"Sakura!" A smiling Hyuga called to her from across a never ending flower patch.

Sakura smiled as she rushed towards him. Whatever she was dressed in sure allowed a breeze. Fabric rubbed against her legs, acknowledging her that she was wearing something. His arms opened wide to her, his loose long-sleeved shirt flapping in the wind as he laughed. "Neji!" She smiled as she felt the ground beneath her give way and she began to float.

A second later the sky turned dark, and the flowers died as blood rained down from the sky. Sakura sat up from a pool of blood. Her dress ripped in shreds. Looking up from the shadow she was in, she saw Neji staring down at her, pale and cut up. Sakura gasped as he fell to his knees and landed in her lap. Looking up, she saw two figures smiling menacingly at the couple, their hands holding bloodied up weapons. As they took a step closer, she saw that it was Sasuke and Sazona, and they were both laughing.

Sakura opened her mouth to scream but found that her voice was gone.

"You stupid bitch. You thought you could actually beat us… you thought you could love again? Sakura…"

"Sakura…"

"Sakura?"

"N-No."

"Sakura."

"No."

"Sakura!"

"No!" Sakura's eyes flew open and she sat up, sweat covered her body. As she slowed her spastic breaths, she looked around and saw Neji sitting next to her. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and his hair was loosely hanging around his shoulders. "N-Neji."

"Another nightmare?" Neji asked, letting his hand slide down her shoulder and adjust her bra strap that was hanging loosely to the side.

"No. It was so real. It started out nice…"

"I noticed you were smiling."

Sakura smacked his arm lightly, "Perv watching me sleep. But then… it got so violent. And it wasn't just with Sasuke this time. Sazona was in it. And they killed you Neji. What if it comes true?" Sakura looked up at him, fear teasing the sleepy features of her face.

A deep sigh was issued from Neji's lips as he stretched. "I can't be killed that easily. Besides. Sazona's a cupcake compared to Sasuke. So, I wouldn't worry about him."

Sakura frowned as she watched him get out of bed. She was weary of her dream. "Neji. Don't die on me okay? I'm attached to you."

Chuckling, Neji put on his shirt. "Don't worry Sakura. I promise not to die. I'm too attached to you to leave you alone."

Sakura smiled as she ran a hand through her long dark hair. She sighed at the black strands. "I want my old hair color back." Getting out of bed, she quickly got changed.

------------

"Ah! There you are." Sazona scratched his scruffy chin before running a hand through his messy short hair. His dark eyes darted from Sakura to Neji looking them over. "All right… the village isn't too far from here. It's the first one on our list today."

Sakura glanced up at Neji before opening her mouth to ask the walking Sazona, "Um, if you don't mind me asking Sazona-sensei, what are the other villages we're destroying today?"

Sazona stopped in his tracks, turning around to glance at her he smirked. "Three. Two small ones, and then, a hidden one."

"Oh! Okay. Which hidden one?" Sakura asked with a smile.

"Konoha." Sasuke coldly replied, and with that, they made their way to the first village.

Neji felt Sakura grab his hand. They were going to have to take out Sasuke and Sazona before they reached Konoha. They had to. Sakura leaned into Neji's walk as she hugged his arm. Fear overwhelmed her as she wondered if her nightmare would come true. Secretly, she wished that if anything in that dream ever came true, it would be the running through the flowers bit.

When they stopped on their first village. Sazona held out his hand for a scroll. Sasuke handed him one. Biting the tip of his finger, he wrote something quickly on it and asked for another. Within a few seconds, they had six scrolls done. "Nima, come with me. You, go with Uchiha." Sazona tossed Sasuke three scrolls and took off to the left. Sakura took on last glimpse at Neji before rushing after Sazona.

Neji followed Sasuke, who had rushed off to the right. Silently, he and Sakura had decided together to watch Sazona and Sasuke work before attacking them together.

As Neji followed Sasuke and watched him place the scrolls, he wondered whatever happened to Uchiha to make him turn out like this, or to work for Sazona for that matter. As the final scroll was set, Sasuke jumped away from the village and off towards the next one.

Neji glanced behind him as a huge explosion rocked the earth and pummels of smoke rose into the sky. Silently, he apologized in prayer for not being able to save the innocent people that had just lost their lives. His heart skipped a beat as he turned his head and saw Sakura following Sazona. They had to take out Sazona, who was busy making scrolls. Before Neji could pull out a weapon, Sazona and Sakura were off again.

Sasuke stopped every now and then to place down the scrolls, after the third one, he jumped back off into the forest, Neji behind him.

Pulling out two Kunai, he threw them at Sasuke and frowned when he disappeared into a cloud of dead flower petals. Turning around, he quickly used his Byakugan to find Sasuke. Dodging three throwing needles, he turned around and came face to face with Sasuke's swirling red and black eyes. A dark smile spread across his face.

"After I finish you off as a warm up. I plan on killing that pink haired bitch before Sazona finishes her off."

"What are you talking about? Sazona can't fight!" Neji spat as he jumped back and concentrated chakra to his hand. To his dismay, Sasuke copied his move.

"Obviously someone didn't brief you well enough before you left the village. Sazona is an S-class nin, with a few nasty tricks up his sleeve." Sasuke hissed into Neji's ear as he stabbed Neji in the back.

Neji jumped away from Sasuke, missing a fatal blow by inches. Ripping the weapon out of his back, he threw it hard at Sasuke, who once again disappeared into a cloud of dead petals. This was going to take a while.

-------

Sakura jumped out of the spinning weapon's path. "What the hell!"

"Nice dodge little ANBU member." Sazona chuckled as he coolly crossed his arms. "So, they teach you guys to become experts at lying or something. You must have failed because I saw right through your pathetic attempt. Uchiha is probably finishing off your sensei right now. I'll wait to finish you off until he gets here, he shows a lot of hatred towards you for some reason."

Sakura glared at him as she wiped a spec of her blood off her cheek. "Too bad I'm not going to be here."

"Oh? Why's that? You planning on going somewhere?"

"Yeah, right after I kick your ass!" She spat as she disappeared into a bunch of cherry blossoms, which slowly floated off into the wind.

Sazona chuckled as he reached down to his sash and unsheathed a sword. "Come out come out little girl…" He taunted as he looked around.

Sakura appeared behind him and sliced open his back, his blood spraying her lightly. She cursed as he jumped out of the way and sliced towards her with great speed. Sakura dodged his attacks and blocked the ones she couldn't dodge, when she made to perform a jutsu, Sazona sliced towards her catching her by surprise. But what sent chills down her spine is that he cut himself, and that he was smiling.

Sazona laughed and cut his other arm, smearing blood all over his hands, he threw some onto Sakura and jumped this way and that, trailing blood behind him.

'FREAK!' Inner Sakura yelled at the top of her lungs pointing at Sazona who was dancing around spilling his blood everywhere. 'Maybe I won't have to kill him after all… idiot.' Sakura watched as he laughed and spun around in circles jumping around like a crazed person.

----------

"What new techniques does Sazona know that we don't? I mean, since I'm going to die anyways… couldn't you tell me?" Neji asked panting and clutching to his left arm that lay limp beside him.

Sasuke frowned, he was panting a bit and Neji had managed to block the flow of chakra from both his arms. "Only one is really dangerous. He can make his blood explode."

"What? Wait… is that what was on the scrolls? How?"

"He writes a time, places down the explosive scroll and runs off."

"Wouldn't he die if he could do that?"

"Obviously not Hyuga. He's alive isn't he? It's the blood off and outside his body." Sasuke took three steps towards him and frowned as he sliced at the bloody body of Neji, who turned into a log. Sasuke scowled as he glared at the log. Clutching tightly onto his weapon, he jumped off towards Sazona. He had better things to do then hunting after a weak ninja.

Hyuga panted heavily as he clutched onto the trunk of the tree he was standing behind. He had to get to Sakura before Sasuke did. She could deal with one S-class ninja, but not two. Using his Byakugan he quickly located Sakura, who was standing there covered in blood, but she didn't appear to be harmed. Grinding his teeth together, he quickly zoomed towards her, ignoring the pain that he was in. He had to get to Sakura, he had to keep his promise. He had to get there in time.
