Love ya all so uber much and I would like to give a personal thanx to my reviewers!

Standard disclaimer applies.

YOSH!

"Good morning minna!" Sakura called out to Sasuke and Naruto. Today was the day they were starting the Chuunin Exams. They planned to meet Hinata later after they had checked in.

"Yo! Sakura-chan! Over here!"

Naruto waved frantically at Sakura to show where they are. Sasuke's eyes seemed to rove over her as if analyzing.

His eyes narrowed.

Even after all this time, I can't figure out what exactly has happened to Sakura. There's something big going on here. I know it. I just need to prove it.

"Sasuke-kun? You okay?"

He looked up to see Sakura staring at him.

"Hn." He answered and turned away. "Come on let's go."

Naruto and Sakura looked at him and then at each other. They shrugged.

"Teme's kinda acting weird don't you think Sakura-chan?"

Sakura's eyes were unfocused and her walk was a bit unsteady as she said, "Yeah."

"Aaaah!"

The three of them looked up to see a genin in a green jumpsuit being pushed down. There were two other genin in front of him smirking.

"Heh. You're taking the Chuunin Exams, but you can't even get past us? Pathetic." One said.

"Please let us through." The girl with two buns on her head pleaded. "We're supposed to go in there."

The guy's partner lashed out and punched The girl in the face. She fell back with a grunt.

The crowd murmured and there were whispers of, "That's harsh man."

They guy who had punched TenTen looked up and said, "Did you say that was harsh? We're easy compared to what's going to happen to guys during this Exam. We're doing you a favor."

"Yeah. Let's just say we're thinning out the herd you know?" the other guy spoke up. "Delicate little girls don't belong here so go home and play with your little dolls." He sneered.

"Real nice speech. Now move out of the way." Sasuke walked up to the front of the crowd.

"Who says that girls can't fight as well as guys?" Sakura crossed her arms. "Now get rid of that pathetic genjutsu.'

"We could right through that illusion from a mile away. We're going to the third floor." Sasuke monotoned.

More murmurs from the crowd. "What does he mean? We're on the third floor!"

"Well, well. So you saw through the genjutsu huh?"

"Please." Sakura scoffed. "This is only the second floor."

"Right." Naruto added.

The sign above the door swirled and changed from 301 to 201. Gasps could be heard.

"Tch. So you noticed the illusion." The guy with the bandages on his face said. "Real impressive. Now let's see you deal with this!" he kicked his leg out, ready for an attack while Sasuke did the same to counter it.

In the blink of an eye, the boy with the bowl cut hair rushed out and caught both of the legs.

"Hey." Another guy with long brown hair called out to him. His teammate apparently. "What happened to keeping a low profile? It was your idea."

""I know but," Lee answered

"Forget it." TenTen interrupted "It's over." She shook her head.

Lee stared in Team 7's direction and two pink spots appeared on his cheeks. He clenched his fist in front of his face which had a determined look on it.

Sasuke stared at him.

What happened to his bruises from earlier? They're gone. Were they fakes?

Lee walked right past Sasuke and up to Sakura. Her eyes widened.

Oh no! She thought frantically to herself. She knew what was happening.

"My name is Rock Lee." He introduced himself, "You are Sakura correct?"

"Y-yes."

"Please be my girlfriend! I vow to protect you with my life!" He gave her a thumbs up, winked, and his teeth/smile pinged.

(Flashback)

"Definitely not!"

"Why?"

"Because you're a weirdo!"

(End Flashback)

I was such a jerk to him!

Out loud she answered, "I'm sorry but I can't" her gaze softened at him and she held out her hand. "Please, can we be friends though?" She looked towards Neji and TenTen to show that she meant them too.

Naruto looked wary as to why she was acting so nice to a weirdo like him. Lee looked sad, but eagerly grasped her hand and TenTen came to introduce herself as well, but Neji ignored her. Going up to Sasuke instead.

"Hey you. What's your name?" There was a fire n Naruto's eyes.

Arrgh! Again! It's always about Sasuke!

"It's common courtesy to give your own name before asking for someone else's." Sasuke coolly replied.

"You're a rookie aren't you?" Neji called back not missing a beat.

"I'm not obliged to answer." Sasuke smirked.

"What's that?" Neji sounded angry.

TenTen giggled and said, "Oh it's okay Neji. We have to get going soon anyways."

"We should get going too. Come on Naruto, Sasuke-kun! Bye Lee-san! TenTen-chan!" she waved goodbye before grabbing her teammates hands. "Let's go!"

"Let go Sakura! I'm coming" Sasuke bit out. Her grip on his wrist only tightened.

From the shadows, the two genin from earlier observed them. "So those are the misfits from Kakashi's squad."

There was a 'poof' and they transformed into jounins.

"This is gonna be fun!"

"Hey Lee?" TenTen inquired. "Aren't you coming? We still have to sign in."

"You go ahead without me TenTen. I have something I want to take care of."

"Okay. If you want. Let's go Neji." She turned away, followed by Neji.

Lee headed off and followed Team 7 until they got to an indoor training area.

"Stop right there!" his voice was loud in the empty room. "You. With the attitude! Stop right there. I challenge you to a battle!" he looked over to Sakura and blushed again.

"I love you!" he announced and all of them shivered.

"Lee-san." Sakura tried explaining but Lee cut her off

"Please tell me. Is it because you already have a boyfriend? For an angel like you must already have someone they care about."

His words saddened Sakura and she found her way to her ring. "No. I don't have a boyfriend yet, but there is someone I care about."

Sasuke looked at her through the corner of his eyes while Naruto outright stared.

She's always talking about people she cares about, but never mentions any names. And that ring again. He gritted his teeth. Even thinking about it made Sasuke mad. How could she have gotten that ring and from where?

Lee gasped as he realized the gravity of the situation. "How could someone not care for you in return? Be my girlfriend and I promise to treat like a queen such as a wonder like you deserves!"

Sakura smiled ruefully and softly shook her head. Lee took the sign and focused once more on Sasuke.

"As I was saying. My name is Rock Lee. You said it was common courtesy to introduce oneself before battling. Right, Uchiha Sasuke? I challenge you to a battle. I would like to test my skills against one from the Famous Uchiha Clan."

"So," Sasuke said. "You've heard of my clan. I'll show you just how great the Uchiha clan is."

"Hey!" Sakura and Sasuke rotated and saw Naruto who had a dark look on his face. It was apparent that Naruto was sick of getting ignored. "Sasuke's not the only good fighter around here and if you want a real challenge, fight me!" He charged recklessly without thinking at Lee. "Because the truth is, compared to me, Sasuke is nothing!"

At the last minute Sakura pulled Naruto back and he fell against the floor effectively hitting his head.

"What was that for?!" He instantly shut up when Sakura glared at him.

"It's rude to interrupt a fight you know. Besides you'll get a chance to fight him later." She said mysteriously. She looked between Sasuke and Lee and continued,

"Lee-san, Sasuke-kun. I don't really approve of the two of you fighting but I suppose that there's nothing I can do to stop it." She finished and stepped back.

Lee had a slightly guilt look on his face, but would not be deterred from fighting Sasuke, the #1 rookie. Sasuke felt a twinge of something he couldn't identify, but pushed it off and ignored it.

He tacked it up as irritation to the foolish kunoichi who, in his eyes, though she had changed (for the better he might add), was still not strong enough to try and tell him what to do.

"Stay out of this Sakura." And charged at Lee, trying to attack him with a high kick and a rotating sideswipe.

Lee of course dodged it and ended up behind Sasuke who widened his eyes in surprise before he was kicked back.

Naruto was in the background laughing while Sakura was shaking her head saying, "I told you so."

Sasuke put more practice into his glare before announcing, "I didn't think I would have to use this but I guess I have to." He looked up and his eyes were crimson with pinwheels in it.

His Sharingan!

Well it's not gonna help him with this battle! Shannaro.

Sakura smirked to herself while Naruto was looking at her confusedly.

"Oi. Sakura-chan? What's so funny?"

Sakura merely pointed at the fight saying "Just watch"

Sasuke on the other hand was paying them no heed, thinking to himself,

This'll show them. Now I'm on to your game. Whether its ninjutsu or genjutsu, I'll find out how you're getting around so fast.

Once more, he started on an attack, but once more was sent flying. Lee appeared behind him and said in his ear.

"Do you get it now? My specialty is not ninjutsu or genjutsu, but taijutsu."

He unwrapped the bandages on his hands and began his famous Leaf Whirlwind attack when there was a shout.

"Stop right there Lee!"

Lee immediately halted in his actions and appeared before a giant turtle that 'poof'-ed into the room. Sasuke ell. He was so surprised that he could be beaten so easily even with all of the extra training he had gone through.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura ran out to meet him and caught him in her arms.

Man, eating him up inside as bad as last time.

Sasuke pushed her off to see Naruto coming towards them who seemed to be bursting with something to say after watching Lee get chewed out by the turtle.

"Hey you guys! Guess what! Do you guys think that that turtle might be his sensei?"

"Naruto, what are you talking about. Of course the turtle isn't his sensei."

"But look! Look at the way he's talking to it."

Suddenly, Lee was punched in the face.

Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto all had the same indescribable look on their faces.

There was another 'POOF!' and suddenly Maito Gai appeared.

"Hey everyone! What's shaking? Life treating ya good?"

"AAAAAAH!" they all screamed.

Sakura had bad flashbacks of bushy eyebrows that would come to give her nightmares.

"They're so huge, they're almost alive!" Naruto exclaimed.

"DO NOT INSULT GAI-SENSEI!!!" Lee anger was almost palpable.

"Lee-san, I'm sorry. We didn't mean to be rude." Sakura had a wan smile on her face trying to calm Lee down. Both Sasuke and Naruto looked at her as if she was crazy. Was she kidding? Look at the size of those things!

Lee looked at her and said, "Oh beautiful Sakura-san! Of course you didn't! And even if you did, I would still forgive you! My angel!"

Sakura sweatdropped and stared at a lovestruck Rock Lee. "Oh Gai-sensei!" he proclaimed. "I have finally found love with the most beautiful angel to walk the earth!"

Tears were running down Gai's face as he looked down on his young pupil. "I-I'm so happy for you Lee!" He out his hand over his face. "You have found your one true happiness!"

Now, Lee was crying as well, "Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Gai-sesnsei!"

"Lee!"

A sunset appeared behind them while Sakura watched with mild disgust and the boys were fascinated with the look of outright horror etched on their faces.

Sakura looked over and she couldn't help but giggle at the ridiculous face on Sasuke. He looked as if he had been slapped in the face with a wet fish.

Gai spun around to find the source of the noise and widened his eyes.

"You!" he pointed at Sakura. "You are Haruno Sakura, correct?' his face turned grave. "You are the one that Hokage-sama informed us about?"

Sakura's laughter immediately stopped and everyone turned to stare at her. She looked him straight I the eye and answered him in a clear voice, "Yes. I am Haruno Sakura. I was the one that gave Hokage-sama the information related to you, Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Kurenai, Mitarashi Anko, and Sarutobi Asuma."

"You'd best follow me." He motioned towards them. The light and happy mood had been broken.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Naruto shouted. Why should we follow you? We still have to sign in for the Chuunin Exams!"

Gai answered with a quick, "The Chuunin Exams have been postponed indefinitely." And walked away.

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other and then at Sakura who shrugged her shoulders, but the determined look in her eyes never left.

They knew that she had been keeping something from them, but just how big was it?

They learned that all but a few select genin had been sent back to where they would be staying for the time being until the issue was resolved. When asked what the issue was, Gai wouldn't answer. Only looked at Sakura, trying to tell her something had gone wrong.

The five entered the room that was originally meant to be used for the first part of the Chuunin Exams. As soon as they walked through the doors, there was a shout.

"Sasuke-kun!"

A very thin blonde linked her arms around Sasuke's neck much to his displeasure.

"Wow. I'm so glad you're here. I missed your rugged good looks." She looked over at Sakura trying to get a reaction.

Sakura briefly glanced in their direction before patiently waiting for the Hokage to arrive as she knew he would.

It seems that the Hokage ordered for all to evacuate the building except for Team 7, Team 8, Team 10, and Team Gai. Even the jounin were there as well.

Hinata came up to Naruto while the others were making small talk. Sakura noticed that Naruto momentarily held Hinata's hand and squeezed it. He gave her a grin telling her that everything was going to be alright. Sakura smiled at the display of affection and looked at the rest of the people there.

Nobody but Hinata, Sakura and the jounin were unduly nervous or anxious. They all were talking and just basically hanging out. Ino was hanging all over Sasuke while Shikamaru tried not to look over in their direction too much.

Chouji was munching on chips while having a conversation with Shino, Kiba and even Akamaru. The jounin were huddled together. Apparently, they knew why they were here but would not say.

Gai's team was in the corner with TenTen trying to ask Lee what happened. She looked at Sakura and gave her a dazzling smile before going back to what she was talking about.

The door creaked open and everyone stilled. All noise stopped as if the mute button had been pushed. The Hokage walked in with Mitarashi Anko at his side. When he spoke, he seemed to have an air of command about him.

"I'm sure you are all wondering why you are here, correct? There seems to be an unwelcome visitor here."

"Who?" There was malice in Sakura's voice. She had a nagging feeling she knew who it was already for they had already paid her a little visit before the genin teams had been chosen. A dark aura seemed to be swirling around the room, though Sakura's face was impassive. All of the genin shrunk back a bit so as not to get caught in the crossfire should Sakura blow up. She looked to the Hokage who nodded and announced, "You may come in now."

'POOF'

Everyone gasped. Ino even let go of her grip around Sasuke's neck. Because there, in the middle of the room, surrounded in a circle of people, stood…

"Uchiha Sasuke-kun."

The genin were in shock while the jounin were in defensive stances. Sakura was the one who had spoken and her face was shadowed.

"W-what the HELL'S going on here?" Naruto could not stand the silence. He pointed at the younger Sasuke. "If you're Sasuke-teme, then who's that guy?"

The elder version of Sasuke said not a word. Only crossed his arms and smirked at Sakura.

"It's been a long time Sakura."

"Ten years you stupid bastard!" The contempt and hate in her voice was easily identifiable.

"Ouch. That hurts." There was a mock sarcasm in his voice. "Actually it'll be ten years this December."

"Oh how sweet. Who knew THE Uchiha Sasuke could remember anniversaries."

His eyes hardened and when he spoke again, there was no more frivolity in his voice. "Cut the crap Haruno. I didn't come here to kill you. At least, not yet."

"Go to hell Uchiha!"

The conversation was lost on the others who could not understand what they were saying. How did Sakura know this guy? Was he really Sasuke from the future or something? What was he doing here?

The younger Sasuke focused not on the words, although they were not lost on him, but on the chakra level of his older self, the way he talked and his body language. He returned his attention once more to the conversation.

"Uchiha? What happened to Sasuke-kun." Oh yes. He was very sadistic indeed. He just loved torturing his little cherry blossom. "If you hate me so much, why do you still have the ring I gave you?"

Her hand flew to her neck and for once since he had entered the room, Sakura was speechless. The jounin had not come out of their defensive stances, yet relaxed slightly. The Hokage watched with interest, the conversation between the two lovers. He had long ago deciphered the act that Uchiha Sasuke must be the father of Sakura's son.

The Sasuke of the Past clenched his fists.

So that's how she got the ring. Why would I give it to someone like her? What would possess me to give away my mother's wedding ring?

Sasuke of the Future smirked at her lack of words. He addressed the Hokage next after looking around at the circle of genin. He chuckled at how weak they were and if he wanted to, he could wipe them out with one attack. The sound coming from his throat was a dry and humorless one that seemed to reek with evil.

Naruto was shaking. He didn't know why this guy was here or how Sakura knew him, or even if this was Sasuke, but he didn't care. He could tell. This was the guy that hurt Sakura and he swore that he would pay! The only thing holding him back was Hinata's hand clinging to his arm.

Hinata was terrified. She didn't like this man who looked like Sasuke. He was evil. That much she could tell.

Ino hated the fact that the guy was evil but DAMN! He was HOT!

TenTen didn't know much about who this guy was, but she didn't like him. From what she could tell, he had hurt Sakura and she was very protective o the friends she had even if she only met Sakura that day.

Neji was intrigued by the guy. He was strong, he would give him that much, but he still didn't like him.

Kiba, Shino and Chouji were only worried that he might kill them.

Shikamaru had been analyzing what was going on and deduced the fact. that Sakura must have been close with this guy at one point. He also claimed to be Uchiha Sasuke, but that was impossible. Unless Sasuke had managed to travel from the future somehow. His eyes widened with the realization.

That's gotta be it! This Sasuke is from the future. But that doesn't explain how Sakura knows him. Does that mean she's from the future as well? His head turned and he looked at a flushed Haruno Sakura. She must be in disguise. How long has she been here?

After looking around at the group, Sasuke announced the reason why he was there. "I came to give you fair warning. Surrender Konoha to me or face the consequences."

Another round of gasps, but it didn't distract Sasuke in the least. He was dead serious about this.

"I will give you three days to give me your answer." He looked towards Sakura once again.

"Oh, and Sakura? I'd check up on Satoshi if I were you. You never know just when an accident will happen to him." He gave her that infuriating smirk.

She glared at him and her response was low and deadly. "You bastard Uchiha. I want you to stay away from my son."

With an unreadable expression that could almost be regret on his face, the only answer he gave to her before disappearing in a whirlwind of raven feathers was,

"He's my son too Sakura."

AAAAAAHHHH! OMG! Chapter four is finished! I hope you liked it! I spent a lot of time on this one. I had to actually watch the episodes over again so I could get the dialogue right. I wanted to stick close to the storyline.

And I bet that you guys didn't see the ring being Uchiha Mikoto's coming!

Well I hope you guys weren't disappointed in this chapter. Review Onegai!

More plot twists huh? And another cliffie! Sorry about that. I couldn't think of how to end it! Okay here are the questions I bet you're dying to know.

1. How does Gaara know Sakura and where is he during all of this?

2. Why is the older Sasuke there?

3. Why did he give Sakura a diamond ring? His mother's diamond ring no less!

4. What's going to happen to Satoshi?

5. What's going to happen now that everyone knows that Sakura's from the future and she's the mother of Sasuke Uchiha's son?!?!?!

Even I don't know all of the answers to these questions! And I'm the author! Stick around for chapter five!

Love ya'll! KIKI KOALA
