Sorry for the late update! I was caught up in a lot of work! Ok, honestly, I don't even know where the story is head, I don't know where these chapters are coming from! But anyway, here's chapter 3 of Cursed. Enjoy!

Recap:"Hokage-sama, I think you owe us an explanation?" Kakashi said in a cheerful voice, lifting them from the heavy tension in the air. His visible eye was on Sakura the whole time.

Tsunade nodded, "Yes, well, where do I begin?" She sighed and looked towards her apprentice, one that she valued as a close friend, perhaps daughter. "Sakura...

"Sakura ..isn't a true Haruno, the woman you just saw here was her grandmother." Tsunade sighed," Actually, Sakura, I'm sure you know very well of your situation, why don't you inform them of it?"

Everyone turned to Sakura, "A-ano, I don't know much, but my dad told me a little about it, um, Obaasan is the leader of a clan in Tea, the Junsei Clan. They are a Clan of miko, Shrine Maidens and worshipers. T-the girl you just saw, who looks like me, is my twin sister, Natsumi." The boys of Team 7 were all shocked, who knew Sakura had a twin?!

"Well, my father just told me that much, I'm not sure if there's anything else." Sakura looked to the floor the whole time, she was lying.

Tsunade sighed,"Ah, your dismissed, Sakura."

When Tsunade couldn't sense Sakura's chakra anymore, she turned to the rest of Team 7.

"Hey, what's so bad that she's hiding from us?" Naruto yelled.

"Hai, why's ugly so weird today?" Sai asked, after all this time, he still didn't give up Sakura's 'fitting' nickname, even though he didn't think she was anymore, she was just so..'cute' when she was mad. And seexxyyy!

"As you all should know, great clans are very strict of their members, because with great members come great honor and respect."

Sasuke nodded, yes, he knew, as a child, Itachi was always the one treasured and praised, while the only person that really cared for him was his mother, and ..Itachi himself. Until he had to go slaughter the clan, anyway. But Sasuke put that aside him, now that Itachi was dead, he'd revive the clan. With who? Suddenly a pink haired kunoichi came to mind..

"Well, Sakura's mother was to have a baby to be the next heir of the Junsei clan, but she didn't expect to actually have twins. Her mother had asked to the baby a surprise, she insisted on not knowing anything of the baby, until the baby was finally born. Later on, March 28th, the baby was finally born, Natsumi, but two minutes later came another, Sakura. Sakura's grandmother, Junsei-san, thought of the second born to be cursed, being born last, and had attempted to kill her." Tsunade looked down, "Of course, that wasn't allowed, nor would Sakura's mother allow it, so she kept Sakura. Three months later, Junsei-san had tried again, to strangle the baby to death."

Tsunade continued,"Sakura's real father, had later died, by an assassination. His wife was in much sorrow, with her husband's death, and her growing fear of Sakura's death next. A month later, she had gone missing, along with Sakura."

"Natsumi was seen as the clan's heiress, while Sakura and her mother were forgotten." She paused, Damn, why do I have to explain this long ass story?? "Two years later, Sakura and Keiko Junsei were ..erased from the world, leaving Sakura Haruno, along with Keiko Haruno. Keiko-chan told me this story when the Haruno's first came to Konohagakure, and told me to keep it secret."

Naruto nodded slowly, taking it all in, while Sasuke and Sai showed similar faces of shock. Kakashi also seemed surprised, unlike his usual, laid-back self.

"If Haruno-san told you to keep it a secret then why tell us? Hokage-sama?" Sai questioned, his voice sounding,..uncertain.

"I believe you, as her teammates, and beloved friends, to keep it secret, and protect her." Tsunade looked into each of their eye(s). "If Junsei-san came to finally murder Sakura or what, I truly don't know, but if Sakura is put under her custody, then it will spell trouble for her. Right now, I need you to protect her, if..." The Hokage looked down, once more.

Naruto stood up, followed by the rest, "I'll-WE WILL protect Sakura-chan! Believe it!"

"Hai, just this once, I'll babysit ugly for you!" Sai smiled, and surprisingly, it was a genuine smile, too.

"Hn." Sasuke of course, smirked.

"Hai, Hokage-sama!" Kakashi smiled behind his mask.
