It was a beautiful cloudless night in Shizume city, the stars twinkled clearly and the moon shone brightly-unhindered by any clouds. A slight breeze picked up a girl's shoulder-length hair, whipping across her face while she was walking. The moonlight illuminated the girl's bubble pink hair for a second.

The girl closed her eyes. She could almost heard Naruto's laughter in the air-calling her name, Tsunade-shisou's stern voice, Kakashi's calming presence behind her, Shikamaru's lazy voice that always said 'troublesome' at the Rookie 9's barbecue party, Tenten and Ino's chuckling, Hinata's confession to Naruto, Kiba's jokes, Neji's presence, Lee youthful speeches, even Shino's bugs buzzing-the last time they ever met together before the fourth ninja world war.

A lone tear escaped her eyes unconsciously.

'No, I can't cry. It's already over.' She thought as she quickly shook her head and furiously wiping it away with her long sleeves dress.

She opened her eyes and looked up at the night sky with a longing expression. The beautiful night contrasted her surpressed sadness. The twinkling stars seemed to be mocking her from the distant.

She sighed softly.

It had been 2 years since Haruno Sakura found herself as her 12 years old self in this particular city, and not one day could she forget 'that one particular day'-the day when she was killed by the juubi after the alliance were losing badly against Madara. She had watched The Rookie 9 fallen one by one in front of her eyes,... the death of Team 7-even Sasuke after he had agreed to help them-for taking a blow meant for her.

They had fallen one by one from her side. Her hands were stained red with her friends dried blood. She still remembered the feeling of hopelessness and uselessness overwhelming her. Her prodigal medical skills couldn't save them, not even one of them.

She was too late.

Useless.

She thought after her trainings with Tsunade-shisou, she could finally stand on equal grounds with her teammates not going to chase them again..., but of course in the end it was all for naught.

When she made her last standing against the juubi, she could clearly see the juubi's tailed beast ball coming towards her. She knew it was too late to dodge, she didn't even bothered to attempt it. She could feel her death coming closer, but she couldn't feel anything, no remorse, no fear, no nothing. Instead she felt strangely relieved, that finally she would stopped feeling the guilt and loss of her friends. She knew the tailed beast ball hit her and was certain that she was dead before everyhing went black.

But of course, fate seemed to have another idea for her.

She didn't know what or how it happened, but the next thing she knew, she had found herself in her 12 years old body waking up in an unfamiliar dark alley-with extremely tall buildings surrounding the place. She was astounded at first, wondering idly if this was after-life, but then she crushed the idea as she felt pain flaring up from her still-bleeding wounds which she quickly tended to.

She walked out of the alley to a big street full of people. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and decided to wander around the town first-to see how far was this town to Konoha.

That's when she noticed that it was all different from the elemental countries, and people didn't seem to recognize ninja when asked. People here was just normal civilians, nothing more nothing less. No one here even knew how to use chakra. She wondered if this was a second life chance or something for her and tried to punch the ground with a little chakra-leaving a little crater around her tiny fist-feeling pleased that she could still do it.

At first she tried to search for Konoha, but it was futile as no one ever heard of Konoha in the first place. In the end though, she had accepted the fact that she was stuck in this world and was adapting here slowly, sleeping on the benches in the park, taking showers at public's toilet, and earning some money by working part time as a shopkeeper in a jewelry shop-the payment was only enough for her necessities unfortunately, still not enough to rent a place to sleep in.

She had made sure that she was acting as civilian-like as possible though so she would blend with the society and stay low-never using her super human strength nor her medical powers else she afraid the people here wouldn't take it very well-though she still exercised herself to make sure she didn't turn rusty. After all, a ninja had to be prepared against anything and couldn't be caught off-guard.

A loud banging sound of gunshots from the rooftop of the building beside her snapped her out of her thoughts. Her old ninja instinct flared warningly. Sakura whipped her head to the source of the sound. Almost automatically, she quickly went to the building and took the elevator. A thought whether this was actually a good idea crossed her mind but she ignored it-her curiousity and ninja nature winning over.

She pushes the door open to the rooftop to see a figure laying immobile under a pool of blood in someone's arms. From the corner of her eyes she could saw a blonde man calling someone and spoke with grieve driven word. The feeling of sadness and sorrow rolling from them hit her like bricks.

She looked at the scene and couldn't help but feeling out-of-place. She hesitated in her steps, unsure of what to do, when the blonde man caught her eyes. The blonde man narrowed his eyes in suspicion but she also caught the surpressed sadness and hopelessness in his eyes-the same look she had become used to see in her own reflection every day.

Really, her conscience wouldn't leave her alone if she didn't try to help them at least.

Sakura sighed making her decision and walked forward fastly to the bleeding figure before the blonde man could try to stop her. The teenager who cradled the bleeding man turned his head to her when she dropped to her knees beside them.

"What do you want? " the teenager asked in a quivering tone because of the sobs.

"Healing him." She said curtly.

Her hands already hovering over his bloodied chest. Her demeanor had changed to her medic mode automatically.

She assesed the situation within a second.

Two bullets embedded inside his chest, dangerously nearing his heart and a severe case of bloodlost. His heart was beating very very weakly-but still there and he had just stopped breathing when she came-fortunately, if not then this might be a lost case.

'He doesn't have much time left' She thought.

She quickly began to work. Her hands glowing green with her medical chakra. First she needed to take out the bullets...carefully. She felt her chakra seeped through his chest, pinpointing the location of the bullets. She envelopped her chakra around them and pulled them out with a tug. The two alumunium cylinders clang at the roof floors beside the man.

She nodded to herself, satisfied with her handy work before doing the last step. She reached out her chakra to jolt his heart and couldn't help but sighed in relieve as his heart started beating steadily under her hands. His body spasmed under her hands and coughed up blood before his chest started to rise and fall heavily.

She observed the man as she lifted her hands. His face was sweaty and pale from the previous bloodlost but she was sure he would survive. She wiped her sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and stood up. She noticed that the teenager from earlier had cried in relieve as he saw the man that she healed before had started breathing again and the blonde man had also hovered quietly beside the man looking incredibly relieved.

She looked at the scene with a smile tugging the corner of her lips. No matter how many times she had saved lives ,the sight of their families' relieved faces always made her felt genuinely happy for them. She glanced behind her once more before slipping through the open door quietly back to the street to her 'home'-leaving the scene now that she wasn't needed anymore.
