My Snippets: Part 2

Covert Intentions

A tall figure rounded the corner and stopped within a few feet of her thereafter. Shrouded by the shadows, it made it nearly impossible for her to see him clearly, but Sakura got the feeling that staying in his presence... for any length of time... would be detrimental to her. She frowned, refusing to acknowledge or respond to his (seemingly) teasing jab, and studied her surroundings for a means of escape.

Feeling the sharp blades at her hip gave her an idea, and she slowly lowered her hands to reach for one. She'd just toss it at him and while he was distracted she would shove past him and race out the door to her freedom. "I wouldn't do that if I were..."

Grab. Fling.

"... you." Her jaw dropped in astonishment when the knife she'd flung only seconds prior hovered in mid-air between them. The moonlight cast his hand in an ethereal glow as he held it up, using his powers to stop it before it had the opportunity to penetrate his skin. "Tsk. So annoying. After what I did for you... maybe I should have let them take you away."

"I-I...," she stumbled over her words as she stood there in shock. "I-I'm sorry..."

"Hm. Save your apologies for later. Now, we need to leave. More of those soldiers are coming this way," he said while tilting his head to the side. "And I have a few questions for you, before I decide what to do with you." Sakura suddenly felt her cheeks heat as rage consumed her. How dare he say such things. How dare he think he had some sort of... claim on her or something. How dare he—

The stranger stepped forward into the light and the sight of him nearly took her breath away. He was without a doubt the most handsome man she'd ever seen. Dark hair, dark eyes, pale skin, tall stature, well-chiseled features... with a strong body—

"Perfect."

"What?"

"N-nothing," she stammered and glanced away, her blush darkening. "What do you want with me anyway?"

"For starters, I want to know where you got that from..," he indicated with his head toward her chest where a necklace lay securely against it. Sakura unconsciously reached for it and ran her thumb across the golden medallion... noticing that his eyes followed the movement carefully. "But first we need to find shelter." He tilted his head away from her and only moments later a swirling mass of darkness began to materialize in front of them. Her breath hitched.

"Teleportation!" He nodded and she tried to step back. "No way," she shook her head in disbelief. How strong was this guy to conjure a portal with what seemed like very minimal effort? Her back pressed against the bricks behind her and she was having a hard time breathing. Her palms began to sweat, and she pressed them against the wall for a means of support... fear crippling her into a semi-frozen state. He held out his right hand towards her, tilting his head to meet her widened gaze.

"Come."

"Hell no!!!"

"I saved you," he stated, as if this obligated her to believe and follow him into the unknown. He sighed, but his hand remained outstretched when she didn't move. "If I wanted you dead, you'd be a corpse. If I meant you harm you'd be covered in injury, miss. Now... come along. We don't have much time." Still, she remained unmoving. Having finally lost all patience with her, he stepped forward and reached for her, wrapping his long fingers around her bicep before tugging her forward.

Survival instincts finally kicked in and Sakura began to flail about while simultaneously trying to push him off of her but his hold was strong, and she was unable to break free of it before he had shoved her in front of him.

With one final look, he pushed her into the black hole and she screamed as she was sucked away into the unknown.

Thoughts/ideas:

So, the idea behind this one is that Sakura has stolen a powerful medallion in hopes of using it to save her family, but Sasuke's family is the rightful owner of the medallion and there is a magic concealed in it that has the capability of either saving or destroying the world.

(His clan is at war with others who wish to use it to destroy the world, the medallion was stolen from them, while Sak's family is cursed and the magic locked within it is the only known cure.)

Sasuke must protect Sakura now that she is the "owner" of the medallion until he can find a way to transfer ownership to himself. Along the way, they encounter many dangers & Sakura almost dies multiple times; but they fall in love and Sakura ends up "sacrificing herself" for him & the world by absorbing the magic; but his clan use their powers to bring her back & she ends up fighting alongside him to beat the "final boss"; both saving the world and curing her family's curse.

I hope that makes sense lol
