The Secret I Kept

Sand vs. Leaf

Team 7 had just gotten finished training with Kakashi when Konahomeru (sp?) and his friends asked to play. Sasuke, of course, declined and left but Sakura and Naruto gladly accepted. Konahomeru was happy when Naruto said he'd play but when Sakura agreed, he said the three words that would get him a free beating; "No way, hag!!!!" Sakura suddenly began to charge and chased them all the way down the street. That is, until they bumped into a man with purple markings on his face.

"I'll teach you to watch where your going, kid," the man yelled. A puppet unwound from his back and he used his ability in chakra strings to get the puppet to race toward Konahomeru. The boy ducked and closed his eyes, expecting to be killed. After a few moments and nothing had happened, he opened his eyes to see Sakura standing in front of him, protecting him from a fate that was sure to come.

"Leave them alone," a voice said from above. The man turned around to see Sasuke standing in a tree. "Why should a guy like me listen to you?" the face painted man said. "I'm guessing your bitch of a mom didn't teach you any manners," Sakura said, as she began to push the puppet backwards, inch by inch. The man just smirked and said, "You'll get it now."

Suddenly, Sakura felt sand wrapping around her body and jumped backwards. She managed to escape most of the sand but a little bit was still around her wrists when another voice was heard. "Sand Coffin!!!!!!"

Although the grip on her wrists was deathly tight, Sakura kept an emotionless face when yet another voice called out, "That's enough Gaara. You too Kankuro. We've got nothing to accomplish by fighting them." The sand on Sakura's arms began slipping away and she began to see the outline of a girl with four spikes on her head. The spiky haired girl then continued,"You two. What are your names?"

Sakura and Sasuke gave the girl their names and Naruto yelled out his just so he wouldn't be left out. The girl then introduced herself as Temari, the guy with the face painting as Kankuro and the red haired one as Gaara. "So are you guys in the chunin exams, too?" Kankuro asked a smirk still on his face. Naruto was about to blurt out no, but Sakura quickly cut him off. "Yeah, our sensei just recomended us today." "Good," Temari said, "Cuz I want to fight you," she said pointing at Sakura. The three then disappeared and all that was left was sand.

As soon as they were out of earshot, Sasuke asked her why she had said that. "I'm about to talk to Kakashi about that so we will be. Don't worry." The minute she finished Sakura was gone.

As Sakura hopped from roof top to roof top, her arms began to hurt more ( yes she does feel pain, she just never shows it unless she needs to or it really hurts). When she stopped she found there was already someone waiting for her. "Hey, Sasuke," she said, not even bothering to give him a glance. "Can I borrow your arm weights? No need to get Kakashi worried about my arms," Sakura said, her emerald eyes unusually dull. The minute Sasuke tossed them to her Sakura was once again gone. Sasuke was at first shocked at how whe had left so quickly but then smirked at her retreating form and went home.

"Kakashi, I'm home," Sakura said as she opened the door. She came into the kitchen and looked him stragiht in the eye. "Why didn't you sign us up for the Chunin Exams?" "I was going to mention it to the Hokage tomorrow," was the reply. "My turn for questions; what happened to your arms?" Kakashi said as he squezed her wrists, causing Sakura to scream in pain.

"Kakashi before you even say it I was not trying to get myself killed. I was protecting the Hokage's grandson... unless you didn't want me to save him," Sakura yelled before turning to Kakashi with hurt in her eyes. Kakashi imediately softened and asked, "Was it with a red haired kid cuz I saw him approaching as I left." Sakura nodded and Kakashi continued. "That's the Kazekage's son." Sakura stared at him in disbelief. "The what????" she screamed.
