It was the year 2025 and humans had already begun colonizing on Mars. They had developed equipment that allowed humans to live and breathe on this planet. They kind of had to sense there wouldn't be and oxygen in the atmosphere for 10 more years. Along with the development of a society on Mars also brought a great deal of crime which brought the need for a police force. They were highly armed and dangerous. You could say they were ready for anything…..well almost anything.

A train slowly cart's its way into the station, one passenger aboard. Out side a team of police wait for the train to come to a complete stop. It stops and the heavy metal doors slide open. The team rushes in brandishing their guns. In a few seconds the cover the whole train searching every nock and cranny until they come upon a girl with short pink hair unconscious on one of the beds with her hands cuffed to a bar.

"Lieutenant Haruno." One of the officers barks. The girl opened her emerald eyes drowsily.

"Thank god you're alive." One of the other officers sighed in relief.

"Where's the rest of your team." The first officer ordered.

The pink haired girl looked up. A sad dull look shadowed her eyes. "They're dead." She answered bitterly.

Police lieutenant, Haruno Sakura, age 25. Ranking Officer under Captain Orochimaru. Last mission: To retrieve criminal, Uchiha Sasuke from Shining Canyon. Mission status: failed

Sakura lay in her bed wait and resting. It had only been a few hours sense she had been found in the train. She knew that in any minute they would come to get her so that she could face her trial. Sakura wasn't worried though she had done nothing that she thought was wrong but then again here wrong is completely different from the councils wrong.

Sakura chuckled. She knew they would come and she was ready. "Come in."

Two officers walked in wearing their black leather uniforms. Both of them were armed with a pistol. She knew both of them and they knew her but right now at they were acting as though she were a criminal.

Sakura sat up slowly and put on her similar uniform and hopped out of bed. The two flinched as he boots hit the floor. "Come now you two you're acting as though I might suddenly kill you." she teased.

"This way Lieutenant Haruno." the male officer ordered as he led her out of the room. Sakura fallowed him and the second escort shut the door behind them and fallowed behind Sakura.

Sakura entered the court room. There were 10 people in the room, 9 of which Sakura had now interest in. The one that concerned her the most was Lady Tsunade. She was that judge and man was she scary at times. But at this moment in time her judge had a peaceful look on her face. Sakura was hoping that she had gotten her morning coffee or had a restful night so that she would hopefully not snap and give her a death penalty.

"Sakura please sit down so we may begin." Tsunade said politely pointing to the black chair that sat in the middle of the room.

"Don't I get a lawyer?" Sakura frowned. Almost immediately she regretted the words that came out of her mouth but luckily there was no infuriated roar of condiment but instead something else happened which was completely unexpected.

"No Lieutenant this trial will not be like the ones on T.V. where you're sentenced to death." Tsunade answered. "You will not require a lawyer." The room was filled with a sigh of relief.

"Okay." Sakura replied. She sat down in the chair as she was told and the trial began.

"Now then Lieutenant we will begin." Tsunade started. "Tell us what your mission was and what happened."

"Our mission was to retrieve the criminal Uchiha Sasuke from Shining Canyon and bring him back here to stand trial for the murder in the Konoha. I was lieutenant under Captain Orochimaru. In our squad was Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi and the rookies Yamanaka Ino and Inuzuka Kiba." Sakura said calmly. " It started out like any other mission. We were on the train heading to Shining canyon."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura lay on the top bunk of one of the 10 beds in the train. It was a long ride and all the noise was killing her. Naruto was arguing with the rookie Kiba about something and the blonde Ino was flirting with Kakashi who was too busy reading his perverted book to care. Some how the captain had managed to fall asleep and was gently snoring.

Sakura groaned but nobody seemed to notice. Sakura decide sense no one was going to pay attention she might as well take her 'medicine.' Sakura took hold of her locket that was strung loosely around her neck and pressed a small button. A small white pill fell out of the locket and landed in her hand. It was no bigger then and eraser on a pencil. Quickly she slipped it under her tongue and waited for the pill to do its work.

In a few moments the metal locket started to twist and turn and when it returned to its normal form she was sent to a land filled with waves. The water crashed against the sandy beaches and then slide back out into the ocean to form another attack against the beach.

Sakura wished that she could have been there instead of the damn train. It was too noisy and stuffy. She wanted to be in a calm peaceful place with wide open space and fresh clean air.

"Sakura." Someone called out to her. Sakura didn't want to open her eyes she didn't want to go back to the train. "Sakura." The voice called again. She did her best to stay away from the train but in the end she was sucked back into reality.

She opened her eyes slowly. On next to her was the pale face of her captain staring at her. He was strange; she had never seen a man this pale before in her life and it had taken her forever to get over his strange habits.

"Sakura." He said again.

"What do you want Captain." Sakura said bitterly. If he was going to tell her something stupid like he usually did she didn't want to here it.

"Are you high?" He asked. Normally any officer would have freaked out if they were every caught but right now Sakura didn't care. He knew her habits to escaped stress. He was actually the one who suggested it.

Sakura stared dully at him and he sighed. "You had better have your head when we get there."

"Don't worry." Sakura smirked. "I always have my head." Orochimaru nodded and turned his attention to the rest of his squad.

A few hours we arrived at Shining Canyon. We sure were surprised when we stepped off that trian

Note I do not own Naruto or 'The Ghosts Of Mars'
