ENJOY!
{CHAPTER TWENTY TWO}
Hours had passed and Sakura wasn't home yet.
Sakura wondered if he had being caught by the cops or worse killed.
But she was living proof he was still alive.
Sakura's mind went back to their little make out scene.
Why had he stopped?
Was he scared of something?
And why had his red eyes activated?
She was so confused right now and the feelings she was feeling deep inside wasn't helping her at all.
But hey...look at the bright side, if he was gone she would be able to sleep calmly tonight.
Whenever he was ready to show up...he will.
She raised her thumb unconsciously to her face and realized the injury she had before had gone.
There wasn't even a single mark on her thumb.
"How...?" she said in awe.
But she hadn't done anything. But yet the injury was gone.
She expected a small mark or something but yet it appeared invisible ..like it wasn't even there.
Then an image flashed through her again. She could see people and she could remember somethings.
Not just about Sasuke but about everything that happened in the other world.
She remembered being chased by some men who had kept calling her the Hime and most of all why they were chasing after her.
She remembered the hint Sasuke had gave her...she was the healer from the lengends.
She couldn't believe it buy it was actually true, from the practice that had happened today and now her healed up thumb.
There was no doubt about it...she really was a healer, but there is only one way to fully confirm that.
All alone in her apartment, Sakura went into her kitchen. She was going to do something very foolish and she hoped she won't pay dearly for it.
Searching for a knife in her utensils cabinet.
She soon found a sharp table knife and she brought it out.
She held it up close so she could see her reflection clearly.
Her heart was beating fast and she was sweating profusely.
Taking one long breath and closing her eyes shut, she lifted the blade up and made a long slash on her wrist and then there was red.
Instead of Sasuke coming in like she expected or her wounds healing, she felt darkness welcome her and she slowly drifted away into the light.
...
...
When Sakura opened her eyes the first thing she noted were trees, lots and lots of trees.
Somehow, this place look familiar.
She got up and looked around.
"Hi" someone said "You must be confused as what you are doing here"
"Where am I?" Sakura asked
The individual smiled revealing his perfectly white teeth "You are back home princess"
"What?'' Sakura turned around and realized she was back in that weird city again.
This was exactly the same place she had woken up from the other time.
She looked down at herself and saw she wasn't putting on her clothes but instead had some strange red gown on.
"Come with me, the sage of prophecies awaits you" the stranger lead Sakura ahead.
Sakura followed him as he lead her into the woods.
"Ah, finally" A voice said "Welcome Hime"
Sakura looked towards the direction of the voice and she came face to face with an old aged man.
He looked 70 to 80.
His beard was white and he had long scar along his cheeks.
Sakura gulped.
"I am Sarutobi...fear not Hime, I am a man with simple words to say" A smiled appeared on his face.
He pointed at her "You wish to know of your past?"
Sakura nodded "Uh...yeah?''
"Then it shall be given you..but I will start from your family and how you have your powers." the man said "Laksuke 1278, a war had started and a certain clan was wiped out.
That clan was no ordinary clan.
That clan held great powers and ability to restore the dead and refused to be part of other clan and so exiled themselves from the others"
Sakura unable to understand what he was speaking about asked "What power, what clan?''
"The power of great restoration. Times passed after the war and people sought to bring back their dead loved ones but problem was that they did not have a healer anymore"
"None at all?" Sakura asked
"None. But the prophecy had said that another healer would be born from a family of nobles years to come, that infant would hold powers strong enough than a normal healer and people will go after her in search of her powers"
Questions still swamped around her still didn't get it.
If that infant had being born that long ago, she should have being dead a long time ago right.
So how was it that it was related to her?
"I don't get it. Who was this infant? And why are you telling me about it?'' Sakura asked
"Because you are that infant" Sarutobi continued.
Sakura almost laughed but nothing was funny anymore as long as it concerned her life.
She couldn't be that Infant.
Her mother had given birth to her in 1998 in the Konoha hospital.
And her parents ..they were noble yea, but not the kind of noble this old man was referring to.
They hardly had enough to care for themselves.
And also her parents had met in Konoha, they told her that.
So how was it that this man was saying that.
"I..."
"Hime, I have being told not to talk to much but to relate to you how the past connects with are the healer that the prophecy spoke about. Your world does not belong in Konoha but belongs in Himeta.
That had being your destiny from the day you were then you married the Uchiha ...that too was your destiny"
Sakura sighed "Yeah, about that...how is it that I don't remember getting hitched with the guy?"
Sarutobi smiled "I was only told to tell you one thing but it would not hurt for you to know about it" He closed his eyes and suddenly disappeared from her sight.
Sakura stood in astonishment. Was that it?
She thought he was going to tell her something else.
What the hell!
"You are getting married today men" An irritating and familiar voice said "You should be happy, you are getting hitched to that Haruno lady"
Sakura turned to where the voice was coming from.
She saw two men talking with each other.
One had bright blue eyes and blonde hair. He chuckled as he talked with his friend.
"Whoa buddy, put that off" the blonde said referring to his other partner's fully activated Sharigan.
Sakura faced the other man and saw that it was Sasuke.
He looked all dressed up for his wedding.
They both passed by her as if she was invisible and then went into a huge mansion.
Soon Sakura wasn't outside anymore, she was inside the mansion itself.
She saw people moving about, chatting and some dancing.
Then she saw herself and Sasuke. Their hands were linked together and they looked kind of happy.
She unconsciously raised her hand and stretched it forward as if trying to reach someone.
Her heart raced and felt a knot in her stomach.
Why was she feeling this way?
The next scene that appeared in front of her was kind of Shocking.
People were fighting each other and some houses were being burnt down.
Women fought against men and vice visa.
She spotted a man with black cloak and a red cloud design on it.
The Atatsuki...she heard someone say.
So these were the ones who had started the war?
She heard someone scream her name and she turned. It was Sasuke.
The alternate Sakura turned "Sasuke?"
"Sakura you stay here" he whispered
"And let you die?! Sasuke no! I won't! Its me they want, let me go to them" Sakura said trying to fight her way past Sasuke
"No Sakura, listen to me...you have to survive you have to leave. Listen follow Tsunade she will take you to a place safe"
"Sasuke..."
"Sakura listen to me and just leave! I won't forgive myself if something were to happen to you ..just go"
"You promise you will be alright?" Sakura asked
"I promise" Sasuke said activating his sharigan and then pulling out his sword.
He takes a long look at Sakura and then walks up to her poking her forehead "I will see you soon alright"
Sakura smiled "Of course"
Sasuke took one last look at her and soon ran back to fight.
Sakura watched as her alternate followed Tsunade out of the huge palace and into the woods.
"Sasuke we are running out of time, she needs to leave now!" a voice yelled
It was Naruto. He stood besides Sasuke who held a wounded Sakura in his arms.
Tsunade stood besides them too, her forehead and body covered with some weird purple marks.
Her hands were on the injured princess and some green like air showed in her hands.
"Tsunade how long?" Sasuke asked
"Soon, Sasuke, but i am afraid we can not keep her here any longer. She needs to be in a safer place. A place far away from here" Tsunade said removing her hands "But not to worry, as this mark binds you both...You will meet again"
Sasuke looked down at Sakura and sighed "Fine, but promise me she will be alright"
Tsunade nodded "You have my word as a healer"
Sasuke nodded again and gently put Sakura down.
His hand went to her fingers and he pulled the ruby ring in her finger off.
Tsunade began saying words and forming signs with her hands.
As she continued, a white light began to emit from her body.
"Sheep!" Tsunade yelled the last word and Sakura's body vanished into thin air.
Sakura stood there watching as the whole world suddenly went black.
Soon the sound of a baby crying could be heard.
Sakura was now in an hospital, Konoha hospital to be exact.
A lady sat on the bed holding unto a baby while the man standing beside her leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"Welcome to the world my pretty Sakura" the woman said
Sakura felt two misty objects form in her eyes. "Mom, dad" she whispered suddenly wishing they could hear her.
"Its alright sakura, we will protect you always just as we have being told to do" Sakura's dad said.
The couples hugged themselves pulling the baby closer. Sakura wanted to go join them but was held back when a familiar pain ran through her wrist.
She looked down and saw blood. She was bleeding.
"Sakura, can you hear me?''
That voice, it was Sasuke's.
"Sakura, wake up"
"Wake up" Sakura whispered to herself and soon, she passed out.
...
When Sakura opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a worried Sasuke looking down at her.
"Sakura are you okay?" he asked
She raised her hand up to his cheek, she smiled "Sasuke, I remember everything"
