Hey guys- me agian. Here's an insane!Sakura-centric oneshot, because who doesn't love driving our favorite pink-haired kunoichi crazy?

Her feet moved across the ground swiftly, her long cloak flying out behind. She couldn't pretend she wasn't excited. This was it. He could finally be avenged. He could finally rest in peace.

"Avenger…" She almost chuckled as she spoke. "A heavy burden you've given me Sasuke."

Finally hearing laughter vaguely in the distance she falters. This was going to be it. But as soon as it came the thought gave her strength, and she ran even faster towards the loud voices. She felt excited- this was what she'd been training for. This was why she hadn't killed herself the night she'd found him, bleeding from his wrists in his bedroom. This was why she'd become so strong. She would avenge him!

Something orange flashed before her eyes as she came closer to her old home, and she tugged the hood off her head. Pink flipped down before her eyes as her bangs fell down, and she shook her head to free her hair completely. They would know who it was that killed them. She'd make sure of that.

"Who are you?" A loud, sickeningly familiar voice appeared behind her and she whirled around to face the blonde boy. He looked more fox-like than when he was younger, his eyes slanted and the whisker marks on his cheeks more pronounced. But this was him. This was the one who'd killed her Sasuke. Naruto's eyes widened suddenly as they flickered from her long hair to her green eyes, his mouth falling open. "S- Sakura?"

She kept her face blank and watched as his eyes traveled to the scratched hitai-ite around her neck, before running further towards the village. Naruto had companions there, and she wanted to make them all pay for what they'd done. She would avenge him.

"Sakura- Sakura wait!" Ignoring the confused voice behind her she continued to run until she reached a small clearing. There were two others there, Hinata and Kakashi. She growled as she saw him. He was the worst by far, never seeing anything but Sasuke's sharingan. He was worse than Naruto.

"Sakura…" Kakashi growled darkly as he saw her, his eye narrowing. He could see the hitai-ite, scratched deeply, and the crazed look in her eyes. But he didn't know the half of it, the bastard, he didn't know the half of what he'd done!

"Kakashi." She said, her voice dark. The others in the clearing, along with the just-arriving Naruto, froze to look at her. They'd all heard that she'd been kidnapped and killed by Orochimaru, so why was she here?

"Sakura!" Hinata let out a relieved cry. She'd been very broken up about Sakura's capture and, more importantly, so had Naruto. She always did like him best, didn't she?

"What do you want?" Kakashi asked bluntly as he glared at her, sensing danger, his hand resting on his own hitai-ite, as if threatening her. Pathetic, she wanted to say. The number of times she'd seen Sasuke use it- she knew the sharingan backwards and forwards.

"You always were slow." She snorted back, glowering at him. Of course he didn't remember what he'd done. Suddenly jumping forward, faster than any of them could react to, she got behind Hinata, pressing her short sword against her neck. "And you, you always liked Naruto, didn't you? Sasuke really liked you though. Wanted to be your friend when you were small. Too bad you ignored him."

Sakura stared out at an angry Naruto, before turning to Kakashi, who had look of mild, frightened shock on his face. He knew, now. But it was too late. Much too late. He growled. "So you've become-"

"An avenger." She finishes for him, smiling as she suddenly digs her blade into Hinata's neck. The small girl drops to the ground heavily, blood spraying her in the face. She cleaned her lips of the liquid, licking them slowly just to watch Naruto's face contort in rage. It was fun, watching him be like that. Now she understood why Sasuke liked to annoy him, back when he'd wanted to have Naruto as a friend. Of course, it was too late now. After another split second she leaps forward, towards the grey-haired copy-nin. "You have to go as well, of course. You only ever saw him as a tool, as an Uchiha prodigy." She spat the words like a curse, sarcasm turning the statement into a threat. Don't worry! I'll avenge you Sasuke!

But as she reached him she felt cold. He wasn't there. She'd misjudged. How could she? It was a stupid mistake- she should have been able to make a hit like this-

"Like you knew the real Sasuke either, fan-girling on him like you did." Kakashi spat, with nothing else to say, appearing behind her and kicking her violently into a nearby tree. Damn! She'd been set up!

"I was stupid then!" She shouted angrily. "At least I tried to get close to him! When I got captured he let me in, and then you killed him!" Whirling around she swore, glowering at the confused copy-nin. "You killed him you fucking selfish bastards! You never even tried to help him!"

Naruto gives her a half angry, half scandalized look before rushing to Hinata's side. Kakashi just continues to stare. And suddenly, he's not there. She whirls around to face him, but before she can turn around she feels something stab her chest from behind, and she almost topples over. Dammit! All those years and she'd still fallen for this! Dammit! Collapsing to the ground she growls, hearing Kakashi walk to her front.

"Fine." She pants, pushing herself up just enough to look at her ex-mentor. "But remember, all you're doing is killing another m-misunderstood outcast, for-forced to avenge those they loved. You- you're just killing S-Sasuke again."

Kakashi looks down at the dying girl with a look of profound pity, trying to ignore Naruto's anguished screams.
