New chapter, since I'm done with my first fic, I guess I'll take it slow and update my fics at a slower pace. My new fan fic will probably be posted and it would be updated at about every 2-3 weeks.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Sakura watched as Sasuke threw kunai and shuriken right onto the bulls eye. She nodded and called out "Keep your hands straight while throwing or it'll end up swerving, Sasuke!"

The young boy, looked at her and an annoyed look crossed his face. She shot him a glare, and immediately he threw his own glare back at her.

"Sasuke, stop acting like you know everything, you still need to practice no matter how good you are at this. I thought you wanted to train." Sakura said exasperatingly as she watched her younger self stare at Sasuke curiously.

"I got it... I got it..." Sasuke mumbled as he threw another round of shuriken at the target.

A few more minutes of throwing the shuriken and kunai at different angles, Sakura stopped Sasuke just as he was about to throw another round of kunai and the badly scratched targets.

"Sasuke! Ready to spar now?" Sakura called out as she brought herself to a stance. The young boy smirked and he ran towards her quickly, proving his talent for speed shown when he was older, his hands curled into a fist.

He threw a punch at Sakura which she caught easily and flipped him over her shoulder, he retaliated by using his large wings to push himself back up and he threw a kick towards her face. The pinkette dodged and swiped her fist towards the young boy which he dodged although her fist had brushed his side very slightly.

He winced visibly as the chakra was transferred to his body from that slight moment of contact. Gritting his teeth, he flipped forward onto one of his arms and spun his legs towards the older girl's abdomen.

She caught his leg and threw him up in the air, which he took the chance to open up his wings and glide through the air. Sakura smirked and suddenly she poofed away, catching the boy off guard.

He suddenly saw a large shadow on top of him and he looked up, only to see Sakura's leg smash down on him in a powerful axe kick. He landed on the ground with a painful shockwave radiating around the ground around him.

He coughed out blood and tried to stand but sharp pain ran through his spine and he gasped in pain before collapsing down, his breathing ragged and unsteady.

Sakura landed on the ground and ran towards him quickly. "Oh kami, I'm so sorry Sasuke! I'm so used to automatically bringing chakra into my attacks I accidently used it on you. I'm so sorry!" She apologized as she quickly picked him up and laid him on the grass.

He coughed again and looked at her weakly before muttering "You... could have warned... me before..." He gripped her shirt tightly when another strike of pain ran through his chest this time, before his eyes fluttered shut and he lost consciousness.

Sakura immediately probed his body to find the damage she caused to the young boy. She sighed deeply when she found two broken ribs, a small crack in the middle of the spine and some other minor bone damage.

Supporting the younger boy, she carefully wiped off the blood from his lips and poured some water into his mouth from her canister. Then propping him on a large rock near the field, she charged her hand with warm healing chakra and brought it to younger boy's injury.

A small smile passed her lips when she heard a quiet sigh of relief escape his mouth. Quickly mending back the cracked bones and setting his ribs back in place, she made sure the minor injuries were to naturally heal after finishing everything else.

Brushing back a loose lock of his pale blue hair, she wiped off the thin sheen of sweat that covered his forehead with a cool cloth before standing up and dusting off her hands.

"Uhm... Bara onee-chan... Is Sasuke-kun ok?" Younger Sakura asked as she inched closer to the unconscious boy. Sakura looked at her younger self and smiled before replying "Don't worry, he's fine. I made sure that he's going to be ok."

Younger Sakura nodded her head shyly and quietly mumbled "When I'm older... I want to be a medic.. just like you." She smiled nervously and was thrown into surprise when the older girl ruffled her hair and answered "Just follow you're dreams and never give up. I learned that from one of my friends."

The nervous smile turned into a large joyful grin.

"Now, let's bring Sasuke home, his family's been worrying about him." Sakura said with a smile as she picked up the young boy carefully and leapt into the trees, quickly running to the Uchiha castle.

Jumping up onto the open window of the younger boy's room, she quickly switched his clothes (being that she was a medic, naked bodies really didn't matter) and set him gently on his bed and pulled up the covers.

Leaping back down, she saw her younger self wandering around nervously. Gesturing her to follow, she pulled the younger girl onto her back and snuck through the door, slipping down hallways and stairways before she got to Sasuke's door.

Younger Sakura slipped down and eyed the door curiously until she saw the simple sign that hung on the door reading 'Sasuke'.

"Bara onee-chan, this is Sasuke-kun's room?" Younger Sakura asked, her eyes glimmering with hidden excitement. Sakura nodded and opened the door, letting the younger girl in.

Soon after, Itachi came, holding a tray of simple onigiri. He looked up and saw the pinkette standing next to door, looking bored.

"What are you doing here?" He asked, as his hand reached to grab the doorknob. The pinkette glanced at the door and replied calmly "My younger self is in there visiting your brother. We used to be friends until I stopped seeing him. Sasuke's sleeping because he fell unconscious when I put a little too much chakra in my kick... but don't worry he's completely fine! I healed everything!"

Itachi looked suspicious, but he opened the door and saw his younger brother rubbing his eyes tiredly as a smaller pinkette hugged him tightly.

Setting the platter down next to the younger Uchiha, he looked at his brother and said "Okaa-san said that you should eat lunch, Sasuke.."

The boy looked sick, as he set his hand gently on his stomach and replied with a grimace "But my stomach hurts... I don't want to eat."

The older pinkette walked in and closed the door shut, striding over to the boy's bed and plopping down next to him. She pushed off his covers and pulled up his shirt, much to the younger boy's embarrassment, inspecting the black mark, permanently tatooed onto his stomach.

It was pulsing with chakra, glowing an ominous dark purple. Clearly it was harming Sasuke, yet he hid it from everyone until now.

"The Fuin no Ryu is acting up... time's almost up..." Sakura mumbled as she gently poked the mark, causing the young Uchiha to shift uncomfortably.

Itachi looked at her sharply and asked "The Fuin no Ryu? What do you mean time's almost up?" he looked at the older girl cautiously, his arm automatically reaching up to grasp his younger brother's shoulder protectively.

"I'll explain it to you later. Just not in front of them." Sakura said seriously as she pulled Sasuke's shirt back down and mussed his hair slightly. Itachi nodded but looked doubtful, he stood up and smiled softly at Sasuke, saying "Just try to eat, even if your stomach hurts. Okaa-san doesn't want you to be hungry later."

With that he left the room with a soft click.

Younger Sakura looked confused but said nothing as the older pinkette scooped her up in an embrace and said "Sorry Sakura, you have to go home. I need to talk to Sasuke and Itachi nii-san, ok?"

Jumping out the window, she landed carefully on the ground and set down her younger self. The small girl gave the older girl one last look before she ran off to the direction of her house.

Sakura was back in Sasuke's room after her younger self left. The young boy, actually looked sick, his skin several shades paler and his eyes were slightly glazed over in pain.

Sitting next to him, she gently pushed him back down onto his bed and this time carefully slipped off his shirt. Sasuke looked at her, slightly embarrassed and confused before asking quietly "What are you doing, Sakura?"

Sakura shook her head and replied with a small smile, "Just checking up on your condition, I know this mark's been bringing you pain for the past few days." She carefully prodded the mark, making the younger boy laugh slightly from the ticklish feeling.

Adding a little pressure to the mark, she looked up and asked "Does it hurt, Sasuke?"

He nodded slightly and flinched when the older girl added even more pressure to the mark. She suddenly took her hands off his stomach and sighed.

"Sasuke, I know you probably won't believe me, but trust me please. If I add a little chakra into that mark of yours, you'll turn into a dragon, and not only that it's going to be very painful. Do you understand?" She explained, as she brought her palm back to his stomach.

Sasuke looked truly afraid but he nodded his head slightly. Sakura smiled reassuringly and said "Don't tell anyone about this, your parents will find out later on in the future. I promise that I'll try to make this as painless as possible, but if it really hurts, bite on this."

She pulled out a clean rag and gave it to Sasuke, which he took carefully and bit on.

Standing up, Sakura walked to the door and made sure it was locked, before plopping back down on the Uchiha's bed.

She set her palm onto his stomach and asked "Are you ready Sasuke?" The boy nodded quietly, nervousness and fright clearly showing in his eyes.

Sakura brushed back a lock of his hair and grinned slightly "It's ok to be afraid Sasuke, everyone has to have something that they're afraid of. Now, let's get started..."

She applied a tiny bit of pressure onto the mark before carefully transferring chakra into it. Almost immediately, Sasuke's body went rigid and small cry of pain came out muffled from the rag he was biting on.

Sakura gently eased her right hand onto his back, knowing that the transformation began at the wings, and she washed warm healing chakra all over his shoulder blades and his spine.

She carefully used her left hand to massage the mark on his stomach, easing a little bit of her healing chakra into the mark.

She watched as his wings cracked and shifted into that of his dragon's wings and scales pushing out if his skin again.

A muffled cry of pain escaped Sasuke's mouth again and he closed his eyes tightly. Sakura slowly brought her chakra to cover the majority of his body and immediately he relaxed slightly.

She had never saw what happened to Sasuke after this part of the transformation, so she carefully inspected the boy as his spine began to stretch and lengthen, a tail forming at the end of his tailbone.

She watched as the Uchiha looked horrified at what was happening to him, his eyes welling up in tears as his neck stretched out and his arms and legs began to turn into the powerful claws of a dragon.

His hair had spread to the majority of his spine, darkening to the raven color of his normal hair color.

Finally it was his face that had undergone the transformation last. The rag dropped out of his mouth as he let out a choked breath, and his mouth and nose stretched to become a dragon's snout and his eyes darkening to his normal onyx although his pupil stretched out into slits.

Stopping the flow of chakra surrounding his body, Sakura stood up and asked "How do you feel Sasuke?"

The boy, now dragon, shook his head as the tears that were welling up his eyes, dripped down his face.

Sakura's eyes softened as she watched him curl up and start crying, she sat back down and embraced the young dragon, stroking his soft raven fur, murmuring "It's ok now Sasuke, you're fine now..."

The small dragon let out a hiccup and trembled beneath her arms, letting out all those tears he had built up and hid from everyone.

Sakura continued to soothe him and rub comforting circles on his back until he slowly stopped crying and pulled out of her embrace.

The sound of the doorknob jiggling and a key being inserted into the door caused Sakura to snap her head to the door.

She let out her breath when she saw that it was just Itachi. The said teenager, could only stare disbelievingly at the small onyx dragon sitting on his brother's bed.

Walking in, he quickly shut the door and asked "Where is my brother and what did you do to him?"

Sakura glanced at him and said "I didn't do anything, it was mostly the work of Orochimaru. This dragon you're looking at is Sasuke."

The small dragon looked at his brother and mumbled "Nii-san..." He looked away sadly and set his head down on the pillow.

Itachi's eyes widened as he walked over to Sasuke, his hand carefully inching towards his brother's head.

The young dragon shrunk away from his older brother's hand, small traces of tears still visible on his scales.

"Sasuke, don't be afraid, jeez. Itachi obviously won't hurt you, I thought you trusted me." Sakura chided to the onyx dragon, patting his head slightly.

Sasuke looked at her, almost in an annoyed fashion, but he listened to her and gently nudged his older brother's hand.

Itachi sat on the bed and inspected his younger brother carefully, while gently stroking his head. "Sasuke... You should keep away from your room for now. Okaa-san's calling Ami to meet you. I know you hate that girl, so I recommend you to leave soon." Itachi warned the young Uchiha.

Sasuke nodded his head and replied "But I thought Okaa-san said that she didn't want anyone to see me..."

Itachi sighed and answered "Who knows... Okaa-san can be unpredictable sometimes..." With that he left the room quietly and closed the door with a soft click.

I don't know what my new schedule for updating things are. But it's spring break at the moment, so there probably will be more updates coming soon :)

Anyways, R&R, Ja!
