A/N: Back. This is the first thing I finished. I'm still busy w/ work and school, so it'll be a while before I post again. Thanks and Enjoy!

Naruto looked into the burning flames of the former hospital building that Sakura had tried to burn down. Still unconscious on Naruto's shoulders, Sakura 'slept' as peacefully as a madwoman could.

"At least everyone had gotten out ok…" Naruto sighed as he watched more allied ninja arrive at the scene to try and contain the fire.

"Damn it, Sakura… Why did this have to happen to you?" Naruto set Sakura down, leaning her against a nearby fence.

Naruto looked around, spotting a shouting Tsunade. Naruto called to the aged woman. Tsunade turned to face the blonde, moving towards him and the downed Sakura.

"What the hell is it, Naruto? What do you-?" Tsunade spotted the downed Sakura, not believing her eyes.

"Is that…?" She asked.

"Yes, she's here Tsunade. She's the one who caused the fire…" Naruto said slowly.

"Damn it. What should we do with her Naruto?" Tsunade asked.

"I think we need to put her in the hospitals mental health ward after it's repaired. After that, I will continue looking for Sasuke-." Naruto was cut off by a chuckle from the prone Sakura.

"Hehehehehe… Too late, Naru-Kun… Sasuke is DEAD! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sakura sat up right, holding her bruised stomach, laughing like the insane person she was! Her hair covered her eyes, blocking them from sight.

Sakura pushed herself up unto her knees, trying to stand. Tsunade and Naruto didn't move, too deep in shock to even think!

"I killed him myself… Me! Pathetic, little, weak Sakura… all~ by myself. Hehehehehe…. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ARE YOU PROUD!? I, Sakura, the weakest of the entire rookie 12, took out Sasuke! HAHAHAHAHA! Urk-"

An ANBU moved behind Sakura and knocked her out by hitting a point on the back of her neck. The ANBU caught her before she hit the ground and quickly bound her arms and legs together.

"Did… did she just say-?" Tsunade asked Naruto with wide eyes.

"She did. I- I don't believe it though, Tsunade. I can't believe it." Naruto said staring out into the blackness of the night.

Tsunade moved next to the slightly singed and blackened blonde, putting her hand on his shoulder. Taking a deep breath, Tsunade turned to the ANBU and gave him the order to take Sakura to the I&T division in the Hokage tower. The ANBU nodded and disappeared with the damaged Sakura in his arms.

"Don't worry Naruto. She's just… damaged. She was just rambling about none-sense." Tsunade tried to assure him.

"What's going to happen to her?" Naruto asked with concern in her eyes.

"I don't know. I have to tell the council about this… and when the other nations find out about this, they will be calling for her head on a platter." Tsunade replied, looking to the burning hospital.

"Can I talk to her soon?"

"Maybe in a few days, Naruto."

(3 days later, I&T division cell 5-3A)

"You look better without that crap on your face, Sakura-Chan." A solemn but smiling Naruto said to a jailed Sakura.

"Thanks, Naruto." She simply replied without looking at him.

Naruto smiled softly while pulling a small box out from behind his back. Sliding the box in-between the cell's bars, he laid it as close as he could to Sakura. Sakura looked up to Naruto with a questioning gaze.

"It's some food I made for you. They already checked it." Naruto said, sitting back into his foldable chair.

"Why?" Sakura asked, her face now sporting a small smile in a rare moment of sanity.

"I heard that jail food sucked, so I made you a sandwich. Grilled cheese with extra cheese… I was going to make you some ramen, but thought better of it." Naruto said, leaning closer to the chakra-enforced bars.

The scars on Sakura's face stretched a little more. She picked up the box, and opened it. "Thank you, Naruto. It was… very thoughtful of you."

Taking a bite of the grilled cheese sandwich, she bounced back to her bed and plopped herself down upon it.

"Yummy! Much better than the shit they serve here!"

"Glad you like it. It took me several tries to get it right. I'm still not much of a cook… hehe."

"Yep… so, what's the council's decision?" Sakura asked, eating the Grilled Cheese sandwich with vigor.

Naruto's smile dropped of his face in an instant. His eyes dropped, suddenly finding his sandals more interesting that Sakura and her sandwich.

"They… Their pushing for execution, Sakura. They want you dead." Naruto's sky blue eyes looked to the floor with a hard stare.

Sakura could feel her sanity slipping again as she replied with a chuckle, "Oh… that's most troubling… hehehehe."

"Are you worried?" Naruto asked, now looking at the smirking Sakura.

"Yes and no."

"Why 'yes and no'?"

"Because," Sakura began, looking Naruto in the eyes, "I'm not done yet! Hahahahahahahahaha!"

An explosion rocked Naruto's apartment as he tried to sleep. Waking instantly, Naruto looked out his window to see the Hokage tower in flames. Shocked, Naruto jumped out of bed only to hit something… or more like someone.

Landing on his ass, Naruto looked up in the darkness to see Sakura standing over him, a grin on her scared face.

"Good morning, Naruto-kun! How'd ya sleep?" Sakura asked, as if nothing was wrong.

Naruto, despite his shock, replied. "But- but how? W- Why?"

"Oh? How did I escape? I just got up and left, that's how! Hehehe." Sakura giggled her reply.

"The tower-." Naruto started but was cut off.

"I did that… all~ for you, Naruto-Chan. Hahaha!" Sakura laughed, kneeling on the floor in front of Naruto.

"But- I- you… How!?" Naruto was confused. His brain forgot to process just how dangerous this Sakura that was Kneeling in front of him was.

"A few explosive tags here and there. Don't worry though; I made sure to get the forbidden scroll before I blew the tower." Sakura said, pulling something out from behind her back.

Naruto's mind finally caught up with him and he moved to subdue Sakura. Sakura was ready for him and dodged his attack, and stabbed a syringe filled with a clear liquid into his neck.

"Ow! What the-?" Naruto exclaimed, jumping back and holding his neck.

"Nothing to worry about, Naruto. It's just a sedative. Perfectly harmless! Hahahahahaha! You'll be out like a light in a few seconds! HAHAHAHAHA!" Sakura laughed as she dodged another strike from Naruto.

"Why would you-?" Naruto tried to ask before the room spun and he fell to the ground. Sakura walked over to his prone form and flipped him over, straddling his waist.

"Oh? Hehe. It's because Naruto-koi…" she leaned down to his ear and said, "Your mine and you're coming with me. Now go to sleep, Naruto… go to sleep…"

Naruto's vision faded as he lost consciousness. The last thing he saw and heard has Sakura laughing insanely…

'Oh shit.' Was Naruto's last thought before the world faded to black…?

~ COFTJ ~

Uh-oh… Not good. What does Sakura have planed for our favorite blonde? Will he escape? Will he be ok? What's going to happen to Konoha? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?
