Okay so, I had most of this chapter WOW SO BIG written down, when I decided to throw it all away and start it over.
I’ve been reading tons of fics and trying to absorb them into my writing style since I’m really not happy about it yet, which is why i haven’t posted much, you may start to notice some changes from chapter to chapter, and I hope that it pleases all of you.
As for the reviews :
Spottedpath73 - Akatsuki has a HUGE role in this story and you’ll see them for most of it, BUT, i’m trying to figure out how to make it so they don’t get too OOC’d, I drafted this story a few years back when I was younger, and the characters there had a few changes, mostly Tobi, I’m going to try and make it a bit more realistic if I can, I’ve been studying them a lot since I didn’t really finish the anime, i’m reading what’s left of the manga just for the sake of this story as well.
Mayonayys - I’m glad you’re liking it!
Also, SINCE THE CHAPTERS ARE SO SMALL, it’s tough to find songs for all of them, I’m feeling frustrated, just felt like sharing that.
Chapter 6 - God Knows, The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya
This tenderness, a feeling that I cannot express
Melting my walls, it finds a home inside my heart
We don’t need fate, no rhyme or reason to correlate
Only the now that overflows, lovin’ you
If someone were to break her, he’d like it to be him. Anyone else wouldn’t care to protect anything she had left… He wanted her to at least keep her honor.
Or at least some of it.
I’ll take care of it.

Sakura was shining with happiness. All her hope was restored, she KNEW she could leave that hell untouched, three went by since that day, and she felt that if the time came, her strategy would work. Even Chocolate couldn’t piss her off anymore, it was just like being reborn, lifted from hell into.. Well, a better part of hell. She missed her friends, she missed Naruto, but if 10 months later they still didn’t find her, a rescue probably wasn’t going to happen at all, even though her blonde friend would NEVER give up on her. She accepted that was her future for now on and decided, deep within her heart, she’d get out of there, she’d survive this. She was strong enough to do it. Maybe she’d be able to get back to Konoha someday.
“Someone had a good night yesterday” Momo-chan whispered while they were eating their lunch. “Even your skin is shining”
“I’m just happy Momo-chan, I’ll get out of here someday, you know?” Her smile was honest and bright, the older lady was so relieved to see the girl doing well, it was tough to have your life suddenly change like that, she’d been sold really young and never been pretty enough to actually become a geisha herself, so she took care of them, started doing the housework and teaching all the new girls that came, placing them under her wings.
From all the new girls, Sakura was by far the sweetest, toughest and prettiest girl that The Moonlight Rose ever had, which explained why she was getting so many clients so quickly, she was rapidly climbing up the house’s top geishas rankings, pissing off some of the girls and being loved by most others. She deeply believed that most of the time if you’re nice to someone, they’ll be nice to you too, and because of that almost everyone loved the pink haired girl full of personality, she acquired, little by little, a small space in the hearts of everyone she met.
“If someone has the chance of getting out of here, it’s you. And it might be quite soon!” she had her hands placed on Sakura’s shoulders, as if to make her pay even closer attention. “ You might even be bought by someone earlier than you expect! Everyone loves you, dear. “
“Oh Momo-Chan, I don’t want to be bought.” The pink haired maiden looked up, as if gazing at something far, far, far away. “I want to be free again”. Her mind kept going back to her days with her friends, how much she missed Ino, Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, sweet little Hinata… It was tough sometimes, but she was strong.
Really strong.
“If someone likes you enough, they might pay for you to be free, darling, we’ve had one girl here that managed to do that a few years back... Although it’s rare, it’s possible.”
“Thank you momo, but I won’t depend on anyone, I’ll be free by my own hands.” Her smile was genuine. “If things keep going like this, I can do it in 5 or 6 years, Then i’ll come visit you every three months so we can play the shamisen together later, how does that sound?”
“Oh sweetheart, when you leave, you should not come back! I’ll miss you deeply but, we all know this isn’t where you belong, don’t come revive old, bad memories, live your new life to the fullest!”
Sakura smiled, there was nothing else to be said, Momo was doing her best to help every girl in there, it’d be hard to say goodbye to the little girl every time she came, she knew that very well.
“Dahlia?” A raven-haired girl entered the kitchen, wearing a silk blue kimono and a shy smile appeared at the door, her eyes were blue and reminded Sakura a bit of Hinata, the long straight hair and introvert personality, sweet smiles and graceful movements… It was just like her dear friend at home. “You’ve been requested early today, he’ll arrive at 7” Sakura looked at her confused, she worked last night, she wasn’t supposed to be on duty today. “ He paid an extra large amount to have you today, the Madam told you to dress up extra nicely.”
Of course it had her fingers in it, Sakura muttered to herself.
“I’ll go change soon then, thank you, Aqua.” Standing up and moving towards the door, she hugged the woman that reminded her so much of home with a smile. “I’ve made lunch for me and Momo, but I accidentally made too much, so you can have some of it if you want.”
Excited, Aqua agreed and rushed to the table, the pink haired girls cooking was too good to pass off.
On the way to her room, Sakura suddenly felt a weird shill up her spine, something was different today, something felt right. Sighing the girl entered the room, moving straight to her private shower. In front of the small tub there was a mirror, reflecting her green eyes, the same ones that for too long held no life at all now seemed bright and lively, hopeful, looking forward to the future.
The water temperature was just right, as the drops fell from her scalp, down her face and towards her body our young protagonist shut her eyes and simply enjoyed the nice feeling roaming through her soul, even Inner, who most of the time liked to complain endlessly inside her head, was quiet and serene that afternoon. Her hands slowly moved through her exotic pink locks, cleaning them thoroughly while her mind went back to all that happened in her life, her childhood, the massacre, how Sasuke treated her and how he left them, how he left HER. The way she and Naruto fought to bring him back, how her friendship with Ino took over a big part of her life, saving her from herself when she was at her lowest, then finally she remembered the night she was kidnapped, the feeling of helplessness when she woke up, the feeling of being abandoned and ripped of her live, of best friends. Then she remembered Ta-Chan, how he was nice and sweet, and even though he never came back, it was special to her, it gave her hope when she needed it most. She went through every friendship she made here, Momo-chan, Aqua, most of the girls, really, and even some of her clients who went there just to talk to her about their lives and appreciate her company.
Now beautifully dressed in a light green and white kimono, she moved towards the best room in the house and with a smile on her face, she traditionally sat down, knocked the door and waited for the man to give her permission to enter, it didn’t take long to arrive, the calm and deep voice she dreamt about for weeks entered her ears and she had to blink and think twice before entering the room.
It couldn’t be right?
Determined, she raised her chin, opened the door, stood up and looked inside, her eyes met a pair of dark, onyx pupils and matching long, straight hair, neatly tied up to his back in a low and simple ponytail.
“Ta-Chan?” Sakura tried her best to not stutter when calling the man's name, slightly failing her mission, she hoped he didn’t notice how nervous and surprised she was.
“Hello, Dahlia, it’s been a while, right?”
His smile was still sweet just like she remembered, slowly she walked towards the men, hands moving, wanting to touch him and see if it was actually real, hearing him giggle made the girl snap back to reality and close her hands to her body again. “It sure has, 10 months, if I’m not wrong, Ta-Chan” Her smile was genuine, even though it showed signs of insecurity and nervousness, it was real.
It was 10 months and 9 days to be exact.
But he didn’t need to know that.
“I’ve been a bit busy, I’m sorry I took so long to return.” While gently touching her face with the palm of his hands he watched as her face grew a light shade of pink, the tip of his fingers caressed her lips almost as if in slow motion, Sakura couldn’t move, eyes glued to each other and her heart beating out of her chest - Is this a dream? - With a mocking smile he whispered “Aren’t you going to offer me something to drink?”
With a small “Oh”, the girl moved back a bit, trying to breathe. “Some wine, Sake? Or would you like some water again?”
“Water is fine, thank you”

I know my chapters are small but it’s the only way I can really write, I’ve had a horrible, HORRIBLE day too, just ended a 2 years long relationship, I hope I managed to NOT make the story reflect that, I’ll probably post more often.
