Writer's Note- You'll love this chapter.


About two days later, Sakura awoke to a snowy, and cold morning. She looked out the window, everything was white. She smiled and rested her head on her knuckles, and scanned over the snow. She walked away from her window, and changed into her usual red and white dress and blue shorts.

She went over to the bridge where Team 7 usually met. She was the first one there. She leaned against the railing, looking at her reflection through the blue crystal liquid. She heard footsteps grow closer to the bridge. She looked over her shoulder, and saw Naruto, the annoying one.

"Hi, Sakura!" he chimed, smiling his usual smile.

"Hey," Sakura said, smiling to the cheerful figure.

Sasuke walked onto the bridge and stood by Sakura.

Naruto lifted an eyebrow at Sasuke.

/Eh? Sasuke standing by Sakura? Just plain weird.../ Naruto thought.

About thiry-three minutes later, Sensei Kakashi finally arrived.

"Good morning, sorry I'm late, I got lost on the path of life," he said, waving.

"As usual," Naruto murmured.


That night, Sakura was out on a walk by herself for some odd reason.

She bit her lip, stopping her trail. She heard a noise. She turned around, and saw a large mountain lion in front of her. It growled, baring it's fangs.

"Ah..an appetizer, and from the weak leaf clan, so I see," the mountain lion 'said.' It was actually speaking to Sakura through her mind.

"Wha? Are you challenging me to a fight?" Sakura replied, doing a few hand motions.

"I guess I am, hm," the lion said.

"Alright, let's fight!" Sakura challenged.

The lion leaped on top of her, and tried to scratch her arm, but Sakura used her chakra to stop it. The lion froze, then did some motions, then appeared behind Sakura, leaped on top of her, and bit her back, all in three seconds. Sakura screamed, feeling sharp fangs rip through her pale skin. Sakura had no time to feel her pain, she turned towards the lion, and did motions, then leaped on top of the lion, pulling its ears, then jumping in front of it, still holding onto the ears. Then she yanked the ears down towards the earth, and then used her chakra to force the lion onto the ground.

Meanwhile, Sasuke heard her scream, and was running towards her. He stopped in his steps, his jaw dropping. He watched her fight so well, like a master.

The lion roared in pain, Sakura jumping into the air and landing on it's head.

"Looks like you're the appetizer now," she said.

The beast was soon dead, and Sakura fell to the ground, due to all the scratches and bites on her body. The total was eleven deep scratches, and six deep, deep bites.

Sasuke ran to her aid, picking her up bridal fashion.

"Sakura!" he called. No answer. Just lots of blood staining his hands and her clothes.

Ears began growing from Sakura's head, lion ears tipped in black. A tail began growing from her hindquarters.

Sasuke began running towards the hospital, whiskers growing from her cheeks.

The hospital was closed for repairs.

Sasuke cursed under his breath, searching for a home. He ran to a clearing, they were lost.

A mark was under Sakura's left eye, a chinese mark resembling fire.

"She fought the...enchanted lion..and won?" Sasuke said.

Sakura awoke to Sasuke's voice.

"Sasuke?" she whispered.

"Sakura!" You're alive!" he said, hugging her tight.

Sakura blushed, then felt something wagging. She looked behind her, and saw a tail, tipped inblack.

She gasped, her tail stopped wagging, and her ears drooped.

"What happened?" she whispered, turning to Sasuke.

"You defeated the Enchanted Lion, if you defeat it, you get a blessing, and obviously, you've gotten blessed," he said, closing his eyes.

"Blessed!" she exclaimed.

"More like a curse!" she said, her ears pointing to the ground.

"No, it's a blessing, you can fight better, and it makes you plenty unique," he said, smiling and stroking her cat ears.

"R-Really?" she said, admiring her new features.

"It only lasts for about two years, though," he said.

"Good, I don't want these forever," she said, standing up.

Sasuke helped her up, and they began walking towards their homes.


When Sakura arrived at the bridge, she met Sasuke their.

"Hey," the words escaped form her lips.

She was wearing a hoodie to hide her ears, and had stuffed her tail into her shorts.

"You know you look awful, right?" Sasuke said, removing the hoodie.

"Fine, fine," she said, her tail getting out of her shorts.

"But what are Kakashi and Naruto going to say?" she said, wa worried tone in her voice.

"Dunno," he said, looking at Naruto running towards the bridge.

"Hey Sak-" he was cut off by her new look.

Sakura looked at her feet.

"I defeated the Enchanted Lion, so what?" Sakura said, closing her eyes.

"Woah..you...defeated the E.L.?" he said, rubbing his head.

"You must be pretty darn good!" he said, smiling a sheepish smile.

Sakura blushed at the compliment.

"Good morning, sorry I'm la-" Kakashi Sensei was cut off by Sakura.

"You..d-" he began, but Sakura interupted.

"Yes, sadly," she said, Kakashi walked to her side.

"That's great! I've trained you well," Kakashi said, rubbing her head.

A growl was heard from Sakura's throat. Kakashi quickly quickly yanked his hand away, not wanting to feel her bite.


AN: I loved writing this chapter. I like putting a pinch of comedy into it. Reviews will be more than welcome.
