Chapter 1: The death of Me
O
My head was spinning. Some birthday that had turned out to be.
I had got into a fight with my friends, ruined my birthday party, and ended up waking up outside the village, with a big head ache and blurry memories from the night before.
I let out a small moan as I trying to sit up to hold my head and get off the ground. The sun felt like it was frying the inside of my head, and it wasn't a feeling I enjoyed. As I winced in pain I looked around to see where I was. Maybe it would help me bring back memories of how I got here. From what I could see I was surrounded by trees, and to what it looked like to be a small stream nearby.
'Water, that's just what I need….' I thought to myself as I inched over to the stream and pulled out a small pill I had in my pocket.
After all my 3 years with Tsunade, I had learned a few tips on how to get rid of hang over's from watching Tsunade getting drunk so much. One of the ways she got over them was a small pill that she created long ago that stopped the effects of hangovers.
I swallowed the pill and cupped my hands to get a sip of water wash it down from the stream. I felt so thankful I remembered to bring it with me just in case anything happened.
I laid back down on the grass and looked up at the sky as I let the small pill kick onto effect and get rid of the evil head ache that filled my mind. As I lied there watching the clouds, I let myself wondered about the small things that were bubbling around in my mind. I stared to think about the time, or if I was late for my daily shift at the hospital, I also wondered why Shikamaru liked to watch the sky so much, and decided next time I saw him I'd have to ask him.
As soon as my head stopped pounding so much and I had run out of things so ask myself, I let myself get up and get a better look at my surroundings and see where I was. The first thing I noticed was the path that led to the village a little bit from the place I was now standing. How lucky.
"Time to get home and say sorry to everyone on for being such a jerk last night and find out why I woke up outside the village I guess" I sighed to myself also thinking about how annoying it would be to face them. I hardly saw them and now I had the chance to hang out with them I ruined it.
As I started to slowly walk towards the path I stopped dead in my tracks to hear a shrieking scream from someone that sounded not far away from here. Since I was not really in a rush to return home and face my friends and was a ninja I decided to check out the sound and see what was happening.
I followed the direction the sound of the scream was, tell I came to a clearing where I saw a girl a little younger then my laying on the ground motionless.
As soon as I saw her I rushed over to her side and let the medic side of me take over in seeing what happened to the poor girl. I soon realize she was dead from blood loss. The only strange thing was there was no blood at all in her body and since I heard the scream not too long ago someone would have, had to take it.
The first thing that came to mind was vampires. This could be proof that they were alive! (Well dead…) I gasped out loud. What if they were still in this area looking from more blood!
I smiled and shook my head. That what I get for reading vampire books. Vampires were not real. From being at the hokages office for so long I knew there was some ninja that did take peoples blood for their own sick needs out there.
I looked down at the younger girls body. She was so young yet she died a cruel fate. She had short blue hair and looked to be about 13 years old.
Memories of when I was 13 flooded my head that was the year I became a part of my first team. Team 7. How I missed the days filled with Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi. Back when we were all together, and not separated.
How I missed just being with all of them. After he left everything got so messed up. After that I really started to be alone. Sasuke left for power, and then Naruto left to go train so he could bring him back. I knew he wanted to get stronger to get Sasuke back but to do so he left me alone. You would think I would still get to see Kakashi every now and then, but he was always on a mission being so skilled.
The last few years were so empty, so lonely. Everyone in the rookie 9 was off with their teams creating bonds. Then there was my team who all left me to be stronger. I guess in the end I became a bit withdrawn since I never really got to have anyone I could just hang out with.
Every day was filled with sadness and jealousy for the other teams. Part of me ached to go back and get a new team. Maybe then I wouldn't be so alone. I could have team member who cared about me, and wouldn't leave me. And maybe I could finaly not be a hindrance to my team. I could be strong like the other member of my team. I had always been the weak link in Team 7. I wasn't like Naruto who had a demon fox in him with chakra to spare with that 'never-give-up' attitude. And I wasn't like Sasuke who had the sharingan from his famous blood line, or a curse seal to make me strong. I was just weak and annoying.
I soon felt warm, wet tears running down my cheeks. What I wouldn't give to get a do-over! I wanted to go back, I wanted to be someone else, I wanted a team who loved me! No, it wasn't a want .Part of me knew I needed it. I needed a way out! I needed to be free of the weak Sakura I was. Even if I was strong now I could never be the person I longed to be.
'If you want out and need to redo the last few years then I think you know what you need to do'
My inner self spoke to me, ever since Naruto and Sasuke left she stared to talk to me more and more to ease my loneliness. She was the friend I never had.
'What do you mean? I can't do anything! It's not like I can run away and turn back time.'
'Shh, stop crying you know what to do, if I know then you know too. Think about it. Here is a hint. There is a dead body in front of us that no one knows who she is. Just think what would happen if that dead body was no other then Sakura Haruno?'
'You mean kill myself!? Are you crazy? I'm not going to kill myself!'
'Not like that! I don't want you to kill yourself dummy. That would kill me too! What I mean is what if we trade places with her?'
Then it hit me, she wanted me to use my chakra to mold the girl into what I look like and I would use the justu Tsunade taught me and made myself look like her. That way I could become a new person and not worry about being me. I could still be alive but get my chance to re-do the last 4 years. Wow she was smart.
'You see my idea now? Let's do it. Let's escape. '
'Are you sure? I mean what if-'
'Who knows what will happen, let take a chance for once and never look back.'
'…Okay'
Now with my mind made up I quickly started to change the way we both looked, and kept going focusing on the tack because I knew if I let myself think I would somehow talk myself out of this idea even thought I knew I needed this.
After I finished switching the way we both looked and switched our clothes and looked down at my work. It was so strange looking at the body. I never thought I'd see myself dead. I then picked up the body and place carried it on my back and started to walk towards the village.
With every step I thought about everyone, I felt kida happy some people like Ino, and Naruto were mad at me for getting drunk last night. Maybe it would make them less sad that I left them. I also thought about Tsunade, she would be mad I let myself get killed. She was always telling me to be careful. But It would be like after anyone died. Some people would be sad for a bit but after a day or two people would forget me and go back to the way they were living before, as if I never died. And besides it's not like I was really good friends with anyone, they were always to busy with things to even get to know me.
As the gate came into focus, my vision became blurry from the tears that kept running down my cheeks.
"Hey you? Are you okay? Why is Sakura Haruno on your back?" I noticed a guard from the village who was passing by the gate yell as I kept walking towards him. There was no going back now.
"Hey get Tsunade out here! It looks like there hurt! Hurry!" Another voice yelled.
I now heard voices yelling from far away and noticed someone running towards me now, but my eyes were so filled with tears and I was so tired from used all that chakra I couldn't see straight. All I knew was I had to keep walking pushing myself to get closer, I had to get there.
My head started to spin once more causing me to lose my footing and knew I was soon going to crash to the ground.
Then the person from before, whoever it was, catch me before I felt to the ground. I was so dizzy, I knew I was about black out.
"Shh, it's okay. Everything's going to be fine. Your safe now, it okay sweetie. Just relax." A calming familiar voice said before I blacked out.
Then it hit me, today was the day Haruno Sakura died.
A/N Chapter one is done! *Yay* So I will be adding the next chapter soon, but it will be sooner if I get a review. Because I don't mind spending hours on something as long as I know there is one person out there who read it ^_^ So let me know what you think~!
