Naruto and its characters belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.

A young Sakura walked down the obsidian walkway, others off on both sides watching her intently. Reaching the large obsidian throne at the end of the walkway she looked up to see her father and mother smiling down at her, the blood red crowns on their heads glinting in the flames that danced out of the occasional crevice with the largest source being the deep crypt behind the throne. With a few words the ritual was begun by her father, the crowd coming in to circle around her and her family while continuing to give them all space. Her father stood, taking off both his and his wife's crown and merging them together, walking forward and placing the newly made crown on her so it rest above her brow. The deep crimson of the blood brought out the pastel pink hair that gave Sakura her name, and enhancing the bright red color of her eyes that was starting to give way to a forest green.

"Sakura, my daughter, and Queen of Hell!" her father announced, his wife coming over and linking onto his arm. Both watched their daughter with pride as she turned to the audience of devils that had come a bit closer to the now proclaimed Queen and gave them all a curtsey. Even though she had lived longer than most humans, Sakura retained the body of a young teenager. If she were to go to the human world most people would assume her to be 15 instead of 90.

Turning back to her parents, Sakura gave them a deep curtsey before she began to walk to them slowly. As if part of the ground, black flames shot out like giant earthen spikes to rupture through the hearts of Sakura's parents. The flames then wrapped around the bodies, tossing them into the flames held within the crypt behind the throne. Little Sakura continued to walk, and once she reached the throne she turned around, sitting upon the rough stone that characterized Hell. Her gaze drank in the sight of the fear on her subjects as they watched the black flames of Satan move to her command so easily, knowing that they would be spared of pity as she had done so with her own flesh and blood. Eagerly the all bowed down to her, accepting her as their Queen, and officially closing the ancient ritual.

Sakura was now Satan.

Satan looked at her advisor, dull jade eyes glancing over the devils assembled in front of her. All dressed in their best like the nobility they were, and yet none could catch her eyes. Turning back to her advisor she stated clearly for all in her presence to hear. "I will not marry any of them. Any more suitors that come I shall feed to Shukaku."

With a wave of her hand she dismissed them all, watching her advisor spring into action and shoo away all the suitors before leaving himself. Leaning forward slightly her hair fell into her face only to be pulled back by the black flames that so eagerly responded to their master. It was this connection that she held with her beloved flames that allowed her to become Queen at such a young age- for no Satan before her had so easily wielded the flames if the flames would allow themselves to be wielded at all. Feeling a familiar presence, Satan turned to the hallway leading to her private chambers to find a nine tailed fox coming her way. Smiling to the creature she gave her lap a pat and watched happily as the fox jumped into it and curled up into a ball.

Her tailed pets were also the pets of the previous Satan. They were officially known as the Tailed Beasts- created from the first Satan's demonic pet, Jūbi (the ten-tailed beast). Sadly, his beloved pet was met with a sage who managed to seal the first Satan's pet by splitting the chakra and creating the nine tailed beasts- Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, and Kurama*.

"My beloved Kurama," Satan whispered, absently stroking the fox's fur, and certainly noticing how he responded by looking up at her.

"Sakura-sama, we are hungry. The others sent me to ask if we could go hunting on Earth," Kurama asked, showing only the utmost respect and hunger to eat the chakra of the humans occupying Earth.

Satan glanced down at the Kyuubi* and smiled softly. "Of course. Don't get caught by the humans, and certainly make sure everyone returns to me safely. I will not heal the others if they return harmed, and I will not save them if they allow themselves to be placed inside a possible jinchuriki like the sage had become."

Kurama nodded, jumping down to stroll back into Satan's private chamber. "Perhaps you should join us some time, Sakura-sama."

Satan nodded. "Perhaps later, but certainly not right now. They are starting to doubt my ability to rule without a partner, and I certainly don't want to appear as though I'm running away from them. I am Queen Sakura Haruno- Hell's Satan, and I will not have them thinking otherwise."

The Kyuubi nodded, and returned to his siblings to tell them of the good news and the price they had to pay.

A/N: I'm planning on leaving this a oneshot, unless of course I get some reviewers who are interested in the storyline and wish for me to make more chapters. I'm going to try a different method with this story, though. If I had to I'd label it as a bunch of oneshot chapters all pertaining to the same storyline, so that each chapter has a sort of conclusion that leaves you wanting more yet allows you to feel happy with the ending if I decided to abandon the story.
