Hey, this my attempt at a yuri story. I know i'm not the best writer, but I decided to give it a shot since there aren't many stories with this particular pairing. Hope ya'll like it!

Pairing: ShizunexSakura

Rating: PG-13

WARNING!!!: This is a yuri fic, which will involve to females in a romantic relationship. Do not read if this doesn't interest you.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto. It all belongs (sadly) to Masashi Kishomoto. I'm just putting his characters through the torture that is my imagination. Besides, if I did, well...

It was a slightly overcast day in the village of Konohagakure. Even though it had been five years since Pain had attacked, the village was still trying to repair the immense damage that had been done. Both physical and emotional scars had been imbedded into the minds and bodies of those who had survived the attack. The villager's sense of safety and security had been shattered when the once impenetrable village had fallen at the hands of one man.

Naruto had finally brought Sasuke back a few years ago, but for a different reason. Sasuke's mind had been consumed by hatred. His hatred for Konoha and his want for revenge against his former home drove him to a point of near insanity. Anger and hatred were all that fuelled him. No other emotions existed in his mind. He no longer had any control of his mind. He was captured by Naruto and had been brought before the elders. He was declared insane and sentenced to spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement in the deepest part of the maximum security prison, without the possibility of release in any way. Now all he does is yell and shout about the Uchiha clan regaining power and taking over the village.

The one who was affected the most that day was Sakura. The thought that she had almost lost the one that she secretly loved haunts her to this day*FLASHBACK*. She ran as fast as she could to the spot that Ino said her body was. "No, this can't be true! There has to have some sort of mistake." she said to herself. Her heart skipped a beat as she approached an ANBU captain leaning over a body. It wasn't just any body, it was... HER body.

"According to witnesses, her soul was removed by Pain." the captain said.

"No..." she said as her eyes filled with tears.

"I'm sorry," the ANBU captain started, "but as of this point, there aren't any signs of life in her."

"Get any available medic-nin here as soon as possible."

"But-"

"Shizune is Tsunade-sama's apprentice and a very close friend of hers, as am I. What would she think if she were to find out that you wouldn't listen to me and go find help for her fallen apprentice?"

The captain's eyes widened in terror as he said "ok." he paused for a second.

"Go. NOW!!!"

"Y- yes ma'm!" he said as he jumped out of sight.

She then turned to the woman she loved and crouched down next to her. She proceeded to check for a pulse and any other signs of life. "No. Shizune, you can't die, not yet...' She whispered to herself. She was snapped out of her thoughts as a medic nin had spoken to her. They too confirmed that she was gone.

"Take her body, and move it to somewhere where it'll be safe." Sakura ordered to the medic nin.

"But, what's the point if she's-"

"GO BEFORE I KILL YOU!"

"Yes ma'm."

Sakura then proceeded to follow them as they took her to the bunker behind the Hokage's faces. They laid her body down on a small stone table. She stared at the body in utter disbelief.

"Excuse me ma'm," said the medic," but I need to return to the village to care for anyone else that might've been injured."

"Ok. Be careful." Sakura said.

"Thank you ma'm, I will." he said as he left.

"You're not dead Shizune. They might think so, but I KNOW that you're still alive. Somehow, someway, you'll wake up and prove their asses wrong. I don't care what I have to do to do it, but I'll be DAMNED if I'm gonna let you die on my watch!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2 Hours Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura was leaning against the stone wall, deep in thought when the sound of shifting clothes caught her attention. She turned her head towards where the sound was coming from, and nearly lost her balance when she discovered where the noise was coming from.

"Shizune?"

"H-Huh? W-Who's there?

"It's me, Sakura."

She immediately rushed to the woman's side. She saw that Shizune's eyes weren't fully open yet.

"Sakura, is that really you?"

"Yes, it is. Are you ok?"

"Yes, just a little lightheaded."

Sakura put her hand onto Shizune's forehead and channeled some chakra into it.

"There, did that help at all?"

"Yes, thank you, Sakura."

"No problem, I'm just glad you're ok."

"How long have I been out?"

"Only for a couple of hours."

"Nobody tried to help you. They all thought that you were dead. They had no faith in you whatsoever."

"What?"

"They said that there was nothing more that they could do. They abandoned you."

"Is Tsunade-sama ok?"

"I don't know. Last I heard, she was fighting the leader of Akatsuki., but that was a while ago.?"

Suddenly, everything started to shake.

"What the hell is going on?" Sakura shouted.

"I don't know." Shizune replied.

They both looked outside and were frozen in shock by what they saw. There, right in front of their eyes, was what was left of the village. There was nothing but dirt and debris as far as the eye could see.

"Is that... the village? Shizune asked.

"Yea, what's left of it anyways?" Sakura replied.

"Who could've done this?"

"I think that it was the leader of Akatsuki, Pain."

"He's that powerful?"

"I guess so."

"We should go and check to make sure that people are ok." Shizune said as she went to stand up.

"No," Sakura said as she sat her back down, "You're injured. Let's stay here and wait until we're sure that it's safe"

"Ok." She said as she sat back down.

*END FLASHBACK*

OK. That's the first chapter. I know it's not that great. writing isn't my best subject, but I've been waiting too long for a story with this pairing, so I wanted to try it. Please R&R and tell me whether I should continue this story or not.
