Chapter.1. Rude awakening.

Her breathing was labored, she couldn't remember how long she had been running for, all she knew was that she had to reach Konoha and fast. Her sight was blurred, as pain shot through her broken and beaten body. She was losing blood and fast. She knew he was just toying with her, making her think she could get away, when in reality, he was just a few yards behind her, not even breaking a sweat. She could hear her heart pounding in her ear's as the only thing keeping her going was fear and adrenaline.

Fear ripped her hope of reaching the gates of Konoha, only 50 feet in front of her, when a strong force sent her flying into a tree, sending a broken branch through her shoulder, tearing a scream from her blood covered lips.

"Did you actually think you could escape?" a deep, sensual voice said into her ear, as tears streamed down her colorless face. Her vision blurred going in and out, as blood loss started to make her blackout. The last thing she remembered before succumbing to the darkness was the voices of the people she cared for, and the retreating face of the boy she was once in love with.

Sasuke. Uchiha.

All she could she was white and at that point her only thought was `Am I dead?', which was soon disregarded when she heard hushed voice's coming from both sides of her. Opening her eyes, she let out a pained groan from the brightness, before her vision cleared, and realized she was in one of Konoha's hospital room's. There with her was Kakashi, Tsunade, Naruto and Ino. She tried to sit up only to be stopped by both Kakashi and the sheer pain that shot through her whole body.

".get away?" She asked her voice hoarse from not being used. At that everyone in the room looked away from her and not meeting her eyes, which in turn gave her, her answer.

"I'm sorry Sakura, but he got away before we could reach the both of you." Kakashi said as he squeezed her hand in comfort. She only nodded her head, to scared to even talk. Slowly tears ran down her face, before she said something that shocked them all.

"I'll kill him for what he's done. Mark my words." Her voice dripped with venom, her eyes at that moment darkened, losing their old color that they held. This caused Naruto to back away from her; she would no longer be their precious Sakura ever again. And that thought scared him more than her emotionless eye's.

Two month's passed since her mission to Otogakure, and everyone who knew Sakura all agreed that she had changed, drastically. Her hair was now a deep red, and her eyes were now dark purple. They were cold and no longer held that warm, caring that they once did. She trained endlessly since she was discharged from the hospital, she rarely talked to anyone and never once did she speak of her mission. Only Tsunade and Kakashi knew that she suffered from insomnia, caused from the memories.

Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, Akumaru and Neji walked towards the training grounds. They planned on having a huge sparring match between them, not long ago they all became really good friends always having lunch and sparring together. When they reached the training grounds they all stopped and watched the deadly dance in front of them. Sakura was training with a large sword, her movements soft yet precise and deadly as she did her dance.

She had asked Hayate to teach her how to use a sword when she got out of the hospital, and he was quite happy to show her. Everyone was shocked when Sakura showed up to his little brother's funeral and laid a single black, red tipped rose on his grave. She respected the sword a whole lot more now that he was done teaching her all that he knew, and had made a silent promise to master the art, just like he did. As she continued her dance, they boy's noticed that each swing and each thrust became more fluent, more deadly and more graceful, as her movements became more unseable and they all began to envy her.

When she finished she sheathed her sword, her breathing was barley labored and she hadn't even broken a sweat. Now, she wanted to spar, not wanting to come down from this never ending high that she was on, her train of thought was interrupted when she heard clapping, she swiftly turned her head to see her four spectators.

"That was amazing Sakura." Naruto said as the four of them approached her.

"Hn, what are you guys doing here?" she asked, her voice held no emotion as she looked over the four of them, before petting Akumaru, who had started nudging her hand looking for attention.

"We came to spar, care to join us?" Kiba asked as he attentively watched he scratch behind Akumaru's ears, making his tail wag from the attention.

"Why not, I could use a good spar." She replied as she patted Akumaru's head one last time. The larger then normal dog whined at the loss of affection, but obediently went back to his master's side.

"Great, I call Kiba and Akumaru, why don't you, Shikamaru and Neji pair up and it can be three on three." Naruto said as he looked at everyone. All of them nodded, agreeing with the terms. All of them got to their respective side of the field, and Sakura began the spar, her lip's pulled into a deadly grin as she punched the ground with a chakra enhanced fist, but instead of just an instant fissure, she channeled the chakra straight under Naruto, Kiba and Akumaru before letting the chakra allow a large crater to form. Their eyes widened in fear as they began to realize the power that she had gained, and at not knowing what else she gained.

Three hours after the start of their sparring match, an ANBU member arrived at the grounds to inform Naruto, Shikamaru, Neji, and Kiba that the Hokage had wished to see them, thus bringing their spar to an end. Once they left, Sakura decided to go and get lunch before heading home and taking a shower.

Once she reached her destination, she sat down and ordered green tea and Dango. While she waited for her order, her old friend came and sat down.

"Hey fore-head, what's up?" Ino said, as the waitress returned with Sakura's order, and left to retrieve Ino's.

"What do you want Ino?" Sakura said in a deep, deadly voice, before eating her Dango. Ino was taken back by how cold Sakura was with her, since she returned from her mission.

"I just wanted to talk. Hey so did you find Sasuke- Kun on your mission? I mean everyone knows your still in love with him." At that, moment, when she pulled her sword out of its sheath, Kakashi had chosen to walk in and when he saw her draw her blade he quickly went to assessed the situation. He appeared just as she brought the blade in a down ward thrust intent on killing the blond, and blocked it with a kunai. Ino who sat frozen, began to cry as she finally comprehended the fact that Sakura almost killed her.

Lowering her sword, Sakura answered in the most evil, hate filled voice either shinobi had ever heard her speak.

"Don't ever say that I love that snake again, or next time Kakashi won't be here to save your sorry ass, you naive, immature bitch." Sakura said, her eyes grew even darker and at that moment, Kakashi laid the money on the table before grabbing her by the arm and left a petrified Ino, to stare at a cloud of grey smoke where they once stood.
