Sakura's POV (Dream)

I opened my eyes to find myself in a weird dream. But I didn't know what kind of dream I was in. It was like I was standing in the middle of nowhere. It also dark, like it was nighttime. In the distance, I spotted someone near a single cherry blossom tree. It was Misaki!

She was wearing a white gown as her hair blew in the soft breeze while her hand was placed on the tree, small cherry petals falling over her. "Misaki?" I said as I walked over to her. "Misaki." I said again. She turned her head and looked at me. "Sakura." She whispered.

"How are you here?" I asked her. "This is a dream, Sakura. I am here because you want me to be here." She said calmly. I blushed. "No, I don't!" I defended. She stared at me emotionlessly before turning away from me.

"Hold on. Misaki, how long have you been granting wishes?" I asked. "Hmm... About... Almost a month." Misaki answered, slowly.

"How many wishes have you granted?"

"...About... 367 wishes, if you count the wishes from humans as well."

"Then... What is your wish?" I asked. She turned her head and looked at me with an emotionless face.

"You've been granting all these wishes for other people, and I wonder... what your wish is?" I said. Misaki continued to stare at me. "Can't you grant your own wish?" I asked. "I cannot. It's something beyond my power. It's impossible to grant my wish." Misaki said with no emotion as she closed her eyes. 

I gently took her hand. "If you have a wish that you want granted, then let me grant it." I said. Misaki opened her eyes, but her face still didn't hold any emotion. It was like she was unamused.

"A human cannot grant a demon's wish. How can they? It's impossible." She stated. "I'll try my hardest, so please tell me your wish! Let me grant it!" I said, persistently. Misaki's eyes widened slightly, shocked at my plea.

She smiled gently before taking a few steps forward. She hugged me gently. "That's very sweet of you, Sakura. Thank you." Misaki said softly.

I opened my eyes. That was all a dream. I sat up and looked at the time. 4:20 AM. I sighed and looked at my hand before my eyes widened. In the palm of my hand, was a cherry blossom petal. But... that was a dream... right?

(Morning) Misaki's POV

I was wolfing down my breakfast, not taking a second to breathe. Guess what my breakfast was? If you guessed meat, then you're right. "Is that all you eat?" Azazel asked. I didn't respond as I kept wolfing down my meat.

"MIsaki, take a breather, would ya? You're gonna choke." He said. I stopped eating and drank down a whole bottle of sake, then went back to wolfing down my food. "You're gonna choke." Azazel repeated.

I ignored him and kept eating. He sighed. "How'd you sleep?" He asked me. "I slept fine." I answered. "Although..." Azazel looked at me with concern. "I had a weird dream last night." I confessed. "What kind of dream?" Father asked.

"I don't know. Can't remember." I said quickly before returning to my meat. He and Azazel sweat dropped. When I finished my plate, one of the servants took it away. "Thank you for a great breakfast, Father." I thanked.

Too bad it's my last. I reached for the sake bottle that my brother had in his hand. "Oh no, you don't, Misaki," Azazel held the bottle high over my head.

I started to jump and reach for it. "You're not getting this until dinner." He said. "Don't be so mean, Brother." I said, jumping on to his arm.

'I won't be able to wait until dinner, seeing how I won't be eating with you and Father. Today is the last day we'll get to spend time as a family' I thought.  "Tired." I said, letting go of his arm. "I'm going to my room to lie down." I informed before leaving the dining table.

I closed my eyes with a smile as I walked to my room. 'Brother. Father. Cerberus. Thank you for all that you've done for me. I had fun. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for giving me the ability to fly again. I'm grateful. Sadly, this must come to an end. This is goodbye, my family. I love you all' I thought.

When I got to my room, I closed the door, then went over to my closet. I used my powers to open the door and there was my outfit. The last outfit I'll wear.

After I put on my outfit, I went over to my dresser. I faced my mirror, then pressed a button near the drawers. A secret entrance was revealed from the mirror with a swirly dark and blue portal. This was my secret entrance into the Human Realm.

"So long... My family." I said, putting on my hood before going through the portal. 

I entered the Leaf and found myself standing behind a row people watching the exams. I spotted Sakura with Ino. I went over to them and tapped Sakura's shoulder. She turned head to look at me. "Can I help you?" She asked.

I motioned her to follow me. Sakura got up from her seat and followed me. When we were in a spot where we couldn't be disturbed, I faced her and took off my hood, revealing myself. "Misaki?!" She said in surprise. I smiled at her gently.

"Did you come to watch the matches?" She asked. I shook my head. "I came to say goodbye." I said. "What? What do you mean say goodbye?" Sakura asked. "Sakura, remember when I said I saw my death when I got my wing back?" I asked.

She nodded her head. "Well, this is the day when I die." I said calmly with a smile. "What?! No! You can't die! You just got your memories back! You haven't done all the things you wanted to do yet!" Sakura said as she grabbed my shoulders.

I tilted my head down slightly with a closed eye smile as I gently placed my hands around her wrists. "I'm sorry, but this has to happen. I must save everyone." I said calmly. "Save everyone from what?!" Sakura demanded.

"Orochimaru. He'll be arriving shortly and we will kill the Third Hokage. I must prevent that from happening. Even when it costs me my life." I said as I opened my eyes. "No! I won't let that happen! I didn't even get to grant your wish!" Sakura said.

I looked at her with shock. "My wish?" I repeated. So, then the dream I had last night was real. I looked past her as I noticed Sasuke and Kakashi in the arena. This is it. The moment where Orochimaru attacks.

When Sasuke and Gaara started their battle, I was still with Sakura. "Sakura, I want you to go back to your seat. I don't want you to get hurt." I said. "But what about you?" She asked. "I will be fine. But I need you to do as I say." I told her.

"I'm not going anywhere when I know you'll be in danger, too."

"I'll be fine."

"But you'll die!"

"I do not care. All I care about is protecting the people I love. That includes you, Sakura."

I heard Gaara scream from the arena. I looked at Sakura with a frown. "Sakura, I'm not joking around. I need you to leave this place now. You're in danger." I warned her. "I'm not leaving you!" She argued. I looked to my right when I noticed a white feather.

But there aren't any birds around. Oh, this is a genjutsu. "We're too late." I mumbled. I scooped Sakura bridal style, then leaped to a roof of a random house. "Stay here." I ordered as I set her down. "But-"

"No excuses. Stay here. Please." I said with a serious look. "OK." She replied, staring at me. I gave a nod, then leaped back to the arena. I saw Sound Ninja attacking Kakashi and Gai as two genin were by Gaara.

"Lord Hokage." I said as I looked where he was. I immediately leaped to where he was. "Lord Hokage, get away from the Kazekage." I ordered. "Misaki? What are you doing here? What are you talking about?" He asked.

"That's not the Kazekage! That's Orochimaru!" I warned. "What?!" The Hokage looked at the Kazekage as he began to chuckle. "You have a wise student. But of course, I wouldn't have expected much from a demon. Isn't that right, Misaki?" The Kazekage said as he peeled off his face, revealing Orochimaru.

I frowned at him. "Shall we dance, Orochimaru?" I asked. "Confident, are we?" He asked.

"Very."

"So be it."

"Lord Hokage, get out of here. This is my fight." I said to the Hokage. "No, Misaki. I can't allow you to do this!" He said. "It isn't your decision, sir." I muttered. I grabbed the Hokage and flung him into the arena.

Orochimaru did a hand sign and created a force field around us. "I suppose you wish to fight me without any interruptions." I assumed. "You catch on quickly, child." Orochimaru commented. "I'll make you pay for hurting the ones I love." I said, frowning.

With that, Orochimaru and I attacked each other without mercy. Stabbing each other and throwing punches at each other. Technique after technique, we were hurting each other in any possible way. However, neither of us were refusing to give up.

I transformed into my demon form and began to fight Orochimaru again. I didn't know how, but Orochimaru still had plenty of energy. 

After fighting for two hours straight, I was panting. I transformed back to my angel form and fell to my knees with my hands in front of me. "Feeling tired already?" Orochimaru taunted. I lifted my head and glared at him.

"You will not... harm these people!" I snapped at him. "On the contrary, I've already have." Orochimaru said with his arms crossed over his chest. I looked behind me and gasped at the scene. Three or four big snakes were terrorizing the village.

Breaking down buildings left and right, people dying or being crushed by buildings. I wanted to cry. "No..." I whispered. "Do you still think you can save everyone?" Orochimaru asked with a smirk. My hands clenched into tight fists.

"Yes... I can!" I said. I stood up and faced Orochimaru. "Hanishikokiem Makiem." I murmured. I quickly grabbed Orochimaru's wrist. "You're mine now." I said, smirking. A dark shadow emerged from my chest as it started to surround the two of us.

Orochimaru tried to pull away from the darkness, but it kept pulling him in. "You worthless, little brat! What do you think you're doing?!" He demanded. "Saving the humans." I answered. "This is not a jutsu, Orochimaru. This is simply the end for both of us." I explained.
