K.L.K- please suggest any pairing! I dunno which way to go. O! I own nothing, so BLAH TO LAWYERS! Ch.14 starts NOW!

Tsunade gaped. she blinked several times, then rubed her eyes. it WAS Sakura! nobody could fake her chakra signature! she shot out of her seat and clutched the girl tightly, surprising the Pinkette immensly, enough to let out a gasp.

"T-Tsunade-Shishou?" she stuttered, then tentatively wrapped her arms around the woman.

"Sakura-chan." there were tears streaming down the blonde-woman's face. "y-You're back... you're f-finally back..."

Sakura comforted her teacher until she sat down, fully calm. "ask anything, Shishou. I'll answer it the best I can."

the woman smiled at her, and then sighed. "are you here to stay?"

Sakura nodded. "Hai."

a grin cracked across the Hokage's face. "well, then. I have to tell your team, ne?"

the pink-haired Kunoichi cracked a grin of her own. "Hai, they'll be ecstatic!"

soon enough, Team seven stood in the office, not noticing Sakura standing idly in a corner. Tsunade pulled her over, and they all gasped.

"S-Sakura?" Kakashi's lone eye widened in surprise.

"S-SAKURA-CHAN?!" Naruto screamed.

"Hag! you're back!" Sai grinned.

"S-Sakura." Sasuke whispered.

"Hey, how is everyone?" she smiled at them, and Naruto and Sasuke latched onto her waist in a tight vice-grip of a hug, Sai threw his arms around her neck and Kakashi ruffled her hair. she was quite flustered by that point, too. "wow. was I really gone that long?" boy, was she glad she hid the tail and her ears! she looked like a normal person now.

"YES!" they all shouted, getting her to sweatdrop.

"uhh... gomen?" she blinked. "...it's getting kinda hard to breathe, you guys." she laughed to the three males latched onto her frame and they let go with slight blush.

"yes, well," Tsunade interjected. "don't you want to go home, Sakura-chan?"

the pinkette blinked. "oh! I'd better do that..." she grinned at the others. "seeya later! possibly for training...?"

they nodded, and she gave a wave and dissapeared in her signature teleportation jutsu.

she reappeared in her house, in the living room and immidiately scaring the living crap out of all the Akatsuki that were lazing about there.

"what the FUCKING HELL! SAKURA, I'M GONNA SACRIFICE YO-- Sakura?!" Hidan shouted, then lost steam. he hadn't seen her for over TWO YEARS.

"S-Sakura-chan? is...is that really YOU?!" Deidara asked, his blue eye wide.

"Hai, it's really me." she smiled, and all of a sudden he latched onto her, burying his nose into her neck. she could feel the tears sliding down her skin, wetting her shirt, and stared wide-eyes at the usually happy, and peppy pyro. "D-Deidara?" she asked as she put a hand on his back, rubbing circles there to calm him down. it worked to a certain extent, however.

'woah. he missed us alot, ne?' Inner said, her eyes wide.

'yep.' Outer nodded mentally.

'I'd guess so. I think he likes youuu...' Usui teased.

'URASAI!!' they both yelled at the laughing demon.

"S-Saku-chan... w-why'd y-you have to g-go?" he cried into her shoulder, muffled bit by her skin.

"well..." her smile dimmed and turned bitter. "I'm sure Pein-sama can tell you why." her tone was grim.

Pein nodded. "well, Sakura is a container for the ten-tailed demon Kitsune Usui. she left two and a half years ago due to the fact she wanted to control it better, and get over her...less than tasteful past."

"it couldn't be any worse than some of ours." Kisame shrugged.

"yes, it can Kisame." her hallow voice responded, her eyes empty except for a tiny bit of sadness and self-hate. "I killed my own parents, and watched my full clan die because of Orochimaru, and that was at the age of five. my mother verbally and physically abused me, I was beaten up often by other kids and they would try to kill me if I would retailiate. now do you think my past is nothing to sniff at?" her eyes turned hard, her face strained slightly.

he faltered. "S-Sakura-chan...?" he whispered.

"at least you don't have to hide what you actually look like." she muttered under her breath. Deidara stared at her, and took a few steps away. "leave me be." she muttered loud enough for them to hear as she closed the door to her room.

they all looked at each other. "Leader-sama? what did she mean?" Konan asked.

he looked at her briefly with his rinnegan eyes filled with a small bit of sorrow. "she isn't the same Sakura we knew. when she left, she became a assasin. a assasin named the Black Kitsune." he went to his room, thinking hard. eveyone left to go ponder this in thier own living places. the next morning she was gone and had left a note that said she was at training.

with the pinkette, she was slumped against the bridge where they all still met, her gaze lazy as she waited for her teammates. she closed her eyes and fell into a light sleep, going over when she had been the innocent little Sakura- well, not all innocent- but when she hadn't been disgusted with herself, almost able to feel her parent's blood on her pale hands, and the rest of her clan's. if she had been just a little stronger back then...

her fist tightened as she re-lived the deaths, the feel of that snake-like tongue lapping off the still-oxidized blood from her bruised and damaged skin, the cold serpent wrapped around her, holding her in place as she watched all the deaths that had killed her clan. she remembered alot of the killings she had done, but they all faded into grey soon enough. she didn't regret it; it was just a job.

a few muffled footsteps caused her to slit a green eye open. Sasuke was early, it seems. she nodded in silent aknowledgement, which he returned with a slight grunt. he sat beside her, and sighed after about thirty minutes of blessed silence.

"so... are you okay?" he asked the pinkette.

"as fine as I'll ever be." she retorted tonelessly.

"...do you want to share anything?" he asked after five minutes of silence.

"no." she sighed, closing her eyes again.

"..." two minutes later, he couldn't take the silence that seemed to follow the pinkette everywhere. "so...where did you live during the two and a half years?"

she shot a uninterested, lazy glance at him. "in a cave... more like my den, as it were."

he nodded. "Aa..."

suddenly a ANBU poofed up. "Lady Tsunade has a mission for you Sakura-san."

she nodded. "hai." then she poofed off before the ANBU could. she reappeared in the Hokage's office. "Hai, Shishou?"

the blonde looked over at her. "I need you to deliver a package to the land of birds." she pointed to the package on her desk.

"Hai." she nodded.

"you leave in two hours, take this with you." she tossed the scroll and the pinkette caught it effortlessly, and poofed off to her home. all she saw in the family room was... Itachi. he moved in front of her when she tried to move past.

"why didn't you look me in the eye when you passed my face when you came back?" he demanded emotionlessly.

she gave a equally blank look to him. "remember when I was three. you stopped that bunch of children from killing me. Itachi, try to remember that." she smirked inwardly as his eyes widened a tiny bit, and she was able to brush by him, and go to her room. she packed all the nessecary things, and walked to the kitchen to get some food.

Kisame, Deidara, and the rest looked up at her when she walked in. "Pinkie-chan, where are you going?" Tobi shouted after he had glomped her.

she gave him a uninterested stare. "I'm going on a mission to deliver a package to the Land of Birds." she shrugged, then got some non-perishable food and placed it in her napsack, and took out her only remaining mask, and slid it on, her hair turning black and the fox details thankfully non-exsistant at the moment.

"interesting genjutsu." Itachi spoke.

she nodded, not looking at him. "Aa. it's a easy one for me to use." she shrugged, then slung the pack over her shoulder, and poofed off to the gates. she walked out of them, and feeling the weight of the package in her napsack, she went off in a speed even the sharingan would have extreme trouble following, and that was without chakra.

half a week later, she had delivered the package, and was a qaurter of the way back to Konoha. she stopped when she suddenly stepped left, avoiding the snake that had launched itself at her. Orochimaru smirked as he strolled launguidly out of the bushes and trees, stopping right in front of the blossom. all of a sudden Kabuto sprung at her and made a long string of handsigns, then tapped her- okay, more like bashed her- in the stomach.

'what the- what was that for!?' Inner Sakura steamed.

she gasped as she fell to the ground, panting. "w-what the hell did y-you do, y-you bastard?!" she ground out. 'ow! this isn't right.. this is not normal pain...'

'I know! I dunno what the hell this is! ARGH!' Inner Sakura was running around in a panic.

'I haven't any idea either...' Usui calmly said. 'it isn't life threatening, kit.'

'oh, thank Kami-sama for that!' Outer sighed in relief.

he chuckled. "you'll see, Blossom."

with that, her world fell into darkness, but there was a tingly sensation all over her body, much like the feet of many ants or spiders tip-toeing across her pale skin.

Orochimaru and Kabuto smirked, then left her there as she faded slightly. thier work was done, and she was thier test-subject to the new jutsu they had created especially for her.

K.L.K- O.O WHAT IN THE HELL?! I have REALLY got to stop spacing out when I write!

Sakura- no duh! NO WHAT THE HELL DID THAT THING DO?!

K.L.K- well, you'll see next chapter. sorry if this seemed awfully short...I think this is long enough, ne?

(1)- a eye-type, that has to deal with the eyes. (Doujutsu)

(2)- a type where she can control elements.

(3)- a shadow ability- (EXAMPLE: like the Nara clan, but different)

(4)- something to do with animals. (AKA special summon or other)

Sakura- wow...

K.L.K- well, I think I already have the perfect bloodlimit for Saku-chan! (grins) and notice that Usui doesn't help her fight. she's more... eh... passive than Kyuubi or Shukaku. she won't help Sakura fight, either, she'll just help heal her when she herself can't, and lend her chakra so she doesn't die from not having enough.

Sakura- ohh. that's why you're giving her a bloodlimit!

K.L.K- Aa. you get it now. well, PLEASE REVIEW!
