I just hope no one tries to copy me… again… ugh… Okay, I was going to stop there, but can't help it, I have to go on. See the home page of ?! It says "Unleash Your Imagination," not "See a Good Story? Try to Make It Yours!"
Mood: Relaxed (maybe it's because I just took a shower…)
Status: Going though FFs and typing up mine
Soundtrack: The saint version of Lilium from Elfen Lied (anime/manga). It's (Elfen Lied) really gory and contains some nudity, but over all, it's pretty good.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything so far, except the idea, which was inspired, so yeah, I don't own anything…
Kuso… Sakura was kneeling on the ground with her fist balled up. Kin was teasingly swinging her hair side to side, teasing her by flaunting her defenselessness. All Sakura could do was allow herself to be swung.
"What nice full hair, maybe if you spent less time shampooing and more time training, you would be able to do something about this," Kin smirked, "You are the weak one."
Weak…
Weak…
Weak…
She's right you know…
Sakura stood in shock, trapped in her illusion of her mind. This wasn't the voice that she was so familiar with. She looked up to see herself staring right back at her, tauntingly.
Her dopple-ganger smiled wickedly and stood behind her, whispering her shoulder.
You're weak. They're walking all over you. They're going to hurt those that are dear to you. And what can you do about it? Nothing…
N-no… that's not true, Sakura squatted and clutched her head, trying to escape from this nightmare. I-I will save them!
The other one smirked.
How do you plan on doing that?
I-I will fight them! I'll defeat them!!
Her twin laughed manically.
To truly defeat someone, you must kill them. You don't have that power. Without killing people, they'll walk all over you. Sasuke learned that. Naruto has yet to learn that. Now that you know that, what will you do?
I c-can't kill… I can't do that!!
Her twin bent down to extend her arm to help Sakura get up.
I can help you. I can give you that strength. All we need is each other, Sakura. Let me assist you…
Sakura stared hesitantly at the hand and then the face of her determined self. She slowly lifted her palm to place it into the cold hand of her other self. The girl laughed.
You won't regret it.
Sakura's long hair was cut and Kin stumbled from the unexpected lost of grip. Sakura slowly stood up with her hands at her chest and her bangs falling over her eyes. Her headband fell to the ground with a small tinkle. Her hair blew around her, looking like cherry blossoms.
"W-what happened?!" Kin shouted. Zaku turned around to see what his teammate was making a commotion about. Sakura held a kunai between her hands. Her bangs blew over to show only one dull green eye.
Zaku smirked, "This brat gets more interesting…"
All of a sudden, large cuts exploded all over Kin body, blood splattered on Sakura's blank face. Then, everything slowed down so that Zaku could see what happened when Kin seem to have exploded. Bloodied cherry blossoms floated up for Kin's body and then disappeared gracefully.
"C'mon little girl," Zaku yelled, "Lets have some fun!"
Sakura turned to look at him. He felt a little chill for the blankness of her emerald eye. A large deep slash appeared on his arm, and then another one on his face. Zaku jumped away to a hiding place to get a better observation of her fighting ways.
It wasn't any jutsu. No, she didn't say anything. The girl just… snapped. One minute she was a little weak crybaby and now… she scared Zaku as much as Orochimaru… what was she…?
Sakura was suddenly on the tree branch behind Zaku and a kunai pierced his back, causing him to fall. Before he could ready himself to counter Sakura's next blow, another large cut sliced though his leg, and then another deep in his stomach.
He stumbled as she was behind him again, slowly digging a kunai from his shoulder downward.
"Are we having fun yet?"
Zaku fell, pain taking over his body, he glared at her, "I won't forget your face, bitch…"
All of a sudden, something stuck his eyes. Zaku could feel warm liquid squeezing out between his eye lids. He screamed. "BITCH!!"
Ino, Shikamaru and Choji watched in horror behind their bush of sanctuary.
"I-Ino… did you know that Sakura could do that…?" Shikamaru asked.
Ino stuttered a response, "How would I know?!"
He stared at her, "You guys were once best friends, right?"
Ino tore her gaze away from him and turned her gaze to her once-best-friend torture the Sound nin to no end. "The Sakura and Forehead Girl that was my best friend isn't that monster out there. She was everything before Kin took her by her hair… but… Shika-kun… what…?"
"I don't know," he promptly replied, reading what she was about to ask, "But… has Sakura ever mentioned her family?"
Ino tried to think it over Choji's nervous munching of ships, "Now that you mention it… she really did just live her live like a lonely little shy girl… she never really talked about anything, except most girl things and Sasuke-kun…"
"This means… she's hiding something."
She looked at her companion with wide eyes, "Like…" her voice cracked a little, "Like what?"
Shikamaru's eyebrows furrowed, "I'm… not sure at the moment. I'm pretty sure it's not good though."
Ino's breath hitched and shivers started running through her. What happened to that little crybaby? What happened to her shy, sweet best friend from years ago? What was this that took over her?
Sakura smiled as she sent her cherry blossoms to form cuts across Zaku's body. She enjoyed hearing his screams of suffering. She wanted to see more… more red stuff… more noise… more pain…
"Kuso…"
More…
"K-kuso…"
More, Sakura…
"KUSO!!"
KILL HIM!!
She was about to put the finishing touch on her marveled work when she felt an insanely strong chakra presence that froze her in place. She slowly turned around to meet the red eyes of Sasuke Uchiha as well as strange markings across the left side of his body.
Wh-what is that?!
Her eyes widened as she saw the Uchiha emerge from the cave to stare emotionlessly at her and at the mess around the area.
"Get out of Sakura."
She smirked, "What are you talking about?"
He growled, "Get the hell out of Sakura now."
"Mm… can't do that Uchiha…"
He flashed beside her with a kunai, "Get out of her."
She laughed as she was then standing face to face with him, "I am your precious little cherry blossom, whether you want to accept it or not…"
"You are not Sakura."
S-Sasuke-kun…?
"Get out of Sakura."
What are you doing Sasuke-kun?
"Give me back what's mine."
Her body started losing control and Sakura collapsed to her knees, holding tightly to his arms. Sasuke's markings died away and he was then holding Sakura while she was gaining control of herself. She then loosened the iron grip on his arms and blinked, looking around at what happened. Everything flooded back to her and she stared at Sasuke.
She stared at him with shock and looked at his neck which was still marked with the black seal, "A-are you okay…?"
"Aa," he shakily answered.
Sasuke looked at Sakura's pale skin and her cheek that was stained with blood. They both looked at the bandage-wrapped Sound nin that went over to pick up his unconscious comrades and set the scroll in front of them.
Sakura shouted at him before he left, "W-wait… I was wondering, who is Orochimaru? What does he want with Sasuke-kun?"
"I don't know," he sighed, "All he told us was that we were to annihilate him." He stared at the insanely powerful pair for a minute before bowing and disappearing.
Sasuke watched as Sakura's expression and frowned, baka… always thinking about other people, never worrying about herself…
He still had his arms around her, holding her as she was sitting between his legs, staring at the ground and trying to figure out what was going on with her. Wh-what happened to me...?!
So stupid… all of them… I'm free now… and there's nothing you can do about it now Minato…
Review (duh)! Almost every single FF author wants reviews.
I was kinda just typing everything down that was on my mind, but what do you think? Sorry if it doesn't make sense. Tell me and I'll do my best to make it run smoother. I could think of anything that could've been the rising action to Sakura's secret.
I altered Inner Sakura, so it would be more like Lucy – Elfen Lied.
THANKS FOR CORRECTING MY MISTAKE WITH THE WORD DOPPLEGANGER!! This is what happens when you don't read over your work... nya~! I love my reviewers... and it's only been up for a few hours so yay!
Hugs and Kisses,
Lilium :X
