"Sakura," said Ansem getting her attention. "I knew this day would come but I thought it would take longer." Sakura just stared at him as he continued. "The choice is yours Sakura; stay here and continue your training or go back to the leaf village."

Naruto smiled knowing what she would choose. But the look and Sakura's face made him drop his grin. "I…I…I need to think about this for a minute!" shouted Sakura before darkness formed around her and she vanished.

The Heartless disappeared as well and the three dark warriors made their leave. But not before Ansem gave the ninja a warning.

"Be warned, this choice is only Sakura's you are not to interfere. You will be safe from the Heartless in here, but step on foot outside and I won't stop any Heartless from attacking you."

All was quiet except for Naruto whispering "Sakura,"

It has been minutes after Sakura left, and the ninjas were getting restless. Naruto was pacing back and forth not knowing what to do. "Why do we have to stay here and wait for who knows how long."

"Because like Ansem said if we leave this room the Heartless will be all over us." said Kakashi deep in thought then cutting this thumb and said "But he didn't say anything else could leave." and with that did a few hand signs and slammed his hand onto the ground. Smoke appeared and when it cleared a small pug was sitting before Kakashi.

Pakkun (I think that is the name, please tell me if it's spelled wrong) stared up at Kakashi and yawned. "Hey what's up, why am I here?"

"Listen Pakkun I need you to find Sakura, she's here somewhere, find her see what she is doing and then report back here. Got it?" said Kakashi. The dog nodded and jumped out the window.

(Scene change)

Sakura was deep in thought as she lay down on a bench by a fountain in a large garden whose statues were half covered in moss from lack of care. 'Why am I having a hard time choosing? I mean why dose it seem so hard?'

'Maybe it the fact you like Ansem,' said inner Sakura. 'And I don't blame you but we also miss our friends, I still can't believe you forgot about them'

'What do you mean you? You also forgot about them'

'Details, who needs details. The point is that you have to choose between Ansem and the village. My vote does not count.'

Sakura got up and started walking around still 'talking' to her inner. 'Maybe I'm really do like him but what if it will turned out like Sasuke. No it's just another stupid crush.'

'Come on, why not. He's powerful, hot, and made you powerful. What could go wrong?'

'No it won't work I won't say I'm in love.'

'No way! You guys are like the earth and heaven to each other. Don't try to keep things from me cause I see right through them. You love him, just say it.'

'I'm not saying that, you are just trying to make me go crazy.' Sakura continue to walk only to stop and look at a statue of a couple that were dancing. 'My heart fell like a battle ground and I don't even know which side is winning.'

'Please there is no shame to say you're in love.' said inner Sakura giving her outer a sly smile.

Sakura stopped pacing and picked a white lily smelling the sweet flower before lying down and the bench again. 'At least out loud, I won't say I'm in love.'

"You seem to be thinking hard." said a voice from behind Sakura.

Sakura shot up to see who was speaking to her. But after see who it is an annoyed look appear on her face. "What do you want Akecheta?" she said in a tone that matched her look.

"Nothing, just seeing if you have a hard time choosing," said the knight.

"Let me guess, you are going to tell me that you would stay with Ansem. Well of course you would, you have been with him since the start." said Sakura in a matter of fact tone. "I just don't know what to do. My heart has never been so confuse before."

"A warrior must follow his heart. It will aid him in battle. Just fellow your heart Sakura; let it lead you." said Akecheta as he began to leave.

Sakura got a sly smile on her face, "If I didn't know any better Akecheta I'd say that you have a soft spot." she said not noticing the tick mark on Akecheta's helmet. "But you helped me out, thanks."

Akecheta just nodded and left. Sakura stood up and vanished in a portal of darkness. All was quite as Pakkun clawed out from under a nearby bush. "Better tell Kakashi about this."

(Scene change)

"Really now, good work Pakkun, this is good to know. You may good now." said Kakashi. Pakkun just got back and explained what he heard. Though for Sakura talking to her inner it look like she real head problems as he out it. Her face went for many emotions in a little period of time.

"Can't I just have someone feel my paw please?" pleaded Pakkun rising his paw. Hinata, feeling sorry for the pug, felt his paw with two fingers. Pakkun smiled at her with mini waterfalls coming from his eyes. "You're a good person," he said as he poofed away.

As they waited Ansem appeared through a dark portal. Less then thirty second later a portal of darkness came into view and as it vanished Sakura was standing there. Everyone expect Ansem gasped what whet she was wearing.

Sakura was wearing her ninja gear that she had before Ansem kidnapped her. She smiled at them but winched as Naruto yelled "SAKURA!! Those that mean what I think it means."

Sakura nodded and walked over to Ansem which confused everybody. Sakura summoned her key blade and held it out to Ansem with both hands, her head down. "Ansem I'm sorry but I chose to go back home. I can't keep this with me. I don't deserve it." she said.

Ansem grasped the key blade in his hands and threw it out the window. Everyone there, expect for Sakura who had a confused face, was shocked. A few minutes of silence the key blade appeared in Sakura's hand again. "You see Sakura, that key blade chose you to be its master. While I can use it, it is yours to wield. You chose you path go follow it." and with that Ansem turned to leave. But pausing to say. "Remember Sakura, no matter what happens, you are always welcome back."

Sakura nodded her head and began to leave with her friends.

(Scene change)

Ansem, Akecheta, and Maleficent watched from the highest tower as the ninja left the front gate. "Do you think it is wise to let her leave? She could tell all that she has learned. Are you sure about his." said Maleficent glaring at the tiny figures below.

"Do you not trust my judgment? Don't worry I know what I am doing." said Ansem as he left the room

"Be careful Master Ansem, you must not let your heart cloud your judgment." said Maleficent.

Ansem just snorted and left. 'Don't worry Sakura you will be stronger and then no one will be able to be a match for you.'

New chapter done and new story on the way. Please read and review.
