ENJOY!

He had been watching her. Ever since she had taken out Sasori, one of his favorite pawns, he had watched her. Even if she had had help from the crazed old woman it still was a feat. He smirked under his swirling orange mask.

"She was full of great potential," he thought to himself. He was actually debating on bringing her to the base when another one of his pawns slowly materialized from the ground.

"Madara-sama, I have a report."

"Speak," he looked over at his always surprising complexion, His bright green hair very vibrant against his half white, half black skin.

"The pink haired kunoichi has returned from the mission and her family has left." The white side stated calmly. "Yeah the dumbasses are out in the open just waiting to be eaten," the black side hissed.

"Thank you Zetsu, position yourself as planned, I will follow shortly," Madara ordered. Zetsu melted into the ground.

"Soon I will take that cherry bud and turn her into a blood splattered cherry blossom," he laughed as a vortex swirls around his left eye and he disappeared.

*In Konoha*

"Thank you, Sakura, you are dismissed."

"Hai Tsunade-sama," the pink haired kunoichi turned on her heels walked out of the Hokage's office. She stretched out her sore muscles and went out in search of a certain silver-haired sensei. She walked the streets of Konoha just admiring the people bustling on with their lives. When she felt like someone walking behind her she stopped.

"I was looking for you Kakashi-sensei," she smirked as she turned. He looked at her surprised.

"I can't even sneak up on my students anymore. I feel like I'm losing my touch," Kakashi sighed. "Why were you looking for me?"

"You owe my dinner for taking care of Naruto last week, and otou-san and okaa-san are out visiting obaa-chan out at the edge of the forest. I'm all myself tonight," Sakura sighed.

Kakashi sighed. She had taken Naruto off his hands so he could finish the newest Icha Icha. He looked down at Sakura to see her giving him a puppy dog pout. He had a few things that he needed to finish before tomorrow too. Paper work there was always paper work. He was actually stalling on that anyway, hence why he was following Sakura in the first place. His thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice singing Celine Dion in his ear.

"~All by myself don't wanna be all by myself anymore! Hard to be sure sometimes I feel so …mufff~," Kakashi's hand stopped Sakura loud singing as they backed away from the crowd that was starting to stare. Sakura giggled.

"Fine, let's just not sing in the middle of the village shall we," Kakashi started walking toward the ramen shop with Sakura close behind.

"Come on Kakashi I love having an audience," Sakura boasted as Kakashi sighed.

"I have heard you sing and that was not your singing. I thought my ears were going to bleed," Kakashi ducked barley missing a charka filled fist. Crap thinking out loud again.

Sakura just laughed and continued on to the Ramen shop. Kakashi didn't really feel any better. When Sakura didn't get you right away, she saves it for later when you least expect it. He had been hit months after an incident he vaguely remembered. Sakura was good at getting even, it was really scary. Kakashi sighed again and sat down on a stool next to Sakura and ordered his ramen.

"How is the training with Tsunade- sama going?" he asked trying to make simple conversation.

"Hard," Sakura whined. She had ordered her ramen and was sipping at what looked like sake. He hoped his student wouldn't become a drunk that liked to spar like Tsunade.

"She has me running around the hospital taking care of the major paitents, I get missions one after another and she has me training on almost all of my spare time. This is the first evening I've had off in a few months," she took a long drink from her bottle and started getting rosy-cheeked. Kakashi stared wide-eyed.

"Geez that is some schedule."

"Yeah tell me about it," Sakura gulped down the ramen, finished off her bottle and sighed. "It never ends," she stood and met a newly appeared ANBU outside the shop. Sakura was always surprising him; he hadn't even felt the ANBU approaching until the last second.

"Hokage-sama needs to see you immediately," the ANBU ninja poofed away after a quick nod from Sakura.

"Thank you for dinner Kakashi-sensei," she waved as she disappeared leaving a few cherry blossoms behind.

"That girl is going to snap one day," Kakashi paid the bill and started walking home humming to himself. Then fully broking out into song.

"ALL BY MYSELF~!"

*Hokage's office*

Sakura knocked on the door.

"Come in." Sakura bowed politely.

"You asked to see me Tsunade-sama?"

"Yes there was an attack out on the edge of the forest, ANBU are there now but they need medical assistance immediately. He will take you there," She motioned to the ANBU behind Sakura, who had just entered.

"Time is of the essence, Dismissed," The words no sooner left her mouth and the room was emptied and a swirl of cherry blossoms the only marker that someone else had been there.

"Show them what my apprentice can do," Tsunade smiled and started humming a song that popped into her head.

'All By Myself,' she hummed to herself.

*Edge of the Forest*

"Being a medical ninja I have come across a lot of horrific scenes. Men and Women blown apart by misplaced paper bombs. Children will gashes running down their arms and legs because they were playing with kunai they found. I even had a man come in completely purple and swollen about double his normal size from a poison. I am ready for almost anything." Sakura thought to herself.

As the ANBU and Sakura made it to the scene she kneeled down in front of the first person she saw breathing. It was an older woman who had a kunai sticking out of her abdomen. She carefully pulled it out and quickly sealed the wound with the green flowing charka over my hands. The woman whimpered and then sighed at the relief.

"Thank you miss," the woman wept a little as Sakura walked to another person. As she kneeled she noticed that the man was not just a civilian but another shinobi. He opened his eyes and stared up at her. He had all of his ribs shattered and one had even pierced his heart. Sakura was actually surprised he was still breathing at all. She tried to ease his pain because there was nothing more she could do he was already on his way to meet Shinigami-sama.

He opened his mouth to speak but Sakura quieted him. "It's alright. You're gonna be fine," she spoke calmly. He looked up at me through eyes wet with tears and shook his head.

"Sakura- hime… the people … that did this….. are looking for you….. you must leave," the man began to cough up blood, he shuddered and grew still. His eyes slowly lost their luster and the shinobi died in her arms.

"May Shinigami-sama bring you peacefully home," Sakura spoke and closed the shinobi's eyes. She didn't have time to ponder on what he meant; she needed to help the other people. Sakura started to run around from person to person either mending wounds or speaking final words. The ANBU were working what with what medical knowledge they had to help.

She stood up from a little boy and bowed, "May Shinigami-sama bring you home where you can forever play." She turned to come face to face with an ANBU stopping her. There were three more civilians behind him that needed medical attention.

"Move aside they need help," she pushed him but he caught her hand.

"Sakura- hime I don't know if you should go over there," the ANBU hesitated for a moment before finishing. "They are already gone there is nothing more you can do." Sakura ripped her hand out of his grip.

"I can at least say a few words," She walked past him as he followed close behind and sighed. She walked over to the clearing where the last three bodies were. It was by far the worst sight at the scene. The bodies were torn apart and they looked like they were even gnawed on by some sort of animal. She stopped short and looked down at the only whole body.

The woman had blond hair that was now streaked with blood and a white dress with a simple red circle on the back. Sakura began to shake as she ran to the side of the body.

"Okaa-san! OKAA-SAN!" Sakura held the body of her fallen mother close to her face. The ANBU slowly walked up to her and set his hand on her shoulder.

"I… I tried to help but she was already gone," the ANBU knelt beside me and held out a simple chain with a wedding ring on it, along with an old book. The chain belonged to her father and the book was a small note-book her grandmother carried with her everywhere.

"They didn't …. make it either," he set the objects beside her and gave her some space.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sakura wailed.
