Not so Weak Anymore
Chapter Eleven
Understandings
-
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking.
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older.
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

'What's that smell?'
Looking around on the battlefield, bodies covered the ground.
No…
Spinning around, the bodies of Ino, Tenten and Hinata were sprawled all over the ground in their own pools of blood.
NOO!
"AH!"
Jolting up, panting heavily, Sakura took five deep breaths, before she noticed a sharp pain in her stomach. Going to clutch her stomach, her arm went out in pain as well, as it was all bandaged up. Trying to remember what happened earlier, Sakura didn't even care for her surroundings.
"It's about time you've woken up."
Looking up, Sakura came face to face with a guy with brown hair, and onyx eyes. Sakura blinked a few times.
"Who are you? Where am I?"
The said boy smiled. Before he could answer, Ino, Tenten and Hinata came running into the said room.
"RIN! YOU'RE AWAKE! THANK THE LORD!" Ino said dramatically knocking over the guy as she lunged for Sakura.
"Miki, could you get off of me? I can't breathe and your hurting me!"
Ino jumped off and grinned. Tenten and Hinata also smiled. Sakura turned to the guy who never answered her question. As She was about to ask for an answer, more people came through the door.
six figures came through the door. Akira, Daisuke, Yugi and three other people Sakura didn't recognize. She was extremely confused.
Akira and Daisuke looked at Sakura. Akira's face showed happiness once she saw Sakura was alright. Daisuke smirked. Akira rushed to Sakura's bed, followed by Daisuke.
"You're alright! That's great Sakura!" Akira said. She then realized she called her by her real name. "I mean, Rin." The guy who was face to face with Sakura scratched the back of his head.
"So what's her name? Sakura or Rin?"
Remembering he never answered her question, Sakura turned to him,
"Hey wait! Who are you?"
Sakura then pointed to the other three guys with Yugi, "And you…and you and you!"
Yugi sighed and pulled up a chair, "Alright, I'll explain, But first, boys introduce yourselves."
The guy who Sakura saw first spoke up, "name's Akito." Looking at this guy, He had an odd hair style, but it looked awesome to be honest.. He had brown hair and onyx eyes. He was wearing a turquoise colored jacket, a white shirt underneath and jeans.
"And the guy over there," Akito said pointing to the guy with blonde hair. "He's Ryo." Ryo smiled and waved with two fingers "Hiya."
"And this guy is Kouji." He said pointing to a guy with red hair and green eyes. He nodded. He seemed to have an attitude like Neji.
"And lastly Sora." Akito said pointing to the guy with... it looked like he had purple hair. He had... greenish yellowish eyes? Sakura couldn't tell. She wasn't exactly seeing things right. She put on a smile.
"Nice to meet you guys. I'm Saku–uh, I mean Rin." She replied with a nod.
"Don't worry, I've already debrief these boys on the situation, so they know all about you. Now, I bet your wondering why they're here girls."
All eyes were on the old man, "Well, being as old as I am, I can't keep up with your generation. I've trained these boys since they were about seven. They almost know everything I know, so I had them come here to help me train you girls. I trust these boys better then anyone. If anyone is to help me train you girls, its them." Yugi said.
Sakura smiled. Then she looked out the window. It was pitch black, "Whoa, what time is it? How long was I knocked out for?"
"About five hours, its twenty past ten." Akito said checking his watch. Sakura nodded, as she examined her arm, looking at the wound she received earlier.
Yugi watched as Sakura began unraveling her wound, "How did you get your wounds?"
Green light emitted from Sakura's hand, as she began healing her arm, "We fought with sound ninja. They came after us when we eased dropped on there conversation."
Kouji finally showing some interest finally joined the conversation, "what was so special about their conversation?"
Sakura stopped healing herself and looked at Kouji, and then at Yugi, "they are planning to attack Konoha in ten months time. Orochimaru can't make the transformation into Sasuke-kun body yet. Also…"
Sakura took a breath, before continuing on, "Kenji is said to join up with sound."
Everyone but Yugi's eyes widened in shock. Yugi nodded, "just as a thought. This is why we need to start preparing now."
Sakura nodded, "they all were talking about Kenji's strength, and how they may kill Orochimaru and just fall under Kenji's rule."
Yugi nodded and stood up, "I see. Well, then we should all get some rest tonight so were ready to train tomorrow."
Everyone nodded and began vacating the room. They were all currently within Sakura and Tenten's bedroom. Tenten stayed behind as everyone left.
"Goodnight girls! See you in the morning!" Ino said leaving the room. Sakura waved bye, but then began concentrating on her stomach, healing the gash.
"We'll be in the other hotel room across the hall if you need us." The purple haired Sora said as he was the last of the four males to leave the room. The two girls nodded.
"Bye Rin and Viola! See you in the morning!" Akira said as she was the last one to leave the room, closing the door. Sakura smiled, waved and said a small 'goodnight' as she left the room.
It had begun thundering outside, as Sakura started healing her thighs. Tenten went over to the window and pulled down the blinds. Heading to her bed, Tenten went through her bags, pulling out her sleeping wear.
"Well that was weird."
Sakura raised an eyebrow, "What was?"
Tenten pulled out an oversized shirt and a pair of PJ pants, "just how those guys appeared. I mean, wouldn't Yugi had said something earlier if these guys were coming? Its just…I don't know…unexpected I guess."
Sakura shrugged, taking all the bandages that were around her and throwing them into a trash can across the room. "Hm, well the old man's a mysterious guy…everything for us is a challenge, and he could be preparing us for it."
As Sakura talked, Tenten switched into her sleeping wear. Once done, she shrugged and pulled over her sheets, letting her slip under the covers, "Meh, I guess your right. Goodnight!"
Sakura smiled as Tenten turned off the lights, "Night."

Sakura couldn't sleep.
It was currently 2 in the morning, and she just couldn't seem to sleep. a thunderstorm outside could be the reason to why she was still up, but Sakura's so used to these storms, she could easily sleep through them.
After many attempts at getting some shut eye, Sakura got restless and went to go get a drink of water. She put her newly brown hair in a messy bun as she was heading to the door. Along the way, she noticed her old team seven picture on her dresser. She went and picked it up, and left the room.
Thunder roared loudly as she walked quietly to the fridge. She opened the fridge and grabbed the water jug.
As she began pouring water into a cup, footsteps alerted her senses. Turning to the source of the footsteps…
Daisuke appeared.
"What are you doing up?"
Daisuke yawned and blinked a few times. He shook his head.
"Couldn't sleep. How about you?"
"Same as you. drink?"
He nodded. She put down the picture and went to grab another glass. Daisuke looked at the picture and studied it. He could tell which one was Sakura. She was the only girl in the picture and her pink her wasn't unnoticeable. He then notice the man standing above Sakura with his hands on the heads of two guys. Understanding that was her sensei, He looked at the blonde kid, and then the raven haired kid.
"Who are these people?"
As Sakura finished pouring his glass of water, she walked over to him, carrying both glasses. She handed him his glass as she looked at the picture. She pointed to her sensei.
"That's my Sensei, Hatake Kakashi. He was one of the strongest jounin around. I'd admired him a lot. He also possessed the Sharingan."
Daisuke looked at her oddly. "But he's not an Uchiha. How does he posses it?"
As much as Sakura didn't like speaking of Kakashi's personal life, she let it slide this time and explained his story.
"His friend was an Uchiha. His friend died on a mission, but gave his eye to the teams medical nin, to implant in Kakashi after one of his eyes were destroyed. Kakashi can't use it as well as a regular Uchiha. Once he uses it, he can't move for awhile."
Daisuke nodded, but then pointed to another figure in the picture, "Who's that guy then?"
Sakura couldn't help but smile as he pointed to Naruto. How she already missed Naruto.
"That's Uzumaki Naruto. He…has had a rough life. He possess the Kyuubi, the nine tailed fox. All his life, he had people shun him because he possessed this beast. He decided he wanted to become a ninja, and one day become Hokage so he could be respected by all. He's like a best friend to me–even a brother. He's, important to me." She said looking at Naruto's picture.
Daisuke nodded. He then pointed to the last figure, "And how about him?"
Thunder roared in the background. Sakura looked at Sasuke's figure in the picture. A small smile was plastered on her face.
"That's my other teammate Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke. He's the one who betrayed the village."
Daisuke remembered how Sakura had told them before of how one of her teammates was an Uchiha and betrayed them.
"You don't have to tell me about him if you don't want too."
Sakura smiled at him and patted him on the head, "You should get back to bed."
Daisuke nodded, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight Daisuke."
She watched Daisuke walk into the room he shared with Akira. Sakura picked up the picture as she headed towards the nearest window. Lighting illuminated the sky and thunder roared in the distance. She traced out everyone's figure–her own, Naruto's, Kakashi's, Sasuke's…
'I miss you guys. Kakashi-sensei, Naruto, Sasuke-kun... Team 7.'
