"Son of a-"
Sakura disdainfully eyed the messy pile of scrolls on her desk. Apparently her shishou (Tsunade) was 'sick' again.
Sighing, she shook her head and shut the door to her office behind her before walking over to the desk. She ripped up the small thank you note on top of the sea of papers without reading it and dug out her chair only to crumple exhaustedly on to it.
Tsunade's excuse was that Sakura, being her apprentice and all, was the only one she trusted enough to even touch the many.. important scrolls. Scrolls that contained the many important facts of crap she needed to read, sign and so on.
Right…
Sakura really knew that she was busy partying with her drinking buddy Shizune (which was the reason why she couldn't do it).
She reached over to grab her first scroll.
This was going to be a long, long day.
Inner Sakura fired up with determination, she could do this!
xXxXxXxXx
She couldn't do this.
It was only three hours into her task that Sakura's twitch grew and (of coarse by accident) calmly as she could, picked up every single scroll and accidentally chucked them into Tsunade's office. Accidentally of course.
Now she could only smile happily beside Naruto as he slurped on with his precious Ramen… As she read another scroll.
Sakura was a naturally bright person, drawn to information, and couldn't help but to grab a couple of the interesting looking jutsu scripts, promising to give them back once she memorized them.
Naruto slammed down his 22nd bowl and grabbed at Sakura's when she wasn't looking (not that she wanted it anymore) and continued at a slower pace.
"Sakura-chaaan, Tsunade-baachan making you read those stupid things again?"
She looked over the huge size of the oddly colored paper with her emerald gemmed eyes, "Their not things, Naruto."
"You're avoiding my question," He gave a silly grin.
"No I'm not!"
"Sakura-chan you work to hard… Maybe next time you should tell her to-"
"Naruto!! How many times did I tell you not to swear?"
He blinked. "How did you know I was going to Sakura??" She could only roll her eyes and resume reading the delicate manuscript.
"Thanks for paying Sakura-chan!!!!" Poof.
'What?' She turned back to the spot he was in, only to find the smoke fading away to show the many bowls.
"Oh.."
Crap.
She didn't even eat! Maybe.. No body would notice if she snuck off too.. Well, Naruto seemed to make it easy looking…
xXxXxXxXx
A couple hours later, Sakura finally made it to a small beautiful clearing and rubbed her raw, aching hands from the many dishes and chores she was given.
The annoying twitch was back on her eye, both of which were furiously glowing in the afternoon light. Silently imagining herself torturing Naruto, she managed to wobble up to her favorite spot beside the lake and collapsed.
"Damn it Naruto..!" Pushing him out of her mind (and almost breaking the range of trees behind her) she attempted to calm herself down and grabbed the last scroll from her bag dumped beside her.
That stupid, stupid stupid-
I soar without wings, I see without eyes.
What the... Sakura blinked, momentarily forgetting her anger.
I've traveled the universe to and fro.
I've conquered the world, yet I've never been anywhere but home.
What am I?
Did she accidentally pick this up? It seemed to be just some weird riddle. Honestly, who would send this to the Hokage? Picking up her pen she decided to complete the riddle anyway.
The answer is-She began to write, the red ink spilling onto the document and dripping down to the grass. Her pen was black. The sent of her blood assaulted her nose and Sakura looked down in shock, willing her hand to stop writing even as it continued.
Your-Sakura's eyes widened as her trembling hand finished off the answer and signed her name at the bottom.
"The answer is your imagination…?" Her head spun dizzily and her eyes flickered, but she willed herself to stay upright. Words began to appear on to the scroll, the fancy cursive letters curling around with her blood.
Although one can never figure out if your imagination is lying to you at times, or showing you the truth. Is it lying now, Sakura?
Sakura's confused mind finally shut itself from the world and she fell over, her hair fallowing and bundling around her shoulders as her eyes slipped shut.xXxXxXxXx
"Sakura-chan!"
Sakura moaned out in disdain, rolling over and continuing with her slumber… Her bed seemed very hard today…
A small sound was made off to her right that sounded very much like one of Kakashi's giggles and she minutely wondered what he was doing in her room before her bleary eyes snapped open in realization and she jerked upwards…
Only to painfully connect her head with Sasuke's.
"Owww!" The darkhaired teen winced, landing harshly on the ground and rubbed at the delicate area on his head, trying his hardest to conceal the pain on his face.
Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke turned back to Sakura who was now propped up on her elbows and staring with a blank expression on her pale face, all expecting her to jump up and fuss about Sasuke-kun and all…
…She did nothing but stare.
'Sasuke..? But… Orochimaru… Why do they all look so young?' They all looked back like when they were still genin.. Still just Team 7.
"Ehhh, Sakura-chan are you okay..?" Naruto asked before taking on a sheepish expression, "Sorry about that, we were finishing our stupid mission, because Kakashi-sensei can never get a real mission with any action…" The blonde mumbled, now redirecting a stare at his uncaring teacher and Sasuke rolled his eyes before continuing for him.
"He threw a rock at me with his bad aim and hit you instead."
Naruto was back to looking sheepish, "D-don't say it so plainly teme, you make it sound worse than it is. You're all fine, right Sakura-chan?"
Sasuke glared and opened his mouth to retort but was stopped by a small giggle. They all turned to Sakura who was now openly laughing, clutching her thin stomach and stood up to dust herself off.
"What a weird dream! I knew that scroll thing was to weird to be real..." The kunoichi shook her head.
It all made sense now, what the scroll had written before she blacked out asking her about her imagination, and now here she was dreaming of the past… Can scrolls even write on their own? She almost snorted out. Although she missed these days, she wondered what prompted them… And why did it feel so real?
Stare.
Sakura's beaming smile began to dwindle as she became less reassuring of herself. Suddenly it hit her, the revelation slapping her in the face.
She couldn't feel pain while dreaming… But she felt it when Sasuke's head hit hers…
Then she was really in the past?! Who would send that to Tsunade?
Sakura blushed as Kakashi placed his warm hand on her wide, charming forehead. Great, now they probably think her past self is a lunatic.
"She doesn't have a fever.. Sasuke, Naruto, you guys go get the Hokage, tell him to get the Kazekage as well, I'll get her to the hospital."
"Ahehe, I'm okay Kakashi-sensei, it was just a… joke?" He eyed her suspiciously before smiling cheerfully.
"Alright then, see you all tomorrow at 7 am, don't be late!"
And just as quickly he was gone, tendrils of smoke coiling before lifting into the air. Sakura had to get home, she had to think of someway to get back before anyone noted her disappearance in her time.
She began to walk off, lost in thoughts and leaving behind a Naruto who was mumbling something about Kakashi always being late and Sasuke who himself was edging in the opposite direction.
"Sakura?"
She turned to look at Naruto's odd stare, blushing under it and cursing herself for being able to blush so easily, and bound off, "I'll see you at 7!!"
xXxXxXxXxXx
Sakura stood, her hand placed lightly onto the knob of her house but unable to bring herself to open it.. The one she lived in before moving out so many years ago. Would her parents be the same as they were back then?
Would her father still be that abusive ANBU bastard she had known him to be? And her mother, the beautiful woman who was still in denial of her husband?
Taking a deep breath, she slowly opened the door and as quietly as she can shut it behind her before tiptoeing up the steps that she vaguely remembered as a dark area from her past.
If she remembered correctly, her parents would either be at work or her mother would be cleaning while her father would be drinking in the living room. Shivering, she hoped they were at work and finally slipped into her old room and released a breath she was holding.
She could probably defend herself better than she had against her father in the past, but she wasn't willing to take any chances. Even after years of her mother's disappearance and later moving out, he was still able to give the shudder that ran up her spine.
Shaking the memories from her head, she walked over to the mirror and took in the form that was her younger self. She really needed to cut that hair…
She healed the bruise that Sasuke given her, Inner cheering on that she still had her own abilities.
'Ahaha, you're small now Inner!!'
'Ahahahahahaha shut up.'
Tommorrow would be… interesting… But right now she needed to cut that hair.
