Hello Everyone! I feel so *sniff* special *sniff*. So far, practically all my reviews have been simpasizing (SP?) with me over the death note delima!
I got my report card and it aint so good. Hey, I think it's perfect, by my stick up their asses parents think 3 B's (2 of which are B+'s) is absolutely horrible! Well, screw them!
(FYI, everything else were A's, yeah, parents suck)
Anyways, for kicks, I was comparing this story to my 1st story, The Demon Within. Exculiding this chapter, both currently had 6 chapters in them. This story had exactly 13,150 words, while the other only had 3,225! That's like, almost a 10,000 word difference! Man, I really sucked. Anyways, if you're looking for a good read, please do NOT read The Demon Within story. It trashes my rep as a writer. I would delete it, but like 1 or 2 people favorited it, and I know how it feels to have a story deleted from your favorites list 'cause the author thought it sucked...
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for not updating, even though it's summer I just got back from vaca with my grandparents, and I'm going to New Hampshire with my Dad and my wonderful "step family" for a week (In like, 2 days) and then my mom is picking me up from there to go to Massachusettes for ANOTHER week. And to top it all off. No internet access, nada. I don't know how I'll survive.
Anyways (again) thanks a big bunch to all the wonderful peoples who reviewed the last chapter.

RECAP
SAKURA'S POV
"Stop this broadcast NOW, and give me those god forsaken tapes!"
The man was shaking, obviously terrified out of his mind, if he had one at that. "I can't! You must have heard the tapes somehow! Kira will kill all of us if we don't play these to the-"
In a second, my hand had spun up and was held at the man's throat. I'd already formed a deadly chakra scallpe. People listened to reason better when they were deathly afraid. I lowered my voice and tried to sound as threatening as possible. "If you don't give me those tapes NOW, and you don't stop this f-ing broadcast NOW, you'll wish Kira had the mercy enough to kill you."
The man nodded and handed me the tapes. He began to run to a machine, but I stopped him.
"Which of these is playing the tape?" I asked, my voice still icy.
He pointed a pudgly ring covered finger to one old grey machine in the corner. I walked over to the infernal thing and simply shoved my fist all the way through it. I shot a final look at the man before turning to leave.
"Be careful who you side with. Kira would kill you without a second thought." I smirked. "Then again, I probably would too."
So I began my decent out of the wretched building, tapes in hand and a smug smile plastered on my lips.

Chapter #7
Home Sick
SAKURA'S POV
I finally made my way through the seemingly endless maze of fallen plaster and debrees. When I came to the long time smashed door, I felt my eyes widen. There had to be dozens, no, HUNDREDS of police officers suronding the building. Hige search lights blared from behind them, silougheting (SP?) everything. I had to cover my eyes to avoild the emmence glare.
"Sakura-chan!"
I looked up to see, well, sence cause I couldn't see his face,
Matsuda running towards me. He embraced me in a bone crushing hug,
obviously filled with relief.
"You're alive. You're really
alive!"
I sighed and patted his head like an obedient dog. God, did he think I was going to die?
Then again, I looked around at the blaring sirens, multitude of cars, and killer cops and decided that yes, it was pain stakingly obvious that they (As in the Task Force) all thought I was going to die, or atleast be mortally injured.
I grumbled in obvious annoyance. They all still thought I was a normal, pathetic girl.
Oh well.
I would have to change that.
--------------------------------------------------------------
After being swarmed by the task force for what felt like HOURS (But was only really 10 minutes) I was carted off in what I later learned was an Ambulence. The on hand "medics" wanted me to be strapped to a ghostly white stretcher and taken in emergeny care. They said I had quote "been severly injured and possibly traumatized for life".
My hand was pretty badly mauled due to my lack of gloves, but that could easilly be fixed with a little chakra. I had a few shards of metal wedged in my arm from when I punched the machine, but those were no worse than being hit with shuriken or kunai.
If you want my opinion on the traumatized thing (which the "medics" obviously did not), the guy from the studio needed ALOT more help than me. I think I might have scared him a wee bit TOO much.
They removed the metal shards at and excruciatingly slow pace. I mean, I could have just wedged my fingers into my skin and yanked it out in, like, 3 seconds. Okay, so, yeah, it'd probably hurt, alot, but, I was a ninja! I was trained to ignore the pain.
Not that they knew that.
Finally, L and came in and got me the Hell outta there! Well, in reality, they called to make sure I was alright and I told them that if they didn't come get me out of this Hell hole NOW, there would be Hell to pay. So, yeah. Atleast it worked.
I swear, the second I dragged those 2 out the door after me, I ripped off the damn cast those people put on my hand. I forced my wondorous medical chakra into life and healed my hand lickity split.
I flexed my fingers, testing the new skin and healed muscle. I heard a small crack as some disconected bones realined themselves, but I ignored it. I sighed and went for a full body stretch. I yawned, pulling my arms so hard they almost popped out of their sockets. Ahh... This felt so nice.
Then, I looked up.
was staring at me like I just performed a miracle.
"How did you- How did you..." stammered.
"How did I do what?" What did I do that was so unusual? Oh yeah. L must have "convienietly" forgotton to tell the task force about my healing chakra.
I turned to glare at him. He shrugged.
I gestured to L. "Ryuzaki-kun must have forgotton to tell you."
turned to L. "Tell me what Ryuzaki?"
"Sakura-chan can, well, can use what she calls 'chakra' to heal wounds."
"That's also how I so valiently brought down Sakura TV as well." I smirked, pumping my fist. Ryuzaki rolled his eyes. " Although, it does feel kinda odd, talking about the total and utter annilation of something sharing my name."
Ryuzaki shook his head in obvious annoyance. So, being me, I leaned forward and stuck my tongue out at him.
"Sakura-chan, you shouldn't act so childish."
"Oh yeah Ryuzaki-kun, why not?"
"It makes you look pathetic."
"Why you-" I was about to annilate him, when memories began to buzz to my brain. This was just like 99.9% of the arguements I'd had with Sai. (All though I'm pretty sure L had never called me Ugly.)
Then, memories of the new, improved Squad 7 (aka-minus Sasuke), began to tumble into my head all at once.
Naruto eating Ramen with me, Hinata, and Chouji.
All 4 of us lying around a campfire on a mission while Naruto and Kakashi-senpai faught over Icha-Icha Paradise and Sai painted amlessly.
Naruto and Kakashi-senpai holding me back from killing Sai.
Me sitting with Naruto and Sai, watching the sunset while Sai painted it.
When the group had taken me out to a sweet dango tea shop, and learned a life long lesson soon after.
All wonderful memories.
My eyes pricked and I slammed them shut to keep any tears from having a chance to escape.
"Heh, Sakura-chan!"
"Come on Ugly, stop daydreaming."
"Sakura-chan, wanna go out for some ramen?"
"Hey Dickless! I caught some kind of black duck!"
"I promise to bring teme back, if it's the last thing I do!"
"You'll be.. my friend?"
"We're part of one big familly, right Sakura-chan? So no matter what, we'll always be there for you, and never forget you!"
All of the memories, unforgotton treasures, now pulled their way to the surface. It hurt. The memories didn't bother me. I cherished those, but...
"Sakura-chan, are you alright?" L asked.
I nodded robotically and let them lead me to the black limo they'd driven in. I rested my head against the window pain once inside. The second i closed my eyes, memories flooded the black emptiness behind my lids.
I snapped my eyes open. Why were my wonderful memories, the ones I cherished more than my own sanity (which may or may not be intact), making me so sad? I'd have to think about it.
------------------------------LATER-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I'd thought about it. I'd thought about it for hours on end. Sitting alone in my room, I let the tears I'd tried so hard to hold in earlier, pool and leak out, running down my face in thin, clear lines. My final answer to my earlier delima...
I was what was hurting me.
After all the kind things my squad had said and done. After all the times they supported me and protected me. I hadn't thought of them once since I'd been here.
New tears gushed their way down my cheeks.
I hadn't thought about them even ONCE, until now. I didn't even know if they were still alive. No, they had to be alive. they HAD to be. Sure, L and the task force members were my friends. But Squad 7 and I, we were more than that. We were familly.
And I...
I had deserted them. Sure, the transport thing hadn't been my fault, but, I hadn't looked for a single way to return home once that had ended. I was a traitor. I'd all practically abandoned them. My closest friends.
Another sob escaped. I huddled up in a ball, hoping no one could hear me. I was awful.
And what about Konoha?
How could the village be fairing when one of their top fighters and medics was just... gone? Did they think I was a traitor? Did they think i was dead? Oh Naruto. If he was alive, which he HAD to be, welll, knowing him, he'd be looking non stope for me. Even though he could never find me. And, how would he take the news if they decided to leave me for dead? A lost cause? A runaway? Oh the pain I must be putting him through.
And Sai, oh Sai. I probably made up 50% of the people he cared about, who he was friends with. How would he take it?
What would Tsunade-sensai think? What about Kakashi-senpai?
We had been on a mission to capture Sasuke. All of them knew I had been infatuated with him.
What if they thought I'd run away with him?
What if they thought I was a traitor too?
Hey Sakura.
Inner?
Yeah.
I haven't seen you for a while.
Yeah, well, you haven't needed me.
I guess I haven't needed my friends eighther...
Oh shut up. You'll always need them.
...
Wait, I'm not making things any better, am I?
Nope.
Ok then.
Well?
Well what?
Why did you decide to pop into my skull at this moment?
Oh...
Well?
A) I was majorly bored, you have no idea how boring it is to just sit back and watch you live your life-
Get on with it.
Okay, okay.
Pushy much?
B) You look like you need ALOT of help and comfort
C)
I miss the guys too.
How can you miss them, you don't even exsist!
I am YOU girl. Remember that. Besides, I have to look through your eyes and feel what you feel. Because the conversaton led me to say that, let me say I am VERY happy you fell outta that "Sasuke-kun" faze. God, thatt was KILLLING me!
Okay...
Well...
Umm, what?
Aren't you going to try and get back home to Konoha now?
Of course! But... how can I....
Oh come on! I am you, which means you are also me, and I can do anything, remember?
Right...
Was that supposed to sound like sarcasm?
No, of course not.
Okay, now I KNOW that was sarcasm.
*sigh* Anyways, get on with it. So, how do I get outta here, in one peice?
Well, you could always go through your memories and analize the jutsu, or whatever it was, that sent you here, and then reverse it!
Good idea.
Hey, I was bound to have a good idea that you approved of eventually.
I smilled slightly to myself. Inner Sakura could always cheer me up, or bring me down. Her idea was actually pretty good. Tsunade-sensai had told me about it. She said reversing the structure of a jutsu takes extremely good chakra control. Perfect. The one thing I could do from my genin days that meant anything.
So, I closed my eyes and pictured the jutsu that sent me here.
The fuzziness in my brain.
My vision blanking out.
The black light.
The falling.
The crash.
I opened my eyes and almost screemed in agitation. I had absolutely NO idea what this jutsu was. I held my head in my hands and prepared myself for another wave of tears. But, they never came.
I felt Inner's tug on my mind, until my body went numb. My vision became hazy and suddenly, my movements weren't my own.
"I" stood up and walked across the room to sit on the window ledge.
"See this Sakura." 'I' said pointing up to the now dark blue night sky. "It's just like the sky back in Konoha. Only, this isn't Konoha. We don't even now where we are right now. We came down from that sky. Maybe if we go back up, we'll go back home. All we need to do is think about a way to get there and to stay in 'one piece' as you put it." My reflection in the glass smilled at me. "So don't give up, and don't cry, okay?"
The hazziness faded and I felt in control again.
Inner was right, I had to try.
I willed my chakra forward and stepped out onto the window's ledge. I had, to try. I HAD to!
For Naruto, Sai, Kakashi-senpai, Tsunade-sensai, Konoha, and everyone else. I needed them, just as much as they needed me. I leeped out into the night air and dropped effortlessly to ground, dozens of stories below.
I took off running, to where, I had no clue. But, it felt right. I felt closer to my friends than I had sence I'd been here. I WOULD get home.
I followed my senses to a deserted park. Everything felt alive. I even felt the pull of chakra from the trees. I walked deeper into a group of trees that seemed to be admitting the chakra. I stepped behind a large oak and gasped. There was what looked like a portal behind it. It had the same black light glowing around it, but there was a white swirl of light in the center.
Would this get me home?
I stuck my hand into it, but yelped and pulled back when I felt a strong, inhuman tug on it.
Well, one thing's for sure. It would take me somewhere.
I was about to step inside when a small, mimicking thought hit me.
What is it Sakura? You're about to possibly go home. Aren't excited at all?! Let's get going!
Okay, but...
But what?
How do I tell the guys, I mean, the Task Force... that I'm leaving?
Simple, you don't.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whew! I finished. Well, it's not turning out how I had orginally planned, but... Oh well! I think it's okay.
My friend that I've mentioned earlier was over my house and she read all the reviews about the principal and her evil step dad, Steve, and she asked me to give a big ol' thanks to whoever commented, or offered support, even secretly, for her situation.
And for all those wondering, NO, I will not be finishing this story soon. Sakura's POV is not going to help end the story once she returns home! Who says she's even going to GET home? I love being the author! I get to make the story go however I want and get to torment all you readers! Mua Ha Ha! Long live me!
Please review!
Oh, and heads up, I'm going on vacation to a desolate cottage in the middle of no where with no internet for like, a week or 2. So sorry if I take a while to update.

See yall next time! :)
