Chapter One: Tsunade's Mission
Beep Beep Beep. 'Shut that alarm clock off, or I'll take over your body and tell everyone your secrets!' Inner Sakura threatened with all her might. 'Fine, but I hope you know they're your secrets too.' I countered shutting off the alarm. 'You think you're so smart, but did you forgetthat only you can see me because I'm your imaginary friend?' Inner Sakura asked crossing her arms. 'No you're the part of me that I keep locked away so that no one can see it.' I thought back getting ready for my day.
I knocked on Tsunade's door hoping she wasn't drunk. "Come in!" she said a little more sober than I thought she would ever be. I walked in standing in front of her seeing that all her paperwork was done and bottles of sake were not lying on the floor. 'Who is she and what has she done with our sensei?'Inner Sakura screamed gaping at the miracle she saw before her. "Tsunade- sensei what would you like me to do today?" I asked still surprised at what my sensei did to her office. "I have a mission that I can only trust you with Sakura." she said looking sad. "What is it sensei?" I asked worried for her. "It's an O- class mission for you and you won't be back for a very long time." she said while her eyes started to glisten. "O-class? I've never heard of that rank before." I said puzzled.
"O- class missions are missions usually preformed by Kages, like with Naruto's father Minato when he sealed the Nine Tailed Fox, and on these missions the odds of people returning or living are so slim that it's almost impossible." she said while a few tears fell down her cheeks. "But Tsunade I'm not a Kage, and" "You defeated Orochimaru, brought Sasuke back to the village, and killed an Akatsuki member Sakura! You are practically above Kage level, so I can only trust you with this mission!" she said banging her fist down on her desk breaking it.
"I don't know if I can do this sensei, but when will I be leaving, what's my mission, and how will I get back?" I asked worried that I'll never see beloved Konoha again. "Your mission is to keep an eye on Sonic the Hedgehog, you'll be leaving tomorrow, and only he or Shadow the Hedgehog can bring you back with what they call 'chaos emeralds', so report to me weekly if you can. Do you understand?" she asked me seriously. "Yes Tsunade- sensei I understand." I said know understanding why she was so upset. 'Why is sensei crying, why are you crying, who the heck are Shadow and Sonic, and what the heck does she mean?' Inner Sakura asked confused. 'What did you not understand?' I asked furious with my inner self. 'She lost me at Sasuke, you remember when he tried to kill us when we were bringing back?' she asked making me remember.

"Put me down Sakura! Since you killed my sensei I can't kill Itachi!" he said trying to get out of the ropes I had him in. "Would you shut up? You're really starting to annoy me and you're lucky I didn't kill you on sight, because right now he only thing that's keeping me from killing you is Naruto." I said stopping to take a rest. I set him down near a tree and I sat beside him. "If you don't let me out of here I'll kill you!" he said squirming against the ropes. "Yeah right tough guy, and how are you going to do that?" I asked smirking watching the show. "Because the real me is right behind you." he whispered in my ear as the shadow clone Sasuke poofed away. 'Oh crap! I have to fight him all over again.' I thought dodging his katana. I made hand seals and shouted, "Multi shadow clone jutsu!" Twenty Sakuras fought Sasuke while I hid in a tree dipping a senbon needle in tranquilizer. Poof poof poof caught my ears when I turned to see that Sasuke destroyed all of my shadow clones but two. I shot the senbon at his shoulder and made a bull's eye. He fell to the forest floor paralyzed, when I hopped down from the tree he was giving his famous death glare. "I thought you were supposed to love me, and be weak." he said trying to take back control of his body. "Sorry Sasuke, but that girl died when you knocked me out and set me on a bench three years ago." I said before knocking him out.

'Yes I remember, when I told Naruto he laughed so hard he cried and then some. Oh yeah and Tsunade pretty much said that we might never return to Konoha, and we have to spy on a hedgehog.' I explained hoping she would understand. 'What? Does she hate us or something?' she shouted running around. 'Would you be quite for once in our lives?' I asked fed up with her after 19 years of her stupid questions. "SAKURA!" Tsunade shouted waving a hand in front of my face. "Yes Tsunade- sensei?" I asked after she pulled me back into reality. "Did you get all of what I just said?" she asked crossing her arms.
"No sensei. I'm sorry." I said a little embarrassed. "I said when you go there you'll be a hedgehog too, but you can still use your chakra, weapons, and medical skills." she said watching my face sternly. "What?" I shouted nearly fainting. "You're still going on the mission though Sakura, I'm sorry." she said the sad expression returning to her face. "I understand sensei." I said leaving her office.
