I'm back! D: Mostly the reviews went like this:

1. Itachi 2

2. Naruto 1

So, what I'll do is use Naruto for V2. The next version will have more things that I wish to add.

Since Sakura is going to be Naruto's friend, another plot will take over.

I'll start working on it when the fic is half way done. Here's chapter one! ^^

Blizzard Wolf Petals

Chapter 1. Thawing her out

Itachi trekked across the forest grounds wearing his anbu gear.

He wanted to get home for his mother's usual cooking during this time of year. But due to training and trying to make his father proud, it wasn't that easy. The Uchiha male established a break near the tree and took out a case of solider pills for more energy. He plopped one in his mouth, and chewed slowly only to stop when he spotted something glistening near the gates.

"That's odd. Since when has that been here?" asked a new voice.

The male spun around, kunai in hand. Only to drop it after realizing the source.

"Woah, I'm not a nuke." surrender the other male.

He was only Shisui, his partner for the time being. Itachi lowered his defense and looked away, staring ahead.

"Curious about that sparkle?" questioned the older boy.

Itachi nodded slowly, then began walking towards it. Shisui followed suit and paused near an odd sight. Placed before them was a medium sized ice cocoon right in front of the gates. It didn't seem to melt since it was quite hot outside on this summer afternoon.

"That's strange, the ice isn't even melting." Shisui mentioned in confusion.

His cousin studied it. "I think there's something inside."

Shisui raised an eye brow at his assumption. "You think?"

Itachi nodded once more. "Since it's not melting, a katon would break it."

"That wouldn't work on an animal. Unless it's one of those Koori-okami creatures.."

He stopped talking, only to stare at his younger sibling. Itachi lazily shrugged at his prediction then performed a few hand signs, completely burning the object with his fire jutsu. The ice slowly melted, leaving a pool of water on the burned grass, soothing it's pains. The two Uchiha males didn't utter a word as a small creature laid on it's side.

It had white fur, and seemed to be breathing fully. Then out of the blue, it started to morph into something more.. human. Her eyes were closed, and crumpled breathing exited from her mouth. Pink tangled locks covered most of her cheeks and not so large forehead.

Shisui's eyes went wide as saucers at the transformation. "Wow, I wasn't lying after all."

"For once you are correct. We should probably take her to the hospital."

Shisui nodded in agreement then bent down to pick her up, then stood up on two of his legs. He followed his cousin and stood there as the weasel tapped his knuckles agianst the gates. It slowly opened, revealing a remotely forest like village with many houses and shops mushed together like smores.

"Welcome to our home, demon girl!" announced the cheerful Uchiha.

"Shut your mouth. She's sleeping."

"Yeah but for how long? I don't think you can sleep forever like that."

With that, they quickly marched towards the Konoha care facility. There wasn't that much interaction on their way to the hospital. Once the males checked her in, they left to report back to their leader on the mission scenario. Mostly nurses and doctors tended to her need with the usual check of blood pressure and heart rate. What they found wasn't good.

"Her temperature, it's so low.." read out loud an aid, disturbed by her findings.

The doctor checked her heart beat. "There's no problem with blood running into her system. I'll perform a few more tests for illnesses and such."

While the humans continued examining, she remained calm and secured... Until a needle was stuck into her arm.

She sprung up, with blood shot eyes. "What are you doing to my body?" snarled the child.

A few doctors backed up in shock.

One of them remained still, trying to compromise with her. "Were just making sure that you're okay." he told her.

She stared at them before getting poked in one of her chakra pressure points. The pinkette started to feel sleepy then flew back onto the sheets. All of the humans signed in relief and resumed giving her a check up. It lasted for at least an hour, then they left to give her some rest..

. . .

Sarutobi slightly pulled on the door knob into a dim lighted room.

His eyes took notice of a figure tucked in tightly of the white sheets claiming the bed. The hokage kept quiet as he walked down the tiles and stared down over the patient. She was quite small with petal hair and pointed ears. Those were natural genes of the ice wolf race.

"I bet your family is worried sick about you.." he murmured, only to gasp softly when she awakes.

"Mine are dead.." spoke the sleepy demon as she rubbed her eyes, "Where's yours?"

Sarutobi was shocked. Who could have caused this?

"Little pup, do you mind giving me the details of your parent's death?"

"Well, my father was patrolling the lands.. S-so it could be safe for me and my okaa-chan to walk. Then.."

She explained the entire story. The hokage nodded his head in understanding then sat on the side of the bed.

"My apologizes for their death. Do you have anywhere to stay as of now?"

The little girl shook her head.

"Alright. I'll make arrangements for you to remain here with a foster parent."

Her little heart skipped a beat. Did he say she can stay in the village? No, this can't be happening.

"By the way, do you mind if I put your name on file? Won't be right to house a girl without any previous background."

The little girl looked down in shame. She didn't want her privacy to be exposed to the entire village. They would make fun of her, or even worse.. try to kill her! Said hokage watched her facial expressions change into a timid one. Seems like she isn't up to part with her information being exploited.

So he decided to make a deal with her. "Alright, I'll make a deal with you. If you exchange your information with me, I'll stamp the confidential sticker on it."

She knew what that word meant. No fool would try to expose her!

"A-alright.." squeaked the pinkette.

"Great. In the mean time, you can live with a foster parent. I'll call you down to my office later in the week to file your records."

Said girl watched as he got up and left the room. All she could do was smile. She heard numerous rumors about this place. Theres lots of shinobis and there is numerous people with many abilities which means she could put hers to great use. If only they would be able to accept it. What's normal for her won't be normal for them..

-A few days later-

Sarutobi returned to the same room. This time, with a red head.

"Hello little one. You seemed to be recovering very nicely."

"I am. No thanks to the hospital food.."

He let out a laugh. "Good to hear your voice. Now do you mind telling this lady your name?"

Panic took hold of her. She anxiously looked around the room, confusing the ningens in front of her.

"Anything wrong?" asked the concerned red head.

"I..I don't have a name.." she told them, completely embarrassed by the predicament.

The red head and Sarutobi exchanged quick glances with one another. Apparently, wolves don't name their pups in real life.

"Well.. do you mind if we think of a name for you?" suggested the woman.

"Yes please."

Sarutobi quickly thought of something. "How about Sakura? Your hair is pink and those eyes are quite lively."

The little girl cocked her head to the side, "Sakura?" she repeated.

"Yes, like the cherry blossoms in spring." clapped the nice lady.

"Okay then! I'll go by Sakura. Thank you kind ningens for treating me with respect." grinned the pinkette.

Sarutobi smiled back. "Were going to step outside for a bit."

"See you later."

The male hokage and said red head departed out of the room. They stayed in the halls and began a long chat about the wolf in the hospital.

"I love the girl. She's quite cute." commented the older woman.

"Yes, she's a keeper. I feel quite bad for her parents death though."

"What can we do? There's nuke nins everywhere. What ever sounds valuable they will do what ever it takes to capture it."

"I know.. Akane, do you mind taking off time from missions to watch her grow?"

"Of course. I might teach her a thing or two when she finally enters the academy."

"Then it's decided. Let's go fill out the adoption papers, there in my office."

. . .

Sakura is quite tired of sitting in the hospital. She missed the sun light, and the food! This doesn't make any sense. Just staring all day at white walls could make any sick person much worse then before. The wolf demon burrowed deeper into her sheets like a gopher then sat up on her stomach.

'I miss you, mommy and daddy..' thought the sorrowful girl.

"Sakura-chaaaann, why are you hiding underneath those sheets?" sang a merry voice.

The pinkette crawled across the mattress and stayed near the opening. "Hello lady, did you call me?"

"Why yes I did. It's time to take you home."

Sakura popped out of the sheets and hugged her legs. "Waaah! I'm so glad that your taking me back to the forest!" cried out the weeping rosette.

"Forest? What forest?" blinked the woman.

She felt the pressure from her legs subside. Her new daughter took a few steps backwards.

"If your not taking me home.. then where am I going?" Sakura mentioned in a low voice.

"You're going to live in a house with me. There's going to be a nice warm bed, and scrumptious food to eat."

"Really?" asked the demon, not sure if it's true. "I'm sure those poachers would try and find me here.."

"No, they won't capture you. I'm sure of it."

Sakura stared into the eyes of her new caretaker.

She seemed nice; A full red head with rosy cheeks and aquamarine eyes.

The woman told her that she would be safe here for now, but what about the future? Said pinkette looked away, trying to stare out of the window. A sign escaped from her lips, there wasn't anywhere for her to go. Her home was in the forest, surrounded by forest life and the trees, oh so glorious trees.

But this village seemed to have a lot of them too. Yet, only on the outside.

She had to ask about it. "Are there any trees nearby?"

"Mostly in the park. Why?"

"I would like to go there for training. That's if you let me."

"Ah, the training grounds are open for many. I'll make sure to apply you for the academy in a few weeks."

Sakura was quite over joyed. She's actually going to join a village! No wait, their ninja status.

'Mom.. dad.. please be proud. I'm moving up.'

Yes indeed.

. . . / / / / / . . .

Yays! Sakura-chan has a home now. Okay.. she's going to meet her saviors in the next chapter.

I have an idea to give her a black ribbon instead of red. Mostly because Ino won't be too fond of her later on.

Please review! Thanks for reading~
