Sorry. If I owned Naruto, Sakura would be less Sasuke obsessed. Since she isn't I don't own Naruto.

On one of the broken down cobbled streets of a war ridden city, one fridged winter day sat a little girl. This wasn't any little girl however, this child was special. What made her extrodinary wasn't her age which was between 5 and 6, and it wasn't the fact she was covered from head to toe in a combination of dirt, slim, and blood. Nor ws it because underneath the disgusting mix she had naturally pink hair. Nope, it wasn't any of these. It was the fact that she was a demon. That's right. A fox demon to be exact. Complete with ears and tail (which coincedentally were pink too). At the moment none of this matters because our adorable little kit was waiting for someone and this caused her to be miserable. She was cold, wet, and hungry. This is where we come in to this particular story.

"Where is he!" The little girl, named Sakura, murmered to herself quietly. "I swear if he got distracted by ramen again…I'll…" The girl's threats on her twin's life fell on deaf ears seeing as though she was all alone on this wrecked street. But it made her feel better even if the only 'person' she had to talk to was her inner persona, Saku. Fact was she was her own best friend. This didn't bother her because her brother had an inner too, so that must mean that it was completely normal to not only talk to herself and have someone answer her but also be able to communicate with herself through her thoughts with said brother. Then her muttering stopped as her injuries began to take its toll on the young demon. Yep, all that blood was her own. Sadly.

"This isn't good." Sakura thought, her thoughts jumbled in all her panick.

'Hold in there sweety. I'll just call the Kyuubi and have him tell Naruto that your loosing too much blood and he needs to hurry." (Yes, Their inners seem to be able to communticate as well) Saku said concerned for her outer's well being. 'They will get here as soon as they can. Just don't fall asleep okay? 'Kura? 'Kura!'

Sakura despite her best efforts to stay awake, found her eyes starting to shut and her mind going black as if a curtain was being pulled shut over her consciousness. She tried to tell Saku that she was fine, to stop worrying, jokingly complain about ramen being more important than her life, Anything! Unfortunately the kit found that she couldn't move her mouth. 'Oh, well…I'm sure just closing my eyes for a minute wouldn't hurt anything, right?' Sakura thought to herself sleepily. Somewhere in the back of her mind alarm bells rang trying to tell her that it was a bad idea, but she just ignored it, too tired to care.

Her last thought before the curtain closed finally closed firmly shut, was simple:

'Hurry, Naruto!'
