Sakura woke
up to unrelenting nausea. Her mouth felt as if it held ash and paper instead of
tongue and teeth; even swallowing scratched at her tender throat. She tried to
move, but there was a weight in her, as if she’d slept under the mattress
instead of on it. Her limbs felt heavy and numb, foreign to her.«You can touch me, too.»
A faraway
voice echoed in her mind. Sakura dismissed it sternly.It must still
be very early. The faded light that filtered through the thin curtains had a
soft hue of rose, but it was still harsh enough on her eyes to make her want to
bury her face in the sheets.Gathering
enough healing chakra to slowly dull the ache in her temples, she sluggishly
placed both hands on her painful head. A few minutes went by, and much of what
remained from her hangover was a dry mouth and that lingering heaviness. Water, she needed water.Sakura tried
to prop herself up. Something hindered her movements; she was being held, more than merely weighed down
by wilted limbs.«You can use all of me…»
It was then
she began to truly acknowledge her surroundings.An empty
futon lay on the floor just in front of her, crumpled and cold. Warmth
irradiated from the arm that rested gently upon her waist, and she could see
the marks and scars scattered upon it like constellations. The soft, steady
breathing on her neck was, only now, evoking shudders down her spine. Her pulse
darted immediately.«I… want to show you more. And… I
want to feel more.»
