Remembered Light (Naruto FanFic)

Chapter One

Third P.O.V

Sakura sprinted down the golden halls. Every footstep echos, every flicker of a torch makes her shadow jump. Memories and flashbacks echoed through her head as she slams a door open. Tears fill her eyes as an empty room met her gaze.

Sasuke. She continues to sprint down the hall. Determination fills her eyes as the tears dissapear. She throws open another door. "Nothing in here, either Yamato!" She shouts to her comrade.

They nod, then run further down the hallway.

Yamato stands just to the side of the door, and Sakura throws the door open. "Empty," Sakura sighs, pulling away from the door.

"Last door," Yamato signals to it. He stands by the doorway, and Sakura grabs the knob. She waits a half second, then throws the door open. 

"Empty as we--" A small whimper interrupts her sentance. "Wait! Someone's in here!" Yamato stiffens, then they both jump inside, prepared to attack. The sight that met their eyes was not what they expected.

A young girl, long hair covering her face, chained to the wall by her arms and throat. Blood was caked down her arms, on her clothes, she lay in a puddle of it. Two pairs of wings were pinned to the wall. The girl slowly looked up, looking none of them in the eye.

Sakura clasped a hand over her mouth, a half gasp, half moan of despair making it's way through her lips.

Keira.

Keira's P.O.V

I hung from the wall by my wrists, not even bothering to try and keep myself upright. I was in a small puddle of my own blood, old mixed with new. It was totally dark in the room. I heard footsteps, unusually hurried, and cringed against the wall.

Nomorenomorenomorenomorenomorenomore-- 

My train of thought was abruptly stopped as the door creaked open. "Empty as we--" I whimper quietly. Who was it? I vaguely recognize that voice, from once upon a time. I slowly raise my head, listening carefully.

I hear a strangled gasp, and the sound of a hand hitting lips. 

Keira, I hear someone think.

"Who is this to you, Sakura?" I hear a mans voice ask. I tilt my head in that direction. 

"Oh my Kami. Oh my Kami, Oh my Kami," The girl repeats over and over. I suddenly remember her. Images flash inside my head of a young, pink haired beauty. Ah, Sakura Harano. From once upon a time...

"Who is she to you? Who is she?" The males voice repeated. 

"Oh, Kami, Captain Yamato," So that's his name. "Captain Yamato, th-that's Keira Boukyaku. Sh-She was on team seven," Sakura stutters.

"You mean the one who was declared a rogue nin?" Yamato questioned. I heard Sakura nod. That's what they did? Just marked me off as a rogue nin, then Forgot about me?

"Well we have a mission right now, we'll come back for her," Yamato declares. "I'm sorry, Keira. But we'll be back soon, okay?" He asks. I don't respond.

"No!" Sakura rebukes, "I'm not abandoning my teammate! She's a Konoha ninja, we need to save her!" 

Yamato sighs, "True. I just don't want her to hinder the mission. Help me get her out of the chains," He orders. Sakura removes my wings from the wall, and I don't make a sound as she pulls out the metal pins. With chakra infused strength, she tore the chain on my left wrist apart. I didn't shake my arm or rub my wrist like some people might. I just huddled, folding in on myself, trying not to work myself into hysterics.
