"Thoughts"
"Inner"
"Normal talking"
Sakura Haruno is a kind, smart, and well-accomplished girl without a care in the world! Well that is how other people see her, but Sakura actually has been hiding secrets from everyone including her best friend Naruto for a very long time. Sakura has had her fair share of trials and tribulations however, unlike Naruto or Sasuke she can't openly tell anyone for fear of them finding out her secrets. The problem is that secrets usually can't stay secrets forever because they have a way of drawing the unwanted attention, so how well will Sakura handle this unwanted attention?

"Geez! I get it already… Stupid alarm!" A creamy white arm shot out from a cluster of blankets to shut off the loud alarm. "Ugh. It has been barely 5 hours from my last shift at the hospital, and I have to get up for my next shift already!" said a light and musical voice which belonged to the glowing emerald green eyes that peeked out of the blankets. "Oh well, I guess that means that I have become an important part of the hospital." With that said a cherry blossom pink head of hair rose out of the blankets with a yawn as her well-muscled arms reached above her to stretch. She threw her long legs over the side of the bed to get up, and dragged herself to the bathroom to start her morning routine, which begins with a nice hot shower to wake her up. She washed her waist length hair with her favorite cherry scented shampoo and conditioner, and then she used her vanilla scented body wash on her aching muscles. Once she finished her shower, she wrapped her lean but well-defined figure in a fluffy, and went back into her room to be changed. She wore her white doctor's lab coat which reaches to the back of her knees, red shoulder sleeve tank top with the Haruno symbol in the middle of her chest, a long black ankle length skirt with a slit up the right side that goes up to little less than mid-thigh with black shorts underneath. To wrap up her outfit she wore black open toed calf-high boots with 2-inch heels, and put her hair up into a high ponytail. To put it simply, she looked sexy in her outfit. Feeling satisfied with herself, she went down stairs to make herself some breakfast and coffee before she had to leave for her shift at the hospital. As she was stepping out the door to go to work she heard a voice inside her head say, "Sakura you need to go on your "vacation" soon otherwise your wild side will start taking control of your body." That voice is what Sakura calls Inner. Inner has been living inside of Sakura's body since the day she was born, keeping her away from any life threatening danger and will step in and give her advice when she thinks that Sakura needs it. However, Inner is not a very serious being; in fact, she is fun, loving, risqué creature that enjoys causing a bit of mischief. "Alright Inner, I will ask for my vacation after work today. I am actually surprised that I have lasted this long!" Sakura thought to Inner. "HA! You hide your wild side for an entire year except for two weeks for thirteen years, and you wonder how you last this long! Does the word endurance mean anything to you?" Inner said playfully."Considering that endurance is not exactly my forte no it doesn't." Sakura thought back. "Well, it is now!" Inner replied. With that, said Sakura set off to work at the hospital. As she passed, she received many greetings from friends she has made over the years and updates from the many patients she has helped since she became a medic. Once she arrived at the hospital, she started examining her list of patients, and a couple hours after that she was called in to help with the emergency surgeries on a team of injured Anbu. It was about 7 o'clock at night when she was finally finished with the emergencies. As soon as she said goodbye to her coworkers, Sakura went into her office and, she closed the curtains and locked the door. "Hey, are you going to be ok?" Inner said in a concerned voice,and just as soon as she said it, Sakura collapsed onto the floor in a shaking heap. "Sakura!" Inner cried out from within Sakura's mind, "I am ok Inner, I just over did it in the surgery is all" Sakura said as she tried to stop herself from shaking. Sakura began to grow a long, silky, a silvery pink tail, and ears. She started to grow large fangs, but as they started to form, she forced it back with an effort that left her gasping for air. After a few minutes passed, her breath came to her easier, and she stopped shaking. "Sakura you need to go to the Hokage to ask for your vacation now. You have already waited about 2 weeks longer than you normally would have. If you were any less concentrated you could have changed while you were in the last surgery, and not only expose yourself but would have endangered the life of your patient." Inner said in voice that she meant to be stern, but had an undertone of concern for her host. "You are right Inner I should have asked earlier for my leave, now I have to argue to get my vacation on the spot. I will go to Tsunade-sama to ask for my leave as soon as I finish up here," Sakura thought back to Inner. Sakura wrote up some new reports and updated some old ones on the patients she saw that day, and headed to the Hokage tower after locking up her office.
To Tsunade (Current hokage)
Tsunade had been working on documents in her office all day, and to make matters worse Shizune had hidden her sake. At the thought of that, Tsunade swore just as she heard a knock at the door. "That better not be Shizune with more paperwork, or kami help her when I get my hands on her," Tsunade thought darkly as she barked out, "Come in!" As she saw a certain pinkete from her door, she relaxed slightly, and said, "Sakura! What a pleasant surprise! What brings you here?" Sakura walked up to the front of Tsunade's desk after she shut the door behind her with a small smile on her face. "I would like to start my 2 week vacation that I have not taking yet this year." Sakura told Tsunade. Tsunade narrowed her eyes at Sakura and asked, "And what exactly has brought on this all of a sudden?" Sakura shrugged her shoulders and responded, "I have noticed that I have not gone on my annual vacation yet, and I have been feeling exhausted between my hospital shifts and what few missions I do. I thought it was about time I get myself some much needed rest and relaxation before I accidentally cut someone's heart out during a surgery." Tsunade sighed, and said, "Fine. You may have your leave time. I will come see you later, and we can walk around the village together or something." Sakura looked slightly nervous when she said, "Actually, I wanted to spend my vacation time somewhere else. You know… outside the village." Tsunade's eyes widened, and she said in a loud, surprised voice, "Why!? Did you finally hook up with some guy from outside the village! Was it that tall black haired boy from your last mission! I know you are young women now Sakura but-"Sakura turned red from embarrassment and interrupted Tsunade before she could grab the attention of one of the guards outside the door, "Shishou! I just want to take a vacation outside of the village! ALONE!" Tsunade looked at her student's flushed face, and huffed. "I thought she finally got herself a boyfriend, but no she wants to grow old and be a prude. At this rate I will never get any grandbabies to bounce on my knee, or to spoil when their mother is not looking." Tsunade let out a disappointed sigh, and then she straightened up as she spoke, "Sakura, I don't want you to leave the village. You have become a vital part of the hospital, and would rather have you here in case of emergencies." Sakura thought this would happen, so she came up with plan B. "That is too bad Tsunade-sama. Here I was prepared to give you a bottle of my specially brewed chakra infused sake as a parting gift, but if I can't leave the village than I might as well just dump this down the drain." Tsunade eyed the light pink bottle of sake with longing. She has not had any sake to drink all day, and it was starting to get to her. However, she refused to be bribed that easily, so she turned her head away to say, "I refuse to be bribed with a single bottle of sake." However, Sakura was well prepared for the occasion, and she pulled out a second bottle from who knows where. The action caused Tsunade to swiftly turn her head back at Sakura, and at the sight of the second specially brewed sake bottle, she felt her resolve crumble. "Ok Sakura you win! You get to have your two week vacation outside the village." Tsunade sighed as she accepted the two bottles of sake. Sakura beamed at Tsunade, and leaned over her desk to give her a hug. "Thank you so much! I will be sure to come back with a third bottle of sake specially brewed just for you!" Tsunade sighed as she returned the hug, and with a small smile she murmured, "I will hold you to that." After the embrace was over, Sakura waved to Tsunade as she left her office prepare for her trip As Sakura walked home, Inner decided it was a good time to say, "You know that guy from the last mission was totally into you" Sakura groaned as she continued her way home, ignoring Inner rambling about her nonexistent love life.
