Sakura sat on her bed, staring out the window.
Her greif was held inside of her.
Her new Anbu mask was in her hands, the fox face shining brightly.
Looking at the picture next to her, her heart clenched.
I've..worked so hard. Now that I'm Anbu.. What can I do?
Sakura sighed.
The first of her class, and she had accomplished it at sixteen years old.
Naruto was yet to return from his failed 'Retrive Sasuke' mission, and he would be shocked and infuriated at the news.
Sakura could feel that he hadn't got Sasuke.
Brushing her hair behind her ear, a sudden idea rose in her.
"What if.."
Looking at the black Anbu back-pack on her floor, she got up and rushed to her closet.
Pulling open the sliding doors, she picked out her Anbu uniform, and slipped it on quickly.
After she tied her long hair, she put on her fox mask.
The mask covered half of her face, leaving her green eyes and lips to show.
Sakura packed extra clothes and money, and wrote a letter to not come after her, and that she would come back.
"I hope they don't change my status to missing.."
Sakura tied her old headband on her head.
Jumping to her window, she looked back at her room.
Noticing the picture on her bed, she finally stuffed it into her bag.
Turning away from her window, she jumped onto the next rooftop.
Her house wasn't far from the gate, so it didn't take her much time to get there.
Sakura noticed the guard, and tried to act casual.
"Ninja!" He yelled, walking towards her.
Sakura turned towards the man.
"Identify yourself!" He stopped, crossing his arms.
Lifting her mask, she smiled.
"Ahh. I knew it was Haruno! I just wanted to congragulate you on your new title! You look amazing."
Sakura smiled and thanked him, while Inner Sakura was rolling her eyes.
"I was wondering…Sakura..If maybe, we could.." The young man rubbed his head, blushing.
Sakura continued to smile, trying not to seem annoyed.
"To go to..dinner?" He smiled, the fear of rejection shone brightly.
"SAY NO! HE IS WASTING OUR TIME!" Sakura ragged.
"Yeah! As soon as I get back, we can go out to dinner! That sounds great!" Sakura smiled.
"My name is Karu, by the way." He shook her hand.
"Well, I gotta.."
He nodded, turning back to go to his guard.
"Bye Karu!" She said as she left the village.
Staring at the fork in the road, she diecided to go to the left.
Sakura wasn't sure where to look first, but maybe she will come across some village, and they will know if he has been through there.
'Why am I so intent on looking for him wh-'
"DON'T TALK LIKE THAT! BE POSITIVE!" Inner Sakura chanted.
Sakura nodded.
'But what makes us so sure we can get him if Naruto can't?'
"Nothing can get in the way of love."
Sakura smiled.
'I guess your right.'
Sakura heard a small twig crack, and she swiftly avoided three kunai.
Sakura saw the explosive tags on them, and back flipped out of the way.
Frowning, she looked around.
Feeling the presence behind her, she kicked their legs out from under them, and drew out a kunai.
The boy got up and ran at her again, a kunai in his hand and mouth.
Sakura dodged the sharp tip of his kunai, and punched the mans face.
The man flew back, and hit a tree, obviously unable to move by the chakra she hit his nerves with.
Approaching him, she saw no village identification.
Kneeling she looked in his purple eyes.
His white hair was disheveled from the attack.
"Who are you?"
He looked up at her, obviously angry he had lost.
She wondered why he hadn't used to big sword on his back.
Which looked strangely familiar.
"I would..watch out if I were you."
Sakura did a quick chakra scan, and found none but the boys and her.
"Who are you? What is your name?" She asked again.
He looked away from her.
"I will let you go, if you tell me." She offered.
He looked back at her.
"Suigetsu." Sakura nodded.
"Where are you from? What village?"
"…Sound. I'm no longer apart of it." He answered.
Sakura nodded.
"Sound, eh?" Her goal popped in her mind.
"Have you seen Uchiha Sasuke?" She asked.
"Yes. I have, but I won't tell you. You are Anbu from the Leaf."
Sakura took of her mask, and took out her hair from its rubber-band.
"I am Sakura Haruno. I'm from the Hidden Leaf Village, Konohagakure. I just became Anbu, first of my class."
She stook out her hand, knowing his nerves were calm.
He took it, smiling now.
"I didn't know you were so beautiful!" He flirted.
Rolling her eyes, but blushing, she helped him up.
"Hey, Sui, why did you attack me anyways?" She asked laughing.
"I was bored!" Suigetsu laughed " And whats up with the Sui?"
Sakura liked him so far.
"Well.. I thought it was..cute!" Sakura elbowed him, and he smiled.
"Saku…No..Blossom. Yes! I will call you Blossom!"
Sakura walked the path with him.
"Blossom, eh? How un-original!" She teased softly.
"Un-original!"
Sakura laughed.
"I was teasing!"
Suigetsu stopped.
"I have to go now.."
Suigetsu said.
"W-what?" Sakura was comforted having him there.
"I have to..return to camp."
"I'm not invited?" She pushed him lightly, and he looked at her unsurely.
He jumped onto the tree branch, and motioned for her to follow.
After slipping on her mask, and tieing her hair, she followed.
"Blossom..What buisness do you need with Uchiha?" Sakura leaped next to him.
"No reason. I was just wondering." She lied.
"Ahh. Well, be cool when we get there, ok?"
Sakura nodded, suddenly getting nervous.
After five minutes of laughing and talking, Sakura was suddenly attacked by one kunai.
Front-flipping onto the field below, she was in a camp.
Suigetsu looked down at her and around.
Sakura heard footsteps, and turned around, seeing a girl with red hair and glasses rushing at her.
Sakura took out a paper bomb, and quickly tied it to a kunai.
Jumping back, she threw it at the girl, suddenly angry that hse had been tricked.
The bomb exploded on the unlucky girl, and Sakura smelt the girls blood.
"Shit.." She whispered.
When the smoke cleared, she jumped down to the girl, Suigetsu following.
Sakura glared at him mis-trustfully as she knelt next to the red haired-girl.
The girl was knocked out, and she had a wound on her thigh.
Sakura was able to quickly heal it, and place the girl in the tent Suigetsu had pointed to.
Sakura stepped out, wiping her hands.
"Suigetsu!" She yelled, advancing on him.
He raised his hands. " I didn't know she would attack you- Shit."
Suigetsu was looking behind her, his eyes wide.
Sakura turned, and saw a silouhette.
Sakura took out shuriken.
"Is he going to attack me, Sui?" She asked.
With no reply to come, she kept her eyes on the man.
Nobody moved.
Sakura threw the kunai, and the figure jumped into the moonlight.
Red eyes glared at her, three coma's in them.
His black hair whipped in the wind, and he was wearing a purple vest with a purple rope to hold his purple robe in place. The rode drapped over the black pants he had on.
Dieciding to keep who she was a secret for as long as possible, she set the weapons back into her holster, keeping her eyes on him.
Suigetsu sat at the fire, dragging Sakura with him.
Sasuke followed, caution in his steps.
Sakura sat next ot Sui, Sasuke sitting across from them.
"Suigetsu..Why would you bring a Anbu here?" Sasuke said, calmly holding back his anger.
"S-she..Shes cool! She isn't gonna say anything, right blossom?" Sakura had a slight frown on her face, and although they couldn't see, her aura showed it.
"..Yes. I'm not planning to say I met a S-class criminal and didn't attempt to capture him."
Sasuke glared at her.
"…You wouldn't be able to." He said.
"Teme, don't push it." Sakura warned. (A.N: Teme: Bastard.)
"Teme?"
Sakura nodded.
Sasuke stood and took out his katana.
"Lets spar."
Sakura stood and took out her kunai.
"Lets."
"Suigetsu stood between them.
"No! T-that's not-"
"Shut up Suigetsu!" They both shouted.
Sakura launched at him, and he launched at her, surprising him, she did a cart-wheel to the right, and did ten complicated hand-signs.
Sakura smirked.
A green wind-like aura was around her hand, and she jumped into the sky, doing five more hand signs, the green aura engulfed her whole body.
Landing on the ground, a harsh wind rushed at all of them, affecting everyone excpet Sakura.
A earth quake that only they could feel, shook the ground, making Sasuke unsteady.
Sakura did three hand signs, and she was in a clear ball.
"NO SAKURA! WE CANT KILL THEM!" Inner Sakura screamed.
Sakura sighed, and did two hand signs to cancel it.
The green wind seemed to seep into her chest, and things were still.
"W-what was that, Blossom?" Suigetsu said, holding his chest, fear written on his face.
"My own jutsu." Sakura said proudly.
"What do you call it?"
"Tsu no yōso" She replied smoothly.
"Four? That was..two." Suigetsu said.
"I didn't complete it. It would..kill everybody in a six mile radius. Other than myself."
Suigetsu rushed up to her and hugged her.
Sakura smiled, and looked at Sasuke.
He was angry.
"Suigetsu! Go get some dinner."
Suigetsu let go of Sakura and left them both.
"Whats your name?" He asked, approaching her.
Sakura breathed in.
"..I can't tell you."
"Why not?" He asked, irratation entering his voice.
"Anbu." She pointed at her mask.
He stopped infront of her.
"You are also supposed to.. kill me."
Sakura smiled.
"I guess I am."
"Why didn't you?"
Sakura avoided his eyes.
"I-I..."
Sasuke's gaze was like a fiery laser.
"Just tell me the first letter of your name."
Sakura laughed at his child-like question.
"S."
"S…" He repeated.
"I see you belong to the Leaf."
Sakura nodded.
"..You need to leave, Sakura."
Sasuke turned and started walking away.
"S-Sasuke-kun!" She followed after him.
He stopped and looked at her, annoyance on his face.
She stopped.
'Please..don't look at me like that.'
"Just..Please." She whispered.
"Please what?"
"Come back with me!" Sasuke shook his head.
"WHY NOT!"
"I can't." He replied, staying calm.
Sakura ripped off her mask, and pulled out her hair.
"Look! I-I'm not like the other Sakura! I..I'm Stronger!"
Sasuke looked her up and down.
"And?" He agreed.
"And..And I'm not..I won't be annoying!"
"…You were never the problem, Sakura."
Sakura's green eyes widened.
"I-I'm not?" She asked.
Sasuke shook his head.
She fell to her knees, smiling and laughing, lears falling from her eyes.
She had always blamed herself.
Wiping the tears, she stood on wobbly legs.
"Sasuke, why can't you come back then?" She said, no longer smiling.
"…I havn't completed my revenge, Sakura."
Sakura looked at the ground.
"Ah. Revenge."
"You don't unders-"
"You havn't heard, then?" She said.
"Heard what..?"
"The akatsuki..They..They killed my parents, Uncle, Aunt and baby cousin."
Sasuke was shocked, his eyes wide.
"W-what? Why?" He felt pity for her.
Sakura remembered that she had came from the Hokages tower just after her graduation.
Two days ago.
Her heart broke again.
She blocked the memories.
"I..I wasn't told why." She said.
Sasuke looked at her.
She wasn't crying, just standing strong.
He knew what it felt like, inside she was crying.
"…Sakura.."
"Are you looking for Itachi? He is apart of the Akatsuki..I could come with you."
Sakura looked at Sasuke.
"…Fine, Sakura. Just don't get annoying."
