Sakura pov
Why, why did he stab me? I kept thinking to myself, as I looked at the hole in my chest. Even though I know that it's only a genjutsu, I could feel the pain and agony with having a hole in ones chest.
"I can give you power" I heard a voice inside of the hole say.
"Who are you" I answered.
"Sakura, I told you once a long time ago that if you died that I would take over. But I guess that it's time for you to remember everything"the voice said.
"How do you know my name, and what do I need to remember" I said back. I felt stupid answering a voice that sounded like me, but more hollow. I started to look around but all I saw was darkness, till I spotted straw sandaled feet. Then the feet started to move forward, away from the darkness. I felt like I was in a daze just looking at this person.
"So do you remember me?"
"How could I forget, you were always pushing me to my limit. Trying to get out to destroy everything you could" I said remembering that I indeed knew this person in front of me. This was my version of a tailed beast, my demon, my tormentor, my opposite, my advisor, and my only comfort when I needed it. She is my hollow.
"I see, so you are just now starting to remember. Good, because I feel a change in the air coming. You are going to pretend to be Sakura Haruno a bit longer till you are able to be Sakura Kuchiki again. But this time we will take all 3 of those bastards down with our own bare hands, for making us lose our position" my hollow said.
"No, I will continue to be Sakura Haruno till I die hear in the shinobi world. Here I feel more at peace and in control of myself, then I did over in the soul society. Unless they show up here and I am forced to show who I am" I said smugly at her.
"Fine, I too like this world and being here has increased your spiritual pressure immensely. Mostly because it's higher here and you haven't used any in a long time. But seeing as you were reborn here, you are going to have to train to get me under control and your zanpakto also. On the good news you don't have to turn into a soul to train, because of the high pressure" she said. And for once I to took notice of it and she was right the pressure here was higher.
Pov ? Normal
It had been three days now after the war and both of the boy were back alive. Sasuke was pardon of all his crimes as long as he stayed with in the village for an entire year and helped rebuilt. For once everything seemed to be going fine.
After Sasuke put Sakura in that genjutsu she hasn't woken up, but he says that she should either today or tomorrow.
"Man why you had to do that to her, she just wanted to help you as much as everyone else" Naruto said as he dragged Sasuke to visit Sakura in the hospital.
"Hn, she would have gotten in the way" was all he said.
"Well as long as you apologize, and mean it just maybe she will forgive you. And maybe help you also" Naruto snickered at Sasuke.
"What do you mean, loser" Sasuke said at the giggling blonde.
"Well, in order to restore your clan you will have to marry someone for that to happen, ya know" said the blonde.
"Hn" Sasuke said thinking about what the blonde said and he was right. Sakura was, no is the only one that he could tolerate enough to spend the rest of his life with. At least she changed for the better, and she was a good enough shinobi. Plus with her perfect chakra control that would benefit a growing clan. Yes, he could see it now his children growing strong because of her chakra control.

I felt myself slowly starting to wake up. For a moment I thought that I would still be in the midst of war, but to my surprise I awoke to a hospital room, were that was still unclear. Then the door opened, I moved just in time that Naruto fell on the ground.
"That was mean Sakura, I just wanted to hug you" Naruto said as he got up from the ground.
"Hn, idiot" said the second voice, and to my utter surprise it was Sasuke.
"He will die by our hands" said my hollow.
"No, we keep him alive he might be of use to us in the long run. Besides I was thinking of restarting my clan here and he could help with that" I said in my mind back to her.
"Hay Sakura did you hear me" said the blonde waving his hand in front of my face. Man he reminds me so much of Kaien Shiba, that it was comforting.
"Sorry, I was lost in thought. What did you say?"
"I said that me, you, and that bastard are going to eat with the others" Naruto said with excitement.
"Okay, but first get me some fresh cloth" I said not being able to turn him down.
"Hn, here" Sasuke said giving me a bag of cloth.
"Thanks, now get out both of you" I said.
"Okay, we will be outside waiting" said the blonde.
I was glad that he had thought of bringing me cloth. I quickly put on the legging shorts and a dark purple dress much like the one that I wore as a genin.
"So how are we going to get back on track with your training"pale me said.
"Well I've been thinking and I'm going to ask Lady Tsunade to give me time away. Kind of like she did when she started to travel" I said.
"Well I guess that it won't hurt to try that"
"Yea, I'm thinking that we will need at least 3-4 years to get up to speed. Also in a week or so people are going to start to notice some changes in my body"
"That's right I forgot that with your memories back you will start to change back to what you looked before Sakikugetsu gave you the option to be reborn"
"Yes, and it would be weird if my hair suddenly grew out to my waist, or if my boobs grew, or my height changed. Man this is such a pain" I said.
"That's another thing, the way you act, everyone will think that you're a fake"
"Right, I will have to act but only for a few days" I said opening the door to a pair of boys that I knew all too well.
"Alright, let's go the others are waiting for us. Man this is going to be the first time that the 12 I mean 11 are in one place, plus Sai" said the blonde boy.
"That's right we lost Neji" I said as we got closer to the barbeque restaurant.
"Well it's about time that you guys got here" said a bored looking Nara.
"Hay look Sakura is awake" said Ino.
After we all sat down and talked and ate I decided that the sooner that I got permission to leave the sooner I left.
"Well guys as much as I would like to stay and chat more I have to go see Lady Tsunade about something" I said getting up.
"What, but you just woke up" "You just got here" I hear them all say at once but I still left to go find Tsunade.
Sasuke pov
"She sure was in a hurry to leave" said the Nara.
Yea now that I think about it she was, like she's hiding something from everyone.
"Now that you mentioned it she seemed a bit off to me too" said the Yamanaka.
"Don't worry guys she just woke up, and is probably just a bit out of it" said Naruto.
Well whatever it was I will find out.
Sakura pov
Man it looks like not even war could change Tsunade's bad habit of falling asleep on her desk.
"My Lady" I said as I shook her awake.
"Mmmm, What, Oo Sakura what can I do for you" she said as she wiped sleep out of her face.
"Well with the war over, and with this peace I would like to request some time to myself, and to help those that need it. Also I feel like I could do with some time away from everything" I said.
"I see your point and while I wouldn't usually give permission, I will. Only because you look like you need it" she said. "How long"
"If possible 3 years because I would also like to train some" I said.
"Fine, take as long as you like as long as you come back alive" she said.
"I will" I said.
By the time I was ready to go and outside of my home, Naruto and Sasuke were walking my way, great just what I needed.
"At least be a good girl and say goodbye" my hollow said.
"Hay, Sakura are you going some were" said the blonde.
"Yes actually I am, I'm going to travel for while" I said.
"But why we just got everyone back" he said.
"Hn, just let her be" said Sasuke.
"Don't worry I will be back before you know it and then it will be like old times as though no one ever left, ok" I said
"Fine but you better keep in touch" said the blonde.
"I will" I said leaving the village that will surly change a lot by the time I come back.
Disclamer – nothing but the plot is mine.
