Fade in on a forest at night, moonlight filtering through the trees. A body lies prone on the ground.
She stirs awake, looking around to get her bearings. She was there with wet lab coat over her equally wet top and Skirt. She checks her cell phone, its faceplate shattered. Lying next to Sakura is her purse, and a trauma kit.
What’s going on? she thinks. Where the hell am I? Sakura cautiously makes her way through the forest, thinking this out logically I was definitely in the car crash…
She spots torchlight in the distance and is encouraged at the sign of life, "Excuse me! Excuse me!"
She called out limping to the source of light But it’s a strange scene she stumbles across, because a bloody swordfight is under way.
"What's this?" She mumbled from behind the tree. Sakura wonders if this is a movie set and walks closer, curious but unafraid. Not until a rider on horseback charges at her, just barely missing her. That's because of the hand that shot out pulled her from the arrow's way.
A surprised gasp left her mouth on sudden jerk. She turned around to face her Savior and the first thing the noticed was pupiless, lilac eyes. The only thing visible from the metal covered body.
(A/N: The costume ^^)
Those lavender eyes stared from the heeled shoes to her uncovered legs to her pink hair.
"Who are you?" His voice was deep but monotonous.
Sakura just stared, unable to comprehend what's going on. After her lack of response, the man lifted the blood soaked sword to her neck.
"I asked who you were." There was a coldness in that empty voice that send chill down to Sakura's spine and not the good one's either.
"Excuse me. What is happening?" She said once she found her voice again. She didn't noticed that other people who are dressed as same as the man in front of her, have gathered until one of them pointed out.
"She is wearing different clothes from them but she is still suspicious."
The man holding bloody sword to her neck spoke again, "If we arrest and torture her. She can tell where the rest are hidden."
A scoff was heard. All the pair of eyes went to now seething Pinkette, "What did you say?" There nothing but disbelief and anger in her tone.
The lilac eyed man turned to the soldiers, "Tie her up!" He barked. The soldiers took out their swords and start to advance at Sakura.
"Wait a second. Why are you like this? Who are you?" She tried to get away from his hold. Without a second thought, she raised her heeled foot and slammed on the man foot. Fortunately, he was not wearing any metal. So, his hold on her loosened as he lost his footing and fell.
"Sir!" The soldiers turned their attention to the fallen male. Taking the advantage of the situation, She turned around and ran like no tomorrow.
"Did you not here me! Hurry and catch the woman!" He snapped at soldiers.
"Yes Sir!" The soldiers ran after Sakura.
Sakura ran faster than she ever did in her life in those cursed shoes. She hears the footsteps and understood that she can not out run them. She jumped to the nearest bush, completely hiding herself. It was almost dark.
She held her breath as a soldier walked in from of the Bush she was hiding.
"Not here. There is no path. Let us go that way!" She let go of her breath as the footsteps fadded. Sakura felt her her vision blur and blinked but as the adrenaline washed off, she felt herself slip of the consciousness.
Sakura's eyes snapped opened. A screams was erupted as she saw the two heads hovering over her. Two women grab their ears from her screech and jumped back. Sakura, too jumped back, gasping as she felt her heart would burst out of her chest.
"W-who? W-wha..?" She choked. The two women stared at her like she was alien being. They were pointing at her clothes and whispering to each others with the scandalous expressions on their faces.
Sakura rubbed her face, "Excuse me?"
The two women went silent.
Sakura ran her tongue over her dry lips, "Where am I?" The women shared a look.
"Konohagakure." One of them answered.
Sakura's brows frowned, "Sorry? Can You repeat that?"
"Konohagakure." She repeated louder.
"Konohagakure...Isn't this an old name of Konoha? But it was like three hundred years ago...." She mumbled under breath. Her eyes at posibility of her situation.
"What's the date?" She asked urgently. The woman answered her, tilted her head.
"Date? It's 11th year of His Highness Emperor Fugaku-sama took the throne." She turned to the other woman then both nodded in confirmation.
Fugaku, as in Uchiha Fugaku, The first Emperor of Uchiwa dynasty! Sakura paled. She slumped on the ground, she was sitting unceremoniously.
The two women stared at her again. Both of them were staring weirdly.
"Are you perhaps foreigner?" One of them questioned.
"You're robbed by bandits have you not?" The other woman gasped.
Sakura just sat there, trying to process whatever the hell has happened.
"N-no...I'm from the future." Sakura hear herself say in panic.
The woman shook her head with sympathetic expression, "What a sad world....Some people just don't get sound minds..." The other woman agreed.
Something caught her eyes. It was her purse and Trauma bag. She quickly got up and grab them, "Excuse me-" but was cut off by her stomach growling.
With a embarrassed yelp, she wrapped her arms around her middle.
The women blinked, "Poor child. Come to our village, I might have some spare bread...Come." She helped Sakura up and drag her along with her things. And the other woman followed.
Sakura gave a grateful smile and followed her.
