She has four hours to get home, to tell her parents about her mission, and pack her bags.

'Lets hope mom and dad don't have a fit about it.'

'Oh don't sweat about it. Sure they might get mad at you for going on the mission. But o well we can get over it.'

'Do you have a comment on everything I say?'

Not hearing anything else from her inner-self Sakura ran home.

----------At Home-----------

Sakura entered he house to complete emptiness. No one was in sight, she checked upstairs and then in the backyard.

'No one's here, I guess I'll leave then a note though.'

Sakura made her way back to the kitchen. Looking around for some food, who would know when she would get a good meal even if her mission is only a C-Rank. Setting up her so called "dinner" she spotted a note on the table.

Dear: Our Sakura:

Your father and I have been called away from Kohana on emergence business. We don't know when we will be back, so take care of yourself. Remember we love you.

Love:

Mom

'Oh just great. They leave again without telling me why they have to leave!'

'Look at the bright side we can go on the mission and not have to worry about their reaction.'

'I guess your right.'

'WOAHHH! Your not mad at me? Wow mood swings much?

Sakura just rolled her eyes at her inner-self and made her way to her dinner. While she was sitting there at the table she thought about the mission a little more.

'Well I will be going to the Cloud Country. This is gonna be so hard trying to avoid my aunts and uncles. They are always all over the place. But I guess it's a good thing I'm going because I never really see them. Like I would want to. They just……..just…….ugh I have to stop thinking that!'

Sakura snapped out of her little thinking train when she felt the fork hit her mouth with no food on it. After placing the dish in the sink she made her way to the shower. Then Sakura went to her room and started to pack her bag.

'Hey! I just got the most brilliant idea in the world!!!'

'Oh god—Sakura rolled her eyes—what could it possible be this time?'

'Well you know hoe in out dream San had some secret room thing? Why don't we see if it really works?...Hey wait a minute!! What do you mean by what could it possibly be THIS time?! You don't like my ideas?!'

Sakura just laughed at her inner-self. Sometimes she was annoying but most of the time she was her best friend and would get her out of anything.

'That actually is a good idea! We should check it out.'

Sakura got out of her room, placed her bag over her shoulder and crossed through the living room to open the French sliding doors that revealed the backyard. The backyard wasn't big yet wasn't tiny either. You could say it was the perfect size. The grass is a beautiful shade of green, the garden in the far corner was outlined with small crystal stones that reflected the suns light revealing rainbows on the grass. There, there was a shed in the back corner of the yard. Sakura gathered up her courage and made her way to the shed. To tell you the truth she never saw any of her parents enter the shed until Sakura had that dream last night. That got Sakura to wonder and stop dead in her tracks.

'Why do all of a sudden start to have dreams about when I'm a child and all of a sudden I start to question if going into that creepy shed where no one goes in?'

'Maybe its part of your childhood that you just forgot about? Keep in mind we never thought about San until the dreams, and then we have a dream were "supposedly" San and Itachi are together.'

'THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!! I remember my childhood whether I like it or not and Itachi would never be with my sister because we didn't even know him at all. Itachi is a cold hearted bastard, like…..what Sasuke is slowly growing into.-Sakura lets a tear drop down her cheek-

'Well you never know. I still am sticking to my theory.'

'Ok you do that, but I believe that it isn't real.'

'What are you talking about? You don't have any theory! I do!!'

'OK I will explain to you. A dream is a figment of your imagination that your brain creates from what you most deeply want in life. So I believe tall this is just me freaking out from yesterdays battle and YOU GETTING LOOSE DURING IT!!!!'

'Hehehehe (laughs) but lets be logical here. Why would you "deeply" want Itachi with your sister? Or that really freaky dream when you two are out at night and ends in a scream? I still don't get that.'

I DIDN'T SAY I KNEW EVERYTHING!!! I just think that this is what's happening'

'Ok whatever. Hurry up and walk to that shed MISSY!!'

'Jeez you are pushy.'

Ending the conversation at that Sakura continued walking, slowly might I add, to the old shed.

--------------Deep into a Forest------------

There were shadows hiding behind trees trying to conceal themselves. One was checking to see if the coast was clear. Checking about a couple trillion times, he gave a signal to there men. The scout left giving the 3 men some privacy.

The first man started the conversation seeing that the other two weren't gonna start the conversation anytime soon.

"The leader has informed me that the team with the 9-tailed fox us going on a mission to Wind Country."

"……………" said the second man leaning up against a tree looking lazily around.

The 3rd man looked at the second man then at the first man.

"I'll answer for him. Yes we know that but what exactly do you want US to do about it?"

the first man took a deep sigh.

'I guess this is going to be a long explanation.' Thought the second man bracing himself for their yell after his yell.

"Well it seems that Leader has found some other victim that has caught his attention as well. He says for you two to follow the team and observe what they do. I cant give you anymore specifics than that. But also keep watch out when entering Wind Country, they are vicious and not an enemy to be taken lightly. Got it."

'Man I knew that was gonna be long.' Thought man number two.

Man number three got out of his lazy stance and asked a simple question.

"How long?" it was more like a statement that a question.

The 1st man thought and said

'And here I thought he would never speak.'

"As long as their mission is" he said.

With that the three went their separate ways.

--------Back to Sakura and Her Shed-------

Sakura walked cautiously up to the old white-painted-pealing shed. Taking a large gulp, she gathered up all her courage and placed a shaking hand on the old-rusty handle.

'W-w-why am I so scared? It isn't like I'm going to find some murder victim that has decayed into just a pile of bones' (AN: or maybe she might!! Oh how funny would that be?) Sakura again took a shaky sharp breath and opened the door. When the door opened she was greeted by a HUGE cloud of dust.

"-cough, cough, cough- Since when did dad clean this shed?"

'Who knows. AHHHH!!! WATCH OUT FOR THAT BIG BOX IN THE WAY!!!'

But Inner-Sakura was to late with her warning. Sakura took a big and did I mention HARD boom to the ground.

"Ow! Thanks for the warning!"

"No problem!"

Sakura picked herself up and looked at what tripped her. AND IT WAS A SKELETON!!! (AN: lol I'm just kidding. There really isn't any skeleton 0) No actually what she tripped over was a much smaller and less scary than a skeleton. It was a smashed picture with the glass shattered from the frame, everywhere.

"I wonder……"

Sakura approached the picture only to be flabbergasted. The picture had her on top of the shoulders of a guy about her age now and net to him was her sister hugging the man with black spiky hair.

"I-I-I-IMPOSSIBLE! NO! IT CANT BE!!!"

Sakura examined the picture more closely and found red eyes in the bushes staring, no more like glaring at her sister.

"Who would be glaring at San-nii-chan?"

'I don't know. Take the picture with you and we can ask mom and dad when we get back from the mission.'

Listening to her inner-self's words, Sakura obeyed her command and looked around trying to find where it was that San put her hand on to that brown cork board that held about 10 wrenches. Seeing that the shelf that had a cork board next to a shelf Sakura placed her hand up on the board.

'The moment of truth.'

Sakura concentrated her chakra to her hand and it started to glow. She then made her hand turn 60 degrees left and then 30 degrees right. Then in a few seconds the cork board was one and it was now a door. The door was regular size with stained red oak doors. What surprised Sakura was that the door handle was not rusty like the door handle on the shed. Taking a deep sigh, which seemed like the millionth time that day, she opened the door.

She stepped inside the room only to have her mouth drop wide open.

'I don't get it. how can that door look like it was brand new……"

'But the room look like a haunted mansion during Halloween?'

'Yeah'

'Like I know'

Inner-Sakura had a point. The room was covered in dust, the tables, chairs and everything else was covered by stone-grey sheets. It was along the lines of down-right scary.

'LETS LOOK AROUND! I LOVE SCARY STUFF!'

'Oh well then you wouldn't mind what you see every morning in the mirror would you?'

'You mean my face…….HEY! SOOOOO UNCALLED FOR!!'

'I'm sorry( giggles) I couldn't resist.'

Brushing aside her laughter, Sakura decides to take off the sheets. First the chairs and tables came uncovered then the machine in the back. After that the desk was next to be uncovered. Some sensation drew Sakura to that desk. Looking through everything Sakura came across a book.

'It looks like a diary. Should I read it?'

Sakura decided to open the cover only to see some type of bracelet. Picking it up she examined it. It had 5 main colors yellow, white, blue, green, and red. Each color had a charm that dangled after it. Each charm represented the color it was after. First was green and next to it was a charm in a shape of a flower. Then blue with a charm in a shape of a manatee. White came next and it had a cloud charm, red is second to last with a flame charm, and last but not least came yellow with a thunderbolt charm after the yellow bead. Sakura examined it a few seconds more and found herself trying it on. It fit perfectly and the charms were not to dangly either.

'ITS BEAUTIFUL!'

'It is isn't it? Should I look into the book?'

'YES! OPEN IT!'

Sakura picked up the book and walked over to the couch only to trip yet again on something else.

'WTF! Everything is tripping me today!'

Sakura turned around planning on glaring at the thing that tripped her, but stopped her glare to see a beautiful sword. Even through it only had its sheath on it still looked amazing. Taking the sword gently into her hands she took off the sheath. Only to once again gasp at the beautiful sword before her. It was of perfect size to carry on her back and felt positively weightless. At the middle of the stainless steal blade it had a cherry blossom pedal. The handle was of royal purple which fit comfortably in her hand.

'I say lets use it for the mission.'

'For once I agree with you'

Sakura put back on the sheath and placed it on the couch. Picking up the book she sits next to where the sword was placed on the couch. Gently rubbing her hand over the fragile cover of the "book" some dust receded from it.

'Ooookkkkk?'

Sakura couldn't read the title on the book so she held it closer to her face. What stunned her was that on the cover said "San's Property" (AN: Yes it's a diary) Sakura returned the diary to her lap and started to flip through the pages.

'Blah…………………..Blah……………………….Blah……………is there ANYTHING INTERESTING?'

'Wait a minute there is something right there!!!'

Sakura put the page that she was about to turn back to its original spot and read the entry with great interest.

March 2nd,

Ugh. I'm sick of all this training, day in and day out. I have no earthly idea how Itachi-kun does it! But that was just the bad half of my day, the AWESOME half is that I found this CUTTTEEEE bracelet charm thingy. I asked mom about it and she said that the held much power. Which sounds like a load of shit if you ask me. But anyway, then she got into a lecture on how at some time one charm will light up indication that I have so called "mastered" that stage. OH CONFUSED I AM! Then he mood was so dark that I thought she was gonna flip out on me. Of course, me being me, I asked if there was a special thing that made it do this. What surprised me was that she said it was because of our blood limit. HA HA HA! I don't think we have one. but yet if we do that would be SOO AWESOME!!! I could show up Mr. Itachi Uchiha and his blood line. The only thing that I think is crazy is when people say that when I get mad my eyes change color from green to like a freaky orange/red. YEAH RIGHT! Sakura is soooo lucky she doesn't have to figure it out. We can just tell her.

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

'Oh you have no idea what hell I've been through watching everyone I know have a unique talent or blood line while I got NOTHING!'

'Woahhh! Wait a minute. Not anymore! We at least know that we have one. maybe we should take this as well so we can read it later.'

'Good idea……OH CRAP!! I'M GOING TO BE LATE. AGAIN!!!'

Sakura ran out of the secret room with the sword on her back, book in hand, and bag in the other hand. With all her mite she ran fast, but not to fast afraid that she would tire herself out before they even left to go on the mission, to get to the east gate of Kohana.

--------------At the Gates---------------

To Sakura's amazement she was the first one there. Though being there alone didn't last long. Soon after she showed up Naruto showed.

"Hey Sakura-Chan!" waved a excited Naruto as he ran to Sakura

Sakura smiled at him with her own unique smile.

'Did Sakura-Chan just smile at me? Dang! She must be in a good mood! I can use this as an advantage to get her to like me better than TEME!'

"Here there Naruto. Excited for the mission?"

"Yeah! Of course! We get to travel to…….." Naruto stopped suddenly in the middle of his sentence because he totally forgot where they were going to go.

"Rain Country and Wind Country…….Dobe." said Sasuke

(AN: Yes, he randomly just popped out of no where)

"Who asked you Sasuke-Teme?!"

Sakura looked back and forth between her two teammates

'Man do they fight a lot. They fight more than Inner-Sakura and I do.'

What Sakura didn't notice was that Naruto was waiting for the impact of Sakura's fist to his head. Normally she would hit him senselessly because he insulted Sasuke.

"Guys come on now. STOP FIGHTINIG! Listen, Sasuke if you didn't pick on Naruto so much he wouldn't annoy you. That same rule applies to you Naruto."

Naruto's mouth dropped wide open. (AN: IF he doesn't close it soon he is gonna swallow a lot of flies 0 ) Sasuke's eyes went a little wide from Sakura's action. Now that is when Kakashi popes out of no where.

"Well Naruto and Sasuke. I this you should listen to Sakura. We cant have your lack of teamwork jeopardize the mission."

"For once Kakashi-Sensei your not late." Sakura said

"Well Sakura, it's just that this is a raw occasion. But anyway, if we are all ready shall we be on our way?"

Getting two head nods and one "Hn" they departed Kohana while running from tree-top to tree-top.

-------------------5 hours later------------------

The group has been running for quite some time now and weren't even close to Rain country. Finding a suitable camp site Kakashi split up the chores. Naruto and Sasuke would go to the nearest lake and catch fish. Sakura would go in the forest and get firewood and he would simply watch the campsite. (AN: which is another way of saying he can sit on his lazy butt! But that is why we love him)

After the campfire was set up and Naruto and Sasuke got back with the fish, they took them and stuck them on little pieces of branch and set it up next to the fire.

While the camp fire was roasting the fish Kakashi and the team formed a circle. Kakashi pulled out a map and three markers.

"Kakashi-Sensei what are you doing with a map and markers?" asked Naruto playing with the markers.

"Dobe"

"---punch----Sasuke stop harassing Naruto, your just instigating the name calling fight."

"Well Sakura, I'm glad to see that your taking the whole teamwork thing very seriously."

"Thank-you Kakashi-sensei. So what exactly are we doing with the map?"

"Thanks for punching Sasuke-Teme for me Sakura-Chan, but I could of done it myself."

Naruto backed off seeing the look on Sakura's face. It had the look like her patience is wearing thin and she was going to explode any minute.

"Anyway like I said, this map is going to mark our route to Rain Country. The markers are going to be the route that we follow."

"Why have so many colors?"

"Because Naruto, it is to make the map look colorful."

"Ohhhhh."

"He was being sarcastic dobe."

"What?!!!"

"Yes Naruto, Sasuke is right I am being sarcastic, the colors are for different routes to take."

"What happens if the map is apprehended by an enemy. We would be leading them right to where we are going."

"Sasuke, the colors are to confuse the enemy so if he does take one, one might be longer than the other or one will lead him straight back in a circle."

"Exactly right Sakura."

"Wait then Kakashi-sensei how would we know which route to take?"

"We will pick the best person out of the group and they will know which route it is."

"But that means you know the route since you are the one that knows where to go."

"Not exactly Sasuke. Sakura is going to make the route."

At this Naruto and Sasuke turned their heads to Sakura.

'Why would she know where to go? She never has been out of Kohana, only has been to Mist Country like us.'

"Kakashi-sensei how come I cant make out the route?!" whined Naruto

"Because Naruto, Sakura's been there before and knows the route better than any of us. Isn't that right Sakura?"

Everyone turned to look at Sakura once again.

"uhhhhh…..well yeah….but I haven't been there in a while."

"that is ok Sakura, once you see the map it will come back to you."

With that Kakashi handed the map to Sakura. Sakura looked over the map for a few seconds then all of a sudden they saw her face light up. Quickly Sakura took the three markers and drew the routes.

'With this green route the "enemy" will be going around the village and will end up in Water-Fall Country, where they can beat him up. The blue one will send them around millions of circles and through a genjutsu cave. The final yellow one that not many people can see is the right path through the woods.'

"All done! Here you go Kakashi-sensei, I'm all done!"

Kakashi took the map out of her hands to admire her handy work.

'Well, well, well it seems Sakura can map out routes very well. Wait a minute there are only two routs.'

"Sakura, there are only two routs, where is the third?"

Sakura ran up net to Kakashi and pushed her finger along the line she set. Kakashi still couldn't see it at first but then he saw it. Getting a black marker out of the bag he made the line more noticeable. Then he put his map away.

After everyone ate their fish they got straight to bed. Naruto would watch for the first three hours then Sasuke then Sakura would watch three then Kakashi would watch for the rest of the night.

------------Sakura's Shift-------------

'Ugh….I don't like watching for enemies.'

'Yeah, it is so uneventful isn't it? At least we have each other to keep us occupied.'

'Wow that sounded really corny but ok.'

Sakura set herself up high in a tree hidden from anything that would come her way. Thinking of what could entertain her she decided to draw on the tree. (AN: WELL I do that wen I'm bored out of my mind so yeah) Taking a kunai out of her holster she started to draw a tiger. After she was done drawing the tiger all of a sudden it started to glow.

'Woahh!!! What is going on?! Anyone can see this glow from miles away!'

'Hurray up and cover it up!!!'

'What do you think I'm trying to do?'

-------------With the Stalkers------------

'So it seems that she has encountered her first. And here I thought she was going to be weak.'

'But then that would mean she is just like "her"

'I thought I got rid of YOU!! GO AWAY?!

'Fine, but you know I'm right.'

-------------------------Back to Sakura and her Glowing Tree--------------------

The light engulfed her and then vanished.

'Well that was strange.'

Then as she looked back at her drawing the thing talked to her. (AN: YES IT TALKED TO HER)

"Are you Sakura-San of the Sentare clan?" it asked

"Y-y-y-yes…..w-w-why d-d-do y-y-you w-w-want t-t-to k-k-k-know?"

"Then I will introduce myself to you. My name is………………….."
