Authors Note: Hello readers! So we're all on the same page here, I have no idea wtf I'm doing! This is a weird kind of complex fanfic idea that won't leave me alone, it may span to three stories all together, all connected to not quite. Yes, I am still working on If I Live and She Rise's. Chapter updates for both are coming. Enjoy this concept and lets all suffer together.
Constructive criticism is always welcome! Just remember I'm only Human and I do make mistakes.
Please enjoy my story!

R&R
"What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying."
― Albert Camus
Sakura Haruno is 13 when everything changes.
They're on a rooftop, the two boys screaming at each other to hide their hurt behind rage. Sakura watches with tears in her eyes and fear in her heart as they exchange hits in a flurry. She can feel Team 7 crumbling around her ears and she can do absolutely nothing to stop it. She watches as two out of the four members of Team 7 form what will be death blows and she sees them die before it really happens. No one is there to stop Sasuke's Chidori from colliding with Naruto's chest, and no one is there to stop Naruto's Rasengan from hitting the Uchiha in his head. No one is there, and then someone is.
Sakura Haruno is 13 when the love of her life and her closest friend kill her.
Both of their attacks hit her chest, one arm sticking out of the left side of her, one arm sticking out of the right. Sasuke's eyes are spinning red and horror is bleeding into his once oh so impassive face. Naruto is screaming. Kakashi is there and he pulls the boys away from her, arms sliding out of her body with sickening sounds, and the man lowers Sakura to the concrete roof slowly as her blood seeps into the grey surface. The boys are on either side of her, words falling from their lips that she can and can't hear.
Kakashi-sensei is shaking, eyes so wide, a name slip's from his lips, a name that isn't her's. But Sakura can't bring herself to care, everything hurts and then everything is numb and then she is fading away and she never even got to-
She holds up on hand, eyes set on the overcast sky. Kakashi-Sensei claps her hand tightly, Sasuke's hand wraps around Kakashi's. Naruto's hand holds on last. The four of them lay there as Sakura Haruno dies, joined as one by a simple hand hold while her life slips away.
Sakura doesn't regret saving her teammates for even a second while she dies.

At the end of each chapter I like to engage my readers with a question.
What do you think will happen to Sakura now?
