A Chance at Redemption

-:|Losing Herself|:-

Posted on: 20/10/16

A/N: So..um...I don't think anyone remembers this tale. I guess most of the readers have already lost interest. But let me tell you, I was just so out of it. I just didn't feel like writing these past two months but now...I'm here... How? Well, lets just say my younger brother punched some inspiration into me XP (literally).

A brief Recap:-

It is finally revealed to everyone that Sakura is going to marry Sasuke. All the members of FoK are trying to guess why she did that. Everyone trusts Sakura except for Tenten and Samui, who change their thoughts after a hearing Darui's speech.

Meanwhile Deidara and Sasori are talking to Sakura, when suddenly Kabuto enters and seals Sakura's chakra using a sealing technique and binds a snake-like bracelet on her left wrist.

Sai tries talking to Sasuke about the suspicious marriage and Sasuke is irritated by this. He even calls Sasuke a blank canvas who will make Sakura one as well.

So here's the 10th chapter-------->

"Every passing moment...

I keep losing.....the bright aspects..
...of my being..."
-Sakura

Chapter: 10

Sakura let out another sob full of emptiness and betrayal. Emptiness because of how void she felt after Kabuto blocked her chakra points and Betrayal because immediately after the completion of the aforementioned task, both Deidara and Sasori exited the room with the snake-look-alike of Orochimaru. It's as if they had been talking to her just to divert her mind from what Kabuto was about to do to her. So, they had never intended for a casual chat with her in the first place. From the very beginning, distracting her was their top priority. They were just trying to fool her into getting caught in their hands and thus, lose all her strength. And voilà, now she doesn't even have enough chakra to crack a wall. Great!

Another tear glided down her porcelain cheeks and she slumped near the window in defeat. Resting her face in her arms folded above her knees, she continued weeping. Just how much will she have to endure for the sake of the Hyuga Clan? She has already been stripped off her disguise as Dr. K. Minamoto, been unceremoniously married to her ex-teammate by a plain declaration from their tyrannical Hokage and now, even deprived of her chakra. Only God knows what's next in store for her!

A click was heard and she felt very faint shuffling of feet inside the room. Maybe it is Kabuto, who has returned to check if his chakra-blocking technique is properly working on her or not? Or maybe it is some other of his re-animated shinobi puppet, who has come to make fun of her and enjoy their time? Or maybe someone else...

As she went on shedding tears whilst guessing about the identity of the other person in the room, she felt it. Even in her weakened state, she still felt the flare of that enigmatic chakra. She'll be to moon and back but will never mistake that dark presence. Sasuke.

She lifted her head and came face-to-face with the man she has been betrothed to. She doesn't want him to see her like this- so vulnerable and..pathetic! Of all the people, she doesn't want Sasuke Uchiha to see her in such a weak stature, lamenting about her fate. And yet here he is, watching her.

It is surprising to find him eyeing her with an intense glare. It is as if he is having an inner debate with himself right now about whether he should kill her or not. What have I done? She thought to herself.
