Saviour in Pink and Black
Chapter 2: Realization
By: Vampgal212, Bowmangirl123

Hunter-nins were after me for sure, but being a jounin, they couldn't track my chakra and with 3 days of travelling Finally,my feet reached the border of Sand.

Some swirled around like it was dancing with the wind, it was only this kind of peace I could ever receive now.
I may never be forgiven by anyone again, but this is my duty as a kunoichi, as Tsunade-shishou's apprentice and...
As a member of Konoha...

But that aside I need to focus on the task at hand. I must infiltrate the Kazekage's chamber in order to steal a forbidden scroll. I start my trek towards the dusty village tower.
The sand stings my eyes, some gets into my clothes although I don't care.

Still many thoughts enter my head as I make my way through the gates without being noticed. 'Will I be remembered? Forgiven? Missed?'

Reaching the tower at dawn, the early morning sun reaching out to illuminate everything it touches in a faint glow. I reached the dark chamber unnoticed, some guards may have heard something.

Although I can faintly hear two very familiar voices: Shikamaru and Temari? I see them walk in, wondering why they are searching in here, then it hits me like a slap in the face.
Tsunade must have sent them here...
For me. As a test?

Something snaps inside me and I seem to have broken in a dead, yet stealthy run. Pumping chakra into my legs and looking back to see them behind me, shock and betrayal written all over their faces.
It hurts.

Though their faces quickly turn into anger and inside, I'm crying. Crying my heart out while clutching the scroll to my chest, those two nin can't see the pain I'm being put through right now.
I don't want them to see it so I turn a corner-They don't notice and keep running straight ahead.

I have a mission to do. I'm helping them... I have to tell myself that. They don't understand. This is helping them, right? Right?

I silently make my way through the village of sand –chakra hidden- allowing myself to calm the mind. I make it to the border of the country by sunset, I don't know if Im still hiding my chakra or if I just have none left, nothing is worth this. Yet I'm still crying inside and no one can see it.

It reminds me of the night Sasuke left...

Memories of team seven flood back into my mind, more and more keep gushing in, some of the other teams are thought about in the whirlpool that's wrecking my mind.
Screams make their way into my throat, but none escape. I'm a jounin now. This isn't child's play. Ninja's don't show emotions. But still... it's too much...

I always asked myself, what would it feel like to be hated... by the people you love, the village you work for, your own friends? To be spat on in the time of need? To be talked about like trash? To be banned from seeing your own family? Like this?

[Flashback]

'SASUKE! DON'T LEAVE ME!'

'Sakura, I need to become stronger.'

'PLEASE SASUKE! WE NEED YOU HERE! WHY DO YOU NEED TO BECOME STRONGER? STAY HERE WITH ME! YOU'LL HAVE FUN EVERYDAY! YOU'LL LOVE IT, JUST PLEASE STAY HERE... WITH ME'

'Sakura. Thank you.'
...

'Ple-plea-se Naruto...

'Sakura-Chan, its ok, I promise to get Sasuke back.'

'Re-Really?'

'Yeah, BELIEVE IT!'

...

'Hey forehead?'

'Yeah, Ino-Pig?'

'No matter what, I won't lose Sasuke to you!'

'You keep telling yourself that...'

...

'Tsunade-Sama! I have only one request.'

'Yes, Sakura?'

' I would like to become your apprentice.'

'Hai, Sakura, please refer to me as Tsunade-shishou from now on.'

...

'Ugly.'

'Gay.'

'Still ugly.'

'Still gay.'

...

'Kakashi-Sensei! You're late!'

'Sorry guys, I was lost on the path of life.'

'Kakashi-Sensei... Really?'

'Shut it, Sakura.'

...

[End Flashback]

Everyone in Konoha is now just a part of the past, even me...
I must make my own path from here...

...

I wake up in cold sweat, surrounded by itchy sand that sticks to my skin, the hair that now reaches my shoulders clinging to me like its alive.

Ok, it's time to get noticed.

[At the crumbled Hokage's office...]

Shikamaru and Temari had just arrived bring dire news.

"TSUNADE-SAMA! Tsunade-Sama, Haruno Sakura has been identified stealing one of our forbidden jutsu scrolls! What is the meaning of this?" Temari asked, she was honestly baffled with her.

Images of her and the pinkette laughing at a cafe in Suna shot through her mind, they were pushed away immediately. Tsunade couldn't apprehend the news right now, it was far too soon than expected. She feighed emotions.

"What? Sakura? Stealing one of Suna's scrolls?" She looked shocked to the bone.

Shikamaru stepped forward. "Yes, Tsunade-Sama, Temari-San is telling the truth in this matter. Haruno Sakura has stolen one of the Kazekage's scrolls illegally and is now considered a traitor in the village hidden in the sands." Shikamaru stated with a bored tone, though his eyes said it all: He couldnt believe the Cherry Blossom would betray whats left of the people.

The Hokage stood up from her desk, rushed outside to the small camp of villagers with the two ninja's following her, she entered the camp site.

"I guess this is unavoidable... Haruno Sakura, kunoichi of the village hidden in the Leaves, is hereby accounted as a missing-nin." Tsunade may have mumbled the first part, but her announcement was clear to all.

Gasps were heard throughout, old and young, ninja or not. It did not matter, everyone knew of the once bubbly, playful and kind woman, but after hearing this, few they were disgusted, most disregarding her without a second thought, some pleading to Tsunade for help bring her back to Konoha.

Although no one knew what Tsunade's real ambition was.
After all, the pink flower was like her daughter.

It was for Sakura to be free from the ruins of what was once a blooming village, thriving with love and joy, until demons, shrouded in black and red attacked the town, making it what it is now.
She swore on her own life that someday, Konoha will be rebuilt, be like it used to be. And Sakura will be back... alive.

So she told the people who were begging for the medical ninja to come back, "Its okay, it'll all be alright." Comforting words make things better than they seem.

Now back to the heroine of the story...

I was resting from a full hour of running from Hunter-nins, I had stolen another forbidden jutsu, this time from the Mizukage, leader of Kirigakure.
I made a promise to myself, before I left Konoha for good, to never open even one of the scrolls stolen, but why not take a peek just this once?

And you really could not blame me for this, because this scroll was simply radiating with medical chakra.

With pure delight, I read the scroll until all of the techniques were memorised, there were alot, about seven which could help in near death situations, that I will probably having much more since I left.

I sensed a chakra behind me, it was familiar...

It was one that put me on a constant edge. Where

"Finally found you."

OMG, DON'T KILL US! WE DID NOT MEAN TO PUT A CLIFFY THERE, it just kinda... happened.

Okay, so you guys said that you wanted some... Please vote: highest amount will be in the story(:
