PS: I don't own Naruto .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura was on her way home from an last minute s-rank solo mission. As she landed on a tree branch she stopped to catch her breath and rest a little, she knew she had to keep moving if she wanted to survive. Her mission was to aid a small village outside of fire country that had been attacked by some rouge ninjas, but by the time she got there the village was already destroyed and the ninjas was already gone. She ran to the center of the village in hopes of finding the village leader when she ran into one of the medics in the village.
"Are you the kunoichi from kohana" asked the medic, "Hai" said sakura. " Then please follow me." said the medic. With that they both took off towards the hospital. "By the way I'm Masuyo" he said as he helled out his hand for her to shake " I'm Cat" said sakura since she couldn't tell him her real name because of anbu, she shook his hand as they continued to run towards the hospital. Sakura looked around the village as she ran and saw a lot of people hurt or dead most were in their homes to afraid to come out, as she looked ahead she asked " why would rouge ninja attacked this village?" "We believe they were looking for someone or something either way it go they attacked us any way, then they started demanding that we give up some group called Hebi or something like that. Then when our leader told them that we aren't hiding anybody, that's when the ninja told his men to attack anyone they see and interrogate them", said masuyo. As they continued sakura was thinking about what masuyo said about Team Hebi. She knew that if the rouge ninjas came to this village then Team Hebi should be some where close by. "Do you know if any strangers came through this village recently by any chance?" asked sakura. "I don't really know I normally be in the hospital, said masuyo. "Oh okay" said sakura.
When they reached the hospital sakura was greeted with chaos, people running left and right, people screaming, yelling, and crying. Masuyo looked at sakura then looked around and told her to follow him to the ICU were their leader was. As they walked in they were greeted by two medics. "Cat-san this is Kimiko-san and Hana-san the two medics who specialize in poisons and this is the medic form kohana" said, masuyo. As they nodded their heads. "so what happened to him?" asked sakura. When he told them that no one was in the village one of the rouge ninjas walked up to him and asked him how does he know if he's inside all the time, then leader-sama answered "we have ninja's all around our village and besides its to small to miss if someone or a group came through here." That's when the rouge stuck him with some kind of purple liquid in his neck, and that's when the fight broke out, said masuyo.
As sakura walked over to Saburou-sama, she thought to herself so he's the one that requested help from kohana she looked him over as Kimiko was telling her about the drug. "His body is slowly shutting down and his vitals are below normal, we got most of the poison out of his blood stream but some seem to have made its way to his organs and most of it is in his heart basically suffocating him slowly. As Hana walked over there to sakura she told her that he will probably had no more than two hours to live. Sakura was thinking about the poison that was used on Kankuro by the akatsuki it seemed liked the same kind of poison, but different in a way. As she placed her glowing hands over his body she noticed the the poison was breaking down cells and forming blood clots in his body causing it to cut off his blood circulation in his body. She knew that if she didn't operate know that there was know hope for Saburou. So she started telling them what tools she need and to get a bowl with hot water and some towels as she took off her gloves and prepared for the procedure. When she made the proper hand sighs she started the procedure while the others stood to the side watching in amazement. Two hours later Sakura had Saburou stable and turned to the other three medics and told them that "he will probably be asleep for about a day until his body recuperate from fighting off the poison for so long, said sakura. Hana walked over to the wall and pressed the call button for some nurses to come and move Saburou to a room till he wake's up. With that they left to go Masuyo office and talked for a while." Um, Cat-san can you tell us how you extracted the poison from leader-sama ?" asked Hana-san. "Sure." said sakura. As she showed them the proper hand signs she told them how to extract the poison and later on in the day she said bye to Kimiko and Hana-san as they went there own separate ways. While she and Masuyo walked the hospital giving Sakura a tour of the hospital. "It seems like everybody has everything under control", said sakura. Things were calming down, it was about 11:00 at night. "Well we have just enough medics to attend fix anyone's probably here I mean it is a small village," said Masuyo. They were walking out of the hospital when they came to a motel. "Well this is were I leave you for the night", said Masuyo "Here's the key and your room number is 104 second floor," said masuyo. Sakura nodded and took the key. "Goodnight masuyo-san", said sakura. "Goodnight cat-san and thank you for your help", said masyuo as he to turned to leave. "No problem", said sakura with a light smile as she turned to leave.
Sakura was in her room laying in her bed thinking about today's events when her stomach started growling and so she got up to go out and get something to eat, she hadn't really ate nothing since this morning. As she walked she looked around every thing was basically closed except one dinner that was about to close in 30 minutes. So she went in and ordered some takeout and went back to the motel and took off her mask. When she finished eating she set up traps around the her room then went to the bathroom, and ran some warm water in the tub while she undressed. As she bathed she laid in the tub she thought about sasuke. If Team Hebi was around here then that meant that sasuke is here as well. The last time she saw sasuke she was 15 and that was four years ago when he tried to kill her and naruto on a mission with her team. How can someone try to kill there own teammates or ex-teammates as sasuke would say and act like they were nothing to him. She loved sasuke but hated him at the same time. He always made her feel hurt and sad and called her weak so many times and annoying, when she was only trying to be nice to him and care for him. Ok I admit maybe I was a little irritating at times, but she deserved to be respected and not treated as the weak link. I will not let him get the best of me, thought sakura. I will prove to him that I'm strong and someone to be respected. As she got out the tub she put on her sleeping clothes which consisted of a clean pair of her anbu shirt and pants and with sasuke in mind she laid down in the bed and went to sleep.
As morning came sakura was saying her goodbyes and left the village ready for the days travel. When sakura was about 3 miles away she noticed she had some ninja's on her tale and decided to deal with them but they turned out be harder to beat than she thought. As the battle continued five against one she barley escaped with her life. As she later found out that they were the ones that attacked the village she tried to hurry it up. They were at least jonin level and up. As sakura killed off the ninja's she started to run she was out of chakra and she needed to get to kohana fast. That's how she ended up were she was know. As she landed on a tree branch she stopped to catch her breath and rest a little, she knew she had to keep moving if she wanted to survive there were more rouge ninja's following her and she didn't have the strength to defend herself right now, when she turned around to see if she was being followed, she released a breath she didn't even know she was holding. All of a sudden a breeze flew past her face as a kunai imbedded itself in the tree behind her she reached up and touched her face as she saw the blood on her fingertips and looked up to find who through the kunai and saw the last person she didn't want to see sasuke uchiha.
