Due to computer and family problems I haven't been on fanfiction in like 2 months so of course I haven't updated. So now I am!!!! LOL Also I think that even though I know a lot of the phrases written here in Japanese, I'm just going to write in English.

Sakura's eyes began to flutter. Her mind wasn't focusing on anything, and her body wasn't listening to anything. She knew she had to get out of this situation.

 

`No…I…have to get out…I… can't… I…need help!!!!'

 

Suddenly Sakura's head began throbbing. She shoved Sasuke away. Her eyes began to widen and her pupils dilated. She started to walk back and bumped into a tree. She collapsed and began hugging herself while shaking.

 

“Sakura?” Sasuke began walking towards her.

 

“…Don't come any closer.” Sakura whispered. “Get away from me.”

 

“What are you...?” Sasuke was silenced as he saw Sakura begin to scream.

 

Sakura felt her curse seal burning. Soon she felt the marks begin to spread. It stopped after reaching her face. She was breathing hard. She slowly stood up and took out a kunai.

 

“Sakura?” Sasuke couldn't believe that Sakura had a curse mark. Along with the marks her appearance had changed as well. Her pink hair turned a dark scarlet color and grew until it reached the floor while her green eyes turned black.

 

She threw the kunai at Sasuke. It snagged his shirt and pinned him to a tree. She then took out another kunai and stabbed her neck where the curse mark was.

 

Instantly the curse marks receded and she returned to normal. Her wound began to bleed heavily, however she ignored it. Instead she walked toward Sasuke.

 

“Don't ever come near me again. Do it and I'll kill you.” Sakura then began to melt into the ground.

 

“Sakura wait!!!!”

 

“You have already interrupted my work. You have wasted my time. You, Uchiha, are annoying.”

 

Sasuke froze and tried to yell, but she had already vanished.

“Hey Naruto-san. Do you think you could help me with this?”

 

“What-What happened, Haruka chan?” Naruto had bumped into Haruka, a bruised and bloody one. However what surprised him most was the person on her back. There was an unconscious Hinata just as bruised, but a bit less bloody.

 

“It was the mission, anyways, we need to get Hinata san to the hospital.”

 

“OF COURSE!!!!” With that they sped away.

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

“Hinata has been stabilized. She has suffered an extreme amount of blood loss, as has Haruka, in fact, I'm surprised she even had the strength to stand up, let alone run back here with Hinata on her back.” Tsunade told Naruto.

 

“So they'll be alright right?”

 

“Yes.” Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly the door behind the opened and there stood Haruka.

 

“Thank you for taking care of me, I'll be leaving now.”

 

“Wait a second. You should be resting.”

 

“No, I'm fine! Don't worry!” Haruka cut Tsunade off. “Anyways, I have something I need to do.”

 

*sigh* “That girl is crazy.”

 

“Yeah, but I'm happy to have her here. She's nice. She, kind of reminds me of Sakura chan.”

 

“Naruto,” Tsunade sighed again. “Please stop.”

 

“Yeah, sorry. I'm going to go find Haruka chan.”

 

Flashback: soon after the first encounter with Sakura when she joined Orochimaru

 

A few jounins had been out drinking and were walking around harassing people. Then a girl walked up to them.

 

“You need to leave people alone if you are drunk.” The stranger said.

 

“Whaaaat? You tryna pick a fight little girrrrl?” One of the men slurred out.

 

“No, but I'm ready to fight if you are.” The girl took off her cloak revealing long forest green hair and pinkish red eyes.

 

One of the men swung an arm, but she caught is and used her other hand to punch him in the gut and then pushing pressure points to make him faint. She did this with the rest of the men, taking them out in mere minutes.

 

Naruto had just walked out of Ichiraku to witness the scene unfold.

 

“Wow! That was great!!! Sugoi!!!” Naruto exclaimed. “Who are you by the way? I am Uzumaki Naruto!”

 

“…Haruka…”

 

“Haruka? What's your last name?”

 

“I-I don't remember…”

 

“Do you have amnesia or something?”

 

“Yeah, I think so.” `It never ceases to amaze me how dense Naruto can be, or trusting.' Haruka thought.

 

“Well then, let's go to the Hokage's Tower!”

 

Haruka froze.

 

“Why?” She whispered.

 

“To sign you up to be a citizen, no, shinobi of Konoha!”

 

Haruka sighed a breath of relief.

 

“Okay.”

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

Haruka could feel the genjutsu surrounding her slip slightly. She had to find her fast.

 

Haruka walked into the forest just outside of Konoha. she looked around and heightened her senses to make sure no one was around. when she was sure, she leapt up to a nearby tree, all the way to the top branch. She then focused her mind and called out in her mind.

 

`Hey. Are you there?'

 

`…Yeah…' The voice gasped out. `Can you get me some water and some medical supplies?'

 

`What happened?'

 

`I'll tell you later. I'll be at the spot by the time you get back.'

 

Haruka then ran back to Konoha. She put chakra into her feet to increase her speed. she then went into the hospital to get what she needed.

 

Naruto had been chasing Haruka when he bumped into Sasuke.

 

“You finally back from your mission?”

 

“hn.”

 

“Is that all you ever say??? Wait a minute, wasn't your mission to escort someone here? Where is he?” Naruto began looking around for a person.

 

“Not here.” Suddenly he saw a flash of pink through the corner of his eyes. when he turned, all he saw was Haruka and a bag full of medical supplies. He looked at her again and saw another flash of pink hair, but when he looked again, all he saw was Haruka's green hair.

 

“Oh! Haruka chan!!!!! Where are you running off to?” Naruto yelled. But Haruka was too worried to hear his voice. she could feel it slipping even more and she had to get out of town before someone saw her, the real her.

 

Sasuke frowned.

 

“Oi, dobe, let's go.”

 

“Huh? Go where?”

 

“To follow Haruka. There's something weird about her. I can feel it. It's like she's under a genjutsu or something, but normally people in genjutsus are unconscious, not running around.”

 

“…Sasuke, are you saying we should stalk her???”

 

Bam

 

“No, dobe, stop being stupid. She's getting away, hurry up.

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

Haruka ran up back to the top branch she was at and there sat the person controlling her genjutsu. Then she felt it slip and her green hair reverted to pink and her redish eyes turned green.

 

“What happened to you?”

 

“…Shut up…”

 

“God, real me, you are so stubborn.”

 

“You are supposed to be my Bunshin, but you have a different personality, strange.”

 

“Well I'm not supposed to look like your bunshin, I'm supposed to look like Haruka.”

 

“Who? Oh that name we made up for you? so you could spy on Konoha for me?”

 

“Duh. How could you forget?”

 

“Sorry, I'm just kind of out of it.”

 

“And weak by the looks of it. I need you to gain back some chakra so you can put back the genjutsu on me.”

 

“Yeah, yeah, wait a second.”

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

“I heard her voice over this way!” Naruto yelled and pointed up to the top of a tree.

 

“Why would she be up there?”

 

“Sight seeing?”

 

“With medic supplies?”

 

“Maybe she's taking care of a squirrel who got hurt or something.” Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

 

“Then she won't mind if we go check up on her.”

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

“Shit!” Haruka exclaimed.

 

“What?”

 

“I hear people and sense them coming up here now.”

 

“What? Didn't you hide your chakra?”

 

“Yeah, but since we were yelling at each other so loudly, they probably heard us!!”

 

“Whatever, hurry up and get rid of them!”

 

“Yeah, whatever! Just hide!” Haruka exclaimed.

 

While Haruka was clearing up the supplies, the other person used a jutsu to sink into the tree trunk, and just before she vanished, she replaced the genjutsu on Haruka.

 

“Hey! It's Haruka chan!!!”

 

“Naruto san?”

 

“What are you doing up here?”

 

“Sight seeing.” Haruka answered quickly.

 

“With medic supplies?” A cool vpoice asked right behind Naruto.

 

“Sasuke san? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on a mission?”

 

“I finished.” Sasuke said with a frown. “So where are all those medic supplies? Did you just throw them away?”

 

“No! Of course not! I was just giving them to-” Haruka stopped herself, and could feel the person in the tree mentally kicking her.

 

“A SQUIRREL!” She answered a bit too loudly. “Yeah, there was a squirrel I found up here when I was sight seeing and it was injured so I got it some medical supplies to…fix it!” Haruka laughed. (So not suspicious… -.-)

 

“See I told you Sasuke teme!” Naruto yelled.

 

Sasuke walked up to Haruka and picked up some hair and looked at it.

 

“Something wrong?” Haruka asked nervously.

 

“hmm.”

 

`Hurry up! I can't hold up your genjutsu and my jutsu conceling me in this tree for much longer! You saw how weak I was! I'm short of chakra!'

 

Haruka knew she had to do something.

 

“Well, I kind of have to go do something.” Haruka began.

 

“What's that?” Naruto questioned.

 

“Uh… Well, let's just say girl stuff, so if you don't mind…” Haruka performed some seals and appeared a couple yards from where she was. She then waited for the boys to leave.

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

`ugh… I can't hold up much longer in this tree, I'm almost out of chakra.'

 

“Okay well, I have to go report to the Hokage. See you.” And with that, Sasuke vanished.

 

`Shit.'

 

Suddenly Naruto felt a presence behind him. He looked back and saw a blob of pink coming out of the tree.

 

“AHHHHH! WHAT THE FUCK?” Naruto screamed. But as the figure came out completely he gasped.

 

“Sakura chan?”

 

Both girls flinched.

 

`Shit.'

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

 

I don't like you people. You never comment, so I'm going to turn emo and go cry in a corner.
