NEW STORY. I came up with this on the spur of the moment, and i can tell right now, there will not be many light or happy parts here. This is going to be a darker story. It will also not stay in Sakura POV forever. actually, this may be the only part where it is, because i hate her with a burning passion.

Haven't decided on a name for 'the man' yet, but it has to have meaning. I'm open to suggestions XDD

BTW, this title is translated from japanese as 'Demon World.' You'll understand why next chapter.

And no, they will not be coming to the real world. It will be another world i've made up XD.

enjoy!

Sakura gasped, blood bubbling from her mouth and down her cheeks as her eyesight grew dim. She was… dying? Her head turned slightly to where she could see Naruto, propped up against a nearby wall, his head lagging to the side and his bright gold hair coloring his eyes. His shirt was ripped open and showed four huge gashes, all of them seeping blood, dark bruises surrounding his neck where he had been choked.

Sakura turned her head the other day, feeling more blood bubble up from her mouth as a result of the kunai in her chest. She knew she didn't have long, but if she could find Sasuke and heal him… Maybe he could save them all. Naruto was too far gone. He would be dead in a matter of minutes.

Sakura gasped as she caught sight of ebony eyes, staring blankly at her face, slightly misted over. Sakura fought down a sob as she saw a long slash across Sasuke's throat, not deep enough to instantly kill him, but deep enough to be fatal, and so that he would die a long slow death.

A foot landed in front of Sakura's face, making her jolt and cough more blood. He was back. Sakura's eyes closed. She hoped that he would finish them all off soon. She didn't know how much more of this she could take.

"You all failed." A deep voice said, rumbling and reverberating in Sakura's ears. She didn't say anything, but she heard Naruto's breath hitch and a growl from Sasuke's throat. The boot nudged Sakura's forehead. "Don't ignore me. I know you're all alive."

"I have a proposal to give you." The voice said. There was a rustling of cloth and clicks of rocks. Her eyes opened and she saw the man bending down and rolling Sasuke's body over so he faced the sky. His face was screwed up in pain and Sakura whimpered at the pool of blood on the ground that was left behind. "You have failed in this world, as you failed in the last, and in the one before. And as I have told you before, I will not let any of you rest until you finally beat me." Sakura saw him step over her.

"Face up, girly." He grunted. It didn't sound like an order, but Sakura felt as if she was compelled to face forward. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man grab the collar of Naruto's jacket. Naruto cried out in pain, his breath becoming more labored and ragged as he was dropped into a lying position next to Sakura.

"So, in this next life, I'm going to give you back your memories. Not from the last lifetimes. Those are gone forever." He said. He nudged Sasuke's now limp body closer to Sakura until she could feel his fading body heat against her arm. "But you can keep the ones from this lifetime."

"No one will notice if a few more extra's show up in their world. But when you wake up, it will be your job to survive." He continued. He was dropping something red onto Naruto's forehead. Probably blood, Sakura reasoned. She saw Naruto's face begin to relax. "And when you figure out the rest of what your supposed to do, find me." The red stuff was being dropped onto Sakura's head and she began to feel her mind slowing and her eyesight disappearing faster than before. Her whole body was growing numb. "Find me, and kill me." The man moved to Sasuke, dropping it onto his forehead and staying still as he looked at all three of them. The three original members of team seven. Dying at his feet.

The last thing Sakura heard was the man's fading voice said was: "Welcome to the Demon's world."

And... that was it. This is really just a prolouge. I was gonna say something else here, but then i forgot. I'll try to keep this one up as best as possible. I'm still at a road block for my other story 'What to Say', but i'm really focusing on 'Photographs' and 'Our Street of Gold' and i'm hoping to have new chapters for those and this one sometime before the end of the week.

review please and tell me what you think! XD

And while your at it, look up 'Blue Stahli- Corner (the luna sequence)' on youtube. I downloaded it and listened to it the entire time i was writing this (on repeat)
