A small cherry blossom floated in front of Naruto and he cried next to Kakashi.

Sakura was gone.


Mizuru laid on the forest floor right below Goshiboku with Sakura on his back and Nihon next to him. He laid there for a small amount of time before deciding it was time to get moving.

"You know Goshiboku; it would have been nice for a warning next time maybe. A small, hey the landing may hurt a teeny bit," Mizuru mumbled as he stood up carefully sliding Sakura to the forest floor, and took a look around. First thing he noticed was the shrine that now surrounded the tree. Then he noticed the group of villagers that also surrounded the tree, and a priestess with a bow pointed right at his heart. Sakura slowly sat up behind him rubbing her head and hanging it low so all of her hair was in her face.

"Mizuru this has got to stop happening. Geez I wonder if there is something wrong with me or maybe it was just a fluke and I was just dreaming. But you know Mizuru I don't think I was..." Sakura stopped muttering and stared at the arrow pointed at Mizuru's heart.

"Yep not a dream that's an arrow. Mizuru where are we? Weren't we talking to Kakashi-sensei a second ago?" Sakura hissed the questions under her breath.

"We are now in my world mistress. The human tried to stop us from leaving and knock you unconscious," Mizuru mumbled back. A quiet whine broke out as Nihon woke up and sat up.

"Who's the dog?" Sakura asked under her breath again her eyes never leaving the arrow.

"That is the companion I told you I had to see. He will be joining us." The priestess with the bow moved closer and she brought the bow to Mizuru's face.

"Why are you here demons? You will not have it!" she spoke sternly. Sakura took her eyes off the arrow and looked at the young priestess in front of them. She wore the traditional cloths Sakura had seen priestesses wear in scrolls and books. Her hair was beautiful ebony and looked to be long. Her hands were dainty but held great power from what Sakura could see, but the thing that really stood out about the young women was her brown eyes. They were old and wise for a woman her age. Sakura knew those eyes because she also had them. Eyes that have seen a world of hurt. Sakura had looked into those same eyes for years. She stood up and walked toward the woman. Her pink hair all tangled and seriously who was she kidding, Sakura knew she was still in pjs and looked terrible. There was something in that woman's eyes that push Sakura forward. The woman looked at her nervously.

"Stay back demon. I will kill you! Stay back!" The priestess started to panic more and more as Sakura got closer. She couldn't understand why the demon was looking at her like that or why she couldn't let loose an arrow.

"Lady Kikyo! Lady Kikyo!" the villagers around her tried to move closer it by some unknown force they couldn't move.
Sakura pushed the arrow aside and took one more step closer to Kikyo.

Sakura smiled warmly and before taking Kikyo into an embrace she said, "I understand." Kikyo, Mizuru and all of the villagers were shocked as the girl with the long pink hair hugged the young priestess.

Sakura let go of Kikyo and took a step back. "Sorry it's just, well you looked like you needed a hug?" Sakura shrugged and sat next to Mizuru.

"Soooo this is your world what do we do now?" Sakura asked and bumped Mizuru's shoulder. Mizuru just stared at her confused by the extremely random thing Sakura did. Sakura stretched where she sat and leaned against Mizuru.

"Well I do know I'm sitting in front of a bunch of people with only my pjs on and that is slightly uncomfortable. You know seeing as I am wearing a really simple tank and boxer shorts and have nothing on underneath. That the way to meet a world!" Sakura whispered very irritated with him. Mizuru looked down at her and laughed. She shoved him over and grumbled at him. Then her forehead started to tingle. She reached up to the crystals there and felt the warmth they stared giving off.

"Sister Kikyo look! The jewel!" a small girl pointed at a necklace Sakura hadn't noticed before. On the end a pink now glowing jewel hung from at the bottom like a pendant. Sakura stood and walked over to the priestess again. The closer Sakura got the more the jewel glowed and the more Sakura's forehead tingled and to her surprise glowed as well. Sakura knelt in front of the priestess and smiled finally understand what was going on.

"I'm glad you made it back safely Midoriko," she said to the jewel and brushed it with the tip of her fingers. There was a great flash of pale pink light that cause everyone to cover their eyes. When the light faded and everyone could see again they stared in amazement at the two women standing before them. On the right was lady Kikyo who seemed slightly frazzles and on the left was Sakura who now was clothed in the traditional priestess's clothing and had a nice set of armor to match. The men of the village dropped their jaws at the beauty the pink haired woman held until the neko demon and wolf demon moved.

"Midoriko send more gifts mistress?" Mizuru asked simply. Sakura nodded and rubbed the crystals on her forehead.

"Is that going to happen a lot?" Sakura and Mizuru continued talking as the villagers cautiously made their way to Kikyo. She still stood there kind of shocked until her sister tugged on her pants. She looked up at the crowd and then at the woman talking to casually with two demons at her side.

"You girl what are you?" she asked in her stern voice again. Sakura looked up and smiled.

"A friend sent me to help."

"Yet you bring demons with you?" Kikyo was concerned for her village and wary of this woman. The jewel accepted her for some unknown reason and Kikyo wanted to know why.

Sakura looked down at Mizuru and then back at Nihon. "Simple, they are my friends and will be helping me help you." The neko demon covered itself in a whirlpool which scared every villager there silly. They screamed and ran as the neko demon shrank and jumped on Sakura's shoulders.

"Rather skidish bunch aren't they," Mizuru smirked.

"Stop it Mizuru, she is the one I'm supposed to help," she scolded him and extended her hand to the priestess. "I'm sorry I didn't me to scare anyone. My name is Haruno Sakura; this is Mizuru and a wolf pup. He is a new addition. We are here to help." Kikyo stepped forward and extended her hand as well. They shook hand for a moment before Kikyo finally accepted the jewels judgment.

"Priestess Kikyo and this is my sister Kaede, the people of this village have dealt with many different hardships. We are not fond of new comers and demons. I will accept your help because the jewel wishes it so but earning my trust will be difficult," she spoke and walked back to her shrine and the people back to their village. Sakura not really sure of what to do now decided to introduce herself to the new member of her group.

She knelt in front of the rather tall dog, "so I am Sakura and you are?"

"Nihon." Mizuru supplied.

"I can tell from your marking you're from the Inuzuka compound. Did you have a partner? Actually first can you talk like Makami and Kuromaru?" Nihon looked at her for a second contemplating the answer.

"Yes talk some. Not well small words. No partner me only," Nihon spoke in a higher voice much like a child's voice. Sakura smiled and rubbed the top of his head.

"Good now to get on Kikyo's good side," Sakura sighed and started walking toward the shrine to find a place to sleep and food.

"So since you don't have a partner and are with me, does that mean I am your partner?" Sakura questioned excitedly. Nihon thought about it for a little while and then nodded. Sakura jumped up and down like a little kid.

"That is so exciting! I can't wait to try a bunch of new jutsus with you! YAY!" Sakura kept walking oblivious to the villagers cautiously watching her. Mizuru hit her in the face with one of his tails before her day dreaming ran her into a little girl. In fact it was the sister to the priestess.

"Pleh Pleh! Mizuru you do realize you tails are really fluffy and tend to leave fur everywhere. Like in my mouth for example! Why'd you hit me?" Sakura looked at him obviously annoyed and he just looked away admitting to no wrong.

Nihon snickered next to Sakura before bumping her in the side. "Sakura-sama the cat stop hurt to human pup. Look," he said pointing his nose at the girl.

"Ooooh," Sakura said as she looked down at the girl in front of her. "I still don't forgive you for getting fur in my mouth," Sakura mumbled before kneeling to be at the girl's level.

"Your Kaede right?" the girl nodded.

"Well I'm Sakura and this is Nihon and Mizuru. It's nice to meet you," Sakura offered her hand to the child.

"I don't know what ye are planning but I love my sister. I don't trust you or your demons. Just know I'll be watching you," Kaede smiled a little too sweetly before disappearing into a hut. Sakura stared after Kaede amused at her threat and impressed by her love for her sister.

"She is very brave pup. Stand up to alpha is sign of strong warrior," Nihon nodded to himself.

"Her alpha that is ridiculous," Mizuru huffed. "She can't even walk and manage all her hair at the same time. Let alone a pack."

"Hey jerk I was going to cut it and make it manageable before someone stopped me," Sakura glared at the neko demon still on her shoulders.

"Cutting your hair is getting rid of the problem not managing it. Think of it as training," Mizuru smirked at his quick thinking. He truly loved Sakura's long hair and didn't want to see her cut it off. It reminded him of her as a child.

"Training for what? Being a professional hair stylist? I thought I was here to help with your bad chaos problem," Sakura continued to glare at him.

"Training for patience and graceful body movement," Mizuru loved his quick thinking. She stared at him with a very unamused face. Nihon snickered beside them as they fought like a pair of alphas.

"What patience is very important and graceful body movement helps with swordplay. Which is something you will have to learn, mistress," Mizuru defended his made up reasons, which were actually sounding not too bad.

"And how do you propose I do that? How do you train with hair?" Sakura watched as she saw the wheels turning in the stupid neko demon's head.

"Simple," he said finally. "You must walk around with your hair down and avoid it. Without the use of your hands and just know I won't make it easy," Mizuru smirked as he jumped off her shoulders and sent water all over her hair as he changed shapes. He leaped into the air and started throwing water at her hair. Sakura's soaking wet hair hung down and dragged on the ground next to her feet.

"Now walk without looking at your feet, using your hands, or stepping on your hair."

Sakura smirked, "This will be easy!" Nihon stepped to the side and let Sakura be on her way. She made it a few feet before tripping over her hair and falling on her face.

"Stupid hair."

AN: YAY chapter 8 that is a wrap! I love how clumsy Sakura is. Mizuru is such a jerk but I love him, and I am debating if I want Nihon to end up helping Kaede. I guess you will have to wait and see! I hope you enjoyed it! PLEASE REVIEW!
