Shibousha Kisu

Sakura slid down the side of hill, landing in the glade of flowers. In spring and summer, violets carpeted it, in fall it was golden and orange leaves. Right now, it was grass-covered, ready for the small amethyst and snow flowers to creep over it, muddy in spots.

Long fingered grasped at the grass beneath her feet, staring up at the starry sky. A bubble of silver crept it's way down her cheek, followed by another and another. Soon her eyes were red and wet, swollen and sad. 'Sasuke-kun has left to train with the snake-bastard, Naruto is training with Jiraiya-sama...What about me? Will I be left to hide in the dust of they?'

She bolted upright from her kneeling position in the midst of the glade, eyes searching the trees. Reaching for the holster strapped to her leg, she withdrew a single kunai. "Who's there?" She started to call, but was cut off by a blur that rushed her, eyes of crimson glinting.

"Aaggkkk!" She gasped as it held her to the ground.

"Mmm, so prettttyy. Lovely..." It hissed, eyes shining with bloodlust as it stared down at her. It's head flashed forward and Sakura felt a pain in her shoulder before everything took on a haze.

"Oi! Bastard!" A voice, strong but feminine, called out. "Leave her alone!" 'Ino?' Sakura wondered, eyes fluttering closed as darkness ebbed at her senses.

"Get over here, bastard. Your fight's with us." Another voice called, deep and feminine, cool.

"Rrrrgh...delicious...mine!" It launched itself at the voices, Sakura knowing by the weight that lifted off of her.

She fell into darkness for but a moment, but when her eyes fluttered open weakly, she saw two shadows crouched over her. "Take her with you, Touji-chan. I'm too busy to take her, and too dangerous." The first voice whispered.

Silence. "I know how you feel about it getting passed on, but this one couldn't be helped. You need another kunoichi to round out your teams, so take her." It spoke again.

"...Fine." The second voice grumbled. Long arms, warm and soft, picked her up as she fell into darkness once more, to come out someone new...

N.A.R.U.T.O

This takes place right before the time jump, for those of you going 'the crap?' I feel sort of sorry for Sakura, because she's on a team with the last of the friggin' Uchiha and the Kyuubi vessel she just fades to the back. So tada, spawn of my strange mind. I know who is reviewing and who are not, so review if you read, please. And crit is even better. Do not get on to me about how short this is, it is a prologue. Enjoy the bad writing!
