…Sakura, 5 1/2 years old, Haruno compound…
Her body felt like it was on fire and freezing at the same time. Heavy coughs were wrecking her body and had her moving of her futon every few minutes. Her mother kneed next to her head, looking at her daughter through deep blue eyes.
"It's going to be over soon", rang her mother's voice through her ears , giving her an even heavier headache than before. Sakura felt her blood rushing through her veins and arteries with a boiling like temperature. The pounding in her head got stronger and stronger with each passing minute, but to Sakura it could have been hours until the pain got somewhat bearable, only to appear in her throat and eyes about ten times stronger. Suddenly the pain got too much and Sakura retched in order to get rid of the hot substance running through her body, only to be rewarded with blood now running over the tatami mats, colouring them in a deep red.
The same deep red that Sakura saw not only half a year ago, running from Ayame's eyes, as the woman cried tears of joy to be finally released from her misery.
Before Sakura's eyes everything started to soak up the red colour of the floor, leaving Sakura in a pool of red liquid, slowly drowning. Her body started to sink into the life important substance, first her feet, up to her tummy, until she couldn't move her arms anymore under the weight of the liquid. The deep red had already consumed everything except her upper face, mainly her eyes, slowly chocking her. *That's it*, Sakura thought, and already started to close her eyes and wished for the end to happen quickly. But through her half shut eyes she could notice a pair of shoes stopping before her, standing on top of the liquid that wanted to take away her last breath. Sakura didn't even notice that she stopped sinking and looked up to gaze at the strangers face, only to meet with a face, that looked so awful similar to her own. The forehead was the same, slightly too big, but it was hidden perfectly behind the long mob of pink hair, that flew down the girls back. The figure of the girl resembled her own, and even the for Harunos usual kimono top combined with black baggy pants that reached the girls knees held a similarity to the clothes she was usually wearing.
"Let me help you", the girl spoke and Sakura could have sworn she heard herself speaking, not taking notice of how she shouldn't have been able to her the girl before her with her ears still under the surface of the deep red liquid. The girl got on one knee and held out a hand to Sakura, which she could hold onto with a sudden speed and strength despite the substance of live weighting her down.
The girl pulled out Sakura without even baiting a lash and looked at her from head to toe. The stranger walked round Sakura, trying to catch every single detail while looking Sakura up and down constantly. The girl came to an abrupt stop in front of Sakura. Looking into her eyes, Sakura couldn't help but stare. The girl started smiling and suddenly hugged Sakura around the neck.
"Let's be friends, ne Sakura-chan", the mysterious girl asked her.
But Sakura didn't take notice of the question, nor that the girl had hugged her. No, Sakura keep staring.
Staring into those deep pools called eyes.
Eyes as red as blood.
