'Bold'Sakura talking to Inner Sakura

'Bold Italics' Inner Sakura talking.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto...yet!

Sakura's P.O.V.

Sai held out a neatly folded piece of paper. I wasn't that I was scared obviously, but I was hesitant to take the note from him.

Naruto had always been like a brother to me. That is until my emotions ran away. It wasn't his fault, nor was it Sasuke's. It was my choice and no one could have stopped me if I was given the offer.

Flashback

'Sakura-chan? What's the matter?'

I had just returned from a mission with Naruto Sai. It was yet another retrieval mission for Sasuke…Well, we found Sasuke, but he was stronger than all of us. We were not prepared for that sort of power! Especially me!

We ended up starting a fight, and during that fight, Sasuke called me weak, again. It hurt of course, but I had to hide it. If I burst out crying in the middle of the battle field, it would only be proving Sasuke's words. I had to show him I was stronger! I had to! And I did, for longer than I expected I could, but when we arrived back in Konoha, my façade crumbled away.

'It's my stupid emotions!' I replied yelling at Inner Sakura. 'They always get in the way! They make me weak! I wish…I wish I could be like Itachi!'

After I spoke those words, Inner Sakura paused; as if she were negotiating something with herself. When she spoke, I knew she was.

'Are…are you sure Sakura-chan?'

'YES! I would do anything to get rid of these stupid things!'

'Well, there is a way, but-'

'Really? I'll do it! Just tell me what to do!'

'Um…Well, you're going to have to lock me away. You see, I am your emotions, but in a higher form. In other words, without me, your emotions would disappear.'

I was absolutely shocked by Inner Sakura's words and I was barely even able to utter the words I said next.

'But Saku-chan, I'll get lonely if you leave!"

'No you won't. You will feel nothing. Plus, I want this for you. Emotions hold a numerous amount of your chakra and people with inner selves can get rid of those 'useless things' much easier than the people without them. Look at Itachi! I bet he locked up his Inner self years ago! All you have to do is wish that I leave, and your emotions will begin to fade.'

I hesitated to do what Inner Sakura had just asked of me. She was my best friend! How could I just lock up my friend for ultimate power? Besides, why would I want to? But when I really thought about it, I saw how eager I was to lose my worthless emotions and become all powerful, so I let my do what it wanted.

'Hai Saku-chan. I command you to leave.'

'Of course Sakura-chan. I will miss you!'

'Wait! Will you ever come back?'

'That all depends…'

Then her voice disappeared. No matter how many times I called for her after that, she never answered…and she hasn't ever since that day.

Sai's P.O.V.

I watched Sakura hesitate. I really began to wonder what she was thinking about. Her face was void of all emotions, but somehow, I was still able to tell she was thinking.

Naruto predicted that she would do this. He told me before I left that she wouldn't know what to do with the note. He also told me to help her with her decision, but seeing Sakura like that…It chilled me to the bone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normal P.O.V

Sakura gently took the note from Sai's delicate hand and placed it in one of the many pockets on her ANBU vest.

Sai found this strange. He expected her to read it right on the spot, but instead she surprised him by barely even glancing at it. Sakura must have noticed Sai's awkward look because she said something almost immediately.

"This is for later, Sai-san. We should be going now."

With those words, the boys and Sakura disappeared in a flurry of colors.

Kakashi's P.O.V.

Sakura had always had great chakra control. It was what gave her such great medical skills and super strength. Now it gave her super speed. She could run just as many laps as Gai, but much faster and with less fatigue. It was a phenomenal gift to say the least.

When she was a genin, she was semi-talented, but in her own way. She never noticed it, but the boys were sometimes the ones watching her back. That is, until we split.

I trained Sasuke and Jariaya trained Naruto. No one was there for Sakura. It was her teaching herself.

I guess I might have even pitied her to some extent, but I always thought she would be too weak to match up to my standards, so I gave it little thought…Don't I feel stupid? This weak little girl, has transformed into a beautiful young women that has even surpassed the Hokage. Meaning she passed me in the race for strength ages ago!

It began to make me wonder, if I had spent more time with Sakura, would she still have emotions? Would she be as strong as she is now? Or would she be stronger? And what if I hadn't trained Sasuke? Would he have left? Was it all my fault?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura's P.O.V.

I was extremely far ahead of the others. I didn't mean to go so fast; it was just a habit from my training. I decided to slow down, so I could assist my team if anything happened.

Sai was the first to catch up with me. Kakashi was to absorbed in his thoughts to even notice my new pace. I noted this as dangerous and decided to break him out of his inner ramblings.

"Kakashi-san. This is an S-class mission .There is no time to daydream."

I watched as Kakashi blinked and turned towards me with a far off gaze. The he nodded his head as if he were just comprehending what I had said. After that, there were no more interruptions…from Kakashi.

My mind was distracted, though I was still running at my normal pace. This thought kept coming back to me even after I had pushed it away several times. It was the fact that Kakashi's mind was on me. And he thought he was being inconspicuous…He's just so easy for me to read these days. Ever since I had transformed in to this horrible, emotionless "monster," all he ever thought about was why I had changed. For Pete's (A/N: Someone please tell me who Pete is…) sake, the man could barely look me in the eye.

Besides the reason that Kakashi was to easy to read, I had one other way I was able to hear his mind. I'm a medic-nin, correct? Therefore I have examined thousands of people; including many shinobi from the Hyuuga clan. All of my patients thought I was merely healing them, but when I am inside of their bodies, I can see all of the techniques they have practiced recently from the pattern their muscles are bruised in.

One of my more interesting finds was that the Hyuuga's have taught themselves an extremely sacred jutsu that allows them to read what is on peoples minds. They use it quite regularly. From my experience with the technique, it has few side effects if any and it uses a tiny amount of chakra that you apply to the brain. Even I use it often. It comes in handy during gathering missions and search and kill missions…just like this one.

Sakura P.O.V.

The boys and I had been traveling for around four days. We knew we were somewhere near sound country, but we had to hunt for the actual 'Otogakure.'

By now we had discussed the plan over and over: seek out any information that would lead us to Otogakure either by force or seducement.

I was the only one who had experience with the Sound country in our group. It was only once with Naruto and Jariaya, but it proved useful to this mission.

You see, we found what might have been their extra base. When we informed the hunter-nin of its whereabouts, they told us it was deserted…But that was when we were still genin. Now it was our turn to be the hunter-nin.
