In the depth of an unrecognizable realm, where brutes of the dark were at home and demons were apparently low-lives, a god lies within his domain. The god was at the peak of boredom and profound pride. Eyes were as red as the rivers of hell and skin as pale as a lifeless vessel, by which were inked that bear a resemblance of the great Totem. It was on his right shoulder and looked as if it was slowly creeping and slithering down his impeccably toned limb, with a meaning that lies within its reach.
The great and righteous Totem was the providence of a ratchet being that was the literal reflection of a type of wyvern. Totem was said to be the first being on earth to be created by the gods, but it was a prideful creature. Far from the likes of humans by which they had less dignity than an atrocious bore in the woods. Legend states that Totem was the one responsible for the creation of human beings in the first place. Of course, at first the Gods were quite impressed by the unexpected move made by Totem. As humans bred and bred, hate and greed was born, which made the Gods angry, including the ink-beholder and death god, Sasuke Uchiha.
No one actually knows the whole tale and whether or not it was even authentic. But one thing's for sure, Gods are cruel and merciless especially when taunted or exacerbated. No one knew for certain. No one except the Gods, no one except Sasuke.
A few millenniums later, here he was, in his private hall for sentencing the simpleton evildoers they were, to various bloodcurdling punishments that were inevitable to them. You could see ghastly expressions from each malignant spirit, though the death deity didn't seem to even wince, he looked expressionless, as if he didn't have any ardor and fervor.
"G-grr-reat aa-annn-nnd meee-rcifuuul l-lord, I...I b-beg of y-you... Please! Pl-please! Don't send us to Zen!" a troll with rotting teeth and bleeding hands that were cuffed with some kind of cursed black-powder yelped with fearful and remorseful gaze. The said powder sorcery made sure the troll didn't get away from his wrong actions along with another two of his buddies, both were also trolls. One uglier than the other.
Sasuke looked somewhat bored and used to it, he didn't even bulge towards the trolls' pleas. They were now on their feet, begging for mercy. 'Anything but Zen' were written clearly on the trolls' wretched damp faces, probably from crying like a newborn baby searching for its mommy.
The deity then took a sit on something that looked like a cathedra, a throne of some sort but it was obviously planted with some kind of dark witchery, it was moving as if it wanted to bow down to the deity as he sat upon it oh-so honorably. He kept his inked-right hand rested on the sides of the fit-for-a-God gold embodied single throne and his left arm covering his mouth tenaciously as if he was hiding a devilish-like smirk implanted on his face.
"I am not one to give second chances. You incompetent and useless trolls." The trolls went pale, terrified of the God. "You are to be sent to the pit less Zen so that you can suffer from your countless ways of being the pathetic old trolls that dare to defy me. Even humans aren't as dense as the three of you are. You trolls are nothing but a nuisance." Sasuke immediately gestured a few beastly Underworld guards to have the trolls out of the deity's sight.
"No! Please! Please! We beg of you!" In an instant, the pleading trolls were dragged out of the dark deity's abode, a luxuriously crafted palace in the Underworld to Zen. A confinement enclosure for demons, beasts and other mystical beings if they were misbehaving on earth.
But aren't trolls immortal? Same as demons and every other mystical beasts in existence for that matter. How did they end their immortality? Only Gods knew that, Sasuke specifically because he is responsible for any beings' death.
The deity on an impulse continued to his chamber where he would always contemplate. 'How dare they? Worthless creatures' Sasuke thought to himself. He was right, every time there's an amnesty, most of them would end up in Zen anyway. Why bother? 'Just stay immortal on earth. Damn them. Damn them all to Zen.' Sasuke exclaimed in his mind.
There would always be a pathetic portion of them defying his will and not learn a single lesson from their own regretful sins. He's the Death God, why would he be merciful, why would he be caring and forgive?
'Enough' It was starting to infuriate him. The fact that history is always repeating itself. He would know, he's older than any of the immortals on earth, Zen and Vey altogether.
He was the king to the Netherworld and respected ally of the other Gods that became the soul generators of earth, of Totem, technically to humans too and of other venturing spirits. Even though there weren't any balance in the world today, Sasuke could care less. And so did the other Gods, they wanted to enjoy their power so they swore to never intervene human objections as well as the rogues'. It's their problem, handle it themselves. 'I only tend to the dead', Sasuke thought.
Even prayers were ignored by Gods and of humans. Not that the Gods would of even paid any contemplation to praying humans. Heck, Sasuke shut off any prayers from humans on his behalf centuries ago, it was...in his words 'Annoying'. Pleading to keep them away from death's sooner-or-later door, save them from getting burnt down along with their houses and on rare occasions, some were praying for Sasuke to kill them off right at that instant when they were getting tragically raped from wanting beasts.'How pathetic can humans get?' Sasuke growled at the stupid memory.
On his way up a ridiculously hugely-constructed staircase fit for royalty in a massive room which appears to be a ballroom of some kind but was dark and the gold handles on opposite sides of the staircase didn't sparkle as much as it would if there were any sunshine, a sudden thin wave of smoke-like powder that seem to bear a resemblance from the previous conjured troll handcuffs appeared out of nowhere to in front of the deity. The smoke turned dry and molded into a demon. He had silver hair that shined glossily, half of his face was covered up with some type of mask and eyes that were each colored differently than the other. His right socket was attached to a dim black eyeball while his left was crimson that was similar to Sasuke's.
With that said, Sasuke met the silver-haired man's gaze with his pair of no-longer red as the river-of-hell eyes, instead they were gleaming onyx now. His gaze was empty, blank. "What now, Kakashi?" He mouthed. "You might want to go to your chambers now. My lord." Kakashi bowed before his master. "Well, get out of the way then." Sasuke said calmly while shoving him and leaving a bewildered Kakashi in his awkward stance, facing Sasuke's back who was practically stomping his way to his chambers.
Upon opening the door, the deity suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Pausing for a moment, he heard a voice. Someone was whimpering and crying. Was he loosing it? He couldn't sense anyone. There weren't anyone foreign in his palace, just his usual goblin servers and skivvies. Did his 10 000 years of being forlorn and anguished made him deranged as demons are with power?
Realizing his current right hand being only inches away from his chamber's odd-looking gold doorknob, he decided to ignore the pointless sound. 'Someone's in despair. So what?' He snickered and went into his chamber. Out of the blue, a shiny and satiny sphere lumped towards Sasuke. He didn't bulge, but he did have quite a curious look on his face. His pair of orbs looked even more stern than before.
"Is it serious" Sasuke was practically demanding an answer from the pure-white sphere. The said sphere looked somewhat like a globe, inside it a head miraculously appeared. A head of an old woman. A very old woman that had wrinkles layer-by-layer but more specifically didn't have any eyes. A head full of grey hair, skin with an impossible number of layers, two sockets need filling and no body.
"Exquisite, indeed. I have never dreamt the day the one and only God of Death would fall in love. No, no...never your highness, no. Never Supreme Lord."
"What are you blabbering about old hag? Explain." Furious, the being trapped inside the globe continued quickly hoping to shed some light and not infuriate the god anymore than he needs to be.
"For-forgive me my Lord."
"What did the oracle show now? Get on with it."
"I saw you, your Excellency...you were-uh with a girl...your Majesty" Sasuke looked somewhat blank but troubled.
"What is she to me then?"
"She appears to be..." She couldn't find the words to continue. She was afraid to mouth unwise words to the deity himself who might not be interested in listening. She pondered for a while until the deity roared "SPEAK!"
"Sh-she seems to be yo-your, your...bride, my Lord" pausing for a moment, the deity's puzzled simultaneously furious face was easy to predict even a blind person can feel it. Quickly, she continued at the same time floats a few feet away from the said god "You seemed happy, Great God. Although the peculiar thing is that she appears to be a mortal. She has a pair of beautiful emerald eyes, georgeous head of pink hair, an infectious smile I might add and-"
"Bullshit"
The trapped head snapped silent. She didn't dare to defy his majesty.
"Leave" the deity ordered. The said partial body part, complied. "Your will...is my command, your Magnificence" The conjured spherical being went through the walls, as if it was a ghost, leaving the deity in his train of thoughts, stomping back and forth.
His chamber didn't have a bed. He's a god, why would he waste his time sleeping? The room was big, fit for a god but was basically barren. It was lifeless and bleak. The drapes were down, fire emitted from the chandeliers but was void of light and life. Then again, he was the death god. The walls were painted in dark maroon, the drapes were in blazing dark-blue and the door was dark brown with an unusual gold doorknob, doors that were as high as giants.
Inside his chamber, there were three more doors with the same handles. One was leading towards the deity's lavatory. Another was leading to a room which appear to be his wardrobe, which by-the-way wasn't much. The last one was an opening to the balcony outside. It was hugely constructed but seemed creepy with gargoyles and bats inhabiting the said balcony.
The room was very spacious, there were only bookcases inside his so-called chamber. It looked more of a library, with its huge and thick collection of worn-out ancient reading materials as well as a gigantic workplace table with a fireplace nearby plus a set of comfy black-cushioned gold-embodied sofas.
'Old hag. She should just die and revoke her place as the oracle holder. Never in my entire life have I ever heard anything more ludicrous' On that note, Sasuke stopped his stomping. There it is again.
The crying.
"Stop, just...just stop Sakura! That's enough!" The voice was obvious it came from a girl. "Why? Why can't I stop crying?"
"Show yourself you buffoon! How dare you trespass into my chambers!" Sasuke bellowed angrily. He felt stupid for yelling at something that wasn't there. There was no response and he knew well why. He was indeed alone.
Then where is that voice coming from?
"God, praise you and your being. Please, just ple-please save me...save me from myself. Give me strength, and-and courage and..." She wanted to go on but ended up crying even more. Her voice was all muffled up and Sasuke finally caught up with his befuddlement.
She was praying.
It was a human prayer. Sasuke felt fascinated yet disgusted by the beggarly act. 'Pfft! Should have known' Sasuke gripped his hands together, molding a hand-sign in hopes of ridding any beseech from rueful humans.
Instead, a bright light emanated from his hands with strands of witchery that made him realize that he was being teleported to who-knows-where. The last thing he managed to put into words were "How moronic." Then Everything went silent as the god got pulled into the blazing light, leaving neither trace nor scent.
"Help me, protect me Almighty God. No! I don't need protection, I just...just need to be brave. Yeah, that's it, I just need to stand my ground. That's all." She paused momentarily finding her way through the thick fog. "Who am I kidding?" The little girl with a ruffled up huge t-shirt and a pair of knee-high shorts began her rummage through the forest to find her way back to the orphanage she came from. "I shouldn't have run away. It wasn't my fault the others were noisy. Charlotte sure is a meany. Why did I use the word meany? That's so childish. Be more mature Sakura and get your head out of the gutter." Inner Sakura intervened. "You can't be a softy if you wanna escape. Yeah, but for now there's no use in me scouring the forest blind as a bat. What's the time anyway? Why is it so dark?" Hoping to get some sort of answers from the unseen, she finally realize she was lost.
"Where. The. Heck. Am I?" Sakura eyed every corner hoping to recognize anything but wasn't able to decipher the pathway. The thick fog isn't helping either. Her emerald orbs, stained with tears scanned the entire current layout, still not wanting to give in. Soon she made up her mind to wait. Wait until the fog is no longer too thick to venture in.
'Stay strong Sakura. Remember that. Don't cry anymore. It's a waste of time. No more! No more useless whimpering!' She exclaimed in her mind while biting down her teeth onto her bottom lip.
Sakura then sat under something she thought was a tree but technically wasn't even from the human world. It was transfixing. Sakura was fascinated by the odd looking plant. It didn't have any branches nor did it have green leaves. Its leaves were as red as ember and appears to attach itself to its single strong magnificently-tall bark. Sakura thought it was really beautiful even though it pretty much was a product of those rogues.
'Just let them scour the forest and find me then. I might as well save my energy before getting battered by them for running away.' Sakura said in her mind. Sakura spent the next hour reminiscing her childhood with her beloved parents. Staring at the starry sky reminds her a lot of her parents. She would always lie down with her dad on the side of their farm where they could see the obvious stunning scenery. Talk about their hens, the cows, the ducks, their life basically. With the fog still in tact, she might as well rest, still not getting a clear view of the stars. As she awed and awed, she couldn't help falling asleep under the dazzling mystical tree-like plant.
In that exact moment, a blinding and gleaming light breezed in, right infront of the mortal. A light so bright that can be seen by beings from the great beyond but ironically could not be noticed by the slumbering girl. Transfering a being through the wormhole-like telerpotation witchery, an angry God appeared through it. Sasuke was very displeased, "The human world? What kind of sick joke is this? Naruto, wherever you are, I'm gonna murder you! I swear I'll-"
The said God turned to find a little female mortal lying on the ground under "A death tree. What is it doing here of all places?" Not caring at all the state of the human.
'A death tree couldn't possibly be able to grow in a soil so vile. Forget that, a death tree can only grow in my world.'
The deity started scanning the whole forest. Sensing the life force from nearby beings. Knowing that Naruto's not there made him more confused of the situation aside from the fact that there was a group of female demons coming his way, 'Probably to take care of the mortal' He concluded.
'But how the hell did I even get here?' The deity questioned himself. A group of male demons don't even have the power to teleport him much less a group of female demons. Only gods have the ability to transfer souls from a dimension to another. "No matter, I just need to get this tree out of this pathetic realm and be on my way" Snapping his fingers to relocate the said plant, it made the sleeping body stumble from the absence of back-support.
Immediately, to even Sasuke's utter surprise, his eyes turned red and observed the girl.
She somehow resembled the old hag's description.
Pink hair.
It was mesmerizing to the deity's eyes to the point where he automatically activated his sharingan. He was in utter shock. His inner being was so fixated by the statuesque-like angel. Yet, he was confused and doubtful. 'That old hag couldn't be in her right mind. She couldn't have. It's impossible for a god. And...and she had emerald eyes.'
He remembered the old hag describing the girl having emerald orbs. If this mortal indeed fulfills that part of the description there's literally no doubt that she might be his. 'Mine? That's not even an option-'
Surprising both the deity and herself, Sakura rose from her clumsy fall to the ground. "I swear there was a tree behind me just a minute ago"
Sasuke's heart pounded and pounded. After a few moments of struggle, prying open her eyes with her palms, she turned her gaze towards the deity.
In an instant, all confusion and unsettling agitation he had about the oracle, about his fate all pinpointed to the same exact denouement. He is fated to be with someone and that someone was this sleepy little girl.
Sasuke calmly asked but with a devilish smirk implanted on his face, "Sakura, right?"
well? Review!
and merry christmas everyone! Happy new year and bless u!
