I forgot the disclaimer!! Here it is. I do not own Naruto or any of its characters

The clash of swords, the clash of worlds, the clash of us shinobi, and the scent of blood. This is all familiar to me, after he left, my world was filled to the brim with violence. My green eyes were dull, my heart was torn, and my world, full of scorn. It is his fault for making me like this. But it is my fault for foolishly loving him like I did and still do. I hate him, I love him…these feelings, I cannot hope to decipher. For now, I will live for my duty, my duty as the strongest kunoichi of Konoha. My duty as apprentice to Godaime. And my RIGHT as the Blood Blossom of Konoha.

Her hair shone like the brightest star (its pink though, weird), bound back in a tight ponytail. Her ANBU wolf mask hid her stoic face and her dull, unfeeling emerald eyes. She wore standard Leaf ANBU armor, but on her back were two unusual weapons for females. A Demon Wind Shuriken (used by Sasuke) was folded and strapped to her back. And an unusual katana was strapped sideways. It was not long like a katana, nor was it short like a dagger, it was somewhere in between. It's hilt was crimson and the sheathe was a strange gleaming silver. Engraved on the hilt, was a silver cherry blossom. Engraved on the sheathe, were the words, "Retrieve the Lost Heart". It was given to her by none other than Hatake Kakashi, her old sensei and friend.

Haruno Sakura was her name, and killing was her game. She wasn't captain of ANBU ( I don't know what else to call it), but she was good none the less. Her perfect chakra control was unmatchable. Her heart, unattainable even to the greatest man. She was feared and trusted. Yet, many of those close to her knew she was suffering. No one had hurt her more than a certain Uchiha, no one held her heart but that Uchiha. But she claimed she had let go of that, and I quote, "Cold-hearted, son of a bitch, bastard".

This is the Haruno Sakura everyone knew, and accepted.

"Haruno, we are close, keep your guard up and stand to position," the little earpiece barked. The speaker was none other than, Hyuuga Neji, the leader of the mission. Their mission: Hunt down S-class criminal, Himori Kyuu, a smuggler and traitor to the Leaf. He had been secretly giving information to Orochimaru about Konoha, but was stupid enough to not even bother hiding his tracks. They were to bring him back alive for interrogation. Godaime had said that he might know the whereabouts of Orochimaru and Uchiha Sasuke. Sakura had not reacted to the news, she had not even felt anything.

The earpiece once again crackled, "Ugly, get ready," that was Sai, the "replacement" of Sasuke for Team 7. He looked remarkably similar to the previous Uchiha, but completely different personality. "You too, Dickless," Sakura smiled a little behind her mask when she heard who Sai was referring to. Her hyper-active, future Rokuaime, ramen-obsessive and her almost brother, Uzumaki Naruto. "Oi, Teme!! Stop calling me that!!! I do so have a dick!" Sakura almost laughed out loud at the comment but held it in.

A low whine sounded from behind her, and she glanced back at her beloved friend, her wolf. She had found him injured horribly in the mountains, after she healed him, he had relentlessly followed her. She was actually surprised that the wolf was like a shinobi inu. Its sleek, black head was marred by a scar across his left eye, but beautiful none the less. His right ear was torn and had a silver earring on it. Around his neck, was a Konoha forehead protector, he had earned it. His amazing silver eyes always shined like the moon. At the center of his forehead, was a cresent moon with dazzling silver fur. One of his paws was a strange snow white fur. His name was Getsuei(moon). He ran up to her and stood by her side, the image was amazing. Back to the mission.

Himori Kyuu was not a skilled shinobi, but the shinobi he had hired to act as bodyguards were "troublesome" as Shikamaru would say. They were from the Sound (surprise surprise), skilled ANBU, if they were worthy enough to bear that title, which they were NOT. They were gaining on him, but it might have been a trap. Naruto didn't really care, "So what if there are traps, we'll just bust through them. No Sound shinobi traps will ever defeat the future Rokuaime!!" Just after saying that, Naruto had yelped and was hanging upside down on a tree. He had always fallen for that.

Suddenly, they entered a wide clearing. The Sound shinobi were prepared and ready for the Leaf ANBU, and Himori Kyuu was no where to be seen. Sakura whistled fro Getsuei, silently telling him to find the target. Getsuei barked in understanding and sprang away, unnoticed. And so it began. "These are the Leaf ANBU? How pathetic!!" a Sound sneered. All of the ANBU remain stoic, except for Naruto of course. "What did you call us?!!" and Naruto sprang into action. Luckily he was stopped by Sakura's heel in face/mask. "Stay still baka!!" While Naruto seethed, Neji was deciding to kill or not, in truth they could just leave Sakura there to kill the Sound, but it didn't feel right. There were 10 Sound, all of them at least were Jounin level. There were 4 Leaf, Naruto, Sakura, himself, and another ANBU he did not know, all ANBU.

"Where is Himori Kyuu?" Neji's cold voice cuts through many minds. The Sound stay oddly silent. They seem to be waiting for someone, someone to arrive. Someone to kill. Sakura grabs her Demon Wind Shuriken and smiles behind her mask. Slowly, she unfolds the weapon, the Sound take a defensive stance. And in a second, blood is spilled. Sakura looked sickly beautiful in the spray of blood. Her hair blew to the side, the blood framing her masked face, and so it begun.

Throwing her shuriken, she howls her battle cry and her teammates yell their soon to be victory. The enemy shrinks to the side as they watch, mesmerized at the female ANBU and her intricate dance of death, Demon Wind Shuriken by her side. But suddenly she stops. She unsheathes her katana, she whispers "Senbonzakura". The blade bursts into many cherry blossoms, glinting in the setting sun.

The sound shinobi coward in fear at the ANBU. Her long pink hair swaying in the breeze, glinting blossoms surrounding her. The blossoms suddenly move, fast as lightning toward the unaware shinobi. And suddenly, the clearing is drenched in blood.

The blade reforms into her waiting hand, her teammates staring calmly at the scene, use to the mass destruction their female teammate. A howl is heard as the ANBU bound into the dense forest, jumping from tree to tree, four blurs moving in synch with each other.
