flashback

Recap: "Doesn't matter if she resemble's Sakuya or not, she can't stop me from taking what's rightfully mine." Sasuke said as he emphasized the 'mine' part. 'Kuso! He's not the hero!?!' Inner Sakura screamed.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Eh?!?" Sakura was still a little confused. It seems Sasuke was already strong enough, why does he want the jewel?

"Give the jewel to me, unless you want to die." Sasuke said as he cracked his knuckles. Up until then, Sakura didn't notice Sasuke has claws.

'RUN AWAY!!!' Inner Sakura screamed as she ran away, leaving outer Sakura to fend for herself.

"Hey uh Sasuke was it? Can't we negotiate?" Sakura said as she slowly inched away from the boy. Sasuke didn't even bother to reply as he ran at lightning speed towards Sakura. Sakura ran for it.

Tsunade knew someday she'll have to use it. She quickly brought out a necklace, it had violet beads, and what looked like pearl white fangs. She mumbled what seemed to be a spell and the necklace hovered in front of her face glowing purple.

"Just give up the jewel you weak pathetic girl!" Sasuke said as he took a swipe at Sakura's head. At that moment, Sakura tripped in time, saving herself from being hit in the head. But something else also snapped inside of Sakura.

NO one, absolutely NO ONE calls her weak. Sakura got up and turned to face Sasuke. Sasuke also started to feel an evil aura emitting from Sakura.

'SHANNARO!! NO ONE CALLS US WEAK!' Inner Sakura yelled while pumping her fists in front of her.

'You're coming out.' Sakura thought evilly before Inner Sakura took over.

"No one calls me weak wolf boy!" Sakura looked straight into Sasuke's eyes and he noticed that they're a deeper shade of green.

flashback

It was raining...there in a deep part of Uchiha forest, a young miko leaning on the trunk of a tree, her breathing was heavy, as if she just ran a marathon. Her pink tresses were getting damp from the rain.

"Give up yet Uchiha?" she spoke, her voice firm and strong.

"Hn." was the reply she got. Opposite of the miko, was a boy pinned to a tree by his clothes with 4 arrows. She started walking away from the boy when he suddenly spoke.

"Matte, what's your name." he asked. The miko paused at this question, pondering whether or not, she should answer his question.

"Sakuya." she said quietly, but he still caught it. She turned around and stared right into his eyes.

"Next time we meet, I will not hesitate to kill you." was all she said. Sasuke on the other hand was mesmorized by her deep green eyes.

"Aa." was all he said before she disappeared.

End Flashback

While Sasuke took a trip to memory lane, Sakura had ran up to him and gave him...a BITCH SLAP!

Oh burn...Sasuke blinked at the fuming female, who was glaring at him. At that moment, Tsunade had also finish her spell chanting and the necklace disappeared only to appear around Sasuke's neck.

"Nani? What the hell's-"

"Sakura! Say-"

"You BAKA!!!!" Sakura screamed, cutting everyone off. What she didn't know was that baka was now the new spell word. So since that became the new spell word, Sasuke came crashing to the ground, and since Sakura shouted so loud...he crashed even harder to the ground!

"So Sakura, I see you have picked the magic word." Tsunade said, trying to keep a straight face.

"Huh!? What magic word?" Sakura asked confused at all the things happening.

"I was about to tell you to pick a magic word." Tsunade said.

"Ooh...so now baka-" BOOM. Everyone sweatdropped.

'Alright! The almight Sasuke is mighty no more!' Sakura thought proudly.

x-o-x-o-x-o-x

"There, it's all healed." Tsunade said. Since the jewel kinda bursted from Sakura, she needs a little medical care.

"Thanks Tsunade! I didn't know you had healing powers!" Sakura said as she thanked Tsunade. Tsunade just smiled.

"Do you think you could teach me to do that?" Sakura asked eagerly. Tsunade thought about it. She wasn't sure if this girl was gifted for healing, but since she's willing to learn, then it should be ok right?

"Ok, hold out your hands for me please." Tsunade said. Sakura did as she was told. Tsunade put her own hands ontop. She was going to transfer some of her powers into Sakura and see if she can awaken Sakura's inner power. But as soon as she did, the power was immediately rejected. Tsunade jumped back a bit.

'What happened?' Tsunade thought. "What's wrong Tsunade?" Sakura asked.

"Sakura...you have a strange, but vast amount of spiritual energy inside of you." Tsunade told her. Suddenly, it hit her. So Sakura was the reincarnation of Sakuya.

"I'm sorry, but I can't teach you healing techniques." Tsunade explained.

"Nani!? How come!" Sakura asked while pouting a bit.

"Apparently, you're my onee-sama's reincarnation. So you must also have miko powers." Tsunade explained. Sakura made an 'o' with her mouth. Tsunade suddenly became more serious and said, "Sakura, since you're onee-sama's reincarnation, you must protect the jewel with your life. You can't let it fall into the wrong hands." Tsunade emphasized the word wrong just as a pretty grumpy Sasuke entered the room. He glared at Sakura with great intensity it would shatter any mirror.

20 minutes later...

Sasuke and Sakura was now having a super duper banana spliter glaring contest. Tsunade just sweatdropped at the way the two are acting. She coughed to get their attention.

"So...Uchiha, what brings you here?" Sakura asked coldly, still glaring.

"That should be obvious." he stated, glaring right back.

"You know I'm not giving it to you. So just give up." Sakura said. "Why do you need the jewel? You're already powerful enough." she added afterwards.

"Ah, about that Sakura. Sasuke is only a half-demon." Tsunade spoke. Sasuke snarled, "Don't talk like you knew me you old hag."

An anime vein popped up on the back of Tsunade's head. She did NOT like it when people called her old. Sakura learned that even though Tsunade is actually 50, her healing powers had kept her looking like she was in her mid-twenties.

"So Sasuke, I suppose you don't remember me." Tsunade said as he looked Sasuke in the face. Sasuke had a scowl on his face, trying to remember if they've ever met.

"Well...that was 50 years ago, I've grown old. But to let you know, I'm Sakuya's younger sister Tsunade." Tsunade said.

"Hn." was Sasuke's reply. 'She was that annoying little girl?'

After talking with Tsunade, Sakura went for a walk through the village.

'Let's see here...in most cases. Where you came from that one door, you using that door, so if I CAME from the well, I should be able to get BACK using the well right?' Sakura thought. She walked along a trail that led to Uchiha forest, but as she was nearing it, something hit the back of her head, making her faint.

Sometime Later...

'Ugh...my head hurts like hell!' Sakura groaned as she tried to rub her head, only to find that she was tied to a chair.

'Wha?' she thought as her vision was still a bit blurry. She was in a dimly lit room. Suddenly, light poured into the room, so Sakura looked up to see who had entered. A woman, in her late 40's, her brown hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore a very pretty kimono was making her way towards her.

"Oh good, you're awake. We thought we might have given you a concussion." said the woman.

"Um excuse me, may I ask why I'm tied to a chair?" Sakura asked, trying not to lash out at the woman.

"To make it blunt, you're in a brothel." since Sakura was still recovering, it took a while for her to register what she said.

"I'M IN A WHAT?!!?" Sakura screamed at the woman, but she seemed to be unaffected by the outburst, not even a flinch.

"Don't worry child, you'll come to like this place, all the others did." the women spoke casually.

"Oh no! There's no way in HELL I'm gonna be a fucking whore!" Sakura screamed as she tried to free herself. Again, the woman just ignored her comment,

"My name is Kanabi, but you can call me Kaa-san if you like." the woman said before untying Sakura.

'WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!' Inner Sakura screamed. Once Sakura was untied, she pushed the woman away and bolted. Bad move. Once she ran out, she was in a room full of...horny, smelly, drunk, old, mid and young, perverted men.

'Great, JUST what I needed. Where's that stupid wolf when you need him!?' she thought as she tried to find an exit.

"Ooh!! So Kanabi did get a pretty one." one said as he took a big gulp of sake. Kanabi took Sakura's arm in a firm grip and pulled her to sit, on what looked to be a throne.

"Now...everyone, I'm pleased to present you my newest member Hana.

"What! My name's-"

"Alright everyone, the bid begins!" she said, cutting Sakura off. Sakura was now ROYALLY pissed. First of all, she was brought into a brothel, getting a new name in the process, and second, she was being betted on! Doesn't she have a say in this?! She tried speaking, but each time she tries, men look at her like she was all of the sudden gonna go scream, "I will gladly go with you!"

Inner Sakura snorted, 'When hell freezes over I'll say that!'

- With Sasuke -

Sakura has been gone...for a while now. Even though Sasuke hated the girl, he was still slightly worried.

'What are you doing here? Go find her!' Inner Sasuke said.

'Pft, I'm not her caretaker, so why should I look for her?' Sasuke asked...himself.

'Unless you want some other worthless demons get the Jewel first, then no you don't have to look for her.' That got his attention. No way was the Uchiha Sasuke losing the Heaven's Jewel to some lowlife demon. So..then...dun dee dee dun dee dee dun dun dun! He was off to find Sakura. All he had to do was sniff here and there, find her scent, and there she will be.

- Back to the just terrible Whore House -

Sakura was crying inside. She had just made the worst mistake ever.

flashback

"I bid $2000!"

"$2100!!"

"$2500!" was pretty much what Sakura heard. First of all, she was still fuming about the fact some one hasn't came for her yet. Next, she was going to be sold to some guy she doesn't even know!

"Hey Kanabi, where'd this whore come from?" asked one...fairly drunk man. Sakura snapped. Whore? WHORE!?!? She couldn't take it.

"YOU THERE! YOU STUPID UGLY MORONIC IDIOTIC FAT DRUNK BUTT FACED COW!! I'M NOT A WHORE YA HEAR ME! YA I'M TALKING TO YOU! I'M AS PURE AS SNOW THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!" she screamed at the drunk man that looked pretty terrified. Kanabi just looked a little bewildered at what just happened. Of all the girls she's brought in, none were as feisty as her.

"Well...now that she has personally announced that she's still pure, her price had gone up by $3000!" Kanabi announced. The men only looked more eager to buy her after what they heard.

End flashback

'Damn perverts.' Sakura thought, as her right brow twitched in annoyance.

'I thought every damsel in distress always had a knight in shining armour to rescue them!' Sakura thought as she sighed.

Sasuke had just arrived...at the brothel. His right eye twitched... he was officially irritated. He didn't know what to do. Obviously he couldn't get in like a normal person, he would get attacked if he went in. So...

"$6000!!" was the last amount heard before the double doors at the back of the room barged open. You could see a cart full of many delicious dishes, and the person behind it was in a chef's outfit.

"I have your food prepared gents." the chef said. But somehow, that voice seemed familiar to Sakura. She tried to look at his face, but his head was bowed down.

"But we didn'-" Kanabi started but the chef wasn't there anymore. CRAAAASSSSHHH!! And a scream were heard. Every head in the room turned to look at the now bashed down wall, and Sakura missing.

- Back at Tsunade's Place -

Sakura is now, currently safe and sound asleep like a baby in a futon thar's as fluffy as the clouds. SHE WISH! Ok, the safe and sound was partly right, cause she is away from all the perverted men, but now she's going through a couple lectures with Tsunade...it wasn't as pleasant as you would think.

"Now Sakura, do you understand me? So from now on, wherever you go, Sasuke must follow. A few places are excused though." Tsunade said in a serious tone.

"Hai!" Sakura said, afraid if she didn't agree she'd get another lecture.

(sigh) 'Why me!?!?' Sakura thought as she slowly cleaned and relaxed herself in the hot spring. She loved hot springs.

"Ah...this feels so relaxing." Sakura said. On the roof of the hot spring house, there perched Uchiha Sasuke. Observing Sakura...

'If you don't blink soon your eyes are gonna dry out.' his inner self said. Sasuke realized this, and his eyes were starting to water and sting.

'Come on, she looks a tad lonely. How about we join her?' Inner Sasuke suggested.

'Wha? Why would I do that?' Sasuke asked himself.

'Because she's pretty.' Inner Sasuke said.

'As if! Her forehead is huge!' Sasuke pointed out.

'Yes, but it's what makes her cute.'

'I guess-Hey!'

'Hah! I knew it, you're in denial!' Inner Sasuke cheered.

'Denial? I don't even LIKE her, how could I be in denial?' Sasuke asked ticked.

'See? You are! Trust me, I'm you. So I would know.'

'Fine, I'll admit I'm attracted to her somewhat, but it's only because she reminds me of Sakuya. Nothing more.' Sasuke defended himself.

'You are in denial! DENIAL!!!!' Inner Sasuke sang.

'Do you even know what denial is?' Sasuke asked himself irritatedly. Inner Sasuke thought about it.

'Nope!' Inner Sasuke said somewhat proudly. Sasuke slapped his forehead.

Sakura is finally sleeping peacefully in the room she was given, and Sasuke slept outside on a tree just so he could kick some jewel thief's butt if they tried to take it from Sakura. But what he didn't detect was...low and behold a demon rat lurking inside Sakura's room. It being a rat, could only want the shiny attractive orb strung onto a necklace on Sakura's neck.

'WEEEEE!!!! SHINY PRETTY ORBY THINGY!!!' the rat's mind went before going towards the necklace. He reached the necklace and started chewing the string of the necklace.

SAKURA'S DREAM

"Alright class, I have the results for your final exams." Iruka said. Sakura fidgeted as he held some papers in front of him.

"Haruno Sakura!" Iruka announced.

"Hai!" Sakura said as she stood from her seat.

"I am fairly disappointed in you! You should be ashamed of yourself! To think you're the top in my class! You have failed every single one of your exams!"

FAILED!

FAILED!!

FAILED!!!

END SAKURA'S DREAM

The rat has successfully got a hold of the jewel and tried to swallow it whole.

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs. It seemed as though the scream had awoken the whole village. The scream also alerted Sasuke.

'What?! I didn't sense anything?!' Sasuke thought as he quickly ran towards Sakura's room. He slammed the door opened

"What-"

"EEEKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S A RAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed quickly running behind Sasuke, using him like a shield.

'A rat?!? Wait...what's in it's-' Sasuke's eyes narrowed and widened when he realized the rat had the Heaven's Jewel in it's mouth.

"You idiot! The rat has the jewel in it's mouth!" Sasuke yelled at Sakura before trying to capture the rat. Too late. He swallowed it, and choked to death.

(twitch) (twitch)

"WHAT'S ALL THIS RACKET?!?!" yelled a very moody Tsunade. If it's one thing you should avoid doing around Tsunade is awaking her from her beauty slumber.

"There's a rat in my room!!!" Sakura cried, going over to Tsunade. Sasuke grumbled.

"What?!" Tsunade said alarmed. If it's one thing she couldn't stand...rats. She hates them. So with one arrow she magically got outta nowhere she threw it at the already DEAD rat. Ooohhh...not good.

PING!!!

A glass shattering sound echoed around the room as a bright light filled the room.

'What is this light?!' Sakura thought as she felt many things fly past her. When that was over, the room looked as if nothing ever happened, but...

'What on earth was that?!' Sasuke thought observing the room closely.

'Oh no, pleeease don't tell what I think I just did.' Tsunade thought looking worried.

"Eh...what's...that?" Sakura thought as she walked in front of Sasuke.

"What do you want?" Sasuke asked annoyed at Sakura, wondering what she was staring at. She reached up, on her tippy toes, and in the Sasuke's hair, she picked out what seemed like...a glass shard?

"Uh...Sasuke, correct me if I'm wrong, but does this shard kinda look like a piece of the Heaven's jewel?" Sakura asked, holding it up for Sasuke to see. Sasuke's mind seemed to go haywire.

"WHAT!??!?!" Sasuke screamed.

Tsunade sweatdropped. 'Ehehe...oh crap.'

"You old hag! Look what you did!!!!!!!" Sasuke screamed, his face red from anger. An anime vein popped on Tsunade's forehead.

"Urusai Uchiha!" Tsunade said angrily.

"Hmph." he said turning away from Tsunade.

"Eh?! Now what are we going to do?" Sakura asked, not sure where this situation is leading to.

(sigh) "Well there's only one thing to do..."

To be continued...!
