You all rock! ;D

Naruto... Ugh, the newest manga chapter left me restless. At least Karin is dead! And I hope that Sakura catches up to Sasuke before he catches up to Konoha! I'll cry! Damn you Sasuke! I hate you and love you at the same time! :[

Disclaimer: I don't believe I will ever own Naruto, what a shame. I have such good ideas.

Chapter 2

So, somehow, Sakura Haruno had gone back in time about five years. Wonderful. She'd have to relive all the experiences in her life that gave her horrendous nightmares. She wondered if this time, since she was trapped in this time anyway, she could change it. But, she'd still have to act like she did when she really was this age, but less fangirl-ish. Easy, Sakura was beyond pissed at Sasuke anyway. The hard part was actually being nice to him in some way, she couldn't just ignore and sass him that much because just an hour ago she was drooling at the mouth just glancing at him. Now she couldn't go a couple minutes without glaring at him.

"Why is our sensei so late?! Everyone else's sensei's already came and took out their team! Ugh!" Naruto complained, Sakura resisted the urge to giggle. She had to act as if she really were twelve still, she scolded herself. That means fangirling and Naruto hating. So she placed her hands on her hips and glared at Naruto.

"Stop complaining Naruto, you're giving me a headache!" Sakura very nearly laughed. It was the hilarity of it all. No, the irony. Well, whatever it was, Sakura found this very amusing in a very sick way. It was definitely the irony. Who would've thought she'd be given this miracle?! Certainly not her; for a while before this crazy situation, she thought she must have kicked a puppy then punched a kitten in another life. There was just no way her life could be that miserable without some reason. Guess Kami was just screwing with her. Either way, Sakura was determined to see this as a blessing, and not a terrible dream.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted from his seat. Sakura controlled herself quickly before she found herself glaring at him again. She'd have to do something about that. But it was all is fault, not in this time, but still! Naruto suddenly smirked mischievously. Oh, Sakura knew what was coming...

"Hey guys, wanna play a prank on Kakashi-sensei?" he asked while grabbing an eraser from the blackboard. Bingo! Sakura thought to herself. She dramatically sighed, keeping up her charade.

"Naruto, Kakashi-sensei is an elite ninja," she stated. Naruto gave her a confused look.

"Right, right. An elite ninja..." she mentally laughed at him.

"She means he's a jounin, as in a ninja who could easily dodge an eraser," Sasuke lazily said. Sakura huffed, she was going to say that... Keep up the act! the smarter part of her screamed inside her head. She broke into an overzealous grin.

"Right Sasuke-kun!" her face twitched while the revengeful part of her said, The same Sasuke-kun that killed Naruto and very nearly you. Just in a smaller more innocent body. Even though she knew that was true, she ignored that thought. He looked at her, annoyed.

"Got it!" Naruto cried victoriously from the door frame. The eraser was up. Sakura allowed herself a small smirk, this meant Kakashi was coming very soon.

"Naruto you idiot! Like Kakashi-sensei would ever fall for that one!" Sakura was silently congratulating herself for being such a good actress. She didn't think she had it in her! Just then she saw the sliver, spiky-headed hair of her sensei peer in the door... And watched the eraser fall on his head. She couldn't help herself, she started laughing. When all the laughter - namely Sakura and Naruto - died down, she heard the one line that were always in her thoughts.

"My first impressions on]f you guys, hm... You're all a bunch of idiots." just as Sakura had done the first time, she dropped her head down, hiding a huge smile.

Learning more abut each other...

"All right, now I want you all to tell everybody your likes, dislikes, hopes and dreams, that sort of stuff," Kakashi drawled out from behind his book. Sakura started to panic a little, she had no idea what to say this time. Last time all she said was that she was an obsessive stalker of Sasuke, and that was the last thing she wanted to say now.

In her head she went over brief possible choices, her best one saying that she wanted to train to become a medical ninja like Tsunade, but in this time she had no idea who the sannin were; so that one was out.

She tuned out Kakashi's horrible explanation about himself, tuned out Naruto's ramen and hokage speech, and tuned out Sasuke's dark declaration; concentrating on what to say. So she was a little shocked when it was her turn. She gulped.

"Um, I like to hang out with friends, I don't really dislike anything, and I hope to become an amazing medical ninja." Normal, that was normal right? She hoped so. She dared a glance at Kakashi's face and saw his usual bored expression, and figured she was in the clear.

"Okay, everybody meet at the training grounds bright and early tomorrow, we're going to have a little mission-"

"Already?!" Naruto shouted excitedly.

"Not an official one no, but you should take it seriously. This, expedition match, shall we say; will determine if you become genin, or if you're thrown back into the academy." he said casually. Sakura put on her best surprised face and joined in the chorus of "What?!"'s.

"Yup, so be prepared to give it your all. Oh, and don't eating any breakfast; or you'll lose it," he then poofed away to... wherever Kakashi goes. Naruto scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"What did he mean, 'or you'll lose it'?" Sakura gave him a withering look, giggling on the inside.

"He means you'll barf it back up." she said simply. Naruto looked horrified.

"I wonder what we'll do..." he asked aloud. Oh, you'll find out soon enough my dear Naruto. She answered him in her head.

"Well, it looks like we're done here. Bye Naruto, Sasuke-kun." she turned around to look at him, only to find everything but Sasuke. She growled. Typical Sasuke.

"Alrighty then, bye Naruto," she started her way home and heard Naruto scream "Bye Sakura-chan!" when she rounded the corner. She laughed. She missed this carefree Naruto.

Okay Sakura, time to get down to business!

Although the chunnin exams were a while away, she still wanted to think out various possibilities to avoid Orochimaru. She could request they start at a different gate, but even if they did start at a different gate, Orochimaru could still find them easily.

They could all stick together no matter what, even peeing in front of each other, but that would only gross them out and Orochimaru could still find them. Maybe she could find a way to kill Kabuto before the chunnin exams start, she was positive he was feeding Orochimaru information about their whereabouts in the Forest of Death. Had he even had teammates? She never saw them. No, no. That wouldn't work either. Orochimaru was a sannin, he could find them without any help.

Sakura sighed in frustration, their was just no way around him.

Unless...

Yes! That could definitely work! She just wouldn't join! Sakura knew that Sasuke and Naruto would immediately agree, but if she didn't, they couldn't. It was perfect! If they weren't there, they wouldn't run into Orochimaru! And she wouldn't lose her hair! And Sasuke would never get the curse seal. Well, at least not now. If she changed that then there was no guarantee that anything she remembered that happened after the chunnin exams would still happen. And plus Sasuke and Naruto would hold it against her, and Ino would torture her about it...

Okay, scratch that one too.

There was really only one more option; stand and fight. Sakura was pretty sure she still had her strength and medical knowledge from the future and she could possibly be as strong as Orochimaru. After all, she had surpassed Tsunade in strength and the medical field. But Orochimaru currently still has use of his arms. And she couldn't protect Naruto and Sasuke while fighting off Orochimaru.

Sakura groaned, this was giving her a headache.

She slipped her key into the door. When she pushed the door open, she almost cried in joy. Their were her parents. Her lovely parents that she took for granted all these years. Oh, how she missed them! They were killed way too early before their time, from the Akatsuki's leaders invasion. They could do nothing, they were civilians with no ninja training. If anything, she would prevent their death. They would not die.

Her mother got off the couch and wore a warm smile.

"How was your day, dear?" she asked sweetly. Sakura launched herself into her mothers warm embrace, scaring the older woman. Her mother smiled again and held her.

"What's wrong Sakura?" Sakura smiled.

"Nothing, mom. I'm just happy. My day was great."

In the loving embrace of her mother, Sakura temporarily forgot that she was from the future and that her parents shouldn't be there, she was just happy they were here now.

After a long, hot, relaxing shower; Sakura snuggled into her blankets, feeling nostalgic. And thought about what she would do, and how to make things better for the future.

I didn't really like the ending, but oh well. Review! (:
