Sakura

Sakura was walking down the streets of Konoha. Everybody looked like they were having fun. But, she herself was bored. Everybody was out on a mission except for her. She hated not going on a mission but she had made a mistake on her last mission and wasn't allowed on any missions for a while.

Her friend from childhood Ino Yamanaka had betrayed the village and tried to kill her. Nobody knew why she had. Nobody but sakura. Ino had confronted her before escaping Konoha.

--Flashback--

Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke were chasing after Ino Yamanaka. She had stolen had a secret, forbidden scroll. They had to stop her before she did anything she'd regret. Sakura didn't want Ino to get in trouble, sh loved Ino. She was her bestfriend.

"Let's split up. Sakura you go right, Naruto go left and Ill keep going this way!" Sasuke ordered.

"Okay" Naruto and Sakura replied in synch.

Sakura turned not slowing down her pace. She had to get to Ino first. She knew anybody else wouldn't give ehr a chance to explain herself. She knew Ino had a reason and she was going to find out what.

Just then she heard a crunch and saw Ino ahead. Ino looked back, jumped of the tree she was on and landed on the ground, waiting for Saskura.

"Ino! Thank god I found you!"

"Hello Sakura," Ino said with a sickly-sweet voice.

"Ino, give me the scroll and lets go back...okay?"

"No Sakura, it's too late. I hate the village...I hate you!" Ino screamed and lunged at her with a kunai while throwing some at the same time.

She swung at Saskura, but Sakura quickly dodged the attack. What Ino had said hurt Sakura, but she couldn't be careless. a shinobi wasn't suppose to show feelings in a battle.

"Ino, why are you doing this?"

"You know I loved him!" Ino ran at her again, this time hitting cutting Sakuras arm, for Sakura hadn't dodgeed fast enough.

"who? Sasuke?" Ino attacked again, but missed.

"I hate you! You took him from me!" Ino screamed running as fast as she could, hitting Sakura in the stomach with the kunai. But, she heard a poof, and a smoke appeared. All the was there was a log. Sakura was behind ino. She grabbed her and tossed her into a tree. Ino began to stand, but sakura held a kunai to her throat.

"Ino...what are you talking about?"

"I saw you and him outside. You were kissing him!" She spit in Sakuras face.

She punched her in the stomach quickly. Enough so sakura moved far enough away for Ino to escape. Ino knew she couldn't win and she knew more shinobi were coming, so she ran.

Sakura just stood there and stared at her back. Naruto and Sasuke came minutes later, but Ino was no where to be seen.

--End of Flashback--

Sakura kept walking. Ino had been wrong. She hadn't kissed Sasuke. he had kissed her forcingly. She didn't want to kiss him. She knew how Ino felt, and there were plent of other guys around for her. She had wanted to tell Ino, but she knew she wouldn't believe her. Sakura had ONCE loved sasuke, but after finding out Ino loved him, she felt guilty and couldn't love him. She would never love him.

Ever since Ino left she hasn't been allowed on any important missions. She knew why but she hated why. She knew she was suppose to get the scroll, and if she couldn't get it and Ino attacked, she was to kill her. But she hadn't. She knew she should have, but Ino was her best friend.

She began to get hungry and stopped in front Icharuka Ramen stand.

"I don't have much money...I guess this will have to do."

She sat down and ordered a bowl of Ramen. When she got it she began to eat slowly. After about 40 minutes she got up and paid. She began to head home when she heard a voice.

"Sakura!" She turned her head. Somebody jumped onto her and hugged her. "We're back!"

"Hey Naruto..." Sakura said in a tired voice although she was glad they were back. Then she saw Sasuke coming. Ever since he kissed her and Ino ran away, she couldn't stand to be near him. She felt guilty, especially when they were alone.

"Saku..." Sasuke began to say.

"Naruto let's go train together okay?"

"Sure!" They left, leaving Sasuke behind.
