PROLOGUE: ANBU CAPTURE

A pink haired girl woke up, tangled in her bed sheets, as the sunlight hit her whole body. She groaned, to wanting to get up. But before she could do anything, a bird flew through her window, with a scroll in its mouth. 'Not another mission,' Sakura thought, sighing. She got up, and took the scroll out of the bird's mouth. She read it over in her head.

Report to the Hokage's Office immediately.

Sakura nodded and started to get dressed. She wore her regular ANBU outfit, in which it consisted of a black turtleneck with a white guard over it, her white medical ninja skirt and black boots. She also wore her black cape, her mask, and her ninja weapons on the side of her legs. She jumps out her window, landing expertly.

Sakura walked slowly to Tsunade's office, and sees everyone nodding their heads to show respect. Sakura smiled, and nodded back. When she got there, she saw Sasuke. Sasuke smirked.

Sakura noticed this and greeted him.

"Hey, Sasuke." She smiled. He continued to smirk and nod. Suddenly, silence filled the air. One flashback came to both of their minds…

It was near 9:00 pm and Sakura was walking home from the Ichiraku Ramen Shop. Suddenly, she noticed another figure, walking. The figure was shaped to be a male's body. She walked closer…

And it was Sasuke's!

Seeing as she stops in front of him, he stops as well.

"What are you doing here? Go home, and get some sleep…" Sasuke had told her. Although he had told her something, she had ignored it.

"In order to leave the village…you must take this path…" Sakura had said, sadly, her head weeping down a bit. "Are you leaving the village…Sasuke-kun?" she asked.

Sasuke said nothing for a while. But he starts again.

"You should go home, and stop butting your nose into people's business all the time…" he then walked past her.

As he did, she ran after him a bit.

"Why do you always shut me out?" she sobered.

Silence…

"Do you remember when we were Genin, and we stood at this very spot?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke knew very well that he remembered.

"No."

"Of course he's not trained! He has no parents to be trained by!" Sakura expertly said. Sasuke's eyes narrowed at that.

"Loneliness…" Sasuke mumbled.

"Huh?" She said.

"It doesn't compare to getting yelled at by your parents…" he said.

"Sasuke-kun…" she whispered.

Sasuke walked away, feeling lonely and depressed.

"Of course not…" Sakura sadly laughed, "That was long ago, but that's where we all started…"

Both stayed in silence for a while before Sakura began talking again.

"Do you remember the missions Team 7 went on together. You, me, Naruto…and Kakashi-sensei." He voice tried cheering up, but cracked a little.

She sighed, as he stayed silent. "We all went on those fun missions together .And we're one team…"

"Just as I thought…" Sasuke finally said, "I'm different from you 3. We all walked on the same path, but in the end, I chose revenge."

"But revenge makes no one happy, neither you…nor I…" Sakura said, "I have friends and a family. But if you leave… to me, it will be the same thing as being lonely…"

"From now on, we all will follow different paths." Sasuke stated, his eyes closed for a while. He then walked forward again.

Sakura ran towards him, her tears flowing freely now.

"Please! Don't go! If you stay will me, I will make you happy every day, and you won't regret it!!If you can't do that…then take me with you…" Sakura cried silently in the end.

Sasuke stops and turns around slowly.

"After all this time…" he started, "You're still annoying," he smirked. He walked ahead. She ran after him.

"Don't leave!!! If you go, I'll scream and-" she was cut off.

Sasuke was, instead of walking in front of her, behind her.

As he knocks her out, she remembered he last thing Sasuke had said to her.

"Thank you."

And he set her gently on the bench, and walked off.

Sakura was broken out of her daze when Tsunade had led her into the office.

"So…what is it that you want me to do, Tsunade-shishou?" Sakura had asked casually.

"You will go on a mission with Hyuuga Neji, Nara Shikamaru, and Inuzuka Kiba to retrieve a scroll that holds utter chaos and destruction when in the wrong hands. The 3 will be waiting for you at the Village Gates. Good luck!" Tsunade's eyes shined with passion and happiness, confident of Sakura.

TIME SKIP

Sakura ran through the Konohagakure Forest with 3 of her teammates. They were on a simple mission to retrieve a scroll. In this mission, Sakura was the team captain. She wore a black vest and a white guard over it, showing her curves. Her red ANBU tattoo was on her upper right arm. She wore a black miniskirt with slits on the side. She wore black fishnets under her skirt up to her upper thigh. She had black gloves going from her elbow. Last, she wore black knee high ninja boots.

"Pick up the pace! I sense very strong chakra." Sakura said, leading her team.

"Hai!" the ANBU team chorused. All four ANBU sped up to their fastest pace. They saw 10 kunai bullet towards them. They dodged, and didn't get hit. Then came out four men. She suddenly recognized 3 of them: Uchiha Itachi, Aksuna no Sasori, and Hoshigaki Kisame. But she did not recognize the one with the long blonde hair.

"You three take on them. I'll go after that damn Uchiha…" Sakura said.
"Hai!"

Sakura ran towards Itachi and charged a fist at him. He gripped it, and flung her into a tree.

CRACK…!

She had just broken her wrist. She howled out in a series of pain. She got off the tree. She saw him running with a katana. She dodged, seeing him run into a tree with the sword. She disappeared behind him, and then reappeared. She grabbed his cloak, swinging him into the sky. She got infront of him. By his stomach, and kicked it, making blood trickle out his mouth. But he grabbed her throat and pushed her against the tree. She looked dead at him, then something in her stomach pained.

He stuck the katana through her stomach. She coughed up blood, and again, screamed in agony. A blood curdling scream.

She fainted, but her teammates did not.

"SAKURA!!!" the three of them yelled. They were so focused on her, that they did not see their attacks coming.

"Let's go." Itachi said. The three nodded and followed him.
