Thank you to everyone who reviewed my last chapter!

Recap:

"Were they taking in seriously?" Kakashi asked Kakazu.

"If they were, there would no training grounds." he replied walking away from him.

"Sakura had gotten stronger." Kakashi said to himself.

Shikamaru watched as Sakura healed the other Uchia. Itachi was watching Sakura the whole time.

"Let's see how the newbie's do." Suzaku said watching their every action. "The first fight shall be between." he paused.

"Gaara and Kakashi." he said receiving all eyes on him, including Sakura.

"KAKA-SENSEI!!!!" Naruto cheered as the two made their way to what was left of the training field.

"We should make this more interesting." Kisame said to Suzaku.

"How?" he asked.

"Sakura versus one of her old teammates." he suggested.

"Good idea Kisame. Kakashi and Gaara, you are not fighting." he told the two.

On the inside Kakashi was cheering madly, he really didn't want to fight against Shukaku.

"Instead." he started. "Our cherry blossom and Shikamoru." he said.

"Shikamaru." Shikamaru corrected.

"Whatever. Both of you come to the middle." he said disappearing.

Sakura didn't move from her spot.

Shikamaru moved but on the inside he didn't want to.

"Go beat his ass blossom, yeah." Diedara said pushing her to the field.

Akako gave the blonde a hard glare. As soon as the glare was there, it was gone.

Akako sat down on the ground and crossed her legs.

'Breathe in. Breathe out.' Akako thought as she took deep breathes.

"BEAT HIS ASS!!!!!" her inner screamed.

"BEGIN!" Kisame shouted startling Shikamaru.

Sakura opened her eyes. This caught everyone's attention.

Her eyes were not her normal dull emerald green; instead a bright gold replaced them.

"What the?" Neji and Gaara asked to themselves.

"Watch and see what out blossom can really do." Itachi said smirking.

Shikamaru quickly drew out a kunai; Sakura in return drew out a katana.

Sakura was he first to charge. Filling her katana with chakra, she came down on her 'brother' with nothing holding back.

Shikamaru held up his kunai to block, but it was cut in half by the force. He barley dodged the attack so he wouldn't be cut in half.

Sakura closed her eyes as Shikamaru delivered many kicks and punches.

Sakura let down her guard for a second; Shikamaru saw this and delivered a strong punch in the weakest spot, which was her stomach.

Sakura was sent a few yards back but quickly got up. She finally opened her eyes to reveal blood red.

This freaked out Shikamaru.

"What with the eyes?" Naruto asked Kakashi. "She looks like me when I release the Kuuybi's chakra."

"She's identifying him." Kisame said not taking his eyes away from the battle. "Normally she doesn't do this but she does not know what he is capable of. Just call it a gekki genki." (sp?) He finished.

Kakashi returned his attention back the battle.

Shikamaru charged at Sakura with a kunai in hand. Sakura stood her ground, kunai also in her hand.

Shikamaru came close enough; Sakura threw the kunai at him and landed in his chest.

'Shikamaru' turned into a puff of smoke; this made Sakura look around the whole field. Before she knew it, she was sent up in the air.

Shikamaru came out of the ground and landed a kick on her chin, sending her upwards. Shikamaru jumped into the air and came up behind her.

Before Shikamaru could do anything, Sakura spun around and gave him a chakra filled punched sending up back to the earth.

Shikamaru landed creating a large crater. Sakura came down and landed beside the crater.

"Troublesome." Shikamaru muttered as he used Kage Mane no jutsu (sp?)

Sakura was soon being controlled by him shadows.

"WHOO!!! GO SHIKA!" Ino screamed.

Before he could do anything, pain was sent throughout his whole body.

"Release!" he screamed freeing the black haired kunoichi from the shadows.

"SHIKA!!!" Ino screamed trying to run to him but Kiba and Shino held her back.

Sakura kneeled by him, he closed his eyes expecting the worst. Instead he felt all his pain go away. He opened his eyes and saw her healing him.

"Why are you-?" he was cut off.

"Because I'm still weak." she said quietly finishing healing him. Soon she was done and she walked to the sidelines and leaned against a tree closing her dull emerald eyes.

"Next fight." Suzaku began.

"Let's take a break." Itachi said.

"As you wish." Suzaku replied eyeing the older Uchia.

Everyone made their way to their designated rooms and took care of what they needed to do.

2:00 AM

A scream was sent through threw the Akatsuki base, which woke up all the males.

The 'newbie's had no clue what to do so they stayed where they were, all the heard was more screams and several people running.

Itachi and Deidara made their way to Sakura's room.

"It's locked." Deidara said cautiously.

"Knock it down." Itachi hissed.

"She'll kill me." Deidara shuddered at the thought.

Itachi pushed the blonde away and knocked the door down with a simple punch.

They both walked in to see their black haired comrade tossing and turned in her bed drenched in sweat.

"Saku-chan, yeah?" Deidara asked shaking her.

"Another nightmare?" Kisame asked walking into the room rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah, I still can't forget her last nightmare, yeah." Deidara shuddered.

"So what should we do?" Kisame asked poking the shaking girl.

"What's going on?" Kakashi asked from the doorway.

"Go back to your room." Kisame said.

"I have a right to know." he defended.

"She's having another nightmare." Itachi said facing him.

"Another?" he asked.

"She started getting nightmares a few months ago, now they're gettin' worse." Kisame said still poking her.

Kakashi made his way passed the three Akatsuki members and sat by Sakura.

"Sakura?" he whispered.

Sakura stopped shaking.

"Wake up, it's all a dream." he whispered again.

Itachi, Deidara, and Kisame watched the copy-nin soothed the girl.

Sakura soon came back to reality and came face to face with her old-sensei.

"What was this dream about?" Kisame asked.

Sakura closed her eyes and started to cry for the first time in two years.

Kakashi held her as she cried into his shoulder.
