I dont own Naruto.

Sakura flopped down in the shade of the large maple tree. She took her end of her sleeve and wipped off the sweat on her sunburned face. The shade felt so nice to her since she had been training all day in the hot sun. Thats all she did these days. She lived out in the woods alone with only Moto as her capaining. Moto was her new teacher and had been her teacher ever since he found her almost two years ago. Sakura kind of felt like she had no life of her own anymore. Moto let her see none of her friends and none of them ever came to see her. He controlled everthing she did. But all this started almost two years ago when she was on a mission with her old team Naruto and Sasuke.

Flash Back

It was a dark cold day and Sasuke and Naruto were leading in the front. Sakura was walking in the back next to the girl they were suppose to be protecting. The girl was only a year older then Sakura who was 15 at the time. She was very beautiful with her long black hair and rosy cheeks and Sakura could not help but be a little jealous of her. The girl was the daughter of a very rich and royal family. There mission was to take her to Sharia, a big rich kingdom where she would marry the prince and stop the fighting of there two kingdoms. The princess kept talking to Sakura has if they had been friends forever. Telling Sakura all about the man she was to marry and of her kingdom.

Sakura being to distracted by the princess's story she didn't even hear the dagger flying though the air till it was too late. Thats when everything seemed to be going in slow mottion. She turned her head to see the dagger hit the princess's back and the older girl fall to the ground. Sakura could not see her attackers but she could hear more daggers flying though the air. So Sakura did the only thing she could think of at that split second. She jumped in front of the injured princess's body. Five daggers hit her all at one time. Sakura feel to the ground as 3 shadow ninjas jumped down from the branchs above. One walked over to the princess and bent down to feel her pulse.

"Is she dead?" asked the fattest ninja leaning on a near by tree.

"No not yet but she will be in a couple minutes." said the ninja that was closest to the princess. "Aww to bad we have to kill her so soon she was a pretty little thing." he said as he touched her cheek.

"Leave... her alone!" yelled Sakura in a shaky voice as she tryed to stand up. Sakura grabbed one of the daggers sticking out of her leg and throw it at the ninja closest to the the dying princess. It hit him right in the heart.

" You little...!" shouted the fat ninja behind her as he kicked Sakura in the side as she doubled over in pain. "I'll teach you for doing that!" said the fat ninja in rage standing over her now as he started to make signs with his hands.

"No! don't do that you could die!" yelled the brown haird ninja.

"I don't care!" he yelled " As long as she suffers for what she has done!" with that he made his last sign with his hands and pointed them right at her heart. A black beam of light flew out of the fat ninja's fingers and straight into Sakura's heart. At that moment Sakura could fell something dark and evil swirling around her heart. It felt like a wolf was taring her apart from the inside. She could not see or move or even think at that moment. All she could hear was a loud blood peircing scream but it sounded so far away. The pain was so overwelming she just wanted to die there and then!

Just as she thought she would pass out from all the pain it stoped. It was then she relized it was her that was screaming that whole time.

"SAKURA! Sakura are you ok!" yelled a veryformiliar voice next to her. Sakura slowly opened her eyes to see a very worried Naruto next to her. Behind Naruto was Sasuke pulling his dagger out of the brown haird ninja's back.

"uh..I think i'll be ok now" she said still in pain from all the injures she got. "Oh no! The princess!" shouted Sakura remembering. She quickly sat up and looked around to see the princess laying just a couple feet away from her lying in a pool of blood. She scouted her way over till she was sitting next to her. She pulled the small dagger from her back and placed both her hands over the wound conncetating on pulling her chakra into her hands. Ready to heal the princess.

"no please...dont" said the small weak voice of the princess. "i have lost to...to much blood already...i..i cant be saved now..." said the princess gasping for breath. " those ninjas dont want peace in...my land they love war and...death. That ninja put a curse on y-you." she said as she touched Sakura's heart. Sakura pulled her shirt down alittle to see a dark black mark that looked like a wolf bearing his teeth. Sakura gasped as she looked at it. "here.. take this to ...to myfiance and t-tell him what happened..." Sakura looked down at the red rube necklace in the dying princess's hand and took it gently from her it. "...thank..y-you..." was the last words the princess said before her head fell back and she passed away.

End Flash Back

"What are you doing Sakura?" yelled Moto snaping Sakura out of her memores. "Don't tell me your already tired?"

"I worked all day so far!" wined Sakura. "Can't I have a break for at least 5 minutes!"

"Fine! I guess, I just thought you wanted to be able to control that wolf demon inside of you." said Moto as he threw his arms up into the air as he always did when he was trying to make Sakura do something she didnt want to do. "Guess I'm just a crazy old fool wizard that knows nothing about curses!"

"Fine! I'm getting up so stop yelling already." said Sakura as she picked up her dagger and walked back into the meadow to start training again.

Two hours later Sakura made her way up to the small cottage where her and Moto lived.

"Here better eat a good meal tonight. I hear the moon is going to be out tonight." said Moto placing a plate full of bread and chesse in front of her.

"Ahh bread and cheses is not a good meal! We had this for like 3 days in a row. Don't you have any meat or something good?" said Sakura with discust on her face.

"Ha you know you cant have meat that will only feed the demon in your heart!" said Moto sternly as he watched her eat her bread.

"Well it looks like that time again. Better go outside Sakura." said Moto looking out the window at the slowly sinking sun. Then he opened the door for her. They both walked down to the small river mouth in silence.

"Ok then you've been practicing hard this week so tonight try and take total control. The key is just remeber who you are. If you lose that to the demon he will take total control and you won't be able to stop him then till the moons gone in the morning." said Moto patting Sakura on the sholder.

"Ok sir. I'll do my best this time." said Sakura with determination in her voice. She walked slowly to the tip of the river as she kept repeating in her head 'I'am Haruno Sakura. I'am Haruno Sakura...'

She stood at the water's edge as she did every night the moon light was out. Sakura watched as the final rays of sun light sliped below the trees. She could hear footsteps walking away at a fast pase and knew instinly that it was Moto walking back to the salfness of his little cabin. He was smart to do so because who know if she could take contol with the moonlight wolf in her heart. Every since that day that shadow ninja put this curse on her she had been different. It had changed her inside and out. Every night the moon is out the beast comes out and takes control of her body. There was no way of stopping it.

Sakura turned her attention back to the sky as the moon's light slowly reached it's way to her. Like everynight she felt her heart being scwised tight by an invisible hand. She winced in pain as the light touched her black mark on her heart. Sakura feel to her knees as her body stared to change. Her tanned sunbured skin slowly grew silver fur all over. Her nails grew long and sharp.

When finally the pain was all gone she looked into the water to see a huge silver wolf with jade green eyes and a pink ring of fur around it's neck. She stared at theferocious and deadly but beautiful creatuer staring back at her. Sakura could feel the demon trying to take contol of her body but she would not let it. Inside her was a great war going on between Sakura and the wolf demon. 'Come now Sakura stop fighting it you know we could do great things together. Just let me lead you for a while.' Said the demon in a sweet but deadly voice.

"No! I won't let you kill anymore people again!" she yelled.

'Fine be that way! But when you need me I'll right here inside you ready to lead you the right way. The powerful way.' with that it went silent just waiting for Sakura to let down her gaurd.

A little excitment came over Sakura it was not evernight the demon gave up so easily. She could now leave and wonder around the rest of the woods that Moto would not let her go in. She rushed though the woods. Now being in her demon form she could run twice as fast as before. By midnight she had reached the forbidden woods that Moto always told her to stay away from. But by telling her to stay away from it only made her want to go in it more.

Sakura looked into the woods. It looked the same as anyother woods. 'hmm... I wonder why Moto said I could never come here? It's to peaceful.' thought Sakura as she made her way though the dark trees. She kept walking till she noticed that the trees were slowly becoming fewer and fewer around her. She walked a little farther till she saw a large feild full of rice and wheat. And below the feild was a village.

"A VILLAGE!" Sakura was filled with excitement she had not seen a real village in two years. Actully she had not seen anything other then the woods and Moto. 'So this is why Moto never wanted me to come over here. He didn't want me to see this village. But I wonder why?' thought Sakura. ' Oh well I'm here now. It can't hurt if I go take a small look around. All the villagers should be sleeping by now anyways.' she thought as she looked at the dark village below.

Sakura made her way down to the small sleeping village. She wonder the dark deserted streets sniffing and looking everywhere. Sakura turned a corner just as she heard a door fly open around the corner she was turning. She stared in shock as the light spilled out of the open door and landed on her huge wolf body. A man stummbled out the door laughing at his buddies inside and waving good-bye.

For some reason she felt like she was rooted to the ground below her and could not move. The young man turned around as his eyes grew wide with shock and fear.

"W-WOLF! There's a WOLF in the village!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. All of a sudden ten big farm men ran all around her with guns and pitchforks.

She was trapped! There was no where to go with out hurting these men that just wanted to protect there village. They all started to walk slowly closer holding out there weapons at her.

'Let me take over you know you can't and won't hurt these foolish men!' said the demon in it's deadly voice.

'No! You will only kill them all! And how do I know you won't attack the rest of the village too!' said Sakura to the demon.

'You know if you don't swich with me nowthey will kill you and me!'

'Well then at least I will be free of this curse and of YOU!' yelled Sakura. Suddenly she felt a huge pain in her back. She turned around to see a big tan farm man pulling his pitchfork out of her back. She tryed to run but another man kicked her right in the same spot as her pitchfork wound. Sakura started to panic as another man stabbed her in her side and her back leg making her yelp. Sakura had no other way out then to attack. She barred her teeth and looked for a week leank. She found it. It was the same guy that had called to everyone else when he first say her. He was standing only a couple feet away holding a small pocket knife at her and shaking like a leaf. She rushed at him making him scream and throw his knife at her. Sakura dogged the small knife and jumped over the boy who was now on the ground huddled in a ball.

"Come on get it!" yelled one of the big farm men behind her. Sakura ran as fast as she could go but her wounds were slowing her down a lot. 'With a the injures you got from them you won't get to far before they catch us! Just switch with me now! I will finish them off in no time!' Yelled the demon in rage.

'No I can make it!' panted Sakura. Her silver fur now covered in red blood. Sakura ran blindly thought the woods and did not stop even when the men's voices were out of ear shot. Though a couple of the trees ahead of her she could see a bright light. She wondered if it was really there or if her eyes were just playing tricks on her. But the light looked so inviting to her she could not turn away.

When Sakura finally made it to the edge of the trees she fell to her stomach exsosted. But something in her needed to make it to the light infront of her. So she got half way up and started to drag her back injured leg. She was so close but then everything started to go blurry and the last thing she saw as she feel to the hard cold ground was a tall young handsome boy walking over to her.

"...Neji?..." was the only thing she could say as her head hit the ground and everything went black.

Well I hope you liked!
