Pairings: Kakasau (Kakashi & Sakura) and maybe Sasunaru (Sasuke & Naruto) maybe Naruhina (Naruto & Hinata) too.

Chapter 1: She had changed

"Bye Sakura." The voice was cold and detached but Sakura detected a faint hint of brotherly affection beneath the uncaring exterior. Sasuke walked away with his hand held up in a goodbye gesture.

"Sasuke," Sakura whispered the name of her childhood crush. She had decided that's all it was, a crush. Her rivalry with Ino had caused her to believe it was love.

"I miss you," Sasuke's departure from Konoha had saddened Sakura. They were no longer a couple but they both cared for each other, he was a brother to her and she a sister to him.

One year later

"Goodbye Sakura." The usually loud hyper-active knuckle head sadly said.

"I'm gonna bring him home, I promise." his laughing blue eyes were no longer laughing, instead they were serious and determined, as he stared into Sakura's green orbs swimming in unshed tears.

"Naruto," she whimpered his name her throat tight with emotion, "I miss you too." Naruto's departure from Konoha had depressed Sakura. They had broken up many months before but he too was her brother and she his sister.

One year later

"Goodbye Sakura, I love you." Cloth covered lips covered her own and gave her a passionate lingering kiss as strong arms held her is a close embrace. Kakashi held her a moment longer then vanished in a puff of smoke leaving a weeping Sakura clinging to nothing but air.

"Kakashi," Sakura wailed, "I miss you the most!" Kakashi's departure from Konoha had devastated Sakura. He was her mentor, her strength, her friend, her lover. He was her world.

Four years have passed since Kakashi left, and in those four years Sakura had changed. She trained harder, longer, and every day so she could get stronger and go after her friends, her family. She had nothing to stop her, no-one to keep her there. Ino had her shinobi career, her husband and her two kids. Neji and Hinata were always on missions. Shikamaru was head of strategic planning at ANBU, there was Ino his wife and their two kids. The rest of the nine rookies from the old days were missing presumed dead. Even her parents were dead; they were killed in a house fire when Sakura was out training instead of having her weekly dinner with them.

Sakura now had ANBU status, she was a hunter-nin. The old Sakura could never have been a hunter-nin, she was too soft, too caring, too kind. Sakura was still all of these things but she controlled them better and didn't let them get in her way.

Sakura finally stopped crying and got out of bed and looked around her room like she did every morning. The walls were painted light blue at the base and got darker as it got higher until it was completely black at the ceiling, which had stars painted on it to resemble the night sky. Her bed was made of dark wood and had a black duvet with white sheets and matching pillows. Her bedside tables were dark wood, and the one on her side of the bed had an old fashion look-alike iron box on it with a matching photo frame that had a picture of Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi, and herself that was taken a few days before Sasuke left. Her desk was dark wood with a glass top. Her computer stood at one end flashing a green light at her telling her she had left it on all night again. Her bookshelf, also dark wood, was over flowing with books and scrolls. She had medical books that Tsunadae had given her, books on famous shinobi, their fighting methods, skills and jutsus as well as Kakashi's collection Itcha Itcha, along with scrolls on hundreds of different jutsus. On top of her bookshelf was her stereo, still playing music. She always listened to music; it had started as a training method teaching herself to feel vibrations before sound was audible to the human ear. Needless to say she got so good at it she didn't need to hear things anymore, so she listened to music instead. Then there was her silver home theatre system, which her parents got for her, her door, her closet, her bathroom and the other side of her bed complete with dark wood bedside table. Why she had a king size double bed, she did not no maybe she was hoping Kakashi would come home and share it with her.

Sakura turned up the radio and a female voice came through.

"It's 8:15 on a rainy Saturday morning here in Konoha, this is 98.6 fm up next is Grace Kelly by Mika."

I want to talk to you

The last time we talked Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears

I promise you it won't happen again

Do I attract you?

Do I repulse you?

With my queasy smile

"I like this song." Sakura said to herself so she cranked up the music and went to go and shower.

You depend on our protection

Yet you feed us lies from the table cloth

"System of a Down, B.Y.O.B." she said as she walked over to her closet. She opened it and everything was black. "What should I wear today?" (A/N: I know…..I know BLACK) she took out a black boob tube and mesh long sleeve shirt that closed over her breasts and opened up to show her firm stomach.

"Hmm, jeans or baggies?' she said as she held up a pair of very tight black jeans and a pair of extremely baggy pants.

"Neither I think," she said as she replaced both items of clothing in he closet. "Aha! This will be perfect!" she took out a pair or tight, but not too tight, black shorts. She got dressed, did a couple of movements to make sure her cloths did not restrict her movement, and then began to look for shoes.

"My knee high boots with studs will be grate," she said then she pulled out a pair of black (A/N: shocker of all shocks there) knee high boots with studs around the 5cm soles and buckles across the front. Sakura put on a pair of black knee high socks and then the boots.

"Time for extras," she said and opened the iron box by on her bedside table. It had three levels or sections; the first two were pulled up and held by fine chains. The first level had all her earrings and other piercings, the second all her chokers and necklaces and the base had all her black make-up. She decided to keep her plain silver sleeper and ball in her upper ear piercing and took out a pair of earrings that had mini shuriken dangling from a silver chain, as she put them on she looked at her collection of tong rings.

"Nothing special today, so it's between the sharingan eye or plain silver." She decided she would wear the plain piece of jewellery.

"Belly rings……this one will do nicely," she took out a silver belly ring with a diamond in the bottom ball and three mini shuriken dangling on fine chains and put it in returning the plain silver one to the jewellery box.

"Choker or necklace?" she mused to herself looking over the various items the jewellery box contained.

"Here it is folks Pain by Three Days Grace."

Pain,

Without love pain

Can't get enough pain

All I care of

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

" A necklace would be nice," and she pulled out a circular black piece of tube, very thin, with silver clasps at each end that had a silver skull with red eyes on it and placed it around her neck. She then opened her draw and pulled out a black leather studded belt, no she thought and returned it. She then took out a silver belt made of rings connected together and a long fine chain attached to the end. She put the belt on and pulled the chain around her and connected it to the same ring as the opposite end. She then took out a pair of open finger black gloves and put them on noticing that she would have to redo her black nail polished fingers soon. She then continued to put on lipstick, eyeliner and mascara. She brushed her hair; witch had re-grown to beyond its original length and was now just starting to cover her buttock. She had tried fully dying her hair once but she didn't like it and the colour didn't take very well so she just had black streaks witch contrasted very well with her bright pink hair. Sakura strapped on her shuriken pouch, grabbed her ipod and turned it on, looked in the mirror then hopped out of her window and across the rooftops of Konoha. She was passing the main entrance of the village when she noticed three figures appear in the distance.
