A young woman stood in the middle of a vast, shadow-laden field, littered with unconscious bodies; the only light coming from the eerie blue glow of the moon which hung in the starless sky with an almost threating silence. Her Anbu uniform hung tattered and torn against her skin, trailed with blood and dirt.

She was exhausted, but she didn't show it. She was amazed that she had made it this far. Her skill had definitely improved since she had been accepted into Anbu, though she didn't think she could take anymore, without resorting to unnatural methods.

"Incoming." Said a familiar looking pug, as he dropped back to his summoner. Footsteps could soon be heard closing in on her; her instinct immediately bringing her to a crouch, as she drew her didn't know how much more she could endure, but she would be damned if she was going to fail now.

"Renga." She immediately snapped to attention upon hearing her Anbu code name from the all too familiar voice of the Hokage; her wrist proceeding to perform a swift flick as she slid both sai back into her belt.

"Normally Anbu have to take this exam at least twice before passing, if they pass at all. Though I know you, you didn't rush and you took the year out to train for it. I expected nothing less from my apprentice… congratulations, Sakura. As of now you are an Anbu Captain."

"WHOO! HELL YEAH!" Sakura pumped her fist and cackled. "You hear that Pakkun? We did it!" She squealed as she picked him up and snuggled him tightly.

Still holding the pug, she all but tackled Tsunade; an immense mixture of joy and relief practically radiating from her. "Thank you, Shishou!" The older woman chuckled a little, as Sakura quickly remembered her place and jumped back to attention; a small, nervous smile twitching at her lips as she tried to calm herself. "I-I mean… when should I report for my first mission as Captain, Hokage-sama?"

"Tomorrow morning. First thing. After I debrief Team Ookami from their mission. I have a special mission for you."

"You already have a mission lined up for me, Shish-… Hokage-sama?" Tsunade smirked knowingly at the battle-worn Sakura.

"I knew you'd pass."

Hey guys! Ok, I am warning you now. I will post chapters to this when I have the chance to write. Remember, I am pre-med and I am also getting married in April of next year. I am a busy gal, though I write to relax. So stick with me and I will finish this story too.

I swore you guys were going to kill me with, "Two Pink Lines." .

I didn't expect to take that long, but I finished it! I am surprised I did actually... I was thinking of writing an Avatar, The Last Airbender fanfiction too... I am sad I haven't found a really good one yet. I am up for story suggestions if you read a good one! I love to read. ;)

Anyway, this chapter was edited... beta'd I guess... by Speedy Speck!
