Chapter 4
Off she goes.
Sakura made it there kind of fast.
Ok, maybe...really fast.
But that of course didn't even deter Sakura as she sped through the crisp and clean black road. The road vibrating at every passing moment at the roars of her monster. It was a nice feeling. The warm and heated air flushed her face out and warmed her neck. Her coat flapping wildly behind her making her look like something that didn't exist. Her smile was one that should be feared and the glint under the sun glasses of her vibrant eyes just showed how much she cared at the dangerous pace she was gliding at. Her body arched over the bike like that of a panthers and she was ready to pounce at any given moment should it have the need.
The familiar weight of her long katana was nestled at the base of her thigh built into her coat. Whenever it came out, It was only for a second at then it went back into the slit of her inside coat pocket that acted as her sheath. It was her only weapon save for a few knifes and a small pistol that resided on the other side of her jacket. She even forgets that they are there unless in times she needs them.
Kind of like the pendant she wore around her neck.
The pendent that signified she was owned.
A small scowl slipped on her lips making her wicked and feirce look give away for the moment and she urged her bike faster the rumbling of the roads under her wiping that thought clean from her mind. She didn't want to think about that yet.
Or ever.
But then she didn't want to think about alot of things.
The flashing of buildings sped by her as she twisted and turned through the crowded city. This was up-town. All the building were built up and never was it empty. Except for around 4:00 a.m in the morning. The only time she would EVER come down here. And she meant EVER. It was too suffocating.
Sakura easily made through her way paassing the blazing red lights and weaving her way through the maze of blocks and streets going to the center of the town. The heart. The only building that was one level and flat not being built up, it was old and rusting out of its mind practically waiting for its end to come.
Sounds crappy doesn't it...
Unless your thinking of City Hall. The largest and most ancient building in the city signifying its history and importance of the likes of Konoha. The only building to take up a whole block itself and was PRETTY important apparently.
And it was her destination.
Sounds highly unlikely for the likes of her doesn't it.
Yeah, well. It is.
But her pride won't admit it.
Nor her ego.
So there she went. Her mind blank and the only thing keeping her sane was the wind that told her un-feeling self she could feel it. One of the most important reason she rode her bike everywhere she went. So she could feel something close to a sembalence to being alive. Sakura drew up short at the corner she knew she was supposed to turn in at. The corner was to sharp for her liking and at least 500 car crashes appeared at this one spot every year. It was the tourist attraction for causing deaths and sever injuries. It was quite amusing.
She moved easily towards it and turned swiftly feeling the wind snap her hair across her neck. Her knee caught the road slightly. Her face didn't even wince but she bit back a curse. Thank God she wore jeans today...She wears them everyday. But she was extra thankfull for today. While she finished the death trap that could give her a run for her money. Her eyes glanced up over her glasses and her emerald eyes crackled with a small spark at the building she knew was there.
She was at her destination.
The famliar building glowed in the up and coming sun light. Only a corner of the old and marble building was in the shadow hiding from the glare of the sun. The old building held its self up with pride as it stared lowly at the other sky-riding buildings that practically scowled down at it and held an expression that one could make out as being said as 'Blow me' to the smaller building that they surrounded. Taunting it. But it helds it own. It has been there longer then they have. Since the founding basically and the knowledge it knew and held...
Made Sakura's mouth water.
She has been through its library several times but never has she seen half of its extent of knowledge. The medical entrys it had fascinated her and she holed her self up there in her free time spending more than several hours there at a time. Sometimes even sneaking out documents.
She never got caught of course.
Know one knew she was there.
But that's beside the point.
Sakura pulled into the creviced and small turn in that was based at the small point behind the building. It was the secret turn in that wasn't so secret becasue it was used for employees who worked there. but people decided that it was secret...maybe having something to do with the fact that it wasn't open to the public and that gave it the appearence of mystery. Whatever eludes these people. She guessed they never read a God damned mystery book in there life.
People these days.
'Sheesh' Sakura sighed mentally. A familiar presence immediatly wavered in the back of her head and her vivid green eyes narrowed behind her glasses as she sped around to find a parking place that wasn't noticiable, the only space she would use. Concentrating hard the small presence she felt within her faded away. It was regrettable. But she didn't have the time at the moment to deal with her.
Finding it the place she was looking for she moved swiftly to the dark and shrouded from the sun place that was never touched with the bright lights of the heated and in-flamed planet. The darkness welcomed her with open arms and it felt nice to be greeted by something.
She was but a resident it didn't want to let go.
And she was the only one allowed to leave. For it knew she would come back.
She always did.
Sitting up she un-clasped her self from the favored black motorcyle that had wormed its way into her dead heart. The thrill it provided was a needed thing. She didn't make a move to move her glasses off her face and ddin't go for her papers behind her in the compartment. She wouldn't need them. Sakura swung her leg over and behind her looking like a deadly weapon as her coat moved with her every move, curling around her with warmth. While doing this she turned off the purr of her bike and felt the ground meet her feet. The ground did nothing but irritate her.
She tuned from her bike swiftly and started walking to the door she needed to go through. It wasn't that far and she reached it in the matter of seconds. And swung it open like she owned it. Not that she could ever really put her name on something that was worth anything to someone else, But the thought provided comfort to her. She was immediatly met with bright lights highlighting the dark entry way. Sakura was grateful for her dark shades. She didn't want the glare of the lights to hit her eyes. She walked staked through there at a slow and tantalizing plave. Her heavy boots making the noise she hated so very much. The stomping noise she could tell alerted everything she passed and the still and narro passage way.
She could make out the small dor that greetd her up ahead. It was to her left and was eternally forever locked.
Except for someone like her.
She reached up in one fluid movement and grasped at her pendent. The small diamond in the middle of the circle gave her no warmth and the usual tucked in neckalce that layed in between her breasts felt cold as the steel layed waste to her skin. She pulled it up and out of her shirt and bent down all the while turning to the door that she was now at.
The bent down her coat pulling up a bit at her legs and slipping the cirle in the small crack that was on the corner of the door. A small crack that almost no one would noticed unless you looked for it. There was no door knob, which some should have found suscipous. But people don't even bother to question thinking that it was there since the time it was built and it was just a mistake.
Well...they were right about one thing. It has been here forever.
But it wasn't by mistake.
She heard the crunch sound and the click signifying it could be opened and she pulled up, once again stuffing the necklace down her shirt. She didn't want to see it. She pushed the door open and stepped through powerfully. Her presence swarming the small hall way. And she glided trough wanting to get out of the small passage as soon as possible. It was dark and damp and yes she like the coolness of the hallway.
But frankly it was cramped.
Way to cramped for her.
A chill passed through her which was suprising giving in to the fact that she had a long and black coat on. It was tailored to fit her small and petite body snuggly and gave her the ability to moved fast and lethally. It was the best thing she owned. Everything else she bought from thrift stores and just kept everything she could. Frankly she didn't care what she looked like.
She didn't need to impress anybody.
Not anymore.
She would not do that ever again. All her old clothes were burned and she laughed evilly as she watched their ashes float away into the night air. It was a pleasure filled thought and she felt pride course through her. Her walking slowed to a leisured pace as she thought about that night. It was the night when everything changed.
And everything became crystal clear.
Everything made sense.
It was the blackest and starkest moment of her life, and she loved every bit of it.
It was the night...
she became herself.
Who she really was.
The person she has to hide from everybody.
But it doesnt really matter at the moment. She learned well to never dwell on the past like some people. It was a harsh and cruel world out there and she had been accepted by it, which in her head. Was an honor to some extent. To know whats really before you and not imagine the perfect world. Because there will never be a perfect world. Ever.
Sakura pulled up short at the small door that was now before her. The tiny space now bothering her as she was wisked out of her thoughts. Her foot steps stopped and she quieted her breathing before she took a deep breath,
Ready to grace the Mayor of Konoha city with her presence.
