"You see, I fail to see how forcing me to stay here is repaying your debt, don't I get to choose how you repay your debt?" Sakura asked exhausted 

"while if you want to be repaid in other ways..." He said grabbing her waist and pushing her against the wall his arm leaning against the wall, his scent surrounding her making her blush even more 

"NO YOU PERVERT! I MEANT TAKE ME HOME" 

"That can be arranged" he smirked 

'gahh I hate this bastard' Sakura thought internally sighing to herself while glaring at him, 

"The answer is I am, saving your life in return, so you can deal with it" The raven haired man replied stubbornly, 

"Fine, I am going to check on Shikamaru" Sakura huffed as she shouldered past the Uchiha, who grabbed her arm and turned her around, "Uh uh uh missy, I am the boss here, you cannot just push past me and not expect consequences" he smirked, Sakura took a sharp intake of breath, then looked to him and smirked "Oh, the Mafia boss of the Uchiha clan correct?" she questioned innocently, Sasuke nodded, "And I am the mafia boss of the Haruno clan?" he nodded again knitting his eye brows together in confusion, "Then we are of the same rank, don't tell me what to do asshole" Sakura replied flipping her long pink hair over her shoulder, walking away swaying her hips and turning around at the top of the stair case to Sasuke who stood there slightly shocked, smirking she enjoyed knowing that she effected him as much as he effected her. 


Sakura walked into the room where the man named Shikamaru slept, and saw the blonde lady named Temari asleep leaning against the edge of the bed, the poor woman must have been there all night,  her blonde hair had come out and had fallen down her back, she looked strained with worry and exhaustion, 'she must truly love this man...' thought Sakura, she wondered if she would ever love someone as much as this woman loved this man. 

Gently tapping her shoulder to wake her up, Sakura said to her "Here I will take care of him, go take a shower change and by the time you're done he should be waking up", 

Temari had nodded and given her a tight smile, thanking Sakura again then left the room. 

Sakura checked his vitals, everything seemed stable, she cleaned wounds and changed the bandages, then checked his drip, everything seemed fine, so she sat and begun to examine the bullets she had taken from his body, 

pulling out a magnifying glass she noticed something sticking out of the bullet, she pulled out a little sheet of metal which seemed to have an opening, Sakura pulled some tweezers out and attempted to open the metal sheet, 

once she finally pried it open a folded note fell out, 

her heart pounded as she unfolded the little note 

"Surrender Haruno, or more will die" 

her heart pounded, she stared at the paper in shock, her hands shaking, 

people were dying... because of her. she thought, she was getting light headed, 

she looked to bed with the still unconscious man, she couldn't handle this she had to leave, leave this place, this town everything, this madness was all to much for her, 

she was having a panic attack, she hadn't had one of those since she had found out her father was murdered and not died of natural causes, she was struggling to breathe, to see, she sunk down off the chair clutching her sides, muttering to herself, she had to get out, she was only a danger, was she the reason her father was killed? 


Strong hands wrapped around her waist, the strong scent of aftershave mixed with pine needles filled her senses, almost calming her, the arms lifted her up, she heard a deep voice say calmly  "Sakura, calm down, breathe and tell me whats wrong" she felt the strong arms pull her to his chest, tears begun to fall from her eyes, she struggled to speak, so she simply pointed at the paper that had fallen to ground, and let out a short "I-its a-all mm-my fault" gasping for air, she felt darkness surround her, her body go limp, but held up by strong arms, 

she felt herself being carried and gently put down, she couldn't open her eyes, she felt if she did everything would come rushing back to her, no she would much rather stay here, eyes closed surrounded by the heavenly scent from earlier, 

she allowed her mind to wander and watched as she saw glimpses of her past, A tall young man with pink hair, who wiped away the tears of the little pink haired girl, she had been asking for her mother, what she hadn't seen were the silent tears that fell from her fathers eyes, she saw the little girl skip away happily then the man turn to the picture of the smiling blonde haired woman, seemingly frozen in time within the picture frame as he whispered "Mebuki, what am I going to do without you? Our precious blossom will be raised with out a mother, I don't know if I can do it by myself" he hung his head, sighed then walked out of the room to go chase after the little girl, 

Sakura's heart sunk as she watched, the scene switched and it was when Sakura was now 13, her father had guests over, a man, who looked just like Sasuke,, he had raven hair tied back in a low pony tail, he looked to only be about 18,  walked in followed by a woman with brown hair, both looked young and had introduced themselves as Itachi and Izume, they were kind to Sakura, but soon her father had sent her off to Ino's house, where she had happily gone, blissfully ignorant of her father, 

next was the memory of her Fathers last gift to her, a pink cherry blossom necklace, he had given it to her for her 18th birthday, she watched as her younger self squealed and put it on, giving her father one last hug she said her quick thank yous and goodbyes, and ran off to her medical school graduation practice, she had been lucky enough to begin studying early, and was now ready to graduate, 1 week and she would be receiving her certificate for another life! At the time she hadn't noticed her fathers sad smile, he watched her, as if it were the last time he could see her. Her younger self ran and Sakura stayed to watch, when she heard her father whisper to the wind "Goodbye my daughter, I am sorry and I love you" Suddenly his green eyes looked directly at Sakura, she stood shocked unsure what to do when a voice pulled her from her sleep, 

her eyes snapped open, 

"He knew."
