I don't own Naruto

Sakura sighed as she thought back to there fight with Zabuza Momochi. She was setting on the deck of the Tazuna's home, with her companion. She thoughtfully ran her hand over her scorpion. She knew what she had to do.

She waited until everone was asleep. Their Sensei Hatake Kakashi - you can't even really call him a Sensei but still.. - was still out. Naruto and Sasuke were in their room getting ready to sleep, and Tazuna and his family were sleeping as well. Skaura herself was on watch.

With another sigh Sakura makes a shadow clone, then said clon go to were Zabuza was hidding. While she waits patiently for the clone to disband for her to get the memories. After about an hour she regains the memories of her clone.

•_ The Clones Memories _•_

The clone was running towards Zabuza hideout with some information. Once there she snuck into that out. Zabuza was lying down on the bed with his apprentice beside him. She cleared her throat to get their attention. She immediately took to the floor to avoid the kunai, and senbon.

"I'm not here as a threat. I have information I think you would find interesting." The clone said before getting up in a position ready to move again if needed.

"O? And what is that?" Zabuza asked the kunoichi in front of him. Because no genin well walk into a enemy's bass like this.

Relaxing just a little the clone of Sakura spoke. "Gatō well not pay you. He plans to backstab you. He has done this before with many ninjas hired. What makes you think you will be any different?"

Zabuza and his apprentice that there's done for a moment. Zabuza shook himself off first and talk quickly. Before he started to speak. "We well see of what you speak is true. If not then you should expect yourself to be dead."

Nodding the Clone responded. "Of course I will expect nothing less from the demon of the Hidden Mist." And with that the Clone goes to leave before stopping.

"Oh! and one more thing." The clown looks over their shoulder twerks the missing nen.

"Yes?" Zabuza's apprentice asked looking at her with curiosity and his gaze.

"You never saw me." What's the simple response before proofing the clone left out the window.

"Hummm come Haku we have to look into Gatō." Was the last the the clone heard before poofing out of existence with its memories going to its maker.

•_ End of Memories of The Clone _•_

She smiled happily to herself, it worked. Her scorpion moves into her her lap making happy noises. She chuckled happily before petting her scorpion again.

It was the next night that Sakura was sitting outside again, her scorpion was sitting next to her. She watched in the distance as two figures appear protein closer.

Hatake was still out, the boys as well as Tazuna, and his family were asleep already. So she hope they didn't mean any harm she might be strong but, she knew she was nowhere near the level of a S-Rank missing nen.

Zabuza and his apprentice - Who she remembers from her clothes memory being named Haku, - stops about 10 feet away from her and her scorpion.

Zabuza watched her closely before flipping towards scorpion. He seems to hum thoughtfully before he spoke.

"Gatō is dead. You were right he was planning to backstab us. The question is... how did you know that?" Zabuza said, Sakura smiled softly at him before responding.

"I have many adopted parents... One of them give me information, when they heard I was going on this mission. And they told me you said as I see fit. As long as I stay safe that's all they care about." Sakura explain lightly not saying who the parent was.

Zabuza nodded his respect for her growing as she didn't give it too much information just enough to satisfy, but not enough to satisfy. Zabuza know that in time she become someone many will fear, maybe even himself.

He stepped forward a couple of steps super stopping. He reached up, and pulled something off of his neck. Before reaching it out to her. It was a necklace with a miniature version of his sword Kubikiribōchō dangling from it.

"If you ever need my help, this will allow me to find you no matter what." He explained as she gently took it. She looked up at him curious.

Seem to look he explains farther. "You may or may not know but, what you did perfect a life that." He started but stopped at her expression of shock. He chuckled lightly, shaking his head before he continued. "So once you put your chakra into it, it is keyed into you to wear only you can take it off of youself. But if you're under duress, or someone tries to force you take it off it will not come off. It will alert me if you're in danger, and I can find you. And tust me it will only alert me if it's a life and death situation. In certain circumstances if I cannot reach you in time, I will be teleported to you." Zabuza explained as he motioned for her to put it on.

Has intently she puts her chakra into it, and then puts it around her neck. It falls just below her chest. She gives him a shy smile with a slight blush on her cheeks. He chuckles again before ruffling her hair, and stepping back.

"We will be in the area until the bridge is complete, and you're on your way home. Just in case you need us for something." Was the last thing he said before he and his apprentice disappeared.

Sakura looked down towards her scorpion. "Well I have a feeling things are going to be getting quite interesting."

The rest of the mission was a complete success. They're Sensei taught them how to tree walk. That's all he did even Sakura did it in the first try. He didn't try to help her any farther instead, complimented her in a way that was more like an insult to help the boys to get it down faster.

Hatake was on edge waiting for attack that never happened. He did find Gatō dead body without a head, when he went looking. So he just assumed that Zabuza killed him. Zabuza took a lot of he mony but, left quite a bit. Well just a enough money to pay off the rest of the mission, and a little to help the village get back on their feet.

It was the day after the bridge was complete that Sakura woke up from the night sleep, when she realized that the boys were nowhere to be found, and that their packs was completely gone.

In a slight panic she packed all of her stuff. It went downstairs, and found Tazuna. He looked up at her startled.

"W-Were are my teammates?" She asked almost fearful of answer.

"They laft last night... I thought you were with them..." He responded in shock. Looking at the girl's shocked face that morphed into upset and anger. He felt horrible he should have realized she wasn't with them.

She shook her self, and tried to calm down. When she did she started to walk towards the door before stopping.

"I... I should be going I... I know someone who can escort me back to konoha..." Sakura said but before she could leave Tazuna called out.

"At leat eat breakfast, you probably need the energy." Thinking on it she nodded before sitting down.

After breakfast she left with a small thank you towards them for letting her stay for breakfast.

"So Grandpa what are we going to name the bridge...?" The little boy asked looking at his grandpa, he felt bad for the girl so he had an idea about a name.

"I don't know do you have an idea?" Tazuna asked his grandson.

"Yes! What if we name it The Never Forgotten Sakura!" The little boy said to which is grandfather nodded in agreement at the name.

Sakura was running towards where is Zabuza's bass was. When she bumped into someone falling on her butt. She looked up to find the man she was looking for. She had tears in her eyes but she wouldn't let them fall.

"What is wrong little kunoichi?" Zabuza asked know now realizing he didn't know the girls name and her scorpion was on top of her head.

He went out his hand to help her up. He could see the tears she was holding back.

"My team left for home last night leaving me behind..." Sakura responded looking up at him slight hint of hope in her eyes.

He thought for a second before. "Me and Haku with company your home will. We should probably let the Hokage know about me, and my apprentice life det to you."

Sakura looked happy at the idea of them taking her back home so she did have a blush on her face At the mention of the life det.

They made their way back torch konoha. Haku has his White rabbit in his arms, like Sakura did her scorpion. The two of them talking about their pets or companion. Zabuza was walking to her left, well Haku was to her tight.

When they reach the gates of the village they noticed it was in chaos. Sakura know what it was about. She quickly send them in, and made their way towards the Hokage office.
