Chapter 4: Her Destiny
Sakura stood, frozen to the ground. Madara's cold, red eyes stared at her.
Sakura finally found her voice. "What do you want?" she managed to say.
Madara stared at her, studying her. "To tell you what you are supposed to do," he said in a flat voice.
Sakura gave him a confused look. "What I'm supposed to do?" she asked. He nodded.
Sakura, just listen to him okay? Her inner calmly said to her. Sakura started to get mad.
Listen to him? I'm supposed to trust a cold-blooded murder? She practically screamed at her inner.
Her inner sighed.Sakura, don't trust him, trust me, can you do that?
Sakura reluctantly said yes and put her focus back on Madara, he had an amused smirk on his face.
"What?" Sakura asked, a little pissed. He just shook his head and his face grew serious again.
"I am going to tell you of your destiny, the journey you will have to face and what you are going to have to sacrifice." He told her. Sakura nodded, a feeling of fear and curiosity overwhelming her.
"It all started with mana. Mana is a power much like your chakra, except it affects the world and not humans. In a different dimension, an entire world depends on mana." He paused, to make sure Sakura was still listening. She was, so he continued.
"That world was once split into two. One of the worlds is called Sylvarant while the other is called Tethe'alla. But now that world has been combined and its Mana has been going haywire. Not only that but the angels from the heavens and the akuma and the demons from the hells have surfaced and everything has been utter chaos."
"It has been rumored that the Chosen of Mana, the ruler of the two worlds, Colette had a child before she was killed but she sent that child away to help another world that was falling into despair."
"This world?" Sakura asked quietly. Madara nodded.
"Her child saved the world from the evil that had threatened to take over, along with her partner that also went to this world with her. But when the time came that she needed to go home, she could not. The portals wouldn't open for her, saying that she was not done with her task on this world. But during this time was when her mother, died at the hands of the Desians, people who had made deals with the creatures from hell and had become one with these creatures. That was when the other world had started to fall into the darkness."
"What was her name? Colette's daughter?" Sakura asked quietly. She trembling, wondering what she had to do with all of this.
Madara looked at her for a moment before saying an answer.
"Crescent,"
Sakura's eyes widened. She pointed a finger at herself. "And this Crescent person is ME?!" Sakura nearly yelled. Madara shook his head. He suddenly appeared right in front of Sakura, which made her take a step back.
He pointed a finger at her forehead. "No, it's the girl that's inside of you, now, if you don't mind, I need to talk to her so you can introduce yourself to my host." He said, then he placed his finger on her forehead.
A bright light filled the room before Sakura fell unconscious
Sakura woke up and she realized she was somewhere that was entirely white. It looked like it was an endless room.
She stood up but was immediately on the floor again for someone had tackled her to the ground. She turned her head slightly to find her self face to face with and orange and black mask.
"Hello Sakura-Chan!! Tobi is Tobi; well actually Tobi is also Madara, but mostly Tobi." Tobi said to a confused and slightly annoyed Sakura.
"Well, Tobi, why the hell did you tackle me?" she said trying to keep her anger at a minimum level.
Even though Sakura couldn't see his face, she knew he was smiling.
"Because Tobi wanted to hug you Sakura-Chan!! Tobi has never hugged a girl who looks like a pretty flower before," He said. Sakura blushed but managed to get Tobi off of her.
Tobi, noticing her blush, immediately put a hand in her forehead.
"Oh no! Tobi's new friend can't be getting sick before we go on our journey!" he exclaimed.
Sakura froze. "Tobi what journey are you talking about?"
Before Tobi could answer her Madara appeared besides him and answered for him.
"We need you to be able to travel to then other world and defeat the darkness before the whole world is destroyed. Isn't that right, Crescent?" He said looking at the pink haired girl next to Sakura.
Sakura turned towards Crescent and her eyes widened.
The only similarity that she and Crescent had was the pink hair. Instead of sea foam green eyes she had very light blue eyes. She was a little bit taller then Sakura. Her hair was past her mid back and she had bangs that cupped her face.
Crescent smiled at Sakura.
"Sorry for all the surprises Sakura, but hey, now that you've actually seen me in person don't I look so sweet?" She asked Sakura, who simply nodded, too shocked to use any words.
Madara narrowed her eyes at her. "Sweet? You're more like a devil in disguise."
Crescent sent a glare his way and he glared right back.
Sakura just started at the two while a sweat drop rolled down her face. Tobi on the other hand…
"Comrades! Tobi thinks we shouldn't fight and just all be good boys and girls," Tobi said while pumping a fist in the air. The other three stared at him.
Crescent started to laugh. "This is your host!? I feel your pity!" She said in-between laughs.
Madara gave her annoyed look. "You know we couldn't choose our host," He said.
Crescent shrugged. "At least my host is awesome just a little stupid in some things," She said. Sakura glared at her.
Madara sighed. "Anyways, the Day of Prophecy is in 5 months, we need to get to the other world as soon as possible. If Sakura really is the Chosen One, we need to get her used to the other world soon."
Crescent nodded. Sakura stepped forward.
"What do you mean, I'm the Chosen One?" She said in a panic. Crescent placed a hand on her shoulder.
"It's okay Sakura-Chan, I'll be there to help you and Madara's host will help protect you along with some other people that are waiting for you at the other world," She said with a gentle smile.
"Yeah Sakura-Chan, Tobi won't let anything hurt you!" Tobi exclaimed with confidence.
Sakura and Crescent smiled.
Sakura turned towards Madara. "What do I have to do as the Chosen One?" She asked with a new found courage.
"I'll explain it when we get their. We leave tomorrow at midnight. Sakura, get everything that needs to be done by tomorrow, you might never see this world again." Madara said.
Sakura nodded. She understood that tomorrow would be her last day in Kohona.
"Well then, see you tomorrow at midnight." Madara said.
"Bye Sakura-Chan!" Tobi said, waving his hand good bye.
Suddenly the white faded away and Sakura was back in her house, no trace of Madara was their.
"Even though I want to go to the other world to help,"
Sakura looked outside and saw the streets of Kohona that she grew up walking.
"It's hard to say goodbye,"
Author's Note:
I'm so sorry this took so long to do but I had a major writer's block and had no idea how to continue with this story. I thought of so many possibilities but this one just hit me like a ton of bricks.
I decided to just go with the name Madara since people kept saying stuff about it.
And more of Crescents and Madara's past will be revealed throughout the chapters.
Also some of you may have noticed that a lot of this stuff is from the video game 'Tales of Symphonia' well that's where I got a lot of my ideas from.
Well leave a review and if you see any mistakes please tell me and I will fix them immediately. Oh and if anyone doesn't know what something is in the chapter then tell me a review and I would be happy to explain it to you.
Oh and someone was wondering what an 'akuma' was, well it's sort of like a demon but looks more like a monster. For more info I suggest you go watch a D. Gray Man episode!
