Title: Then the Girl Fell

Author: Riia Herogoochi

Sakura walked up the few steps to her apartment building. Feeling exhausted and drained from her shift at the hospital. 23 patients and none of them were anything but easy. Her charka was drained completely and didn't help much that she lived so far away. She'd have to move closer, there was no way in hell she was going to do this during the winter season where she would freeze half way home.

"Haruno-Chan…" Sakura turned around to see a masked ANBU talking to her." I've been calling you for a few minutes, are you feeling alright?"

Sakura felt stupid. He had been trailing her and calling her. What was wrong with her? She needed sleep and fast.

"Yeah I'm fine what is it that you need me for?" She wanted to information and as fast as possible and to head home for a well deserved nap.

"It's an urgent manor we need to inform you…" Suddenly Sakura was suddenly alert.

"What is it?"

"It is classified information that I need you to be informed by Lady Hokage. I am truly sorry but Lady Hokage said just to inform you, nothing more." With out once touch more of information, the mask ANBU left. Sakura felt a rush of adrenaline and she was off. She reached the center building in record time.

.

"Ah Sakura, I suppose the ANBU reached you in time." Tsunade said in a calm voice. Sakura felt her left eye twitched with annoyance.

"You wished to see me milady?"

"Yes actually it's about your team…"Sakura felt her heart speed up and her palms grow sweaty. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves.

"Sakura, Uzumaki has arrived…" Tsunade trailed off for a moment letting Sakura's thoughts turn for the worst.

'What had Naruto done?. The idiot, he better not have gotten hurt. The idiot he-he if he's hurt in any way she'd-beat him-with an inch of his life. Seriously!"

"He's just come back from his mission with Kakashi and Sai." Tsunade said as if it wasn't such a big deal?! Then why'd the ANBU come to request her presents at Tsunade's?

"So-so what did you need me for milady?" sakura said trying to hide her relieve that he was safe.

"Sakura this is an S-Ranked Mission. Refusal isn't an option, its true but I'm sorry. Sakura-dear there is a 98.3 chance that you won't come back alive. Sakura I'm willing to strip you off your shinobi status for a time being and let you still work at the hospital. Until the mission if filled by someone else. But right now you're the only one available at the moment." Tsunade said never breaking eye contact. "So what is it Sakura. Go on the mission, or work at the hospital full time as a regular citizen for an unspecific amount of time?" Tsunade said silently hoping she would refuse the mission. She couldn't bear to see Sakura dead, just like all her loved ones. After a long moment, sakura held her head high, nothing showing on her face. She answered…

"When do I leave?" Tsunade held back tears.

"In four hours." It came out a bare whisper that was all sakura needed. She disappeared leaving Tsunade to grieve alone, she had a lost another. One more person precious she had lost to death. That day sealed sakura's fate forever more.

4 years later

"Are you ready to go?" a males deep voice asked. The figure nodded silently. "Are you scared? Worried maybe?"

"You asked as if you care? No I heed no emotions of worry or fright. Let's go…Uchiha-sama…" They disappeared leaving a single stray petal. A lone withered pink petal.
