Chapter One: The Weakest Ninja

(Sakura's POV)

I can't help it when I cry. I don't control my tears. Just like how I can't control Sasuke's feelings or actions. I miss him so much. He came back to Kohona when I was seventeen. He looked about the same just had more muscle and was way taller. Now my team is back together but there is still a feeling of lonieness. I still feel hollow inside. Is it because my need for Sasuke's love or my need for stength?

I woke up one morning to feel the cold breeze from my window. I always describe the cold as Sasuke's attidude or Sasuke's black lifeless eyes. I quickly took a shower, dressed and walked out the door.

It was unusally chilly that morning, but it is always that way when something will go wrong. I hugged my black coat tighter. It was once Sasuke's. When he left they was about to auction his clothes but I told them that I would take them. What was strange was he had a black cotton coat that went down to my calves. It was designed like a woman's coat too. What was even weirder was that it had a S stiched at the collar of the coat in gold.

When he first came back I was wearing it. His eyes popped out of his head. I offered it back to him but he said I could keep it. I hugged him and asked him who it was but he glanced over at me with anger. I was tooken back a bit. Then in cold words, colder than snow he said "My mother's." I fell but he caught me in his stong arms and held me there until I was able to walk. Ever since then I wear it every day.

I finally arrive at the bridge to find Sasuke sitting on the edge looking at the water. He showed me that he saw me by slightly nodding his head.

"What are you looking at?" I asked gently, trying not to get him mad.

"Hn" he said. At least I got a sound from him. That's all I wanted. He looked at me again and saw I was wearing the coat. He walked over to me and took my hand. I looked at him with shock.

"What would you do if I left the team?" he asked. I new where this was going. I looked down at the ground. Warm tears fell from my eyes. I hate my weak tears but I all I wanted to do was cry. Saddness engulfed my body.

"You was accepted as an AnBu leader, didn't you?" I asked with my voice trembling.

"Hn"

"What do you mean hn?' I screamed.

"Yes, I was." Hot tears fell on his hand. I let go of his hand and backed away. All of a sudden I felt two hands grab my shoulders. I turned around and saw Naruto in a cloud of smoke.

"What did Sasuke tell you? Today I was going to tell you something happy!" he said.

"Nothing Naruto. So what did you want to tell me?" he hugged me.

"I am going to be in the group that Sasuke-teme is leading! I'm in the AnBu!" he shouted happily. I broke the embrace and ran away. I kept running when I heard them sreaming my name. I didn't look back. I held my coat tighter. Then I felt two arms grab my waist and pull me back.

I was about to punch the person but lucky for Hinata I saw her. She grabbed my hands away from my body. She had a smile that could brighten up the day, unfortunatly it couldn't brighten up my life.

"Sakura, what is wrong?" she asked me. I smiled in silence. How could she understand? How could anyone understand?

"Nothing, don't worry. And if you are wondering why my eyes are watering, it 's because something blew into my eye," I hated lying to her. I started to walk away. I headed toward Tsunade's office. Looking back at Hinata I smiled. Now I had a plan.

(Normal POV)

Sakura stormed into Tsunade's office with a determind look on her face. The drunken hokage looked up at Sakura. "Sakura, don't you have a mission?" she said.

"No, but I need to talk to you," Sakura answered.

"Whhhhat is it?" Tsunade slurred.

"I-I," Sakura stammered

"Spit it out, I don't have all day," Tsunade yelled. Sakura gathered her courge up.

"I want to join the AnBu," sakura practically screamed. Tsunade shot up and stared at the young ninja girl.

"Your are still too weak," she answered to the pink headed girl.

"WHAT! I HAVE BEEN TRAINING WITH YOU EVER SINCE I WAS TWELVE, AND YOU STILL WON'T LET ME GO!" Sakura screamed. All of a sudden Tsunade dissappear and reappeared behind Sakura. Sakura felt hot air on her neck. She turned around to kick but Tsunade caught it and pushed her to the ground. "You will never be an AnBu member," Tsunade said with furry.

"I will, you'll see," Sakura got up and walked out of her office. She ran down the street and avoided stares of passer-bys. When she reached her house she slammed open the door and saw her mother's head jerk up from her normal position. Her mother's eyes was red and puffy from crying. Sakura forgot everything and rushed to her mothers aid.

She cooed her mother until the sobbing stoped. I have to be strong, she thought, for my mother's sake.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"The Akatsuki are at large and Tsunade called and said she wanted your dad to take Shikamaru's place because Ino was expected to have a baby soon. You know your father is ill, I told Tsunade that but she said he would get over it or I would have to take his place," Sakura's mother sobbed. Sakurawas shocked to hear this.

"What did she mean by you take his place?" Sakura asked.

"Sakura, before you was born I was know as the cat. I was on one of the best squads in the AnBu. Like you I was a medic nin. That's how I met your father. He was the leader, and he was much like that boy you always talk about," she said."

"Sasuke."

"That's it.Well I quite the AnBu because I couldn't stand the sight of watching someone die. That's how I got the name pink cat, because I always got out of the crime scene before they died. No one ever saw me," her mother finished. Sakura sat down pondering over what her mother just told her.

Sakura noticed that her mother looked just like her except for the color and length of their hair. I wonder, what if I could take her place? She looked at her mother. They was the exact height and same body shape. "Mom you don't have to be in the AnBu. I will take your place," Sakura said as her mother began to choke.

"No I will not let my baby join the AnBu for me," her mother answered.

"What team would you be on?" Sakura dug deeper into her mothers head.

"Team Uchiha," Sakura smiled.

"Mom, I need to be on that team," Sakura said. For hours the two fought for who would be on the team. Finally after screams and yelling, Sakura's mother agreed. "Wait right here for a moment," her mother walked out of the room.

When she came back she found Sakura's hair was in a pony-tail to keep it up. Sakura's mother held a big velvet bag. "You will need these." Her mother began pulling out small glass bottles, blak cloak and a mask with a kitten's face painted on it.

"You are lucky that I was a medical nin. These bottles are potoins to enhance chakra and a few poisons. Let's see," she pulled out a blue bottle, "this is a very delicate poison. Only use one drop on yourself. It will encrease speed and strength but if you use more than one drop you will have to get another medic nin to take it out of your body. You will die if you don't get it out of your system."

Sakura walked to her room to get dressed. She wore black baggy cargo pants and a black tank-top. She put the potions in the many pockets on her right leg and the poisons on the left leg. She packed her backpack with the black coat of Saske's and weapons. In her carring pouch was kunais and shuriken(An: Sorry can't spell) Next she put on the mask and the black coat. She new the last thing she had to do would be very painful.

Her mother walked over to her with paint in one hand and a needle in the over. She put an AnBu tatto on Sakura's left shoulder. She winced at the pain.

Sakura grimaced at the fact that her mother's hair was shoulder length. It took her forever to grow her hair out. Sakura's mother carefully cut the hair in the pony tail and let it back down. Everything was complete. Now all she had to do was wait outside for Sasuke.

Sakura grew impaiteint waiting for the Uchiha. She tapped her foot and played with her kunais.She heard footsteps behind her. The footsteps got louder. She turned around and threw her kunai at the person. She gasped as she saw...

Cliffhanger! wait until new time.
