Two years had come to pass since the fourth great ninja war. After the defeat of Akatsuki all ninja villages had reunited and became devoid of all conflicts that they had towards each other. After many hundred years, peace had finally graced the land. Things had begun to take shape towards good in village hidden in the leaf as well. Naruto had proven himself to be the future hokage of leaf with his selfless heroic acts during the fourth great ninja war; he is now being adored by everyone who looked down upon him. Everyone had found happiness and peace they longed for except "Sakura Haruno", Things have not turned out in her favor.... After the fourth great ninja war she left the leaf village to be with Sasuke... the love of her life.
That's all she ever wanted..., to be with him..., he was the man she loved all her life...
But Sasuke's overwhelming hunger for power and violence had blinded him from Sakura's love, in the end she was betrayed by the man she loved the most. It was too late when Sakura realized she was deceivingly blinded by her love for him. She didn't see it coming...
Sasuke wanted power more than anything else... during his search for power he had met with a creature that dwells in the bottommost pit of the dark underworld; a demon god who could bestow him with a great power to reach the pinnacle of his lifelong wish to become the greatest of all.
But the great power came with a hefty price to pay...The demon god had demanded Sasuke for a sacrifice in exchange of this great power. He wanted the most precious crown jewel of his life...
"Sakura Haruno".
Sacrificing Sakura to the dark god will grant him an unimaginable power along with eternal life...
Sasuke was torn between his own thoughts... his love and desire for Sakura and the hunger for power to become the greatest of all. In the end his hunger for power had gone beyond all else. He had sworn to full fill the demons desire in exchange of power.
He gave her off as a sacrificial offering to the demon god in exchange of unimaginable power. When Sakura had discovered his intentions, she was devastated and decided to leave him. Sasuke could not afford to lose this opportunity so he imprisoned her in a deep dark dungeon until the day of her sacrifice... She was to be kneeled and beheaded under the hunter's moon in three days during the summoning of the demon god...
His actions had shattered her sanity and driven her in to madness...
"SASUKE...? Why....?" She whispered while being curled up in the corner of the deep dark dungeon covering herself with an old rag. The dampness in the dungeon makes the cold worse at nights. She could hear nothing but the silence and the dripping of seeping water from the dungeon walls.
She sniveled and laughed hysterically, her voice echoed through the dungeon walls.
Sakura quickly stepped down from the ledge she was sitting and rushed to the big metal door of her dungeon cell. She thrashed on the door hard as she could with her monstrous strength screaming and shouting....
"LET ME GO.... LET ME GOOOOOOO... Please..." she cried.
She leaned against the door and cried helplessly. Suddenly some footsteps became audible and kept growing indistinct through the hall way. She quickly stood up wanting to see who it is through the small eye hole of the door.
It suddenly slides open and it was "Sasuke".
"SASUKE...! Please let me go... you don't have to do this..." Sakura cried yet his gaze stood cold and still.
"Why are you not speaking to me... tell me this is some kind of joke... I've been down here for weeks..." Sakura sniveled.
"Only three more days... then you'll be free..." Sasuke raised his voice in a very cold manner.
"Why... why does it have to be me...?" Sakura asked.
"It is the dark lords request... it all depends on what he wants, you will either be beheaded or tortured and given to him to be eaten alive... in exchange of your sacrifice he will grant me a power to surpass anyone in the ninja world... I'll be reborn as an immortal god who could hold the universe in the palm of my hand..." said Sasuke in a slow tone and then began to walk away.
"SASUKE.... SASUKE.... SASUKEEEEE...." She screamed wanting him to stop. He kept on walking few steps and stopped.
"Answer my question...? Why me...?" Sakura asked again.
"Because you are the one that who loves me the most... he wanted the most precious crown jewel of my life... It is you... "Sakura"" he said with a sharp exhale.
"You have gone mad... blinded by your hunger for power... once you have crossed in to the darkness there is no way of coming back..." Sakura yelled angrily.
"Perhaps... you are right my love... the only thing I ever wanted was to be the greatest and there is no way you could stand in my path to prevent me from archiving it..." Sasuke Paused.
"Is this what I get for loving you all my life...?" Sakura asked.
"Consider it a gift... or more like a honor... after all you said you will do anything for me... so now is your chance to prove it..." he said.
Sakura tried to pull open her cell's gate as hard as she could.
"Don't exert yourself... there is no way you can breakthrough that door... not even with your monstrous strength... These dungeons are built with a material which slowly drains all the chakra..." said Sasuke.
"You're a monster... a heartless monster..." Sakura said angrily.
"Heartless monster... you're right my love... a heartless monster it indeed..." Sasuke said with a smirk and walked away.
The night had fallen much earlier than usual and the hunters moon filled the dark night sky with reddish hue. Even though Sakura had already made peace with her grim fate, she still kept on looking for an opening for an escape. It was clear to her that there is nobody to save her this time. A deep regret was felt like a tug in her heart for loving Sasuke all her life.
The cell door had unlocked with a loud noise and opened slowly. Sasuke walked in to her dungeon cell with two other powerful female ninja's. He sees Sakura all curled up in the corner of the cell. They walked towards her slowly. She kept sitting where she is looking away from all of them.
"The day had come... tonight I shall set you free..." said Sasuke.
She smirked in a sarcastic manner.
"Stand her up..." he ordered the two ninjas.
They quickly walked up to her and dragged her to stand up by force.
Sasuke walked up to her and she looked away. He calmly grabbed her face from her chin and focused her eyes at him.
"Beautiful as ever..." he said.
She looked at him angrily and slapped him on the right cheek hard as she could. She kept breathing heavily as he focused his eyes back at her. Sasuke gently wiped his face in a calm manner.
"It's time... treat her like a princess... after all... she is my princess..." he ordered his ninjas.
"Very well master..." they said together.
The two female ninja's forcibly made her walk ahead of them.
They walked her out of the underground dungeon in to the topmost floor of the fortress.
They took her to a bathroom with a large bathtub in the middle. The entire room was sandalwood scented and lit with candles. One of them ordered her to stand straight and they stripped her naked slowly and got rid of all the dirty clothing. The other one led her to a bath tub filled with sandalwood infused water. They combed her hair while she was dipped in soothingly warm water and then they scrubbed her clean gently.
For two hours, they were grooming her with all luxuries, cutting her nails, trimming her hair after a combing. All she had to do was just sit and wait in the sandalwood infused water. They finished cleaning her without having Sakura to lift a finger.
After her long luxury bath, she was given a white ladies shirt and black pair of jeans to put on.
After she puts them on, they took her in front of a large mirror. Sakura sees herself from the mirror, she seemed more beautiful than she ever were. Her pink bob hair is brushed and set perfectly, eye brows trimmed, nails polished waxed.
"Is that me...?" She thought to herself while looking at the mirror.
"Ms. Sakura, what would you like to have for dinner...?" one of those two female ninjas asked her in a very sincere manner.
"I am not hungry..." Sakura replied.
"Very well... we are to remain here with you until the given time..." she replied.
"I just don't get it... he kept me trapped in a deep dark dungeon for weeks, now why all this...?" Sakura asked in a frustrated tone.
"You have been prepared for the sacrificial ritual which will take place tonight... your sacrifice will please the dark lord and grant our master with unimaginable power" both of them said together.
"He had kept you in the dungeon not because he doesn't care... he did that to keep you in control... after all, you're the one that master truly loves..." they continued.
Sakura smirked in a sarcastic manner.
"Well Sakura Haruno...? You stupid little girl... this is how you met your end... while everyone else enjoy life you gets beheaded by the man you love and eaten by a demon..." Sakura told herself while looking at the mirror.
Until the time of summoning, Sakura was kept in a luxurious comfortable room which was closely guarded by those two elite female ninjas. It seems like there are no openings for her to plan a getaway. She didn't want to do anything hasty because things could get worse if she tried to. Sasuke is no longer the man she thought he is... he has become a selfish monster who only thinks of himself.
Few hours go by...
Every time she thought of what was going to happen, she felt like hyper ventilating, so she tried to keep her cool as much as she could. Nothing came up in her mind; the fear of death had blinded her from seeing things through. She kept on sitting on the comfortable bed quilted with crispy satin.
Sakura grunts in an annoyed manner since those two female ninjas kept starring at her for the past couple of hours like two statues.
Suddenly the lock of the door began to turn with its mechanical noise echoing across the large room. Sakura gasped as she heard the sound. She knew that sooner or later Sasuke will appear in front of her... now she fears the man she loved the most...
As the door opens, the two female ninjas gave their attention to it. Along with a gust of cold wind, Sasuke stepped inside the room with his longish hair down wearing a dark blue cape over his suit.
