Summary: Sakura makes a stupid wish that leads her to a trouble that ends up having a tail, ears and whiskers. Yup Naruto. But it seems more trouble came with it. And on top of that she has sealed the power of Naruto in her so she can get that one wish. NaruSaku

Author's Note:WOW! My hits went up and so did my review and alerts. Man that last chapter was what like a normal not so important chapter. Kinda strange.

A Wish Upon a Shooting Star

Chapter 8: Execution of our hero

"What am I doing here? I should be asking you that, Sakura Haruno." The boy had finished saying. Sakura slowly backed away. 'Who is he? I remember him from Naruto's artwork, the guy with red hair looking at him.' "Who are you and how do you know my name?"

"My name is Gaara, Naruto's demon friend. He told me about you." Gaara looked up at the sky. " I"m busy right now, so if you don't have a reason to be here leave." "Busy? Doing what?" Gaara pointed to a star that looked like it was coming there way. "Waiting for him." Sakura stared at the star."Is it Naruto?"

Gaara smiled at Sakura's concern for Naruto, "No, but I do know where he is and I'll take you to him, but it comes at a price." "What's the price?"Sakura asked him. "You have to fight the demon that is coming down from that star, the Kyuubi had made it my job to fight him since he is very dangerous. And the monsters will take to long, but I find that to boring, it would be far more interesting to see a human fight him." Sakura didn't know what to think of that deal, she could end up fighting him, maybe winning and finding Naruto. Or she could just end up leaving and not dieing from a demon and be depressed the rest of her life. Hmmm, tough choices... "Fine, I'll do it, but you better keep your side of the deal. But how can I fight him?" "Demonic powers are changed by emotions, so one of the emotions you have will activate Naruto's remaining power thats inside you."

Then the star was getting closer and closer while they were talking. Then it went right past Sakura and she felt a breeze. It crashed right behind her.

She then turned around very slowly, afraid of seeing another demon in their demonic form. Out of the smoke from the impact, came a boy who had red hair as well but he seemed to have a huge black robe and bloody red eyes. "Sasori, nice to see you." Gaara had said to Sasori. "Ha, what are you here for? To make sure I get eaten by those damn monsters."

Gaara just pointed at Sakura and so Sakura slowly backed away. "No, I'm not. See that girl over there, she is going to kill you instead of the monsters." Sakura's eyes were wide open, "What, why are you telling him that?" Gaara didn't answer but just smiled and stepped back a bit. "Shut your mouth, woman and fight me." Sasori had yelled at her.

Sakura was shaking and her mind was racing, her thoughts of what to do and how the heck she is going to win this was in her head. Then she felt a cold air around her neck and looked ahead and saw Sasori and Gaara standing there. 'Who is that then?' She turned around and came face to face with Sasori, she quickly turned around and Sasori was still there. There was 2 of them staring right at her. "I see you met my puppet." She stepped back 2 steps and fell to her knees and was incredibly shocked. Then the puppet touched her forehead and she couldn't feel her body. There was smoke around her and the puppet. The puppet changed into something else. It was someone Sakura was familiar with... It was Sasuke.

"See, humans have emotions which makes them vulnerable when it comes to fights, little girl. It makes them feel uncomfortable when they fight. They can't force themselves to fight someone they know. Especially someone they like. And if you know anything about demons we need a human to put our powers in and little girl, Gaara here will probably kill me if the monsters or you don't. But there is something else I can do, I can give my power to you right now and still live. That is if you are worthy enough."

Sasuke started to walk towards Sakura and Sakura was crawling backwards until she hit a tree that was behind her. She got up and was about to run until Sasuke or the puppet's hand made contact with the part of the tree beside her left ear. She gulped and walked away from the puppet. She didn't have to do this, she didn't have to get herself killed. "Ha, running away, are you little girl? Afraid that this boy that my puppet is, will hurt you or do you need someone to protect you. Can't you do anything yourself?" Sasori was probably right, Sakura was always depending on Naruto even when Sasuke had scared her at the park, maybe thats why she can't fight him because she can't tell if he'll do the same thing, but now she had a chance to fight back and what was she doing, running away. She can't run away forever, she had to do something.'This may not be the real Sasuke, but I have been waiting so long to do this to him. And if I know Naruto, the emotion he used to get his power was anger.'

Sakura slowly turned around, a fire in her eyes, her hands turned to fists, her body was staring to glow a red colour and her body felt hot and then she lifted up her arm and stared right at the fake Sasuke , she punched Sasuke and he flew a few feet and fell beside Sasori, "Whoever decided,w ho I liked?" Sasori was astonished. Naruto's power had changed Sakura it was like she was a totally different person then before. Saori turned to Gaara for some answers to where her so called power came from. "Wondering who's power that is? It is Naruto Uzamaki's." "You have the power of that brat, Naruto ? Well this will be interesting, I've always wanted to fight him and this is the next best thing."

Sasuke got up but he changed again to something else Sakura knew. Sadly it didn't seem to be any one she didn't know but instead someone she knew to well. She was looking straight into blue eyes. She was looking at Naruto. "Might be hard to fight the person who gave you those powers." Sakura smirked at that comment, She kicked Naruto in his stomach and backed up, "Stop underestimating me, you puppet boy." Naruto got up and changed again and this time Sakura was looking at her reflection, no, her clone. And Sakura charged at the fake and swung punches at it, the puppet kept dodging them and then grabbed her arm and twisted her body away from the puppet. Sakura's back was on the hard cold puppet's chest. "Can you really fight yourself?" Sasori had asked.

She laughed at that statement. "I think that would be the easiest thing to fight right now." She could say that and mean it too. She was incredibly mad at herself for all the stupid things that she did and if she could punch herself and not be hurt, she would do it. She can finally take her anger out towards herself or at least to the fake her. She put all her energy and power into her right fist, her eyes grew completely red and you couldn't tell she was still herself. Naruto's power was destructible and taking over her. She ran so fast you couldn't see her and then all you could her was a huge crack, and when the smoke from that cleared, you could see a huge hole on the ground. Sasori was taken back by it, 'This is the power of that kid.' The puppet was running backwards towards Sasori, but before it could make it, its head broke and scattered into million pieces. The puppet was on the ground in little pieces. Sakura glared at Sasori, "You're next."

Sasori didn't even have a chance to turn around, because Sakura was standing in front of him, and he panicked and fell to the ground."This is for underestimating me because of my emotions." Sakura stepped on his chest. "This is for using your puppet to be people I know." She pressed harder with her foot."And this is for thinking that Naruto was a brat." And she pushed so hard that the impact had hurt Sasori and the earth beneath him. Sasori was holding onto her foot trying to stop her but after that happened, he didn't move anymore.

Gaara was clapping and he pulled Sakura away from Sasori, "A deals a deal , Let's go." They stood there and a light appeared beneath them. They were floating above the ground and were going up. Sakura had calmed down and wasn't glowing. "Whoa, what happened?"

Gaara looked at her in disbelief, "You don't remember?" She nodded no, "Well, I remember something about the demon and Sasuke, that's all." Gaara had figured it out, having used the power, she lost herself and so she doesn't remember, it was almost like Naruto was fighting with her. She did fight like him. "Well, you won and a deals a deal." "Then where are we going?"

Gaara had told her to look around and she looked back at him, "We're going to the land of the demons." She kept looking around and realized that everything was tiny, her house, Sasori and his puppet. "I have a question, why did you fight back there anyway? You could have just left and never risk the fact you might die." Sakura saw he was being serious and somewhat curious to what her answer might be. "Well, I'm not sure, it's that feeling inside you that makes you want to. I don't know if you know..."

"It's love, isn't it?" Sakura blushed a rosy pink and looked up at the sky, she smiled a little and said, "Ya, it is."

After Gaara and Sakura had got to the land of the demons, Gaara took her to an old dusty library, it had cobwebs and books scattered everywhere. It was dark and gloomy and had no one in it. "Stay here, away from everyone, and look through the books, it will give you the information about Naruto." "I thought you were taking me to him."

"It's too dangerous right now Sakura, but I assure you that these books will tell you all your answers." And with that Gaara disappeared. Sakura stood alone in the library and she let her eyes wander around the old building. She came upon lots of books about the history and things like what powers everyone had and how to train to get stronger. Then she came upon a certain gold book that was shining. She opened it up and it came to a page with a picture of the fox. She began to read it out loud to herself.

"The great Kyuubi stands for the nine-tailed fox. As generations go there is a new demon that is born with a certain amount of tails and is a fox, he or she is the next chosen god of the kingdom. The chosen new god will have explosive power and if he or she can not control it, he or she shall be executed or eaten in earth, the only other choice is to give up their powers." Sakura stopped reading and went to the list down at the bottom of the page, it showed who all the gods were. It showed that every time a new god was chosen they would have 1 less tail then the previous god. "All demons come to the execution ground for the death of the Naruto Uzumaki, the son of the Kyuubi." The announcer had said. Sakura stood shocked at the library and she dropped her book on the floor. "God... son of Kyuubi... Naruto...EXECUTION!!"

CLIFFY!! of doom... yay I hope you liked Sakura going all kick ass on Sasori. Yes I know Sasori wasn't himself and he was all weird but i needed a puppet dude and maybe Kankuro would fit the thing better but he wasn't really demon like to me. And yay the son of Kyuubi and stuff. I bet this chapter no one will like. I sort of can tell. Felt like doing it before Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!
