"To think, that the boy who loved everyone held nothing but hatred for me in his heart."

Spoke the Puppet

"To imagine, that true loyalty meant swords and daggers with jagged edges."

Spoke the Demon

"To learn, that even the prettiest of packages can be cursed."

Spoke the Murderer

"I was born a demon with a halo. I lived as a murderer without a collar. Yet alas, I died a puppet with too many strings."

Spoke the Mistake

A sudden whirling of breath breaks the silence.

"Haruno Sakura, should you die no one shall weep over your body. Not a soul will be there to help you should you stumble. Not one person will wipe away your tears or treat your wounds. You are a shadow."

"Haruno Sakura, you have been charged with treason, to yourself, the village of Konohagakure and to your friends."

"Haruno Sakura, you have been summoned before this council to swear that you will complete your mission no matter the cost."

"Haruno Sakura is dead."

"Your sacrifice will always be remembered,"

Whispered a monster that could only love itself.

"The best warrior Konoha ever produced,"

Sobbed a mother doomed to lose all her children
"A best friend,"

Cried a blond with a red ribbon grasped in her hand.

"A lover,"

Said a silent shadow of it's former self.

"A medic,"

Declared a former victim.

"The damned best person I ever met,"

Spoke a traitor.

"A sacrifice,"

Sighed the pervert.

"A murderer,"

Signed the spectator.

"A tragic loss,"

Bemoaned the snake.

"My teammate,"

Mumbled the broken avenger.

"SAKURA-CHAN!"

Screamed a cage with barbed seals.

"May she rest in peace,"

With that a mentor and mother carved a new name in the stone of lost souls.

Deep within a forest far away from the village hidden in the leaves awoke a demon. Pink hair glistened with unspoken terror as a blank slate lays prone before it's master. As green eyes flutter open to regard a face covered in scars a voice marred by war declares a greeting, "Welcome to this world, Kami no Machigai. I hope you enjoy your stay."

AN:

Alrighty! Here's a bit of a preview of what Strings is going to be looking like. The first chapter should be getting posted relatively soon.

Btw this is the rewritten version of Sakura of the Puppet Strings but yeah this will probably be a completely different story due to the plot developing faster than I had planned.

Anyways I appreciate any and all feedback :)

Regards,

The Beloved Maniac
