Chapter 20: Without her heart

She jumped over the huge wall onto the next side. Behind her was the flaming bodies of what remained of their 'leader's' servants. She laughed as she remembered how they begged her not to kill them but she did it anyway not caring what she had just done. She made her way to his quarters. Climbing through the window and landing softly on the ground. He was waiting for her. When she entered the room, he smirked. It spread across his face and his eyes glimmered. He was ready to see what this dark cherry blossom had in store for him. Sakura walked up to him, a smile played on her lips.

"I want revenge," she said, her voice dripping with malice, "I want revenge for what you did to my father!"

"Then come and get it Sakura-chan," he told her. He called her towards him. His long white finger moving coaxing her to come at him. Her blood boiled as her eyes glowed it vicious golden color. She ran at him full speed her fist ready to slam into his helpless body and her ears waiting to hear the cracking of his bones instead; she made contact with the wall. A huge crater appeared and the wall started to fall to its watery grave. She turned quickly, and saw that he was behind her.

"How?" she asked.

"I got what I needed," he replied.

Her eyes widen as she saw a pile of bodies hidden in corner. She couldn't speak. The tears were ready to fall as she realized who it was. All hope was lost now. He had his power back and that meant that the whole human worlds as well as the vampires' were in danger. Her anger built up again as she started to see how he fed on them. His sharp fangs sinking into their necks and drinking every last drop of their blood. Her fists tightened as she glared at him.

"Monster!" she said.

"Indeed I am," he admitted.

"Orochimaru, you bloody monster!" Sakura screamed as she ran at him, "Burn in hell!"

Snakes slipped out of his sleeves and tighten themselves around Sakura's waist holding her in place. Her eyes darken and with her inhuman strength, she ripped herself out of their grasp. He laughed at her seeing her fight was amusing to him.

"Come, come Sakura-chan let's not fight," he said.

She didn't answer as she disappeared out of his sight for a few seconds, reappearing in front of him slamming him through a wall. He was sent outside and she followed. She landed on her feet and looks on as he got up. He smirked again and she wanted him to stop. He summoned more snakes from all around. They tightly held her body waiting to shatter it when the order was given. She gave up at that moment as the pressure from the snakes tightened around her body. The bones cracking weren't his but hers. She just hung limp in the snake's grasp. Her eyes changed back. She was welcoming death now. They closed slowly when a voice or voices rang out.

"Sakura!"

Orochimaru turned around to see the girls along with Kakashi and his group. They were all shock to see the cherry blossom at the mercy of their 'leader.' The girls all prepared themselves to kill off Orochimaru when their teacher's stopped them. The look that gave them made it clear that all they were doing was getting back Sakura and as for their 'leader' it was to be left to them. The four teachers reveled their fangs and claws and when to battle. The girls raced off towards Sakura's limp body in the hands of the snake.

Sakura was still alive that was for sure. She could hear the voices in the real world calling out to her. She opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar place. Another voice called out to her and this time she knew who it was.

'You're the inner me," she said.

"No," the voice replied.

"Yes you are," Sakura stated her voice was very annoyed.

"No, I'm someone more important," the voice replied.

"Which is?" Sakura asked.

A bright light shone in her eyes causing her to close them and a person appeared in front of her.

"Open your eyes child," the voice said.

Sakura opened her eyes as the tears spilled out. "Daddy," she said.

Indeed, in front of Sakura was a sliver haired man with black coal eyes looking at her. She knew what her father looked like from her visions and could see that he was still unable to heal his body. The open wounds stared her in her face and although no blood spilled out, the memory of it and how it got there was very clear to Sakura.

"Where am I?" Sakura asked.

"Your heart," Dan replied.

"My heart," Sakura said looking around, "But it's empty,"

"Indeed you have forgotten how to feel Sakura," Dan told her.

'I don't understand," Sakura said.

"He's not dead yet,' Dan told her.

"But..." Sakura said.

"You have the power to heal him Sakura as well as the others put it to good use," Dan said.

"I don't know how," Sakura told him, "All I feel right now is emptiest."

"Sakura let me help you," Dan said, "Let me help you wake up."

The light once again blinded Sakura as she forced her eyes open. The pain ran through her again. She heard the girls' cries to her as they tried to free her.

"Enough of this!" Sakura said as her claws sink into the snake. It grasp weaken and Sakura clawed her way out of him. Her fist landed on the ground and the cracks headed towards Orochimaru. The teachers jumped out of the way as did he. Sakura joined the girls who knew that now wasn't time to celebrate. The curse mark slowly faded away from her shoulder and the burning pain ended, she was awake. Now was the time for all this to end.
