Acceptance

" Lavi! Did you hear that!? " Allen was alarmed and ready for a fight.

" So it wasn't only me!? Come on! " Lavi, Kanda, and Allen ran to the girls room seeing a wolf three times bigger than a normal wolf in the wild.

" Please! Stay back! She's only dreaming! " Akami stood up shaking Lenalee off and ran to Sakura pinning the wolf down. With a scream, Sakura transformed back holding Akami, scared.

Akami hummed a song calming Sakura's nerves. Allen gaped at hearing the tune. Lenalee stood up.

" Are you two ok? Was that Sakura's Innocence? " Lenalee went to stand by Allen and the others. Akami continued humming the song ignoring them as Sakura slept not dreaming but resting peacefully

" Let her sleep, she can never sleep without having that dream. Those people will pay for what they did. I'll do it myself if she can't..." Akami spoke as she held the sleeping Sakura.

Sakura talked in her sleep making Akami smile.

They've had it hard, going through this each and every night...Allen thought as he watched them. Akami soon fell asleep holding Sakura staying in the protection pose never relaxing.

" She fell asleep? How can they sleep after something like that? Che. " Kanda looked away.

" How can you be so cruel? " A woman's voice came from behind them. It was the old lady.

" What do you mean ma'm? " Allen looked confused by her words. All she did was shake her head and handed them couple hundred worth of cash

" It's what the girls took, I want them to have it. They managed to get it by their own. Sure it wasn't the best or proper way, but they worked for it. Give it to them. " The old lady finished speaking and walked away.

In the morning,Akami woke up. She looked at the sleeping Sakura and put her in a bed. Smiling Akami left the room, as she turned around the corner she saw the cops and ran back to the room. Sakura was gone.

---------------------------------------------

"Where did Sakura go?!" Akami screamed when she bursted into the boys' room. Lenalee was there as well.

"Sakura? Wasn't she with you?" Lavi said, a confused look on his face.

"Do you think I'll be here screamin' my head off at you guys if I knew where she went?!" Akami shouted, letting her accent slip out a little.

"No..."

Sakura walked, straying off into the forest near the hotel. She did not know what overtook her but she had a sudden urge to come here.

"Anybody there?" Sakura called out. Of course no one will answer, Sakura thought, this is a forest for god sake!

Surprisingly, someone replied. "I do not know if others are...but I am. "

A young girl landed in front of her. As Sakura reeled back in shock, she took in the girl's features.

The woman, looking 2 or more years older than her, had silvery white hair that ended at her waist. When the woman looked up with her amber eyes, Sakura averted her gaze, making her see the blue Cresent-shaped tattoo on the woman's shoulder.

Seeing it made Sakura gasp and remembered about her own tattoo located on her back. She never knew how it got there, but maybe this woman would. The girl seemed to have seen Sakura's tattoo too, as the smile on her face become wider.

" So, the prophecy is true for I am standing before it." The woman said.

"What do you mean?" Sakura replied cautiously.

"My n-" She wanted to complete her sentence, but got cut off.

"Sakura!!! Where have you been?" Akami yelled at her.

"I was just- huh?" Sakura turned around to see the woman gone, but not before hearing, "My name is Kira. We will find you soon Sakura, just you wait..."
