This is my newest story, called, Sacrifice. It's about how Sakura goes thought love, hate, and betrayal. When she thinks that her team is protecting her…they turn on her…and with what seems like no reason…

It was raining…..it was dark…..and everyone, cried,
It was they're fault, that she was gone…and yet..they cried.
"we are gathered here today, to morn and honor Hinata, Ino…and Sakrua"
To the left of the cemetery stood what was left of team 10. Silent tears fell from Naruto's eyes and peacefully landed on the ground along with the rain……
"it was us…..who killed her….wasn't Lee?"
"We did this for our village Naruto…she saved our village…"
"No…THEY saved our village
"they we're killed by the Akatsuki: members and they died for our country, they died for all of you..all of us." As the Hokage spoke she burst out in tears knowing that, if she wouldn't have given them that mission they would all be alive…well most of them would be.
The rain continued to fall and Naruto sank to his knees. "I should have asked him when I had the chance she would still be….alive.
…………………
Sakura was on her way to the Hokage's office, she had sent an ANBU to get her at Midnight, A few minutes ago, and she could hardly wait to get there, the sooner she did the sooner she could continue to sleep.
It was warm out but with a chilly breeze. "Man I wish that I would have brought my freaken jacket", she looked down at her brown shorts and white tank top, "and some pants."
She stopped walking and turned her head to a bench sitting by the hedge of town. That spot…that was the spot were Sasuke left her…alone…"Thank you"….she heard the words ring in her ears… "Thank you"… she felt tears…but she swept them away and smiled.
"Come on Sakrua your over him remember?" her inner self yelled with confidence.
She was close enough to an ANBU so she knew she couldn't cry anymore…she was a medic Nin too, even better than Tsunade (the 5th) so they said…
"Hey Sakura-Chan"! Called an all to well known voice "what are you doing at THIS hour!!"
She turned and saw Naruto running towards her. Over the years he hadn't changed much, his out fit was different, he now had an orange and black top with black pants, He also matured-
"your not thinking about that bastard Sasuke are you?"
Well a little bit…
"No Naruto!" I said thought gritted teeth. "Now keep your voice down people are trying to sleep!" I walked over to him and glared "and speaking of sleeping…why are you here at this time of night?"
"Oh" he started "Tsunade sent for me, she said something about a mission, why are you here?
"I have also been requested by her, that's very strange…why would she want both of us? And at this hour!!"
"your right Sakura, this is Strange… why would she request the Four of us?"
We both turned and saw Neji making his way towards us
"you to huh?" I asked nodding at him as he came to a stop.
He nodded also and looked at Naruto " I would understand why she would want Sakura and I but you are out of the question".
Naruto's mouth dropped down and he glared at Neji.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN OUT OF THE QUESTION?" Naruto boomed holding up his fist
I looked and saw Hinata standing behind Neji. "So you're the fourth Hinata four a second there I thought Neji didn't know how to count" I said with a smirk
Neji starred at me with a confused expression on his face. I wonder if he knew I was kidding.
" ha you just got burned Neji!" yelled Naruto
" burned?" he looked down and rasied an eyebrow " what the hell are you talking about Naruto?"
Question answered.
"I-I t-think he m-meant that Sakura W-was b-being sarcastic n-n-Neji" said Hinata
"Hey four head girl what are you doing hear?" Called Ino
"Oh god let this be a joke!" I growled
"I believe that is…5 right Sakura?" Said Neji with a smirk
I glared at him and smiled (sweetly) "Wow Neji you're getting very good at this".
His smirk was replaced with a frown as I herd Ino and I turned around.
"What know Ino?"
"…"
"What"! I asked irritated with her absent words
"You called me Ino"?
"Well that is your name am I correct?"
"Well you usually call me Ino-pig or something!"
I raised my eye brow and started to speak. "Sometimes…Ino we just need to…grow up, ya know?"
She looked down and started to play with her hair. I scowled myself for being to hard I really don't know why I called her Ino but I knew it was too late and I would always call here that from know on.
"Lets just go" I started "we don't want to be late".
They all nodded and we started to walk away. My eyes fell onto the bench and I let my self morn one last time before I was forced to turn around and continue walking. I would never forget how he made be miserable and I would always hold the grudge, I was always told how stubborn I could be.
"My sweet sweet flower what are you doing out here all alone and unprotected?"
I looked up and say Lee jump down from a building right in front , followed by Kiba who kept his distance.
"7". Said Naruto with a smirk
"W-What are you doing here Kiba…Lee?" I asked taking a step away from Lee.
Lee smiled and took my hand. "Well". He started. "Tsunade-
"Ya ok can we go know? And Get your Damn hand off of my Sakura-Chan!!!" Naruto screamed and hit Lee upside the head.
Lee fell and glared at Naruto. "Defeated by an idiot as your self is so heart breaking…So if I can't run around this town 30 times then I will-
"Skip it Lee" Said Neji. "We need to get to Tsunade's office NOW!"
We again stated to walk, I looked over at my companions; Naruto was looking ahead, his eyes full of determination…plus hunger.
Hinata was talking to Ino quietly while Ino combed her hair with her hands
Kiba was petting Akamaru and 'talking' to him.
Lee was running in slow motion while saying something like "90 laps….Naruto….lovely…Sakura….man my….hurts." That's all I could make out.
I then looked at Neji and say that he was looking at me and I instantly turned away.
"Why the hell was he looking at you? I mean you're not even that attractive?" Said Inner Sakura.
Oh god your still here? I yelled I thought you would have followed Sasuke and bugged him to death!
Ha ha ha very funny miss-I-cry-myself-to-sleep-every-night!
Hmmm
"Sakura"?
I looked at Naruto "what"?
"Are you ok"? He stepped towards me "you don't look so good".
I don't feel so good. I thought. "I'm fine Naruto I'm just a little tired is all.
He nodded and opened the door to Tsunade's office.
"Wait"! Cried Kiba
What now"!!!! Yelled Neji and Naruto at the same time.
"If she's drunk…run far away".
"…"
"…"
"Lets just go" I said and pushed past Neji and opened the door.
I was expecting a drunken Tsunade, but she wasn't drunk but she was…asleep.
"Good she's' sleeping" said Kiba. "lets leave and come back tomorrow!"
For some reason he had developed a fear of her and now hates to have to come in here.
"No, I'm awake please sit down".
We looked over at Tsunade and she was now standing up.
We all took a seat around her desk.
She sat down in her chair and sighed
"well your all here for a mission…the same mission…I need you guys to kill…the Akatsuki members…all of them,Kisame Hoshigaki, Tobi, Zetsu, Sasori and…Itachi…Uchiha.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"well maybe I was mistaken" started Kiba. "she really is drunk…can we leave now?'
"I'm not drunk you fool-
"no"
We all turned and starred at Neji
"We won't do it…wecan't do it".
"Neji…" Started Tsunade
"NO, you will NOT put anyone in danger…un less you take out Sakura, Hinata, Naruto, Ino, and Kiba!
N-Neji!! Cried Hinata. We can't refuse this mission!"
"Ya" yelled Naruto
Kiba and Lee nodded
Ino acted like she wasn't listing which I don't think she was.
I stayed silent not wanting her to repeat those last words "Itachi…Uchiha…"
"Why, would you want us to even attempt to kill them?" I yelled
"…"
"why would you say that when you know that we would never be able to scratch them?!!!"
She sat up and slammed her hands on her desk. "BECAUSE SASUKE COUNLDN'T!!!"
Everyone was silent, no one moved, no one breathed. All eyes were on me.
"So…he's…dead?" I asked
"I-I don't know, but All I know is that he hasn't made a move to do anything…and…he might not."
That was always the plan…we were going to leave the killing to Sasuke because they assumed that he would kill them all, to kill Itachi, that was when he left, that was 3 years ago and we aren't 15 anymore…"he's probably dead by now." They would say.
"So you want us to risk OUR lives so we can TRY, and kill them!" yelled Naruto.
"I need everyone to leave the room except Lee, Neji, and Kiba". She said as she sat back down.
I got up and left the room followed by Ino, Hinata, and Naruto.
He shut the door behind him.
He frowned as Ino ran to the door and put her ear on it. She was smirking like there was no tomorrow. "I'll tell you guys what they're saying!!"
"Let's see…" she repeated what she could here. "We need...blah blah blah… A Sacrifice..."
We all stopped breathing and starred at Ino hard. Her smirk fell and her eyes went wide with fear, she pulled her ear away from the door and gasped.
"What did you hear Ino!?" Asked Naruto
"Um nothing just that they would have to kill a bird as a…um… Sacrifice."
"Is that it?" I asked in an irritated tone
"Y-yes" she stammered.
The door then opened and Neji plunged down the stairs followed by Kiba anger was written all over they're faces.
We all looked in the room and say Lee on his hands and knees tears flowing down his face, and Tsunade was no where to be found.
"Lee-San?" I reached out a hand to him and he stopped crying he looked up at me and smiled "come Sakura-Chan you must get ready for your mission we leave tomorrow!" He grabbed my hand and dragged me down the stairs I could still see tears in his eyes as we passed the bench…
