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. ]

[ Looking forward to seeing her beat up his son?? ]

I think the music will be the hardest part. Difficult to listen in on who or what might be approaching you if there's something to drown it out.

Alternatively, it can be used to our advantage. A step with each note to mask our movements.

[ Her manners slap her back in the face and she nods again. ]

It'll be a pleasure to meet one of the greatest her--er--oh, you do know about that, don't you?

[It builds character.]

[And while he's pleased and impressed about what a good little shinobi she is...]

It's alright, I'm aware.

I don't believe my student is though, I haven't talked to him about it yet. But everyone else...

[They were all from after his time. It's not something Minato was actively looking to talk about though, that night still fresh in his memories, the last thing he'd experienced before ending up here.

Being fairly open about it helped, oddly enough. Most people wouldn't press for details out of politeness.

[ Nodding. ] I understand.

I carry a lot of secrets with me right now. [ She adds as though it could alleviate his burdens or maybe she's implying that he isn't alone like this. ] It'll be hard, but we were conditioned to do so.

If you need to, um, if you need someone there for you...

[It's not really something that came up in everyday conversation. Obito did know, but neither of them had said anything to the other and honestly... for the time being it was better to simply enjoy each other's company than to talk of things that couldn't be changed.

Minato wasn't ready to make shish kabob jokes like his student did about his own death.

It's kind of you to offer, thank you. And I extend the same to you Sakura.

[He wouldn't be taking her up on it though- Minato didn't truly open up to very many, despite his tendency to be, at times, a little emotional. But the returned offer was still sincere, even if he thought she might feel similarly about it.]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[ He's right in thinking that. Sakura might slip up every now and again (with the kind of anger spats she had, it was inevitable). For the most part, her mind is steel. ]

I'm going to get that rest now. Take care.

Of course. You too.
