Okay, don't worry folks. I'll update my other stories soon, but first I gotta get this story out of my head.

On wit da show!


"Haruno-san, thank you so much for helping my son." A young woman said as she helped a little boy of the examination table. The little boy was sporting a bandaged arm.

Our favorite pink haired woman smiled at them both.

"Oh it was no trouble at all! Just make sure to be more careful when climbing trees Ryuu-kun!" she said to the little boy who was blushing at her smile.

They both left her office and her smile fell. Bad memories were starting to resurface from that little boy, specifically because the boy had black eyes and black hair.

Flash back / 6 months ago

She didn't like this.

She did not like this.

Haruno Sakura, apprentice of the 5th Hokage and in equal rank as a medic-ninja, for once in her life was very reluctant about working on her current patient. To clarify things, the current occupants in the room were herself, Naruto, new 'acquaintances' named Karin, Suigestsu, Juugo, and…

Uchiha Sasuke.

"Sakura-chan, I know you're mad but," Naruto began in English. Sakura's parents had taught her to speak English and she thought it would be good to teach it to her teammates, although it took a little bit longer to teach Naruto. Right now would be a good time to use it since Tsunade had ordered her to help heal Sasuke.

"Naruto, I'm not mad." She smiled sweetly.

"You're not?"

"No…I AM PISSED OFF TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PISSTIVITY!" she yelled back accidentally slipping back to Japanese. Sasuke and team Hebi looked at her in surprise, but of course Sasuke didn't show it.

"N-n-now Sakura-chan, calm down."

"How can I Naruto? I have a bad feeling about all of this. You we're looking for his ass for years and then he suddenly shows up outside of Konoha claiming that he wants to come home? Bull! He's up to something I just don't know what."

As she was growing constantly irritated, Sakura was wrapping the Uchiha's bandages a little too tight and it caused his face to scrunch up the tiniest bit. A certain red-head noticed this and fumed at the medic.

"Hey you bitch! Be gentler when you're handling my Sasuke-kun!" she screeched. Sakura glared at the girl who was foolish enough to talk that way to her.

"I'll do that when I start to give a rat's burning ass about you or your Sasuke-kun." She said as she mocked her voice. Karin shrieked in anger and threw a punch at Sakura and hit her cheek. Only, Sakura didn't move or even flinch as the fist hit her porcelain cheek. She just looked at Karin with disgust and a hint of amusement.

"Was that supposed to be a punch? Please, not even an infant would feel the effect of that."

With that, she took the girl's arm and flipped her against the wall upside down. The red-head slid to the floor and hit her head with a 'thud'.

"Next time, stay the hell out of my way."

"Ha-ha! Not bad pinky!" said Suigestsu. Sakura snapped her head in his direction.

"What was that?"

"Heh, I said not bad Miss Sakura."

"Thought so." No one called her pinky. She mentally sighed in relief as she finished with Sasuke's bandages. She was about to walk out and go to another patient when…

"Looks like you got stronger after all, but you're still annoying, Sakura." The raven said to her in English. She paused for a moment before speaking.

"Be sure to not do any severe sparring or you'll open your wounds again, Uchiha-san. And I'll be sure to send in a nurse with some ibuprofen for your headache." Sasuke raised a brow. He didn't have a headache-

He was suddenly smacked in the back of the head with the vase that was on the nightstand. He held his head in pain as Naruto yelped in surprise. He looked to see Sakura already out the door with a smirk of her own on her face.

'That outta teach that damn Uchiha! He thinks he can just waltz back here and expect us not to be suspicious? Che, hell will freeze over before I let him do that.'

Sakura was right…

The invasion from the Akatsuki was a surprise from everyone especially since Sound ninjas were there as well, but they were able to evacuate the residents just in time. While Naruto went off with Kakashi to fight Pain, Sakura made sure that everyone in the hospital was evacuated.

She was just about to leave when she realized that she didn't see a certain someone on a hospital bed or with the group that had evacuated deep inside Hokage Mountain. She was carefully trying to access why she wouldn't see him anywhere. Surely he couldn't have gotten out alone. After all, he was still in recovery as he claimed that he needed to stay one more ni-

Her eyes widened.

'THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!'

Of course! How could she not realize this sooner?! Since Orochimaru's death, sound would have needed a leader to still live on. And the only way that the Akatsuki could slip into Konoha so easily is if they knew how to get past the defenses. They just needed a spy! Sakura dashed through the city sending out wisps of chakra to help her sense her next victim.

No more chances, no more 'forgive and forget', and there sure as hell wasn't gonna be anymore, 'Come back home.' This was no longer his home. He was a traitor, menace, and a monster. He needed to be stopped, he will be stopped.

Sakura would make sure of it.

'Pathetic.' The Uchiha survivor thought as he walked away from the Elder's corpses. They admitted to forcing his brother into killing the clan and they all begged shamelessly for their lives as he tortured them. He smirked sadistically as he recalled giving them a slow and painful death.

He felt accomplished as he made his way to the hillside where he met a small group of his troops. He finally avenged his brother. He could rest in peace now.

The solders around him were pushed roughly to the ground as a figure viciously made her way towards him at a rapid pace. He turned around just in time to use his katana to block a kunai aimed for his neck. The kunoichi gracefully flipped over his head to deliver a kick to his side.

'YOU FILTHY PEACE OF SHIT!!!' Sakura roared at him. He smirked at her.

"So…you figured it out?"

"Hard not to." She said as she swung another kick at him as he managed to dodge. He reappeared behind her with his sword to her neck.

"Although, I wonder…" he trailed off as he pressed his katana into her neck a bit. He eyed the drop of blood that ran down her slimming neck. "Just what do you plan to do about it…Little Sakura?"

The woman in his arms 'poofed' away in a puff of smoke and he grunted as he received another kick to his side. He realized now that she was dead serious as he looked at her heated glare. Alright then, if she was being serious, then so would he.

Who knows how long they fought? It was such an intense battle, they both lost track of time. All they knew was that nether one of them was going to give up.

Sasuke used his sword handle to hit Sakura's stomach, knocking the wind out of her. While she was caught off guard, he lifted her face and made her look into his eyes as he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan. Inside her mind he had her tied to a large cross and proceeded to stab his sword into her stomach.

"This is my world, Sakura. You will suffer in it for 3 days."

After about 2 days in the Mangekyou world, Sasuke smirked at her state. She was covered in her own blood and panting loudly. She coughed a bit as she tried to get rid of the blood that appeared in her throat. She could barely feel her limbs as they had long before gone numb after the pain that she went through.

"You may have gotten a bit of training, Haruno, but you're still the weak little genin that needs protection," he whispered in her ear. Her eyes snapped open and she slowly began to make her glare intensify until there were several creases on her forehead.

"UCHIHA!!!" a voice roared. Said man paused in his actions as he came to realize that the voice did not come from his captive. He turned around and nearly jumped back in shock as he stared at a giant sized Sakura behind him. She seemed to be as angry as the original and had 'Inner Sakura' in Kanji sprawled across her forehead.

Only two seconds later did he have a giant fist come down on top of him. Inner Sakura picked up his limp body and held him in her massive fist.

"UCHIHA! IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF MY HEAD,YOU'RE GOING TO SEE HELL!!!" she roared as she crushed him in her fists.

"Arg!" Sasuke grunted as he was forced to skid backwards. The force of her mind caused him to stumble slightly as he regained his balance. He looked to see that the real Sakura was slowly rising from the ground while panting hard. She looked at him with pure hatred as they regained their fighting stance and resumed battle. They both barely had any chakra left and were now using Taijustu to continue their battle.

Sasuke was getting pretty tired. The Mangekyou Sharingan had taken a lot of energy and chakra to do, and he assumed that it would be simple to take care of Sakura using it. He didn't expect her to actually be able to break out of it. Although, he was sure that he could handle these last few attacks against her.

Sakura flipped back and started to focus her chakra into her hands and controlled her breathing. She saw Sasuke coming towards her with his katana and she avoided the blade and landed a hit to his arm. Sasuke's eyes snapped open as he felt the impact of the hit literally shatter the bones in his arms. Sakura turned again to make another hit to his remaining arm, rendering that one useless. She made one final blow to his chest, making sure that she sent extra chakra to ensure that the internal organs would be hit.

He stood there for a bit before finally, he dropped to his knees with blood flowing out of his mouth and he collapsed to the ground. Sakura stared at his body for a bit, finally processing that she had killed Uchiha Sasuke, her former teammate and her former love. She saw Team Taka come up and look at Sasuke's body in horror. Karin had tears in her eyes as she watched Juugo quickly lift Sasuke over his shoulder and flee and she quickly left with Suigestsu close behind. Sakura figured that they probably wanted to give his body a proper burial when a thought came to her.

What was she going to tell Naruto?

End Flashback

Sakura sighed as she remembered when she told Naruto what she had done. He was shocked at first to learn of such a thing but he soon appeared to understand her actions. Yet, Sakura still had this feeling that Naruto had never really forgiven her for taking the life of their former team member. She often questioned what would have been the outcome if she had not let her anger get the best of her.

She snapped out of her musings when she realized she was in front of the Hokage's door. Tsunade had requested that her, Naruto and, Kakashi come in to talk with her. She greeted her teammates and looked at her mentor, but was caught off guard from the grim look on her face.

"I am sure that all of you are curious as to why I summoned you here so abruptly," said the 5th Hokage. "I'll be sure to make this brief. A squad of Anbu coming back from a mission in a neighboring village reported catching a glimpse of a wanted criminal near the village. Since then we have secretly been on high alert so to not put the residents in a panic. I want you all to be on extremely high guard in case you are to come in contact with this criminal."

"Pardon me for asking, Tsunade-sama, but just who is this criminal we are after?" inquired Kakashi. The woman's face hardened as she took her time in responding. Finally, she opened her mouth to utter words that could shock all of Konoha.

"…Uchiha Sasuke."

Sakura could practically feel the color rush from her face.
