Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Naruto mangas or anything but I have borrowed my friend's (a lot)
Summery: Sakura gets fed up with always being the weakest and runs away. Six years later the Hokage of the town of Konoha is holding a tournament for a mysterious weapon.

Recap: I watched my opponent Nightshade stretch.
'No way is she going to win this time. Not with my blood line ability.'
"Make your eyes into as many pretty colors as you want, it wouldn't help you…"
'What the'
"Let the match begin!" a voice called.
"Who are you?" I asked.
The back doors of the arena were kick-loudly- open to reveal Ino in Shikamaru's arms.
When Ino looked to the center ring her eyes went as wide as Chouji and she screamed, "Sakura."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I quickly turned back to look at my opponent Nightshade. She had dropped her cloak, I was surprised because all the other times she had worn black from head to toe, but now she was wearing all white. She slowly raised her hands and took off her hood. Short pink hair fell down to shoulders. Emerald eyes fluttered open.
"Sakura" was all I could manage. After so long, all these years, she's come back.
'Why do I feel this uneasiness in my stomach? My Sakura's come back to me. That's right my she's always been mine and always will be and now I can complete my vengeance by reviving my clan with her.'
'I'll live without you.' She had said. I had thought she would but she came back cause she knows she's mine.
I smirked.
"Better take that damn smirk off your face while I whip the floor with you…"
'What the?'
"Sakura-chan is that really you?" Naruto asked.
"Yes it's me, Naruto-kun."
Naruto ran up to her and gave her a bone crushing huge. Hinata trailed behind him and shyly welcomed her back.
"Are you two an item now?"
"Ye-yeah"
"Good."
Ino had Shikamaru take her to the group. "Sakura!" She exclaimed and she flung herself onto the girl. "If you ever leave again without telling us where you're going, or saying good bye I'll kick your butt! You hear me?"
"Hn"
I approached the group. "Sakura"
"Sasuke"
I my face faltered, "no kun?"
"The affection I once had for you belongs to some one else now."
'I don't like this she's mine. Sakura's mine. Who is this? The bastard I'll kill him. But who? And why?'
My confusion must have show because Sakura explained.
"When I left I went to be the strongest I could. In one year's time I had surpassed every ninja in the area, so I vowed to stay loyal to whoever could beat me in one on one combat. That attracted many powerfully ninjas, none however could beat me. Then one day as I was traveling through Sand and a young man was sent by the Kazekage to get rid of me. They believed that I was bringing trouble to the village. When he came I was in the middle of a match with a pathetic excuse of a ninja when he came for me. He quickly knocked unconscious the ninja I was fighting. Of course at my caliber I found this to be a direct offence to my skill. I told him to ether fight me or leave me and my fights alone. He told me to leave before he made me leave. I excepted his challenge…"
Everyone looked at her, what had happened after that.
'If she's a slave of some other man I will kill him! She's mine! Mine!'
"WELL?" Naruto shouted.
"…"
'Damn it Sakura just answer!'
"Everyone clear the arena it is time for the fight!" a voice called.
Sakura took her place at the end of the ring. Then took up a fighting stance.
I quickly activated my Sharingan.
"I told you, no matter how pretty you try to make your eyes it wont help. Hell it doesn't even impress me."
'Playing hard to get…I like it.'
"By the way, I have pretty eyes too…"
My eyes shot up to meet hers. The pupils were now green and surrounded by black. Then suddenly she disappeared (I know a lot of people disappear and this isn't a magic show but bear with).
'Damn how could I fall for that trick!'
"I thought you were better than to fall for that trick." A voice came from behind me.
I turned around only to have her throw various weapons at me. I quickly blocked.
"You, of all people, should know it'll take more than that to defeat me."
"I guess I should seriously…"
"Hn"
'Let's see if I can throw her off a bit…'
"You know you never answered the dope's question…"
"The ninja I was fighting won…"
'Damn it! I'll kill him! She belongs to me and me alone!'
"Who?" I asked it came out a little too angry for my liking but that didn't matter the only thing that mattered was which bastard had claimed MY women as his servant. He'll die before to morrow.
"You know I'm tired of playing around…no more kid's stuff Sasuke, from here on out this match is going to be serious and you're going to have to try to kill me to stop me from killing you." She said as she pulled a Sakura blossom out from between her bosom. She then placed it behind her ear and did some hand signals but nothing happened.
"Heh, you talk big Sakura." I speedily appeared behind her without her noticing. "But apparently it's just talk!" I said as I pouched her.
'This'll teacher to go and give up herself to some other man!'
But my hand never made contact with her instead it was blocked…by vines?
'WTF?'
"I told you, you're going to have to try to kill me…"
"Shit" I quickly cut myself free from the vines that had been climbing up my arms.
I did a back flip and created clones of myself. The clones and I all charged at her. Sakura petals came shooting out as shape as daggers destroying my clones, and I had to duck to miss being killed.
'Impressive…'
As soon as the petals passed me by I got up and aimed a punch at Sakura for now I was with in a few feet of her. I saw a Sakura tree spout rapidly from the ground and become old in-between my target and me. I punched through it and smirked at Sakura.
"You never answered my question who is this great ninja who managed to defeat you."
Sakura smiled and looked at the tree my arm was through the hole I had created. Then I realized what she was smiling about; the hole I had made was filling in at an incredible rate.
"Crap!"
I tried to retract my hand but the tree healed around it keeping me trapped in my place. As I pulled at my arm Sakura came up and kicked me in the abdomen turning the tree into splinters and sending me across the arena into a wall.
'Damn that hurt.'
I coughed up a lot of blood.
The ref was about to call the match.
"I think this will answer your question." She pulled her soft pink hair away from her neck to reveal another tattoo…the Japanese character "love" in red…
'Gaara! Damn that bastard!'
Gaara appeared next to her with his hand around her waste and a smirk on his face.
I got up to kill him but just ended up spiting up more blood and falling to my knees.
'It's so pathetic…because of that bitch.'

AN: I know a) this was a short chapter, b) I made Sasuke a total bastard, and c) it took me forever to write it but I have good reasons! One I had school, two I had a writer's block, and three I had club/sports/Sunday school duties so…yeah. Just tell me what you think K?
