“There Was a Woman”
— Cities Fall,
Worlds Fall.
But Nothing Falls Forever —
—End of the Old, Beginning of the New—
A woman sat in the back of the cage as cries and screams surrounded her. Her short pink hair covered her face and the green nail polish had already half-faded. She sat in ripped jeans and a blood-stained shirt as arms jabbed her sides and people peed in the floating cage in the sky led by an army of magic-wielding strangers. Sakura Haruno could only stare silently as the cage rattled and some began to fall asleep permanently. Hoards of humans were locked in this enormous cage — Captured. When their city fell.
She tried not to cry as her green eyes grew dim in rememberance. I hope they’re still alive…
It was only a few weeks ago when their city was attacked and a bunch of them were captured. They came out of nowhere. A portal. It was stuff of sci fi and she was the cannon fodder.
Sakura gripped her arms hard. There had to be a way out of this…
“Mom…Dad…Everyone…Please. Please be safe.” She was heading to class when she was taken. People hovered in the sky as they threw down flashes of light and swords. Who didn’t die got captured and thrown in caves. Just the day before, Naruto and Hinata were celebrating on getting their first post-college job offers. Their parents held a party.
Everything was great.
Until it wasn’t.
It all happened so fast. But it’s not over yet, Sakura. There’s a possibility…they’re --
SHUT UP!
Once more, she went through her mantra as her darker alter ego began to whisper. Push through. Push through. Be Stong.
What seemed like days or hours later, she couldn’t keep track as she lost track ages ago, the cages started to float down.
“We’re here! All prisoners line up!” Sakura was the last leave the cage and as luck would have it, there was only one cell open at the moment. The guards all laughed at her as they told them to change into the prison uniforms and forced them down the halls.
The guards threw her to the ground and laughed as she hit her head with a loud thud. “You will be stuck with Prisoner 00. Be careful he doesn’t eat you, little girl. The last one’s head got cut clean off!”
Shit my head! Sakura clasped her head as she moaned. She’s lived in the city her whole life. She could cook and clean and ran every week. But she wasn’t a fighter and she never liked camping so just from the journey alone, her body was full of bruises.
She hissed to herself, “Bastards. They stuffed us in cages and whipped at us. They’re humans too! What kind of people would do this in the 21rst century?!”
She stopped herself when she finally took in the scene. They were led into a dungeon and this cell was the the last one at the end of a long corridor. The people next to them came from the cage that held her, but no one wanted to speak to each other much.
After a period of silence, she got the guts to look at the Prisoner 00. He was chained to the wall and there was nothing. No toilet, no bedding. Only a small blanket with holes. The pale man sat shirtless despite the growing chill and he had lean muscles. Silver hair rand down his back. His eyes were closed as he just sat in silence as if he were meditating in a temple instead of trapped to a wall. One scar came down one eye and a black mask covered half his face.
