A/N: As if there weren't enough time travel fics, here's another one! Enjoy, loves~

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, as it was created by Kishimoto and I'm still just a kid who can't really do much with her life other than read the series and fap over it constantly.

My Soul, Your Beats!

With the flash of a bright light that enveloped the two of them, Sakura Haruno and her teammate Sai were transported elsewhere. But could they find a way to get back to where they belong?

"What does shishou know?"

Sakura angrily walked off, away from the Hokage's residence. It wasn't too often that the two of them got into arguments, and when they did, it usually wasn't a big deal. But this time was different; it made Sakura rage with anger and she only wanted to concentrate her chakra into her first and reach over the desk to punch Tsunade straight out of the office.

"Damn you, Tsunade-shishou!" she cursed into the clear day. Although she wasn't watching where she was going, she maneuvered herself through streets and people, sending out curses as almost every person passes by.

As Sakura made her way across the entire village, finally at the training grounds, she failed to notice the raven-haired boy calling at her. "Sakura-san!" he called out, running after his pink-haired teammate. He noticed a series of tags—are they explosive?—that created an arch, the way they were placed onto the trees Sakura was about to walk past. She walked closer and closer to the point, oblivious to what was going on.

The tags began to shine brightly; they're not explosive at all. Sai ran quickly to reach her, screaming "Sakura-san, Sakura-san! Wait!" He managed to catch up to her as she walked between the glowing tags. But as soon as he touched her shoulder, the bright light of the tags grew inward, enveloping the two shinobi in a blinding brightness.

In a second, it was over.

Sakura stood, looking around curiously. "What the heck was that?" she said, touching her throat after hearing the high-pitched sound that came from herself. She rolled her eyes and continued to walk in the same direction. Nothing seemed to change, nothing happened—the bright light came as quickly as it went.

Sai hid behind a tree, walking his teammate walk off. The world felt bigger somehow, but he didn't want to stand around and wonder why. "Ugly!" he called out to Sakura, getting her to stop in her tracks and angrily turn her head around.

Her angry face turned to surprise as she saw an almost-short, black-haired boy with the cute face of a child.

He watched her hair being blown by the wind. Sakura's face was a little more childish than the last time he saw her. Her hair grew down her back, unlike her short cut from only a few minutes ago.

The two of them stared at each other, taking steps closer. "Sai?" she asked. "You hag," he replied.

But what the hell exactly happened? the teammates thought simultaneously.

"Ugh, whatever!" Sakura stomped her feet, feeling her once perfectly-fitting sandals shift around her ankle and move from under her. She grabbed Sai's hand and pulled him back toward the village's main streets. "Just don't follow me, please!" She cringed at hearing her own voice, which was a lot more annoying than how she sounded less than an hour ago.

"Where are you even taking me?" asked Sai, his voice cracking in the process. The pinkette chuckled slightly before realizing her own hand was interlocked with Sai's.

She pulled her arm away and blushed. "Fine, just follow me, do whatever the hell you want." She was still angry, and her words came like a bad rainstorm. She shook her head, her pink hair taking a while to follow along and slowly move around.

"But where are you going?"

"I don't know!" replied Sakura, suddenly bursting into tears. She looked at the ground as numerous tears flowed from her eyes and down her face.

He took a long look at her. She's even uglier when she's crying, he concluded. Sai put his hands on her shoulder, leading her to what he had known as her residence. Instead of walking inside, she leaned against the door and sat down. She couldn't quite remember the words of her shishou anymore; it's like they were part of something distant.

Numerous people walked past the duo, giving long stares. Finally, a young woman with beautiful hair and stunning red eyes came up to them. "Aren't you a bit too young to be wearing that?" she asked, pointing at the forehead protector that Sakura had cleverly placed as her headband.

Sai raised his eyebrow. "Too young?" His voice sounded a lot more feminine than it should be. The artist quickly looked around and was able to see a bit of his reflection in the doorknob behind him. 'Crap,' he whispered before turning back at the woman.

"I'll have you know that I'm si-"

Sai cut off Sakura mid-sentence. "Yes, we are. Forgive us, we just found mother's forehead protector and couldn't wait 'til we get our own!"

The woman beamed at the children before her. "Ah, you two are ninja in training!" she replied in a sing-song voice. "But it takes a lot of work to gain one of those." She pointed again at the forehead protector.

Sakura looked confusedly at both the tall woman and Sai. "What the heck?"

Sai knitted his eyebrows nervously. "Yes, it surely does! We should be putting it back now, right sis?"

Mother? Sis? Sakura asked herself. What the hell is Sai doing?

He looked at his "sister" and ordered her to open the door, waving goodbye at the woman that was slowly walking away from them. As soon as Sakura turned the knob, Sai pushed her inside and held onto her shoulders. He led her to what he knew was her room and pushed her in front of the mirror. The kunoichi's eyes widened after looking at herself. Her attention moved quickly from her appearance to her bedside table, which was suddenly missing her photo of Team 7. She looked through her drawers to find the old blue cloth she used to have her hitai-ate attached to before she replaced it. In its place, she found the red ribbon that her best friend, Ino, had given her before they became rivals.

"What just happened?" Sakura asked, trying to recollect her memories from before she walked off from the Hokage's residence.

"Do you expect me to know everything, hag?" Sai replied with an inappropriately fake smile. His face turned serious. "We should inform Hokage-sama of this."

Sakura rolled her eyes at the idea. That was the last thing she wanted to do. But she couldn't say 'no' to the idea and risk being questioned by Sai. "Fine," she answered reluctantly. "But we can't wear this." She motioned at Sai's loose-fitting normal clothes and her own loose-fitting shinobi wear.

"What do you plan on doing, then?" Sakura smirked at his statement, already making her way to her closet. She pulled out one of her yellow t-shirts and a pair of white shorts and handed them to Sai. For her own clothes, she picked out a light pink vest with a yellow undershirt and a white skirt.

As they both changed into Sakura's clothes, they took long looks at each other. Sakura took off the pink vest and tied Ino's ribbon into her hair. "We can pass for brother and sister!" she said in a light-hearted tone, completely forgetting her anger toward the Fifth.

"Wouldn't it be easier to say that we were boyfriend and girlfriend?" replied Sai, remembering what he read from a book.

Sakura's face turned red at the thought. "N-No! Absolutely not!" She quickly ran out of her own room and made her way to the front door, Sai following slowly after her.

"Hokage-sama," they said almost simultaneously, knocking three times on the door in front of them.

"Come in," replied a deep voice that Sakura recognized.

The two young shinobi walked inside the Hokage's office. Sakura blinked back tears and her smile grew wide. "Sandaime-sama!" She rushed to the desk of the Third Hokage.

He gave her a long stare before smiling back. "Ah, yes, Haruno Sakura-chan." The old man looked over at Sai, not recognizing him at all. "And who are you?"

"I am Sai," he replied with a fake smile.

Sakura wiped the tears from her eyes. She turned back at the raven-haired artist. "Oh, Kami, Sai! He's alive!"

"Sakura-chan…" He lifted his Hokage hat to show his eyes more. "Shouldn't you be in the academy right now? You still have about a year left of education there… Although I don't believe your friend there is enrolled in classes."

Sakura's jaw dropped. Shit, she said to herself as she pieced the information together.

A/N: Next chapter coming soon, I promise. And I know this is badly written, sorry! – Also, yes, the title is from an Angel Beats! song, My Soul, Your Beats! by Lia. The titles of chapters will most likely be of Girls Dead Monster songs.
