Now on with the story! :D


Chapter 1

"Ne, Sakura-sama where are we headed to now?" I looked over at Sakura-sama to see her deep in thought. However, by the look in her eyes I could tell she still heard me.

She looked over at me and gave me a smile. "Well Ōkami-chan I don't really know. But, that doesn't really matter. As long as we have food and shelter we will be fine."

I smiled at her and nodded my head. We have been traveling for a few days now. You see about a week ago Sakura decided to leave Konoha Village. Ever since Sasuke-san came back with his team voluntarily about 2 years ago, people, slowly, but surely started going against Sakura. And it was all because of an ugly little person called Karin. Karin made everyone turn against Sakura, even Naruto and Tsunade, except me. I owe Sakura-sama my life and after getting to know her I see her like the big sister I never had.

Anyways, Sakura-sama couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't stand to be in a village where her, supposedly, best friends all talked bad about her and started to see her as weak. Something Sakura-sama never wants to be ever again. Actually I was wrong there were some other people that weren't fooled by Karin, Shikamaru and Sai. Shikamaru being the genius he is knew what Karin was doing all along. Karin, seeing that Sakura had an amazing life, wanted to take over Sakura's life and in a way become the new 'Sakura.' And because Sai fakes most of his emotions, he knows when other people fake theirs as well. At first they tried to get everyone to see how messed up Karin was, but everyone would just ignore them or tell them to stop being 'so mean' to Karin. Eventually, Sakura told them to just give up. She didn't want them to suffer what she had to suffer.

So after having enough of their harsh words and glares, Sakura decided that the only way to keep on living her life and still be happy was to leave the village. Of course, she took me along with her. Ever since she saved me from one of Orochimaru's hideouts while out on a S-rank mission about a year and a half ago we have been tied to the hips.

Believe it or not, but Sakura-sama is actually a very strong person. She actually became captain of an Anbu Black Ops squad. Her codename was Blossom, fits her well ne? Hehe.

X-X-X

Presently, we are on our way to a small village right outside of Kumogakure. On the way we heard from fellow passer by ninjas that a few of the Akatsuki members were currently residing there. At first Sakura-sama and I were worried, but after remembering that we are no longer part of Konohagakure we had nothing to worry about.

After a few more minutes of traveling, about 40 minutes or so, we reached the small village. It was a bit dull in color. However, it was full of people and there were shops on either side of us. The houses or apartments were further backward and to the right. But, that's really unnecessary information.

"Alright Ōkami-chan we are going to split up. I'm going to try and find an Inn that we can stay in for a few days. You go and buy the supplies we are running out on and tonight's dinner. Oh and make sure to buy some dango. I've been dying to eat some lately. If I find an Inn before you finished shopping I'll send you a signal through our necklace and you should already know where I am. Or if you finish shopping before I find an Inn than you just do the same thing and send a signal through the necklace so you can locate me. Oh and even though we are no longer part of Konohagakure, keep a look out for the Akatsuki and try not to run into them. Got it?" She smiled at me once she finished talking.

"Yes ma'am." I did a mock salute, she giggled, and we went our separate ways.

As I'm peeking into all the different stores that I pass by to see if it has the stuff that I need to buy, I remember on why Sakura-sama and I got our necklaces. You see since we were so close to each other and when ever Sakura went out on missions, seeing as I had to register myself as a Konoha citizen and start as a genin with D-rank missions, I always got worried. So one day we decided to make these necklaces that makes it able for us to send signals to each other. We got the information on how to make them from a scroll in Konoha's library.

The way it works is that first, you get two matching pendants. Then the two people that are going to use the necklaces both put a little bit of their chakras in the two pendants. So each pendant has the chakras of the two people. Then, you get a blank scroll and draw the seal that the necklace scroll instructs you to make. Later, you pour both of your chakras into the seal and seal the chakras within the necklaces. And ta-da you're done.

Then, in order to locate the other person you just put a little of your chakra into the necklace and you instantly know where the other person is. Or it can be vice-versa, instead of locating the other person you can pour a little bit of your chakra into the necklace and tell the other person your location.

Anyways, after that whole long explanation I finally finished buying everything that we needed. I bought more kunai and shuriken, it seems like a lot of ninja pass by here. More soldier pills, smoke bombs, exploding tags, needles, and a lot of granola bars, the chocolate and strawberry flavored ones. I also bought dinner which was miso and chicken flavored ramen and of course Sakura-sama's dangos.

Since I still haven't received Sakura's signal, instead of signaling her that I was done, I decided to walk around a bit and wait until she calls for me. I stopped in front of this shop that sold ninja clothing, I thought that maybe Sakura-sama would like to come here after we settle down in our room at the Inn. She did say she wanted a new change of clothes. I nodded my head and reminded myself to not forget to tell her about this shop. I turned away from the shop and kept on walking. Up ahead I saw a few little boys running around and kicking a ball in between all four of them. I smiled to myself and thought about how cute they all were.

However, my smile faltered once I saw who exactly was walking my way. Two akatsuki members were headed my way! I couldn't tell who they were however, because of the conical straw hat with small ornamental torques and tassels hanging down over their faces.

Oh crap.

If I turn around and run away, it would seem suspicious. But, if I turn around I can't just walk around aimlessly because that would not make any sense. Why turn around and walk around with no destination if you can do the same thing and keep moving forward?

Out of nowhere I feel my necklace warm up a bit and I instantly now where Sakura-sama is. That means she must have found an Inn where we can stay at. Best part is in order to get to that Inn I have to turn around.

Good now I can escape my encounter with the akatsuki, Banzai! Hehe.

I stop, look as if I'm late to go and meet someone, and quickly turn around and make my way towards the Inn. Once I finally reach the Inn I see Sakura-sama waiting for me with a smile on her face.

"What took you so long Ōkami-chan?"

I give her sheepish laugh and say "Well I almost had a run in with the akatsuki, but luckily you called me over just in the nick of time." I wipe away invisible sweat from my forehead and Sakura heaves a relieved sigh. We look at each other and start laughing.

"Alright Ōkami-chan how about we go and get settled into our new room and have our dinner because to tell you the truth I'm starving!" She rubbed her tummy and gave a small pout.

I laughed at her. "Okey dokey, let's go."

We started making our way to our room and on the way there Sakura-sama asked "By the way, you didn't forget to get my dango did you?" She looked at me with such a serious and scary look.

I sweat dropped, "Of course I didn't, Sakura-sama."

She smiled a very creepy smile, "Good because if you would have forgotten you would have been in very big trouble."

I gulped and laughed nervously "Hehe, of course Sakura-sama."
