"sakuraaaaa"

"sakuraaaaaaaa"

"princess"

"our princess"

"come"

"help- help us-"

Sakura tossed and turned on her stiff hospital bed fitfully. A bunch of voices kept plauging her in her dreams.

'go way" she mumbled to herself.

"But Sakura chan I just got here"

"AH!" she screamed, eyes snapping open wide. a smell of ramen drifted up her nose "NARUTO!"

"actually, naruto and me"

Hazily her eyes drifted into focus. She pushed herself up "who? sasuke? and"

Her eyes widened "everyone else"

"OH PRECIOUS FLOWER OF KNOHA" Lee shouted "ON BEHALF OF EVERY ONE IN THE VILAAGE I APOLOGIZE. WE DIDNT MEAN TO KNOCK YOU UNCONCIOUS WE WERE JUST SO -ump"

Sakura stuffed one of her many get well cards into his mouth. "Lee, I get it. Does anyone have a pain reliever? I have got a really big headache all of a sudden and –" her eyes widened dramatically "who is that?"

Everyone whirled around. Sakura quickly created a clone. She lay on top of it uncomfortably.

"whoops- wait there he is again" This time she formed the hand seals and poofed away. she appeared in a small hill some ways away from her over filled room.

She smiled, congratulating herself on thinking that fast. then she looked at her chakra reserves, they were full up from resting for so long. Full she decided time for a self healing session. calmly she lay down on the hill and did all her healing. After she felt slightly tired and closed her eyes.

"SAKURA!" loud voices eminated from the hospital. she popped an eye open. Damn, my clone must have worn off.

"Sakura?" a heavy low voice asked from behind her. A cold sweat broke out on her body. She turned around slowly. Sasuke stood there, looking down at her with heavy dispassionate eyes. Sakura waited for the blush and the stammer to appear. Only deep sadness filled her as she looked into his eyes.

"Your clone, it disappeared about a minute after you left. Idiots, they had left to find a nurse or some headache medicine, what were you doing, running away like that?" His patronizing town irked her. All the memories of being hit again and again by his harsh words and actions. she stood bowing her head. A void swirled through her, she staggered, a sudden pain racing through her body. My heart hurts she wondered. i feel nothing but pain and sadness.

"sakura!" he moved to steady her. She knocked his arms down. Then raised her head

"Don't touch me"

He took a step back "Sakura. you cant stand. it was foolish of you to leave"

Her emerald eyes burned with anger. they suddenly cooled. not even an apology. a sorry sakura just foolish. you are sasuke i was foolish to expect one. a deep fog settled over her heart. an ice casing.

"sakura?"

Sasuke stood there uncertainly. He could handle blushing Sakura, or even yelling and fighting Sakura. But not this Sakura. She stood there, emerald orbs gazing into his coldly, calculative and dispassionate. Offhandedly he wondered if that's what he looked like. He shivered and took a another step back. Her eyes were so cold towards him. but i didnt do anything to her.

"sasuke kun I LOVE YOU, DONT LEAVE"

oh right, well, he'd come back, and he wanted to love her. he did love her already, but that was dangerous, so he had blocked it. did i kill it? did i kill her love? He was so busy pondering this he didn't notice her move. She was bowing to him.

"Forgive Uchihua Sama- for not impressing you, I think you can leave now, having bestowed your humble opinion on me" Her voice was dull and cold, with a biting edge that made sasuke wince inwardly. She whirled around as he reached for her

"Sakura"

Sakura shuddered with anger. How dare he? how DARE he? did he know what he had done to her?

" Dont touch me please Uchihua Sama'

"Sakura, listen I didnt mean to hurt you-"

" I SAID DONT TOUCH ME!" she whirled around screaming at him. And thats when it happened.

BOOMBOOMPOWBOOMBOOMPOW

"HRAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH" sakura screamed at him, bringing her arms over her head. Sasuke could only stare as she stood there. A wave of water burst out of the ground and into the air, following her hands, it hovered there. Sakura instinctively drew her arms back. sasukes eyes bugged out (not that he'd ever admit it)

Sakura pushed forward with her hands, the water followed, barreling into Sasuke as he stood there stupified. He flew backwards, crashing painfully into a tree. Sakura stood there, her body heaving with pants. sasuke lay there on the ground "sakura?" he chocked, all the air out of his body.

she glared a him "Don't' say my name" she hissed "You dont deserve to be back, bastard, if you think you can just waltz in and expect everyone to adore you, your dead wrong. you left us, you betrayed ME! then you came back , I told you I loved you saskue I LOVED YOU! and you left me on a bench, in a town where the majority of its population is MALE! do you know what could have happened to me? and now youre back, well good for you, now , as far as im concerned, you can leave again" her body was swirling with adreline and strengh as she stood there, venting on the Uchihua

She whirled around and stalked off, leaving a stunned Sasuke behind her.

sakura ran through the town rapidly. holy shit holy shit holy shot. she thought i just - i just- holy shit- i just moved water ! and i told sasuke teme off! holy shit im so screwed!

"oof" she bumped into a heavy figure. she raised her eyes. kakashi she sighed, relieved

"sakura? sakura!" he said surprised. then he grabbed her and poofed away. they appeared in the hokages office quickly.

"sakura!" the busty woman cried, grabbing he exhuasted girl in a strangling hug "DONT EVER DO THAT AGAIN!"

"t-tsunade sama" sakura chocked "Im in deep shit"

Tsunade stepped back, and looked at her "why?"

Sakura took a couple of breaths "get me some water" she commanded. she placed her hands in front of her, breathing deeply. How did i do it before? she looked at a glass of water in front of her and inhaled. peace washed over her as she closed her eyes. she raised a hand, the water cured out of the glass and twisted. sakura brought her arm to her, and it followed her, shlupping out of the glass. she opened her eyes . the woman from her sleep floated there. a ghostly reached out and stroked here face "Sakura- princess, welcome back to the world, my name is Maimi and I was your nurse. you must come find us, beware Sakura- it is not easy, will you come?"

"yes" sakura whispered, buoyed up with the calm and joy shefelt swirling through her body, nothing like the tumultuous rush of the anger and hate she had experienced before.

"Beware the Fire, your enemy is closer than you think. Your healer and General have already come, follow, they will lead"

Sakura nodded as Maimi smiled and faded away. She looked to the stunned Hokage, who was staring at Kakashi. Sakura looked down. kakashi knelt there, in respect to sakura

"kakashi sensai?" she asked shakily

kakashi kept his head to the floor "princess sakura, i have been looking for you for many years, i have finally found you, now the three are found, you shall lead us, and we shall free our people"

Sakura stared at the man who had taught her, the man she looked as a father. She heard a rustle of fabric, Tsunade knelt as well "sakura, i will join you, I am the healer, it is a pleasure to finally meet with you"

Sakura could only stare at the two people she respected the most in the world kneeling to her. the only thing she could do was burst into tears "dont do that" she wailed "dont do that"

They stood and wrapped their arms around her "its okay" Tsunade soothed "we'll be okay"

Sakura sniffled at her "really?- then we're equals okay? no kneeling or bowing and no ones going to call me princess right? and you two owe me a HUGE explaination"

then she resumed crying, the only thing her teachers could do was stare at her and at each other . Then they smiled

she'll get through this they thought simultaniusly.
