A/N: Ugh, I am totally dead from karate today. THREE HOURS OF TORTURE! My sensei was feeling evil today. But the good news is, and it might not be so good for you, my katana (sword) came in! BE AFRAID FLAMERS!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was late on a december firday night as Sakura, Hermione and Ginny looked through an old photo album of Hermione, Ron and Harry's first fear. They laughed when they say how young and different they looked. The three girls were all in thier PJ's. Hermione wore a long sleeve flanel shirt and comfy shorts, Ginny wore a soft blue night gown and Sakura wore a yellow middrift pajama shirt and baggy blue plad pants. They had popcorn, candy, and pop, making it a full out slumber party. The other Gryffindor girls were doing the same but in groups and they were doing different things, like playing truth or dare. Music played in the backround, harmonizing with the girl's laughter.

"Look at that! It's when Ron got his tongue stuck to lampost in hogsmade because Seamus dared him!" Hermione giggled, pointing the picture. Ron was blushing like mad and Harry and Seamus stood in the backround making no attempt to hold in thier laughter, or help him for that matter.

"Ow! Paper cut!" One of the girls on then other side of the room shouted, holding her finger. She dropped the letter from her parents that she had attempted to open.

"Oh, let me get that." Sakura said as she got up and walked to the girl. She haised a hand and her hand glowed green as it healed the cut in less than 2 seconds.

"Wow! Thanks Sakura!" The girl exclaimed

"No problem, It's what I'm here for." Sakura smiled as she walked back to her bed.

As she walked back, Hermione and Ginny took a good look at how she had changed over the years. She was a bit taller, and a lot more developed then she was at 12, if you know what I mean *couchboobscough*.

"Dang it Sakura, I'm jealous." Ginny said

"Aw, our baby is growing up." Hermione said in a sing-song voice.

"I'm only two years younger than you, and one younger than Ginny." Sakura muttered and she flopped on the bed.

"You're so much more womanly now! How do guys back where you live keep away?" Hermione asked

"They don't, but that's where the monster strength that made me look like this comes in." Sakura smirked evily.

"I don't know Sasuke stays away." Ginny muttered, thinking about how just four years ago, they were always together.

"Hm?"

"Nothing." Ginny answered quickly.

Sakura stayed silent for a few more minutes while the other girls talked about things that, well, she couldn't tell because she wasn't paying attention. She concentrated on the room around her, trying to bring back any memory to help fill the void. Her eyes drifted to the photo album laying beside her. She sat up and looked over at Hermione.

"Hey, do you have any photos of when my team and I were here?" She asked

"Yeah, I keep a photo album for every year I've been at Hogwarts." Hermione said as she got up and open the drawer in her night table. She paused before she took it out and turned to the young medic."I don't know Sakura, I'm not suppose to tell you this, but Prof. McGonnagle told us that she received a message from your hokage saying that we should let you remember on your own. That if you force yourself, it could damage your mind." she said solumly.

Sakura sat shocked. Tsunade never told her any of that before they left. How could she? She deserved to know, maybe she could have figured a way around it. But know that she thought about it, it made sense. Why else wouldn't anyone have told them? She would have to ask Tsunade about it in the next report, but for now, she didn't care. She was too desperate to find out about that missing block of time.

"Please Hermione. I won't look at all of them right now. I'll take it slowly." Sakura pleaded.

"Okay." Hermione gave in. She leaned over and again she opened the drawer, taking out the photo album. She handed it to the Pink hairred girl.

Sakura took it graciously. She exaimined the cover. It was brown leather with darker brown string in criss-cross patterns. In the middle was a picture pasted on and a label underneath that said "Hogwarts: Year 4. With Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto". The six of them were all linked arms. The first thing she noticed was the she was linked to Sasuke and was leaning the slightest bit toward him, and he was smirking a bit more than usual. She simply shook it off. There could have been any reason why that was. And what frustrated her the most was that once again, anything to do with her and Sasuke wouldn't come back. Maybe it was because the memory in with picture wasn't strong enough. So, she decided that one more picture wouldn't hurt. She carefully turned the page when..

BOOM!

The girls all let out a yelp. Sakura stood up.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto called as he came running into the dorm room. He stopped when he saw a very pissed off Kunoichi, followed by the witches.

"NARUTO! GET OUT OF THE GIRLS ROOM!" She screamed as she punched him in the gut, sending him down the stairs.
Naruto fell head first down the stairs and landed at the feet on Sasuke. He grinned up at the Uchiha. Sakura came down a few seconds later. When she saw Sasuke at the foot and remebered that she was only wearring a middrift, she blushed the tiniest bit, but then straitened up.

"What's going on?" Sakura asked

"Attack on the west side. Let's go." Sasuke said as Naruto got up.

"Wait! I'm only wearing a-" Sakura was about to make a point about how middrifts + snow = bad, but the boys had already jumped out the window, startling a the students. Escpecially the girls who had developped crushes on the two boys. Sakura sighed and grabbed a cloak, much like the one she wore on the mission in the land of cnow, and jumped out the window, startling the boys who had also developped crushes on her.

XXXXXXXXXX

Sakura soon caught up with the boys and they soon arived on the west end of the grounds. The team was met with a black cloaked figure, it's face hidden in the dark shadows. Behind them was an army of Mountain trolls, ogers and other unidentified creatures

They all took out thier weapons, Sasuke his chidori sword, Naruto his kunai, Sakura her gloves and they charged in at lightening speed.

Sasuke Quickly swept through, cutting down anything that got in his way with ease. He flipped over the club of one troll and while upside down, blew a ball of fire in it's face. And he didn't even use his Sharingan yet. Naruto had already summoned his clones and they were all fighting the group of ogers. Dumb as any creatures they were, they didn't even realized the spinning ball of chakra blowing the lot of them away and into the forest, unconcious and most probably dead. Sakura was using her strength to take out one at a time, and when they got too close, she hit the ground, making them fall into the crater of broken earth. She then used an earth jutsu to close the crater and trap them.

Soon enough, they had taken out all of the traitorous creatures. It was only then that they realized that the back cloaked man had disapeared. They all whirled around simutaniously to see it behind them, in front of the forest facing the school so the shadows still hid it's face.

"What the..." Sasuke whispered as he activated his sharingan.

"What is it teme?" Naruto asked

Sasuke growled and set a death glare on the man. "You..." he snarled

"Hm hm, very good." Said the one who looked like the leader. A gloved hand reached up and pulled off his cloak. "You're a sharp one." A boy with black shaggy hair and golden eyes with slits and black dots was revealed.

Sakura stood shocked, and a little scared. It was that boy, Mortel Lovord, who cause her all that pain. Sasuke quickly stepped in front of the paralized Sakura out of impulse. A purple snake crawled out of Mortel's cloak, slithering around his neck and then down to the arm he held out in front of him.

"You know, you guys are becoming a pain in my master's side. And at the same time, he is interiged by your powers. So, I've been sent to meerly..." He exaimined the snake on his arm. "revive them within you." He ginned smugly. The snake on his arm leapped off and lunged toward Sasuke so quickly that he was bearly able grab the still stunned Sakura and jump out of the way. But the thing is, when he moved, the snake moved off its course and followed him. At the last second, Sasuke realized that it was attached to a chakra thread, being controled by Mortel. The snake plunged it's teeth into Sasuke's nek, right where Orochimaru has bitten him for his curse mark.

He yelped out in pain and grabbed his neck, almost like he was trying to pulled the curse mark off and take off the pain with it. He screamed out. Sakura immediatly snapped out of it upon hearing Sasuke in pain.

"Sasuke!" She knelt down beside him, trying to calm him down. It wasn't long before he fell onconious on her lap, just like in the chunin exams. The siering pain shot through her right arm again and she winced. She looked up to glare at the boy.

"What's going to be Sakura-CHAN? Fight me, the one who has been causing all this pain. Or save your precious Sasuke-kun?" He asked venemonsly. As soon as he finished that sentence, the snake bite started to bleed heavily. Sakura gasped and tried to start healing it, but a small trickle of blood ran down her arm from her scar.

"Sakura! Take Sasuke and get him to the hospital. ALert Dumbledore. I'll take care of him." Naruto commanded.

Sakura didn't like the idea of leaving Naruto with this guy, but Sasuke needed medical attention and if she didn't leave, so would she. Besides, Naruto could handle himself, he's survived through worse. She put Sasuke's arm around her shoulder and out her arm around his waist and lifted him off the ground. She nodded to Naruto, and ran off toward the hospital wing, praying he would be alright.

As soon as Sakura was out of sight, Naruto turned back to Mortel. "How dare you hurt my friends." He growled in anger.

"Oh, if you feel left out, you can join them soon enough." Mortel replied smugly.

Naruto stayed undetered. His eyes started to turn a blood red as his anger rised. As much as he tried to force the fire inside him down, it kept creeping into his veins, swirling around his body.

"No, no, no! I don't need the Fox's power to protect my precious ones. I will do it with my own power!" Naruto screamed in his mind as he remebered what Yamato had told him. But it was no use, the fire kept on burning. Something caught his eye. Something tiny, tied to a cord around Mortel's neck. It looked like a redish-pink crystal, and what ever it was, he was pumping chakra into it to make it stronger.

"Pheldolfrous! OH SH-"

"Come on fox! Show me your power!" Mortel shouted at him.

Naruto went down on four legs as three tails started to form in red chakra. The effect of the stone was multiplied, giving Naruto no control over his body. All he wanted now was blood, ripping, destruction,

DESTROY!!!!

Three tail Naruto lunged at Mortel with a clawed hand reaching out at his face. But before he could make contact, a loud cry was heard.

"Hokage style, Elder jutsu! Kakuan's Tenth Edict on Enlightenment!" Naruto was hit by someone's open hand with connected him to a chakra stream. The Kyuubi's chakra soon bubbled away and was sent back into his body. He collapsed onto his knees, panting and trying to fight the affects of the Pheldolfrous that was still trying to bring out his demon. He weakly looked up, into the eyes that can scare him beyond repair.

"Y-yamato-tichou?" He asked

The former Anub just nodded and continued to keep Naruto at bay. Naruto looked up just in time to see a large puff of smoke. Out of the haze came two ninjas. The one of the bird that looked like it was made of ink and swooped at Mortel, sending a few Kunai at him. The other jumped from the crowd with lightening in hand and charged at the mysterious boy. Mortel moved out of the way, but the attack just managed to destroy the necklace and cut through his arm. He screamed in pain, glaring at the ninja before saying something incoherent and dashing off into the forest. The ninja on the bird dispelled it and walked toward Naruto. Now that the crystal was destoryed, he wasn't affected and slowly started to stand.

"Sai?" Naruto asked as he struggled to his feet.

"No, it's Santa Claus, Dickless." Sai said sarcasticaly.

Naruto meraculasly shot up and pointed a finger at the sasuke-look-a-like. "OI!" He couldn't seemed to finish his sentence when he saw a certain silver hairred sensei walk toward him.

"KAKASHI-SENSIE!?!?" Naruto shouted.

"Yo." Kakashi waved.

"But I- And we- You just- WHAT THE F-"

"I'll explain later. First, where are Sasuke and Sakura?" Kakashi asked

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

"DAMMIT SASUKE STOP BLEEDING!" Sakura screamed as she shoved another blood pill into the unconcious Uchiha's mouth. She was currently working on him in the hospital wing with the help of the med-wicthes. She had been working on healing the wound and resealing the curse for an hour, and if anything, the bleeding's gotten worse. Her hands, arms and clothes were covering in the ruby liquid, along with Sasuke's clothes and the once white bedsheets. If she wasn't able to stop it soon Sasuke would.....

FLASHBACK

Sakura quickly ran through the streets of Konoha, looking for her masked sensei. It had been about a month since Naruto had left and, once again bored out of her mind becuase she had no training or missions for the week, she decided to look through some of her clan's history scrolls. After some reading, she decided that it was time to get a better harnes on her powers. The power was rare in the Haruno clan of today, and she was the only one who currently possesed it, so no one in her clan could teach her. That left only one person who could possible have a clue.

"Kakashi-sensei!" She exclaimed when she saw him coming up the street.

"Hm? Oh, hey Sakura." Kakashi greeted.

"Sensei, do you remember what you did when you use to train with Rin to help her Life jutsu?" Sakura asked

"I think I remember. Why?" He asked

"I need help with my jutsu. I think it could really help in my medical training." Sakura said

"Well then, I've got a lot of missions coming up, so when I'm not gone, I'll try to help you okay?"

"Thank you sensei!"

END

Thinking back on her training, she remembered a jutsu that might do the trick, but it would take a lot of chakra. She closed her eyes and concentrated on making her life chakra so dense that it could be solid, now melt it. She shot it through her hand and it waved over Sasuke's cruse mark like a ripple in a stream. Sure enough, the wound healed instantly. The med-nin, collapsed of chakra exasution and fell onto Sasuke's bed, unconciously curling up beside him.

It wasn't five seconds later that Naruto, Yamato, Kakashi and Sai came running in. Naruto goggled, Kakashi smirked under his mask, and Yamato and Sai were just plain confused. Kakashi walked over to the bed and examined the two, lifting his headband to reveal his sharingan eye.

"Her chakra is very low. And he's lost a lot of blood. They're probably gonna be out for a while." Kakashi said

Yamato took a step forward. "So does that mean-"

"Yeah, We'll wait until they wake up to give it to them."

"Huh? What? Give what?" Naruto asked

The original Team 7 stood in a snow covered clearing in the forest, the shrieking shack stood in the distance. Sai and Yamato were taking thier responsibilities while they were out. Kakashi stood before his students, studying how they had grown over the years.

"So what's going on sensei?" Sakura decided to speak up.

"What's going on is...." He took out three small glass tubes. "I have the cure to your memory lose."
