Chapter 24 Review
" GET HER NOW!" the man called out at the top of her lungs to the sky. Looking up Sakura noticed something she didn't see before.
Men, and lots of them. The lined the rooftops of the two buildings one the sides of the alley and they seemed to be smiling.
Oh shit, was the only thing Sakura could think of as she saw one by one every man jump down to the alley and surround her.
Chapter 25 Pure White Eyes
The blackness of her mind surrounded her as she sunk slowly into abyass. She wasn't quite sure how she got there. One moment she was trying to help an old man, the next she saw figures all around her, then a sharp pain in the back of her head and then it was like she was floating. She could also remember seeing the face of the man who she tried to help before she blacked out. His face looked so twisted, like he was truelly evil to the core of his soul. She wasn't sure want was going on but she knew that whatever happened no good could happen. It was only a matter time before her friends noticed she was gone, they would go out and search for her.
Right?
Ino would without a doubt, and Ino would force Shikamaru to come but what about Naruto? She knew that if he didn't come looking for her it would kill her on the inside but she would have to get over this little school girl crush one day. He was engaged to Namine, who was smart ( even if she was blonde ) funny in a stupid way and she had something about her that just made people go to her like a moth to a flame. She was nice, but Sakura couldn't help but hate her. Now that she thought about it, she didn't hate her really it was what she was going to do that she hated.
She was going to take Naruto away from her.
Looking around the darkness that surrounded her she saw something that got her hopes up.
A hand.
It was surrounded in the darkness so she couldn't see whoever was trying to save her. Not even caring who it was she reached out for the hand despartly trying to reach it. Her fingers were barely touched the hand before her and she immentailty drew her hands at the touch.
She knew that touch anywhere. Such soft hands for a boy but she knew who it was.
" SAKURA-CHAN!" the musical voice reached her ears
" NARUTO!" her hand launched towards the hand before her smiling knowing who was on the otherside of this darkness. The second there hands touched the a blinding pure white light illumated the room, the darkness forever gone. The laws of gravity no longered applied as Naruto floated above her, his hand still tightly holding on to her, with that chessy stupid grin on his face.
Without saying anything his other hand reached out for her, something she gladly accepted. Throwing himself back, Sakura rocked up only to land safetly on a building. The scene had completely changed as the two where now standing ontop of a building at twilight. Sakura always liked to call this time twilgiht, sunset was just too dull for her taste. Looking down she saw this wasn't just any other building, it was the castle. Looking down to her left she saw Shikamaru sleeping on Ino's shoulder while Ino was trying to hold in her giggles. Looking back forward she noticed Naruto was standing infront of her their hands still intertinwed.
Blushing from the contact, Sakura attempted to slide her hands out of his, but his grip on her only tighten. Looking up to his eyes she couldn't help but stare into the blueness infront of her. They were so pure it was amazing.
" Don't " he mummbled holding on to her hands tigher " I don't want you too, I mean "
Blushing even more, Sakura couldn't even managed to say anything. Her words where trapped in her throat, which was quickly drying. She knew she must have looked like a love sick fool, but it didn't matter to her. The sharp tug on her arm brought her back down to Earth both figuretly and literally. Naruto had decided on sitting and his sudden fall made Sakura loose her balance and tomple right onto his lap. She felt the viberations on him and she knew he was trying to stiffle of laugh.
" It's ok, go ahead and laugh " Sakura said. Naruto didn't skip a beat as his loud hearty laugh soon was heard although the castle as maids and royality alike both looked up trying to figure out what had made such a noise.
" Wow Naruto, why don't you just scream we're up here? " Ino said sarcastly
" Yeah Naruto " Shikamaru said in cracky voice, Naruto's laughter must have woken him up
" Aww, your no fun " Naruto said childishly, even pouting for an extra effect. Sakura giggled at that, here was a grown man, the future of their kingdom pouting like a little three year old brat! Naruto smiled at her giggles.
" You see, Sakura's fun!"
Looking back up him her eyes once again locked onto those pure blue orbs. She wished she could stay like this forever. Just the four of them forever, just her and those beautiful eyes.
She and even Ino knew that this peace wouldn't last. The princes would move on, leaving the maids and all memories of their friendship and maybe even possiblty dare she say love behind. That could wait for another day though, today it was them staring off into Twilight in a momentary bliss. Naruto left go her left hand and shifted so that they could sit, side by side. She never noticed the warmth of Naruto's hands until it was gone. Her hand felt so cold without it, but her right was still connected with his and atleast she still hand that. Putting her head on his shoulder, like Shikamaru had done with Ino, her eyelids fought to stay open. Just as they were about to lose the battle against sleep , something happened.
She felt like someone was shaking her.
Suddenly aware, she rocketed off Naruto's shoulder and looked over at the trio. Nothing had happen but she felt as if her body was being brutaly shaken. She tryied to open her mouth to say something but her words weren't coming. Insitly grabbing her throat she tried to form words but she was mute. Nothing was coming out and looking at the group they didn't even move. It was as if they where frozen in time. She wanted to scream but noting was coming out. Tears began forming and the more she tried to speak the faster they flowed.
What was happening to her?
" Are you ok!?"
Looking around she couldn't find the source of the voice. Looking off to the Twilight sky, her tears began to slow until they stopped completely. There was something about this time that was utterly peaceful. It was the day slowly giving into the night. The forever change that will happen each and every day as long as there was a sky. She could still remember the twillight after her parents died. Ino and Sakura had just started their journey on the run, and Sakura wasn't " excited " about their new lives. Their whole first day on the run was full of nothing but bickering and Ino's plan of watching the sunset to calm down wasn't helping either.
They had snuck into a small farm and where sitting ontop of their barn. The owners weren't around so it wasn't like they where going to get caught or anything.
" I love the sunset!" Ino said cheerfully. The tension between the two was obvouis.
" Twilight " Sakura mumbbled
" That's right, it's twilight to you " Ino said laughing trying in vain to lift the tension. Looking down at her sister, she sighed and and sat down.
" You want to go back don't you? "
" Yes I do, Ino. " Sakura said
" Well we can't, the kingdom guards must be already searching for us and it's not safe for us back there. " Ino said
Sakura knew what she was saying was true, but that didn't mean she hhad to like it.
" That doesn't mean I want to do this. I mean come on Ino how long do you think we can live on the run like this? Don't you want to ever settle down or have a family?" Sakura asked
Ino knew that Sakura always wanted to be a mother, and being a fugutive wasn't going to help her chances of being one. Looking away from her sister's gaze, she stared off into the twilight sky.
" Ironic isn't it?" Ino said to herself
" What's ironic?" Sakura asked
" Well, to me atleast, sunset is like what's happening to us right now " Ino said smiling
" You lost me " Sakura said confusion clear in her voice, sometimes she wished she could pick Ino's brain, just to see where she comes up with stuff like that.
" Well the sun is setting, just like this chapter of our lives are ending " Ino said
" What chapter "
" The chapter with our family "
Sakura looked down at her feet at that sentence. They where her real parents but they ALL where a family, even if they weren't blood related.
" So the darkness of night is the next chapter of our lives? Gees, your not helping of your case on why we shouldn't just turn ourselves in " Sakura said sarcastly
Ino chuckled at that, " No what I mean even though the the sun is setting on our past we are setting on a new chapter of our lives "
" How can you be so sure that we won't fail or die!?" Sakura said
" Because, no matter how black the night may be we know that the sun will always rise at the end of it " Ino said
Sakura looked out to the sky before her, when did her sister become such a poet? Sakura sighed and turned her head away from Ino.
" If we're gonna do this, then we better leave soon. No telling when the farmer is going to come back " Sakura huffed, she hated giving into Ino. Ino's smile couldn't have been brighter, for she tackled Sakura in happiness.
" Don't make me change me mind!" Sakura jokingly threathen
Ino apperantly took it seriusly for she got off her sister in a second flat and smiled, " FORWARD MY PINK HAIRED SIDEKICK!"
" HEY! I'M NOT YOUR SIDEKICK!"
Sakura couldn't help but smile at the memory. Looking up at the sky, she almost forgot the violent shaking going on within her. That it until she felt a stinging pain run through her. Closing her eyes in pain she wanted to squeeze Naruto's hand for comfort but it was gone. Looking down she could still see Naruto's hand but it was transparent! Looking around her the sky had darken and her friends where all transparent.
Her mind was racing now as she tried to figure what was happening around her. That's when she felt it, the ground below her was crumbling. A hole opened up beneath her and she fell deep into the blackness of the hole. Her body hit something that knocked the wind out of her as if it had been cement. The cold water rushed around her making her skin create gossebumps on her skin. Opening her eyes she looked around and saw hunderds if not thousands of neon blue fish. They didn't look like any of the fish she's ever seen, as they seemed to glide through the water like blue jays flew through the sky. She saw the ocean floor below her and she was fully prepared for her body ramping right into it. That hit never came, for as she was one centimeter from the ground her eyes, her true eyes, opened.
Opening her eyes was a new to her, the light was blinding and she could smell foulness in the air. She seemed to be lying on the floor with a small blanket that didn't even reach to her knees drapped on her.
What was going on?
Being the type of person to fall asleep on her sides, Sakura used the arm she was onto push herself off the ground only to be meet with a spiliting head ache. Falling back to ground, her head hit the floor head only increasing the end pain.
" Don't over work yourself " a voice said softly. Sakura recognized that voice, it was the same one in her dream, was this the person who asked if she was ok? Rolling over on her side, her eyes where meant with a dark purple material. Looking up she saw one of the most exotic girls she's ever seen.
Her skin was very tan almost on the borderline of being dark brown like Angel was, her eyes were square and light brown. Her nose was very round and her lips where plump with the top one matching her skin almost flawlessly and her bottom lip bright pink. It was what she was wearing that had her staring. Her dressed seemed to be nothing but one giant piece of dark purple cloth with a black border all around the edges, wrapped around her in an elegant way. The top was wrapped over her right shoulder and wrapped around the top of her left breast leaving her left shoulder and arm exposed. The material was very large as it made a sleeve as long as Sakura's forearm for this girl as her right elbow down was also exposed. It wrapped around her side hugging her curves perfectly. Underneath that was a material of the same design that covered her legs all the way down to her toes. Around her neck was a small braided piece of string with a small pendant with something craved onto it.
" Wow " Sakura said dumdfounded, this girl was so pretty.
" It's called a sari " the girl said
" What? " Sakura said rolling over on her back so she could look up at that girl
" The dress, lots of girls stare at it when they first come here " the girl said smiling
" Where are we? " Sakura asked. Before the girl had a chance to say anything a loud blooming voice yelled freezing the girl in her place.
COME OUT YOU WHORES!
" HIDE THE NEWBIE!" the girl next to her screamed
Suddenly Sakura felt hands all around her and that when she finally noticed that she and this extoic girl wasn't the only people in the room. Looking around she saw four girls, two on each of her sides carrying her away from whoever was coming. Looking around she saw a bunch of figures running towards where she guessed was the front of the room. The girls carring her suddenly stoped and placed her genetly on the floor. They started yelling at the other girls to come back and before she knew it a line of twenty or more girls was made hiding her behind them.
What was going on here?
She could hear a door slam open and looking up she saw that every girl become tense. Looking through some of the girl's legs before her she could see two men in the front of the room. One of the men was very very short but seemed versy muscular for his height. His cheeks where huge, his nose very small and slender and his eyes seemed to have a pointed edge to them. They where pure black and seemed to have a razor edge sharpness that frigten her. The man next to him looked like a street rat. Dressed in black loose shirt and baggy white pants ( think like Alddain pants here ) his face seemed to look happy but in a twisted way. His face was tan and there seemed to be a smirk just waiting to form.
" Wow, Mr. H you never disapoint now do you? " the man with the now full on smirk said
" Yes, Waku I don't know do I " Mr. H said before turning to the girls " Girls! How do we greet a guest "
Every girl infront of her simunaisty lowered to their knees and bowed. Sakura inched her self closer to the group praying that she would remain hiden.
" Good evening honored guest " the girls said in unsion
The two men from what Sakura prayied paused and where looking at the girls.
" Who's that? " Waku said making Sakura stiffen in her place.
Had she been discovered!?
When none of the girls moved a inched she prayied that they weren't talking about her.
" Me?" a small voice chimmed from the back of the room
Not moving, Sakura's eyes went straight to the back of the room to a small corner. There was a small girl in the corner a with a large blanket wrapped around her. Her dark brown hair was in a tangled mess as if she didn't even care what she looked like. Her blanket covered most of her body and her eyes where closed as if she didn't care about anything or anyone.
" Yes you! I pick that girl " Waku said smiling as if to taunt her. The girl sighed and got up. Her clothes where nothing but a dark purple almost black shirt that was too tight for the growing girl and matching pants that reached her knee caps. Walking over to the men, her eyes were half open as if she was in a daze or just plain drunk. Finally reaching the two, Waku placed his hand on her shoulder at which she instantly jolted and glared at him.
" Dont.Touch.ME! " she growled
" Why you ungratefull little!" Mr H huffed bringing his hand back to slap her
" No it's ok " Waku said raising his hand to stop him " I like her, she's got moxi "
The girl simply glared at him.
" Come young one!" Waku said forceably grabbing her arm " There's fun to be had tonight!"
The two men walked on and as if in a plea for help the girl turned slightly wishing one of the girls would take her place. Sakura just happened to look at something and locked eyes with the little girl being held. She saw so much in those two seconds. She saw fear, pain and regret, but the eyes themselves interested her more then anything eyes.
They where two white orbs.
The moment slowly passed and the door slammed behing the trio. As soon as Mr. H the girls looked up with a smile.
" Thank God it wasn't me! " she heard some of the girls sigh. Looking around she saw the girls return to there on corners as if nothing ever happened.
" Where am I?" Sakura asked herself as the exotic girl from earlier turned around
" Welcome to the brothel house " the girl said
