A Twist In Time

I woke up at 6 the next morning. I got up and made me my Crunch berries. I finished 10 minutes later. I washed my bowl and set it to dry. I walked into my room and got dressed. I grabbed the video camera and put it in my trench coat pocket. I looked at a clock and saw it was 6:20.

I wrote a note on two sticky notes and placed them on Shizune's and Tsunade's foreheads. They read:

I've gone to morning practice. I'll be home in a few hours. Help yourselves to anything in the house.

Sakura

I left the apartment. I walked down the street and saw a book store. I walked in and bought a few books.

I walked to the meeting place, which was the bridge, reading the first volume of my books I bought. If it weren't for my self control I would be giggling and blushing like mad.

I reached the bridge and saw Uchiha was already there. He ignored me and I ignored him, still reading my book.

3 hours later I had finished my second book and I silently got my video camera out.

Kakashi arrived.

" Yo." He said. He eyed me carefully.

They didn't notice the video camera as I pressed record. I stepped back and leaned against the railing.

Uchiha stood next to Kakashi, who had jumped down from the pillar thing.

" Hey, hey, hey! Why is Kakashi-sensei early?!" A voice yelled from behind me. I smirked.

' And let the fun begin.' I thought sadistically.

Kakashi and Uchiha looked down the road at a orange clad figure approaching fast with wide eyes.

" Naruto/Dobe?!" They yelled.

" Yeah? What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?" Naruto asked.

" I thought you were dead! I saw Sakura kill you! I even checked for a pulse and there wasn't one!" Kakashi yelled.

" Dead?" Naruto scratched the back of his head. " I knew you didn't like me, but dead? And why would Sakura-chan try to kill me? She carried me home, told me when practice was, and even got me some asprin for my headache I had earlier."

They stared at me and saw I had recorded it all.

" You knew about this didn't you?" Uchiha asked.

I glared at him. " Well, no shit I did! I was the one that ' killed' him."

Kakashi stared at me. " How did you stop his heart if he's not dead?"

I sighed. " I threw a needle in his neck. There are no major arteries in the neck so it made his heart stop without killing him."

They stared at me.

" You know it's not nice to stare?" I said, bored.

" You know it's not nice to trick your team mates into thinking their other team mate is dead?" Uchiha sneered.

I glared icily at him. " Keep your fucking comments to yourself, you cold hearted bastard."

Everyone stared at me in shock.

I sighed. " If all you're going to do is stare at me I have a book to read." I pulled out my book, which was Icha Icha Paradise volume 3.

They stared at me.

" You read smut?!" Naruto yelled.

" Yeah, I read smut. I need something to do while I wait for Panda-chan." I said absently.

" Wait, who's Panda-chan?" Kakashi asked.

" You'll find out soon." I said absently. " I'm gonna head home if we're not going to train."

I walked off.

10 minutes later I was deep in the forest. I put up my book and sighed.

' I guess I'll go get some weights from Gai. I need to bring up my stamina.'

I walked to team Gai's training grounds and saw Lee and Neji sparring, Tenten sharpening her weapons, and Gai supervising the spar.

I walked up to Gai. He looked down at me.

" Your youth is strong! What do you need?" He asked in a good guy pose.

I sweat dropped. " Um, I need some weights."

" Okay! Here! I tried to get Tenten and Neji to use them but they refused." Guy said handing me 20 pound weights. I snorted.

" You're underestimating me. Give me more." I said.

All eyes were on me.

" Very well then. Here." He handed me 2 80 pound weights.

" This is a good start." I said nodding in satisfaction. " Thanks Gai."

" How do you know my name?" He asked. " And who are you?"

" My name is Sonura Haruka." I lied. " And Kakashi told me."

" Ah! My eternal rival! What did he say about me?" He asked.

" He said you were a freak that had bushy eyebrows and wore green spandex. He also told me you were the best in taijutsu." I said.

He smiled. " Ah!"

" Would you help me get my stamina up?" I asked. " Kakashi isn't much of a help."

" Ah! Yes I would be glad to help! Come here tomorrow at 3."

I nodded. " Okay!"

I looked at Neji. His Byakugan was on and he was looking at my stomach.

...

" Shit!" They all jumped. " I gotta go! Um, there's an emergency at home. Bye!" I disappeared in a burst of black and pink cherry blossoms.

I reappeared in my living room.

" Hi Sakura!" Tsunade said.

" Hi Tsunade-sama. Oh! I recorded their reactions. Want to watch?"

" Yes!"

Half an hour later we were laughing.

" Oh my god! That was hillarious!" Tsunade said.

" Yeah. Hey, want to go to a bar?" I asked.

" Aren't you a little young?"

" Not if you say I'm your apprentice and you want to get me immune to alcohol."

Tsunade smiled slyly. " I really like you, Sakura."

" I do too!" I said. " Now let me go change!"

I came out of my room 20 minutes later. I was in a black skirt that ended a little above mid-thigh, a black tank top that ended above my belly button and showed a lot of cleavage in a pretty way, black high heels, and a dangling silver skull belly button ring. I also had on some light make up.

" Wow! You look hot!" Tsunade said.

" Thanks." I looked at the clock and saw it was 6.

We walked outside and walked into a random bar.

" Wait! Sakura, your kids!" Tsunade said.

" Oh yeah. I'll just use a jutsu to make sure my kids don't get hurt while I'm drinking." I said as I perfomed the jutsu. " There! All done! Now let's get drunk!"

4 hours and 40 sake bottles later Kakashi and Genma came in.

I snuck up on Kakashi and hugged him from behind.

" Man Kakashi. When did you get so hooot?" I asked sensually.

He turned around. " Sakura?! What are you doing here?!"

Genma laughed. " You're getting picked up by a 12 year old!"

" Not just any 12 year old either. This is my student!" Kakashi said.

Genma stopped laughing and looked me over. He whistled. " Pretty hot student if I do say so myself."

" Sakura! What about Panda-chan?" Tsunade asked.

I gasped. I let go of Kakashi and fell on the floor. " Oh no! If Panda-chan knew I was cheating on him we don't get to have any fun anymore!" I cried.

" Sakura, who's Panda-chan?" Kakashi asked.

" He's my -sniff- husband." I said.

" What did you mean by ' fun'?" Genma asked.

" Sex, silly!" I said happily. I then got sad. " I want Panda-chan!" I cried on Tsunade.

Kakashi and Genma stared at me.

" Tsunade-chan! I want Panda-chan!" I cried. " I want him now!"

" Sakura, you have to wait. He'll be here in a few weeks." Tsunade comforted.

" Okay!" I said happily, drying my tears. " Kakashi, Genma, come join us!"

They followed us to our table. There they saw all of our bottles of sake.

" How much did you drink?!" They yelled.

" Only about 20 bottles each." I answered. I started crying out of the blue.

Kakashi stared at me. " What happened?"

" No! Take me with you! I love you Mr. Pink Unicorn!" I screamed.

" What the hell is she saying?!" Kakashi asked.

I then fainted.

Tsunade sighed. " She doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance. I'll take her home. She's really drunk. She's just muttering nonsense."

Tsunade then left in a puff of smoke.

" Oh, here's the bill sirs. They didn't pay so you have to." A waitress said.

" 500?!" They yelled.

A few days later...

I woke up with a major hangover.

" Tsunade! How much did we drink last night?!" I yelled.

" Only 30 bottles this time." She said.

" Oh. Okay then. I have to go meet my team for a mission so later!"

I changed into my outfit and added the weights and the black leg and arm warmers.

I ran to the bridge. I saw I was the last one there.

" Nice of you to join us Sakura." Kakashi glared.

" What? Are you still mad that you had to pay for my sake?" I asked.

" Yes! Now I'm broke and I can't buy Icha Icha Paradise volume 6."

" I'll get it for you. I know the author personally." I said.

" Really?!"

" Please don't yell. I've got a major hang over. I'll get it for you later. So what's the mission?" I asked.

" We have to escort and protect the master bridge builder Tazuna." Kakashi said.

' Shit! This soon?! I need to save Haku. He didn't deserve to die.'

' I know. We have to save Zabuza too. The kid practically worships him.'

' I know. I need to tell Tsunade.'

I sighed. " I have to go home and pack."

" Okay. Go and let's meet at the gate in half an hour." Kakashi said.

I nodded. I appeared in my room. I started packing clothes, weapons, scrolls, weapons, food, weapons, water, and more weapons into a bag. I sorta developed a weapons fetish from training with Tenten before she died in my time. ( A/N: Obsessive much? Oo')

I hid weapons on my body and put my hair up in a tight bun and held it there with two senbon. I hid some more scrolls containing weapons in my trench coat. I put on more weights and found Tsunade in the living room.

" Tsunade, I'm going on a mission. I have to escort someone. It's going to take a week or so, okay?"

She nodded.

" Don't destroy the place. Also, where's Shizune?"

" She has a cold." Tsunade said.

" Oh. Okay then. Don't drink to much. You know you'll regret it later. Bye!"

I ran out the door.

I ran to the hotsprings and found Jiriya peeking into the womens' bath. I silently walked up to him from behind.

" Letcher." I said accusingly in his ear.

He looked up in alarm.

" Sakura, what are you doing here?" He asked.

" You know how I said I would need something from you in the future? Well that time is now."

" What do you want?" He asked.

" I want you to give me 2 copies of every new Icha Icha Paradise book you make before they hit stores and a volume 6. My sensei is a huge fan." I rolled my eyes.

He nodded quickly. He handed me 3 books. They were 2 volume 7s, which don't hit the stores for weeks, and a volume 6.

" Fine! Just as long as you don't beat me up again and expose me."

I nodded. " Bye Jiriya. See you when you give me the new volume."

I ran to the gates and saw I was the last one again.

" Kakashi, I got your book and a copy of volume 7, it's signed too." I said as l handed them to him.

" Volume 7?! That doesn't hit the stores for weeks! How did you get it?!" He asked.

" l told you. I know the author personally."

" You. Are. A. God!" He said, practically bowing at my feet.

I sweat dropped. " Okay...?" I said slowly.

I looked up and saw Tazuna. I walked over to him. I bowed.

" I will protect you with my life." I said with determination. I looked up and he could see the truth of it in my eyes. " But... never underestimate me. It would be a deadly mistake." I said narrowing my eyes and glaring at him.

He gulped. " O-Okay."

I smiled. " Good! Now that we understand each other, let's get going!"

' That girl is scary.' Tazuna thought.

" Oh, Sakura. What's with the arm and leg warmers?" Kakashi asked.

" Their concealing something I don't want you to see." I said cryptically.

We started walking and I fell back a bit. Nobody noticed. We passed the puddle and I jumped into a tree. I waited until they were out of earshot 'till I brought out my puppet and made it throw a kunai at the puddle, while I, myself, was consealing my presense in the tree.

The ninja jumped out. I made my puppet run into the foliage for the ninja to follow. They did.

" Pretty smart girl." One said.

" Probably all she has too." Said the other.

I brought out another puppet and transformed it to look like me. I made my other puppet form the hand signs for the clone jutsu. There was a cloud of smoke and my other puppet was beside the first.

" Just a clone?" The first asked.

" We're going to kill you girl." The other said.

" No, I am." I said lowly, throwing my voice so it sounded from behind them.

They turned around and I made my puppets attack them quickly.

They screamed out in pain. The others heard and ran to the site.

I put my puppets away quickly and wounded my self lightly, but it still looked like I came out of a pretty bad battle.

" Sakura!" Kakashi and Naruto yelled. They ran up to me. I sat down against a tree.

" What happened?" Kakashi asked.

I made myself sound weak. " I noticed a puddle and threw a kunai at it. Those ninja came out of it and I fought them. They said they were after Tazuna. Gato sent them. I think they were chunin." I coughed up blood. " They said they work under Zabuza."

Kakashi stared at me. " Good work. You did well in gathering information." He looked over my wounds. His eyes widened slightly.

' Her wounds look self inflicted and are almost healed.'

" Kakashi? What's wrong?" I asked, even though I already knew.

" Nothing. Let's get you to a hospital."

" No!" They stared at me. " I mean, I'm fine. Let's go. I can take care of myself."

They nodded slowly.

We walked for 2 hours and I almost thought Zabuza wouldn't come.

Just then I sensed a sword coming towards us.

I knocked everyone out and caught the sword in mid-flight.

" Little girl, you are quite strong." A voice said from behind me.

" Shit!" I cursed as I swung the sword around quickly. I smelled blood. I had hit him.

" You'll regret that girl." The voice said as a figure came out of the trees.

I smirked. " No. No, I don't think I will Zabuza."
