My Little Raven: Dark Rebirth

Chapter preview

Sakura pov

I was right in the middle of a lovely dream about Sasuke and I when the sharp breath taking pain flared threw my stomach. First it caused me to sit up, something wasn't right and being a medical ninja I would have been able to tell. After a few more minutes it faded away. "Mom you ok?" Came a soft whisper from Sarada who sat in the window sill. She was so much like her dad in that way, "Everything's fine. I'm ok. Why aren't you asleep?" I asked even though I could tell. Looking back out the window she replide with, "I miss dad....that man we saw today wasn't him."

I felt her pain. When I looked into his eyes today I didn't see the man I used to love, I saw the cold hearted man who I spent so long chasing. Extending my arms out toward her I motioned her to me. Coming in for a hug we sat there in each other's embrace, we both had lost something precious to us and we both wanted it back.

Pulling back she took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. Kissing her forehead, I smiled and said, "Get some sleep. Tomorrow we'll try to figure out where they went. Before this is over we will her your father back, that I promise you." My words fooled even myself for a moment. Did I think we could get Sasuke back? No. Am I going to do everything in my power to try? Of course I am and thankfully I'm not doing this alone. Sarada, Shikamaru and Karin would help me.

Hours passed before everyone was up and about. Stretching, Shikamaru looked over at our red headed teammate and asked, "Any reading on Sasuke's chakra?" Closing her eyes the Kinochi focused hard, I could feel the chakra swirl threw the air. Just as quickly the wind started, it died. "No. I still can't get a reading on his chakra, I even tried searching for the others but no luck."
"What about this Nyx person?" I asked while trying to hide my disappointment. "I think I remember." Shikamaru spoke up.

We headed out of the village while Shikamaru told us the story he had read a few years ago.
