Chapter 11: The truth…

-

-

-

They stood there…waiting for the other one to strike first…

"Che," Kabuto got sick of waiting so he ran towards Sakura with amazing speed. Sakura stood there and analyzed his movements. She preformed a graceful back flip in order to dodge Kabuto's sharp katana. Kabuto smirked before he ran towards Sakura once again; Sakura saw this and she did the same. When he was close enough Kabuto brought his sword down, Sakura narrowed her eyes before she crossed her crescent blades in front of her. The sound of metal against metal rang throughout the forest as the blades met against each other.

'He's fast, I'll give him that' Sakura's thoughts were interrupted by Kabuto's voice.

"My, my Sakura-san…you're crescent blades are the most beautiful weapons I've ever come across," Kabuto smirked when he saw Sakura frown.

"I'd focus on the fight if I were you," Sakura's cold hard voice came out calm…yet it was laced with venom.

Sakura let out a feral growl before she aimed a kick towards Kabuto's side but he broke the contact between their weapons immediately and spun right out of the way of Sakura's kick. Kabuto stopped in a crouching position while Sakura waited for him to come at her again. Kabuto pushed of the ground and swung his sword upwards in an attempt to slice Sakura in half. Sakura countered by blocking his blade with her right crescent blade while the other shot forward and tried to slice Kabuto's throat. Kabuto moved his head out of the way, just barely missing Sakura's attack. Both of them then jumped backwards and assumed their stances once again.

"I have to admit Kabuto…your better than I expected," Sakura let a feral smirk play on her lips while she spoke. But her glare never faltered.

"Why thank you Sakura-san, your not so bad yourself," With that Kabuto took out five daggers and with a flick of his wrist they flew towards Sakura.

Sakura swiftly jumped side ways and landed on the side of a tree; she kept jumping from tree to tree as Kabuto rapidly bombarded her with daggers. She swiftly made her way towards Kabuto as she leapt from tree to tree. There was no sign of pain on her face as a dagger sliced her left arm.

"Hm…she's very agile," Kabuto muttered before he immediately took out another bunch of daggers and threw them at Sakura.

Sakura narrowed her eyes before she pushed off of the tree, she was currently on, and crossed her crescent blades in front of her before spinning in the air and diving towards Kabuto. Sakura let out a battle cry before sliced anything that happened to be underneath her, Kabuto noticed this a bit too late but he was still able to jump out of the way of Sakura's fatal attack. Kabuto's eyes widened slightly as he watched Sakura make two huge slices on the ground in the form of an 'X'.

"Damnit…I missed," Sakura muttered before she got back into her stance. She then smirked when Kabuto's footing faltered a bit.

"Looks like I gave you a little scratch," Sakura watched as Kabuto brought his hand down to his left leg.

'Shit…I have to heal this quickly' Kabuto focused chakra into his palm before he pressed it against his wound. When he lifted his hand up there was no trace of the wound, Sakura's eyes widened at his actions.

"You're a medic? I thought you wouldn't risk using chakra out here," Sakura hissed out her words before she slightly barred her teeth at Kabuto's smiling face.

"Such a scary face Sakura-san…and to answer your question, yes I am a medic and I have no restrictions when it comes to using chakra out in the open," Kabuto's smile widened when he noticed Sakura's slightly horrified face.

"What if people witness you using your chakra?!"

"Well that's simple…I'll kill them,"

Sakura growled ferociously at Kabuto before she sped towards him…

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

"Hoi! Sasuke-teme!" Naruto waved Sasuke over before he could walk out of the schools gate.

"What is dobe?" Sasuke turned around to face Naruto, who came running up to him.

"Coach says we have to go clean up the dojo…since Kiba and them ran off," Naruto scowled while he spoke.

"Che…looks like we'll be going home late again," Sasuke and Naruto made their way back to the dojo.

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

"Hinata, are you all right?" Neji sat on the opposite couch facing his depressed cousin. Hinata just bowed her head and let her hair cover her eyes.

"I-I feel t-that I-I have made a-a grave mistake," Hinata brought her hand up to her eyes and wiped away the tears that escaped her eyes. Neji just let a small, barely visible; smile play on his lips as he watched his younger cousin weep.

"Hinata…when you feel as though you have made a mistake, then you try your best to fix it," Neji got up and let his cousin sort out her thoughts by herself. Hinata watched as Neji left the room.

"Fix t-the m-mistake?" Hinata said these words slowly, as if she were figuring out what each word meant. Suddenly Hinata's eyes widened and a smile graced her lips. Hinata raced over to the phone and dialed in Sakura's number.

"Moshi moshi?"

-

"Ah, S-Sai-kun…is S-Sakura-chan t-there?"

-

"Gomen Hinata, but she is still out…but try again around 7pm okay?"

-

"H-Hai," Hinata put down the phone, her happy mood was slightly brought down but it she was still happy with her decision.

"I-I'm s-sorry Sakura-chan…I'll m-make it u-up to y-y-you somehow," With that said Hinata ran up to her room.

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

"Sai!" Tsunade came out of her medicine room and walked over to Sai.

"Yes Tsunade-sama?"

"Is Sakura home yet? It's already 6pm…" Tsunade placed her hand on her hips while she tried to think of where Sakura could of run off to.

"I'm not sure but let's wait until 7pm and if she isn't home yet then me and lazy over there will go out and look for her," Tsunade smiled and ruffled Sai's hair. She chuckled when Sai gave her a slight glare of annoyance.

"All right then," After saying that Tsunade went back into her medicine room, in order to finish off the new kind of poison she is making.

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

"HAA!" Sakura growled out before she swiped her crescent blades across Kabuto's torso, effectively slicing an 'X' on his abdomen. Kabuto spat out a little bit of blood before he jumped away from Sakura.

"Starting to get bloody are we?" Kabuto laughed as he healed his wound.

"Actually…you're getting bloody," Kabuto stopped laughing as soon as those hostile words escaped Sakura's mouth.

Kabuto snarled at Sakura before he pushed off of the ground and aimed his katana towards her throat. Sakura smirked and ran head on towards Kabuto and when their blades met she was surprised to see that Kabuto's right hand was glowing and she coughed out a bit of blood after he hit her on the left side. She jumped away from him and held her wounded side while she rested on one knee.

"C-Chakra s-scalpel," Sakura managed to cough out those two words. Kabuto just smirked while he watched her struggle to get up and fall back down.

"Yep…we've been fighting for quite a while now…so I thought I'd kick it up a notch," Sakura glared at Kabuto and his cocky attitude.

"Then I guess its time to get serious," Kabuto was surprised when he saw Sakura stand up without a struggle and the fact that her wound was fully healed, no scar whatsoever.

'Crap! I should of known that she would be a medic too! She's Tsunade's apprentice after all! Let's just hope this mistake isn't the cause of my downfall' Kabuto readied his katana once more.

To Kabuto's surprise Sakura threw her crescent blades towards her bag before she tightened the fingerless gloves that covered her hand. She then looked straight at Kabuto with an intense glare.

"Let's do this the old fashioned way…no weapons…just fists…oh and yes we can use chakra," Kabuto faltered a bit at Sakura's strong words but he soon discarded his katana and got his chakra scalpel ready.

"All right Sakura-san," Kabuto gave Sakura a smile before he charged for her.

Sakura and Kabuto moved through the forest with so much agility and speed that if someone were to see them they would just see a bunch of blurs.

Kabuto aimed his chakra scalpel for Sakura's heart but she caught his wrist and then she aimed a powerful punch at Kabuto's stomach. Kabuto saw this so he caught her fist but the problem was that as he caught it he was thrown back into a nearby tree. Sakura smirked before she kissed her fist arrogantly.

"What was that…I blocked your attack," Kabuto wavered as he tried to stand, but after a few seconds he regained hi footing once again.

"Well you see Kabuto…I have superhuman strength…another thing I got from Tsunade," Sakura laughed wickedly before she ran towards Kabuto. Sakura threw another punch but Kabuto jumped out of the way and she ended up punching a tree. Though as Kabuto jumped passed her he touched her left leg with his chakra scalpel. Sakura let out a gasp before she fell to the ground.

"So I'm guessing you used chakra to push me that far away ne?" Kabuto leaned against a tree and wiped the blood away from his mouth after he spoke. The two fighters were covered in the worst bruises a human could probably obtain. There was also a bit of blood here and there.

"I-I'm sorry t-to disappoint you but I didn't use chakra on that punch…that would have been a waste because I knew the chance of my punch being a successful hit was 50-50," Sakura smirked when she saw the look of disbelief cross Kabuto's face. Sakura was tired of just sitting and talking so she healed her leg as fast as she could, but it took quite a bit of chakra. Sakura then stood up and charged at Kabuto with a battle cry.

"Shannaro!" Sakura slammed her fist into the ground where Kabuto stood but he jumped into the air to avoid the flying pieces of earth. Kabuto's eyes widened in shock when he saw the damage Sakura's fist produced. The surrounding were still quite dusty when he landed, Sakura took this opening and slammed her fist into Kabuto's jaw. Once she heard a sickening crack she smirked wickedly. She watched as Kabuto flew through seven trees, all breaking in half once he'd crashed through them.

"Now that was packed with chakra," Sakura winced at the effect of her chakra running low. Sakura took out her one and only soldier pill and swallowed it, she sighed when she felt her chakra increasing a little.

Sakura's eyes shot open as she felt excruciating pain shoot through her torso, she looked down towards her right side only to see Kabuto's katana sticking out of her body. Sakura coughed out a lot of blood before she took hold of the katana with trembling hands and with one swift move…she pulled it right out of her.

"Ugh!" Sakura spat out more blood as discarded the katana.

'Shit…not enough chakra…to heal this big of a wound' Sakura tried to heal her wound but decided against it since she knew she didn't have enough chakra.

"Y-Your one lucky girl, Sakura-san…If I had enough chakra I could of healed myself right away but…unfortunately I'm almost…out," Kabuto limped towards Sakura while he held his right arm. Sakura noticed what a bloody mess Kabuto was. She got into her stance sloppily as Kabuto neared her.

"Looks like…ugh-t-this battle is almost o-over n-ne?" Kabuto struggled to stand up straight, but once he had he lit his left hand with chakra and with his last bit of strength…he sped towards Sakura.

"HAAA!" Kabuto cried out as he neared Sakura…

-

"Shannaro!" Sakura cried out as she neared Kabuto…

-

-

With those battle cries the two collided…

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

"Sakura…" Tsunade reached over to her cup but her eyebrows furrowed when it cracked.

"Ugly?" Sai looked up from his painting as he felt something in his gut that told him something was terribly wrong.

"Sakura" Shikamaru sat up from his lazy position as he adverted his eyes towards the window…something was definitely wrong.

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

Crash!

"Hinata! Are all right?" Neji came running into the kitchen only to see a frozen Hinata and a broken plate on the ground.

"I-I just h-had a v-very strong…f-feeling that s-something t-t-terrible happened-Oh no…Sakura!" Hinata dropped everything that she was doing and ran up the stairs and into her room. She immediately looked at the time.

-

7.05pm

-

"I'll g-go o-o-over and s-s-see if she's o-okay," Hinata quickly grabbed her small bag and raced out of the hyuuga estate.

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

"Whoa! Hey Teme! Look over there! The forest at the back of the school looks like its covered in a huge dust cloud! And the birds are flying away from a certain place!" Sasuke sighed and wiped off the sweat on his brow before he went over to where Naruto stood. To his surprise Naruto wasn't making it up…it seemed like there was a fight happening in the forest.

"Ne, Ne! You wana check it out?!" Naruto jumped up and down like an idiot. Sasuke was about to agree but then he saw the time, 7.05pm.

"Not this time Naruto…we have to finish up…c'mon let's just put away the mops and then we can go," Naruto frowned at Sasuke for a little while, but soon he just grinned and got to finishing off his cleaning duty.

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

"Ugh!" Sakura lay on the ground, coughing up huge amounts of blood. Her whole body was covered in cuts, bruises, dried blood, fresh blood…you name it and its there.

"Shit…if I d-don't get some help soon…I'll die of b-blood loss-UGH!" Sakura curled into a ball as unbearable pain coursed through her entire body. Sakura lifted up her half –lidded eyes so she could look for Kabuto. She saw him leaning lifelessly onto a tree trunk…his whole body seemed to be just as messed up as her own. Sakura could see her motorbike…just a few meters away from her.

"Got…to…escape…before that bastard wakes…up-Gah!" Sakura immediately pressed an arm around her mid-section as another round of pain shot through her body.

"I-I…can't even…walk," Sakura laughed bitterly at how pathetic she must have looked right now. Sakura gathered up the last bit of energy she had and crawled towards her bike. She let out a cry every now and then when her body would accidentally hit or scrape against something. The sky was also dark so it was hard to see.

"J-Just a few more inches-yes!" Sakura's face scrunched up and pain as she hauled herself onto her motorbike. Once Sakura got on she slumped against the handles…and she could feel herself and the bike…falling to the side. Her eyes widened in horror.

'Damnit! If I fall the bike will crush my left leg!' Sakura summoned the very last bit of her chakra and pumped it into her left leg, but as her leg steadied herself and the bike she felt another wave of pain go up her leg.

"Don't have…much time," Sakura placed her trembling hands onto the handles and revved her engine. She let a pained smile play on her lips as she heard her bike roar to life. Sakura tried to ignore the feel of her raw skin touching the surfaces of her bike…because it hurt like hell. Sakura rode out of the forest, but then she turned her bike around.

'Damnit…' Sakura rode deeper into the forest once again. After she found her school bag she painfully reached down and grabbed it…then she rode out of the forest.

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

"Okay! Night Teme! Don't get raped on the way home ya hear?" Naruto yelled to Sasuke as he walked in the opposite direction.

"Just go home Dobe!" Naruto snickered when he heard Sasuke's retort.

"Man…Kiba that bastard…making me and Naruto stay behind to clean up the dojo…when it's their turn," Sasuke sighed and stuck his hands into his pockets. Sasuke was walking up his street when he heard a motorbike coming from behind. Sasuke just looked back but he did a double take when he noticed that the motorbike was coming right at him. He jumped out of the way as the motorbike hit the sidewalk and it threw the rider onto the concrete.

"Ugh!" the person skidded across the concrete before coughing out some more blood. Sasuke panicked when he saw this so he ran up to the person to check if they were still alive.

"Hey! Hey are okay?" Sasuke's stern voice echoed through the street as he turned the person over…he froze when he saw…a head full of pink hair.

"Sakura! Hey Sakura! Wake up!" Sasuke tried to wake up Sakura but he noticed that she looked like she went through hell and back.

Sasuke mad a move to carry her but she grabbed onto his school collar. She seemed to be half unconscious.

"Hey bastard…whoever you are…take my bike with us…" Sakura then closed her eyes again before she fell limp in Sasuke's arms. Sasuke was a bit confused but he pushed all his questions to the back of his head.

'I'll question her later…right now I have to help her' Sasuke carried Sakura onto her bike and then he got on behind her. He made sure that she was leaning on him safely before he rode the bike to his house.

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

Back in the forest where Kabuto lay…his hand twitched…

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Hinata?" Shikamaru opened the door only to come face to face with a very worried Hinata.

"M-May I c-come in?" Shikamaru nodded his head and opened the door wider for Hinata.

"Is S-Sakura-chan home?"

"I'm sorry Hinata but she isn't home yet…but I would like to discuss something with you," Sai spoke in such a serious voice that it made Hinata want to run all the way back home.

"W-What is it?" Sai sat down on the couch next to Shikamaru, while Hinata sat on the couch opposite of them.

"We want you to know the reason Sakura joined the ANBU…and why she hid it from you," Hinata's eyes widened when she heard Sai's words.

"T-Then you two-?"

"Hai we are…so is Tsunade-sama," Shikamaru answered this time.

"Anyway…here's the story…"

Oooooooooooooo

OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO

Oooooooooooooo

After Sasuke was done with cleaning and bandaging Sakura up he sat on a chair next to her bed. He watched her sleep and he let his eyes soften at the sight of her sleeping peacefully.

-

-

-

2 hours later…

-

"Ugh…w-where am I?" Sakura tried to sit up but she let out a cry of pain instead. Sasuke immediately woke up from his nap and pushed Sakura back down on the bed.

"Sakura, try not to move as much as possible," Sasuke commanded but all he got in return was an intense glare. Sasuke was more than surprised to see this side of Sakura.

"Who are you? Answer me before I stick a dagger down your throat," Sakura squinted her eyes but since it was so dark she couldn't see anything…just a mere outline of a person. Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Sakura's words.

"So you are the person I saw back there…the one who saved Hinata and…killed that man," Sakura's eyes bulged out of their sockets when she took in what the person said.

"S-Sasuke?" Sakura's voice was hesitant and unsure.

"Yes Sakura, it's me," Sasuke smirked when Sakura slapped her face with her palm…but she immediately regretted the action. Sakura was thankful when Sasuke opened the lights.

"So…you helped me?" Sakura asked while she looked over her body, only to see it covered in bandages.

"Hai…now I would like an explanation from you-"

"Where's my bike?!" Sakura looked around and she started to panic when she didn't see her bike anywhere. Sasuke just sighed and looked at Sakura.

"Your bike is in my garage…it's not like I can take it in the house-Hey! Don't change the subject," Sakura cursed when Sasuke found out what she was really trying to do.

"Fine…I'll explain…but, you have to tell me your story too," Sasuke was surprised as Sakura's words.

"What do you mean? I don't have a story-"

"I can see pain in your eyes Sasuke…I want to know why," Sakura spoke with a stern voice, which also meant that she wasn't going to back down anytime soon. Sasuke just sighed and agreed.

"Hold on…let me just fix myself," Sasuke didn't know what Sakura meant so he just watched as she sat up and her hands started glowing green.

"Damnit…I've only recovered part of my chakra…I'll try and heal the fatal wounds before they get infected," Even though Sakura spoke to herself, Sasuke heard every word and his couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Wait did you say chakra?"

"Hai, I believe so,"

"But isn't that only used by ninjas?"

"I'll explain later…just wait a few more minutes," Sasuke nodded and opted to watch as Sakura's hands healed the wound on her side. Sasuke watched with disbelieving eyes as her huge wound started to slowly fade into nothing but a barely visible pink line. But when Sakura stopped she was panting quite heavily.

"Don't over do it…you'll just get hurt," Sasuke spoke calmly as he handed Sakura a glass of water, which gratefully drank.

"Okay…what I'm about to tell you is top secret…tell anyone and I'll personally kill you," Sasuke noticed how Sakura's eyes were sharper and they seemed be deadlier than any killer out there. A shiver ran up his spine when Sakura's voice came out calm and confident. He could never believe that this was the same nerdy Sakura he met in school.

"When I was 5 years old, a man named Orochimaru broke into my home one day. He brutally stabbed my father in the heart and he slit my mother's throat in front of me…you see my mother was an ANBU spy who was assigned to work under Orochimaru in order to get information…but he soon found out and he went after her family. He also tried to kill me but Tsunade…Tsunade saved me and then she took me in. I wanted to get back at Orochimaru so I left Konoha to train with her…I was an ANBU member by the time I turned 10. But the ANBU only assassinate criminals…we do not kill innocent people," Sakura's head was lowered and her hair covered her eyes, she spoke with an even voice but you could still feel the emotion in her words.

Sasuke just stared wide-eyed at Sakura…he couldn't believe how much she's been through…and at such an early age. He was at a loss for words.

"Tsunade isn't my mother…but I treat her as one, she is my master…and the leader of the ANBU organization. I am on the same level as her in medicine…and in combat. We only came back to Konoha because Orochimaru is acting up again, oh and I only portray the image of a high school nerd because I thought it would not earn me a lot of attention…but it seems that I was wrong. I could of taken you, Ino, and Kiba down in 2 seconds flat but I wasn't allowed to, so consider yourself lucky," Sakura noticed the slight glare in Sasuke's eyes…but she only smirked.

"Oh and by the way sasuke…ninjustsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and Kekkei Genkai's are still used in the ANBU world…though we are forbidden from using them unless absolutely necessary," Sakura could only smile at the incredulous looks Sasuke sent her.

"Anyway…what are your special abilities Sakura?" Sasuke crossed his arms across his chest as he regained his composure. He gave Sakura an even look.

"Well, I excel in everything…but my main specialties are medicine and superhuman strength," Sasuke just choked a bit when he heard the last two words.

'I'll believe it when I see it' thought sasuke.

"Anyway sasuke…it's your turn," Sakura shifted her sitting position so she was directly in front of Sasuke. Sasuke just raised an eyebrow at her.

"Well when I was young my father went to America with my brother…you see my brother needed to study abroad so he could obtain more information about business…I was left here with my mother and she was one of my most precious people. But one day when we were at a shopping mall there was a robbery…and a man aimed his gun at me but my mother embraced me as soon as he pulled the trigger. She took a bullet for me that day…and she died in my arms that day," Sakura's eyes softened as Sasuke lowered his head so you couldn't see his eyes.

"What about your brother and father?" Sakura out stretched her hand and tilted up Sasuke's chin, Sasuke just looked at her with emotionless eyes before he gently pushed her hand away.

"They came home for the funeral…but they left for the states again…they still live there today,"

"What's your brother's name?"

"Itachi, Uchiha Itachi," Sakura's whole body froze after hearing that name. Sasuke looked up to see Sakura's horrified looking eyes.

"Uchiha…Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Sasuke," Sakura whispered these words before she stared seriously into Sasuke's eyes.

"Sasuke, within you…lies one of the most ancient bloodlines," Sakura spoke in such a serious tone that Sasuke was starting to get confused.

"What do you mean? My family doesn't possess any Kekkei Genkai's and I thought they…didn't really exist," Sasuke stared straight into sakura's eyes. But he could tell that she was being dead serious.
