Sakura

Sakura made her way through the corridors, stopping in front of large a oak doors. She opened the oak door, slowly stepping in and glancing around the room,

her eye's landed on the back of a chair. Sakura meekly walked over to the front of the desk before bowing and sitting down on one of the chairs.

The chair turned revealing the hokage, sighing Tsunade placed her hands together with her elbows on the desk, she put her chin on her clasped hands. Sakura noticing her

sensei's serious look in her eye's, started twiddling her thumbs much like Hinata. Sighing Tsunade opened her mouth to tell Sakura somthing that could change her life

or would not change her life.

Sasuke's P.O.V

As I waited for my ramen to be done I heard some giggling and saw a blushing dark haired boy with onxy eyes like mine standing next to a giggling blonde haired girl

who's arm was latched aroung the boys arm, was with shooting glances at Naruto. Raising a eyebrow I couldn't help but be curious, my thoughts were soon cut off by a shy voice.

Glancing up I stared at the same girl, I noticed her glance to the left and then right before she handed me a note and ran off to the kitchen. Raising a eyebrow I picked up

the paper and began to read it.

Dear Romeo,

I noticed you but i'm not sure you noticed me and i was wondering if you wanted to come over to my place later and help me..with my homework. 0

Love

Mimi.

"OMFGBBQ!" My inner self shouted his eyes wide as mine O.O

My eye started to twitch as well as my hands, "wth..tch fangirls.." I sweat dropped as I got a closer look at the girl who gave me the note.

She had dark brown hair aswell as dark brown eyes. I noticed that she looked exactly like how Konohamaru looked when he first used the Harem No Jutsu.

"AH! MY EYES MAKE IT STOP, I PROMISE I WON'T PEEP AT THE WOMAN AT THE BATH HOUSE ANYMORE!" My inner self cried with his arms up in the air.

"you know your just as big of a pervert as that hermit..wth..how could you even peep at the woman in the bath house when your in my mind!" I questioned him while I crumpled the paper up into a ball and shot it into the nearest garbage can.

"Well.. you see I somtimes visit my friend who happens to be in that hermits mind..ya so we sorta erm..watch erm I mean help him with his research O.o" My inner self stated

Sighing I ignored my inner self and started eating my ramen, soon after Naruto and Hinata left. A couple of minutes after they left the blond and dark haired boy I saw earlier came in seating themselves a stool away from me.

" Hey isn't that Ino and that guy who looks like me?..you?.. us ya us, what was his name..? Sai ya Sai. My my Ino sure has grown fine look at that ches-" My inner self started, but was cut off by me.

"is that all you think of why don't you go visit that hermit and help him with his research or somthing before you give me a nose bleed with your dirty thoughts" I growled to my inner self.

"hm..lets see the times..O.o.. yep better hurry the hermits on his way to the bath house he's expecting me. well cya JA NE, and if you see Sakura tell her that she's grown fine in the ches-" My inner self started again before I cut him off.

"Why don't you just leave okay?" I told him while holding my finger under my nose causing people to give me strange looks, grumbling I went back to my ramen.

"hmph, fine I see I'm not wanted here! GOOD BYE!" My inner self shouted angrily.

Smirking I continued with my ramen until i heard Ino start talking.

Normal P.O.V

"Aren't they cute together Sai-kun?" Ino stated happily.

Sai just smiled but this time I noticed it wasn't like the smile he had when I met him it was real. Ino smiled then continued.

"I remeber when Naruto asked Hinata to be go out, took him 3 years to find out she loved him heh, Neji looked like he was gonna kill Naruto.Ne..Sai-kun remember when you asked me?" Ino asked staring at him with her blue eyes.

"Ya I remember Ino-chan..." Sai stated his smile slowly faltering.

"Ne..Sai-kun whats wrong?" Ino asked worry evident in her eyes, sighing Sai looked at her with a sad smile.

"Its just..nothing..I'm not feeling all to well" Sai answered

"o-okay.." Ino looked down sadly wondering what he was keeping from her.

"Ino-chan...I'll tell you at dinner tonight" Sai stated, Sai lifted her chin up causing her to look into his eyes. Smiling her gave her a peck on the lips before putting money down for the ramen and taking Ino and leaving aroung the corner.

Sasuke's P.O.V

"ah...So Ino and Sai are together and Naruto and Hinata.." I thought, waiting for a smart remark from my inner self getting no response I decided he went to peep on woman at the bath house with the hermits inner self.

Sighing I put money down for the ramen and got up to leave but I felt somthing grab on to the sleeve of my shirt. Looking over I saw the same girl who gave me the note. Sweatdropping I took her chubby hand off my sleeve. Giving her a questioning glance she started to talk.

"erm..S-so..are you g-gonna..help me with my..h-omework? She questioned her face red from blushing. My eyes went wide, and I quickly took a step away from her.

"HELL NO" I shouted running out leaving her in tears. "So much for not attracting attention.." Sighing and rubbing my temples I decided to walk around the village.

Sakura's P.O.V

I nervously glanced at Tsunade-sensei waiting for her to start. As she opened her mouth to start I felt myself hold my breathe.

"Sakura, I was looking through some of the folders of the rookie nine and..when I looked at your folder i found out that...those weren't your real parents." Tsunade-sensei stated calmy before getting up and going to a pile of papers and pulling one out and sitting back down in her seat.

"Tsunade-sensei, I..they..weren't my parents..I knew that all along..My real parents..my real father was killed..by me..My clan..was killed by me.." I looked down my eyes started to sting from tears.

I noticed Sensei's eyes widen and she opened her mouth to say somthing, but I continued.

"I killed him..I killed everyone..it was because the clan knew I was a danger to them since I was able to control all 4 elements..They wanted me dead...The Elementalist clans bloodline limit...As I am one of those people from that clan..I can control water,earth,fire, and wind" I stated without looking up. My tears hit my clentched hands that were on my lap.

Tsunade looked at me telling me to go on. wiping my tears which were only replaced by more I continued. The clan..My mother and father..were the clan leaders..It started when i was 5 I overheard them in the council room..

Sakura's storey..

A Five year old Sakura ran down the the dust roads of her village. Giggling alittle she hid in the clans council room which was located in the heart of the village. Glancing around she spotted a large pot to hide in. Runing over she got in the pot and put the lid on keeping a small slit to see. Voices of children could be heard.

"Huff..Did you...Huff.. Find her huff?" A girl with brown hair asked

"Huff..no..huff she was..Huff..always good at tag..Huff." A Black hair boy answered

" Well lets..huff..look around..huff..the..huff..park" The same brown haired girl stated, The black haired boy nodded and both of them ran off in the direction of the park.

Five year old Sakura giggled but quieted down as she heard voices. She quickly recognized the first two who walked in as her mother and father. Her mother had pale skin and waist length pink hair with gray eyes. Her father had tanned dark brown hair and emerald eyes.

Both of them walked over to the chairs at the front and sat down. Slowly the room was filled in with many of the villagers. Sakura carfully hid her chakra, Her father stood getting everyones attention.

As you all know we are here because of Sakura's power which dangers the whole village.." Her father spoke emotionally. Sakura eyes went wide, she glance at her mother who held the same emotionless face her father held. Her mother stood as well, getting all the people to look at her.

"We have had these meetings since last year..and soon her bloodline limit will activate before then we must eliminate her..for the safty of our village.." Her mother spoke her voice unwavering. People who were in the audiencee nodded in agreement. Many of the people she recognized, her uncle, aunt, it seemed all of her relatives were here. She then noticed that her best friend Kari was also there, as well as her other friends. Her father raised his hand to silence them.

"As many of you know we will prepare today and when 12 strikes we will go into action" he stated.

Everyone nodded soon after everyone left in a cloud of smoke. Five year Sakura soon got out of the pot her chubby cheeks stained with tears, fresh tears still falling.

Slowly getting up off her knee's Sakura made a few hand seals and disappeared in a cloud of smoke and reappeared in her room. Sakura made her way to her closet opening it and pulled out a backpack. She threw it on her bed and started putting clothes into it and any other supplies she would need. She walked over to her bed and went on her knee's and pulled out a bag of ninja equipment and stuffed it into the bag. Sakura walkd to her door looking back and forth before running to the kitchen while concealing her chakra. Grabbing some food she started her way back to her bedroom. As she walked past her parents room she heard voices.

Putting her ear against the door she listened carfully.

"Ne..do you..do you think this is right..?" It was her mother's voice

"Yes, for the protection of the village, even if it does mean killing our daughter..no.. she can't be our daughter..she's a monster..we will protect the village" She heard her father answer angrily.

"I'll be right behind you.." It was her mothers voice again.

Sakura who couldn't take it any longer quickly walked to her room careful not to make any noise.

Quickly putting everything into her bagshe looked outside her window. It was a full moon, as she glanced at her clock her eyes widened, it was 11:30pm. She felt her heart beat quicken. As she put the bag over her shoulders she bolted to the window. Just as she got outside she jumped and hid behind a rock as her bedroom wall was blasted bits of concrete flew everywhere. Realizing her parents had heard her opening her window they came. She quickly got up and concentrated chakra to her feet and started jumping roof to roof. She noticed that all the lights were off and it was unusally silent. She realized that thee whole village was in this. Quickly brushing away tears she quickened her pace as she saw the village gates.

She jumped off the roff and landed infront of the village gates. Checking her watch it was 5 minutes before twelve. 5 minutes till her birthday, 5 mnutes till the attake. She never thought of it but in five minutes she would be 6 years old. Just as she raised her hand to unlatch the gate a kunai hit it causing her to bring back her hand. Quickly turning around she was met with the gazes of her parents, friends, and family. Her father and mother came up to the front.

"SAKURA CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS FOR THE VILLAGE!" Her father shouted his eyes turning pitch black and soon in the center white appeared and 3 circles surrounding it.

Soon everyone had eyes like her father, Sakura gasped when she saw her father take out his sword. Soon Sakura's alarm on her clock started beeping. Glancing at her watch she noticed it was 12am. Looking up with fearful eyes she saw everyone take out there weapons. Soon the clouds around the moon parted, lighting up the village. As Sakura looked back at her father she saw that he was gone. Glancing around she felt chakra from the left turning she felt a blade rip though her left should. Feeling the blade come out of her shoulder she looked up to see her father jump back to stand beside her mother. Sakura's tears hit the dirt ground of the village, tears stains on her cheeks. Her eyes stung from crying and here head was throbbing.

Putting her small hand on the wound Sakura jumped back, putting more distance between her and her parents. Her father went into fighting stance the sword reflecting the moonlight.

"Sakura honey..don't make this any harder for us.." Her mother stated glaring at her daughter. Sakura felt anger boil inside of her, like they care for her. Closing her eyes she took in a deep breathe, and stood up. Sakura opened her mouth to shout but she heard a voice in her head.("Inner Sakura" is like this for the story)

"Ne..It hurts doesn't it?" The voice whispered softly.

"who..who are you?" Sakura questioned back.

"I'm your inner self..Want my help since you activated your bloodline limit I was able to finally talk to you" her inner self answered

"do..do the other villagers have a inner self also?" Sakura questioned.

"No..only you do i was created to help you be able to control the four elements you have your father knew you were strongest person in the village making you the prodigy..the other villagers didn't like it since you could easily destroy thgem so they decided toget rid of you when you don't have you bloodline limit activated" her inner self answered

"oh..will..will you.. will you help me fight them.?" Sakura questioned fearfully.

"I will but i'll need to control your body for that time" her inner self stated

"hai!" Sakura answered. Sakura soon felt herself lose control over her body. Sakura's head lowered causing her bangs to cover her face.

Sakura's father who noticed Sakura's head was bowed narrowed his eyes. Putting his sword back he started doing hand seals to activate his elemental power of fire. Everyone jumped back putting distance between them and Sakura's father. Sakura's father hand curled into a fist, bringing his fist back he punched forward causing fire to shoot out of his fist. The fire hit where Sakura was, soon smoke rised bluring Sakura's image. Everyone put there weapons away and deactivated there bloodline limit. Soon after that fire shot from where Sakura was once standing.

Sakura's father grabbed her mother and jumped to the side away from the villagers. Looking back he saw they were all dead only a few remained. Everyone looked up to where the fire had come from to see Sakura. Expect this Sakura had her eye's just like her fathers, and inner Sakura was written on her head. Gritting his teeth Sakura's father shouted orders to the last few people.

"She activated her bloodline limit! Her inner self is in control of her body! quickly attake all at once!" Her father shouted.

They all nodded, do hand seals to activate there bloodline limits. Water, fire, wind, and peices of earth and rubble flew as they hit the target only to find out it was a clone. Sonn screams of agony filled the air as each of them were slashed. As the bodies fell there stood Sakura in the center a bloodied sword in her hand, her back turned to her parents. Growling Sakura's father brought his had to his sword only to find it gone. Hearing a childish voice he looked over to where Sakura was, her back still turned.

"Ne, Otou-san looking for this..?" Sakura questioned raising the sword, causing moonlight to reflect off it. Growling Sakura's father threw kunai's with explosion note on them. Dodging each of the notes Sakura ran towards her father. Raising the sword she slashed it down, blood splashed on her face, a scream echoed through the deserted streets. Opening his eyes Sakura's father felt somthing on his lap. Looking down his eye's widened at the sight of his wife with a sword through her heart. Growling he punched forward, hitting Sakura square in the face. Hitting the brick wall Sakura got up, wiping the blood from the side of her mouth. Sakura's father stood up his clothes bloodied.

"SAKURA!you killed your own mother!You monster!" Her father shouted anger in his eyes.

Chuckling Sakura looked up her head tilting to the side. The moon shined on her face, revealing Sakura who had a smirk on her face aswell as a bluish bruish that was starting to appeare.

"Ne, Otou-san weren't you doing the same thing? trying to kill me, aren't you a monster aswell?" Sakura spoke chuckling while she spoke.

Growling he ran up to Sakura bringing his fist back he punched her. Sakura's head turned but she still stood in the same spot. Chuckling she concentrated on the wind and blew her father back. As Sakura's father flew back she brought her hand flat on the ground and concentrated chakra into the ground. Just as her father was about to slam into the ground a wall of rock came up causing him to slam into it. A blood stain was left on the rock, chuckling Sakura started to walk over to the rock wall. Her father weakly got up and jumped away from here watching her movement. Smirking Sakura tilted her head over so she was staring at her father. Sakura brought her hand up and turned it to the direction her father was in. Narrowing his eyes at her movement he went into defensive stance.

Sakura put her hand into a fist, and quickly glance over to where here father was. The ground started shaking and then water broke through going aroung Sakura's fathers body leaving only his head up. Smirking she walked over to where he was, bringing the sword up she stabbed it through his left shoulder. Sakura's father shouted out in agony as the sword was pulled out again. Lifting the sword up she wiped some of the blood off. Chuckling darkly she grinned at him amusment flash through her eyes. She leaned over to his ear,

"Just think of it as a gift.." She whispered in his ear. Grinning she looked up into his horror stricken face before she brought her hand up infront of her. Putting it into a fist she turned it, and whispered "Goodbye Otou-san". A scream of pain and agony went through the empty village. She unfisted her hand and left the dead body of her father.

Sakura felt wet liquid on her face bringing her hand up she brushed her finger against her cheek opening her eyes she saw blood on her hand. Eye's widening she looked around, she saw dead bodies, her father's, mother's, friends, family..her clan's dead bodies. Bringing her arms up she hugged herself falling to the ground, tears falling down her cheeks.

"I..I..I did this...!" She whispered to herself, standing up she ran over to her bag and put it over her shoulders and she neared the village gates she saw to blured shadows running towards the gates. Collapsing on her knees she hit the ground, the last words she heard were"We'll meet again Sakura"

Next day

Feeling warmth around her Sakura snuggled closer to the blanket. A few minutes passed before her eyes shot open. Jumping up on the bed she looked around. There were a few toys scattered around. She guessed she was in a childs room, her eyes traveled around the room before the stopped on a picture of a woman who had light brown hair and dark purple eyes. She quickly looked around but stopped when she looked out the window. Outside she saw sand, Sand particals flew along with the wind.As she brought her hand to her thigh she found no puch glancing around she foun that her things weren't here. Eyes widening she looked at what she was wearing, she was wearing a black shirt with cherryblossom inprints on it and black sweatpants. She thought back to what happened yesterday, eye's widening she fell on her knee's.(she was standing on the bed before)She brought one hand up and clutched here shirt at the place where her heart was, and with the other she brought her hand up clutching her head.

She felt her head throbbing, her eyes stung she bet they were already red. Tears started to leak out of her eye staining her cheeks and making spots on the blanket. Screaming out in pain and agony she continued to sob. The door flew open, and she felt someone run beside her. She heard a childs voice.

"Yashamaru!" The voice shouted. He was a boy from what she could tell.

She heard hurried footsteps comming closer to the door. Soon the door opened, and a man walked in, he had dark purple eyes and blonde hair. She guessed he was probably the lady who was in the pictures sibling. Sakura continued to sob her fist clentched harder on her shirt.Soon she felt warmth incase her. Looking up she saw the man she suspected to be Yashamaru, arms drapped around her small form. Soon her sobs turned into small hics.

Loooking up she saw the man smile warmly at her, she looked over at the boy who was standing by the door now. The man started to speak soon.

"ah..I see you've woken up" the man stated while smiling, he continued.

"I'm Yashamaru, and this is Gaara" Yashamaru said while walking Gaara over to the bedside.

"I'm..hic..Sa-Sakura..hic" I spoke quietly. Grinning Yashamaru spoke.

"How about you two talk while I get you somthing to eat and we'll talk about how you got here later" He spoke. Standing up Yashamaru left out the dorr, leaving Gaara and Sakura. Gaara looked at Sakura noticing a few tears sliding down her cheak he brushed them away with his thumb but quickly pull his hand away when she looked at him. Sakura got a closer look at him, He had red hair, and emerald eye's that showed his lonliness which had black rings around them she guessed he couldn't sleep, and he had pale skin. Smiling softly Sakura giggled at how shy he seemed to be. As Gaara heard giggling he glanced over at Sakura who was giggling.

"Y-Your not scared of me..you don't hate me..?" Gaara questioned, lowering his head with his eyes closed, he waited for her to call him a monster. Frowning Sakura put a finger under his chin and made him look up. Gaara slowly opened his eyes and look into emerald eyes, his face turned red when he noticed how close they were.

"Why would i hate you Gaara-kun?" Sakura questioned.

Gaara's eye's widened a smile made its way to his face, soon after the door opened and in came Yashamaru. Yashamaru froze he came into see a odd sight, a blushing Gaara and a smiling Sakura faces inchs away. Grinning ear to ear he walked over with the tray that had, bread, juice, and apple slices. Gaara turned away to hide his red face.

"okay i'll come back later to take the tray, and you two love birds don't mind if i pop in later to check up on you?" Yashamaru said grinning. Gaara's face turned redder than how red it was if that was possible. Sakura who had been eating her bread choked and quickly drank the juice. Yashamaru quickly walked out of the room and down the hall laughing. Sighing Gaara turned around only to see Sakura finish her apple slice, as he continued to star at her he felt blush creep to his face. Raising an eyebrow Sakura gave Gaara a questioning glance. Suddenly the door opened and Yashamaru walked in with 2 other people.

"Sakura, I think its time we tell you what happened" Yashamaru spoke. Getting 3 chairs Yashamaru and the 2 others sat down, while Gaara sat on the ledge of the bed. The man spoke first.

"Sakura..I am Hintaro Haruno and this is my wife Hinkari Haruno" Hintaro stated. Sakura looked at him, he had tanned skin and black hair with blue eyes. The woman beside him had pale skin and waist length brown hair with brown eyes. Sakura nodded, Hintaro taking this as response to continue he spoke.

" We were on our way back from a mission and on the way we heard screams..so we went in the direction of the screams only to find everyone dead.. we saw you pass out from the village gate.." Hintaro stated. Sakura's eye's widened she killed everyone. She felt tears prick her eyes, soon tears started to fall. Hinkari ade her way to Sakura and gave her a motherly hug somthing she never got from her mother. Gaara watched in saddness, he brought his hand up and fisted his shirt the same spot where hi heart was. Yashamaru noticing this nodded to the 2 Haruno's and took Gaara out of the room.

" We..were wondering if you knew what happened.." Hinkari questioned staring into Sakura's emerald eyes. Sakura glance at Hinkari then Hintaro. She opened her mouth to speak, and tell her storey.

"My parents..my clan..they were going to kill me.." Sakura stated bowing her head sobbing uncontrolably. Hinkari gasped in shock while Hintaro looked a Sakura in sarrow. Sakura breathed in deeply before speaking again.

"I..I..killed them..they hated me always because of my power..she..took control of me and killed them..I don't regret it..they were going to kill me because i was the prodigy.. i was stronger too strong for there liking.."Sakura whispered. Sakura hugged Hinkari and continued sobbing making Hinkari's shirt damp. Hinkari slowly put her arms around Sakura and hugged her. Hintaro who stared suprised that a small child no older than six had killed the whole clan. Looking a Hinkari he nodded and stood walking over to Sakura.

"Sakura do you want to forget..forget the pain?" Hintaro questioned unsurely. Sakura lifted her head staring into Hintaro's eyes before nodding. Nodding Hinkari stood up and walked beside her husband. Soon Hintaro started doing hand seals, his hand started to glow a red color. He brough his hand and placed it on Sakura's head muttering a few words he concentrated chakra to his hand. Sakura's eye's rolled back and she collapsed. Hinkari caught her and placed her on the bed tucking her in a placing a kiss on her forehead. Walking out of the room they made there way to the living room to tell Yashamaru what had happened.two hours later of planning everything was decided. Gaara who was listening the whole time from his room fell to his knee's. Sakura..she was in more pain then him...he always thought he was the only one in pain. Gaara heard footsteps and he quickly scrambled to his feet. The door opened revealing Yashamaru and Hinkari, and Hintaro.

"Gaara-sama were going to see Sakura do you want to come?" Yashamaru questioned. Gaara nodded and followed him out of the room soon they all stopped infront of Sakura's room. Opening the door they found Sakura sitting up right in bed, tears at the corner of her eyes. Hinkari came over and embraced sakura while Hintaro leaned against the wall, Yashamaru and Gaara stood by the door. Sakura started to speak.

"Y-You said I would forget.." Sakura whispered clenching the bed sheets. Smiling Hinkari brushed the tears away from Sakura's eyes and spoke.

" The jutsu will activate in the afternoon at 3pm.We'll be gone by the afternoon..we'll be going to the hidden leaf village..we'll be your parents well if you'll accept us to be." Hinkari stated unsurely. Sakura's eye's brightened and she hugged Hinkari tightly afraid she would disappear.

"yes..I want you as my parents..I want parents..I want a mother who would hug me not be afraid of me..a father that loves me and doesn't hate me" Sakura whispered smiling softly. Nodding Hinkari smiled at Hintaro, before Yashamaru spoke.

"Sakura why don't you go with Gaara and look around the village, while me and your parents go talk things over with the Kazekage" Yashamaru spoke. Sakura frowned and her eyebrows crinkled, this made Gaara's heart clench, she hated him, she was lying, Gaara could feel anger boil up but soon Sakura spoke.

"Ne..don't I injuries?" Sakura questioned.

"I healed them for you i'm a medic nin ya know" Hinkari stated sticking her tonge out playfully. Sakura nodded, and Yashamaru and her "parents" left with him to the kazekage.

" Ne..lets go" Sakura shouted happily as she hopped off the bed grabbing Gaara's hand and bolting out the door. As they both walked around Sakura noticed many people would give Gaara fearful glances, angry glares, hateful looks, and so on. Sakura frowned and shot each of them a glare which to Gaara looked like she was pouting which caused him to blush. As they made there way to a swing they saw a few kids playing soccer. Sakura grinned, while gaara watched wondering what it would be like if he had friends, if he wasn't hated.

"Ne, Gaara-kun i'm gonna go get us some ice cream, what ya want?" Sakura questioned smiling happily.

"I'll have strawberry" He whispered while blushing

"Hey I like strawberry to!" Sakur stated giggling, which caused Gaara to blush more.

"Ne, Gaara-kun are you sick, your all red." Sakura questioned innocently as she placed her hand on his forehead, Gaara shook his head.

"Well, if you say so be right back Gaara-kun!" Sakura shouted while running in the direction of the ice cream stand.

Gaara turned back to the kids only to find there soccer ball was stuck on a cliff. Making his sand go up he brought it towards him until it was in his hands. The kids turned around eye's widening in terror. Then a a boy spoke.

"You're.." he spoke.

"Here..." Gaara said softly lifting the soccer ball up.

"It's Gaara" a girl spoke.

"Gaara Of The Sand" the same boy spoke.

"RUN!" they all shouted and darted in the opposite direction of Gaara. Gaara's eye's widened in shock, did they fear him that much, hate him that much.

"Wait!Don't leave me alone!" Gaara shout raising his hand up his other hand still holding the soccer ball tightly. His sand darted after them grabbing 2 of them.

"Help!" both the girl and boy screamed in unison while clawing onto the sand but it didn't help, Gaara's sand still dragged them.

"I...don't want to be alone anymore." Gaara thought, his eye's widening, the sand clentched tighter around the girls leg.

"No!" the girls screamed her eye's widening in fear and terror as she saw sand going towards her. Just as the sand was about to hit her he heard a girls scream...Sakura's scream.

"STOP!" Sakura screamed

Before With Sakura

Sakura walked over to the ice cream stand a smiled at the man. The man looked over at her and spoke.

"What would you like?" He questioned smiling.

"2 strawberrie ice creams please." Sakura stated politely.

"Isn't that alot for you?" The man questioned while handing her the ice creams.

"Nope, one is for my best friend Gaara-kun" Sakura said smiling while pulling out money.

"G-Gaara..there's no need to pay me anything..its free for you" the man stated eyes widening in fear as he looked around if Gaara was near by.

Sakura frowned but shrugged as she made her way over to Gaara, as she turned she saw a little child eating ice cream with his parents and laughing. Looking down Sakura started to walk back slowly. She heard a scream which caused her to look up only to see Gaara's sand latch onto a girls leg. Dropping the ice cream Sakura ran over to Gaara, she knew he wouldn't be able to see her with his back facing her.

"STOP!" She screamed tears falling and staining her cheeks once more.

NOW

Gaara's sand stopped falling to the ground, Sakura ran up to Gaara and hugged him from behind sobbing into the back of his shirt.

"Stop!" Sakura sobbed into the back of his shirt. Gaara turned his head so he could see her face, only to look into tear filled eyes.

"Please...stop..." Sakura whispered softly.

Gaara's sand fell off the girls legs and fell off the others, once they were free they ran the opposite direction. Gaara fell on his knee's he felt his eye's stinging with tears. Sakura move so she was infront of Gaara she lifted his chin up and kissed him. Gaara's eye's widened, but soon closed right now..the pain his heart didn't hurt as much. SAkura moved back and looked at the ground her cheeks a deep red with tear stains. Gaara looked up at Sakura his cheeks red and tear stains.

"The pain in my hurt doesn't seem to hurt as much as before.." Gaara whispered before looking at Sakura, Sakura smiled, a true smile.

"Gaara-kun, no matter what i'll always be there for you." Sakura whispered before giving him a peck on the cheek.

Blushing she ran and got the soccer ball, Gaara shot her a questioning look, confusion in his seafoam eyes.

"Game on?" Sakura stated while smirking. Gaara smiled before he got the ball from her and the game was on.

Afternoon

"Ne, Gaara-kun lets quickly go back home" Sakura stated with a warm smile sand and dirt on her clothes and face. Gaara grinned wiping some of the dirt from his face. Soon sand went around them and they disappeared, appearing infront of Gaara's home. Opening the door they went to Gaara's room, Sakura walked in first glancing around. She noticed Gaara open a wooden chest that was embroided in gold. Sakura walked towards Gaara and glanced over his shoulder, here eye's widened as she saw a cherryblossom charm with a gold chain. Gaara sand came up and started to write somthing on the back of the cherryblossom charm. Gaara soon turned around with a grin on his face.

" H-here..." Gaara stated his cheeks a deep red shade, he raised the necklace up. Sakura's eye's widened she took the necklace and turned it around to find what was written on the back.

To My little cherryblossom,

The pain doesn't hurt anymore now that your here with me

Sakura's cheeks turned red as she looked at Gaara tears falling from her eyes now, Gaara's eyes widened as he started to panick.

"Sakura I'm sorry if i did anything, what I do" Gaara stated panicking. Giggled Sakura gave him a kiss on the cheek before turning around moving here hair out of the way. Gaara shot her a questioning glance.

"I need help putting the necklace on" Sakura stated pouting cutely. Gaara laughed lightly before helping her put the necklace on. Sakura walked over to the mirror gasping at how it looks. But a frown changed the smile, soon her eye's brightened and she raced over to her bag that lay on the bed. Opening it and pulling out a book, flipping through a few pages she stopped and started reading the page. Gaara looked gave her a questioning glance, standing up Sakura walked over to Gaara.

"Ne..Gaara-kun..I have a present for you..but you need to clothes your eyes.." Sakura said smiling innocently.

"hai" Gaara said, closing his eyes. Sakura glanced at the book before she bit her thumb causing blood to come out. Raising her hand she used her thumb to write the kanji "love" on the left side of his forehad. Gaara felt curious he felt wet liquid on the left side of his forehead, he resisted the urge to open his eyes. Sakura grinned and started doing a few hand seals, her hand glowed pink. She brought her hand above the words written in blood and soon the blood writing was ingraved into his forhead.

"Ne..Gaara-kun you can open your eye's" Sakura spoke. Opening his eye's Gaara raised an eyebrow at Sakura who giggled and pointed towards the mirror. Making his way over to the mirror his eye's widened. He brought his hand to where his heart was is this what love felt like he asked himself. Brushing his hand against the mark he smiled, a true smile. Turning around he looked at the fidgeting Sakura. Walking over he hugged her before giving her a kiss on the cheek and taking a step back he spoke while staring at his mother's picture.

"Yashamaru said that if your heart hurts the only cure is love..he was right there is no pain in my heart." Gaara said his hand over his heart. Sakura's eye's widened before smiling back softly. Soon they heard Yashamaru and Sakura's "parents" voice's. Glancing at the clock Sakura's eye's widened she only had 5 minutes before 3pm. She grabbed Gaara's hand and dashed down the hall to the door where her parents stood. Hinkari and Hintaro smiled at Sakura, Yashamaru glanced at Gaara he noticed the kanji on his forhead and smiled.

" Okaa-san!Otou-san!" Sakura shouted tears at the corner of her eye's. Hinkari and Hintaro gave her questioning glances. Gaara felt his heart clentch at the sight of her crying, he walked over and hugged her. Yashamaru's eye's widened at Gaara's sudden act, but smiled softly.

"Sakura whats wrong?" Hintaro asked worridly, his wife stared worridly at Sakura.

"I--I..sniff...don't want to..forget..I don't want to forget Gaara-kun!" Sakura sobbed out. Gaara's tightened his hug around her as she clentched his shirt her head leaning on his shoulder.

"Sakura..the jutsu won't disappear till I..I die.." Hintaro stated looking down. Hinkari glance at the clock a minute before 3pm.

Sakura sobbed more, Gaara felt his heart was going to break at the sounds of her crying. Sonn Gaara felt Sakura's body go limp in his arms. Looking down he found her passed out. Gaara looked at the clock to find it had just turned 3. Sighing Hintaro put Sakura on his back her nodded towards Yashamaru, Hinkari bent down and ruffled Gaara's hair and gave him a kiss on his forhead and walked out the door. Sakura's eye's opened slightly and she spoke her last words to Gaara.

" Gaara..I love you..please..don't... forget... me.." Sakura whispered

Gaara's eye's went wide he looked and the retreating figures of Hintaro and Hinkari. Running out of the house he spoke his last words to Sakura before they left.

" Sakura! If you ever need me and i'm not there read the words on the back of the cherryblossom!" Gaara shouted tears pricking his eyes. Sakura smiled softly before giving him a smile. Hintaro felt Sakura go limp again in his arms. Sighing he looked over at Hinkari who smiled at him, as they took one last look at Suna before they left.

End Storey

Sakura's P.O.V

I saw Tsunade-sensei's eye's were wide after she heard my story. I could feel teardrops hit my balled up fists that were clentched in my lap. Tsunade-sensei got up from her seat and came around and hugged me. She was like a second mtoher to me. Tsunade-sensei walked back over to her seat.

"Sakura...I never knew.." she started staring at me I could tell she had cried there were tear stains on eaither side of her face.

"Tsunade-sensei..so..is that all you wanted to speak to me about.." I whispered still staring at my fists.

"No..you must have forgotten about your bloodline limit corret, meaning you don't know how to use it an-" she started but I cut her off.

"Ne..don't you remember when my father died the jutsu was broken meaning I remember, when it broke I started to work on it..I can control them all now.." I whispered smiling.

"I'm very proud of you Sakura..you've gotten far.." Sensei whispered

Smiling I nodded, Soon Shizune came in, with documents and placed them on the desk.

"Shizune do we have any sake?" Tsunade-sensei questioned

Shizune laughed as she went over to a cabinet. I glanced over to Tsunade-sensei who signaled to me i could go. Bowing I made my way to the door, glancing at my watch I sighed ,4:58pm.

"That took awhile, I'm gonna take a nice long bubble bath and then take nap" I mumbled, while put my hands through my pink tress's. Sighing I made my way home, careful not to bump into any fanboys.

Sasuke's P.O.V

As I made my way through the village I lots of the girls blushed as I passed by them.

"tch..more fangirls.." I grumbled under my breath.

As I walked past a park I heard some voices I recognized, turning my head I spotted Shikamaru and Temari in a field. Seemed to me Shikamaru was cloud watching and Temari joined him. As I got a closer look I noticed that the hands were clasped together and that Shikamaru's arm was used by Temari as a pillow.

"Oi Temari give me my arm back." Shikamaru drawled out

"Nope." Temari answered bluntly

"troublesome woman.."Shikamaru grumbled.

"well Shika-kun this troublesome woman happens to be your girlfriend" Temari answered smirking

"fine fine.."Shikamaru muttered.

Deciding I didn't need to see anymore I continued on my way. As i walked past the come come paradise shop I saw Kakashi walk out of it. Just as he walked out the he bumped into Shizune her medic nin books scattering the ground.

"Shizune-chan gomen" Kakashi said sincerily.

"eh,Its no problem Kakashi-kun" Shizune answered.

Kakashi put his come come paradise book in his jounin vest and he looked up at a flustered Shizune. Smiling he coughed a little to get her attention on him.

"Shizune-chan I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to this new resturant..as my date..?" Kakashi questioned, blushing well you couldn't really tell with the mask on.

"Of course I would love to come Kakshi-kun" Shizune answered giddily with a blush across her cheeks.

"pick you at 7, ja ne" Kakashi stated before disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Shizune quickly dart down the street muttering about what she should wear.

Sighing I looked back at the rode ahead of me. As I walked I spotted a grocery store. Making my way inside I walked into the vegetable area I stopped infront of the tomatoes and started take the ones that looked good. Glancing to the left I spotted Neji and Tenten, glancing down iI noticed Neji picking up sea weed, as I glanced at there hands I noticed rings on each one guessing they were married, raising an eyebrow I noticed Tenten's stomach was larger.

"Damn she's been eating alot" my inner self stated

"tch your back.. and no you idiot she's probably 5 months pregnet" I answered

"Hm, I knew you were always a woman, knowing this much about pregnet woman" My inner self shouted

"isn't it obvious she's pregnet." I countered back

"for a woman that is" My inner self stated

"I'm not even gonna other why don't you go back to the hermits mind and spare me" he grumbled.

"hell ya more peeping..erm..research! ja ne!" my inner self stated

Sighing I went back to getting tomatoes, thinking about how eveyone changed until my thoughts were intrupted my a voice.

"Ne, Neji-kun" Tenten spoke as she looked up at Neji tears at the corner of her eyes.

"Tenten-chan anything wrong?" Neji asked quickly grabbing both her hands.

"Neji-kun..sniff...I..want...tea..." she cried out as tears started to roll down her cheeks

"of course Tenten there's some here around the corner at that dango shop." Neji said while brushing her tears away and he planted a kiss on her lips.

"no..hic..not..hic..that..kind..hic.." Tenten sobbed

"what kind Tenten-chan?" Neji questioned as he embraced her

"The...hic..one..hic..from..the..Tea..hic..country..hic" Tenten sobbed.

"tea country Lee's there he'll be back in a week he said he'll be getting tea from there" Neji stated as he rubbed her back.

"No!now" She sobbed, she darted to outside the store.

"Tenten-chan! I'll get some now" Neji shouted as he quickly paid for the food and darted after her.

I sweatdropped, pregnet womans mood swings. Sighing I went over and got some rice before paying and leaveing the shop. Guess I'll be having Tomato filled rice balls. As I turned and walked into a ally I felt somthing hit my chest. Shrugging I just walked past until I felt a hand grab my should and turn me around.

"Hey!you jerk you could atleast have some respect and say sorry" the girl shouted. As the cloud parted from the sun I got a good look at the girls face. My eye's widened I felt my mouth go dry.

"SAKURA!look at that ass, that body damn, look at what we missed damn you Uchiha Sasuke,OMFGBBQ look at that chest!" My inner self shouted his eye's wide O.O

I suddenly I felt a nose bleed coming...
