Mine Alone

A Yang Production

7:00 am: Naruto woke up

7:03 am: Naruto is staring to get dressed
7:08 am: Naruto has finished getting dressed. I did not peek once! (save that for later!)

7:09 am: He starts to boil water

7:10 am: Grabs a cup of instant Ramen from his cupboard.

7:17 am: He eats

7:30 am: Several cups later, he leaves the house.

Snapping shut my note book I look out at the road that Naruto is walking on. Damn lucky road, being able to get so close to MY Naruto! So far he's been happy staying with Iruka. Yes, things are going well…just like I asked of the Hokage. I've seen the cruel things this town has done to MY Naruto. Every time I wanted to run up to him and hold him close while I battle those evil villagers, but…what could I do? I was so weak…I couldn't protect him then. Now I trained harder than ever before, all for him. I studied and absorbed as much information as I could, all leading to that one day when I will tell him… "You're mine."

Naruto had arrived at the training ground and he was late.

" Took you long enough!" Sakura shouted at him, while everyone else agreed.

" Gomen, I woke up late." Was his excuse.

" Kakashi-sensei comes up with better lies than you!"

" H-hello N-n-naruto-kun." A voice stammered. Hinata blushed as Naruto gave her a quick hello. Scanning the training grounds a realization came over him.

" Where's the bastard Sasuke?"

" He's not here yet."

" And I was late?"

" YES!" Sakura and Ino yelled at him. And after that yell who should appear but heart throb Sasuke? He struggled to conceal something under his arm, but everyone could see that it was a small black note and a scroll.

" You're late Sasuke!" Naruto pointed an accusing finger at Sasuke who shrugged it off like it was nothing. They began their training, during which Naruto asked Sakura out for the 100th time, Sakura asked Sasuke out for 1,098th time and they both were rejected coldly like always. All were unaware that someone was plotting a death of a blossom.

" See ya tomorrow!" Sakura waved to everyone as she stayed behind to cry bitter tears of defeat.

" Watch as I make Sasuke mine!" Ino yelled back in their own language. Making sure that no one was left, Sakura walked to a near by lake, dropped to the ground and let out a sob.

" Sakura-san. Don't cry it's unbecoming." I drawled lay lazily on a tree branch. She stood up quickly and dried her tears.

" W-who was crying? I has something in my eye!" Lame excuse.

" Kakashi can do better than you." I noticed that she winced at the comment. Good. " Turned Naruto down again."

" Who wants to go out with that pathetic loser?"

" Oh you'd be surprised." Dropping to the ground I walked up to her. " You have beautiful hair…nice and long…silky…soft." I ran a hand through her locks of hair. Something must have scared her for she backed away. " Sakura, come with me, there's something I want to show you." The soft grass underneath bent with each step I took. Like this grass I will make the whole of Konoha bend under MY will. Not many people know of the little building that I keep on the outskirts, but now I will show my love to someone else. It was small, something I built with my own hands to vent my anger for not being able to help Naruto. Pulling out a key, I opened the lock and slide the door open.

" It's so dark in here." She stammered. Nice voice…it'd be even better silenced!

" Don't worry, your eyes will adjust." Here I gave my usual smirk. With a slam the door shut behind us, trapping us inside.

" Okay…this isn't fun!"

" Fun?" My body twitched at the word. " Who said this was suppose to be fun?" Lighting a candle, light began to flood the room.

" What the hell is this!" Every square inch was covered in Naruto's face. In a corner I was dating the chopsticks that he used and threw away. Here and there you could find cloth from battles, stray hairs, even something that one could call blood.

" Do you like my collection?" I hugged my Naruto doll that took months to sew together, since hair sheds only some much. " It took a long time, but this is all mine. Someday I hope that Naruto can be mine also…and I will be his." Burying my face into the soft plush, I breathed the scent of Naruto. " Call me insane if you want Sakura-san…but I know myself…and I know what Naruto wants. I can not live another day in your shadow. I can not live with the way he looks at you, with that same longing I know too well."

" Look…you need help. Let me take you to get help." Her touch made me flinch.

" DO NOT TOUCH ME YOU BITCH!" I snapped and raised my hand. She fell to the ground clutch her cheek. Her eyes flew to the door.

Cocking my head to a side, a sick smile appeared on my face. " The door is seal with my Chakra…and only I can release it."

" Please…I promise not to tell anyone!" Was she pleading? Asking to let her go? How brain dead was this girl? She rejected Naruto over and over…and she dare ask me to let her go?

" What is it that you say to Naruto? Oh yeah…WHEN HELL FREZZES OVER!" You have to love that look when they finally realize their mistakes. It just gets to you, don't you agree? " Naru-kun, what should we do to this pink haired rat? Yes…that could work. You know Sakura-san, I like your hair…that's the only thing I like about you." I bent down and arranged Naruto so he did not have to watch me…kill Sakura. " There. Now watch the wall…oh and try to ignore any screams, okay my Naru-kun?"

A shadow caught my attention and I caught Sakura's arm as she tried to knock me out with a bowl I had lying around.

" Do you know what you have in your hand?" Her bone shattered in my hand, I could feel the small splinters of bones poking underneath my skin. " I could only get that one Ramen bowl that Naruto ate out of before someone noticed my love for him. Drop it." My voice was not that lively voice she had once heard. No, mess with something of Naru's you mess with me! I slipped one leg over hers and yanking back, forced her to the ground.

" Know what…for a bitch like you…no death would be good enough. It would disgrace any form of death to touch you." Her body relaxed a bit. Stupid girl, did she think that I would let her live?

" However, I will find one…But first, that hair of yours. It needs to come off." I pulled out the same tool that I had used on Itachi. " Mind if I take it? Of course you don't!" Her cries were in vain. Slowly, scalp and all, I managed to pull her hair off. " Lovely, I'll be sure to study it carefully. Hello? What's this?" That same slash across the Leaf symbol…when did that happen? How could I have missed it? A betrayer? Sakura?

" Betrayer…" I hissed loudly. Plunging the instrument deep enough to penetrate her skin, I pulled back and let the spine be exposed.

" Help…me…" Weak…stupid weak girl.

" No one to hear you out here!" Wrapping my slender fingers around that column of bone, I jerked and it came out. Her eyes dimmed as death came swiftly and carried her to a place far beyond our world. The one person that stood in my way was gone, but it did not bring any joy. This death was not like the others. It had no struggle. Too much trust and not enough strength.

" Naru-kun…" Her spine lay limp in my open hand, " This if for the best. I can't have anyone cause you harm like she did." It clattered as I tossed it aside in disgust. " Your happiness is mine." When you start a job, finish it! " Let's see what you really look like Sakura!" My laughter returned as I opened her body and took notes. Why not honor her body by studying it as she would want me to?

" Hey, Naru-kun…what should we eat tonight?" Still covered in flesh and blood I turned Naruto around so I could talk to him, face to plush face.

" Hey, have you guys seen Sakura?" Ino ran up to Naruto and Sasuke. A worried look that was never seen following a sentence with the word 'Sakura' was on her face. " We were suppose to meet for a sparring session, and she didn't show up. At first I thought that she finally admitted that she was weaker, but her parents called asking if she was with me. She didn't come home last night."

" WHAT!" Naruto got down from the tree that he was sitting in. " That's not like her. Have you asked everyone else?"

" Yes, I even asked Kakashi if he tried to take her home with him. He didn't."

" Not, good. Ino-chan, keep looking around, Sasuke you bastard, go with her." He didn't reply so Naruto knew that he was going to do it. " I'm going to go talk with Baa-san." A puff of smoke later, he was outside Tsunade's office.

" BAA-SAN!" Never one to knock on her door, he charged right in. " Sakura-chan is missing!" No one was inside. " Baa-san?" Only a soft hum replied to his question. For the first time, he noticed a door off to side of the office. Curiously, he made his way to the door. His hand rested against the door knob and he turned. Peering inside, he saw a metal table with something covered by a white sheet on it.

" Naruto!" Someone pulled him back and shut the door. " What are you doing here?"

" Hello Baa-san! What am I doing here…? Oh yeah! Baa-san! Sakura-chan is missing!"

" It's HOKAGE. I know that Sakura is missing, her parents were in here a while ago. Don't worry about it. With have a team of highly skilled Shinobi's on the case."

" That's a relief! Err…Baa-san?"

" HOKAGE! What?"

" Can you put me down?" Naruto hovered about 5 inches off the ground. " It's kinda hard to walk if my feet can't touch the ground." She released him from her iron grip and watched as he got near the door.

" Naruto?"

" What is it Baa-san?"

" What did you see in that room?"

" Nothing. Why?"

" Just go then!" He left mumbled something about a crazy old hag. Making sure that he was gone, she entered the room and pulled back the white sheet. Sakura looked peaceful now that she lay on the table, but her body told a different story. There were awkward stitches covering her whole body, like someone had used her for practice. Bones were placed in the wrong areas, deforming her body. Some one had totally rearranged her inner organs.

" Sick." She picked up the note that was attached to the body.

A betrayer of Konoha,

Who loved to study

So I returned the favor

By studying her!

In her hand she held Sakura's headprotector. The slash across the symbol was fresh, done as if by a surgical instrument. When betrayers were caught and returned the slash had been worn down form constant battle and weather.

" What's is going on in Konoha?" In fury, she slammed her hand down on the table. " You didn't deserve this Sakura. Poor Cherry Blossom." She gently touched the battered face of the girl. " To be returned in your state... Your parents were so upset at your death."

They had come in at the order of the Hokage. It pained her to show them, but they pleaded to see their daughter.

" I want to see it with my own eyes." Her mother dabbed her eyes. " I won't believe it till I see her body."

" Come this way." She lead them into the room. Both parent approached the table holding their breath. The mother let out a pained wail at the sight of her body.

" NO! NO! SAKURA! MY LITTLE GIRL!"

" Who did this?" Her father questioned.

" We're not sure. Who ever did it, didn't know what they were doing. We performed an autopsy and…"

" And? There's more than what was done to her body?"

" Her…hair was found stuffed inside her skull…her brain is missing."

Both parents had to be taken to the hospital, mental collapse. Tsunade clenched Sakura's head protector in her hand. " You didn't deserver this. We'll catch who ever did this."

" Hokage-sama!" The ANBU leader called. Wiping her face clean, she stepped out. " I'm sorry, were you busy?"

" No. What is it?"

" Teams are ready. We just need your command and your seal." She stared at the paper in front of her. Placing the Hokage seal, she looked up at the Captain.

" Find the Damn Murderer…and bring their decaying carcass to me!"

" As you command." Poof! They were going to alert the teams.

The sun peeked between the clouds, giving some hope to the town. " We'll get you!"

Get me? Is that what you think Hokage-sama? I just did the whole village a favor!

" You know Sakura…your brain is better than your hair. It made you smart and it failed you!" Another jar to add to my collection. I need a long bath and maybe I'll have time to write more into my note book? Things I do...Sigh.

Yang-chan: So many reviews and so many people I can not please. You'll just have to read and figure out who the Stalker is cuz I can't say right now! (smile) Native Sakura, thank you for what you said! Mhm…I think I'll just write this fic as it is meant to be…and the Stalker is NOT an OC. So and way…review!
