Chapter Seven

Sakura's POV

I blinked open my eyes. I didn't know how long I was out with that horrid headache or what had happened, but I had a pretty good idea that NOTHING had happened since I was locked in a dark room with nothing in it.

I rolled over and my eye twitched. I expected the horrid pain of my headache, but surprisingly no pain was there.

I smirked, happy that I had gotten rid of the pain, well of course I don't know what really happened, so all I could do was assume.

The smirk danced on my lips for a few more seconds before it faded and I stood up. My legs felt strong once more and I didn't fell weak or hopeless. Well, I guess my well exercised legs were living up to what they were built for.

My eyes wandered when I stood. I was able to make out the silver outlines of some objects, but there was nothing much. My eyes soon fixed on the silver outline of the door. As much as I wanted to grin or smile I didn't. I kept a straight face and turned and started towards it.

I walked slowly, just incase I could run into anything, but I knew for a fact that I wouldn't, but there was no harm in being careful.

I edged towards the door and when I was close enough to reach out and grasp its cold knob I froze. Sensing someone from behind the door I backed up slightly and watched as the knob turned and the door creaked open.

No one stepped in, but someone did say, "Oh, you're awake. Finally, well come with me now."

The voice was gruff, cold and bored, but I paid no attention to the way he spoke. I only watched his shadow retreat and then follow him like an obedient dog, which of course I am not, but what choice did I have?

I sighed a small sigh as I followed him. I still held my cold, green gaze to his back, but he didn't seem to mind much. So, this is what I get for being in the same place as a bunch of A ranked creeps…I thought to myself.

It seemed like ages before we stopped at an unknown door. (Well, to me it was) I looked at it. "What is this? Some cheap bet? Why do I keep going from place to place in here?" I grumbled to myself.

He said nothing, but glanced at me and then turned back. He knocked on the door and it opened. A hand came from inside and made a "come in" motion with it.

I watched as the guy before me stepped inside, then motion for me to come along too. I rolled my eyes, but followed him inside.

I looked around. It was roomy for sure, but I didn't feel comfortable. I only needed questions answered and I also hoped to actually DO something other than sit around all day like an old geezer.

"Well, Sakura you finally decided to get well." A voice spoke, breaking my thoughts.

I turned my head. "Yes, I did decide to get well." I replied sarcastically.

The other man chuckled. "Very sarcastic are you? Well, that's not what you were summoned here for…" he started. Oh, great! Now I am come hamster! Getting summoned from place to place! I thought and waited from his to continue. He continued, "You were brought here to make sure that you are able to start your training session."

"Training…session?" I said staring blankly, but surprised at him.

"Yes, training. Now, this will proceed for about two weeks before you are put into a new training system that was built not too long ago to train new comers or some of us if needed, but it wasn't really needed, but you will be using it."

"Okay, I see. It seems easy enough, but will it cover all that I still lack?" I asked.

"Yes, it will and more."

"Good, so when do I start?"

Regular POV

"Anxious to get started? That's good. And to answer your question today your trainer will be him. Kisame." He said pointing to the now familiar person.

"WAAHH!!! No way! Fish face is going to train ME?!" Sakura yelled and looked at the frowning Kisame.

"Come on." He said gruffly and turned and started towards the door.

Sakura sighed as she turned and shuffled behind him. She heard the other person chuckle and say a few things, but she couldn't understand him at all.

She sighed again as she followed Kisame down the hallway to some unknown area. Kisame was paying no attention to her as usual and just turned down another hall. He stopped and entered a large room.

Sakura stopped and peered around the room from where she stood. She looked up to see the Kisame looking straight at her boredly. He motioned for her to come inside.

Sakura walked inside without another thought. "So, what are you going to do? Work me to death?" She asked stopping and crossing her arms.

"No, not really…" Kisame grinned widely showing a row of shiny, sharp teeth. "Just do as I say and you won't be near death once the day has ended."

"Oh, don't worry. The only one that would be close to death would be you. So, what's going to happen today fish face?"

"First thing don't call me "fish face" it's annoying and I don't like it. And second of all let's see if you can keep up and dodge my attacks."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever fish face," she teased and smirked as she looked up at him.

Sakura eyes closed for a moment. She still stood where she was. She reopened them and Kisame was no longer where he stood. She wasn't surprised by this; she simply smirked and blocked his kick with her hand.

"Is that all you got?" She asked as she swatted it away and dodged another kick. She flipped backwards, but had to stay on her toes. The moment she landed she was forced to move again.

She pulled out two kunais and threw them at him. As expected they were easily dodged. Sakura looked around, but in an instant was punched.

She skidded across the room. "You always have to be ready, girl." Kisame sneered and he stood over her.

Sakura laid there for a moment, before rolling over and his very large weapon hit the spot where she used to be.

She hopped to her feet and tried her best to calm her heavy breathing. She rubbed her cheek slightly, but kept here eyes on him. "Out of breath already? You sure you won't be half dead by the end of this?"

"Oh, I am sure," Sakura replied to Kisame's sneer. She ducked a kick and tripped Kisame quickly, but it turned into a clone.

She rolled her eyes and grumbled. Fine, I guess I'll use "that" move that I was taught. She thought and closed her eyes. Her hands went together into a ball and she muttered a few things.

Her eyes reopened and she hardened her eyes. Nothing seemed to have changed, but her sight was the thing that had changed.

She smirked as she ran forward at full speed. Catching Kisame off guard, which was unusual. She punched him square in the face, then ran forward and kicked him on the side, making him hit a wall.

She lowered her leg and placed her hand on her hip and leaned to one side slightly. "I am not half dead yet am I?" She said and smirked slightly.

"I see, you're not bad. Not as weak as you were are you?" Kisame said and looked at her straight. He seemed a bit annoyed, but it was hard to tell.

Sakura uncrossed her arms. "What's the matter? Tired already?" She asked mockingly. She got in stance again.

He grumbled and disappeared. The sounds of attacks being blocked and some hitting rang through the air and out into the halls. Some stopped, but other paid no attention and continued on their way.

About two hours later Sakura was still standing. Her arms were bruised and multiple cuts shown on her face. They were not bleeding they were just red.

Her breaths came out in pants and she was still in a stance. In front of her Kismae stood, just as beat up, but he seemed to have sustained more from here for some reason. Finally he wavered and fell.

Sakura heaved with a sigh of relief and got out of the stance. Her arms dropped to her sides and she dropped her head. She felt weak and exhausted, but she wasn't going to collapse until she was in her room or the last room she was in.

The door to the dojo opened. Another man stepped in and Sakura looked up. "…." She said nothing but watch him closely.

"Hmm….it seems like you won this one…" the person said looking at Kisame, then at Sakura.

Sakura nodded. "Well, no duh…" she said between breaths. "Can I go now? I am tired, hot and I need to get away from this dojo until tomorrow!"

The man chuckled. "Sure. Do you remember the last room you had? If you do go there and rest. Tomorrow you will be doing another training session…"

"Yeah, yeah…I know." She said and waved off the question. She passed the person and scurried down the hall towards her last room. She was ready to take a shower and collapse onto her bed.

She hurried quickly, but too quickly. She flew down the hall and broke into a swift run. She kept her eyes on the ground to watch her step and of course she didn't bother to look up.

Suddenly her footsteps stopped and she thudded to the ground. "Oof!" She said once she hit the ground. She winced and looked up.

Okay, finally I am done. Sorry for the wait! I'll try to write faster. Well, enjoy and please R&R!
