Sorry I haven't updated in a while...I caught a cold and then my grandpa had to get taken by the ambulance... Thanks to all who reviewed!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto...However...I do own my new laptop that my mom got me! I lurves you mom! Though...she probably wont read this! XD
"sigh...it's not fair..." I say to myself while sitting under a weeping willow tree, just a few feet from the lake. Shishou and my argument was still fresh in my mind. It's still hard for me to believe...
Flashback
"You sent him to WHAT?!?" I screamed at shishou.
"You heard me."
"How could she have sent him on that mission-"
"How could you?!?" '
"-without us?!?!?!?!"
"You know I wanted to help out in the retrieval! Do you really still think so little of me...?" I asked. I was hurt, could she still of thought so little of me?
"Sigh...Sakura, you know I know you're strong...and you know that I would have sent you with him...It's just, you weren't here, we had no clue as to where you had gone off to, we had no way of finding you, it was like you had disappeared off of the face of the earth, and we needed to send someone before we lost his location! We couldn't just waist time going off to look for you, and Naruto said he would go without my consent if he had to wait any longer! What was I supposed to do, huh Sakura?! Was I supposed to send a team of shinobi to go off on a wild goose chase after you while I let one of this villages best ninja become an S-class criminal?" Shishou's desk was now mere splinters on the ground from when she punched it toward the end of her rant. But, she had that right, both to rant and to kill off her desk. What seemed like millions of papers were floating to the ground.
I looked at my feet, ashamed at my outburst. "Sorry, Shishou. I guess I have no right to get mad and scream at you, after all, you only did what you thought was right based off of the circumstances...I suppose I get out of your sight now." I knew I had been out of line...
"If you wish...Do you want me to keep your return a secret until Naruto get's back?" ...But I guess...Shishou understood why...just as she always does.
"Yes, if you don't mind...because I wan't him to be the first to know that I'm back..." I said before jumping out the window and running home to unpack.

'It's been three days since then, and Naruto hasn't shown up yet...I wonder what's taking him so long? Is he hurt...or worse...? NO! I can't think like that! I know he's OK! I just know it!'
'I think I'll go for a swim...to clear my head, It always works.' I run and flop into the lake, I can remember how I used to come here all the time when I needed to clear my head, and I would just think about how good it felt to glide through the water. Of coarse, that was before I found the void.
I spent about five minutes in the water before I remembered that I wasn't in the void, that I was I water, and that I couldn't breath in water. "Cough hack cough!" I gasped for air as soon as I broke surface. I'm really too used to being in the void!
I swam until I could only walk to shore and started walking back through the forest to the training grounds, still dripping wet. I figured I'd beat the crap out of a training dummy, just for fun.
I reached the training grounds.
Greeeeeeaaaaaaaaat, just what I wanted, memories of hatred and beatings running through my head. It's hard to imagine...that I'm a lie...or, my past is...
Flashback
SMACK!
Tears flowed from my eyes as I skidded to a stop in the dirt.
"You, you stay away from my child!"

'NO! I can't think about this! ...I will not think about this! ...I can't...think...about it...'
Flashback
"No, NO! PLEASE?! Please...don't... Please...HELP ME?!" I pleaded as I was dragged by my hair toward the village entrance. I knew it would do me no good, if the hateful smirks on the villagers faces were any indication. They knew I would die out there and that I would finally be one less danger...they were glad that they would be rid of me... I was thrown out of the gate and I watched as my village shut the gate...shut me out...left me to die...
End Flashback
I punched the dummy, over and over, until there was nothing left. I sank down to my knees, tears streaming down my face. 'I can't cry...I swore I wouldn't...never again...
"Sakura-chan?"
Soooooooooo...there's a little tiny glimpse into Sakura's past! My friends wonder how I can such a...what's the word...sadistic...? Yes, sadistic! They wonder how I can have such a sadistic mind when I act so innocent! What'd you think? I hope you liked it! Please review!
