Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own nothing

The Two twenty-four year olds were alone and barely alive. They were lying together in the rain, one with short pink hair was leaning over the other her hands on his chest. The one with spiky, dark-brown hair sliding out of his ponytail was lying underneath the pink headed girl's glowing hands. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, mixing with the rain as it poured from the heavens. One only had to look a few meters away from the two, to see the reason for her despair.

On the ground 15 bodies were scattered everywhere. In the middle of the blood and gore laid a blonde haired boy, lying next to a dark haired boy; both of them were smiling, even though their bodies had grown cold and still.

Sasuke had said he was sorry, after talking to his reanimated brother. He had come to Naruto's aid, in the fight against Madara and Tobi. They had fought together and won but at a cost , they had both used everything they had to stop the moon plan. Sasuke's eyes had burned out from overuse after he took down Madara, he was completely blind.

Tobi saw him take down Madara, and in the blink of an eye Tobi had his hand threw Sasuke's chest ripping out his heart when he pulled his hand out. Seeing what Tobi had done to his brother, Naruto's eyes went wild and he went at light's speed for Tobi, they each took hit after hit; until both of them were at the breaking point.

Naruto gave them a few seconds to seal Tobi down and Ino and Hinata used the last of their strength to seal him before they fell dead next to the mummified man. Naruto died next to Sasuke grabbing his brother's hand before drifting off into sweet pain free death to be with his brother in the afterlife.

Bodies were littered everywhere around them; Ino had red streaking through her hair unnaturally and pooling beneath her. Dried blood covered her torso and the bandages covering her midriff were no longer white, but a vivid red.

Hinata's long, indigo hair was tangled and caked with blood.

Kiba's tattoos on his face were hard to differentiate from the blood over his face and mouth

Shino's once pristine white coat was covered in mud and blood there were white rock spears pining him to the ground, from one of Tobi's attacks; Choji, Neji and Tenten had also received death from this attack. Tobi sent thousands of white rock spears hurtling towards them they each were covering in blood and white spears.

Their enemies had fallen.

But it was a hollow victory.

Everyone from Konoha 12 was dead, except Sakura and Shikamaru.

"Come on don't leave me you lazy bastard! You're all I have left!'' Sakura screamed her voice hoarse.

She currently had her hands on the chest of one Shikamaru Nara as they faintly glowed green, trying to heal his punctured lung in his chest.

"He killed everyone – everyone I loved. They're all gone; Naruto, Ino, Lee all of them gone because of him… Other than you and me, they're all dead. Everyone's gone; I'm not going to lose you too. Shika… What are we going to do?" she asked, tears streaming freely down her face.

He lifted himself up onto his left elbow and kissed her for all he was worth, trying to calm her. He held her ringed hand and told her,

"We need to get out of the open… I think I can walk over to the trees over there.'' He said shakily. Sakura nodded and grabbed his arm to help him stand.

But as they started to get up a small figure started to rise out of one of the puddles formed on their left.

It was a young beautiful woman covered in deep green cloth with a golden crown made of leaves and twigs.

She quickly said, "Do not be afraid I am the spirit of life and I have seen the hardships and troubles you have faced, and I believe that you deserve a chance to make things right. I shall allow you one wish. What shall it be?"

"Who are you really?" Sakura growled holding her last kunai going in front of Shikamaru protectively.

"I told you I am the spirit of life also known as Kami" she said again patiently

"Yeah right!"

"It is true watch, and with a brush of her hand Sakura's energy returned tenfold. When the woman removed her hand Sakura's exhaustion returned.

Sakura bit her lip, and glanced at Shikamaru, who looked cautious despite his exhaustion. She thought for a moment, before looking back to the woman with a look of guarded hope glinting in her jade eyes.

"To bring everyone back, I want to see all the ones we love alive again." Sakura finally said.

The figure looked to Shikamaru and saw him nodding. It said, "Making this Wish may bring anything; heartbreak, pain, and many others. Do you still wish for this?" She asked.

"Yes." Shikamaru and Sakura said in unison.

The figure started to do hand signs then touched each of their foreheads with her index finger and started to chant in a language they had never heard before, and then…

Everything went black.

Shikamaru's house

Before him lay his friends, dead, blood pooling beneath them and strewn all across the field, so many of his friends had lost their lives in front of his very eyes. Well not everyone was dead; Sakura was still alive. Then I heard him "What are you looking for? Your little wife? I just stuck my katana through her weak little heart. Now I'm going to end your life as well . Don't worry; I'll make it as painful as possible" Tobi said sending his katanta into his eye.

"NOOOOOO!" he screamed.

Shikamaru sat up quickly, panting to catch his breath, he hazily looked around expecting to see bloody corpses, but instead he was baffled to find himself in his old bedroom.

'Wait my old room? How did I get here? Did Sakura bring me back? I've got to see Hokage-sama and find out what's going on.' Shikamaru thought as he leapt out the window of his old bedroom.

He stumbled slightly, and looked at his arms and legs; they were shorter than he remembered. What was going on? Was this a genjutsu of some sort? Release. Nope that's not it still here. Now what's the fastest way to Hokage-sama's base? Wait, what's going on here? And the village is mostly intact. How long have I been out?

Shikamaru looked towards the Hokage monument, and was alarmed to find Tsunade's face was missing. Something was defiantly wrong He racked his brain, trying to think what could be going on? His limbs were noticeably shorter, throwing off his balance. The village was as peaceful as it had been in his Genin days; something he'd prayed for many a apparently wasn't the Hokage yet. Anyone would think he'd been thrown back in time. A chance to fix all the mistakes they'd made in life perhaps? It was an idiots dream.

Then, Shikamaru remembered the supposed 'Kami, life spirit'.

"Wait a second! That woman she said she would grant our wish to see our friends alive again. She must have actually sent us back to the past to see them? Oh man, I've got to find Sakura and see if she remembers out life! "Shikamaru thought, as he ran in the direction he remembered Sakura's parents' house to be. Right now, if he remembered correctly, she'd still be living with them.

Sakura's house

"Come on, don't leave me you lazy bastard! You're all I have left!'' Sakura screamed her voice hoarse.

She currently had her hands on the chest of one Shikamaru Nara. Her hands glowed faintly green as she desperately tried to heal the punctured lung in his chest.

But it wasn't working. What kind of medic-nin was she if she couldn't heal the last person that she had? They were all gone because she wasn't strong enough. She hadn't had enough time and energy to heal them. She was at the bottom of her chakra at the beginning of the battle and was running on adrenaline and charka pills. She felt shikamarus pulse slow and stop. She looked into his dead eyes and her scream ripped through the forest.

"NOOOOOOO!'' she screamed.

She lifted her head expecting it to be lying on the chest of a dead Shikamaru, but instead, it was a pink pillow.

"Wait, what? Where am I?" she wondered, slowly sitting up and looking around. Her old room was as neat and tidy as she remembered it, but instead of her journals and scrolls on medical jutsu given to her by Lady Tsunade, there were hairbrushes, make-up and accessories. Exactly the way it had been when she was 12.

"This is my old room? How did I get here? Where am I" she questioned, her eyes widened in a panic. She remembered where she had been before, and where she was now; it just didn't add up. She remembered specifically, being with Shikamaru before! Where was he!

Sakura got up from her bed, and going towards the window; "I need to goto Lady Tsunade's base. Maybe she or Shizune can tell me what's going on!" Sakura thought as she jumped out the window of her little room.

She was alarmed to find outside her window was kohona in perfect condition, all buildings intact, and everyone seemed to be peacefully going about their daily business. Sakura couldn't figure it out, how did this happen? It was like a miracle or something.

But as she approached base of the Hokage monument, looking up at the row of faces that watched over the village, she realized that her Shisho's face was missing.

What's going on?

It was then that Ino rammed into her.

"Ugh! Watch where you're going forehead! Why did you stop in the middle of the road? Have you finally come to the realization that you can never compare to my beauty, and that Sasuke-kun will fall deeply in love with me? She said with hearts in her eyes

Sakura looked at her it was Ino from when they were genin. She grabbed her into a bone cracking hug and didn't let go for a full minuet. She pulled back and told Ino how much she missed her and asking how she was alive.

"You are weirder than I thought Sakura; maybe that forehead of yours is messing with your brain. I saw you yesterday remember? Ya know Sasuke isn't going to like a crazy person."

"Well in reality Sasuke doesn't like anyone, sanity or not" Sakura smirked back remembering how long it took for Sasuke to realize who his real family was.

"Sakura what's wrong, did something happen?" Ino asked a shock look on her face, she hadn't seen Sakura with such a sad look on her face since they were seven and she had declared that they were rivals for Sasuke.

"Never mind Ino, just never mind," Sakura said as she began to walk away, her brain working overtime to try and find an answer to this odd dimension she was in or whatever thing thing she was in.

Ino started to walk beside her confused about what she had said, but also thinking about how dreamy Sasuke's hair was.

Shikamaru ran up to them, "I need to talk to you" he said slightly out of breath.

"What do you want Shikamaru?" Ino said, rolling her eyes and flipping her blonde ponytail for effect.

"Ino, how are you alive I saw you die" she said grabbing her hads and arms before pulling her into a hug."

"What's the matter with you two? Did something that I didn't know about?" she asked suspicion in her eyes as she put her hands on her hips.

Both Shikamaru and Sakura shared a look communicating with their eyes; he grabbed her hand and ran the other way. Leaving a very confused Ino to walk to school by herself. She wasn't even aware that Shikamaru knew Sakura's name; this morning just kept getting weirder and weirder.
