CHAPTER- 2: THE YOKAI'S RETURN

"Sakura...Sakura" the voice in the dark felt so distant yet so close.

"Whose voice is it...?" Sakura kept thinking. She couldn't realize who was calling her in the dark.

Suddenly the thick fog that clouded her memories vanished. She felt as if a heavy load was lifted. The darkness was gone in an instant revealing her porch, the porch decorated with little colourful flowering plants.
The Sakura tree in their garden looked so beautiful. Sakura thought she was dreaming when she saw her mother sitting in the porch, she looked so beautiful, so healthy, so alive.
Sakura rubbed her eyes in an attempt to erase the remnants of the dream. Yet she could still see her mother waving to her.
Without knowing she started walking until she was standing near her mother.

"Sit with me for a while darling" her mother whispered.
Sakura saw her own reflection in her mother's eyes, saw her younger self smiling. She felt as if she had become a child again. God only knows how much she still miss her childhood days, how much she still miss her mother.

"Sakura" her mother called breaking her chain of thoughts.
Sakura looked at her mother and smiled, and then she suddenly placed her head on her mother's lap and relaxed. Her mother started massaging her scalp, making her relaxed. Her mother started singing a song that was Sakura's favourite.
Slowly Sakura started feeling sleepy; she was on the verge of falling asleep when she heard a voice calling her name.

"Sa-Ku-Ra" the voice sounded malicious and predatory, she wanted to open her eyes and see who was calling her name, but she felt scared.
Sakura felt like, if she opens her eyes, the person who is haunting her will see her.

"Open your eyes SA-KU-RA" the voice sounded so close, so malicious, Sakura felt the hairs on the back of her neck rise. Sakura broke into a cold sweat. She felt someone too close, whoever that person was, and he was invading her personal space.
Suddenly she felt fingers touching her face, someone's cold yet nimble finger tip caressing her lips tenderly yet it gave her a feeling that it was not affection but a sinister feeling. She wanted to run, but all her thoughts abruptly came to a halt when she felt something cold against her own lips.

Sakura open her left eye slowly, and all she could see was total darkness and a shadow looming in front of her. Sakura tried pushing that shadow away but it was too strong for her. Its claws scratched Sakura's arms making her scream. Hearing her scream, the figure let a menacing laugh, showing its sharp razor like teeth. Sakura stopped struggling; soon it became hard to breath. Sakura started to squirm, she wanted to get free but the shadow had a vice like grip on her forearms.

"Mmmph, let me g-go" Sakura screamed.
"Stop your struggles Sakura, if you don't want anything worse to happen" that shadow hissed, listening to his threat Sakura became still.
Suddenly she felt another pairs of hands touching her legs and slowly more pairs of hands were roaming all around her body, moving deliberately like they want to remember every nook and cranny of her body. It was difficult to keep up with them, soon it felt too heavy to keep her eyes open, the atmosphere felt too dark and ominous. Sakura started drifting from consciousness to unconsciousness. She heard more voices, it was like they were arguing about who would have her first, it was nearly impossible to keep her eyes open but before she could lose her consciousness she saw 5 pairs of ominous red eyes.

"Noooo" Sakura woke up screaming, she looked around the room she was currently lying and saw it was her bedroom. The whole room was a mess, she saw her watch and saw that it was 7.30 pm.

"Ah, I was dreaming" Sakura assured herself, and then she got up and went to take a shower, nearly missing the red eyed crow that was sitting beside her window.

Sakura quickly took her shower and came to get dressed, while she was dressing she felt like someone was watching her but when she turned around she saw no one.

"I am still asleep, I guess" Sakura smiled "I am in the second floor, how can someone be outside my window" Sakura laughed a little while assuring herself that she was just being a little paranoid.

She quickly got dressed in her favourite pair of jeans and then ran towards the neighbouring house, as it was already time for the dinner she promised to Itachi Kun.

As Sakura opened the gate of the Uchiha mansion, she felt odd. The atmosphere surrounding the place was malicious and the whole place felt too haunted, she wanted to run back but she had promised him so she started walking to the door. The short walk, from the gate to the door was eerie and Sakura felt scared, suddenly a chill ran down her spine. Finally, she climbed the three steps and rang the door bell, the door bell gave an eerie sound and then someone opened the door. He was taller than Sakura and had long black hair.

"Welcome, Sakura Chan" he smirked, his face was gentle yet Sakura felt something wrong.
"Come inside, quickly" he pushed Sakura none too gently and closed the door in a hurry.
"Umm, I am Sakura Haruno, your neighbour" Sakura spoke and smiled.
"I know who you are Sakura Chan" his smirk slowly changed into a malicious grin.
"Ano, may I know where is Itachi San?" Sakura spoke while looking at the floor; she was beginning to feel uncomfortable around him.
"Ahh, how rude of me, I am Madara Uchiha and Itachi and the others are waiting for you in the dining room" Madara spoke while holding her hand.
"Now let's go" Madara told, while dragging her.

"Finally the game can start" Madara thought, "Now I can enjoy you to my heart's content" he licked his lips while devising a perfect plan to corner his prey, before anyone else can take her away.

Unknown to their plan, Sakura was falling right into their trap.
