A/N: I HAVE A FLU!!! DX

---

Sakura found herself facing a lot of déjà vu that day. She had gotten changed and found that the only hole in her top was a small tear from being caught on a nail, which was strange because that tear had grown in her battle the previous day. When she was walking to the Hokage's office, Kakashi was reading a page from that ungodly book that he had read just yesterday, and he seemed to be on the same spot.

"Kakashi-sensei, I suppose there was a spot that you didn't understand so you had to go back, huh?" Sakura smiled. Kakashi stopped and looked at her for a moment, then back at his orange book.

"What are you talking about, Sakura-san? I've only just gotten to this bit…" Kakashi said, eyeing his student.

When they finally got to Hokage's office, Sakura wanted to speak about something important, like how come everyone was dead yesterday was alive today. Kakashi knocked on the door and everyone heard a mumbled, come in.

Sakura walked in first, of course she wasn't about to ask with kakashi and Naruto around, they might've forgotten about what happened to them. So Sakura just stood smiling at Tsunade suspiciously, a hint to say she knew what was going on. Tsunade gave her student a puzzled look before continuing with the important news.

"Shikamaru's team has spotted two Akatsuki members not so far from here, I want you three, with the help of Yamato, Sai, Kurenai's team and Gai's team," she told them. Sakura stiffened. Why was this happening again?

"Hai," Naruto and Kakashi said, bowing respectfully before she continued.

"You are to meet Ino at the gates in half an hour and she will take you to where her comrades are now fighting," she said. "You have until then to get anything you need." Then she neatly stacked some papers before looking back at the three. "Well, I advise you go now."

Naruto and Kakashi left while Sakura cleared her throat.

"Do you think that'd be smart?" she asked Tsunade. The fifth hokage looked at her student with a small smile.

"Don't worry, they wont get Naruto-kun that easy," she laughed. Sakura's face kept serious.

"I meant about yesterday. They almost died from a battle with Akatsuki members and you just send them into another battle with more of them?" she asked, frustrated. Tsunade and Shizune looked at Sakura, confused.
"Sakura-san, nobody went into a battle yesterday," Shizune said. Tsunade looked at her student, worriedly.

"Why? What happened yesterday?" Tsunade asked. Sakura told her sensei and Shizune what happened, and asked why nobody knew anything about this.

"Maybe you just had a bad dream, and you thought it was a little too bad," Tsunade sighed. Sakura nodded and turned to leave, before something hit her.

"A man named Hidan was in my dream, too. He told me to join him in the Akatsuki and nobody would get hurt, then he knocked me out and I woke up," Sakura said. When Tsunade didn't reply she kept walking through the door and exited the place.

"Thinking?" Shizune asked Tsunade, who nodded in return.

Sakura had a thought, and she went to go check it out. She remembered that after she packed her things she went to get lunch with Naruto and precisely fourteen and thirty-six seconds passed twelve. Well that's the time that he knocked. Sakura sighed, there was no way that when the second hand on her clock strike thirty-six seconds, Naruto would knock. Sakura laughed to herself, it was airy and hollow, she did believe that Naruto would knock then.

A knocking sound came from the door and Sakura check her clock like she had done yesterday. Unlike yesterday when she thought, who could be knocking? Everyone is getting ready for the battle, today she thought, that couldn't possibly be Naruto, could it? The knocking got more harder and Sakura opened the door and saw Naruto about to knock again. Instead of getting the door, his hand touched Sakura's chest.

Naruto flinched before getting his head punched in. This is just what happened yesterday…Sakura thought.

"Ouch, Sakura-chan, I didn't mean it! It was an accident, ow! Oww, ow, ow! O- Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked the wide eyed girl, who was now looking at her hands.

"You've had super strength since Tsunade taught you," he said, also looking at her hands. Sakura shook her head and smiled at Naruto.

"Okay, lets go to Ichiraku Ramen Bar now," she said dragging Naruto.
"But I never said anything yet," Naruto said, surprised. Sakura already had an excuse.

"Naruto, you're so predictable!" she shouted. Sakura soon stopped a second before a boy ran after something in front of her. Yesterday she ran into the boy at an alarming speed but today she was looking at him run passed. Actually yesterday was today, and today was today. Wasn't it? Argh! This was going to get complicated.

"I think everything is predictable for you today. You got good luck, I hope it helps with the battle," Naruto smiled.

Sakura looked at her blonde friend, she didn't want anything to happen to him, or anyone else for that matter, and she had a thought of how to stop it. Unless Hidan himself didn't even know that he transported her back in time. Then she could use this against him. She started to wonder why he had done that instead of killing her. Was it easier having her in the Akatsuki? Did he get bored of the fight and wanted to take her with him so there might be more people? The man looked more religious and didn't seem to need a time traveling jutsu on him anyway…so what if it wasn't even his jutsu? What if he was ordered to do this?

Sakura was thrown out of thought when she saw Kakashi at the Ramen Bar waiting for them.

"Alright I guess we don't have anytime for lunch?" she asked him. It was more like a statement though, and she ran, leading the way to the gates, hoping Chouji hadn't died yet. Ino was waiting at the front gate, but Sakura walked passed her. She shrugged at the others and ran to catch up to Sakura.

"Sakura, don't be in such a rush, we're still waiting for other people," Ino shouted at her.

"Come back for them, we have to move, now!" Sakura shouted back. Ino started to lead the way, with Sakura hot on her trail and Naruto not so far from behind, then Kakashi a little later. Sakura heard extra thumps and knew Gai, Lee, Tenten and Neji were following close behind. Yesterday, or today in the past, Gai's team showed up only a few seconds after Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi did, so Sakura knew that they would follow, though the others would be a little later. Sakura heard Ino let out a gasp before she softly said, Chouji. Sakura covered Ino's mouth before she had a chance to scream like yesterday. Luckily Chouji was only knocked out, Sakura could still feel him there. Ino realized this too, since she had also learnt how to be a medic. The others jumped onto the branch to catch up and when they saw Sakura covering Ino's mouth, they knew something bad had happened.

The thing that scared Sakura was the fact that Chouji wasn't dead, and yet the two members ignored him, instead of finishing him off. The next thing that scared Sakura was when Hidan made a stifled laugh. Sakura's hurt paused a beat when he turned with knowing eyes and looked into her, just like yesterday. Only yesterday he was shocked and he looked because Ino had screamed. Then everyone attacked him and Kakuzu and Kakashi shooed Naruto and Sakura away to protect themselves. But not this time, this time Sakura blinked five times quickly at Hidan, and twitched her mouth quickly. He took this and closed his eyes, getting his scythe ready. Sakura gasped as everyone ran to attack the two. Hidan dodged Ino's attack and jumped over to Kakuzu. Sakura was still in the same spot and Kakashi shooed her and Naruto away, but she shook her head.

"I know you want to help, but I need you to run with Naruto," Kakashi told her.

"I'm sorry Kakashi. When you get back, tell Tsunade-sama I was correct," she said as she saw Kakuzu nod his head at Hidan. Then they both disappeared into the forest.

Kakashi looked at his student, who at the moment was looking down with a clenched fist.

"Sakura, you don't mean-"

"Hurry up! We don't have much time before we start killing!" Hidan shouted at her. Sakura nodded at him and shoved a note into Kakashi that she had packed with her weapons. Kakashi caught the note and all three disappeared. Ino looked at the space where her friend once stood, but then turned to check if Chouji was okay and to heal some of Shikamaru's cuts. Kakashi looked at the envelope that the note was in. It wasn't for anyone in particular, all it had on it was 'To Everyone'.
