"Where am I? Why am I running? Wait, I'm not running, someone is caring me. I think she's talking to me."

"I'm so sorry,"

So it's a woman. Her voice sounds so familiar. But where have I heard it?

"You don't deserve to have to go through this."

Go through what?

"That's why, until you're old enough, these memories will be sealed off." The woman voice began to fade

What? Wait you know who I am? Please, tell me!

"I'm so sorry sweetheart,"

Wait who are you!

"But remember this,"

Please don't leave!

"I will always love you my precious flower."

Wait...no...please don't leave me!

The woman's voice was gone

WHO ARE YOU!


I bolted up in my bed,

"it was just a dream" I tried to tell myself,

"Yeah but we've had the same dream for years. I'm starting to think there's something more to that dream." My inner said

"Yeah I agree, hey inner do you remember that woman's name?"

"Ummm, I think it was Shina. Yeah it was Shina!" She replied.

"Shina? It kinda has a nostalgic ring to it, don't ya think?" I asked

"Yeah it does. It's kinda creepy..." she said.

"I think I'll ask mom and dad if they know her name"

"Sounds like a plan! I'll be here!" I couldn't help but smile, of course she would be here. It's not like she can leave my head. Or can she? she does like to pull disappearing acts from time to time. Shaking my head I think, that's not important right now! I've got to talk to mom and dad! With that said I run downstairs to the kitchen where I saw my mother, Mebuki cooking and my father Kizashi sitting at the table reading the paper. Upon entering the kitchen she turned to greet me.

"Good morning dear! Sleep well?" she asked, with a smile on her face.

"Morning! Not really...I...I wanted to ask you a question." I could see the worry on her face.

"What is it? Is something wrong?"

"No" She seemed to relax a bit and turned back to her cooking, "I was just wondering if you knew anyone by the name of Shina?" I saw her whole body tense up, and I saw dad's head snap up upon hearing the name. She turned to me, and I could see in her eyes something was wrong, she looked at dad before speaking,

"Shina? I've never heard that name before. Sorry sweetie." She sounded genuine in her words but her expression told me she was lying. She had heard that name before, but for whatever reason she wouldn't tell me about her.

"Why do you ask?" dad questioned.

"I've had these strange dreams about her since I was 7. She always says that she's sorry and that she loves me. I call out to her but she never hears me. Then she leaves and I wake up." I see mom and dad stare at each other. I know what's going to happen next, mom is going to ask dad do something and "secretly" change the subject. Only problem is it's not a secret.

"Kizashi, would you be so kind as to set the table?" See, told ya.

"Of course dear." and small talk starting in 3...2...1...

"So Sakura how has your training with Hokage-sama been going?" mom inquires

"Same as every other time you change the subject mom." I say as I get up from the table and head to the door, knowing full well she'll ignore my statement.

"Wait what about breakfast!" Do I need to say told ya so?

"Not hungry. Bye!" and with that I'm out the door. Maybe Tsunade-shisou knows something? It's worth a shot right! After a minute or two I can see Hokage tower but just as I get close I hear the all to familiar and loud voice of my best friend and teammate.

"Sakura-chan!"

"Can he get any louder?"

"Probably shouldn't ask, we know full well that he can..."

"You've got a point there..."

"Hi Naruto!"

"Where are you headed to?" he asks

"To see Tsunade-shisou. You?"

"I was on my way to see her to!"

"Really what for?"

"Wait aren't you here for a mission summons?" I shake my head, "Oh, never mind then. I've got to get going bye Sakura-chan!"

"Bye!"

"well that was wired. Even for Naruto"

"Wait! Why wasn't I summoned for a mission? I mean Naruto and I are a team. Shouldn't we be going together?"

"I don't know."

"I guess I'll just go ask shisou myself.


Knock, knock

"Enter. Sakura right on time! I was just about to give team 7 its next mission!" I looked into the room to see Kakashi-sensei, Captain Yamato, Naruto, and Sai all looking at me.

"Wait so I am part of the mission?"

"Yes I sent a summons to you earlier today but your parents said you had already left."

"Oh okay."

"Good, now that everyone is here I can give you you're misson. Team 7 your mission is to find Itachi Uchiha and bring him to the village safely. This is an S-ranked mission. I shouldn't have to tel you how dangerous this mission will be. Now do your best and come home safely! Dismissed!"

"Alright lets meet at the front gates in 30 minutes. Sound good?"

"Yep!"

"Okay see you then!" with that Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.


30 minutes later

"Why does he always have to be late!"

"Oh quit whining Naruto! He always does this, it shouldn't be a surprise..."

"Yo! Sorry there was an elderly woman who needed help carrying her groceries."

"YOU LIAR!"

"Naruto if you don't shut up I'm going to kick your ass!"

"Sorry Sakura-chan I'll stop! I promise I'll stop! Just please don't hurt me!"

"I do believe you scared Dickless more than usual today Ugly."

"Sai if you know what's good for you, you'll stop calling me Ugly. Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear?"

"Sakura is everything okay?"

"Of course sensei! Why do you ask?"

"You just seem to be in a bad mood today. That's all."

"I'm fine, really!" I smile hoping to God that Sai doesn't notice-

"That's a terrible fake smile Ugl-" before he can finish his thought I sent him flying through the trees with one punch.

"I thought I made myself clear, piss me off again Sai and I will punch you again, only this time I won't hold back."

"Sakura-chan is scary when she's mad! I can't afford to tease her anymore, she kill me!"

"Are you sure everything is okay?"

"Yes, I'm just a bit tired."

"Liar"

"Who asked you!"

"Kakashi"

"Shut up smart ass!"

"Takes one to know one!"

"..."

"So are you still thinking about that dream?"

"Yeah"

"Maybe Kakashi or Yamato know something about her!"

"That's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that!"

"Technically you did."

"Shut up..."

"As you wish!"

"Hey Kakashi-sensei, captain Yamato can I ask you guys something?" said shinobi turned their attention to me.

"Sure"

"What's up?

"Have you ever heard the name Shina before?"

"Yes, I have." replied Kakashi

"As have I" said Yamato "Why do you ask?"

"Well I've been having these strange dreams about her.."

"Strange how?"

"She always says she love me and that she's sorry."

"Do you know what she's sorry for?"

"For sealing my memories." Both shinobi looked at each other with wide eyes. They knew what was going on, and she was going to get to the bottom of it.
