Sakura POV

As I entered Sunagakure: the village hidden in the sand, I began to replay the moments I experienced two days prior. I shuddered in mere disgust, not with only them, but also with myself. How could I let myself become so comfortable in Konoha? Why didn't I flee when I had the chance? But that chance was the night before the graduation ceremony from the academy. And I desperately hoped, that somehow, my demons from the past would not chase me this once. Sure it was nice while it lasted, if you exclude the fact that I restrained myself of any elemental usage at all. Then yes, it was a blast. Ah who am I kidding. Myself? Never.

Normal POV.

Sakura silently crept the dusty roads of the night and jumping from roof top to roof top. Her eyes scanned the area for a market that was open at this hour. Surely she knew there had to be because shinobi need equipment and necessities 24 hours. Finally spotting a small hut where another shinobi was buying something, Sakura leaped of the high pillar/home and gracefully landed on her toes behind the shop. When the shop keeper was looking, Sakura snatched a black cloth of some attire and a silver cloth she made out as a cloak. Leaping once more, she accelerated her speed and in no more than 5 minutes she escaped Suna.

Sakura kept skidding on her toes as any shinobi does to reduce turbulence. When arriving to her new cave, she proceeded to dress herself in her new attire which surprisingly turned out to be a short, black, nylon/spandex, one shoulder dress that reached 2 inches below her knees. 'This is new' she thought. And quickly put her cloack on and headed off to Konohagakure.

It took Sakura only a one day journey instead of a two day journey for she would accelerate her speed each mile as if she was hunted down, which could be likely in her position. Finally arriving the gates of Konoha, she noticed one of the two guards Genma, sound asleep. Sakura sweat dropped and proceeded to her home.

Opening the door, the same realization that would strike her every time she walked through-'It may look like a home with a loving family, but it is only myself renting with two other Anbus and the landlord woman.' Sakura lovingly smirked to herself remembering that the landlord was a woman who happened to be young, beautiful, and amazing an alcoholic. Amazing.

Authors Pointers to Help Understand

1) In the story I described the cave to be in a cliff face, so the cave is in the Wind Country.

2) If you did not notice that in the beginning of the story Sakura has short hair, so I'm pointing out that Sakura is 13 years old. I may not point this fact out later, but this is at least 2 months after Naruto left to go train for 2 years.

3) Any question message me or review J I love reviews!
