I woke up in a daze, I didn't know what time it was, but knowing me it would probably be 6:30 AM…I would never understand why, but I always woke up around this time ever since I met Gaara. It was weird yes, but it wasn't something I was going to waste my time thinking about. Not that I could ever figure it out.

I climbed out of bed, and did my normal morning routine (i.e. showering, brushing my teeth, ect.) I looked at myself in the mirror and then left. I'm a ninja, unlike Ino-Pig I'd rather be stronger then care about my looks. I went to the training field, the conversation with Gaara from last night still stuck in my head. "You belong to me! Not that Uchiha or anyone else!" 'Don't you think I know that?' I thought bitterly. When I got to the field I realized Kakashi was there along with Naruto and Sasuke.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked my voice lased with confusion.

"We have a meeting today, Sakura." My perverted sensei sighed.

"Yeah Sakura-Chan where have you been!?" Naruto screeched.

"Shut it Dope and let her explain." Sasuke said calmly.

"Oh… Where I've been? Well, I just got lost on the road of life?" I tried quoting Kakashi.

"That's good enough for me!" Kakashi answered, "Let's get to-"

"What!?" Naruto screamed, "It's okay for Sakura-Cha to come late! But when I did you wouldn't let me eat ramen for a week!" Naruto complained completely flabbergasted.

"Well… I didn't actually mean your punishment for showing up late, but you followed through with it anyway. It was quite amusing actually." Kakashi sighed once again.

"Now without further interruptions," he shot a glare at Naruto, "I have an important announcement for you guys…" He took a pause.

We all moved in closer, eager to hear the news.

"I am…Getting another dog!" Kakashi squealed like a school girl.

"WHAT!?!" We all yelled,

"That was your important news?" Sasuke tried to ask cooly but was clearly ticked off.

"Sakura, what kind of dog should I get? Should it be a Tea Cup Poodle? Or how about a Chihuahua?" Kakashi just went on and on about lap dogs and how Naruto would make a good dog as well.

"Ummmm… I like Yorkshire Terriers better?" I put my two pennies in.

"You are completely right! I should get one! Thank you Sakura! And for your help I'm letting you participate in the Chuunin Exams!" Kakashi gushed.

"The Chuunin Exams? I want in." Sasuke demanded.

"ME TOO!" Can you guess who yelled that?

"Sorry I don't think you guys are fit for it. I chose Sakura because she helped me. Those who don't care for their comrades are lower than trash."

"So we can't become Chuunins because we didn't help you pick out a dog!?!?" Naruto yelled/asked

"Yup! I'm glad you understand! It's as simple as that, but… If you and Sasuke go get me the latest book of 'Icha Icha Paradise'!" He said while giving a thumbs up.

"Hey, is Kakashi Sensei little out of it today?" I sweat dropped as Kakashi Sensei started doing the Chicken Dance.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. He seems completely normal to me." Naruto replied as we continued to watch Kakashi Sensei sing a song.

"Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don't cha wish she was a freak like me? Don't cha, don't cha?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I hate that song!" I screamed as I accidentally threw a kunai at Kakashi.

'Oh no' I thought, 'I'm going to die.'

But to my surprise when my kunai finally reached Kakashi he poofed away, revealing Iruka Sensei instead.

"Wow…" I said making my mouth into an 'o' shaped.

"Congratulations Sakura! You may now go to the Chuunin Exams! How did you know that I wasn't Kakashi?" Irukia complimented me.

"Ummm… I'm that good?" I guessed.

"Of course you are!" He agreed, he then turned his attention to Sasuke and Naruto.

"I want you guys to learn a lesson from Sakura she saw underneath the underneath." Iruka pointed out.

"I/She did?" We asked.

"Yes she did! And because of that I'm allowing all three of you to go take the exams."And with that he poofed away.

"Huh…How about that?" I asked.

"YEAH! CHUUNIN EXAMS HERE I COME!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly.

"Shut up Dope. We have to get ready for the exams." Sasuke said.

"Yeah, Chicken Ass is right," I agreed, "when is the exam anyway?" I asked

"Tomorrow." Kakashi answered, appearing out of nowhere.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH" A girly scream came out.

"Oh Sakura I'm sorry did I scare you?" Kakashi asked.

"That wasn't me." I stated

"Then who-?" Kakashi then turned to Naruto

"Naruto seriously? Again?" Kakashi sighed.

"Heh heh, sorry." Naruto scratched the back of his head.

"Back to what I was saying the Chuunin Exams will be held tomorrow in the afternoon. Good luck with it and don't disappoint me." Kakashi then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"The Chuunin Exams heh, it should be a piece of cake." Sasuke said

"For once I agree with Sasuke-Teme! First the Chuunin Exams and then I'll be Hokage! BELIEVE IT!" Naruto yelled

"I don't know you guys… I've heard a few things about the Chuunin Exams and it is not easy." I tried warning them.

"Are you calling me weak, Haruno?" Sasuke sent one of his oh so famous glare at me.

"No Uchiha I'm just trying to tell you guys to be prepared. I mean who knows what kind of people will be there." I tried reasoning with him.

"Yeah right." He scoffed.

"What was that?" I asked

"You're just afraid you'll be holding me back." He smirked.

'What did he say?' I angrily thought.

'Me be weak? He's going down.'

"You want to repeat that Uchiha?" I spat at him, venom dripping from my mouth.

"Yeah I do. You may be strong Haruno, but you can't beat me." Sasuke said.

"Do you truly think that's true?" I challenged him.

"You want to see?" He challenged me as well.

"I do." I answered.

We both got into a fighting stance waiting for the other to make their first move, but everything was still, no sign of movement visible. At least to the human eye. Unbeknownced to Sasuke I was already planning my attack and putting it into action. Naruto who was still there was watching intently as the judge for the match.

A minute passed and Sasuke still made no move, his sharingan was activated looking for any sign of an opening. I was still standing there waiting for my plan to take place.

'5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO!' I released all thechakra I was gathering into a special jutsu of my own creation.

"Blossoming Nightmare!"

Red smoke covered the whole field, making it impossible for anyone, but the user to see anything. I looked over at Sasuke he was frantically searching for me, but found nothing. I forced chakra into my arms and legs giving it an eerie greenish pink glow to it. I created a dozen clones all with their own chakra signatures each, racing towards him with amazing speed. It took him a while to finally destroy each and every one of them and realize I wasn't there, by that time he was tired and confused. I ran towards him my hands clenched into a fist aiming for his smug little face.

CRACK!

My fist made an impact with him. I then transformed my appearance to look like Naruto and kicked him in the gut, all the air from his body escaped through his mouth. I then went back to my original appearance and bent down to Sasuke's level and whispered into his ear.

"Do you know why this jutsu is called Blossoming Dream, Uchiha? Because in this you can't trust anything or anyone, everything you once knew means nothing." I hissed, I felt like something took over my entire body.

I then prepared for my last attack, I created several more clones and changed them to take the appearance of everybody Sasuke knew and had them all take turns in beating him up.

"Sakura…" I heard Sasuke gasp out, "Please…Stop." He begged.

I snapped back into reality and realized everything I did to Sasuke. Whatever that had previously taken over my body was now gone. I ended my jutsu as fast as I could and all the smoke cleared up.

"SASUKE!" I screamed tears were threatening to come out.

"I'm sorry Sasuke! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" I repeated over and over again to him.

"Sakura…I'm sorry."

"What?" I asked

"You're not weak. I'm sorry." He then passed out.

I looked around for Naruto, but there was no sight of him, but there was someone else.

'Gaara'

"Wonderful, Sakura… What a fantastic jutsu." He praised me

"What are you talking about!?" I yelled, "I didn't mean to go that far with him…" My voice was now barely a whisper.

"Of course you weren't. I made you" He said in his monotone voice.

"What?" I asked

"Don't you remember? I control you."

"But why?!?" I screamed

"I wanted to see your full potential," he said, "and I wanted to see you hurt the Uchiha as well." A smirk plastered on his face.

"You were the one that made me do all those things?" I gasped

"No. That was all you; I just made you keep fighting."

"How could you do that!? Sasuke is my friend." I yelled.

"There's that word again 'Friend.'" Gaara mocked, "Does a Friend call you weak?" He asked.

"No, but that's just the way Sasuke is!"

"Whatever you say my pet. I look forward to seeing you in the Chuunin Exams later, goodbye for now."

He was now once again gone, I looked over at Sasuke I was consumed by guilt.

"Some friend I am right?" I tried to laugh my vocals were hoarse.

I then began to heal him, before carrying him home.

I'm not very satisfied with this chapter T.T I made it longer for not being able to update it sooner. I think that this is more of a filler chapter, but it could have some parts that are important in later chapters. Well bye for now…PLEASE FAV, SUNSCRIBE, AND REVIEW! SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE!
