Last Time:

The blue haired girl decided to use this chance to take Ino out of the fight. She concentrated most of her chakra into her right hand and ran at the blonde. Just as Hinata was about to use her gentle fist on the young blonde Sakura got in the way and pushed Ino out of the way taking the blow for her.

This time it directly hit her in the stomach causing her knees to buckle. Sakura grabbed her stomach and started to cough.

"SAKURA!!!!!" Ino screamed tears coming to her eyes. She tried to reach her friend but Sakura just weakly raised her hand to stop her from going any further.

Hinata smirked at the young girl as she towered over her. "Hehehe...not so tough now are we. Your the same as him..." She told her before she kicked Sakura in the stomach sending her into the wall. Her back crashed painfully against the concrete as the medic felt one of her ribs snap.

Sakura wasn't looking at Hinata, but at the ground trying to suppress her severe coughing. Tightly she clutched her sides as she felt blood side down the corner of her mouth. With her knowledge over medical jutsu she knew that those two direct hits caused major damage to her ribs and organs.

Hinata took a deep breathe as she yelled out in a demanding tone filled with malice.

"The same as Sasuke!"

'Inner Sakura'

Chapter 10: Hurt Her And You Die

Once those words left the Hyuuga's mouth Sakura instantly stopped coughing, staring at her bloody hand. Her eyes were wide in shock or was it realization? Ino couldn't tell for sure from where she was standing. Her pink hair covered her face allowing none of her emotion's to be shown.

Everyone was silent in the room. The tension was so fierce that you could slice it with a knife. It was like Hinata spoke some unforgiveable word and everyone was suffering from it's effects.

Hinata stood in front of Sakura to further prove her point to the still girl. "See no comment from you. I guess I'm right." She cackled evily at Sakura's pain.

Ino was about to jump at the bitch when she found that she was caught in some hold. She looked down and almost lost all self control when she saw a shadow that was Shikamaru's trademark move. "Shikamaru what the fu..." Her speech was interupted when her teammate covered his mouth in turn making her cover her mouth.

Chouji decided to ask the question since his friend couldn't right now. "What are you talking about? Sakura's nothing like that traitor!" The blonde looked at her chubby teammate in a new light. Appartently he never liked Sasuke for leaving either. Well Naruto and Sakura are good childhood friends of his so of course he would be very protective over them. He's the same way with her and Shikamaru.

Since Shikamaru was looking at Hinata watching her every move, Ino couldn't see Naruto's reaction. Was he pissed or sad? 'I wonder if he's going to get into this fight. I don't blame him that much if he doesn't since Hinata's his girlfriend and Sakura's his best friend. Damn I wish Shikamaru didn't catch me in that stupid jutsu of his.' Ino thought over in her mind all the while trying to break free of this stupid jutsu.

"Ha! I can't believe none of you have realized the similarities between them." Hinata started in a I'm way better than you voice. "First off both of them have intentially hurt Naruto. Sakura claims to be his best friend like Sasuke did, but in the end she's going to leave him too just like Sasuke did. She's like a leech all she does is use him to get stronger just like Sasuke."

This time Shikamaru removed his hand so that Ino can scream at the blue haired bitch. "Sakura is and alway's will be Naruto's best friend no matter what! Also she would never leave Naruto like that! That's just not in her to do so!"

Hinata turned to Ino a smirk crossing her features. "She left you just like that. And for Sasuke no less. Didn't she promise you that you two will be best friend's forever. Whatever happened to that?"

Okay she hit way under the belt with that one. Ino felt like she was physically slapped with that comment. Turning to her friend she found that she sunk her head even lower to the floor hiding her face from all to see.

Ino sucked in a deep breath before saying in a cool tone that even she found shocking to hear due to her intense anger. "I don't see how my past with Sakura has anything to do with you."

If it was possible Hinata's grin got even larger. "Oh so you don't deny it huh. Just one more reason that Sakura's a terrible person."

Suddenly someone slammed their hands on the stage causing one of the boards to launch up in the air. "ENOUGH!!!! Hinata if you have any desire to live them I suggest you leave my apprentice alone!!" Tsunade shouted pissed that someone would think that they have the right to hurt the girl that she see's as a daughter.

"Hmmmm...Sakura looks like they're here to save you again. Can't you ever do anything by yourself? Alway's having others come and save your sorry ass. Looks like you haven't changed at all your still a...hinderance." Hinata finshed talking to Sakura saying the one thing that she has alway's hated the most about herself being useless to her friends.

Anger and killing intent filled up inside Ino's heart consuming her whole being. Shikamaru was so shocked by her emotions that he lost his grasp on his shadow clone freeing her instantly.

Like a bull she charged at the Hyuuga so fast that the bitch didn't see it coming. Grapping her shirt into both her fists she slammed the girl against the wall making her wince.

Ino was looking at Sakura as she spoke to Hinata. "Just give me one reason..." She started in barely above a whisper. Her voice was dripping with malice and she took extreme pleasure when the bitch shivered slightly in fear. Then she faced Hinata looking her directly in the eyes making sure that she saw every single murderous intent in her eyes before shouting at the top of her lungs. "ONE REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T KILL YOU!!!"

In all her years as a shinobi Ino's never taken anyones life before, but with these emotions running through her blood she was pretty sure that she was capable of it right now. She completely forgot that Hinata was a good friend of her's and that she was only jealous. No what she saw was a threat. A threat to her Sakura-chan's happiness and she would do everything in her power to keep that beautiful smile on her face.

"Ino stop you don't know what your doing!!" shouted all her friend's. If she took the time to look at them she probably would've seen their horrified faces. Of course they would be shocked she was attempting to kill someone!

She blocked them out as she brought a single kunai out of her weapon pouch. A shinobi must alway's be on alert no matter the situation and must alway's come prepared. That's what she was taught back in the academy. Oh she was prepared alright. Right now all she wanted was to slit the little bitches throat then she would never hurt Sakura again.

Hinata started shaking in fear. "You...wouldn't...do that...Ino...think of what could happen to you if you do." It was more of a statment that sort of came out as a plea to spare her life.

Ino cackled in amusement at the young girl. "What all bark and no bite? Here your calling Sakura the terrible one. You just completely hurt one of your best friends just because you were jealous of her and Naruto's relationship."

Now Hinata's fear was replaced with anger. "You know what Ino your such a hypocrite. You fought with Sakura over Sasuke for 3 damn years! The only reason you two settled your differences is because you got to pound the living shit out of each other! If I'm the terrible one than your just plain evil." She finished with her chin held high.

Her confidence dissolved as soon as it came when Ino placed the kunai beneath her throat. Leaning closer to her prey Ino said in a delicate voice. "I'll show you just how evil I can be." Lightly she pressed the kunai against her neck making a thin trail of blood run down her neck.

She was about to go in for the kill when a small yet strong hand stopped her from going any further. Ino looked at the hand around her forearm before turning her head pissed that someone would stop her. Her anger quickly flew out the window when her eyes landed on a pink haired, jade eyed girl.

Sakura's eyes weren't their regular bright jade green full of life, but rather dark and dead. Her face was emotionless almost like she had no emotions. She gave of the aura of a human ice cube. It reminded Ino of the heartless Uchiha that destroyed their friendship. This wasn't her Sakura-chan at all, no this was an empty vessal made to look like her.

"Sakura let go and let me do this. Because of her your like this. Please let me do this." Ino pleaded with her friend keeping a firm grip on the handle of the kunai still pressed to Hinata's throat.

When she spoke her voice was also like her face emotionless. Dead. "And what good will that do? She's dead and I'm still hurting. It's not her fault what she said was the truth. As much as I hate to say it I am like him. I've hurt countless of my precious people for my own happiness and power. I don't even deserve to have friends like you guys. Sometimes I even wonder if I even deserve to live." Even though she tried to mask her emotions Ino heard the slight crack in her voice.

"Please Ino this isn't like you. Just stop while you still have a chance to. Your hands aren't that of a killer, but of an innocent person! Please don't stain your hands because of me." Sakura begged to her friend her grip on her arm loosing slightly as she tried to hold back her tears.

Ino was conflicted on what to do. On one hand Hinata tried to kill Sakura and then kicked her while she was down. On the other hand Sakura really needs her right now and she doesn't want her to kill Hinata. She took a deep breath knowing exactly what hand to choose.

With a heavy heart Ino let go of the kunai and with quick reflexes she wrapped her arms around Sakura just as the girl couldn't hold her tears in anymore. The kunai dropped to the ground with a loud clang breaking everyone in the room from their trance.

Sakura buried her face into the crook of Ino's shoulder as the tears flowed out of her eyes like a waterfall. Ino layed her head gently on top of Sakura's and rubbed her back in small circles. This was what they used to do when Sakura was upset about the other girls bullying her.

'Sakura why do girls alway's have to be so jealous of you? Why do you have to suffer while everyone else is happy? I'm so sorry that I was ever jealous of you I hope you understand that now. Nothing will ever come between us again I promise.' Ino swore her grip on her friends body tightening by a little. A lone tear fell down her cheek as she continued to console Sakura.

Hinata decided to once again make herself known much to Ino's displeasure. "So you go from Sasuke to Naruto to INO!! Jeez when ones gone you go for another one in line. Well you can't beg and choose isn't that right Sakura."

Another sob this one louder than the others ripped through Sakura's tiny form. Ino really wished that she killed that bitch right now. She held Sakura closer to her body blushing lightly as she accidently touched her bare skin under her shirt. Lifting her head from on top of Sakura's she went to her right ear and whispered soothing words to reassure her.

"Your nothing but a whore. Why don't you do us all a favor and leave like Sasuke did." Hinata retorted in a superior manner.

Sakura gripped Ino's shirt tightly like she was trying to argue with the other girl. She whispered to Ino the best she could. "I...don't..wa..nt..t..o...le...ave...every...one."

Before Ino could let go of Sakura and kill the bitch another person jumped onto the stage. Their footsteps echoed throughout the stage.

"Enough." said the voice that was all to familar. Ino quickly turned her head to see Naruto standing right next to him. Gone was the goofy smile and bright blue eyes. They were replaced by dark red eyes filled with rage and a thin line were his lips should be.

"Naruto-kun I was only trying to..." Hinata started before she was completely cut off by her boyfriend.

"I SAID ENOUGH!!!!" Naruto screamed causing Hinata to severely jump up in the air. Ino looked at Naruto with her mouth hanging open. She's never seen him this pissed off before. Sure back when they were younger he would get pissed off by Sasuke, but that was different. With the aura he was emitting he seemed like a blood thirsty demon.

He stood where he was shaking in blind rage. "What gives you the right to judge Sakura like that? WHAT!!! She's never done anything to intentially hurt you, yet you almost killed her just because you can't realize that we're just friends! Did you know that Sakura's been helping you every step of the way! If it wasn't for her than I would have never been aware of your feelings for me! THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HER BY THROWING THE MISTAKES SHE'S MADE IN THE PAST RIGHT IN HER FACE!!! BY BRINGING UP SASUKE!!! WHAT KIND OF FRIEND ARE YOU!!" Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs his voice echoing of the walls.

Everyone thought that Hinata would just break down and cry, but she did the exact opposite. She darkly chuckled at her boyfriend before throwing a kunai at him. Naruto easily dodged it, but it didn't make the shock that Hinata actually tried to hurt her boyfriend wear away.

This time Kiba decided to bring some sense to his teammates actions. "HINATA WHAT'S WRONG!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!!" He would have come to his friends aid, but he was held back by Asuma.

"Cause I want to fight." Hinata replied her voice filled with excitement.

Ino didn't understand why Hinata wanted to hurt someone like this. She clutched Sakura tighter to her body for some reassurance. The girl quit crying, but stayed completely still in Ino's arms. If it wasn't for her even breathing she would have thought the worst.

Hinata threw another kunai at Naruto before running towards him. Quickly the blonde went into his fighting stance preparing to fight his girlfriend if you had too.

Suddenly just as Hinata was about to deal the first blow a kunai flew past her face slightly grazing her cheek. She turned her head to see Sakura facing her, with her arm outstreached in her direction.

"Hmm...looks like you can still fight." Hinata stated as she wiped the small amount of blood from her cheek.

Sakura glared at the young Hyuuga before she stood up her body shaking from her injuries. Looking at the other girl she calmly said. "How about you take off this genjutsu now. It's starting to get really annoying."

All the other teens just stared at Sakura like she grew another head. "Sakura what are you talking about? We would have sensed a genjutsu if it was cast." Tenten told her friend confused.

The pink haired girl just shook her head. "This person is not Hinata just a cheap look alike. They put a genjutsu around their outer appearance masking their real self. Only a really good genjutsu expert can do that without anyone noticing, but there are ways of knowing if it's a fake."

The fake Hinata just smirked at the young medic nin. "So what gave me away?" She asked in an childlike voice.

"Well for one you might be an expert at genjutsu, but so am I so I knew right off the back that something was off. Also you didn't research Hinata that well did you? She knew that I was the one that set up her and Naruto, but the expression on your face showed that you didn't know that. Also she would never just jump to conclusions and out right try to kill one of her friends. Last but not least that blow to my chest wasn't the gentle fist style that Hinata uses. More like a chakra enhanced fist to my chest. The others didn't realize it because your attack was too fast for them to see, but I saw it. Which gets me to my next question. Who exactly are you?" Sakura finished her lecture as Ino got up to stand by her side.

Ino looked at her friend in awe. 'Wow she figured all that out by herself! Well she wasn't a brainac for nothing. Damn I should have known that that wasn't Hinata. She would never do that to Sakura. I feel terrible now. I was actually thinking about killing her, well not her more like that person that looks like her.'

"Before I do that cancel out your genjutsu." The fake replied with a small smile.

"What is she talking about Sakura? When did you cast a genjutsu?" Ino asked her still injured friend.

Sakura just smiled lightly at Ino before turning to the fake. "Damn and here I tought I had the object of surprise on my side. I'll agree as long as you give us Hinata."

The fake didn't answer instead she threw a kunai up in the air towards the ceiling. Everyone heard the sound of something being sliced then the sound of an object falling really fast towards the ground. The object was none other than the real Hinata and if no one caught her she would surely perish.

"HINATA!!!" Kiba screamed running towards his best friend as fast as he could. He jumped in the air so that he could reach her quicker. Once he reached her he wrapped his arms around her small frame and flipped around so that his back would smash into the ground instead of Hinata. The ground cracked a little under the pressure making Kiba groaned in pain.

He then realized what he was holding in his arms. "Hinata..." Using the first aid that he learned back in the academy he checked for signs of life. He sighed in relief before turning his head to call out to the others. "Don't worry there's nothing wrong with her! Just knocked out!"

Everyone smiled at that news glad that their friend was okay and that it really wasn't her that was being this evil.

"See I didn't harm her at all. My mission wasn't to kill anyone and I do go by my objectives." The fake said wavering her hand for no reason.

"Well that's a first a bad guy with morales." Ino dryly commented.

The fake chose to ignore her instead turning her attention to Sakura. "So are you going to do your part of the deal?"

"Fine on the count of three." Sakura said raising one hand getting ready to cancel out her jutsu. The fake mirrored her same movements.

"Three..." Sakura started concentrating on her genjutsu.

"Two.." The fake said her voice dripping with excitement.

"ONE! KAI!!" Both girls shouted at the same time releasing both their genjutsu's.

Every injury that Sakura sustained disappeared in thin air like they were never there. Ino realized that they probably were never there in the first place.

'So that was her object of surprise. That's actually a good idea making your enemy think that your too hurt to fight. So when they start going easy on you you attack them full force. They wouldn't know what's coming. Well if the person wasn't an expert at genjutsu anyway.' Ino thought over in her mind.

"What is the meaning of this!" shouted Tsunade bringing Ino out of her train of thought.

She quickly looked at the others who all had looks of disbelief and shock on their faces. Ino glanced at Sakura to see the girl frozen on the spot with her eyes widened in pure surprise. She turned her attention to the fake and just like everyone else her eyes widened in disbelief.

For standing there wasn't Hinata anymore, but a familar pink haired cherry blossom.
