a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none

Melodic music fills the ear of a girl who hears better than most and that alone is what snaps her fully alert. When she last thought of her own free will, there was a battle raging on around her with no time to think of the simpler things in life like music and friends she'll never see again. There's no familiar warmth of chakra that belonged to another and Kakashi--what happened to him? So many unanswered questions plague at her mind, but the most important of them all? Where was she? Normally she might be able to pick up on a powerful Genjutsu before, but this didn't feel like anything she's studied before. Her body felt unlike her own as she felt something sink to the bottom of her stomach.



    [ VIDEO A: EARLY MORNING ]
I don't understand. [ An onslaught of helplessness plagues Sakura and so when the PokeGear is nudged on by accident (she doesn't bother to treat her "belongings" carefully since they aren't her own), she's unaware that the scene is being shown live to so many others. ] This isn't supposed to be... None of this makes sense... I need to return... Naruto--[ The name spoken with more worry and fondness than ever before. ]--just hang on.

[ All of these phrases come in broken and cut abruptly at times, the pack shifting with her movements. When it jerks suddenly and pops out from the pack being placed roughly onto the ground, there's a teenager girl who looks more worn than anything else (those dark spots under her eyes aren't doing much for her looks) clad in a green vest staring down at the PokeGear as though it were a foreign object. To most newcomers in New Bark Town, it usually is foreign. ]

This is? [ Shaking her head, she picks it up and places it back into the pack without knowing any better. A shout for her attention though might keep her from dismissing it entirely. ]

    [ VIDEO B: EVENING ]
[ Once Sakura's discovered more about this world (as well as the inevitable "no escape" aspect), it is only appropriate that she gives a more proper introduction. This time though she's without the scratches and scrapes (they're just covered up by her hair and bandages) and she's changed into a fresh pair of clothes. Also of note is the fact her hair is loose with nothing holding it back now, no for now she looks like more peaceful than she did this morning. Holding the PokeGear, it seems she's at least aware of it's purpose now. ]

Hey there, I'm new to this place so I'll ask for your patience in advance if that's alright. My name is Sakura Haruno and there's no need to explain the situation to me--I understand. [ Boldly declaring her name? No, she just knows the PokeGear gives away her full registered name anyway so there's no point in concealing it. ] We're all stuck here no matter what's going on back at home, but if there are theories as to how we can return, let's hear them. I have the time.

[ Plenty of time now, she might add if it didn't feel attention seeking in any way. ] Curiously, do people talk about where they come from here? I'm interested in hearing about other villages if you're not too busy. Huh, that's kind of a personal question too, isn't it? Sorry, sorry. [ Waving her free hand apologetically. ] Been a while since I've had a normal conversation so I'm acting all weird. Anyway, it'd be nice if someone replied to this... anyone, anyone at all really.

[ While she did start off headstrong with her broadcast, by the end of it her voice cracks to indicate how feeble she really is. There's a reason she's not outright traveling like most do on their first day. Behind her is a small room with an ordinary looking bed--an indication that she's retiring somewhere within the starter town for the evening. ]

[Sakura Haruno, hm? That name rings some bells.]

Well, I don't know if I can give you any information you haven't heard from the others by now, but it would be pretty rude not to respond. [She's joking, Sakura.

Well no, it would be rude, but she's not implying that you'd make a big deal because how would you even know-- ... nevermind.]


I've only talked to a few people here, no really in depth conversations about other worlds, but they don't seem to mind too much, either. I wouldn't worry about it being too personal a question, not here.

[ Oh what pretty hair.

But she's speaking as though they're familiar with each other and that leaves Sakura confused. So far she's met people who don't know her, not the other way around. ]


That's a relief. It'd be unfortunate to offend someone on my first day, miss--?? [ The pause is hopefully enough to draw a name out, right? ]

[Kufufufu! What a discerning eye~ Okay no that's creepy. But if Kushina sounds like she's familiar it's strictly because Naruto has probably talked about Team Seven at length by now. Still, she's looking forward to getting to know both of his teammates (and his third teammate and captains if she gets a chance) directly.

Ahh, but have a SOMEWHAT sheepish grin.]


Oh, right! Sorry! Kushina Uzumaki! It's nice to meet you, Sakura Haruno. [Since she'd given her full name in her initial post, there's no harm using it, right?]

Uzumaki?

[ Bwuh? ] You know... Naruto? [ Yes, she's saying her son's name with some affection. After hearing what he's said on the field of battle, she might do the same.

... Well, if she wasn't his mother. Oops. ]

That's right. He's my son. [Said with no small amount of pride, though maybe just a touch toned down, just a touch. She certainly didn't miss that tone of Sakura's and it gives her an incredibly good feeling to know that their son has touched people enough to have them speak his name in such a way.]

Your son...

[ The thought leaves her breathless. ] Naruto said that he was with his parents, I just never thought I would meet--[ She cuts herself off. ]

Sorry, this has been a long day.

You don't need to apologize. It's alright. This place can be a lot to take in at once, and that's aside from whatever might be going on before you show up here. I understand.

[Aw Sakura she already likes you. That will probably only grow when she sees the extent of your spunk.] Have the others managed to fill you in, or are there any questions I can take a go at answering for you?

[ Hopefully so; meeting Naruto's mother and possibly traveling with her will be one of the greatest honors of her life. Even more so when they double team the blond boys... ]

I think I'm starting to get the swing of things. [ Truth be told, she's already got most of it figured out, but finds it better to feign otherwise for her sake. An adult who's alive now might find solace in helping the younger generation, but Sakura's capable even if she won't. ] There's a lot, but what do you think? Have anything that's important someone may have neglected?

[Heh heh, they won't know what hit 'em. And she's already looking forward to getting to know Naruto's friends-- not to mention it should be exciting getting to speak to members of the next generation all on its own.]

Hmm, hmm... [She'll give that some thought. Something they might have neglected...] I'd imagine that Minato, Obito, and the others probably covered the important stuff already, but there is a place here that gives free Pokemon to new arrivals. If you take them up on it I'd probably recommend one that can help you travel or train. [Honestly, she'd love to feel as though she were of some help but she hasn't been here as long as the others, and she's certain that Obito is probably already filling her in.]

Has Naruto or one of the others already offered to come get you?

[SHE EXPECTS NOTHING LESS.]

I think I read about it somewhere, some kind of nursery right? I'll look into it and see if there's anything of interest.

[ Once she finds out they're eggs though, she might be less reluctant. Can't be so irresponsible with a baby Pokemon. ]

Oh, Naruto mentioned it yeah... [ Looking off to the side. ] I don't really want to be any trouble for him when he should be spending his time with you.
