Sakura rolled up her sleeves revealing a tatoo of a blossom with an arrow through it and the marks of courage, bravery, and mental & physical courage on her wrist. Ten Ten ran at Sakura. Sakura did a hand seal, "See you in hell…" Sakura growled through clenched teeth.

Everything became quiet…Nothing and no one made a sound. Neji looked around cautiously and relaxed as he felt there was nothing amist. The sound of the woman's scream sounded. Everyones attention turned to Tenten, "MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!" She screamed, holding her head and flailing around wildly.

Neji and Sasuke rushed towards Tenten only to be stopped in their tracks by Juuniji. Drool dripped from his mouth, as the wolf curled his lips back, baring his fangs. Neji sighed and stepped back, knowing full well his fate if he were to hurt the wolf. Sasuke tried to dodge around the wolf but only managed to get 3 feet before he felt the wolf's fangs sink into his leg, he let out a howl. Juuniji's drool seeped into the wound paralyzing Sasuke. Neji made a move to run towards Tenten, who was curled up in a ball on the ground. Juuniji pounced onto Neji and sank his fangs into his right arm, earning a low groan from Neji.

The drool seeped into the mark paralyzing Neji aswell. Sakura smirked at the quivering Tenten on the floor, "NO! NO! PLEASE! HELP!" She screamed, the sound of bones cracking came from Tenten's fragile figure. She let out high pitched scream, her bones cracked and broke as if they were glass. Her skin sliced and the wounds bled nonstop as her skin began to peel. Sakura smirked and stepped back, "At this very moment her body is rejecting her...Its forcing everything to stop its functions...Her brain is sending false images and messages to her..Her bones are breaking...Trying to get away from her...Her skin is peeling off...Heh...And her heart...Every mintue...It slows down...It will happen until...It stops completely..." Sakura said, an evil tone to her voice. Neji's eyes shifted to Tenten, unable to move his eyes shifted to Sakura, "S-Sakura...D-Dont.." Neji managed. Sakura glared at him, "Shut up...Your nothing but a pathetic asshole." She said with a growl and she turned and disappeared in a puff of smoke with Juuniji..Leaving Naruto in a shocked look. He shook his head and ran over to Tenten, picking her up, bridal style, and disappeared aswell, leaving Neji and Sasuke.

-With Gaara-

He had found the two children in a small cave in the forests of Konoha. They were dirty and cold and covered in bruises, "What happened...?" Gaara said with his usual emotionless tone, "S-Shi broke her ankle.." Sai said looking at his sisters twisted ankle. Gaara nodded and picked Shi up, he grabbed Sai's arm with his free hand and walked out of the forest to find Sakura. They found her not far from where he left her. She was running her fingers through her hair, "Gaara...Shi! Sai!" She said as she rushed over to her siblings. Sai threw his arms around his sister and cried into her shirt, "I-I w-was s-so s-scared.." He managed out. Sakura smiled and pat his head lightly, unaware of the eyes watching her. Shi looked at her sister, "Neechan...I-I hurt my ankle.." The girl said threw tears. Sakura kneeled down as Gaara placed Shi on the ground. Sakura placed her hands on the girls ankle, earning a moan of protest, she healed her sisters ankle with ease and heled her up, "Be careful, ok?" Sakura asked looking down at her sister. Shi nodded and smiled.

Shi was a pretty young girl with light, light, LIGHT pink hair that seemed to compliment her pale skin and the cute freckles she had. Her hair was not matted in clomps of dry mud and her pale skin was dirty and had bruises and cuts all over it. Sai was a calm collected boy at times. He had short black hair that was now also matted in dry clumps of mud and piercing black eyes, not to mention he was highly handsome, for a 13 year old. Sakura took Sai's hand as Gaara picked Shi up. They ran to the gate with Juuniji close behind.

Sakura went to climb it when a kunai hit her arm, she let out a quiet growl as she turned around. Behind he was none other but the persistant, Neji Hyuuga. He walked over to her, "Sakura...Y...You tried to kill her..." Neji said, a pained expression in his eyes. Sakura looked at him, "To fucking bad...She deserves death.." She muttered as she pulled the kunai out of her arm. Neji pinned Sakura against the wall ignoring the cold glare of Gaara and Sai and the fierce growl of Juuniji, "Who are the kids?" He said, looking into her emerald orbs, "My brother and sister..." She growled, looking away, frowning at the position she was in.

Neji thought for a minute, his eyes rested on her lucious pink lips, the lips he had missed so much, "Sakura...Come back...We...I..Miss you.." Neji said his grip on her arms loosening slightly, "I hate you...You left me for that tramp...I couldnt believe you...Everything you ever said to me was a lie." Sakura growled. Neji looked over at Gaara and the two children who were no listening to the conversation, he turned his gaze back to Sakura, "Can we please talk in private...?" He whispered. Sakura rolled her eyes and looked at Gaara, " Go ahead..Ill be fine...Get them home...They have to get my mother her medicine.." Sakura said, not really wanting to be left alone with Neji.

Gaara turned and grabbed the children with ease, placing them over his shoulders, his sand lifted him over the gate and he, and the children, were gone. Juuniji now rested at Sakura's side, eyeing Neji catiously for any sudden movements. Neji had not let go of Sakura, "Sakura...As soon as you left...I felt like nothing would ever be the same...I totally forgot about Tenten because you were constantly on my mind." Neji said pausing, his eyes now looking deeply into hers for some sort of emotion, getting nothing he continued, "I..I tried to kill myself countless times...Only to be stopped by members of my family...I became obsessed with finding you...I looked everywhere and never found you...I wanted to tell you how much I love...And miss you...I never found you. I had heard of people that had seen a girl with pink hair and beautiful green eyes..." He said pausing and looking into her eyes.

Sakura couldnt help but blush, she looked down as her black hair covered her face. Neji looked at her, "Your hair...I liked it better when it was pink...Sakura...I missed you more then imaginable...You were always on my mind...Not Tenten...When I was 19 I was stupid...I didnt see that you were the only one...For me..." He looked at her. Sakura looked at him, "Neji I have to go..." Sakura said looking down. Neji looked into her eyes, "Promise you'll come back one day..." Neji said. Sakura sighed and nodded, not able to say no. She blushed as she felt his lips against hers gently, she looked at him, flushed, when he pulled back, "Be careful, Sakura..." He said and then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Sakura placed her fingers to her lips, the blush still on her cheeks. She shook her head and jumped over the gate, landing lightly on the other side.

-4 Weeks Later-

Sakura walked into the village known as Konoha with Gaara and Juuniji at her sides, she had just 4 weeks earlier been in. She was greeted by Naruto, "Sakura-chan! Gaara! We got your letter. Im glad you could make it." Naruto said, He still had the same childish grin on his face that he had before. His voice was deeper and had a slight sing song tone to it. Sakura smiled, "Im glad I could make it aswell...Where is Neji..?" Sakura asked, holding her backpack's straps, "He went to talk to Tsunade-Baachan..She can't wait to see you..When you left she wouldnt let Neji on missions because of what he did..That was for about 2 years...Then she eventually had to." Naruto said with a stupid grin. Sakura smiled slightly, "Alright...Well...We are only here for the week...Then we are going back home...Gaara doesnt like it here anymore.." Sakura said, motioning to Gaara. Gaara's eyes shifted around, a look of discust on his face. Naruto sweatdropped, "Right. Follow me.." He said placing his hands behind his head and walking towards Sakura's old home.

-At Haruno Sakura's Home-

Sakura looked around the living room, she smiled quiantly and set her bag on the couch, "You kept it clean?" She said looking at the vacuumed carpet and the dusted shelves, "Me and Hinata-chan. She was here a few hours ago..Now shes back at home." Naruto said, grinning. Sakura looked at him, "You two live together?" Sakura said resting her hand on the soft fabric of the couch, "We are married Sakura-chan." Naruto said blushing madly. Sakura laughed lightly, "Congratulations." Sakura said smiling, "Thank you." Naruto replied. He left a few minutes after.

Sakura sat on her couch with Juuniji resting his head on her knee, Gaara looking around the house, "Everything...Is pink...And black...I hate it..." He said. Sakura giggled and threw the couch pillow at him, "Shut up..It was my thing back then." Gaara sighed and shrugged, disappearing down the hallway. A few minutes later the phone rang. Sakura got up and walked over to it, she picked it up and put the phone to her ear, "Konichiwa?"

Unkown: Hey, Sakura.

Sakura: Neji?

Neji: Yea..Its me..Sorry I couldn't greet you...I was in a meeting with Hokage-sama...

Sakura: I know...Naruto told me..

Neji: Oh..So...Do you want me to come over...Tonight..?

Sakura: T-Tonight..?

Neji: Yea...

Sakura: Sure...

Neji: Alright...I'll see you tonight...

Sakura: Yea...

Neji: Oh and Sakura...?

Sakura: What is it..?

Neji: I love you...

Sakura: ...

Sakura: ...

Neji: Sakura, are you there...? Are you ok..?

Sakura: Sorry yea...Im fine...Just..I dont know how I feel about you yet...

Neji: Oh...Well...I wont pressure you...I just wanted you to know that...

Sakura: Oh, ok...

Neji: Bye..

Sakura: See ya...

-They Hang Up-

Sakura looked at the ceiling and sighed. She looked at the clock and bite her lip nervously, she walked into her room and lied on her bed, falling asleep.

-A Few Hours Later-

"Sakura...Sakura...SAKURA!" A voice yelled into her ear. Sakura opened her eyes and stared into blank eyes, "Neh...Gaara...What...?" Sakura asked rubbing her eyes, "You have a visitor..." He said nodding towards the door. Sakura made an O shape with her mouth got up, fixing her clothes and make up. She walked out of her room, Juuniji following behind her. His claws clicked lightly against the glazed wooden floor.

Neji stood, looking around the room and stopped when he noticed Sakura, "Hey..." He said smirking slightly. Sakura smiled slightly, "Hello..." She said smiling. Neji walked over to her and took some flowers from behind his back, handing them to her, "For you..." He said looking at her. Sakura felt her stomach do a summersault, she looked at the flowers, not sure what to say, "I um...Thanks..." She said taking the red and white roses and walking into the kitchen, placing them in a vase, "Neji...I have to talk to you...Its important..." Sakura said as she walked out of the kitchen. Neji nodded slightly and sat on the couch she sat beside him and looked at him, "I know that when we where...Younger...A lot of things happened between us...But...I just feel like...Love cant come easy for me...I do have feelings for you but...I dont trust you...Sorry..." Sakura said looking down. Neji smiled slightly, "I know you dont trust me...Thats why I wanted to come over so we could talk...Like we used to...I even brought a friend.." Neji said taking something out of his jacket. He pulled the snake he had gotten from Kurenai out of his jacket, Masurao. Sakura smiled and let Juuniji jump up on her lap, resting her head on her shoulder, looking at Masurao.

The two talked for a couple of hours until Neji had to leave.

"Sakura...I want to give you something" Neji said before he walked out of the house, "What is it..?" Sakura asked tilting her head to the right slightly. Neji smiled and reached into his pocket pulling out a...
