Life Gone Awry

Hey guys thank you so much for the reviews :] Every review I get influences me all the time.

Sariko-Chan723-Awe I wasn't trying to make you feel bad for Sakura. I made a mistake then ;O I have never done a fighting seen before-ever. So I have no idea how this one will turn out. Please let me know if it was too brutal or light or too repetitive ;D Chapter five will be gold I tell you!

Shadow Of The Forgotten Ones- You crack me up XD I was online when you reviewed ch.1 and I couldn't stop laughing. Your ch.3 review was cute. I have no idea what gender you are but if I had to guess from what I know-I'd say a boy ;] If I was wrong- omg sorry XD But I can't wait to see what you have to say next time...Hahaha.

Angel897- Your welcome for updating, for sure I'll keep it up ;3

CruiseGirl- I'm glad that you enjoyed the Sasu/Saku moment- I think the story needed it. Yeah I think my Sakura/Cat story is way different from others. I'd feel bad if it happened to sound a lot like another one, I wouldn't know what to do if it did happen. Either change the whole story, go with the same story, or just discontinue the whole story all together. But I haven't had the bad luck of crossing one so- I'm still going strong with this story until the very end. ;]

Kaelin The Black Swan- Yeah I didn't want Sakura to ever be a half mutated cat/chick thing ever. I haven't seen a story like that though. I know Sasuke was not...Sasuke, but I think I couldn't get very far with him not talking at all. Plus I figure people talk to their pets, vent to them, and spoil them rotten. So I figured why not Sasuke? I think he's only a cold person because he has to be to protect his image. Plus I had to pair him up with someone else and Karin just happened to be there ;] Sakura did take a lot of shit in the real show-i think I exaggerated my version a bit but I felt like it had to be done for you guys to not like them fast. I definitely used Kakashi on her, it seemed to fit that he of all people would be the ring leader in it all. I don't like Karin very much, Ino only at times I like her, and I really don't like Hinata at all after I read some bad fanfics of her that just screamed 'PITY ME'. No love for her at all coming from me-i don't think she deserves Naruto- she gets Shino or something. XD

Nom Nom Nom~

"Orochimaru" Sakura said calmly, looking him dead in the eye. "I'm going to kick your ass."

The tension in the throne room became thick after she said those words. Orochimaru smiled at her boldness, it would surely be the end of her. Karin looked back at Sakura hoping that she had the strength to back up those words. Sasuke looked just as determined as Sakura did at the moment. Kabuto came running in the room panting, his hands on his knees.

"Lord Orochimaru I-" With a flick of her wrist Sakura's katana became encased in Kabuto's head.

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Orochimaru laughed until he couldn't breathe. "Nice try Flower."

Kabuto had slumped to the ground, a pool of blood flowing beneath him. Suddenly his body began to move, and his hand reached for his head taking out the katana in it. He looked up at Sakura and smiled sweetly, throwing back the katana aimed at her head instead. She instantly caught in but glared at the reanimated Kabuto.

"Excellent aim Sakura-Chan. But you cant kill me so easily now. I have developed a serum that gives you power near immortality. You won't be able to stop me!" Kabuto lunged for Sakura's throat.

"Sakura no!" Karin had jumped in the way, blocking Kabuto's attack. "Get Orochimaru!"

Sakura nodded at Karin before she left the two to fight to the death. Sasuke began to groan and writhe side to side, Orochimaru was continuing his body take over. Sakura slipped on her gloves quickly before she sent a massive amount of chakra to her fist.

'This is for you pedophile' Sakura thought as she made the ground shatter into billions of pieces where Sasuke and Orochimaru were standing. It had caught him off guard, and Sakura took that moment to gather more chakra into her fist and deal a bone crunching blow to Orochimaru's head. He had let go of Sasuke by then and he fell to the ground.

"Sasuke!" Sakura called. He seemed to be gathering himself while he walked over to her.

"Are you ok Sasuke?" she asked him, unsure.

"Yes, I'm fine. That was just a trip, is all." Sasuke got into a fighting pose, Sharingan activated.

"Then lets finish him off the right way." Sakura smiled darkly. Sasuke got the hint and smiled.

"Ladies first." Sasuke bowed with his hand.

"Your such a gentleman, Sasuke." Sakura yelled as she landed a kick to the side of the snake lord's head.

"Oh I know, just like how I know your such a ladylike figure to others." Sasuke chidori-ed Orochimaru's stomach open, blood gushing out of the gaping hole.

"Great Sasuke, I wanted to toy with him more. Now I have a limited time to kick his ass." Sakura glared at her teammate.

"Sorry, I didn't know you liked that kind of thing" He gave her an odd look.

"What? No its not that. Its just I hate him more than others." Sakura gave Orochimaru another chakra infused punch to the face and then a chakra infused kick to the spine. She heard a rewarding crunch and then a scream of pain. Sakura smiled wide as Orochimaru's form slumped to the ground.

"Is he dead?" Sasuke asked her, he was watching Karin and Kabuto fight.

"I think s-" Orochimaru started to cough up blood as he dug around in his pocket for something.

'I thought he couldn't move his arms? Hm, Kabuto must have fixed that recently.' She thought watching him continue to search in his pocket.

"Hahaha *cough cough* Sakura Haruno, apprentice of my old teammate Tsunade. It seems quite fitting that you would be the one to kill me. The only thing I regret is the fact that I couldn't get over the shock and joy of the situation before it was too late. If I had earlier-you would all be dead in front of me. But Sakura, don't think your actions won't only be rewarded by my death. Here, a gift for you-the proof that you were the one to kill me and not anyone else." Orochimaru threw a ring her way, Sakura caught it with ease. She looked at It for a while and then asked:

"What is this kind of ring?" She stared at it for a while longer.

"Hahahaha Its-*cough cough* Its a ring that represents great power. Don't let it ever leave you. If you wear it-you will be of access to even greater power *cough cough cough* Trust me this once, I have nothing to gain by killing you now. I have researched this ring before I searched it out. You wont be disappointed my dear." He looked honest as his life was slipping quickly away from his grasp.

"Well...thank you, I guess. I still hate you though." She looked away with a pout.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, beautiful flower." Orochimaru laughed his last breaths away.

"Its over." Sasuke stated.

"No. its not- Karin needs our help." Sakura ran to Karin's aid as she took a blow to the chest from Kabuto.

"Damn bastard! Why won't you die!" Sakura had screamed as she aimed a punch at Kabuto. He had dodged it, Sakura pulverized the ground underneath her feet. Sasuke had grabbed Karin a while back, he whispered worried words into her ear as she softly whimpered a reply.

'Did I ever act like that? Yeah...i did. But I'm not that girl anymore' she thought, grabbing her katana.

"Awe little run away Sakura is gonna play? This should be easy." Kabuto smirked.

"Don't underestimate me." Sakura growled, tightening her grip on her sword.

Kabuto launched himself at her with his patented chakra scalpels. Sakura had dodged it just barely, earning herself a nasty slice on her arm. She winced at the pain but charged on. Kabuto grinned at the mark he made. Sakura preformed her shadow clone Justu effectively cornering him where he was.

"I'm done playing games Kabuto. You die today." Sakura smirked as he grinned back.

"Do you really think that killing me is that easy? I'll have you know that you will never, I repeat never kill-AHHHHHHHH!!!!" Kabuto's explaining was cut short as half of her clones severed all his limbs and finally his head. The other half of her clones preformed a fire ball Justu, burning him to ash.

"Yes, actually it was quite easy. Bastard." Sakura spat into the ashes and walked over to Sasuke.

"Wow Sakura. That was pretty harsh." Sasuke was wide eyed as he turned to her.

"Well I'm tired of being pushed around. I got my revenge in a way." Sakura had smiled to him.

"I'll make a note to not underestimate you. You did kill Kabuto and Orochimaru back to back."

"HELL YEAH TAKE THAT FOOLS!!!~Oh geeze sorry. That wasn't me." Sakura blushed, embarrassed. Inner Sakura was beginning to mesh with her again.

"Its fine. Do you think Karin will be ok?" his eyes showed so much worry it hurt her healing heart.

"Yes, as long as you make your way to Konoha now she won't have any complications"

"Aren't you coming with? I thought you said yes earlier." Sasuke hoped she would come.

"No I'm not. You have Karin now, and I'm labeled as a missing nin by now. I'll find something to do out here. I don't ever want to go back to that village ever again." She spoke with much hate.

Sasuke nodded. "I wont question why. But please Sakura be safe. You aren't the strongest of all ninja out here, but you can hold your own at least for a little while. Please for me at least."

Sakura smiled at Sasuke. She felt warm inside at the fact that Sasuke still cared for her. She really could call him a true friend. Karin if she could talk-would be saying the same thing. She fought well, and Sakura was proud of her. But she wasn't strong enough and had a long way to go.

"Yes. Sasuke, thank you for everything." Sakura started to walk away when she heard him call in the distance:

"No problem my little Tenshi. Don't hesitate to call when you need any help!" Sasuke's voice disappeared after that. Sakura blushed and quickly left the hideout.

'I wonder what I'll do now that I have my body back. And whats with this ring? I think I want to try it on for some reason.' Sakura thought as she slipped the ring on. It glowed for a few seconds but then pain came from it searing itself onto Sakura's finger.

'Oh fuck. Whats going on? Orochimaru you lying bastard!' the pain had stopped along with the glowing. As if the ring was asking for forgiveness-it immediately cooled the burn mark.

"Sakura we don't have much time left before the scroll's power comes back into effect."

"Thanks for the heads up Inner. Do you have any idea what this ring is?"

"No not really. But I do know that it wont cause us anymore harm."

"Great. I have a mystery ring on my finger and I'm going back into a cat shortly. What could make this any worse?" Sakura grumbled to herself.

She gasped in pain as her transformation began again. It still felt weird, but Sakura knew that over time she wouldn't be able to notice her changes. When she finished, Sakura looked up. He acute hearing caught a noise from far away, then another sound coming closer.

Finally the two objects that made the slight noise appeared in front of her. They were five times bigger than her and covered in long black cloaks. She could barely make out blood red clouds on them. Something in Sakura's head clicked. Akatsuki.

"RUN RUN RUN YOU FOOL!!!!"

'Yes Ma'am!' Sakura darted off into the woods. Her mind was filled with panicked thoughts. She had no idea why the Akatsuki of all people would approach her- a cat. She must have something that they wanted. But she didn't have anything except...the ring.

'Dammit Orochimaru! You were trying to kill me!' Sakura growled as later ran into a tree. 'Shit.'

The Akatsuki caught up to her with ease. They stood around waiting for her to move again. Sakura gave up her chase as she sat back on her hind legs. She looked them over for a while and they did the same to her. Finally the bigger one of the two spoke.

"Hey Itachi, this is the thing that killed Orochimaru? A pink cat?" He sounded doubtful. Sakura ruffled her fur and growled at the bigger man. He backed away a step which made Sakura proud.

"It appears so Kisame. Nonetheless it is are mission to retrieve it." The smaller one spoke softly.

"Fine but I don't want to be the one to carry it back to the base." The bigger one grumbled and lunged for Sakura. She dodged easily and hissed at him.

"Get back here you damn cat!" Kisame yelled trying to kick Sakura as well. She dodged again but was grabbed by the loose skin of her neck by the older Uchiha.

"Can't you do anything right Hoshigaki?" Itachi sounded irritated at the fact that his partner couldn't catch a simple cat. Kisame grumbled something about the cat having lightning quick speed but got up from the ground anyway.

"So back to the base right Itachi?" Kisame hoped to get off the topic soon.

"Hn." The older Uchiha rearranged Sakura into his arms as he sped off to the tree tops to the Akatsuki's main base.

'What just happened here? Am I in the arms of Itachi Uchiha?! Why does he feel so warm and cozy? Oh god- I'm going to die.' Sakura's ears flattened.

Sooooooo? What do you think? I really don't know what to make up of my fighting scene (Or rather beat Kabuto and Orochimaru to a pulp before she kills them scene)-I think it could have been better but I just didn't know what to do after some parts. Oh and was it a little twisted? I thought the Kabuto katana thing was but I liked it so it stayed. Itachi is technically in this chapter ;] I just have to tease you guys. Chapter five will all be about the main couple...and some Akatsuki business. This weekend for sure chapter five will be out. If it isn't-you can all yell at me XD

Oh I forgot to tell you guys, Tenshi means princess, so Sasuke was calling 'Cat Sakura' princess the whole time. And just one more time when she left Orochimaru's hideout this chapter.

Review Review Review!!! Late reviews on any chapter is fine-they make me smile ;]

~Much Love, LadyMarrowind.
