*I do not own Naruto*
Chapter 2
Special Meeting
I don't remember much of the rest of the test; my mind was wrapped around the chakra and power I felt. With the ninja Kabuto hanging around us I felt a strange pull to him I wasn't sure what it was.
I awoke from my fight with Ino, nothing strange happened and nobody noticed anything. I had the same dream about them leaving me .It loomed over my head and his face and it still sent chills down my spine. I looked over and Ino was still asleep. Naruto was busy as was Sasuke. I got up from my spot and headed to the restrooms.
I entered the large bathroom that was empty I turned on the sink splashing the cold water against my face,I opened my eyes and saw in the mirror Kabuto was standing behind me. I turned around and he was smirking at me.
"Hello Sakura"
"What are you doing in the girl's bathroom?"
"I wanted to talk to you."
I narrowed my eyes as he took a step closer poking me where my hidden mark was.
"You like the power don't you?" He smiled.
I glared at him and then looked away.
"You can see it in your eyes, and you can get stronger, the potential is there, and Lord Orchimaru can unlock it." My eyes widen
'So that's the name of the man who did this to me.'
"Not many people can break a paralysis jutsu you know." His smile grew bigger. "You have power and well from the looks of it…nobody else even realizes it…its going to be a waste." He stared into my eyes
"They still see you as the weak little girl with a big forehead." He put his hand on my forehead and leaned in whispering something in my ear.
"If you don't want it to go to waste then in one week meet my four associates outside of Konaha." Suddenly a puff of smoke happened and he was gone, I stumbled out the bathroom.
Sasuke was walking a lil ways past.
"Hi Sasuke." I smiled and ran to him. He looked my way, his eyes still laced with concern but he tried hiding it with simply saying "Hn."
We walked in silence back to the chunin exam.

I waited in the final hour thinking about the past week and everything felt the same like nothing happened. Kabuto's offer lingered in my head, I wasn't going to go but as the week wore on it was obvious I was gonna have to leave. Even training was the same they treated me like I wasn't strong or I wasn't capable of competing with them. Kakashi spent lots of time with Sasuke and that old pervy guy hung out with Naruto a lot. I felt very alone.
As the clock hands neared the time I was supposed to leave I stared at the picture of the four of us. I set down the frame face down and began packing my bag with the bare essentials. As I walked out of my room I was faced with my parents closed one, my throat felt tight and my eyes watery, I hope they would understand my decision. I walked out my front door and walked slowly to the gates. I was still nervous to leave. I was leaving my friends and family behind but Kabuto was right whatever power I had would go to waste and I would end up like my parents or just like the other ninjas here. I would be forgotten I would be stuck behind Sasuke and Naruto's shadow and I wanted to be remembered.
"Sakura…" I turned to see Sasuke my heart stopped.
"What are you doing?" he asked taking a few steps closer.
"I could ask you the same thing." I chucked.
"Why are you leaving? What about your friends, and your family…your parents." He glared coldly.
"Is this about that man…how can you be so selfish you have everything." His voice began to get shaky as his sharigan activated.
" No I don't Sasuke. I am so alone I watch you and Naruto get attention and get stronger…what do I, your protection? I want to protect myself; I don't want to be known as your teammate for the rest of my life." I began to cry, the warm tears streaked down my cheeks and down my chin.
"I want to be strong too…and if this what I have to do to do it…then I will." I walked closer to him.
"You'll be a criminal."
I smiled at that. "It's too late to worry about me now." I went on my tiptoes and kissed him on his forehead before whispering "Thank you." And handing him my headband with the slash through it and closing his hand around it I looked at him one last time with a sad smile on my face before knocking him out and taking him to the bench.
As I walked away I wiped the tears from my face but the sadness in my heart was harder to erase. I waked through the gates and a little farther away before four ninjas met me.
"Are you Haruno Sakura?"
"Yes."
