Chapter 7: God I hate fights

Sakura was sitting down admiring the silence in her house. Her kids were asleep and Ino was on a date with Shikamaru. Today was finally peaceful the entire room was filled with the sweet pleasant smell of cherry blossom from the cherry blossom trees in the back yard. The windows were open and some petals began to dance into the house and float on top of her face. Sakura was about to close her eyes and take a nap until three knocks came from the door. With a huge groan of laziness Sakura rolled off from the couch and staggered towards the door. On the other side of the door was Sasuke with Hinata and Kiba.

Question marks floated around her head and Hinata smiled and said, "Kiba and I wanted to take care of the twins." With a smile Sakura was about to decline her offer and say she wanted to take a nap, but then Sasuke placed his hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him and said, "It's time to train." Sakura wanted to argue, but they both knew that she needed the training for her first mission after two years. She sighed and went upstairs to change into appropriate attire for training. Once she was done she kissed her sleeping babies good-bye and left them with the newly engaged couple. This wasn't the first time Sakura and Sasuke trained together they actually train every day, but now Sasuke thought it would be better if they trained twice a day morning and afternoon.

They always trained at the team seven grounds. It was a great place for them since it's where it all started. Sakura and Sasuke were talking about Kiara and how she acted towards Sakura. Sasuke wasn't pleased with the news that Naruto was engaged with her. He thought it was idiotic of him to do that especially since she was a bitch to Sakura. Once they entered the area Sasuke hissed, "Speak of the devil" There they were Kiara that guy who no one knows his name yet and then the number one hyperactive knuckle headed ninja. Kiara also had seen Sakura and Sasuke and she then shouted out, "Hey bubblegum! How are you?" Sakura growled at her and she just smirked. Sasuke then looked at the trio and stated, "Excuse me, but we train here so if you do not mind." Naruto began to chuckle, "What is so funny dobe?" Sasuke questioned. Naruto chuckled again and responded," We are training right now teme. Why can't you just train somewhere else?"

"Why don't you?" he replied in an irritated tone. Sakura just stood there watching them argue, but then Kiara decided to piss her off. Kiara strutted towards her and said, "Hey bubblegum why can't you just go besides it is not important anyway since you're worthless." Sakura grinned her teeth and yelled out, "Ok Kiara let's fight right here right now! Whoever wins gets to stay and train." Kiara smirked at her and whispered, "Deal"

Sasuke smirked at the situation as Naruto tensed up. It was quiet, but everyone could hear Sakura's heart beat going faster and faster. The two girls went into fighting position and they waited until the other made the first move. Kiara was never the most patient so she immediately attacked. Sakura couldn't move for what she was able to sense...Demon chakra. She is a demon! Sakura thought as Kiara attacked her with a powerful punch. Naruto lunged forward towards Sakura, but caught himself before he did anything that showed that he still had undying feelings for the pink medic. Sakura fell head first and grunted in pain. Automatically she got up and began to heal her bruised cheek. Kiara began to laugh, "Oh are you ok bubblegum?"

"Stop calling me that!" Sakura shouted as she punched Kiara back. It was the same punch Sakura had given Kiara the first day they met and just like last time Sakura had broken Kiara's nose. Kiara's eyes flooded with pure black demon chakra and changed into her demon form. She still was beautiful, even though she was on all fours and had a long curled tail. Kiara snarled at Sakura and swung her claws at Sakura and cut her cheek open. Sasuke began to not like where the fight was going. He thought it wasn't fair that it was demon against human. Sakura once again fell to the ground, but this time she was too weak to get up. Kiara just began to laugh and howled out, "This is the great super human Sakura Haruno? The great ninja who will never back down, yet here she is lying on the ground helpless." Sakura was surprised that she was so weak right now. Just like old times huh? But this time he won't protect me, Sakura thought as began to get up slowly and placed her hand on her cheek and stopped it from bleeding. She wasn't ready to give up just yet. Naruto was watching her and she didn't want to show him how weak she was. Kiara looked at her and smirked, "Are you really going to continued this in the end you are just going to end up in the hospital."

"Then so be it," stated Sakura as she got back into her fighting stance. Sasuke didn't want Sakura to end up in the hospital so he was about to step in until Naruto placed his hand to stop him. Sasuke grinded his teeth in annoyance and barked at him, "You really want to see Sakura in pain don't you." Naruto's heart jumped right out of his chest at Sasuke's statement. He didn't want to see Sakura in pain, but he thinks that Sakura is just holding back. Now though Naruto is just hoping that she is. Kiara snickered at Sakura and replied to her in a soft tone, "very well." Kiara sprinted towards Sakura and her fist headed towards her face. Sakura dodged her punched then swiftly keened her stomach. Kiara had lost her breath form the attacked and fell backwards. Kiara was now furious at the pink haired medical ninja and whipped her tail through the air and shouted out, "Wind slice!" The wind then gathered together into a blade of pure air and sliced through forest behind Sakura luckily for her she was able to dodge it before it hit her. As she looked back fear struck her entire body. She could have been killed by that! Neither of guys from the audience liked Kiara's action.

"She shouldn't be trying to kill her," Naruto whispered to himself as he looked at his former teammate in fear. Naruto was about to stop the fight until Kiara began to run towards Sakura with a rasengan in the palm of her hands.

"Kiara what the hell are you doing?" Shouted Naruto as Sakura barely turned around to see her death right in front of her. A smiled formed across Sakura's lips as she made a few hand signs and placed her hand palm side up towards the rasengan. The rasengan made contact with Sakura's hand and to everyone's surprise the rasengan sunk into Sakura's skin. Everyone could see the rasengan was filled with tremendous amount of chakra and it restored Sakura's chakra immediately. Sakura clutched her fist and pounded it to the ground. The entire ground collapsed and Kiara fell into the ground with a thud. Everyone was surprised at what had just happened. Sakura was panting at the release of chakra she had and fell on the ground. Sasuke ran towards Sakura as she began to get up slowly. He wrapped his right arm around her shoulder for support, but she swatted his hand away from him.

"No, it isn't over yet." Sakura whimpered as she tried to stand up straight. Sasuke was about to argue with her until Kiara began to get out of the hole she was in. Sasuke growled at her and turned to Sakura, "You are done fighting this demon!" Sakura just shook her head and got her hands up into a fighting position. Sasuke then smirked at his stubborn teammate and sighed in defeat. He gave Sakura a hug and whispered in her ear, "I am leaving before I get into your fight. If you are at your limit either quit the fight or stay strong." Before Sakura could say another word Sasuke vanished into thin air. Kiara's eyes were horde with rage and ambition to destroy Sakura. Her claws grew and Naruto began to panic. He knew exactly what she was going to do.

"Soul Reaper!" she shouted towards Sakura and hit her directly into her chest. Sakura screamed in pain and her scream pierced through the entire village. Blood spilled in one splash and Naruto's body was frozen in fear. She didn't, did she? He was about to walk towards her when Sakura began to get back up. Kiara was shocked at how Sakura could possibly even move after her attack. Everyone gasped at the sight of Sakura's appearance. The attack didn't hit her chest, but slashed on her arm. Her blood was splashed on her face with scratches and bruises all over, but what caught everyone's attention were her eyes of determination. Sakura had this grim smirk on her face that made Naruto sick to the core. He remembers that smirk.

"Sakura…" Naruto whispered as he stared into Sakura's eyes. This was what Sasuke had told her to use when she was at her limit. Now Sakura was at her limit and needed all the help she could get. The two girls charged at each other with full force and might. She was able to figure out each move Kiara made, it was practically predictable now since Kiara was a consistent fighter. Soon the girls were both at their last breath so Kiara decided to use soul reaper one more time. In three seconds this is what had happened. One…Kiara's claw scratched Sakura at her face. Two… Sakura held the pain and grabbed Kiara's arm then crushed it. Three…Sakura's free hand punched Kiara right in the stomach.
