Noble Spirit: Yeah I know what you mean about the grammar and spelling problems, I've read a lot of good stories with bad grammar that ruined it, but I know some people really struggle with grammar and spelling so I try not to complain.

Sakura is 13, I hadn't yet decided, in the first chapter, if I was going to make it when she was older or when she was younger and it worked out better for her to be younger.

There was no build up to the scene because I didn't really know what to do before they met up with Sasuke also I don't want to focus so much on the beginning of the story but more later on because that's when the story really starts. I thought about it and yes it would've been interesting to see their thoughts but I also wanted everybody else to come up with their own ideas on what they thought because I have a feeling that the people who read this have a different idea than I do.

So I'm sorry if I disappointed you with this chapter but remember I still have many more to go and it will get better.

Now to Fangirl67: Thanks for the review and I'm glad you like it I just hope you'll continue to like it as the story goes on.

Chapter 3

Sakura's eyes slowly opened and she took in her surroundings. She recognized that she was in a white sterile room, a hospital, but why was she waking up in a hospital. Suddenly all the memories from what happened came rushing back.

"Sasuke…" she said quietly. Suddenly at the remembrance of the words he had said to her everything in her just stopped. So many thoughts raced through her head trying desperately to explain what had happened.

"Stop!" she said loudly to herself but her thoughts didn't listen. "Stop!" she said louder and more forcefully and her head finally had one thought at a time.

But that one line of thought still raced through her mind and she argued with herself.

'Why would Sasuke-kun say such evil things to me?' she asked her self.

'Sasuke-kun?' her inner self argued. 'he was lying'

'but I am weak' she said 'and annoying'

'No, everything he said about you was a lie'

'No, I refuse to believe you' Sakura said to her inner self. 'Sasuke-kun wouldn't lie to me'

'You'll still go after Sasuke-kun' her inner self told her.

'No!' she said adamantly 'I've lost all respect for him'

'And yourself' her inner self replied.

Sakura didn't reply.

'Don't ignore m…' her inner self was cut off.

'I'll never listen to you again, you'll stay buried and never come out along with everything I believed I knew before Sasuke-kun no… Sasuke told me the truth' Sakura said angrily to her inner self.

Sakura's eyes turned cold, emotionless, but it wasn't long before a nurse came in.

"Ah, Sakura-San, I'm glad to see you awake." She said happily. Sakura just stared at her covers. The nurse's smile faded as she made sure Sakura was ok.

"I'll just go tell Tsunade-sama that your awake." She said and then left the room. It wasn't long before Tsunade came in.

"Sakura, you're awake." Tsunade said. Sakura didn't reply. "How are you feeling?" Tsunade asked.

"I'm fine." She said and Tsunade was surprised at the void of emotion that came with her voice. Tsunade sighed, it might take Sakura a while to get over the emotional trauma of seeing Sasuke again.

"I'll be nearby if you need me." She said and then left. It was only a few days until she was out of the hospital, she went to see Naruto at Ichiraku's Ramen shop.

"Ah Sakura-chan, you must be better." He said. "Why don't you eat something." He said smiling at her. Sakura sat down but didn't speak at first.

"What happened?" she asked. Naruto noticed that her voice sounded different but he ignored it.

"Sasuke got away with the rest of the subordinates." Naruto said.

"Why?" Sakura asked and Naruto looked at her strangely. "Why'd you save me, why did you stop Sasuke from killing me?" she asked and she looked straight into his eyes. Naruto felt his heart go cold and the blood drain from his face as he saw the coldness in her eyes.

"Sakura…" he didn't know what to say so he was silent for awhile. "We'll get Sasuke back eventually." He said reassuringly.

"No, I don't want Sasuke to come back, I want him dead." Sakura said angrily and this time Naruto noticed the drop of the kun on Sasuke's name.

"Sakura, what's wrong?" he asked but Sakura simply stood up and left leaving Naruto staring at her as she walked away. He looked down at his bowl of ramen suddenly not feeling hungry anymore.

Sakura didn't go on many missions, she stayed to train with Tsunade, but everyone noticed her coldness towards everything. When she wasn't training she would be locked away somewhere away from everyone else. When she did go on missions she never spoke not even to give any advice.

Then she went on a mission, with Shikamaru and a few other people, that made her realize something. She was fighting a ninja, not a very good one but he still gave her a challenge. She fought mercilessly and finally killed the ninja, what she was surprised about was the wave of pleasure that coursed through her entire body and she felt an evil smirk rise on her lips.

After they returned to Konoha she went straight to her mentor.

"Tsunade-sama." She said. Tsunade looked up at her student.

"You've returned." She said pleased. "Good, I have some work I need you to do." She said.

"Tsunade-sama I don't want to be a medical nin anymore." She said. Tsunade looked up at her surprised. "Seeing Sasuke again has made me realize some things." She said.

Tsunade placed her chin on her folded hands as she listened to Sakura. "What would you like to do instead?" she asked.

"I want to train, to be an Anbu member."

AN: Ok bad ending but I'm going to work on the next chapter anyway. I want to warn you all that this story will probably not go the way you want it to go but it will still be… interesting at the very least so please keep reading and reviewing.
