Special, special thanks to SasuSakuisforalways for reviewing and thanks for the advice! I am still thinking on what else to improve on so advice will be appreciated :)

The awakening was not what Sakura had expected, it was not a dreamless sleep, no, it was a replay of all her memories. She was perfectly still on the outside but on the inside she has to experience her emotions all over again. The pain of being the unloved one, the pain of having someone taken away from you and the pain of having your friends abandoning you. The awakening meant that Sakura had to control her feelings to become the ideal ninja and so the awakening began.

Inside the Dream

"Katsuki, wait, don't leave me here!" Sakura cried out as she ran towards the familiar Nurse. All of a sudden Katsuki turned around and transformed into the New Nurse with the fake smile, the New Nurse grinned evilly towards Sakura, "I'm sorry Sakura but Katsuki is dead" The New Nurse said as she advanced towards Sakura with a needle in her hand. Sakura started to scream and as the Nurse advanced she backed away. The Nurse drew closer and closer... Sakura closed eyes "Katsuki..." she thought, "I miss you Katsuki". Suddenly Katsuki's gentle voice filled her head, "Sakura, you can't just give up, you need to be strong". Sakura's eyes snapped open, she glared at the evil nurse as stepped forward, "I'm not scared of you" Sakura started out quietly.

The Nurse looked at her in confusion, "I SAID, I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU" Sakura bellowed as Katsuki's voice filled her head. The Nurse backed away in fear as Sakura stomped forward with anger. Sakura reached out to push her away but the illusion blurred and turned into a new one. Suddenly she was surrounded by her friends or the people who used to be her friends. Sakura felt all her confidence deflate, in the last situation there had been one person to deal with but now there were many. Then the replay began, "Sakura, I can't believe you tried to kill Sasuke, I trusted you" Naruto said putting emphasis into the word TRUST. All her other friends looked at her with disapproving looks. They insulted her, for a brief second Sakura felt like bursting into tears again like she had done before. But she knew, things HAD to change.

Sakura stepped forward "What about when he tried to kill me" she said in a broken voice, "If he has the right to kill me, then why shouldn't I?" She questioned them. Sakura turned to Naruto and said "Didn't you care about me... or is it just all about Sasuke?", Naruto simply looked at her in disbelief. She walked towards him and put her hands onto his shoulders "ANSWER ME NARUTO!" Sakura screamed as she shook him violently. She raised her fist and was about to deliver a blow when the scene changed yet again.

Sakura looked around, it was the place where she had spent her first years of childhood at, in other words her HOME. Her parents walked up to her crouching form. "WHY DID I HAVE TO BE BURDENED WITH A DAUGHTER LIKE YOU!" Sakura's father yelled as Sakura flinched at his loud voice. Both her parents yelled things like "YOU WERE AN ACCIDENTAL CHILD YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE BORN, WE ONLY MEANT TO HAVE TWO CHILDREN BUT THEN YOU CAME ALONG, BECAUSE YOU ARE SO WEAK YOU HAVE BROUGHT DISGRACE TO THIS CLAN, I CAN'T BEAR TO EVEN TAKE YOU OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF YOUR STRANGE APPEARANCE!"

Sakura just let tears pour out of her eyes, she could deal with a Nurse, she could deal with friends but one thing she could not deal with was her family. All she wanted to do was give up and let herself be consumed by eternal darkness. How could they say such cruel things to her, their OWN child, suddenly Sakura felt her sadness ebb away only to be replaced with anger. She stood up and wiped her tears.

"Maybe some of those things are true... BUT IS IT MY FAULT I WAS BORN, NO! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, SO START BEHAVING LIKE ADULTS, MAYBE IF YOU HAD TRIED TO BE MORE LOVING AND CARING I COULD HAVE BECOME STRONGER!"Sakura screamed in fury. Her parents looked at her in shock, then the image swirled like the rest, then all Sakura could see was darkness.

Then she felt as if her soul had just been thrown back into her body. Sakura awoke with a gasp, she looked around, she was in a hospital. It was hospital for sure but it was not the Leaf village hospital. "Just as I thought no one cared to come and find me" Sakura whispered to herself. A medic suddenly stepped forward with a smile plastered all over her face. "Excuse me" The medic said kindly.

"You look as if your in a bit of a shock, you must be wondering where you are!" The medic stated in a friendly voice. Sakura turned her head towards the medic, she seems really kind Sakura thought, she reminds me of Katsuki. Sakura then stopped her train of thought about Katsuki because the reason of the awakening was to forget the past and get over it. Just like the saying "Don't cry over spilled milk".

Sakura opened her mouth and said "Yes, I would like to know where I am and I would also like to know how long have I been in this state ". The medic smiled "Welcome to the village of stone, you have been here for a whole two weeks, I do hope you are feeling better!" She said enthusiastically.

"Two weeks" Sakura thought, "I was to finish this mission in a day and a half" She continued think in shock, "I was right, no one cares" Sakura whispered letting her face drop. "Huh, what was that?" The medic asked, "I was just saying thank you for your hospitality but I must get going" Sakura said as she sat up."Okay nice meeting you princess" The medic replied, "Princess" Sakura thought.

As Sakura made her way to the exit she saw many people looking at her, her pink usually did attract attention but definitely not this much. Something was wrong, she wondered if the dream had caused her appearance to have some sort of changes, she imagined scars all over her face and that just made her shiver. Sakura looked in the mirror and blinked, then she closed her eyes and shook her head, but what she saw on the mirror was the same.

"What the..." Sakura thought as she looked at her now pale skin, she also had red lips, her green eyes were just a shade darker, her hair was more of a darker more beautiful pink. Her wide forehead was gone. "Damn it!" Sakura shouted, "I can't go back like this" Sakura thought.

After much consideration Sakura decided on pulling her ANBU mask over her face, Sakura was also wearing a black skirt which was less than knee length. She also wore boots , her gloves and black sleeveless ANBU shirt. (Yup, Sakura is ANBU, it's cos she needs the mask.)

After hours of travelling Sakura returned to the Leaf village, she was upset no one had cared but she had to live with it, maybe she could run away to her old village and live there, since all the villagers of that village had died except for her. It was called the village hidden in vines. (could not think of anything else and the thought of swinging on vines sounds nice and I already used crystal so I don't really want to use it again.)

For now she thought I will put up with this, but there will be a time when I leave, Sakura then went to report to the Hokage tower. Tsunade looked up from her work and said "Your late". "I was unconscious for two weeks, so I was taken care of, I'm not surprised you didn't send anyone to find me " Sakura said bitterly.

As she walked through the village she kept her mask on, suddenly Ino stood before her with Sasuke. "Well hello forehead, what too you so long" Ino said in a mocking tone. Sasuke started smirking by her side, "oooooh are you trying to hide your huge forehead with this mask" Ino mocked as she pulled her mas of. Sakura simply blinked.

Sasuke and Ino stared, Sakura felt panicked and started trying to grab the mask out of Ino's hand, Ino smirked and passed it to Sasuke. Sakura let out a frustrated scream as she tried to grab her mask back. Unfortunately for her, he was taller than her, Ino rushed over to call the rest of the ninjas.

Sakura felt like crying, they all laughed cruelly as she tried to grab the mask out of Sasuke's hand. Then she felt somebody push her, Sakura fell and scraped her knee, she couldn't help but let the tears flow instead of letting out a fake smile. "Ha, Sakura your so hated that Tsunade took me in as her student instead" Ino said in a laughing voice. "No one wants you in their team because your a burden, Sensei didn't even pay attention to you!" Naruto said in a equally cruel voice. All the Ninjas smirked.

"You people are so cruel, all of you ganging on one person, your the ones who are weak, Your COWARDS" Sakura gritted out as tears streamed down her face. All the Ninjas froze as they saw tears pour out of Sakura's eyes, "But you nearly killed Sasuke" Naruto said.

"Didn't Sasuke nearly kill me to?" Sakura screamed, "Don't you care about me Naruto?" Sakura said in a quiet voice. Naruto avoided the question and said "It's not Sasuke's fault, when he was young he saw a lot of violence, which probably made him violent towards us" Naruto tried.

"Do you know what happened to me Naruto, from the age of 8 months I started walking, from then my parents tried to train me, but you see I was a baby who needed love and care, they shouted at me and hurt me if I got something wrong." Sakura said to widened eyes

"I watched as they would love my older brother and sister, I was the hated one" Sakura whispered. "They told me I was a mistake, they said shouldn't of been born, they commented on my appearance, I had no friends, I was not allowed outside, my parents were afraid that my clan would've been frowned upon." she continued.

"When I turned four my parents took me to the hospital they said I needed a check up, they left me in a hospital room, Medics wanted to research why my hair and eye colour was different, so my parents sold me to them and left me."Sakura whispered as more tears flowed.

"I then had a nurse Katsuki who I really loved, she was always like what my mother should of been like, about a year later she died in an accident and I ran away, then when I was six I arrived at Leaf village, they allowed me to attend ninja academy, at first I was bullied and had no friends but then Ino came along" Sakura said with a weak smile on her face.

By this time Ino herself was crying, "Then I saw a article, it said my clan had been murdered and it wasn't fair because I felt upset, when they hated me, then I wished that life didn't take Ino or my new friends away from me. " Sakura finished.

The Female ninjas were crying while the Male ninjas had their mouths open and their eyes wide, on the other hand Naruto had his hands clenched by his sides with his hair covering his eyes. Sasuke also had his hair covering his eyes and his hands were folded. "But it looks like life already took my friends away from me, congratulations on making my life hell." Sakura said in a broken voice.

Then she turned around and ran all the way back to her apartment, The others followed her, Sasuke was the fastest but he couldn't catch up to her, ever since her awakening she had become a more efficient ninja. When Sakura reached her apartment she locked the door and all the windows. She jumped into her bed, pulled the sheets over her head, (did that rhyme, or was it just me?) and cried.

Over the next few days people kept trying to call her so she unplugged her phone, Ino tried her mind control jutsu but Sakura just shut her out, the banged on her door she refused to open it. Then Sakura heard her door bust open. "Sakura we're sorry" The ninjas said together.

Sakura didn't care all she said was "Go away, I hate you". Her voice sounded so desperate that they all decided to leave. All of them left except Sasuke, Sakura thought everyone had gone so she was about to get up and wipe the blood off her face but she realised Sasuke was there. He looked at her in shock as he saw the tears of blood all over her face, Sakura immediately threw the covers over herself again.

"Sakura" Sasuke said, "I-I'm sorry" he said, "We didn't know you felt so..." Sasuke trailed off, Sasuke looked at her and saw that she was still sobbing, He went into her kitchen and got a towel which he wet with some water, he also grabbed a glass of water. Sasuke sat Sakura up and handed her the glass of water, Sakura got the message and drank the water, if she kept crying like this she would die from blood loss or dehydration. While Sakura drank the water Sasuke gently wiped the blood of her face. When Sakura finished she laid back down she felt a little better but very sleepy.

"Sakura I made Tsunade..." Ino shouted as she walked into the room, but she backed out when she saw Sakura sleeping. "We have a lot of making up to do for Sakura after we hurt her so bad" Ino said, looking ashamed of herself. "Hn..." Sasuke replied as they shut her door quietly and went to join the rest.
