RECAP:

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 crazy! Mariah 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.

In the morning, Mariah went to knock on Sakura's door but it was open. She saw that Sakura was laying down on the bed, the food spread all around her. "Too, fat!" Sakura yelled. Mariah went up to her. "Dude, your still skinnier than me! You a NOT fat!" Sakura went to look up but couldnt. "MARIAH, OUT! YOUR TOO BRIGHT!" Sakura yelled as Mariah left with her brightness. They both changed in their own respective room, into their all black attires and placed on their masks, while putting up their hair and hiding it.

They exited the village and both yelled out "Shish Hak Jou No Justu!" They flew a short distance in a short time. "How long?" Mariah asked. "Hm, its been around 15min so well be in Konoha in about 30min, tops." Sakura answered. "You don't have to answer my questions but, do you think that we will see your friends? Do you think they'll recognize you?" Mariah asked. "We will probly see them. But, some may recognize me while when the others see me, they'll say that I'm not Sakura because Sakura is a weakling." Sakura said, sadly. "IS THAT KONOHA?" Mariah yelled. Sakura merely shook her head.

(FYI: It has been a week since Sakura left Konoha.)

They flew down to the ground, wings retreated into their backs, and they walked over to the guards. Mariah handed them their scroll, the guards looked it over, and gave it back. "Wow, this place is cool. OOOH! LOOK! RAMEN!" Mariah yelled, dragging Sakura to the ramen stand. Before they entered Sakura haulted and whipered something to Mariah. "Mariah, be careful. The one, eating all the ramen, dressed in black and orange, blond hair, is Uzumaki Naruto. My old teammate. I haven't seen him in years." Sakura explained in a whisper. Mariah nodded and yelled "6 bowls of Miso Ramen!". Naruto turned around and yelled "You, with the bird mask, wana have a ramen-eating contest?" Mariah shot her hand up and screamed "You bet!". In a matter of seconds, Mariah finished her 6 bowls faster than Naruto could finish his 5 bowls. "Your good!" Naruto said. "Thanks you too!" Mariah said cheerfully. "C'mon, we need not to waste our time eating or anything. We need to complete our mission." Sakura said, more in her own tone of voice than she wanted.

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

"MATTE!" Naruto yelled. "My name is Naruto! And yours is?" He asked. "Mariah. Nice meeting you!" Mariah said cheerfully. "And you?" He asked Sakura. "I'd rather not say.." Then she turned around and Mariah followed, waving to Naruto. "Theres the Hokage's tower. Lets go."

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

Before Sakura knocked, she whispered to Mariah that her office will reake of sake. With that, Sakura knocked and got a groggy 'come in'. Tsunade straightened up at the sight of the two kunioichi. "Hello and welcome to Konoha!" Tsunade greeted. Mariah smiled wide and said 'hello and thanks' while Sakura just said 'hey' and nodded. Tsunade's eyes squinted at the one that had the dragon mask. Is that Sakura? No, it can't be... She thought as she tried to feel her chakra. It DOES feel like Sakura's... Her eyes widened and Mariah disturbed her train of thought.

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

"Erm, aren't we supposed to trade scrolls?" Mariah asked, handing Tsunade 2 scrolls. One, the mission scroll from Jessica and two, the wanted scroll from Gaara. Tsunade handed them their scroll, finally happy.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

xxFLASHBACKxx

Before they left her office, Jessica called out to them. "MATTE!" Sakura and Mariah turned around to look at her. "Hai.?" They asked/said. Jessica ran up to them, running her fingers through her hair. "Give this to Tsunade and don't read it. Its 'CONFIDENTIAL'!" Jessica explained, pointing to the words on the scroll reading, 'CONFIDENTIAL'. Sakura resisted the urge to roll her eyes but didn't, since Jessica IS the Jukokage(1). "Hai, of course!" Sakura said. Once they were out the door, Mariah yelled "SAKURA! ITS CONFIDENTIAL! IT MUST BE OPENED BY US!" purposly. Jessica slammed the doors open to find nobody there. She sighed. "WERE JOKING!" The two girls screamed from right behind her chair, making her fall off. Jessica then pointed her finger at them, erm, accusingly? "HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET BEHIND ME?" She freaked out. The two Jounin just laughed and walked out of the office, to the gate, and off on their journey.

xxEND-FLASHBACKxx

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Tsunade smiled. "Guess your Jukokage wants you to stay here for a month to relax. How nice, right?" She said. Sakura forced a smile, inwardly steaming with anger. AFTER ALL I HELPED HER WITH! GAHHH! JESSICA WENT AND MADE SURE KONOHA FOUND ME OUT! GOD DAMN HER! Her Inner Sakura raged on, pretending to beat up their Jukokage. "I also have a tour guide for you." Tsunade said. "He will show you around Konoha. Also, I rented you two apartments and you don't have to pay. So, just think of this as your own vacation!" She explained. Mariah got even happier and she let out her own girlish screech from happiness. Someone knocked on the door, Tsunade let them in, and Sakura hated living even more. "This is your tour guide, Uchiha Sasuke."

Mariah saw her companion reaching for her kunai to pierce her heart. From what Sakura told her about, Uchiha Sasuke, Sakura had loved him for many years. And the day he came back, she left him. Sakura had also told her that if she must say her name, her name is Akura(2). "Sasuke, these are the two Kuniochi that you will show around." Tsunade said, motioning them to say their own names. "Mariah" "Akura." they answered. Sasuke simply nodded and motioned for them to follow him as they walked out of the office. "So, your the two kunoichi from Yue(3). I heard that your the strongest out of all the shinobi. Impressive." He said, trying to start a conversation. GASP! He must really be out of it! Because Sasuke-kun always ENDS conversations, not STARTS them! Inner Sakura yelled, obviously flabbergasted(sp?).

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

"Thanks. But, we really don't deserve the credit." The so-called Akura said. Sasuke raised a oh-so-elegant brow. "Why?" He asked, smirking. "Because, our power is just thanks to the Jukokage and from our previous villages!" Mariah yelled. "So, you actually lived in other villages before Yue?" He inquired. "Yea. I lived in Suna then I moved to the mist the Yue. Sa-I mean Akura had lived here, in Konoha when she was little. When she was five, she walked the path to Yue, all alone. I met her when I was walking from Suna to the mist. I saw her in Yue and remembered her. Soon, it will mark my fourth year in Yue!" Mariah explained happily, noticing her major slip-up. Sakura made a mental note to murder Mariah. Sasuke saw Mariah's mistake, and took time to get a gook look at Akura. Sasuke was on the right, Akura in the middle, and Mariah on the left, he was happy of the lineup so he could sneakily study Akura. He had to admit, she looked oddly familiar. One work came to his mind. Sakura... He noticed a miniscule of pink hair, trying to seep through past her mask. He also noticed her eye color, even through her red eye slits. Pink hair, green eyes. Sakura... Was all he could think about.

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

They walked to the apartment building. Sasuke handed Akura the key that says 906 and Mariah 907. "I live in 613 so you can come and ask for help anytime. My friends are having a picnic tomorrow. Do you want to come?" He asked, being polite for once. Before Sakura could object, Mariah got there first. "Sure, we'd love to go but we don't want to intrude." Sasuke shook his head. "Its fine, don't worry. Be sure to be awake and dressed by 12pm because thats when I'll come get you." Sasuke explained then left.

Once they were sure that he left, Sakura went up to Mariah. "Yeah Mariah. First you almost said my real name then you got us into going to see my old friends again!" Sakura whispered, angrily. "Sakura, I'm so sorry! Please don't yell!" Mariah whispered back, a bit too loud. "Sorry about the outburst." Sakura whispered back, opening her door. She forgot to close it when she slid off her mask, her pink locks falling around her and her eyes opened to see a very open door. Shit, hopefully nobody saw that! She thought. But, her hopes were shattered. As his suspitions were right, Akura was indeed Haruno Sakura. He silently prayed, thanking god that he heard their entire conversation. "Not to tell them, what really happened to Haruno Sakura." He said, walking off to the gang.

Trails in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

It was finally morning. The girls got up from their beds, taking their showers. Sakura knew she couldn't wear her mask so she let her hair down, dying it black. She put on her black jeans that had chains along the sides and a red and black shirt. Her makeup just consisted of shiny lips, light black eyeliner, and light red eyeshadow. Someone knocked on her door and since it was 9, she knew it wasn't Sasuke. 'Come in' she replied. Mariah stepped in. Mariah dyed her hair blond, leaving some streaks of her natural skyblue-haired-ness. Her shirt erm tubetop was a dark pink with a red skirt reaching about mid-thigh. Mariah had medium makeup on, not light nore heavy. Medium red lipstick, medium red eyeliner, and medium hotpink eyeshadow. "Showing off?" Mariah asked Sakura. Sakura gave her a confused look and looked at herself sideways in a full-length mirror. "What do you mean by 'showing off'?" Sakura asked. Mariah gave up with a sigh and nevermind because of course, Sakura didn't get her joke. "Look whos showing off! Ms. SLUT!" Sakura yelled. Mariah looked in the mirror and she indeed did look like a slut. "Hey, I wear this all the time to impress the hotties in Yue but noo! They don't notice me at all!" After a few hours, Sasuke finally knocked at the door. Akura and Mariah stepped out and Sasuke led them to the park.

So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories for us to see
I beg don't leave me

While walking, no words were exchanged. They were all thinking something. Sasuke was thinking about how to tell 'Akura' that he knows she's Sakura and how the others will react. Sakura was thinking about how she swore she saw Sasuke watching her take her hair down in the open doorway and how she thinks he over-heard her and Mariah's convo after he left. All Mariah could think about is how many hotties attention she can catch with her slutty outfit. They finally arrived with Naruto running up to them. Mariah gasped. "Naruto?" She asked. Naruto turned to see her. That can't be Sakura! He said, eying her slut costume. "It's Mariah. The one that beat you in the ramen-eating contest!" She yelled happily. "And this is my comrad Akura. She's the one with the dragon mask and she's not really a people-person." Mariah informed. Naruto gave a sigh of relief that the slut wasn't Sakura. HOW COULD A SLUT BEAT ME IN EATING RAMEN? WHYY??? Was his train of thought.

Sasuke brought them over to the others. Sakura's eyes softened. There sat Ino, Shikamaru, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Choji, Hinata, Shino, Kiba, even the Kazekage Gaara, Temari, Kankuro. She was surprised to see that they were all friends with Kin, Dosu, and Zaku. "Hey guys!" An unfamiliar voice called to them all. There, on the horizon, appeared Tayuya, Kidomaru, Jirobu, Kimimaru, Sakon, and Ukon. They are all here, but why? Sakura thought. "Guys, this is Mariah and Akura." He said. Their eyes widened at Mariah's slutty attire. Mariah cried out "I KNOW YOUR ALL THINKING IM A SLUUUTTTT!!!" She wailed out. "Mariah, calm down! Its okay!" Akura said, sounding exactly like herself, Sakura. Shit, now they really know! She thought.

Please tell me what we have is real

After that, they all got along. When Mariah was having yet another eating contest with Naruto, Sakura leaned against her name-tree on the other side so no one could see her. "I know it's you, Sakura." I sexy voice whispered. The sound came from right next to her. Her eyes traveled and they just had to land on Uchiha Sasuke. "What are you talking about?" Sakura asked. "Haruno Sakura, do not lie to me." Sasuke hissed out. In a matter of seconds, his lips landed forcefully on hers. Sakura didn't know what to do. After about a minute, she pushed him back and ran off into the woods. He shoved his back onto the tree and banged his head, for being so, him.

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day then continues in the background
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
