Ohayo/konbawa to all of you! This chappie will get a little longer than expected. Well if you want to read it, review it too... please!

"YOU. ARE. DISMISSED." A loud voice was heard atop the ceiling.

"At last, peace and quiet once again" sighing, she went at the garden and picked some flowers for the two. They were really having a hard time...

Flashback

"You are to clean this mess and you two are not to leave this house until you fix it, which will serve as a lesson. You are not to fight with each other, and if you do, you two will be cooking for dinner and that leaves the cook nothing to do. Mister chef, tell me, what exactly happened?"

The cook made an evil grin as he prepared for the so called 'story'

"The blonde haired boy was a monster, he made us cook hundreds of ramens and he didn't get full" Naruto said in objection "HEY MISTER! I only made you to cook twenty, am I right?" He said smirking but the cook went on. "And the young man had ate it slurppily, until the other boy came" he was pointing to Sasuke of course. "He brought up a fight, at first, we were happy about it, but they wrecked the full area" You can see his eyes burning with hatred, anger and passion like Lee's.

"Well my conclusion is that, my decision will be final, you two will be fixing it and you two will never be able to fight, if you do, I will let someone educate you by any means of brutality and force." The two gulped once more. This is going to hurt...

End of Flashback

"So that means poor Naruto and Sasuke... I'll be going on training, after I finished this" she nodded and then went off to visit the two.

She picked up roses and her favorite, the cosmos. She arranged it in an orderly manner and she decided to bring the two of them to Naruto and Sasuke.

Knock knock...

She went in and placed the flowers to Naruto's bed. She made her way to Sasuke's room and placed it at the table stool near her bed. "Okay, that's it all finished, now training time." She smirked and then left heading towards the open grounds, having all her weapons and scrolls, she thought that it was a necessity to train. She have been particular about her safety, she did not want to be left behind.

The training she did was menacing. Five hundred push ups, an hour of target practice. Water walking was also a perfect exercise for her; it made her chakra more perfect. She sighed as she reached the last of her kunais and shurikens. Amazingly, the tree had a hundred weapons embedded on them, perfectly counted at the center part of the circle. Her sweat trickled down and she did continue training.

"Kage Bunshin no jutsu" Sakura did not know why she knew the technique, she just happened to know it, but she preferred to use them anyway, so that she could face herself and have a sparring partner.

About twenty of them were done and she prepared a fighting stance, it was getting late but she would not buzz off. "I can do this... I know I can" She ordered her clones, to not hold back, having one tenth of her strength, it was really easy, but with such a number, it caused damage. Kunais at hand, she slashed the first clone. POOF it vanished. She delivered a round house kick to the stomach. Before she knew it, several kunais headed her way as she prepared to evade it. She managed to get the five of them and evaded the others. It slashed; she was getting more bruises from time to time. She merely stood up at will and she kept sustaining the clones with her chakra. She concentrated as several of them were coming her way.

There was a soft trickle of blood to her arms but she would not black out, she would not. There were only five of them left. "I hate myself! URGH! How come I can't even beat twenty clones of my own faster?" She said angrily as she pulled out the last of her kunais at her holster. There were only three of them left. She went straight towards them as fast as her legs could carry.

The three of them encircled her and then she was trapped. Many shurikens came her way and slashed her to bits and pieces. The clones sighed but then one of them received a kick at the back, and it vanished. After the dust cleared off, there was a log in front of them. Quick thinking there, she did a Kawarimi. She smirked as she slashed the two of them to pieces. "At last..."

POOF the last clone vanished. "Glad that was done!" She said as she panted from her practice, she immediately stood up and did the same jutsu that she has done before...

"RAKKA!" Her weapons fell from the ground.

"ATSUMERU!" The weapons headed straight towards her, zooming furiously. By using some swift hand motions, she evaded the weapons that targeted her body and swiftly caught them at her hands. By the time she was almost finished, had several bruises but she would still keep training. "I would not lose here!" She said raising her fists up in the air. The moon was still lit high like yesterday. Then slowly it turned to red.

She stopped her training; looking at the moon she was engulfed with a vision.

A woman was panting heavily as she pulled out her curved katana. Eyes were sharp, since she had a mask, Sakura could not picture who the woman was. She was wearing a black cloak and a white robe. Everything was set on fire and the moon was out up the sky. There were several dead bodies lying helplessly, being burned by the raging fire. The woman was looking at the man's eye who was pleading for his life. She smiled and then said "then may I have the honor of granting your wish" His head fell off... A scream had haunted the entire village. As it tuned to ashes in a mere second.

She turned to her right and looked afar, vanished from the scene to be long gone...

She breathed for air, since she had only seen something gruesome. She found herself collapsing again, and she felt this weird headache really bugging her. The moon was not red; it was only her imagination... Maybe, and she found herself carrying herself towards her room to take a goodnight sleep. She dressed herself and plunged into her soft bed. Pulling herself together, she mocked at the pain that her training had caused her. She was forced into a deep sleep as the soft covers of her futon touched her gentle skin.

The night was calm and there were soft breezes that kept tingling on her hair. Sending it to be tumbling back and forth. Everything was calm except for the fact that 'Naruto was still throwing curses at Sasuke while Sasuke was being drifted into his own world where everything was peaceful and quiet.' It has been expected.

Morning

It was five o'clock in the morning when she decided to stay awake. She headed towards the window sill and practically smelled the breeze that was heading her way. She sensed someone come into the room and she prepared for a fighting stance. She felt a hand cover her mouth and said. "Thank you for the flowers" she turned to look at him. She pulled away his hand that was covering her mouth and said. "I ought to thank you for saving me before" She giggled and jumped out of the window

"Sasuke..."

She said in a whisper so that no one could hear her; she was surprised at what she saw beneath. "Kakashi sensei, Mera-san, what are you two doing here?" Mera nodded with Kakashi. "We are not finished with you yet Sakura- kun, we still have some questions left unanswered" Mera said as she hooked Sakura in her arms and placed her at the chair in the middle of the garden.

'This is going to be so bad' Sakura told herself inside her mind that this was not going to be a disaster. "Okay, about the dream, what can you tell about it..." Mera said as Sakura questioned her. "Are you sure you want to hear about it, it is quite disturbing." She said carefully as she prayed that she would not want to hear it but she did, because she just nodded.

"Okay, it all started when I was young, but those visions were long gone before so I forgot about it. Now it was just coming back... It always had to do something with someone. Most of the times, it had to do something about that woman, and every time those visions show up, I'm having this headache. There was something more... I-" She suddenly stopped...

"Go on..." She shook her head and she grew dizzy. The world was practically moving and spinning like crazy. Her eyelids dropped down

Kakashi went to find out what just happened, and examined her, there was really nothing wrong. Everything was normal until he stated to touch her. There was a slight burn at his fingers as an electrified current suddenly trashed when he took hold of her. "Sakura what's wrong with you?"

Mera examined her at the same time, but there was really nothing wrong, except for the current that flowed thought her. It was getting cloudy and it was about to rain. Still they did not figure what was happening.

Suddenly a thought reached Kakashi's mind.

He showed his sharinggan eye and began examining particularly on what had happened. "Mera-san, I see something"

He motioned for some quite observance and then said. "This is amazing, it seems that there's a seal that has been put. Right now, all of her body is covered in an invisible chakra pattern and she has these marks around her body. We have to seal this temporarily. Mera-san, I need your help, do you know the fuin technique?" He said as he was constantly doing hand seals and touching hands, followed by the feet and legs, then her heart, her hands and arms, lastly her forehead. A spark of light was seen and he cut the tip of his finger and wrote some blood in all to all of them.

Mera nodded in agreement, she constantly did the same thing. "GAIA!" and then she prepared all her chakra to her hands and clambered to her forehead. Kakashi was meanwhile supporting the process. "Niju Fuin!" and then some of the marks appeared; it filled her whole body as Mera gasped in surprise. "This girl-" she was cut off as she was blown away by the sudden wind current that erupted. Both jounins made their way back to Sakura who was still lying, the marks disappeared... "Tell me Mera-san what exactly happened?" He turned his eyes to fix on her but she was still in state of shock... "Well then, I'll take both of you in, before the rain falls" Kakashi immediately took the two of them inside.

After a moment or two, the rain has made its way towards the house. The others were patiently waiting at the couch; the two accidentally saw it...

What happened?

After Sakura jumped, he went to check to see what was Naruto doing down stairs. He saw him making such a pretty mess and decided to bug him off. "Still eating ramen huh?" They were still going to fix the stupid room... It started to annoy him.

Being made as a cleaner was the worse thought in his mind. He started doing his work as he saw Naruto didn't move an inch. "You annoying dobe, work" He motioned his hand to get the sharp pointy nails at his lazy partner... or so it was called like that. Naruto covered his head with a pan and said "That wouldn't work. Sasuke no Baka!"

He started laughing and he went finishing his last bowl of ramen. "I felt so good" Then he saw a flash of pink hair being dragged into the field. He looked over to Sasuke to see what he was doing... Sasuke glared icily and then waited what was the stupid idiot WAS going to say. 'Maybe I'll ask him... maybe not... or yes... no... stupid idea' Naruto thought as he just stared at Sasuke, who brought him an indifferent look. "What's wrong with you, if you have anything to say speak up... dobe" He said coldly and expected Naruto what he had said somehow.

"Hey Sasuke bastard, did you see Sakura-chan a little while ago?" He smirked and said "I just went a visit on her room a little earlier." At this phrase Naruto was annoyed. 'Why does HE always gets to visit Sakura- chan...' and then he simply stated "because I'm good dobe" and then Naruto shot back. "How come you can read my mind?" Sasuke was really annoyed and replied "Dunce, I said, because I AM good... what were you trying to say earlier?" giving him a death glare, Naruto just spoke off.

"I just saw Mera-san and Kakashi sensei harassing Sakura, pulling her to the garden, she was screaming and pleading for 'please don't do this to me... please!' and she was gone" Sasuke flinched an eyebrow at what he said. 'What are they going to do with her?" Naruto just laughed silently as he saw the look of worry in Sasuke's eyes... 'He fell for it-' but he was cut off in his laughing when he was pulled at high speed. Bumping his head on several doors and walls that made him black out. The last thought was. 'Sasuke bastard, you are going to pay DEARLY for this'

He soon arrived at the scene when he saw what was happening. They were just talking, and they weren't doing something like harassment. He kicked Naruto's head for that and the kitsune had stated. "I want ramen" groggily when he remembered.

"SA-" before he said the world, there were several masking tapes tied onto him, and he cannot speak. All of a sudden she collapsed and he watched the entire scene with Naruto. "hmph hmmmmpppphhh hmmphhhh" Naruto said as he untied the scotch tape pitifully, meanwhile, Sasuke was too concentrated on what was happening so he did not notice that Naruto was escaping.

He noticed the marks; Naruto was still on the ground and seeing it all happened. The wind blasted, but Sasuke had done something to stop it. He muttered under his breath. "...Sakura......." And then he carried Naruto and pulled off the scotch tape on his mouth and decided to follow them inside.

That was why they were here...

But Sakura wasn't having a very nice sleep at all. She was having cold sweats, and the rain was not even doing anything any better.

Her Nightmare

She found herself in the dark clearing the same time before. The woman was still there. "Sakura-chan, did you like my present?" She shook her head and said "I didn't like any part of it, it was really horrible. Get out of my mind... please" she pleaded but then she was held into the cold skin of hers. She whispered into her ears "why would I leave, when you know that I am a part of you" The voice said as she lunged backwards.

"I don't believe you, and I will never fall for such a stupid joke" She said as she prepared a stance for fighting. "Well then, let me show you what you truly are..." The woman said and flashed her scenes, she was killing her mother, next her father, next her- "Stop this at once!" She said in the verge of tears. "You perfectly know that... the only way to become strong and be able to protect them is by using me, so accept me..." she laughed a little and held out her hand

She shook her head, and attacked her. She was grabbed by the hair and horrible scenes flashed. Everyone was killed except her; she was bloodied and hurt badly. "I couldn't protect them" and then she passed out.

"Now do you get it, no one really knows about you, no one really cared, no one but me" The woman laughed as she stroked the hairs of the poor kunoichi. She had been fighting her off away from her. "I don't really know you, as long as I have my friends then there won't be any harm. So back off before I kill you!" Sakura said in defense as she hurdled to the darkness searching for her pray, but she didn't know who the prey was. It was her...

Suddenly she stopped dead, she couldn't move and The woman had already lunged her arms around her neck and buried her head at her. "Now Sakura- chan, play time is over. I had enough of this, and we have given you enough time, do you not get it? I'll be having my fun time from now on... Take care of your friends. Bye Sa-ku-ra-chan" And then she bled all over.

"I won't... let you"

There was nothing.

She woke up calmly and turned to look at all the faces of them. "It can't be helped" She said looking at them all. They were really worried at start and she spoke up again. "Miss Mera, we have to really go back to Konoha, my parents are worried, and I said that this will only take a week or so." She bowed her head and expected a reply but she only felt warm arms around her...

The feeling that she had regret. "Move away from me Naruto" She glared at him and took his hand away. This certain dream she had, had more effect on her than ever before. "I will pack my things then; no one will dare stop me.... No one" slightly a whisper at the last part... She softly stood up and elegantly straightened her hair and went upstairs to keep arranging her things. They were away for twelve days... and that was really it.

They watched her back as she went towards her room.

"Sakura-chan, I hope you're alright" Naruto said in a whisper as he too stood up and went to his room, followed by the others. Before leaving Kakashi went towards Mera and told her this.

"Mera-san, it can't be helped, she had too much of it... It will really break if something bad happens, we'll do everything for her protection. Please don't worry" Kakashi smiled under his mask and prepared leaving as well.

She stood up and dressed, this time changing her attire, she soothed at the clothes gave to her and found the perfect attire. She normally liked black, since it was elegant, and red because it matched her hair and it was petite, just the right likeness for her. Now she wore a black tubed attire. It had the fishnet style hanging down at the start of her stomach; it was like Anko's but it still has the different design. Next, she wore her usual black shorts that had the kunai holster on her left leg. The next thing, she puts on the 'spiked bracelet' at her wrist. It had twenty spikes in it that encircled both her wrists, which would really come handy for fights. She then trashed her chinese red dress, petty things aren't made for her now... Now that she knew that she had to be cold for a reason of course. She just wore the black velvety coat. She then attached a spiked earring that her friend gave her when she was seven it looked not much like her so just intended to keep it, now she just wanted to use it, lastly she attached a choker necklace, that had several inscriptions around them in hiragana. There was a familiar pinks Sakura mark at the mid part, it was said that it was attached to her as a baby before.

She grabbed the Katana that hung at her room; it had an embedded 'Haruno Sakura' at the metal of the blade. She understood it was to be given to her.

Next thing, she held her kunai and slashed her hands to carve the kanji style. "trapped" and promised herself that as long as the scar won't fade, she will have to search for the woman that has done her this.

She licked the trickle of blood and it turned her pink lips to red. She covered the shashen with a metal elinia, which she had performed a peculiar seal so that only she is able to open it and close it.

Tragic that everyone noticed her change... Her hair has grown to shoulder length and she cut it the same way she cut it at the chunnin exam, now strands of pinks were lying at the ground. She looked at herself and smirked, she smashed the mirror with dislike, not any particular reason, because it was just a necessity for her.

She managed to prepare for their leave, she did not like her stay here, and she concluded that, because all she did was having headaches.

Her backpack was just as small as ever, she had destroyed her ever so loveable Sakura perfume and she has only put there her weapons and clothes, food and water. And it was all packed in a 'regular' backpack smaller than Naruto's and Sasuke's.

'a mission is a mission, if someone interferes, kill them' she thought of this as she was going to head down the hall. Expecting the group lot ready to leave.

Naruto was fighting off a nosebleed and Sasuke just kept his gaze, obviously everybody was eye budged at her.

O.O

"S-sa-sakura-chan" Naruto gulped as he wiped his nose from bleeding. "Isn't that too revealing?" He gulped again, now wiping his eyes. She did not really pay attention. She was waiting at the chair playing with her weapons. It has become quite a habit of hers by now.

She had noticed some movement towards her. She reached for her katana and then softly held it to the throat of the intruder, which was really fast, you can see some soft blood trickling at the neck and then she opened her eyes and said. "Kakashi sensei, if you do have anything planning to me, you must be ready to receive your punishment." She shot him a glare and then pulled back her katana. Well to think she was not really good at handling weapons before, but it was something like a familiar experience to her.

"Sakura-kun, I think that we should eat first, since it would take a long time before we are able to come back..." Sakura opened her eyes and said calmly. "Kakashi sensei, I hope that you are not planning anything dire, I would not tolerate you if there was such a particular thing that happened to me..." Sakura said and Kakashi gulped.

"No... Sakura kun, I assure that we don't plan anything" Sakura smiled and reappeared at the back of Kakashi. 'how is it that I didn't even sense her movement...?'

"Well then, I something happens... prepare for your doom" She then got of his back and walked quietly to the dining room.

A/n I'll leave you to your imagination on what will happen. This is not considered to be an evil cliffhanger, but its is really cliffy. I'm happy that I had just had the time to do my best.
