Chapter 1 (EDITED)

As Sakura strolled the busy streets of Konoha, she whistled a soft tune. She was currently on her way to Ichiraku's, but once she arrived she immediantly noticed somthing off. Karin was crying and each of her friends were conforting her. You see Sasuke returned to Konoha a moth ago, after defeating Itachi that is, he claimed he wanted to rebuild his clan where it started. But Sasuke, however, did not return alone, he returned with team Hebi. Karin had immediantly taken a dislike to Sakura.

"How could you, Sakura?" Naruto asked harshly.

"Where's the chan?" She wondered. "Uhm..how could I what?"

"Don't play innocent, bitch! How could you threaten Karin-chan? She sweet and your just jealous that she's better than you!" Ino spat as if Sakura was lower the dirt.

"Right Sasuke-kun!" Karin sobbed falsely. "You weak, annoying, girl." Sasuke stated with no emotion what so ever.

"How low, Haruno." Neji glared.

Sakura's eyes widened. "But I didn't do anything!"

"Pfft. Stop lying Sakura!" Kiba yelled.

"Haruno, stop denying the obvious truth." Shino stated.

"But, I really didn't do anything! Don't you guys know me at all?" By now she was hoplessly shouting. She looked over at Shikamaru who she couldn't was bored or in thought. Possibly both?

"We thought we knew you," TenTen seethed. "But know we don't even know who you are, Sakura Haruno." Karin grined sinisterly, in reality she had spread all of those lies about Sakura. But come on didn't she deserve it? Sakura had everything, great friends, great strength, great abilities, and Karin had nothing. So what does she do she reverses it, pulls some strings, gets Sakura out of the village and boom Sasuke is hers, right?

"But-" Sakura was cut off by a pain stinging her across the cheeck. She looked upward. Hinata Hyuuga, had slapped her. She clutched her cheeck as she wobbled to regain her balance.

Tears spilled over her emerald eyes as she sprinted out of the door and toward her home. Atleast once she's there no one can harm her.

"Look, she's running away like the crybaby she is!" She heard Karin's highpitched voice screetched as she darted away. She also heard a few snickers, too.

Once she got to her house she unlocked the door and called "I'm home," to the empty house. Since her parents had recently died on a ANBU mission, Sakura had been all alone. She never told any of her friends because she didn't want their sympthy.

Sakura let out all of her feelings by crying, screaming, and even throwing things such as vases and plates. They say anger isn't somthing meant to be bottled up.

WARNING:Cutting scene, if you don't like please don't read.

As Sakura delicatly ran the Kunai along her wrist, she was wonder what she did to Karin that made her hate Sakura? I mean Sasuke still didn't like anyone, and Sakura knew all Karin was after was him.

Flashbacks flooded her mind and it only made her aggresivly slice her arm.

Flashbacks

"Don't worry Sakura-chan," Naruto assured using the 'Good Guy' pose. "I'll bring Sasuke back." But maybe bringing him back was a mistake?

"Haru-Sakura" That the first time Neji ever said her first name.

"Sakura-san, my love for you burns in a youthful fire of passion!" Lee declared bravely.

"Hey, Saku, Akumaru really seems to like you." Kiba flashed a toothy smile.

"Your so troublesome, woman." Shikamaru groaned with a hidden smile.

"Haruno-san, why do you not fear me?" Shino asked disbelived.

"Hey, Sakura thanks for telling me Ino liked BBQ!" It was because of Sakura that Ino and Choji had gotten together.

"Your weak, Sakura."

Your Weak

Your Weak

Weak..

The word kept ring and boogling Sakura's mind.

Finally the recent memmory of the Hokage office confrontation replayed in her mind over and over and over again.

End flashbacks

The blood trickled down her wrist. She knew she couldn't be at ease but, cutting away the pain was making lifting a bagage off her chest, but she knew her heart would be at peace.

WARNING:Cutting stops here

Sakura sighed as she began to pack her bags, she couldn't help but wonder what will happen? We will she go? Will anyone miss her? Will everyone uncover Karin's scheme? There were just so many questions and so little answers at the moment. She slung the travel sized back-pack over her shoulder. "First stop Suna." That being thought, Sakura planned in advaced her journey towards Suna. Of course she wouldn't stay, but it'd be nice to vist the Sand Siblings once again.

Sakura neared the gate, she felt a tug at her chest, but chose to ignore it. When she approched the gate. "From here on out I'll be a Missing-nin.."

Her eyes saddened as fresh tears glossed her dull and lifeless emerald orbs. "It's ashame it has to end this way.." Having said that, Sakura leaped into the trees, bouncing from one to another only wanting to get away from Konoha as fast as possible.

"Good-bye Konoha."
