Delicate Blood

Quick sketch of future jounin Haruno Sakura.

Hello lovely and wondrous followers,

I know it’s only October but GaaSaku Month 2015 rapidly approaches! Since January will be here before any of us knows it, I’d like to make my first formal request for any ideas/requests any of you guys have for prompts, activities, challenges, theme, etc.!

I’m going to be an absolute bitch right now and scam you all out of a new oneshot by posting something that’s only up on ff.net and has been so for almost a year now. (So please excuse any mistakes- I fixed what I could but I really want to start fresh with the idea. Also why I’m posting this to see how it’s received.)

MUST READ:  My reasoning for this? We all know Sakura was a little…unstable in the first half- a voice in her head, the mood swings and temper…her obsession with Sasuke. I wanted to expand on that, see what would happen if things went a little differently with her.

Inner Sakura- my theory with this is that inner focuses on what is on Sakura’s mind, latching onto it and running wild. Sasuke was always on her mind during the first half so…yeah; we get the inner Sakura we all know. But in this, Sakura was pondering a few different things- so she’s giving Inner completely new fuel to run wild with. She did it with Sasuke, why wouldn’t she do it with something like this?

This isn’t a happy story so don’t expect a happy ending.

This is about Blood, Pain and having to fight for what you want.

This is about making hard decisions, about Sakura losing herself and struggling to glue the pieces together.

But most of all? This is about an 8 year old who signed herself up for a future she didn’t understand- this is about 12 year olds made to kill.

About lost innocence and what death can do to a young mind.

(CHAPTER 1)

"…One day I’ll be conquered by a wily voice and eyes And my tomb will be the stage where Great cities rise;

And the queen will be dead, long live the queen…” ______________________________________________
