This starts off on chapter 483 of Naruto and during the Espada arc of Bleach. I'm going to try and follow the main storyline of each anime as much as possible so Sakura will not be all powerful, instantly fall in love and she will not jump back and forth to each setting. This will mostly take place in the Bleach storyline.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Bleach.


Sakura makes it to the clearing and she hears a deep voice.

"What are you plotting?" She looks over to see Sasuke staring at her and swallows.

"I'm not plotting anything. I've just…I've always regretted not going with you when you left Konoha. I don't want to have anymore regrets." She tells him. Sasuke just stares at her with cold eyes then asks her,

"Do you know what I want?" She looks confused for a moment but answers,

"It doesn't matter. I'll do whatever you say-"

"I want to destroy Konoha! That's what I want." Sakura widens her eyes in disbelief and he continues, "Would you really betray Konoha for me?" She thinks about it and says,

"Yes…if…you say so." His eyes bore into hers as he replies,

"Then…you'll have to prove it. If you kill her I'll let you come with me." Sasuke points to the fallen Karin. Sakura looks at him in shock and silently pulls out a kunai.

"Who is she?"

"One of the members of my team. As you can see she is of no use to me. Sakura, you were a healer weren't you? You'll make a good replacement." Sakura just stares at him and thinks,

'He's changed.' Sakura walks closer to the bloody Karin and tries to think of a way to save her. While she was think of that Karin mutters,

"…Stop, Sasuke" Sakura widens her eyes and turns around to see Sasuke's hand full of electricity going to her torso. She then gasps in shock and pain as his hand goes through her stomach. She drops the kunai and coughs up blood.

"SAKURA!" She hears her sensei yell. She looks at Sasuke with blurry eyes and sees him smiling evilly as he pulls out his hand from her stomach. She screams in pain as Kakashi catches her before she hit the ground.

"…You bastard…" Sakura coughs out in anger and coughs out more blood. Her eyes start to close but Kakashi keeps yelling,

"Sakura! Don't close your eyes!"

"…Kakashi, you know…what's going to happen. Tell Naruto…I'm sorry." Her heartbeat stops and she closes her eyes as she hears,

"SAKURA-CHAN!"


'What happened? Oh yeah, Sasuke killed me.' Before Sakura could reprimand herself more she hears a feminine voice.

Open your eyes child.

'Who are you? Where am I?'

This is your conscious. I am… Sakura opens her eyes and she sees a black haired woman with a kimono, but no face. She looks around and sees it's night and she's in a garden filled with Sakura trees.

'Who are you? I didn't hear.' The woman grabs a fan from her kimono and sighs,

I guess you are not ready to receive me. Another time child, for now wake up. Sakura suddenly felt herself shaking and the garden around her disappearing.

'What's happening?!' Sakura panics as the woman disappears and she hears more yelling.

"Wake up!" Sakura suddenly opens her eyes and quickly sits up, almost hitting the person in front of her. She starts breathing hard and puts a hand on her stomach, noticing there is no wound.

"So you're finally awake? Man, there was so much reiatsu coming from you and so much wind coming from you." A woman's voice tells her. Sakura looks up and sees a busty orange-haired woman in a black kimono with a sword strapped to her back and a pink scarf. Sakura looks around and sees nothing familiar.

"What? What's going on? I thought I died." The woman looks at her sadly and replies,

"You did die, you are in Soul Society. This is where the dead go. They show up here with no memory of whom they were, just their name but they usually show up in one of the districts, not near the gates of Seireitei. By the way, my name is Mastumoto Rangiku, Lieutenant of the 10th division. What's yours cutie?" Sakura just sits there taking in the information then answers,

"…My name is Sakura Haruno." Rangiku smiles and says,

"I like it, it suits you. You must have died pretty badly; you have blood all over you." Sakura looks at her clothes and sees that she was right. There was a hole in her shirt and blood was splattered all over it. She then pauses and asks,

"Wait, you said when we die we lose our memory?" The busty woman nods and Sakura widens her eyes.

"But, I remember everything. To where I was born, until I died." Rangiku widens her eyes, and then helps Sakura up.

"What's going on?" Sakura asks confused.

"There is someone else like you. I'm going to take you to him. Come." Sakura nods, but says,

"Wait!" Sakura grabs a kunai from her pack and cuts off the bottom part of her shirt, making it go just below her breasts. She puts the kunai back and nods to Rangiku to continue walking.

"Why'd you do that?" Sakura closes her eyes and says,

"It was bothering me." Rangiku just looks at her and nods.

"So where are you from Sakura-chan? Since you remember." The pink-haired girl widens her eyes in the sudden question, but answers,

"I lived in a village called Konoha. Part of the five great nations in the ninja world." They make it into Seireitei and the people all stare at Sakura.

"Rangiku-san? Why are they staring at me?"

"Oh, call me Rangiku-chan. They have just never really seen you before. That's all."

"I just realized, you said I had huge reiatsu. What's that?"

"It's our spiritual energy, it's all around us." Rangiku stops and tells her, "Concentrate and see if you can sense it." Sakura stops as well and does what she was told. Sakura senses the energy around her and thinks,

'It's just like chakra, but lighter.' Her thoughts were interrupted when a male voice yells,

"Rangiku-fukutaicho! There you are, Hitsugaya-taicho is looking for you." Rangiku frowns and says,

"I'm busy, I go to him later." The person disappears and Sakura asks,

"What are you?"

"We are Shinigami. We protect souls and fight off negative souls or Hallows. Captains and Lieutenants have high reiatsu, just like you. Tell me, did you hear a voice inside of you?" Sakura looks at Rangiku in surprise and asks,

"Yeah, how'd you know?" The older woman smiles and says,

"Because of the power you were emitting. If you listen to it more, you'll be able to control it and become a Shinigami." Sakura nods and was starts to say something, but was interrupted by a male voice.

"Rangiku-san? Who's that?"

"Ah, Renji! Perfect! This is Sakura-chan! Do you know where Kuchiki-taicho is?" Renji gives her a weird look but answers,

"Yeah…he's in his office." Rangiku grabs Sakura's hand and runs quickly to the 6th Division barracks, yelling,

"Thanks Renji!" Renji sweatdrops and mutters,

"Yeah. No problem."

"Rangiku-chan?! Where are we going?" Rangiku ignores her and just smiles. They make it to the barracks and Rangiku knocks on the door. A Shinigami opens the door and asks,

"What do you need fukutaicho?"

"We need to speak to Byakuya-taicho." Rangiku says in a serious voice. She didn't bother to hear a response as she pushed her way into the barracks with Sakura behind her.

"Rangiku-chan, should we really do this?"

"It's fine Sakura-chan." They make it into the office and Rangiku opens the door yelling,

"Byakuya-taicho! I need to speak to your 3rd seat officer!"

"What is it you want with me Matsumoto-fukutaicho?" Sakura, who saw the officer right after Rangiku open the door, stares at him in horror and shock recognizing him.

"Ah, here you are. This is-"

"Uchiha Itachi." Sakura finishes with a cold voice. Rangiku laughs nervously and says,

"Ah, so you know him. Ha, ha." Itachi stares at her and sighs, recognizing her.

"You are Sakura Haruno, my brother's ex-teammate. Please calm down Haruno-san, I won't hurt you." Angry tears gather in her eyes, but she takes a deep breath and wipes her eyes.

"Matsumoto, I think we should leave these two to talk." The captain says. The captain gets up from his desk and nods at Sakura.

"Welcome Haruno-san." Sakura nods back and says,

"Thank you Kuchiki-taicho." Rangiku follows the captain out after she tells Sakura,

"When you are done, come find me at the 10th division barracks." The pinkette nods and stares back at Itachi as the door closes.

"What's going on? Why are you the one to remember?" Sakura asks harshly. Itachi just stares at her and says,

"I have no idea Haruno-san. There is no reason for you to be hostile, I will not harm you."

"No reason to be hostile?! You were a S-class missing nin, part of the Akatsuki, which was hunting my best friend! You are the main reason Sasuke wants to invade Konoha!" Tears start gathering in her eyes again, but she holds them back.

"Haruno-san, I have no idea how I got here, or why I remember everything, I just want to help Soul Society with their problems now."

"What, like redeeming yourself?!"

"…Yes." Sakura scoffs and Itachi narrows his eyes.

"Why are you here? I am sure Naruto or Kakashi would have protected you from anything." Sakura looks down sadly and tears starts flowing down her cheeks.

"Your brother killed me. Chidori'ed me right through my stomach. That asshole. I can't believe I fell in love with him." Itachi sighs and says,

"I'm sorry Haruno-san. I didn't think Sasuke would fall so far."

"Did you plan-" Sakura takes a deep breath and wipes away her tears. "Nevermind. I just want to know why it's us two that were sent here. I mean there were a lot of others who've died in our world and I haven't seen them."

"Neither have I. They are probably here but just regular civilians in the districts with no memory."

"Okay, well I guess I'll go find Rangiku-san now." Sakura gets up and walks to the door and Itachi says,

"I will take you there then." The girl blinks in surprise but just nods, walking out of the 6th division barracks to the 10th division. The two former ninjas walk side by side in an awkward silence until Sakura says,

"What I don't get is why we showed up in the Soul Society. We are ninjas and we kill for a living. Shouldn't we be in hell or something?" Itachi chuckles and Sakura just glares at him.

"I have thought about that too, Haruno-san."

"Sakura. Call me Sakura. I have a feeling I'm gonna be seeing a lot of you Itachi-san." Itachi smirked and said,

"Alright Sakura-san, are you thinking about being a Shinigami?" She thinks about it and says,

"Might as well. I'll ask Rangiku-san about it."

"We're here." Sakura bows at Itachi and says,

"Thank you Itachi-san. I'm sorry that I was so cold to you."

"Not a problem Sakura-san, I understand. If you ever feel nostalgic, I will talk with you." Sakura smiles at him and nods. Itachi walks away and Sakura knocks on the door.

"Can I help you?"

"Could you please get Rangiku-san for me?"

"What is your-"

"SAKURA-CHAN!" Rangiku yells as she hugs Sakura. She then grabs the pinkette's hand and says,

"Come inside, you probably need to change out of that." Sakura nods and follows Rangiku inside as the Shinigami stares asking questions.

"So, how was your talk? How do you know the cutie anyways? Are you gonna be a Shinigami? If you are I'll help! I can help with your fighting skills, how to use a zanpakuto, kido and shunpo!"

"Um, Rangiku-san I'll answer in order. It was okay. We were enemies from where we were from. I will be a Shinigami. I already know how to fight, what's a zanpakuto, kido and shunpo?" Rangiku stops in the middle of the hall and says,

"You guys were enemies?"

"It's a long story."

"MASUMOTO! Where are you?!" A male voice yells.

"Ah! It's Hitsugaya-taicho!" Rangiku was too late to run and the captain found her.

"Masumoto! There you are, what are you-" Hitsugaya stares at Sakura, who stares back with a blank stare while Rangiku looks at them back and forth with a smile on her face. Hitsugaya clears his throat and says,

"Who is this Masumoto?" Rangiku smiles and says,

"Ah, Taicho! This is Haruno Sakura; she is just like Uchiha Itachi. They come from the same place and she wants to be a Shinigami." Hitsugaya nods his head and says,

"I'm Hitsugaya Toshiro, Captain of the 10th Division."

"Nice to meet you Hitsugaya-taicho." Sakura smiles at him and he flushes a little bit. Toshiro clears his throat again and says,

"Masumoto. You still haven't finished your paperwork!"

"Aw, but Taicho I'm helping out Sakura-chan. I'll finish it later." Toshiro just sighs and says,

"Fine, but I need it done by today!" Before Toshiro was about to leave, Sakura says,

"Um, if you would like I could help. Since I've been taking up Rangiku-san's time and I did all the paperwork for my shishou so it would be no problem." Rangiku gasps and hugs Sakura.

"You would really do that for me Sakura-chan? Thank you!"

"No, it's alright Haruno-san. Masumoto needs to do her own work."

"Aw Taicho!"

"No Masumoto. You can help Haruno-san, but after that you do the paperwork." Rangiku pouts and pushes Sakura through the hall and says,

"Fine."

"Goodbye Hitsugaya-taicho." Sakura says with a smile. Hitsugaya flushes again and Rangiku giggles.

"I know who taicho likes." Rangiku whispers to Toshiro. The white-haired captain blushes and yells,

"Shut up Masumoto!"
