A/N: Heyyyy. I'm Candice. Becca, well, has serious writer's block. She knows how it's going to come out so this might be the last or second to last chapter. But, there WILL be a sequel. But, the sequel won't be long, a few chapters and will be all be posted at the same time. Well, I guess Becca forgot the other pairings...(scolds Becca) so the other pairings will be in this chapter along with stuff with Sakura and Mariah. So ANYWAYS... ON-WARDS!
Mariah- They own this plot and me + the others OC's. Becca NOR Candice owns Naruto. If they did, that would be the day where Hell would freeze over.
SWSU- Mariah, vry1 says that. Be more, ORIGINAL like your ORIGINAL!
Mariah- Rollz eyes
KEY:
"BLAH" talking
BLAH thinking
BLAH inner selves
Sakura's Suicide
Chapter 6: When the Wind Blows Over
RECAP:
She clasped her hand over her mouth. Tears broke the barrier and fell down onto the picture. She couldn't stop. No noise of her sobs, just, tears. She took all the pictures and placed them on her vanity table. She then changed into her night clothes, pulled the covers over herself in bed, and drifted to sleep.
The pink-haired woman rolled onto the floor as her emerald eyes snapped open to a knock at the door. She struggled onto her feet and walked over to the door. "Who is it?" She asked in a half awake-asleep tone. "It's Jessica." The voice replied. She opened the door to see Jessica, the Kage, wide awake. Usually Tsuande-sama would be sleeping or just plain pissed off for no fricken reason. Sakura thought as Jessica yelled a loud 'Good morning SLEEPYHEAD' in her ear.
Sakura resisted to ugre to roll her eyes. "-sigh-Good morning to you too...-yawn- Is there anything you need?-stretches-" Sakura asked with a sigh, yawn, and her usual morning stretches. "Just waking you up! I need to see you in my office in 15. Since right now it's 5am i'll see you at 5:15. It's a mission for you and Mariah so get ready!" She replied as she merilly walked over to Mariah's room.
-----
Sakura's mind was still processing.
Wait... It's 5am!
-yawns- We cannot get a WINK of sleep around here, eh?
-blinks- Who the hell are you?
-flips off- I am your inner self! I am Sakura! You are Sakura! WERE BOTH SAKURA!
-sweatdrops- So you just flipped off yourself?
NO! I didn't!
-rolls eyes- Well, what do you want?
-cries- CAN'T A GIRL JUST TALK TO HERSELF!
-sighs- No!
-sticks out tounge- I'm going! Be lost without me! -dramatic scene-
-ends 'dramatic scene'- Whateva, bye!

Sakura's POV
I turn my head to my clock. SHIT! IT IS 5:09! I thought. I race through my closet for my Jounin vest, my forehead protector, weapons, and my Jounin mask.(AN: I'ts like an ANBU mask but in this village, they don't have anything like ANBU. So the Jounins wear the masks.) I put on my stuff and race to the Kage's office. I saw Mariah waiting for me outside the office. She knocked on the door and Jessica's voice could be heard as 'come in'. We take off our masks for respect. My mask had markings that made it look like scales and the eye slits were red, because I am into dragons and those kinda stuff I wanted a mask like that. Mariah's mask made her look like a bird. So we were both 'flying animals'. The cool thing is, with a jutsu we learned, we can fly. She sprouts bird-like wings and I sprout dragon-like wings.

Normal POV
Mariah and Sakura stood infront of Jessice who was hurring through papers. "Now. You must go to Suna to give this scroll to the Kazekage, Gaara. He will give you another scroll that you must give to Konoha's Hokage, Tsunade. Now, those scrolls are wanted so you will have to fight some ninjas. Here is the scroll that the Kazekage needs. To Suna, it will take about 2-3 days. Sakura, since you are familiar with these territories, you are required as Mariah has a good sense to were traps are and what ninja is coming. It's much like the Hyuuga's Byuakugan(sp?) but it's a sense. Since her traits are like a birds, she will see far away, like a hawk. And since Sakura, you are strong and fierce like a dragon. Also, I heard you can sense a person's weakpoints and hit it with the element that it's inferior to. But, you are strong with fire. You can breathe it without using a jutsu. You two are the best ninja in this village so please do well! Now off you go!" Jessica finished up while handing them the scroll for Gaara and the mission scroll to give to the guards of the villages.
Sakura and Mariah pulled their hair up and put their masks on, hopefully to hide it's color. Like Sakura, nobody really has hair that color. Mariah is unmistakably for her hair color, like Sakura, and Mariah's family was cursed. The curse fell upon Mariah and everybody knows her for that. Sakura knows about it but doesn't care. They put on a black jacket since it was getting cold. The black matched their all-black attire since they couldn't be seen.
"Shish Hak Jou No Justu!" They both yelled as their wings sprouted and they flew over the trees.
-----
(after a few hours..)
"Sakura, I see a village! Is that Suna?" Mariah asked pointing far away. Sakura did some hand signs and she looked to where Mariah pointed. "No. Thats the Sound. But, were close now." Sakura said, voice laced with pain. They were flying for quite awhile now. "Lets rest. It's nighttime so lets sleep." Mariah said as she scouted the area as they flew down to the ground. "No ninjas, yet" She informed as Sakura nodded. Sakura ajusted her headband on her forehead. "I'm so not used to wearing it like this." Sakura giggled. She took it off and stared at it. The symbol was much like a cat's eye, in Sakura's opinion. It was oval-ish with a line down the middle. They set up the tents and went to sleep.
(morning)

Mariah's POV
I woke up to the smell of fire. Is Sakura ok? I walk out of the tent.
Phew! That was a relief!
I know! I though they set the camp on fire!
Yey! My psychiatrist is back! w00t w00t!
Riiiiiight! Now i'm gone! BYE!
"Good-mornin'!" Sakura greeted me, her mask still on. I grab mine and put it on, for cover. "Good-morning!" I replied as we stayed warm by the fire. "We better get moving." Sakura said as she used some of her water to put out the fire. I nodded. "Shish Hak Jou No Justu!" She yelled as she soared into the air. I look over to see that her tent was already taken down. "Guess I gotta take down mine too" I mumbled as I quickly take mine down. "Shish Hak Jou No Justu!" I yell and catch up to Sakura who was searching the area. "Anyone near?" I ask. "Nope. And in a few minutes we'll reach Suna" She informed as she swooped down to the ground.
"We can walk for now." She said as I reached down to the ground. Our wings went back into out back as we walked. "Do you know anyone in Suna?" I asked her. "Yes. The Kazekage Gaara, his sister Temari, and his brother Kankuro. But, they cannot know of my betrayal. He could report the Hokage, Tsunade, my teacher, about me and the village and she could send for me. I won't let that happen." She said with clenched fists. "Sorry.." I said, for building up her rage. She smiled. "It's okay. Besides, we never talk alot." We both gossiped about stuff we like and about the latest stars.
"Were here!" Sakura said as I saw the huge gates. I pulled out the mission scroll and walked up to the guards. "Were here to give and recieve a scroll from the Kazekage." She said handing them the scroll. They looked it over, gave it back to them, and let them pass.

Normal POV
"Its over there" Sakura said, changing her voice. They walked over to the tower and walked up to the Kazekage's door. "State your purpose." They heard a feminine voice say. She had blond hair with four ponytails. "Were here to exchange scrolls with the Kazekage." Mariah said. The girl nodded her head and opened the door. A red-headed man motioned for them to sit down. "Hello. I am the Kazekage of this village. My name is Gaara. I hear that your Kage sent you to exchange scrolls. Show it." He said in a nice tone as he and Sakura took out a scroll. They exchanged it. "Nice. Very nice. Thank you for coming a long way to give me this. Now, please, stay at our newest hotel. I'm sure you must be tired. Give the recieptionist this slip and she'll give you the keys to our suite. Don't worry, it and the food, is on the house. Please, enjoy your stay." Gaara said and handed Mariah the slip. "Thank you Kazekage-sama." They both said and exited the room.
They found the hotel. "Beautiful!" Mariah said as her gaze fell upon it. "Come on!" Sakura yelled from it's door way. Mariah handed the slip over and got the keys. "Now, your rooms are numbers 708 and 709. They are on the top or the 7th floor. Please enjoy your time here and you both have your own personal room services to bring you food and other stuff." The lady said and they both said their thanks. Mariah was practically jumpin up and down in the elevator. "Hmm. No ninja yet. But, I feel the strength in this scroll. It's stronger than the other. This is the strongest and deadliest forbidden scroll of the Sound. Tsunade-sama must want it to defeat Orochimaru, since he let Sasuke go, Sasuke couldn't kill him." Sakura said.
-----
"I've heard about the Sound. Orochimaru took my parent's life, like he did yours. One of my best friends, Yakushi Kabuto, turned into his assistant, like yours. How much more ironic can this get? I mean, we both are from another ninja village, stuff about Orochimaru, and about our wish." Mariah said, saying the last one softer. "I know. I've always wanted to do that. I mean, with all this, it just reams right, ya know?" Sakura said. Mariah answered with a soft yeah once the elevator was on the top floor. The hallway had 9 doors '701-709'. Mariah tossed the key to '709' to Sakura. They gave each other a friendly 'goodnight' hug and went to their rooms.
Sakura threw on some black pj pants with a red tank. Her stomatch grumbled. She was hungry! "Watermelon! Chocolate! Chips! Ramen!" Sakura yelled into the phone for the room serivce. She laid down on her bed waiting for the man to come. As if on cue, a knock came to the door. She rushed to it, grabbed the food and slammed it in his face. During her feast, another knock came from the door as the voice said 'Its Mariah' so Sakura then yelled a 'come in'.
Mariah was wearing her pure lime pj's and Sakura quirked an eyebrow. "Lime, eh?" She asked. "Hai, not my favorite but it was this or ones with bright orange teddy bears!" Mariah laughed. She then saw Sakura's 'GRAND FEAST'. "Piggy! 12 watermelon slices, 8 chocolate bars, 50 bags of assorted chips, and 70 bags of instant ramen! Luckily we have a microwave AND a fridge!" Mariah screamed. "There WAS 25 watermelon slices, 20 chocolate bars, 70 bags of assorted chips, and 150 bags of instant ramen, BUT those are already eaten. I'm bringing the chips for the trip and the ramen so I don't have to buy some back at the village. So, I'll be busy eating this chocolate and watermelon." Sakura explained as Mariah sweatdropped. Damn. She already had 80 bags of instant ramen, 13 slices of watermelon, 12 chocolate bars, and 20 bags of assorted chips. How many stomatches does she have? 20? Maybe more. And look! She's skinnier than me! If she eats like this on a daily basis, I'll go crazyMariah thought.
As if reading her thoughts, Sakura blurted out "Oh and if your wondering, I don't eat like this ever. But, still, I haven't eaten anything in a day or so." Mariah sweatdropped once more as Sakura finished the rest of the watermelon and chocolate in a matter of seconds. "Riiiiiight..." Mariah whispered as she exited the room saying 'goodnight' while Sakura, on the otherhand, YELLED it.
