Four days ago I left kohoha and still no sign of the others, I was growing frustrated and worried when suddenly a large clearing came into view. I speed my pace to freeze in horror at what lay before me. Shikamaru was leaning against a tree blood running from his chest. He spoke his voice shaky "Gaara". I followed hi gaze to see Gaara laying on the ground his sand spread around him his crimson blood mixing with it. He lay there unconscious probably dead, I ran to him quickly healing the worst of his wounds before turning toward Shikamaru. His only life threatening wound was a stab wound in his guy. A few beads of sweat ran down my face as I finished healing them to the point they could make it home alive.

Both were refusing to leave so I spoke my voice cold "wait here a day top's..if Naruto and Neji aren't here by then you leave…if they return without me you leave!" They nodded excepting defeat as I took off toward the others.

When I reached them I was shocked to see an unconscious Neji. Naruto and Sauske were fighting, both looked tired but Naruto was in much worse shape. As I ran into sight the battle stopped, Naruto quickly returning to his defensive position in front of Neji. I ignored them both running straight for Neji when suddenly Sauske stood before me blocking my path. I glared at him wanting to kill him now but the sight of Neji's body took priority "Naruto how bad is Neji?"

"not to bad if he get's help soon"

I sighed inward relief washing over me "Naruto take Neji and go…Gaara and Shikamaru are waiting…once you meet them head home"

"sakura…." I put on a fake warm smile though I could tell he didn't believe me

"go I will be right behind you"

He nodded a tear falling from his eye's as he took off, as they disappeared from sight Sauske spoke "you know that without Naruto's aid I will kill you right"

"I know"

"your willing to give your life for him…for the Hyuga"

"yes" An anger flashed in Sauske's eye's but he allowed Naruto to carry Neji farther away none the less. As they exited I released a breath I did not know I had been holding. Sauske's eye's radiated anger so I smirked shifting slightly under his glare, suddenly the image of my friends….the feeling of my pain swept over me as I lunged at him with kunai drawn. He dodged it kicking me. As his foot connected a puff of smoke appeared he turned away thinking it to be a substitution so I used this chance. Hitting two pressure points I cut off any fire style jutsu's and sent him flying into a tree.

I landed to feel my knee's give out from his hit to my gut, I grabbed my gut healing it quickly before advancing on him katana drew. I swung downward as his foot swung up hitting my jaw. I stumbled back dropping my sword my vision foggy from his hit. When it returned to normal I quickly picked my sword back up but looked on in horror unable to find Sauske 'Neji be safe'. I turned in circles scanning the area over and over. I raised my katana running my left hand down the blade as if grabbing the sword, the action sliced my palm. I sheathed my katana grabbing a Sakura petal from my pouch, I placed it in my left hand. I then pulled it up from my hand, placing the bloody petal between two of my fingers performing 9 hand signs. The words that followed barely above a whisper…I spoke the jutsu's name "blood petals".

As in a shadow clone jutsu the petal's multiplied into around 100 then a I closed my eye's began spinning around and away from me like a tornado in which I am the eye. The speed and rotation increased then as my eye's shot open a shockwave erupted and the petals flew out like daggers. I smirked as Sauske stumbled out of his hiding spot blood running down his arm and forehead. He glared at me his voice flat and cold "when did you learn that"

"you don't recognize it" I made my voice sound shocked to mock him

"let me guess you created it"

I laughed a fake and taunting laugh my wrist bent in front of my mouth slightly to emphasize the mocking tone. He glared the famous Uchiha glare "then where did you learn it"

"keki genki (no idea if spelled right)…blood trait of mine…" he looked taken aback and spoke his voice was soft "is that it's only ability".

I shook my head no and he looked at me expectantly, I looked away not wanting to tell my enemy more. His eye's bore into my very soul it seemed, suddenly his sharingun was activated. I took a deep breath "if I must I will show you".
