Bundyangel: Hiya all! Things have been good lately so not only did I get inspired to write the rest of this story, but I also found a song that inspired a NEW story! Not sure what the title will be though, oh well.
Still no one has told me what the headbands proper name is and I can't find it anywhere.
Any who, here is the ONLY reviewer I got
sequha
Thanks to sequha for being super awesome and reviewing every chapter I posted. That is much appreciated )

Me: Well… uhh… I kind of don't have anyone to do it again… UGH-!
-Is glomped by Ino-
Me: Ino?! What the hell?!
Ino: I heard you say last chapter that you didn't have anyone to do the disclaimer! Then you said it again today! I was going to do it the last chapter cause it would kick it up a notch!
-Ino proceeds to run a hand through her ponytail and smile-
Me: umm... Well Okay then! Go ahead at it!
Ino: Gladly! Bundyangel does not own Naruto the plot of Naruto or any of the characters in the Naruto series! She does however own this little symbol she drew and a rubber band around her wrist!
Me: Oh em gee zee! Ino! You actually did the disclaimer without insulting or embarrassing me!
Ino: Of course I didn't, silly! I'm an okay person like that! Plus how could I insult you when you managed to get Lee and Gai in a box? That is true power that should not be trifled with!
Me: True that.

(Normal P.O.V.)
Neji's eyes narrowed and his stance visibly shifted into a wary one. Sasuke rolled his Sharingan eyes and crossed his arms, the appearance of relaxation except for his shoulders tensed at a particularly pathetic whimper from Sakura. Neji shifted his eyes to Sakura and he tried once again to come up with a plan that would involve the help of the Uchiha. Sighing he too crossed his arms and glared at Sasuke,
"So what exactly do you need me for?" Neji glared darker when Sasuke smirked,
"Orochimaru says that he underestimated the amount of chakra she had, and so putting the seal on her at the level he did is making her chakra explode. If we can't force our way to her and calm her down she'll die. The seal will destroy her chakra and her life if she cant learn to get some kind of hold on it." Sasuke looked right into Neji's eyes, "That's why I need you. We will need chakra to force through hers and right now I don't have enough because of my fight from earlier. Despite what most think, I really don't want Sakura to die."
Neji looked away from Sasuke at Sakura and gave a barely visible nod. Sasuke turned to face Sakura and made a few hand signs. Making the last one he yelled out so Neji could hear him,
"You're going to need to focus your chakra like a blade or drill to pierce through her chakra. Whatever the hell happens don't fucking stop forcing your chakra. If you do it'll crush you. Don't count on her not wanting to hurt you. She has no control of it." Clenching his hands dark blue chakra surrounded Sasuke's hands. The chakra roared to life and shot up three feet like a chakra sword or spear. Smirking at Neji he ran forward at fast as he could without using chakra before using it to push his way into the pink and black flame like chakra.
Neji smirked back and made the seals Sasuke had. Unlike Sasuke's, forest green chakra surrounded Neji's hands and pulling them apart he held two shorter chakra swords in his hands and quickly caught up to the younger Uchiha.
Reaching the edge of the chakra and passing through it was like they were being burned alive and once inside the dome of chakra it was like walking through arctic waters. Everything was cold and stinging. They couldn't hear anything. They thought it was loud outside but it was an excruciating roaring inside of it. It only got worse when the Pink chakra touched their chakra and started to swirl dangerously.

(Sakura's P.O.V.)
Everything has gone black… at least… that's what it looks likeMy eyes are open but I can't see anything
Wait a minute…
What's that?
Is that Neji? It is!
Who's that with him? It can't be Naruto. Naruto had red chakra…
Or at least Kyuubi does,
But not Naruto.
Is it… Sasuke? It couldn't be Sasuke…could it? He wouldn't come to try and help me…
Would he?
No.
No he wouldn't.
Sasuke hates me, just...
Just as I hate him.
No wait, I don't hate Sasuke!
Do I?
Yes! I do! He left me! He left Konoha!
I hate you Sasuke-kun!
I hate you!

(Normal P.O.V.)
Neji and Sasuke continued to press through desperately trying to get to Sakura and help her somehow. A large crater had started to develop under and Sakura causing Sasuke and Neji to concentrate a little chakra under their feet to walk across the pink chakra instead of walking into the crater.
After about 20 minutes of pushing through they finally breached through into the inner sphere of chakra where it was quieter but the chakra was heavier. Neji and Sasuke were shocked by the sight that met their eyes.
Sakura was curled into the fetal position and most of her clothes were shredded. Her shoes and weapon pouches were gone and the clothe to her headband was gone. The metal clutched in her now bleeding hand started to chip and break off making small nicks and scratches on her hand. The entire left side of her body was covered in red-hot petal marks that danced and turned as they started to eat up the right side.
Sasuke and Neji glanced at each other. Just from that look they confirmed what they already knew. They needed to stop this or Sakura was a goner. Sasuke took a few steps to his right towards Neji and about a foot away started shouting, even though to Neji it sounded like whispering,
"We need to get her attention! She has to calm down and get some kind of human contact. Right now her mind is destroying her, the curse mark is only making it worse!" Neji nodded to show that he heard. He then shouted back,
"How do we get her attention? We can't get any closer then this on our own!" Sasuke stepped forward and turned so he was shoulder to shoulder with Neji.
Concentrating on his hands the dark blue chakra sword melted down and became a ball of chakra around his hands that he held together in the standard chakra seal. Neji nodded again in understanding and held his hands together as well so it was a ball of chakra like Sasuke except it was the deep green of his own chakra. The two-shinobi thrust their arms forward forcing the chakra out like a beam or blast.
The flaming pink chakra drew back and made a loud hissing sound. Thankfully it parted and began to retract. It continued to retract until it reacted and slashed back at them, shoving Sasuke and Neji back several feet.
Grunting in annoyance and somewhat surprise, Neji tried harder, focusing more. His gaze widened and his arms tensed in surprise as the chakra disappeared.
Okay it didn't really just 'disappear'. It rolled backward on itself like some twisted pink and black tie-dyed cloud. There was a low rumble and a slight vacuum sound as it disappeared into the pink-haired kunoichi and glowing slightly in its after math she slowly lowered to the ground.
Sasuke and Neji dropped their hands in shock. Glancing over at Sasuke, Neji could see that, whatever that was, it was not part of the plan. Neji quickly streaked forward and hovered over the kunoichi,
'I'm too late.'
Sakura was different. The black petals completely covered her form. Her hair was longer going two inches or so past her shoulders and the ends curled slightly, the color a deeper and richer pink. She had long black nails and small black dots at the corner of her eyes. Her lips were a hot pink outlined in dark black. In the middle of her forehead was a fully bloomed black cherry blossom. But what stopped Neji the most we're her eyes they were completely black except for her irises were yellow. ((B-a/n: Think like Sasuke's eye after Naruto caught up with him after he betrayed Konoha))
"Sakura? Are you all right? Sakura? Sakura?! Saku- !" Neji had grasped Sakura's shoulders and shook her to get her attention before her eyes snapped up to meet his, a deadly intention reflected in their strange gaze,
"Don't interfere."
"Sakura? What the hell are you going on about? 'Don't interfere'. Don't interfere with what?" Neji demanded dropping his slight hold on her shoulders.
"I don't want to hurt you or have to force you Neji so I warn you. Don't. Interfere."
"Sakura I still don't understand what you tal-." Neji never got to finish his sentence as Sakura disappeared.
Neji whipped around to see her standing front of Sasuke. Sasuke's onyx eves skimmed over her face taking in all of her features, but he missed the one thing he should has observed.
The plain, uninhibited furry in her black and golden gaze.
Sasuke smirked and reached out to touch her cheek. He never got the chance however as Sakura's pink-black lips twisted into a snarl and she raised her fist, still clutching her headband and smashed it into his face sending him soaring back a few feet before he flipped over and landed on all fours,
"What the hell Sakura?!" Sasuke snarled and his eyes bled to crimson.
"Bastard!" Sakura hissed at him as the chakra danced over her still extended fist, "That's for your pedophile of a sensei making me cry for the first time since you left!" Sakura disappeared and appeared next to him, grabbing his arm and flinging him into the small grove of trees left from her chakra,
"That's for knocking me unconscious and leaving me on a bench when we were twelve!" Sakura ran forward after him and continued to roar out her pain,
"A bench for gods sake! A BENCH! Do you know how fucking cold and hard that thing was?!" Sasuke looked up in time to dodge the kick aimed for his spine.
He pulled out a kunai and blocked the one she had slammed down at him. She shoved him back with her other hand and sunk the kunai deep into his upper arm causing him to swear loudly,
"That was for Naruto! God knows he probably wishes he could do it himself!" Sasuke pulled out the kunai and flung it to the side before he ran at her kicking her backwards so she hit a tree.
Before she could slide down the trunk or react he was there with a hand around her neck and his Sharingan spinning. She raised a chakra-covered hand to slam down and break his arm when he knocked it to the side and roughly pushed his lips onto hers.
Sakura froze and scarcely remembered to breathe as his soft lips probed and sucked at her own. Sakura almost gave a whimper of protest when he broke the contact and she once again stared into the endless polls of his onyx eyes. He smirked at her and slipped his hand up from her neck to cup the back of her head,
"I don't control what Orochimaru does, so its not my fault he made you cry. As for knocking you unconscious, you should be grateful. I could have killed you or left you on the even colder and harder ground. And the dobe?" Sasuke snorted, "The only thing I did was beat the crap out of him which what I did every other day when I was still in Konoha." Sasuke let go of Sakura and took a couple steps away.
Sakura growled and launched at Sasuke again throwing punches and kicks,
"Grateful? Grateful?! I should be grateful because you decided to not be a big an ass as per your usual?! Fuck you Uchiha! You should have killed me, because then I wouldn't be here to kill you now!" Sakura charged her fist with chakra and struck the ground, it cracked and fell inward while the pink chakra Sakura released danced around in the crevice like electricity.
Sasuke leaped high into the air and formed some seals. Putting his fingers to his lips he blew a large ball of fire at the spot where Sakura had crouched not moments ago. As the fire dissipated Sasuke landed on one knee and glanced around. Concentrating a minute he suddenly snapped his eyes to the side a reaching out a hand grabbed the wrist that burst from the ground reaching for his ankle and he swiftly ripped her from the ground holding her several inches off the ground by her arm,
"Sakura, don't try the parlor tricks that pervert Kakashi uses. It won't work on me. I'm the favorite remember? I know all of those, plus those you could never learn." Sasuke flung her off to the side and formed seals again.
He held his left arm out as the crackling started and then the sound of 1000 birds crying out at once. Sakura stood and smiled. Sasuke almost lost his hold on Chidori when Sakura made the same seals and formed a Chidori of her own,
"I'll look forward to the time when you'll show me one, but that unfortunately isn't now!" Sakura held her Chidori out to the side and ran at Sasuke, holding it low to the ground so it left a scorching mark.
Sasuke smirked and mirrored her movements. The wind ripped around them, pushing the hair from their faces and plastering their clothes to their skin. Simultaneously they brought their Chidori's to shoulder level and then jabbed out sharply so the twin balls of crackling chakra hit each other and recoiled with an explosion.
As the both landed upright Sakura growled in anger and reaching into her pouch threw out several shuriken's. Sasuke sighed and simply stepped to the side and waited till he heard the sound of them hitting tree bark before he disappeared from view. Sakura spun around trying to pinpoint him and growling once more, screamed out,
"Damn it Uchiha! Don't you hide from me! I hate you Uchiha! You're a coward who can't face the fact that I'm stronger then you now!" Sakura felt tears stream down her cheeks and she sunk to her knees. Sasuke narrowed his eyes but didn't move from his hiding spot,
"I hate you Sasuke, I hate you!" Sakura's voice cracked on the last word and she furiously wiped away the tears,
"I hate you for making these tears! I hate you for thinking you can waltz back into my life without a consequence! I hate you for abandoning us! I hate you because you don't care! I hate you for leaving me! I hate you so much Sasuke!" Sakura punched a fist into the ground as she gasped for air and hiccupped once,
"I hate myself even more for the fact that I still care! I hate that I still want you to come back! I hate that I need your respect!" Sakura's arms collapsed down to her elbows and her shoulder shook as she continued to cry with her face buried in her arms.
Sakura didn't stop crying when he appeared over her and she didn't look up when he softly said her name,
"Sakura." He paused, "You're worse then annoying now. You're rather pathetic." Sasuke crossed his arms before turning and walking away.
Sasuke calmed when he felt the curse mark on her start to retract and with it, the massive chakra. He was about fifteen meters away when he heard her scream of outrage. Looking over his shoulder Sasuke saw Sakura take maybe three steps before her eyes widened and her knees buckled. He took a step back to run and catch her when a tall Jounin body appeared next to her and quickly gathered her close.
Sasuke glared through his Sharingan as Neji looked up and glared with his Byakugan. Neji picked up Sakura and held her close as he spat out at Sasuke,
"If you come near her again Uchiha and I'll rip out that hunk of ice in your chest you call a heart and shove it down your throat." Sending one more piercing glare Neji looked down at Sakura relieved to see the last of the black petals retract and settle back into the curse mark they emerged from. Neji turned and running off heard the satisfied, smug 'Hn.' From the Uchiha before he felt the sound ninjas chakra signatures disappear.
After a few minutes of running Neji encountered Shikamaru and Naruto. He barely slowed down enough to motion for them to follow quickly before he sped off again, Naruto and one of his clones Carrying Shikamaru hot on his trail.

Love you all, I promise ill update soon!
Also I'm debating whether or not I should put a lemon in this story. Tell me what you think.
…
… Okay for those of you who don't know what a lemon is it's a sex scene, yeah I would change the rating but it's just something I'm playing around with. Maybe I should save it till part 2 of my trilogy.
