Hey all! Taking a break from the Ishida fanfic out of lack of interest. No one's reading because I don't know what to write anymore there.

Oddly, A friend of mine recommended a fic that was awesome, and held out many of the thoughts on how this genre would work, so I'm taking it a step farther. She made it possible, but didn't follow through!

I will, this is going to be good!

(WARNING!! Current on the manga, if you're not, spoilers WILL happen!)

Chapter 1

Sakura frowned as she slumped to the side, unable to keep her eyes focused. Tsunade was yelling like mad, but Sakura had no interest in her. Sasuke was here, Danzo Defeated, The only ones left in the Akatsuki seemed to be Tobi and the plant guy. Sakura held her breath, hoping to stretch her lungs and eradicate the tension in her chest. She looked over at Sasuke, who looked down at her with wide eyes. "Sakura?"

"Huh?" Her head lulled over at him. "You don't look well. You need to rest."

"I'm not that little girl anymore. I don't have time for that." She pushed off of the tree, past the screaming Tsunade who grabbed her by her arms and tried to hold her down. Sakura turned to the woman and grabbed her by the shoulder, shoving her off. "I have people to try and save." Sakura growled and the older woman sighed.

The battlefield before them was littered with people, most of them alive. Tsunade was so worried about Sakura pushing till she died herself, as her work took way too much chakra from her, and she seemed to have no restraints.

Sakura sucked down two soldier pills from her hand as she walked farther into the bloodshed, seeking the worst damaged ninjas.

She happened across him, His face down in the field and her heart stopped. She rushed ahead, flipping him over and she stared, checking for a pulse, as breath, anything.

Nothing. She frowned, brushing his obsidian hair from his eyes. She looked around and shook her head. "No, I can't..." She growled and reached down, sealing any wounds she could find across him. The cause of death, blunt force to the head. She healed his skull and ran her hands over him, finding a punctured lung and healed it before looking around.

Now was not the time to keep morals.

She noticed one of the enemy guards close by and reached out, grabbing his hand, placing her hand over her patient's chest.

She felt the flow of chakra, seeping from the man beside her who started weakly trying to escape. It was only a few minutes later, she felt the movement beside her cease, the body before her started again. She checked for a pulse and noticed his breathing. She looked over at Tsunade and nodded, standing slowly, going to the next.

She wasn't about to lose any of her friends, and Lee had always been a friend to her. She wasn't about to tell anyone though, that he'd been dead, that she'd lost her morals.

She was stealing life from the enemies to return to the ones she cared about.

It was late that night that she'd crawled into her bed and fell asleep instantly.

She woke the next morning to see how her patients were doing. She was surprised to see everyone in a good mood, even Tsunade smiled as she made her rounds. She was a med nin after all, and right now they needed all the doctors they could find.

"It's odd." Tsunade looked at her with wide eyes. "When I ran across Lee earlier he'd been dead. How did you do it?"

Sakura smiled, looking down at her hands with a little surprise. She wasn't aware that Tsunade had been healing in that area. "I had to have hope." She smiled, looking over Lee's soft breaths. His eyes crept open and Sakura's snapped to alert.

"Lee! How do you feel? Do you need anything?" He shook his head with a smile. "Sakura-Chan, I knew you'd find a way, you're the best..." His eyes closed again and Sakura smiled, sighing.

"He'll be out for another while. He was in such bad shape..."

"He was dead." Tsunade stared, her eyes dark at the thought. "Whatever you did, I know you healed many of the dead, who are now alive here. I saw what had happened to Shino. Lee. Ino. Sakura, whatever you did, thank you."

Sakura smiled darkly and nodded, walking away. She wasn't about to tell her secrets.

She laid down that night, tired from the long day at the hospital, her sudden corruption laying heavily on her heart. She opened her eyes to see Naruto in her window, staring at her.

"How are you, Sakura-chan?"

"Tired." Her voice cracked as she rolled over, looking at him. Naruto looked at her worried. "I know how you healed them. I can't blame you, but be careful. I don't want them finding out you're using forbidden jutsu so easily." Sakura nodded, her eyes closing softly.

"I knew you'd know. You've seen it before. I couldn't lose them, though. It was most of our friends. It was nearly everyone. I just couldn't believe it. I guess I was in shock."

"It's fine, Sakura. You saved them all." With that he climbed into her room and laid down on her bed, wrapping his arms around her. She normally would have fought with him, but tonight having someone there, someone who knew what was happening, someone who wanted to comfort her, it was everything.

"Naruto, Thank you." She smiled as his hands squeezed her tightly.

She woke the next morning to hear Naruto snoring softly by her ear and she smiled. Her eyes opened to see another by her, staring. "Sasuke?"

"I know what you did. I could see it all." His eyes were cold and Sakura stared.

"I couldn't let them all die like that." She frowned and Sasuke nodded.

"You're stronger than I thought. Stealing life to give to others, that's quite interesting."

Sakura smiled as she sat up, waking the other ninja beside her. "You can use it if you need. I know you have the ability now." She stretched and Sasuke nodded.

"When was the first time you used that?"

"Ino." She sighed, standing, missing the look of confusion on Naruto's face at Sasuke's presence. "I'd never used it before that battle." Sasuke nodded.

"I know things are different, between us nothing seems to be the same, but would you have used it on me?" His eyes were dark, Naruto noticed the soft spinning of the tomoe in his eyes.

"Sasuke, what are you doing?"

"Freeing her." His voice was still cold, but Naruto trusted him and nodded.

"I would. Sasuke, you shouldn't have to ask her. What are you two talking about?" She looked between Sasuke and Naruto who just looked at her, each with their own faces.

"Sakura, how did you do it, how did you heal them?" Sasuke's voice sank into her and she turned to him, smiling. "It was hard. I guess I just did what I could. I don't really..." She looked over at Naruto who's eyes widened at her answer. "I don't remember." She frowned, looking over at Sasuke. "What did you do?"

Sasuke leaned out of the window and shook his head. "I've freed you from a prison you'd just built yourself." Naruto bowed his head, realizing what had happened. "Sasuke, thank you." Sasuke nodded before backing out of the window.

So, she had the ability to heal the dead. That could be quite useful.

After a week, most of the hospital was empty, the world was back to normal. Sakura patted Lee on the back as he left. She was so happy he'd been safe. She looked over at Genma, who walked up to her, silently. "Oi, beautiful, Tsunade-sama needs to see you." Sakura nodded. She rolled her eyes at the smile on him before headed off.

She made her way there in seconds and knocked at the window, seeing Tsunade inside.

"Sakura, I need to know, how did you heal the dead that day?"

"I don't remember." She smiled and Tsunade noticed the absent look in her eyes. She really didn't.

"Do you know any methods to bring back the dead?" She asked, and Sakura noticed the urgency in her voice. "What's happened?"

She broke into the room, eyes red with tears, threatening a scream as she saw him for the first time. "Sensei!" She shook him and turned, seeing Tsunade's hopeful look.

"There's only one way, I'll need a sacrifice, but it'll work." Her tone was dark, she turned to Tsunade who nodded. "I know who would be perfect."

It was a while later that the old woman was brought in, a soft smile on her face, looking over the body before her. "If I die, it'll help him, he'll come back to life, right?" Sakura nodded, sighing. She'd been about to pull it off herself.

"He will live, but you will die." She nodded and sat, sitting beside the bed. "What do I do?"

It was an hour later that she left the room. She felt sick and ended out curled up in the hallway, unable to walk any further. The old woman came to the hospital often, she'd been ill and didn't have much time left.

That didn't stop the thought though, she'd taken her life.

She gave it to Kakashi. She'd given life to Kakashi-sensei. She smiled as she stood, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I can't do that again." She spoke softly, to no one specifically.

"I can help again." She heard and turned, seeing Sasuke behind her, his eyes narrowed. She stared at him, surprised. "Again?"

"That's how you healed the others, they were all dead. You used the enemy soldiers as sacrifices and healed almost the whole town." Sakura's eyes widened, her stomach turning. "I what?"

" I knew you wouldn't want to remember, so I took the thoughts from you. I can do it again." He looked at her and she shook her head. "Sasuke, why? You've barely spoken to us since you got back, but you're suddenly wanting to help me?"

"I've..." His eyes fell, his face turned to confusion and she stared at him, surprised. "There's something you want from me."

"There is." His voice was soft, his eyes suddenly worried. "Sakura, I want him back. After I found out what had happened, after I found out why he let me kill him, I just... I want my brother back."

"It's too late." She gasped, suddenly worried about him. "Sasuke, I can only heal them shortly after death, if it's been more than a few hours, let alone three years."

"Oh." His eyes fell, an odd look that Sakura had never seen on him before. She stood and walked over, hugging him.

He was warm. She smiled as she crossed her arms across his back. "Sasuke, I'm sorry. If I could, I would help, but I can't. If there's anything else, Anything at all,"

"No." He shook his head and pulled his head back, looking her in the eye.

Sakura woke a moment later.

Why was she in the hall? She was warm. She frowned as she stood up, dusting herself off.

There were tears in her eyes. She reached up, surprised as she wiped them away.

"Thank you, Sakura!" She heard and turned, drying off her hands. "Huh?" She was confused as to why she was getting thanked.

"What's up?" She asked, a suddenly startled Tsunade before her.

"What do you mean, What's up?! You just brought Kakashi back to life!" She smiled and Sakura just stared, surprised.

She laid down that night, surprised by two things. First, she had the ability to bring others to life? That didn't sound familiar at all. Second, if this was something that she kept doing, why didn't she remember? Was the technique so draining that it sucked out her memory? She sighed as she laid back, also a third thought popping into her head.

Someone had killed Kakashi. She sighed, turning in her sleep. He'd been on a mission, but came back dead. He'd dropped right outside of the village, the item he'd been sent after under his arm, but he didn't live the whole way. He'd died right outside of the village.

Thank god Gai went to see what was keeping him.

She looked out the window with a start. "Naruto!" She jumped up.

"Oi, Sakura-chan, can I ask you a question?" She nodded, calming. "I heard... That Kakashi was dead."

"He was. Apparently I brought him back to life." She sighed and laid down. "I don't remember it at all."

"It's emotionally draining for you. Remember, to give someone life, you have to take someone else's life away." Sakura stared.

"Oh." She knew what she'd done. "Why don't I remember?" She asked and Naruto smiled weakly at her. "Sasuke. He doesn't like seeing you hurt. As distant and cold as he's pretending to be, he still wants to see you happy." Sakura smiled. "That's a wonderful thought. I was starting to think he hated me." Sakura sighed and closed her eyes.

"I don't think he can really hate us. He's been with us. We were a team once. It's hard to hate someone you trusted with your life." Naruto whispered and came in, sitting on the bed beside her. She smiled at him as he reached down, patting her leg. "Go to sleep, Sakura. Things will be better tomorrow."
