A/N: Yep, It's another crossover brought to you by me. This one should be interesting for all you loyal readers. I don't think I've ever read a fanfic quite like this one. But be warned this chapter is going to be very sad. I nearly cried the whole time I wrote it…sniff Well, remember that speaking is in "…" and thinking is in '…'
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach. I would really really like to get them as a going back to school gift, but that's up to Mr. Kishimoto and Mr. Kubo.
Four Messed Up Love Lives
Chapter 1
Tsunade was walking though the hospital looking for her pink haired student. As luck would have it, Tsunade saw Sakura exiting a patient's room just down the hallway.
"And remember, those wounds won't heal if you don't eat your carrots." Sakura said. Tsunade heard the patient laugh. With a smile Tsunade tapped Sakura's shoulder.
"Your not to busy with the patients to help me are you?" She asked. Sakura shook her head.
"Of course not Lady Tsunade." Sakura followed the Hokage to the office. When they arrived Sakura saw that Rock Lee was standing there, apparently waiting for Tsunade.
"You wanted to see my Lady Tsunade?" Lee bowed to the Hokage. He glanced curiously at Sakura.
"Hello Sakura. Are you here for a mission as well?" Lee asked. Sakura shrugged.
"I don't know yet. Somebody won't tell me." Sakura rolled her eyes at Tsunade. Tsunade sat down at her desk and picked up a piece of paper.
"Ok enough with the jokes. I have a very serious mission for you two. I think you're the only ones who could complete it, and I have total faith in you. There has been some trouble in the land of Flowers. Gang trouble. Most of the villagers just ignore the gangsters and do what they're told but there are a few rebels. We've gotten wind that these gangsters want to start killing the rebel leaders. There is one leader in particular. She is the main leader of all the rebel groups. You job is to go and protect this leader and eliminate the gangs. Got it?" Tsunade looked up from the paper and waited for an answer.
"Understood." Sakura and Lee said in unison. The two then left the office.
"I'll met you at the village gates in an hour." Sakura uttered to Lee.
"Right. I will see you then." Lee and Sakura walked in opposite directions, towards their own house.
'This mission does sound pretty dangerous…But I know that with Lee on my team we'll finish it.' Sakura thought as she walked. Since Sasuke's departure last year, Sakura had been feeling very empty inside. There were times when she wouldn't eat or talk to anybody. But Lee noticed, and he tried to help her out as much as possible. He had always been such a good friend to her.
'I'm going to be all alone with Lee on a life threatening mission…still, squad 7 did plenty of missions like that….' Sakura fought back some tears as memories flooded back to her.
'This might be good for me. I need to get over Sasuke and now is the perfect time to do it.' She opened the door to her apartment with confidence. She grabbed some clothes, her toothbrush, and other necessary items. An hour later both Lee and Sakura stood in front of Konoha, Sakura wearing a blue backpack and Lee a green one.
"Here we go. Are you ready?" Lee asked. Sakura nodded.
"I'm ready." The two teens started walking towards the land of Flowers. It took them 6 hours to reach their destination. They started to climb up a hill. Both Sakura and Lee put their headbands in their pockets and climbed the rest of the hill. Sakura gasped when she saw the remains of the once peaceful land. The gangs had destroyed everything. The buildings were crumbled, the air smelled like spray paint, and all the villagers wore ragged and dirty clothing.
"Wow, those gangs did a lot of damage to this place…" Sakura muttered. They walked cautiously through the streets. It was easy to see who were the gangsters and who were the villagers. While the villagers looked miserable and depressed the gangsters walked with their heads held high and had a superior look about them. And they were staring at Sakura and Lee. Sakura felt her confidence slowly starting to drain away.
"Hey, that's Trayla! Get her!" The gangsters yelled as they reached into their pockets for a gun. One of the nearby villagers glanced over and moaned. The person was wearing a thick brown sweatshirt, and the hood was pulled down over the face. The villager ran over and grabbed onto Sakura.
"Let's move Miss!" The villager sighed and started dragging Sakura away. Lee automatically grabbed Sakura's arm but the villager continued to drag Sakura.
"Hurry, they'll kill us." The villager urged them forward. A few bullets came whizzing by and nearly hit them.
"Trayla the traitor is getting away!" The gangsters fired more shots.
"Who the heck are they talking about?" Lee wondered out loud.
"I will explain, just hurry." The villager promised.
"Where are you taking us?" Sakura asked. This villager could run fast, already the gangsters were falling behind. The villager remained silent.
"It sure is lucky those men can not run fast, or else they might have killed us." Lee pointed out. Him and Sakura were panting slightly from having to run so fast. The villager didn't slow down for at least an hour. Finally, as they neared the outskirts of town, the villager stopped.
"Please, answer our question. Who is Trayla?" Sakura demanded to know. The villager smirked.
"I am Trayla, number one leader of the Rebels." Trayla pulled down her hood and Lee thought he was looking at Sakura. Trayla's long pink hair was pulled into a tight bun. The pink wasn't as bright as Sakura and Trayla's eyes were brown. Still, they both looked very similar.
"I suppose you are the ninja I hired?" Trayla assumed.
"Yep, that's us." Lee replied.
"Sorry about that. I didn't know there was a ninja who looked so much like me. Now, what are your names?" Sakura and Lee stated who they were and Trayla held out her hand.
"It's good to meet you two." They all shook hands.
"I need to go get something, then we can go and take down those gangsters. Do you mind waiting here for me?" Trayla smiled as Lee answered
"No, not at all." Sakura watched as Trayla walked away, pulling her hood back up in the process.
"Hey Trayla, come on and fight!" Sakura and Lee gasped as the gangsters from before approached them. It was funny how the timing was working out. The gang leader, a tall and bald man, smirked.
"Got ya now Trayla. And your little boyfriend too." The leader raised a gun and shot a single bullet. Sakura's eyes widened.
'I have to move!' She thought. But her legs wouldn't budge.
"Sakura!" Lee yelled. The next few moments seemed to be in slow motion to Sakura. Lee was standing in front of her, his arms out wide. She saw the bullet slice through him. Tears stung her eyes and she heard herself mutter
"Why Lee?" Lee winced in pain as he turned to look at her. Sakura couldn't look away from Lee's dark eyes.
"I told you Sakura. I will protect you until the day I die. I just wish that that day would come later…." And then he fell to the ground, dead. Sakura was crying and she didn't notice somebody sneaking up behind her.
"Good bye Miss Haruno. See you in the next life." Somebody shouted from behind. Sakura recognized that voice, but couldn't think of who it was. She heard yet another gun go off and felt a burning pain in her shoulder. The gunman shot two more times.
'Sasuke? Lee? No, Sasuke isn't here and Lee is dead…they can't help me anymore…' Sakura thought. She was feeling oddly light, and her vision was growing dark. Another bullet ripped into her shoulder and the other one struck her left lung. Sakura fell beside Lee, dead even before she hit the ground. The unknown gunman and the gangsters all cheered and walked away. Gray clouds passed by and it started to rain. It rained harder then it had all month but none of the other villagers stopped to wonder why two hidden leaf shinobi were lying dead on the ground.
A/N: Yes, I know, sad. But I had a very good reason for killing the two best characters on the whole show. How else am I going to introduce the Bleach-ness? And I'm sorry if this chapter really wasn't that good, but I'll try to make up for it.
