The four girls had met up halfway and walked together to the training grounds.

Anko was there waiting, standing on the water.

"Sensei?"

"Good morning girls."

"Ah… Good morning."

"Tomorrow, we will be leaving. Your parents have already been informed. You will be leaving till the Chunin exams begin since you will participating."

They stared at her. "That's almost a year! Sensei!" Sakura cried out.

"We have to do this. You want to be the best right?"

They all nodded.

"Then we leave at 8."

Ino sighed. "I guess we go home and pack?"

"No! We still have an entire day! You will stop at 7."

They nodded and placed their water bottles by a tree.

"Alright, stretches!" She ordered. The four girls walked up their respective trees and began stretching. Anko watched with a smile. They learn fast. That will help when their traveling.

Anko sighed. She had to do this. For their sake, for the villages sake, and for her own sake. She needed them just as they now need her. She needs to let people in. what a way to do it by getting a team?

She began stretching also. They will be running today and she needed to be just as ready as them.

About ten minutes later she yelled for them to stop.

With muscles fully stretched and loosened, they formed a line.

"Alright ladies! Today is all about speed. Fast feet, fast thinkers, fast reactions. I've taken a few other fields since most of the other teams are taking the day off… and if not… oh well, I don't care. Anyways! You each have your own course. They are set to you and you only. Dodge whatever you can. Don't get hit."

They nodded. Hinata raised her hand.

"Yes Hinata?" Anko asked.

"What if the teams yell at us you know, for using their training grounds?"

"Well, you keep going. You should really only be in one training ground for a few seconds. If you get stuck, I triggered it to blow up."

"SENSEI!" They all yelled. She gave them a smile. "Well, you girls better get started!" The four groaned and took off in different directions.

Sakura ran through the trees. The markers were lined on the bottom first.

She squeaked as she jumped over a giant root. She flipped in the air and twisted her body as kunai's were thrown at her. Anko was trying to kill her!

She hit the ground and she landed in a hole. She jumped to the wall and grabbed the edge, scrambling up. She began running again. She saw the markers were leading up a tree. So she jumped on the wooden pegs and jumped into the thick trees.

Leaves hit her face. She took out a kunai as they began to get thicker and began chopping as they got in the distance.

She ducked down as a wooden plank was swinging where she had been. She twisted around and back bended as spears shot over. Good thing she was observant. She placed her foot down and spun. She smiled as she danced her way around everything and into a clearing.

She flipped down on the training grounds. It was team 7's. they were standing there looking confused.

"OH SHIT!" She yelled. They were standing on the bombs. She needed to go. Now!

She ran past them but Sasuke grabbed her as she flew by. "What are you doing here?" He hissed. "Im speed training and your on my bomb so I'd move." She said coolly. She pushed him of and leaped as kunai's and shurikens filled the grounds. Team 7 jumped out of the way. She ran through them.

"Sakura! What are you doing?" Kakashi yelled. He wasn't her teacher anymore. She ran straight through, on kunai embedding itself in her arm. Naruto and Sasuke chased her but she picked up speed as she went, pulling the kunai out and kept running, blood dripping from the wound.

They tried to keep up but they couldn't and lost her in the obstacles.

Tenten jumped into the trees. Her markers started at the top of the tree line.

Tenten jumped over and under the ropes. The dodge the giant spikes. And blocked kunai's. She panted. This was hard! She had to be strong, so she kept running.

She jumped down when the markers said to. As her feet hit the ground she took off running. One way to get the morning started.

She jumped over the logs that sprung up before her.

She twisted around and spun. It was more like a dance. Then it hit her. Everything they were doing, there had been dancing! The boulders yesterday, to help them keep their arms up.

She began dancing and found she moved through the obsacles faster. She moved and danced.

She spun into the clearing, straight into Neji's chest. "What?" She tilted her head. He blinked. "Tenten?"

"Oh crap." She stopped moving. She jumped over as the ground exploded. She jumped on the flying rocks and spun, flipping and twirling. Team Gai couldn't take their eyes off her. "TENTENS YOUTH HAS RETURNED!" Gai yelled, then she dropped down and ran into the forest, the team trying to keep up.

Hinata jumped on to roots and spun to the next. Spinning was fun. Plus it helped, she moved past the threating obstacles faster. Anko was crazy with her training but it was effective.

She jumped in the low branches when the markers moved. She twirled around the tree and hugged it as a spear flew by.

She jumped and kept going. She was getting the hang of this! Soon she moved even faster with more ease. She could see an opening up ahead. She smiled and ran faster. An unexpected trap caused her to fall.

She fell into the clearing in a tumbled heap. On top of something soft. She blinked. She was on Akamaru.

"Ah!" She frowned and stood up.

The ground began rumbling. She groaned. She jumped up and began running across the field. It blew when she made it in the trees. She didn't even bother looking back, she knew they were following her so she went through the obsacles as fast as she could.

Ino smiled at herself as she jumped over the spikes. She slid under the low branches and rolled under the swinging logs. It was like a game. She fleeted past everything. She was really good at this. She danced and spun through most of it.

She ran to the open field and frowned. Her old team was standing there. She took a step back.

"Ino!" Asuma said smiling at her. She glared. "Im here for training."

"We don't train people who arnt in our team." He said.

She laughed. "No, my training. OH SHIT!" She yelled, remembering what happened if she didn't move. She jumped expecting the ground to burst but instead weapons came at them all.

They moved into the trees and she darted through it, getting sliced on the shoulder.

She heard them trying to follow her as she ran back to the trees.

They all broke back into the grounds at the same time.

They panted and fell on their knees.

Anko smiled. "Good job girls. You only wasted about 10 minutes."

The other teams followed. "Anko! This is dangerous!" Kakashi yelled at her. She gave him a cynical smile. "Im sorry? Is one of these girls yours? No? Yea that's right. She left because she wanted to be trained. Training hurts."

"But Anko-san! This can hurt them! Look! Ino-san and Sakura-san are bleeding!" Asuma said.

The two girls rolled their eyes. "I cant really feel it, can you Ino-chan?"

"Nah, im fine Sakura-chan!" Anko smiled. "See? Nothings to serious! Besides after today, we wont be here. So don't get your panties in a bunch." She said rolling her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Neji said. Sasuke's grazed over Sakura, conceling his worry.

"Were leaving till the Chunin exams." Tenten replied.

"What?" Naruto and Kiba yelled.

The four girls smiled.

"Ok girls, get a drink, talk with these…people. The other teachers and I are going to talk."

The four girls walked over to their water bottles and took a long gulp and began chatting.

The eight boys walked over awkwardly. "So, we wont see you anymore?" Choji mumbled. They sighed and nodded. Naruto threw himself on Hinata. "But you cant leave!" He said.

Hinata blushed deep red and gently pried him off. "We are going to train. Its not like it's a vacation."

"Well. It's a vacation from them." Ino said, putting a finger on her chin. Sakura laughed and agreed.

Sasuke stared at her. Was she sick? She wasn't the Sakura he knew.

"You've changed." He blurted out, still looking at Sakura.

They all stared at him. "Excuse me?"

"You've…changed." He mumbled.

She laughed coldly. "Sorry Sasuke if im not the girl who threw herself at you. A few days ago, even before I left team 7 I realized, why should I throw myself at someone who will never love me back?" She hissed.

Sasuke looked away.

Ino laughed. Shikamaru frowned. "Your just as different, you would be hugging Sasuke right now."

She smiled cynically. "Why should I? It ruined my friendship with Forehead-Chan here, so, we talked and were all friends."

Shikamaru sighed.

Anko walked over. "Well, since don't feel like getting yelled at, im releasing you girls early, and you can go pack. I will see you tomorrow."

"Ill walk you home!" Naruto proclaimed to Hinata. She just blushed slightly and started walking. "Ja ne!" She called, waving, with Naruto following.

Neji gave Tenten 'The look' Saying he would walk her. She nodded and waved to her friends before leaving. Kiba and Shino departed, with Lee in tow.

Ino smiled at Sakura and bid her good bye, leaving with Choji and Shikamaru.

Sakura sighed, and began walking.

She didn't notice for awhile, that Sasuke was following her. She stopped, and he stopped beside her. "Sakura." He said. She raised an eyebrow.

"Really Sasuke? Now you walk me home!" She huffed, and turned away, storming away from him.

Sasuke followed. "Sakura! Wait!" He called. She walked faster. He ran and grabbed her arm. "Im sorry for being that mean Sakura." He said quietly. She yanked her arm from his grip. "Its to late Uchiha."

She began walking home, leaving him.

All four girls packed everything they had, and were ready to leave everything the used to.
