Written in a fit of anger and frustration; thus the numerous swear words.

Enjoy!

Forest of Death (episode 32)

'Why? Why am I so weak?'

'Because you lack hatred. Anger. Fury. To put it simply, billboard-brow, you suck.'

'SHUT UP! SHUT HTE FUCK UP! My teammates—our teammates are about to die and all you can do is taunt me? Tease me? A helluva lot of help you've been.'

No reply. Silence. Well, at least in her mind.

Haruno Sakura, pre-teen ninja, and top graduate in her class in terms of grades and academics was in a dire situation. She was held captive by a female Sound genin, Kin, whilst another Sound genin, Zaku, was about to kill her "beloved" Sasuke-kun.

Her emerald eyes watched in horror as Kin smiles and tells Zaku to hurry up and kill the still-unconscious Sasuke. Her tear-streaked face froze as everything seemed to slow...

'He's gonna die... he's gonna die...' She thought back to how her teammates were always there for her, protecting her, while all she did was cower and cry needless tears. She thought of courageous Rock Lee leaping valiantly to her rescue, even though he was from another genin team. 'They're all gonna die...because of me...' The tears started to fall faster.

'THEN DO SOMETHING!'At the mental scream of her alter ego something snapped. Sakura screamed.

'WHO THE FUCK DO THEY THINK THEY ARE? WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY TO DO THIS TO ME—TO MY FRIENDS?!'

Something snapped.

In utter outrage, Sakura slipped out a kunai and cut her hair free from Kin's grasp. This was her battler—her turn to shine. They don't know who they're messing with.

Sakura's Fight Scene + Ino-Shika-Cho battle – You know what happened here. I won't bother recapping.

'I'm waking... no... I'm awake. And I will avenge.'

"Sakura. Who did this to you?" She looked up at him—this was not the Sasuke she knew. No. This was someone else—someone wholly possessed—someone else entirely. "Who did this to you?" He asked again.

"I did." His attention drawn away from her, she almost sighed in relief. Almost. But she saw him as he fought. He changed. Who was he now?

Too quickly, he, this new Sasuke, clenched Zaku's arms from the back while stepping upon his back with his foot. A crack. And a scream. But he kept pulling...

'NO!'

"NO!" Sakura raced forward and hugged the boy from the back. She stared at him with wide green eyes, pleading him to stop. Something inside him snapped. And just like that, it was over—too soon.

'FINISH HIM!'

Too fast for anyone at the scene to comprehend the pink-haired kunoichi that everyone knew to be so sweet and caring viciously stabbed Zaku in the shoulder and down with her kunai, successfully piercing his lungs. He didn't have the time, nor the air, to scream. "It's over." She whispered darkly. "Finally."

Then, she stood up, brushed off her hands and stalked back to the cave where Naruto was still lying unconscious and clueless. She calmly laid a wet cloth upon his forehead, then sat down against the wall of the cave to rest.

Fin...for now.

I may add more chapters... if people show any interest in a "Dark Sakura"-type story.
