(A/N Thank you all once again for reading, reviewing, alerting, and favoriting my story. It truely means a lot to me. Writing is my passion and I'm happy that people think that I'm a good writer, but I promise that this won't go to my head. Okay maybe a little hehehehehe. I know that this story does have some flaws like my spelling and grammar but I'm getting better! Okay I won't waste anymore time because a lot of you are waiting for the action. So on with Chapter 11!)

Last Time:

"Fine on the count of three." Sakura said raising one hand getting ready to cancel out her jutsu. The fake mirrored her same movements.

"Three..." Sakura started concentrating on her genjutsu.

"Two.." The fake said her voice dripping with excitement.

"ONE! KAI!!" Both girls shouted at the same time releasing both their genjutsu's.

Every injury that Sakura sustained disappeared in thin air like they were never there. Ino realized that they probably were never there in the first place.

'So that was her object of surprise. That's actually a good idea making your enemy think that your too hurt to fight. So when they start going easy on you you attack them full force. They wouldn't know what's coming. Well if the person wasn't an expert at genjutsu anyway.' Ino thought over in her mind.

"What is the meaning of this!" shouted Tsunade bringing Ino out of her train of thought.

She quickly looked at the others who all had looks of disbelief and shock on their faces. Ino glanced at Sakura to see the girl frozen on the spot with her eyes widened in pure surprise. She turned her attention to the fake and just like everyone else her eyes widened in disbelief.

For standing there wasn't Hinata anymore, but a familar pink haired cherry blossom.

Regular talking and in present

Thoughts, lyrics, and flashbacks

Chapter 11: Another Haruno

Ino just stared at the person that looked exactly like her friend. Well she wasn't exactly like her because her clothes were different and there was a coldness in her eyes that Ino's never seen in Sakura's. Other than that they were exactly a like, it was kind of unnerving when you think about it.

"I'll say this again what is the meaning of this?" Tsunade shouted going into 5th Hokage mode.

The girl smirked at the Hokage and cocked her hip to the side. Her tight black pants showing the muscles in her legs as the tight black tank top showed off her cleavage. "What ever do you mean Tsunade-baa-chan." She cockily replied.

"What did you say!" Tsunade screamed in fury getting ready to smash the girls face in along with the building, luckily Shizune held back her master from doing anything too extreme.

All the other Sakura did was laugh at Tsunade, mocking her. Then she turned to Sakura giving her a look of disbelief. "I still can't believe we trained under her. Well I guess it was for the better I mean she did make us a hundred times stronger."

Sakura looked at the girl in confusion. "Who are you? Why do you refer to me as we?"

"Oh Sakura I'm hurt. How could you hurt my feelings like that? How can you be so mean to your little sister?" The girl replied her voice filled with mock hurt as her eyes swelled up with tears.

Now everyone looked at Sakura in absolute shock. "Sakura why didn't you tell me you had a sister!" yelled Naruto not really believing his eyes.

"Yeah and why is she trying to kill you?" Ino asked feeling a little hurt. Sakura, her best friend never told her that she had a little sister even though they've been friends forever.

"If I knew I had a little sister then I would have told you guys. I'm an only child this girl has to be a imposter." Sakura concluded pointing a finger at her look alike.

"Hey, I take that as an insult! Well I can't really blame you for not knowing me. I mean I was created without your knowledge." The fake Sakura said giving off a sigh.

"Before we do anything else I want an explaination from you." Sakura demanded slipping on her leather gloves.

"Well where do you want me to start?"

"A name would be nice."

"Okay the name I go by is Haruno Ren which means Spring of Romance . Also I like how it rolls off the tongue Haruno Ren." Ren said with a small smile on her face. To Ino it looked like she teasured her name a lot because everytime she said her name her eyes would light up in delight.

"Okay Ren why do you claim that your my sister?" Sakura asked trying to be as polite as possible given the circumstances.

Ren giggled at her sister before she explained herself. "Because silly we're both made from the same genes."

Sakura glared at her look alike, pissed off that she was mocking her intelligence. "I know that, but how were you made?" She was trying really hard not to beat this person.

"Like everyone else makes a baby with a bunch of tests and DNA samples." Ren explained like it was a normal everyday thing.

Before Sakura could continue Shikamaru decided to ask his own questions. "Wait so are you saying that your like some sort of clone of Sakura's?"

"Shikamaru that's impossible, theres no way in hell that she's a clone!" exclaimed Naruto who was standing right beside him.

Shikamaru covered his ears to prevent losing his hearing. "Well look at her; she looks exactly like Sakura and even has her fighting abilites and all her memories. Also Sakura's an only child so she's not her long lost little sister or something else bizarre."

Naruto looked at Ren with a confused look adorning his features. "Yeah but still..." He trailed off not finding the right words to say.

"Shikamaru your not a genius for nothing! Your right I am a clone, but I'm a hundred times better than the original." Ren confessed acting a little too cocky for the others liking.

"Now lets start fighting already I'm getting bored!" shouted Ren before crouching down slightly and disappearing into thin air.

Sakura barely had enough time to see her disappear before Ren appeared right in front of her. She had a kunai in her left hand and thrusted toward Sakura ready to stab her. Using quick reflexes she pulled out a kunai from her pouch and blocked the dangerous jab.

'She's good.' Both Kunoichi thought at the same time before they both jumped away from each other.

Naruto and Ino were about to jump in and help Sakura when the said girl lifted her hand out to stop them. "Don't interfere; this is my fight." She told them not even looking in their direction to see their reactions.

"Sakura we want to help you. You can't really think that you can fight her on your own?" Ino questioned worried for her friends well being.

Sakura turned her head slightly at Ino; her face held complete determination, but when her eyes met with Ino's she smiled softly at her. "You seriously think that a wannabe Sakura can beat me? Ino you think too little of me."

Ino held back her tears as she said from the bottom of her heart. "Sakura I just don't want to see you get hurt."

"I'll be fine just sit back and root for me." Sakura replied before she went back to facing her clone.

Naruto decided to try and cheer Ino up some more. He clapped his right hand on her shoulder causing Ino to look at him in confusion. All Naruto did was turn his head to the side and smile brightly at her. "Believe in her Ino. She's not the same little girl that you used to protect, she can take care of herself. Just have faith in her abilities like I do."

She didn't respond to his words, but she did listen to them as a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips. 'Well Sakura show me what you can do, I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines.'

Ren threw some shurikens at Sakura who easily dodged them by jumping in the air. Ren smirked at her counterpart before doing some super fast hand signs; once she was done she cupped her right hand over her mouth and yelled. "Fire Element, Grand Fireball Jutsu!"

Suddenly a huge fireball went hurtling towards Sakura who was still suspended in mid air. Thinking quickly Sakura started to rapidly form hands signs, as she finished she screamed. "Water Element, Water Barrier Wall Jutsu!"

A huge wall of water appeared around Sakura just as the fire came at her. A huge blast of steam rose into the air once the fire collided with the water. No one could see if Sakura was still alive or not.

"Neji activate your Byakugan." Kakashi ordered as he lifted his headband up showing his Sharingon. Both tried to see if they could locate Sakura but sadly both were unsuccessful.

"There's too much raw chakra in the area. I can sense Sakura's but that's about all I can do." Neji replied looking at the spot where Sakura was last sighted.

"Yeah I can't see either with this steam everywhere." Kakashi solumely said.

"Have faith Sakura will pull through, she's been in situations worse than this." Naruto exclaimed refusing to give up on his teammate.

Ren watched with a smirk. "Well looks like that was easier than I thought." She spoke too soon though as a stray kunai flew past her head lightly grazing her left cheek.

"You shouldn't take me that lightly." Sakura's voice said from somewhere in the theater. Ren looked around the area for any traces of the pink haired chuunin, but the room was pretty dark so she couldn't find her.

Another barrage of kunai flew at her and she dodged them the best she could; then another came once she recovered from the first one this time they came from under the ground.

"Shit!" Ren yelled as she jumped up in the air to avoid the weapons, then she noticed the kunai with the exploding tag attached to it flying right at her. "Damn it!" She shouted crossing her arms over her face to protect herself. The tag exploded sending Ren flying into a couple of beams that were made to hold up the building.

"TAKE THIS!!!" yelled a voice that was right behind her. Ren turned her head to see Sakura pull back her right fist before she brought it down on Ren's right cheek. Once they connected Ren felt an excruciating pain course throughout her body as she soared right through the glass window; she landed roughly on the ground outside.

She heard someone land on the ground beside her. "Did I hit you too hard? Sorry about that I guess you weren't as strong as I expected you to be." Sakura mocked her just as the others came outside.

Ren started laughing at Sakura who was taken aback by her reaction. "You seriously think that's all I can do?" She asked as some sort of black tatto started to surround her whole body. They looked exactly like sakura petal's. "Well your quite mistaken." Ren quickly jumped back on her feet.

"Wha...Where did you get that mark!" Sakura exclaimed shocked to see that Ren was marked with the curse seal just like Sasuke was.

"I thought you were smart Sakura, think about it who can give a person the curse seal?" Ren questioned as the black cherry blossom petals covered her entire body.

Sakura's eyes widened in shock as she realized who Ren was referring to. "Orochimaru was your creator wasn't he." She stated her voice just above a whisper. If it was true it would explain how Ren was created and where she got her curse seal.

"See I knew you would get it eventually. That's why I said that I was better than the original because I was created and trained by Orochimaru-sama. I came here to see if I can kill you; to see if taking the path of evil is truely better than taking the path of good. That's our reason in this fight." Ren said looking extremely mencing with that deadly glint in her eyes.

"How did Orochimaru manage to get a sample of Sakura's DNA?" questioned Tsunade pissed that her ex-teammate thought that he had the right to copy her prized students DNA for his own personal gain.

Ren held out her hand to show that three fingers were pointed out. "Three months ago Orochimaru managed to take a sample of Sakura's blood."

Ino saw the look of sorrow pass Sakura's face; her eyes had a far away look to them, like she was in other place. Suddenly she winced in pain when she realized that Naruto was gripping her shoulder really hard. Suddenly she was hit with a flashback.

----------

"Why doesn't she tell me anything? Naruto can't you tell me anything?"

"I can't tell you Ino I'm sorry. You didn't see her that day. You didn't see her when she pleaded with me to keep this promise no matter what."

"Can you at least tell me who did this to her and when it happened? Please Naruto I want to know I need to know. She's my best friend."

"Fine, but I'm only telling you that. Got it."

"It happened around 3 months ago. Everyone was out on missions except for Sakura, Kakashi-senshi, and I. That's how I found out. The person that started this whole mess was..."

"Sasuke."

----------

'Now I remember! Whatever happened three months ago is also why Sakura has been suffering so much. I want answers, but I also don't want to know like this. I want to know when Sakura is ready to tell me herself.' Ino thought over in her head as Naruto increased his grip on Ino's shoulder almost making it unbearable to stand.

"What happened three months ago?" Tenten asked the dreaded question that Sakura, Naruto, Kakashi, and Tsunade tried to avoid.

"Hmmm...Sakura you didn't tell your precious about what happened. I'm shocked." Ren faked a shocked expression, placing a hand over her chest.

"I think I know why you didn't tell anyone." Ren said placing her left index finger under her chin as she pretended to think over reasons.

"Shut up." Sakura stated her head looking at the ground.

Ren pretended that she didn't hear her as she continued. "Maybe the cries for help got to you."

"Shut up!" Sakura said louder this time, clenching her fists in rage.

"Or was it the fact that you couldn't do anything to save..." Ren was about to finish when Sakura interrupted her.

"I SAID SHUT UP!!!" Sakura screamed looking Ren in the eyes. Everyone was shocked by the young girls anger not really used to her showing this much killing intent.

"Or what your going to beg and plead like you did last time." Ren stated showing her infamous cocky smirk.

Sakura didn't reply to Ren's statment but she did yell in frustration and kick the ground causing a huge crack in the surface. Rubble flew everywhere as Ren jumped up in the air to avoid falling in the huge crack that appeared underneath her.

Sakura went straight towards her not thinking clearly because her emotions were getting in the way of her better judgement. She tried to punch Ren in the face but she easily dodged it, then she tried to aim a kick at her stomach but that was avoided as well. So this continued like that Sakura's attacks missing while Ren stayed on the defense waiting for the right time to strike.

That moment came when Sakura aimed a punch to her face, Ren caught her hand into hers before she forced a large portion of chakra into her fist. Sakura tried to pull away, but it was no use she was caught.

"Lets see how you like being hit by your own punches." Ren said before she punched Sakura in the stomach all her insane strength hitting Sakura dead on.

Feeling all the air knocked out of her Sakura closed her eyes and clutched her stomach. Wrong move on her part because then Ren landed a chakra enhanced kick right into her shoulder blade, breaking it upon contact.

She grinded her teeth in pain not wanting to show her clone the satisfaction of screaming in pain. Ren tried to land another punch on her, but Sakura blocked it with her hand; causing a small crator to appear under her feet. Her body shook from the blow, but she still stayed on her feet, too stubborn to give up.

'That curse seal made her at least twice as strong as before. No wonder she could hit me like that. Damn looks like I can't take her lightly anymore. It's time to get serious.' Sakura declared before jumping back a couple of feet to give her and Ren enough distance.

Ren laughed at Sakura's movement. "Running away can't save you because running is useless. I'll just find you and kill you."

Sakura started healing her shoulder blade then her ribs. Once she was done with that task she started to remove her vest.

"What's the point of stripping when your going to die?" Ren exclaimed not understanding her actions.

Ino heard a gasp to her right, she turned her head to realize that it was Tsunade that made the noise. "She really isn't taking her lightly. I told her not to take those off unless you absolutely had to, I guess she feels she has no choice now." The Hokage said to herself not realizing that the others heard her.

"Hokage-sama what are you talking about?" Chouji questioned as everyone looked between the two look alikes and their Hokage.

"Well if you have to know Sakura was holding back this whole time." Tsunade answered too focused on her pupil rather than the others. This fight was really starting to get out of hand.

"What do you mean by that?" Temari asked not believing that Sakura would waste time by holding back her power.

"Exactly what it means!" Tsunade snapped not liking to ask questions when she was trying to concentrate on something else. "Look just watch and quit talking." They listened to their Hokage afraid to bring her fury upon themselves.

When Sakura removed her vest they couldn't believe their eyes for when Sakura removed them they saw...

"Weights?" Ren asked in disbelief. "You've been using weights this whole time.

"Of course, you didn't actually think that that was my true potential did you?" Sakura asked as she went through a series of hand signs; when she finished the weights that covered her chest glowed a golden color before they fell to the floor with a huge CRASH.

"HOLY SHIT!!" exclaimed everyone from the Konoha 11 as they saw the huge crator that Sakura's weights left. It was almost as bad as when Lee let go of his weights during the Chuunin Exams.

"When did Sakura start to wear weights?" Ino asked thinking back to their sparring session a couple of weeks ago. 'Did she wear them even when I was fighting her? If so then I don't want to face her when she takes them off.'

"Around 6 months ago. Those weights are special weights created by me." Tsunade said as she watched her pupil with small smile on her face.

"Why are they so special?" Shino decided to ask.

"Because as well as putting a huge weight on the body it also slowly takes the chakra inside the body too; then once you take them off the weight is gone and the chakra inside the weights is sent back inside the body. I told Sakura to never take them off unless she absolutely has to." Tsunade told the others not telling them that this is actually step 1 training to another high class secret jutsu of hers.

Ino looked at her friend with a look of awe on her face. 'Wow she's gotten so much stronger than she was when she was younger. I just hope it's enough to beat her.'

A huge spike in Sakura's chakra appeared before she disappeared in blinding speed. Ren was so caught off guard by her speed that she didn't see Sakura appear in front of her until it was too late. With strength that rivaled even Tsunade's, Sakura unleashed that potential with a well placed uppercut under Ren's chin.

Ren flew up several feet in the air before Sakura appeared above her ready to punch her again, but Ren saw this coming. She pointed her arm at Sakura before yelling. "Hidden Snake Hand Jutsu." Several snakes flew out of Ren's sleeve wrapping around Sakura's arms, legs, and waist.

"Let's see you try to dodge this!" Ren yelled as she started to form hand signs; just as her and Sakura started to descend to the ground. She finished quickly and shouted, "Fire Element, Dragon Fire Jutsu!" A dragon made of fire shot right at Sakura hitting her dead on in the chest, her cries of help soon diminished as the fire shot right through her heart; killing her.

"SAKURA!!!!" Ino and Naruto screamed in horror as they just witnessed their best friend dying right before their own eyes.

Tears welled up in Ino's eyes before she turned to Naruto in anger. "You told me to just trust her and let her fight by herself! WELL LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs tears streaming down her face.

Naruto didn't say anything he was too overcome by shock. 'She can't be dead she just can't. I promised myself that I would alway's protect her.'

Tsunade's voice broke through their tormented minds. "It's not over yet." Was her only response lightly pointing at Ren.

Ren lightly landed on the ground a huge smirk on her face. "Hehehe...Well she wasn't so tough after...uh." She was cut short as she felt a horrible pain in her stomach. Ren looked down towards her stomach in shock, lightly touching the tip of the kunai that was sticking out of the front of her stomach. She slowly turned her head back to see a grinning Sakura who's hand was clutching the kunai that pierced right through her organ.

"Ho...how...did..you..manage?" She questioned as she coughed up some blood. This couldn't be happening she beat her when she was in the first level of her cursed seal form.

This time it was Sakura's turn to smirk. "I used a simple replacement jutsu with a shadow clone that I created. Sometimes even the weakest jutsu's can be the deadliest." She explained as she pulled out the kunai causing Ren to clutch her stomach to try to suppress the blood that was pouring out.

"It's no use your going to die soon, I hit a vital point." Sakura said watching Ren start to heal herself. She made sure to hit a spot that she cannot heal. Given how deep the wound is Sakura guessed she had an hour at the most.

"I know that, I'm just going to cover the wound." Once she was done healing her stomach she started to concentrate on her curse seal. "You really are my twin so to speak. Only my twin can make me go into level 2 of the curse seal. You should feel lucky."

Before Sakura could try to stop her Ren was already done with her transformation. Her hair grew longer and changed to a deep red almost like blood while her skin turned pink like her original hair color. Her eyes seemed to glow now and a long katana appeared in her right hand. She smirked which showed her long fangs before she started talking. "I may not have very long to live, but at least I have the chance to take you down with me."

"Why do you want to kill me so bad?" Sakura asked her clone shocked that she could look so monsterous.

"Because it's your fault that I've suffered, your fault that when I was born I bore no real name, your fault that I can't be different from you because everytime I try and be different it alway's has to have something in common with you!" Ren exclaimed anger and malice mergining with her chakra making her seem even more mencing.

Sakura was kind of taken off guard by her response. "What do you mean by that?"

"I may look 16 but in reality I'm only 3 months old. During that short amount of time I had no name to call my own, no real memories, and no quality that can define me for me. The only thing I had was your name, your memories, and your qualities. At first I didn't mind it I actually looked up to you, but the more I thought about it the more I started to dispise you. I came to realize that if I died no one would know about my existence, but if you died everyone you know will mourn your loss. That's when I started to change. I found myself a name I liked, I created my own memories, and I turned to the path of evil; a path I knew you would never take. That's when I decided I wanted to fight you and kill you. To show that I truely exist in this world." Ren finished her extremely long story a few unshed tears rolling down her cheeks.

Sakura looked at her clone in a new light, not realizing that if you look at it it's actually her fault that she turned into this person. "I'm sorry." Was all she could say guilty for causing this much pain.

Ren laughed harshly at her counterpart. "Like you mean it."

"I do."

"Then you'll do whatever I say."

"I can live with that."

"I don't have much time left to live, you and I both know that with this stomach wound, so give me your all. No holding back if I win we both die, if you win I still die and you live. It's a fair trade." Ren declared in a strong voice as a small drip of blood oozed out of the corner of her mouth. She tried her best to ignore the burning sensation in her stomach because she's been waiting to fight Sakura like this and she be damned if a stomach wound was going to stop her.

"No it's not a fair trade, but I'll comply anyway if that's what you really want." Sakura said feeling terrible now that she understands why Ren did what she did. If she knew earlier then she wouldn't have made that fatal stab wound and Ren would not being dying right now.

"Yes it's what I want." Was Ren's only response as she got into a fighting stance.

Sakura sighed not wanting to fight her anymore, but she had to go by her wishes. So with a sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach she got ready to use her ultimate fighting jutsu. She brought both her hands out in front of her and started to concentrate.

Ino decided to look at Tsunade to see what Sakura was doing. "What is that technique?" She asked her friends sensei.

Tsunade sighed sadly before she turned to glance at Ino then look back at Sakura. "That Ino is my ultimate jutsu. Only Sakura and I can use it, but Sakura hasn't quite mastered it yet. She still passes out halfway through going through the jutsu."

Shizune looked at her master in shock. "You taught her that jutsu! You know what it does when you use it too many times!" She screamed furious that Tsunade would even think about teaching her that jutsu.

"Shizune," Tsunade glared at her oldest apprentice making the young woman stop what she was doing. "Don't ever question my judgement. I felt that Sakura was ready for me to teach her that technique."

"Tsunade-baa-chan what jutsu did you teach her?" Naruto questioned his Hokage earning a glare from the older woman.

"It's called the Genesis of Rebirth and it unseals unused chakra." Tsunade explained to the group.

"How exactly does it work?" Shikamaru asked having never heard of this jutsu before.

"First you have to store usused chakra; to be able to do that you compress it and seal it away in your body. When you need it all you have to do is unseal the stored chakra and you can use that chakra for whatever purpose you want it to do. In Sakura and I's case we use that chakra to heal all our wounds making us invincible; when we use this jutsu we can never die." Tsunade explained to them with a smile to ease their worries.

'But what they don't know is that whenever you use that technique to hasten healing it also shortens your overall lifespan.' Tsunade thought inside her mind not having the heart to tell her friends the bad side to this jutsu.

Sakura was finally done with her jutsu as she shouted. "Ninja Arts, Genesis of Rebirth." Any bruises or cuts that Sakura sustained were all gone like that, though, she did feel an immense pain go through her chakra coils. She wasn't used to this jutsu yet and she knew she didn't have long till she passed out from the pain so she had to make this quick.

Both girls disappeared into thin air before they appeared again fist connecting with blade, it was a draw. They disappeared again only to have the same thing happen again. This went on like that, but after a while both girls were starting to feel the after effects of their own techniques.

"Dammit I don't have much time left. I...have...to finish this." Ren panted looking across the area at Sakura who looked just as tired as she was.

"We've been going at it for 10 minutes at this level. I'm surprised I lasted this long without fainting. I can't keep going on like this though, the next attack will be the last." Sakura declared as she got ready to use her last secret technique.

Ren started to force all her chakra into her blade making fire surround it. "Fire Element, Burning Slash Jutsu!" She shouted at the top of her lungs using the last of her chakra to run top speed towards Sakura.

Sakura held her right palm out and focused all her chakra in one spot on her hand. Using her excellent chakra control she started to spin her chakra counter-clock wise in a fast motion as the pure chakra started to resemble a baseball. "Rasengan!" Sakura shouted at the top of her lungs before running at Ren with all her might.

Ino looked at Naruto in shock. "Since when can Sakura use your ultimate jutsu!?" Ino exclaimed not believing her eyes.

Naruto smiled at the blonde before he explained. "Well Sakura caught Jiraiya peeking in on her in the baths so in exchange for him to live he taught her the Rasengan. You really don't want to go into detail it gets quite gruesome." Ino just nodded her head in understanding before she turned her attention to her best friends fight.

Both Kunoichi met halfway. Ren quickly crouched down a little and used her sword in an upward slash; slicing Sakura's chest open and setting the cut on fire. Sakura's blood splattered everywhere making it hard to tell what the girls clothes used to look like. The slash started from her left hip and went all the way up to her right shoulder. Sakura gritted her teeth trying not to lose focus on the task at hand.

Once Ren was done with her attack it left her wide open. Using all her power Sakura slammed her Rasengan into Ren's stomach causing the thin amount of flesh there to burn away. The swirl of chakra sent her flying in a spinning motion into the academy building.

Sakura's Genesis of Rebirth was halfway done with healing her wound before it wore away still leaving a huge gash across her chest. It managed to heal her organs and her burns, but the loss of blood could still kill her. Sakura gasped as the pain hit her full force, but for reasons unknown she managed to stay on her feet. Using only sheer will power Sakura slowly started to walk over to her clone, Ren.

Ren's curse seal started to disappear as she took on her original form. She was slumped against the side of the building, too weak to move an inch. She was slowly fading away and she knew that no one will remember her when she's gone. Truely she felt like crying, but her pride made her hold them back. Suddenly she heard someone fall right in front of her. Using the last of her strength she looked up only to stare into eyes identical to hers.

"Well looks like you won Sakura." Ren weakly replied a sad smile on her face. She didn't want to fade away like this.

Sakura shook her head softly. "No I didn't win Ren. No one won."

"What are you talking about? Clearly you won, your going to live." Ren tried to explain confused at what she was saying.

"What's the point in living when you have to die?"

"I still don't understand?"

"Ren I don't feel like a winner if you have to die. Your a person too, you have just as much right to live as I do." Sakura declared gently lying her hand on Ren's prone one.

Ren looked away from Sakura not wanting to deal with these emotions before she died. "Sakura I was artificially made from your genes. You were made by a male and a female, while I was made by lab tests. You have parents while the only thing that I can call my parents are the scientists that created me. I'm not supposed to exist can't you see that." She tried to explain to her the best that she could.

"That doesn't matter Ren, can't you see that. Your a person with your own name, thoughts, emotions, memories, and personal qualities. It doesn't matter if you had parents or not, all that matters is that your alive. Can't you see that you have just as much of a right to exist as I do." Sakura exclaimed tears starting to fall down her cheeks.

Ren's eyes widened at Sakura's words she turned her head to look at her and was shocked to see her actually crying over her. "Sakura your wrong I'm just a clone and when I die no one will remember me." She said as a few tears fell down her cheeks. She voiced out the one thing that she has alway's feared, to fade away and have no one care.

"Ren your the one who's wrong because your not just a clone, it's like your my twin sister or something." Sakura then grabbed Ren's hand and lifted it up. She used both her hands to cup Ren's before she started talking again. "And when you die I promise that I'll never forget you for as long as I live. You will alway's be Haruno Ren my younger twin sister."

She couldn't believe that the one person that she swore to kill was actually being this compassionate to her. Never in her life would she think that her most precious person would be Haruno Sakura of all people. Ren smiled a true smile at her sister. "The only thing that I regret is not being friends with you sooner. I think that if I did you would have made my life very happy."

With her final words spoken Ren then closed her eyes forever as she took her final breath; though the smile on her face didn't leave when she died. Sakura couldn't stop the flow of tears that came from her eyes. This is the second time that she couldn't save someone precious to her and it really hurt her.

Though Sakura didn't dwell long on her feelings as the pain in her chest plus her exhaustion became too much for her to handle. The last thing that she saw before she blacked out was the serene smile of Ren, her twin sister.

(A/N Okay that is the end of chapter 11 hoped you all liked it because I enjoyed writing it. I have to say though I did make the ending really depressing poor Sakura and Ren that has to suck.

About Ren's character; well at first she was just supposed to be evil that's it, but I think that the more I wrote this out the more her character developed. Now I feel really bad about killing her the way I did, but I had to because there was no way that I could fit her into the rest of my story. Her death will leave permanent scars on Sakura and it will also bring more of a plot to the story. Also I hoped that you all loved the action and it didn't seem too rushed for I tried to drag it out the best that I could.

Next chapter will be the aftermath of the whole fight and Ino will discover something important about Sakura that she never knew before. Please read and review because I write faster when I get a lot of responses. So till next time SEE YA!!! )
