A/N:I just wanted to say I'm still figuring this out so I hope I can get the next Chappie out soon. TY!
Disclaimer:I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!!
Spoilers:Um... I don't think there are any... Unless you don't know who Karin, Suigetsu, and Juugo are. (If you don't, seriously, stop reading here!) I made it so Sasuke had killed Orochimaru and Itachi. No "Crush Konoha" crap.

She ran through the dead of night as fast as her chakra infused legs would carry her.
"I gotta' get out of here before it's too late!" She thought. "If I don't get out of here then-!"
"Why the rush?" a figure in front of her hissed. "You said you were here to finish us off. Or were those just empty words?" He gave his trademark smirk, although nobody could see it in that lighting.
"Please, don't hurt me!" She cried. Her dark hair waved in front of her. She didn't bother brushing it away since she knew it wouldn't matter in a few moments.
"I'll try not to, though I can make no promises." He stated calmly. "Well? Aren't you going to finish me?" He stretched out his arms, as if inviting her to strike. "Or did I hurt you to bad?"
"Why are you doing this? Why don't you just kill me?!" She choked.
"Lord Orochimaru taught me to play with my food before I eat it. But, I'll spare you the pain." He said, his eyes glowing with pleasure. He drew his Katana. "Look closely for this will be the first- and last- time you will see the coveted Sharingan." His eyes swirled from their feelingless black to blood red. Her eyes widened as the Katana fell.

She sighed as her short pink hair swirled around her. It was late, maybe 11 o'clock, but she didn't care.
"Thank goodness she thinks I'm on a mission, otherwise my mom would kill me." Sakura thought. She wasn't really on a mission, but out camping alone. Her mom would have said no because she thought it was "dangerous." Being a ninja is a lot more dangerous than camping, if you asked Sakura. She laid down. "It's so nice and peaceful here." She thought calmly. "The only thing that could make it better would be if I could stay longer." She sighed. "Only one day, that's it. Not two, only one. Why am I needed so much in Konoha?"
"Because you're a medical ninja. That's why." Her Inner Self replied. Sakura made an inward scowl.
"Thank you captain obvious!" She thought angrily.
"Fine, I'll leave you alone. That's kind of hard though, since last I checked, I'm you."
Sakura rolled her eyes. All she wanted was peace. Just one night of peace. Her eyes slowly drifted shut as she fell into a peaceful sleep.

She awoke the next morning with a start. She looked around frantically. "I could have sworn I heard someone. I must have imagined it. But just as a precaution…" She muttered as she pulled a kunai from her pouch and slipped it stealthily up her long red sleeve emblazoned with a white circle.
She got up slowly and stretched carefully so the kunai wouldn't slide down her sleeve, then walked over to the tent. As she changed her shirt, she thought she heard someone whistling a tune. She poked her head outside to find nobody there.
"This time I'm sure I heard someone." She thought. She zipped the tent and finished changing, then stepped outside. She quickly folded up the tent and started the trek back to Konoha.
-X-
He poked his head out from behind the tree he was hiding behind. "That was close" He thought relieved. "If I had seen the tent a second later then I would have been found. What's Sakura doing in this area anyways?" He looked out at her walking down the path. "Wow, she's changed! I mean, look at her!" He scanned her body from behind the tree. "Well it's been four years since I left, so she must have changed! I didn't expect it to be so drastic though." He thought. "I better hurry and get back to the compound before Karin decides to file a missing person's report." He sighed as he silently slipped away back to where he and his team were camped.

"Oh my God Sasuke! You had me worried! Where were you?" Karin ranted.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I was gone fifteen minutes. Stop acting like you're my girlfriend because your not."
Karin looked surprised. So did everyone else. "What?" Sasuke asked.
"That is the longest sentence I've ever heard you say!" Karin gasped with tears coming to her eyes.
