An: Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer I don't own Naruto.

*In Sakura's Dream*

You need hatred-

The same eyes as me-

Sukuyumi Sharkurin-

You're a monster, maybe even more so than I-

FIGHT ME!

-Sakura's POV-

I woke up on the library table sweating, with a book in my hands.

It was only a dream.

I signed, and walked outside, then lazily looked up at the position of the sun.

I'm late. Great.

Taking my time I walked back to the Haruno mansion, took a shower, got dressed in clean clothes, and prepared my ninja weapons. Then I placed the book I took from the library on my bed.

I'll read its content later.

Walking slowly to the Academy where I was required to meet my new Sensei, I strayed from the path and headed towards the Memorial Stone, where those who were KIA (Killed In Action) rested. I wanted to pay my respects to them.

I'm going to be late anyway, might as well thank those who died trying sealing the Nine Tailed Fox inside of me. I also need to apologise to Iruka's parents, they didn't deserve to die. I'm so sorry Iruka. Not to mention. Naurto's father, Minato. Thank you, and I'm so sorry. I didn't ask for this.

I clutched my stomach, frowning.

I reached the stone, only to find out I wasn't the only one here today. Although I didn't know the man standing there, I casually walked to the stone.

Judging by he's height and uniform, I guessed he was a Jounin, with silver hair, and a mask covering his face, and he's headband covering he's right eye. So only he's left eye could see.

Once I was beside him, we didn't say a word to each other, we just stood there, minding our own business.

Then I dropped to my knees and kept staring at the stone.

Why me? Why am I all alone with this burden only on my shoulders why!

My eyes narrowed.

"What is a pretty girl like you doing here?" I heard the tall Jounin speak.

My eyes widened and I looked at him with my emerald green eyes. "I'm-"

I looked back to the stone.

"I'm giving my respect for those who have been Killed in Action." I whispered.

"Oh, I see. But you're still a child. You don't need to worry about this." He replied.

"But I'm not. My childhood ended 8 years ago." I stiffened.

He kept looking at me.

"On that day of the Haruno massacre." I muttered.

The man's eye widened.

"I'm so sorry." He looked away.

I nodded, and kept looking at the stone.

Silence overcame us and we kept it like that for a good 10 minutes.

I then turned around and started to walk away.

"Hey, girl. What might be your name?" The tall man asked.

"You know its common courteous to give your own name before asking another." I said matter-of-factly.

"Kakashi Hatake." He looked like he was smiling.

"Sakura Haruno." I looked down.

"I should be going now. I was supposed to meet my new Sensei an hour ago. I'm part of Squad 7, and I'm sure my teammates Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha, are planning how to kill me for being late." I signed in dismay.

He laughed, "Well it was nice meeting you, Sakura."

"The pleasure was all mine Kakashi." I bowed respectfully and headed towards to Academy taking my good old time.

Once I arrived in the room we were supposed to meet in I was greeted with Naruto's yelling, and Sasuke's scolding.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU OF ALL PEOPLE ARE LATE SAKURA!" Naruto yelled.

"Sakura, we're supposed to be setting a good example for Naruto, not leading him into believing nonsense." Sasuke scoffed.

"SAKURA! THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU DID SOMETHING HAPPEN? EXPLAIN RIGHT THIS INSTANT WHY YOU'RE AN HOUR LATE!" Naruto kept raising his voice.

"Naughty Sakura, do I need to teach you a thing of two?" Sasuke asked.

"Naruto calm the fuck down. Raising your voice at me isn't helping the situation. And I slept in, apologises for making you both worry so much." I said trying to get them both to calm down.

Just then the door slid open and I noticed it that guy from the Memorial Stone. Kakashi.

Naruto then pointed at him and yelled as loud as possible, "YOU'RE LATE!" I was certain that all of Konoha heard him.

Sasuke then grabbed Naruto and head locked him. "Shut up Dobe, don't scare him away now with your Dobyness." Sasuke joked.

Kakashi closed the door behind him and exhaled a heavy breath.

"My first impression of all of you is, you're all a bunch of idiots."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" Naruto yelled again.

Sasuke smashed Naruto's face in and bowed at Kakashi apologising.

I shook my head.

Why am I stuck with both of them?

After several minutes of Sasuke and Naruto fighting, Kakashi managed to get us outside in an open area.

"Okay how about we introduce ourselves, I'll go first to give an example." Kakashi ordered.

-Kakashi's POV-

"My name is Kakashi Hatake, and I would prefer it if you called me 'Kakashi-Sensei.' What I like, I don't really want to tell you, what I don't like, I don't really want to tell you that either, and my dreams for the future, you're all too young to understand that. So, you on the left can go first."

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen, and comparing ramen, and I especially love the ramen here at Ichiraku Ramen. I don't like Sasuke. And I dream to become the greatest Hokage, so everyone will look up to me! Believe it!" Naruto said jumping up and down.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I like the Uchiha clan, my family, and a certain person. I don't like Naruto. And I dream to surpass my older brother Itachi in power." Sasuke said fairly proudly.

"My name is Sakura Haruno. I don't particularly –like- anything. I dislike most things. And what I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality, I am going to kill a certain someone." Sakura said kind of darkly.

Funny how she grew up. I thought.

So let's see we have a knucklehead (Naruto), and Amateur (Sasuke), and an Avenger (Sakura). What an interesting companion. This might even be fun.

"Okay training starts first thing tomorrow, and don't eat breakfast, or else you'll puke." I said.

"Why not right now!" Naruto whinned.

"Where would the fun in that be?"

"Hn" Sakura started walking towards the deserted Haruno district by herself.

-Sakura's POV-

Once I made it home I went to the Haruno mansion and went straight to my room.

I flopped on my bed and stared up at the white ceiling.

This feeling of emptiness just doesn't go away does it.

I signed and closed my eyes; I needed to take a long fucking rest. That's right a, long mother fucking rest.

Completely forgetting about the Romeo and Juliet book that fell to the floor, I drifted into slumber.

-Sasuke's POV-

I noticed how Sakura was walking home by herself. I knew she felt lonely, but I knew, as well as she did, there was nothing I could say to make her feel better.

Following her home, I masked my chakra, watching her every step.

Finally when we made it to her room, she fell asleep.

Was she really that tired?

No, I knew her better than that, I knew Sakura ever since we were kids, her mother and my mother we best friends, my father was best friends with her father, and even my brother was best friends with her brother. Sakura wasn't sleeping because she was tired, she was sleeping because she didn't want to face the fact that everything she ever had was gone.

I remember the day she did lose everything though.

It was Sakura's birthday too.

My mind drifted to that faithful day.

*FLASHBACK*

"Mom I'm going over to the Haruno district to wish Sakura a Happy 5thbirthday." I smiled brightly.

"But Sasuke your brother is coming back from he's mission today, it would be better if you stayed home." Mother reasoned.

"But-" I protested.

"Not buts Sasuke."

"Okay." I agreed.

"Itachi! It's Sakura's birthday today!" I ran and welcomed him back.

"Yes I know, Daishiro told me about it. He wouldn't stop talking about it while we were on our mission." Itachi smiled at me.

"I want to go see her, but Mother won't let me." I pouted.

"Oh? That's too bad. Just see her tomorrow, when you both start at the Academy."

"Hehe okay, you're the best older brother!"

The next morning, when I came down for breakfast, everyone was dressed in black; Mother was crying, Father held his head low, and Itachi had water in his eyes.

"What's going on?" I asked innocently.

Itachi looked at me and shook his head. "Come with me little brother." He wiped the tears from his eyes.

I followed him out on the dock.

"What's wrong with all of you? Did something happen?"

"Yes something happened Sasuke, I never saw it coming, I-I couldn't do anything to prevent it." Itachi started.

"What? What couldn't you prevent?" I asked.

"The Haruno Clan… Everyone was murdered last night, except for Sakura, and her older brother Daishiro was nowhere to be found." Tears filled Itachi's eyes again.

Tears ran down my face.

"The entire Haruno Clan. Gone. Just like that. No. Sakura." I thought.

I started balling my eyes out.

"Wh-what's going to happen t-t-to Sa-Sakura?" I sobbed.

"Well she's currently in the hospital recovering from her physical injuries, and more importantly her mental injuries. Having all of that happen to her in one day really took quite a toll on her mind." My older brother stated sadly.

"An-and Daishiro?" I asked.

Itachi hugged me a little harder at the mention of his name.

"I don't know Sasuke. I don't know."

"I'm so so-sorry Brother, I-I know th-that Daishiro was your be-best fr-friend." I kept sobbing.

"It's okay little brother. I know it hurts now, but the pain will heal. At least for us, for Sakura, I don't know if this void in her heart will ever heal."

As we stood there hugging each other for what seemed like forever. I cried and cried, until I collapsed from crying so much.

*BACK TO THE PRESENT*

I stared at Sakura as she slept.

Why are you trying to separate yourself from me Sakura? Don't you know it hurts to be away from you?

AN: PLEASE REVIEW! :D
