"Are you sure, Sakura?"

"Yes."

"Really? I thought you wanted to go home really bad."

"Yes… that was until… I realized that I was happy here…"

"Oh, I see."

Sakura nodded as she held the hand of her new boyfriend, Kevin. Gwen and Ben understood fully when they found out that they were a couple. Actually, they were happy for the two! They just hoped that it wouldn't turn out bad.

Sakura yawned as she stretched. Her hair was EVERYWHERE. It was a funny thing to see. She wiped some of the droll that was on the corner of her mouth and she carefully got up from her bed. Her green eyes were half closed and you could tell she wanted more sleep. She only woke up because she had a weird feeling in her gut.

She then felt a spark of chakra. The girl jumped up and quickly pulled on her hakama and her mask, totally forgetting that her hair was a mess. Once she strapped her mask on tightly she grabbed her Katana that was next to her bed, then running out of her room. She was light on her feet and made no sound as she made her way to Gwen's room. After flipping on the lights she woke Gwen.

"Gwen." She said quietly, "I sense something. I'm sure it's nothing friendly." Gwen rubbed her eyes and nodded. It was way too early for fighting, but it was her job. The teen got ready while Sakura, after memorizing their numbers, dialed Kevin and Bens numbers.

The orange haired teen got dressed and when she was done Sakura got off of the phone. "What did they say, Saku?"

Sakura answered, "They are on their way. They need to get their clothes on. Boys… they should wear more than just boxers." Gwen giggled, but then both went serious. Sakura narrowed her eyes, "He's in the house." Gwen gasped. Her parents could be in danger!

Gwen was about to run out to get her parents, but the Medical Nin stopped her. "Don't go. He's not here for them. He passed up their room."

Gwen's parent's room was downstairs while hers and Sakura's were upstairs.

Both girls turned their heads and noticed a cracked window. As if on que, both had the same idea. They easily opened it and quickly jumped down. Gwen asked, "Is he still following?" Sakura nodded. Just then a blonde haired boy appeared on the ground in front of them. Sakura raised her Katana at him, but then gasped. Blonde hair… blue eyes… whisker marks… Naruto! Sakura tackled him to the ground in a big hug as tears ran down her face, hidden by the mask.

"Naruto! You're back! But how?! I've missed you so much!" Sakura cried into his orange jumpsuit. Something was off, but she was too happy to tell what it was.

The boy grinned a goofy grin and hugged back. "I've missed you too Sakura." His eyes widen. He made a mistake. The Haruno girl jumped away while glaring under her ANBU mask. He tried to cover the mistake. "Sakura-Chan? What's wrong?"

"Yeah, Saku, what's wrong?" Gwen asked her friend with a weird look. "Why would you back away from Naruto? He's like, your best friend I thought."

Sakura growled under her breath, "That's not Naruto. He forgot -Chan and his smile don't match the real Naruto. Plus, this fake Naruto has a weird look to his eyes, a red tint in them."

Gwen glared at the fake, "But, doesn't Naruto have a demon in him? Could it be the Kyuubi thing?" Sakura shook her head. She was positive that this wasn't the real Naruto. Then knowing that he wouldn't get past this smart Konochi, the fake Naruto ran at both girls. Sakura was about to jump away, but then a smoke bomb filled the area around them. They were blinded, but Sakura could use more than just that sense. This guy was light on his feet though…

"Sakura! I can't see you!" Gwen called out.

"Sakura! Gwen!" Two familiar and one new voice called for both girls.

Ben called to the new voice, "Julie! Can Ship see in there?"

The girl shook her head, "No, he's just like us. He won't be able to see unless it goes away."

Sakura ignored them and closed her eyes. She could try to sense this Naruto imposter. 'He's not to the left… right… behind… or up… Then… he must be…' Sakura smirked and opened her eyes. She raised her fist and hit the ground making the ground under her crumble, but then the felt a spark of chakra behind her. She gasped when pain erupted threw her, and then she fell over. She was paralyzed.

The fake Naruto smirked as he walked closer to her. This was not good…

O.e

The smoke began to clear and Kevin started looking around for both girls. Ben easily pointed out Gwen, but Sakura was still missing in the grey smoke. Gwen coughed, but she continued to search for her new friend.

"Sakura!" Gwen called out. Just then she saw a red substance. She felt her heart beat stop. This… is blood… The orange haired girl, full of fear for her friend, followed the blood. Then, when the smoke cleared, she felt tears come to her eyes.

Kevin ran over to the orange haired girl, "Where's Sakur-- No…" Kevin fell to his knees. He crawled closer to the girl lying on the ground with a Katana, not hers' but the fake Naruto's, threw her chest. Kevin blinked back tears as he picked her up and hugged the girl tightly.

"Sakura… come on. Come on, you're not hurt. You can easily heal this." Kevin spoke in a murmur.

Gwen, the new girl Julie, and Ben frowned, but quickly looked around for the Naruto look alike. Nowhere to be seen… Julie looked at a small green and black thing that was whining. The dog like thing barked a sad bard after seeing everyone sad, mad, and much more. Both had joined Ben and Kevin on the way here. She bent down to pet the alien, "Ship, I want you to look for anyone around here that doesn't look normal. Can you do that?" The pet alien barked and transformed into a small toy like air plane to help hide itself better. Such a smart alien. Julie turned her attention back to the couple on the ground.

Sakura smiled weakly at Kevin. Her skin was a deadly pale and blood was on the corners of her mouth. You could tell she was in pain. The boy she was beginning to love more and more everyday was fighting off tears, but some managed to escape. He then looked into her eyes and she looked into his. She carefully raised her hands to touch his check, but before it reached its mark, it fell.

The Konochi everyone loved had fallen.

O.e

A growl escaped the creature's lips as he watched the scene. He was billions of miles away, but he easily watched them from his ship in space. The screen in front of him showed every little detail that happened. "Such stupid ninja's. They think that they can easily get away. That Uchiha brat may have fooled them, but not me. No one can fool me."

"You're right Vilgax, sir."

The said man picked up the little alien who was standing next to him and chucked him at the screen. "We attack now."

There will be more Julie, Ben and Ship moments. Don't worry…
