Chapter 56: Angel and Goddess

The first thing Sakura thought when she came to was the last thing she saw before she lost consciousness. She thought she must have been hallucinating from the sudden drain of adrenaline. She thought the angel was from her dream or a figment of her imagination. But when Sakura blinked her eyes open, she finally realized it was no dream nor her imagination.

Sakura tried to sit up but her head pounded. Despite that, she still tried to get up from the bed she only realized she was laying. The room was spacious and the walls are a combination of white and gray as well as the furniture. There are several paintings on the wall and there are at least a dozen origami resting beside the picture frames on the table. There is no door and Sakura noticed the railings and the stairs leading to the ground floor. The whole second floor is the bedroom.

"Where am I?" Sakura asked herself as she looked about. She knew this place wasn't Sasuke's penthouse nor their room in their residence. Everything was unfamiliar to her from the ceiling down to the bottom of the floor covered in white Persian rug.

It seems thinking too much had cause another wave of headache as Sakura massaged her temples only to notice her wrists wrapped in clean bandage.

"Someone treated my wounds?" Sakura looked down on her wrist and slightly pressed her other hand around it. It doesn't hurt as much as it did before.

"It seems you're awake."

A voice of a woman startled Sakura as she flinched and looked at the direction she heard it from. There, standing not too far was a woman, her short hair dyed in dark blue as it was held by a small paper rose on the side.

"You're the angel," Sakura whispered as she stare at the woman in front, her beauty almost seem ethereal and Sakura was almost lost as she stare at her.

"Or not," the woman said as she chuckled before she started to walk towards her.

Sakura shook her head and stood up, ignoring the small pound in her head as she stood on guard in front of the woman.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked, watching the woman warily as she stopped and sat on a couch.

"I'm not going to convince you to trust me," she said, her voice calm and composed. "But please, sit down. You've hurt yourself earlier."

"How did you find me? And why did you bring me here?" Sakura asked, the entire situation seem fishy and Sakura is not gonna take her chances and drop her guard down in front of her.

This woman might have treated her wounds but Sakura doesn't know if she's an enemy. Besides, she still doesn't know why the woman was there in that place to begin with if she doesn't know Sasori.

So with a quick decision, Sakura turned around and opened the cabinet beside the bed where Sasuke always keep his gun and Sakura actually saw one inside as she took it. The woman doesn't seem surprise even as Sakura held it at gunpoint.

"Do you know the man who kidnapped me?" Sakura asked.

"Sasori? Yes, I do know him."

"Who are you?"

Sakura's heart sped up, she has the faintest idea of who the woman might be but she will not be concluding anything until she hears it form the woman herself.
