White Heart

Character above: Luna

Sasuke's POV

It's been the days since the incident with Sakura and the man by the name Akio. We've been traveling non stop to a village named yami-suki and apparently a lady lives there by the name Kiyoshi that can help us find Sakura and bring her back to us.

"How much farther Luna?" Hiu asked as he slowed down is pace. We were all tired from the endless heat and the endless traveling but we had to keep pushing. "Don't worry. She's right up this mountain." She reassures us. We slowly and tiredly walked past the mountain and soon enough a village came into sight.

We walked in and started following Luna. She walked up to a straw cottage that seemed to be separated from the other houses in this village. "Uh, are you sure this is the place?" I asked a bit hesitant to go in. "I'm positive." She said knocking on the door.

After a few seconds of waiting the door started to creek open slightly. A women about in her 50's peeked out. "Hey Kiyoshi, it's me Luna! We need your help please." Luna said to the lady. The lady squinted her eyes looking at Hiu and I up and down. She was hesitant at first but opened the door.

She was a short old lady with gray long hair. She wasn't very chubby or skinny, she was just average. She wore a scrubby green jacket over a white shirt paired with a long blue skirt that revealed a bit of her black slippers.

"What is it that you need." She said in a low husky voice. " Kiyoshi, we really need your help..." Luna said. The woman looked a bit suspicious at where this was going. "If it's a spell you need, FORGET IT!" She shouted and turned around. There wasn't much place to go. It was a two bedroom cottage and she had many masks and pottery on shelves all around her house.

"Please Kiyoshi, we need to save our friend from Akio!" She said pleading. Kiyoshi stopped in her tracks and slowed turned around to face Luna.

Jeez this lady was a creep

"Don't every mention that man's name!" She said in a even lower voice. "You know him?" Luna continued. "Luna, stop... I promised myself never to speak about him again!" Kiyoshi said looking frustrated. Hiu and I just stood there a bit akward as Luna keep annoying Kiyoshi.

I was stared to get a bit irritated as well. We needed to hurry and save Sakura from Akio who knows what he's doing to her. "Kiyoshi..." I blurred out. Both Luna and Kiyoshi went silent as there attention turned to me. I got down on one knee as I lowered my head. "I need to save Sakura, she was shot by an arrow from Akio. He's turned her against us and claims he's going to marry her..." My eyes started to tear up.

I've never felt these kind of emotions before but I could tell all the emotions I was feeling were all for Sakura. I need to rescue her. I need to be by her side. I need to tell the truth. About my feelings and why I was rude to her for so many years. I don't know when and how but I've always had a soft spot for Sakura but right now I need to focus on getting Sakura back safety.
I need to get her back... Before she marries Akio...

I raised my head to look at Kiyoshi "please help me bring back the girl I love..." I finally said tears flowing on my cheeks. Akio stared at me for a good while before sighing. "Fine, I'll help you guys just this once."
She said motioning us to follow her. Luna started jumping from joy as Hiu had a smile across his face.

"I used to work with Akio for many years. Akio wasn't always bad. He was a happy young man when I first meet him. I helped raise him when his parents were out of the kingdom making alliance with others. He was a very cheerful and caring boy. Always helping clean up after a failed poison. After he turned 16 his parents died in a storm in the middle of the ocean. That's when it all changed... Well... When he changed. I couldn't really tell you what happened but he stared getting very aggressive with everyone including me. I tried reasoning but it only got worse. He started kill everyone in the Kingdom so that's when I had to control him with my magic. I made a poison that would turn his heart white and make him fall asleep. I thought that the spell would keep him there forever but it's seems that he's been released by someone else." She explained to us.

We entered the second room where there were many poisons and bottles of almost everything! You name it, it was there. "The arrow that Akio threw might have been that has Yamikoro (Midnight heart) which is a spell that makes the victim turn the opposite of their emotions and personality. For simple what's good tunes evil and what's evil turns good. You've only got till the full moon which I presume when he's going to marry her. After the moons light shines on Sakura. She's permanently stuck there forever... " She said picking up different bottles and funky liquid. My heart dropped.

She meet in the middle were there was a big pot under a fire and started throwing everything in carefully. "This won't hundred percent break the spell but this will help her find herself. The rest will be up to her to break free. Just get her to drink it and it'll do it's stuff." She poured the light blue mixture into a small glass tube.

"Luna, please don't get I to anymore trouble and be careful. He's a dangerous person and not in the best state. Go help your friend!" Akio said passing the poison to Luna. Luna smiled. "That's Auntie kiyoshi, I'll stop by again! Don't worry we'll be fine!" She hugged kiyoshi.

Kiyoshis attention shifted to me as so smiled. "And you, blackberry..."
Did this old hag really just call me blackberry. What is up with people calling me that.

She laughed at my reaction and patted my shoulder. "Good luck and go get her back." I awkwardly blushed and coved my mouth. "Thanks..." I said.  We said our good byes as we the three us went on our way to save Sakura.
