Author's note: this is a Naruto story with an FMA crossover. I know, those too animes don't seem like the type to go together, but I'm just using some of the ideas, not any characters and the such. It's romance, but has a lot of other genre's put into it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or FMA, however much I want to T.T

Sakura Haruno stared out the window of her apartment at the stale gray landscape. The rain pounded relentlessly at the foggy opaque glass. The whole world seemed to be crying. Crying for her lost friends, and family. Naruto, Sasuke, her parents. The world had crashed on her shoulders exactly three days ago. Sasuke had been taken over by Orochimaru, but the jutsu Orochimaru had used to transfer souls had been incomplete and maimed. The result was a completely deformed and morbid paper white image of Sasuke, half snake pedophile, and half himself. But although only half Orochimaru, the Hokage Tsunade didn't want to take her chances with the legendary Sanin gone bad. So, she scheduled to have Sasuke executed at the town square. That was a week ago. Although Sakura Haruno had stopped loving the Uchiha years ago, she couldn't help but feel a small twinge of pain as the teen was killed. But it didn't really have a lasting affect. Sakura Haruno saw the new Sasuke before, and had realized that it wasn't really the Sasuke she had crushed on, the Sasuke that had been her accomplice.

Unfortunately, the one to have fought and brought the Uchiha back to Konoha was Naruto. He'd done it with out knowing Sasuke's fate once brought back. And three days ago, he jumped off a cliff.

Sakura felt horrible, much worse then she felt with Uchiha's death. But now, she was shedding the tears she had held back, wishing to go back to the time when Team 7 was together, when everyone was still alive. But of course, that time had passed, and Inner Sakura was pissed...

Inner Sakura-CHA! Are you gonna just let your whole life break apart over the death of a couple of losers like Naruto and Sasuke? Gimme a break!

Sakura-Come on, get a heart! They were comrades, FRIENDS! I just can't stand losing so much in so little time!

Inner Sakura-Yeah well, you can't change the past, so move on already!

Sakura-NO!

Inner Sakura-Well, if you loved Uchiha or Naruto so much, then hurry up and get a boyfriend! CHA! Do ANYTHING but stay and mope like this! I'm freaking BORED!

Sakura-Well, fine if you insist...But I won't get a boyfriend! All I'm gonna do is find someone to train me! Because I need to get stronger to protect the ones I love! Although there are almost none TO protect right now...

Inner Sakura-HELL YES! IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU FORGOT ABOUT THAT LOSER UCHIHA!

So the next day, Sakura Haruno marched right up to the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, and demanded a teacher.
