of you.. Why'd do you all leave me behind?". As soon as she reached them, Sakura embraced her family with all her might. "Is this a dream?" she asked them.

"Yes, child. This is a dream. Your dream.." Sakura's mother answered gently to her only child. Every time when she was away because of her workloads, she had to leave her daughter behind. Her heart ached and burdened with guilt, both of them. Both of her and her husband truly loved their daughter and they knew since the beginning she will be special.

"Then Mama! How can I make you stay? I want to follow you guys too a..and be together. Please Papa.. Grandma.. take me with you. " Sakura pleaded as she cannot accept the reality that all of this was a dream. Her dream.

All of them looked sadly at Sakura crying face, then Grandma Chihiro put her hand at Sakura's head and patted her grandchild fondly.

"Little Sakura, our time together cannot be spent in the light path where the living lives on. But remember child, only love can intertwine us together with the bond we had with each other. We always loves you. We lives by the memories you cherish in your heart."

The cherry blossom tree was glowing and the withered petals began to falling beautifully. Grandma Chihiro hand on Sakura's head dispersed into petals slowly with glowing light. Same things happened with both of her parents.

The sun arise from the east, the tall torii gate at the wide water surfaces came into view. Sakura watched as both of her parents smiling gently and slowly dispersed into petals followed by her grandma. "We always loves you Sakura. Lives on..."

The withered petals dancing above in the distant sky but know their way home...

0o0o0o

The gentle breezes flew into the room bringing petals of cherry blossom. One petal caressed Sakura's cheek as she starting to open her eyes. Her eyes immediately shut as she was struggling with the white blinding light that hurts her eyes. Beep! Beep! Beep! The sound of monitors beeping steadily alerted her of the surroundings. 'Ugh!!' Her head aches like crazy as if she was hit by a boulder.

Slowly she tried to force opened her eyes, her vision was hazy at first, everything was blurred. Then her vision became focused, she scanned around the room. The wall was creamy in color, there was a window at the left side of her parallel direction to the room door. The monitors beside her continuously beeping.

She gazed at the cherry blossom petals at her hands, she remembered her dream. She tried to sit up but the pain hindering her to do so. The room door suddenly opened and came two unknown women talking with each other.

"Her physical conditions is stable and progressing greatly. Also the results shown there's no problem with her brain or something. Sh.." the blonde lady then looked up to see her already awake. "Oh my.. You've conscious." Shizune approached Sakura to check her monitors data for pulse and blood pressure.

"I've see you awake. Let's do some round check up before we proceed. This is to make sure your conditions not worsened after you are awake." Tsunade took out her stethoscope and checked on Sakura's chest to hear her heart beat. Then she proceeded to check Sakura's pupils for any sign of impulse reactions. Overall her conditions was normal.

"Okay. Everything seems normal. So.. May I ask you some questions? This is merely for information gathering as we speak but we try to manage for getting sufficient data to manage your wellbeing. Shall we start? But first my name is Tsunade Senju and that is Shizune." Tsunade asked as she looked fixedly at Sakura.

Sakura nodded her head timidly indicated that she was listening to the request.

"Is your name Sakura Haruno?" first question. Sakura nodded her head showing them that it was a yes. "Okay, next. Do you remember what had happened to you before this?", Sakura's nodded her head again this time. "Can you tell us?" Tsunade prodded. "Ii..I've ss..saw the truck heading towards us very fast. I saw it in the rear mirror. Pp..papa tried to avoid it but we were pushed a..and e..ev..everything went..t to fast.. ii..I co..uld n..t.. PAPA!! MAMA!!" Sakura's could not held it anymore as she's broke down in front of the two doctors.

Shizune rushed to her side and embraced the broken girl, never to let go. Her heart stricken when she saw Sakura's pained expression when recalling the tragedy that had happened to her and her family. Tsunade just gazed sadly at the poor girl as she sympathizes with the girl predicament. But she still needed to tell Sakura that she had been in comatose for months.

"Sakura. Sakura! Listen to me. What had happened is now passed. You need to hold yourself together and be strong. I know the things that occurred is still fresh and new. It's still hurts but knowing that it wouldn't do you any good to your physical and mental states. Your deceased family would not be happy either. They would not be at peace." Sakura just sat there crying as she listened to Dr. Tsunade.

"You are special, kid. You just need to look forward. Here I thought you might need this.." Tsunade gave Sakura's grandma protection charm to its owner. Grandma's protection charm!!" Sakura gasped, she wiped her tears away and took the bracelet from Dr. Tsunade's hand. "Thank you! Thank you!"

"Kid. Your surname is Haruno was it? There were this people came to visit you before during the second months of your comatose state. From what they've been said, the clan will be providing you from now on and of course after you are conscious. You will be put under their care until you're turn into an adult. But I want to make sure if you are familiar with them? Take this as a precaution measures." The new information seems to baffled Sakura as she listened to Dr. Tsunade questions. From what've she had known was the Haruno surname came from her grandmother as Sakura's mother choose for her to take her grandma's surname and not her father's, Takeo. They've said that it was more suitable for the namesake in sakura blossom.

"Ano.. I didn't know that Haruno's is a clan. My late grandmother never said anything about her family being a clan. She never mentioned anything except for she came from a another village far away. I don't know where that is but nothing ever said regarding her previous family.."'Grandma... what is this all about?'At the same time she pondered the secrets that her grandma kept from her acknowledgment.

'Knock! Knock!'

Then the door was knocked and opened by someone. "Tsunade-sama, you've been summoned to attend meeting right now. The Council had came to discuss about the matter regarding Haruno cases."

"Kuso! Right now?! That old coots always never been patient weren't they. Shizune. Bring all the reports and documents from my office right now. I'll be waiting at the meeting room." Tsunade ordered Shizune to retrieve the files in her office. "Hai. Tsunade-sama."

Before she's heading out, she looked back at Sakura again. "You'll just rest. It's been a while since you're conscious to the world. If anything happens, press the button to notify the nurse. I'll be going now. Oh.. and Sakura do not fear. Your room are protected by the divine barriers. Rest assure." Tsunade smirked as she watched Sakura's face contorted into confusion.

At first, she didn't understood what was Dr. Tsunade mentioned but after a while she realized that Dr. Tsunade knew about the unseen or spirits. She couldn't believe it, there was someone who is same as her, that alone shocked her. 'They knew! They knew all along! What is this place? I wonder if they can cure this curse of mine.'

Sakura laid back down on the mattress, she gaze off outside the window watching cherry blossoms trees. It's spring right now. She remembered the day she had been leaving for the town with both of her parents. They had fetched her from aunt's house. It was late autumn at that time, they had planned to celebrate Christmas together at Tokyo as a whole family for the first time since Sakura's was four. It's been too long for them.

Sakura's mother, she had beautiful green eyes and short but soft wavy honey blonde hair. She was pretty with ivory skins that Sakura inherited. Even for a short amount of times, Sakura could see that her mother was fierce but a gentle person at the same time. No wonder her papa fell in love. Her father was a good looking man with crimson hair and warm smile. Everything about them seems like a match from the heaven.

Although, her parents rarely visited her when grandma was still alive at that time because they were frequently outstation and cannot be there during Christmas or her birthday. They would just sent postcards and presents for her. Grandma always told her that her parents love her with all of their hearts. They were both trying their best. She should too, be a good girl.

'Sakura-chi, what do you want for your Christmas this year? Your mother and I will get anything you've wanted.. Did you know I've learned how to bake a cake with a french patisserie when your mother and I went to Paris. Hurmm what a handsome man.. Not that because I was jealous of course. I'm more good looking by the way. Eto..'.

'Dear.. you start to rambling. I'm sure our daughter doesn't care about that. Right Sakura?'

'Hey! I didn't mean it that way. I want to share those things with my daughter. Perhaps you're the one who is jealous, huh Nariko?

'Whaa.. what?!'

'Papa, did you realized that you implied mama was jealous of another man that attracts your attention? Hmm? Sounds suspicious ne..'

'Huh? Huh?!! Nn..no! I didn't mean it like that Sakura-chi. Aaa.ano.. Alright alright! I'm sorry okay. Sorry love I didn't meant it that way. I love only you Nariko!'

Both of her and her mother laughed at their only man in the family. Everything's was wonderful and family are together again. She felt blessed at that time. Loved by all of her precious peoples.

Sakura dozed off while thinking bout her family. A fond memory but at the same time it wound her as she thought they had gone forever, physically. She would always cherish them in her heart. Sleep overtaken her as she dream of mother's green eyes and her father warm smiles.

Honestly, I didn't expect it turned out this way. Pardon the grammatical errors. But the ideas came like a gushing waterfall. Ahahaha. Well, my internet connection are bad right now because everytime I tried to save the draft. It wouldn't save and I had to rewrite it again and the story changes frequently. I will try my best for the next chap.
