I don't own Naruto.

Sakura, daughter of darkness.

AN- So this story takes place right after Naruto's training. He comes back to see Sasuke has returned. The Akatsuki never hunted down the Jinchuriki's yet. Sakura is the only one left from konoha 12 that has not figured out her chakra nature. Little did the world know, she has a chakra nature that has yet to be discovered, Darkness Style. She is in for a surprise, the more she uses it, the darker her soul turns.

I look at the sky from my apartment window and let out a low sigh. I wonder what kind of torment I will be faced with today. It has been six months since Sasuke and his team have returned. Since then all my friends replaced me with Sasuke's red haired teammate. Sasuke started dating her too, not like I cared anyways. Even my mentor Lady Tsunade has taken her under her wing. She is even better with chakra control than me, supposedly. She started working at the hospital already, which means I have to see her stealing all my friends there too. I guess you can say I am jealous. But who wouldn't be when they have everything they ever worked for ripped away so fast. At first Naruto was on my side, always sticking up for me, then all Karin's flirting got him wrapped around her finger. It's so unreal. Naruto was like a brother too me. He just returned from training with Lord Jirya to find Sasuke already back, with company of course. At least Naruto is happy, that makes one of us. I think I would be happy if Sasuke had stayed away, or worse, died. I got over my child hood crush. But he thinks otherwise. He always flaunts himself around me, acting good. I hate it. It seems like Hate is my new overused word.

Every morning I go blow some pent up steam at the training grounds.

Walking the least populated root to the training grounds I ran into the devil herself, Karin. Trekking forward I tried to ignore her. Unfortunately she stepped in front of me.

"What do you want? Shouldn't you be giving all the guys in Konoha a lap dance?" I asked in a board tone.

"And the truth comes out. Wait, not the truth about giving guys lap dances, Sasuke is the only one for me. I am talking about how you feel about me." She said smugly.

"Anyone who would believe lies from someone who they just met is insane." I said without portraying all the emotions bottled up I have of her.

"Is that how you feel about your friends?" She asked with mock curiousness.

"You mean my EX friends, Umm let me think" Putting my finger on my chin in a thinking way, "Yeah absolutely. Who knew that they needed a slut more than a friend?" I said firmly.

"Take that back you bitch! You're the one always flirting with the patients at the hospital, and having sex with the virgin genin!"

"You don't have to keep up the act. I already know you're the one spreading around the rumors about me. Now what the hell do you want? I am wasting time here."

"I just came to tell you the Hokage just told me I am her favourite student. I am a faster learner, and I'm going to surpass her. I will also be taking all of your old shifts." She stated while looking at her nails.

"W-what? I am the Head Doctor!" I said in a confused voice. She didn't pass me yet, did she?

"Don't you mean EX Head Doctor?! Ahahahahahaaaaahahaaha!" She laughed while holding her stomach.

"Your expression was priceless! That's why I bagged Tsunade to let me be the one to tell you!" Karin said after catching her breath.

I narrowed my eyes at her than began walking towards the Hokages office.

Once I was there I knocked on the door waiting for entrance.

"Come in" I heard from behind the door. Walking in, I held a serious expression.

"I think you probably know why I am here" I said.

"Yeah about your shifts at the hospital, I am assigning Karin as the head doctor. She has more potential to improve when she has that position. And Ino will be second in command. There are no other openings so you will be on standby in case a nurse is sick, is that all?" She asked in a cold tone. Makes you wonder if she really did spend three years teaching me.

"What? Do you really what to sweep my ability under a rug and forget that I am capable of a higher ranking?" I ask in disbelief. At least if she was promoting me to be a medic on a ANBU team I would understand, or even a Jonin team I would happily take it, but on stand by for a nurse?

"I have two capable kunoichi's that have great med skills; if I need you I'll give you a call. Anything else?" she asked annoyed.

"Do you have a solo long term mission available?"

"For your rank I have nothing. But an elder needs a baby sitter. Would you like that job?"

"No, Actually I would like to quit. And The Haruno clan has a cabin in Iwa. I would like to move there. You can call me when you have my access pass to earth country, and have the papers for me to formally quit." I said barely holding in my rage.

"Sakura look, nobody is going to feel sorry for you if you quit, so if this is an attempt to get noticed its".

"STOP! I am quitting because I have NO FRIENDS, Ever since Sasuke came back with his team people stopped hanging around me, nobody even cares when I come back from a mission hurt. When rumors started spreading around about me nobody came to ask if they were true, nobody even did an investigation about it, did you hear I was flirting with patients, or having sex with little kids? Did anyone even come forward confirming these rumors? I think not, because they are not true!" I stopped talking trying to calm down. Usually morning training helps but I skipped it. I continued in a calmer tone, an almost sad tone.

"I thought of you as a second mother. When my parents died, you, Shizune, Ino, Hinata, and Tenten were there for me, either giving me hugs or camping over when I was so alone. You help me move on and to have more people to love, especially you. I think Hinata and Shizune are the only ones in the entire village that doesn't hate me. So what is the reason to move on? It feels like I have no one left to love and care for. Even now that Naruto is back, he hates me to. I seriously don't know what I did to deserve this. So can you tell me? Tsunade, what did I do? What was it that made everything so bad, so much so that I'm questioning my existence?"

"…Sakura" Tsunade said with a guilty voice.

'Damn right she is guilty! Cha!' Inner said.

"Tell me, was I not good enough? What did I do to deserve so much pain?"

"…"

"I will be back tomorrow after I packed all my things. Make sure you have everything I need to cut ties with this village. I guess you don't need someone to replace me, you already did." I left then.

When I got home I went to shower, that's when everything came crashing down, my inner walls that is. I fell to the ground still under hot water and cried. I cried feeling loss, this time greater than my parent's death. I felt loss over Naruto, Kakashi sensei, my mentor Tsunade, and Shizune, Ino, Tenten and Hinata. I felt loss over Konoha twelve, I guess it will be Konoha eleven now, oh wait, they already replaced me, I almost forgot. I thought with dry humor. What hurt the most was I lost my home. Or was it my life? I am a walking dead person, dead on the inside that is.

After my shower I check what time it is to see that its one in the afternoon. I made lunch then started packing things. I jumped a little when I heard a knock at the door. No one has done that since before I can remember.

I answered the door with precaution, to make sure it wasn't a prank. I was a little surprised to see both Hinata and Shizune.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"O-oh Lady Shizune h-heard y-you were going to quit b-being an n-ninja and m-move to earth c-country." Hinata stuttered.

"Yeah, you have that information right." I confirmed feeling guilty I am leaving my two only friends.

"Sakura, why?" Shizune finally asked after a long pause. It seems like she is carefully wording things.

"Well if you were in the Hokages office earlier you would have heard. You two are the only ones in the village that don't hate me, even Lady Tsunade does. I don't even know why, but I am replaced with Karin. No one looks at me. When they do it's with disgust. Lots of parents block their kids from seeing me, like I am a monster. I don't even know why I keep living. It world hurt less if my heart just stopped beating. I am not that pitiful though. I am going to try living, far away from here. Maybe one day I will be happy again. Hinata, take care of Naruto for me and Shizune, take care of Tsunade. Both of you keep an eye on Sasuke and his team, I don't trust them." I said sadly.

Hinata and Shizune were both crying, and what hurt the most was they are crying for me. At least someone cares. After they left I went into my parent's old room to grab the map to my family cabin. I looked for twenty minutes before I found the package. Opening the envelope I got mad. Nothing was there. The map was empty. When my parents were alive they always told me about the Haruno cabin, and how happy they were there. Now I don't know what to do. Should I just give up? No I will not. My chakra spiked a little and the paper I was holding started to glow. Is that my imagination? I gathered chakra in my hands and the map started to glow. Did it just need my chakra? A map started appearing and letters started glowing. Then the map started drawing itself with black ink. I quickly packed it in my weapons pouch.

After I packed all my things in scrolls, it was dark out. Maybe I should go for one last stroll around the village. Once outside I walked to the academy, lots of memories. I then went to team seven`s training grounds, to my misfortune Sasuke just had to be here. Turning around I intended to leave before he happened to noticed me.

"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled to get my attention. Crap, crap, crap!

'Run Sakura Run!' Inner piped.

'No I don't wanna seem like I need to run from that bastard! Inner, I'm not a weak little girl anymore remember!'

Stopping, I turn to face one of the reasons my life is upside down.

"What do you want?" I asked in an empty voice.

"I heard you are quitting and moving?" He asked cockily.

Quitting? Quitting? And running, running away from my pain. Am I too weak to face my pain? Yeah, so I'm quitting, and running. The way he worded that makes me angry. But it is true, I am quitting. I am running away.

"What is it to you?" I replied coldly.

"Is it too hard for you?" He mocked. Damn Uchiha! No calm down Sakura, he is not going to get a rise outta me.

"Why stick around when I'm being under appreciated. Other villages will be more than happy to take me." I said confidently.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." He snorted.

"Why did you come back? Are you spying for that pedophile? Did he have you too many nights sneaking into your room, you had to leave because you questioning your sexuality? Did your goal to kill your brother seem too impossible?" I mocked.

"That's it Sakura, you asked for it!" He grabbed me roughly and forced his lips onto mine. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I realized this evil creature is kissing me. Acting fast I tried to pry him off me, he has an iron grip on me.

'Use chakra!' Got it!

Pumping chakra into my fist I punched him good in the gut. Watching him get up he had a smirk on his face, what? He should not be smirking! Controlling my temper I turned to walk away. Sasuke wasn't having any of it though.

"I am not finished with you yet Sakura! Get back here, or else!" Sasuke said.

Damn creep! Is this really Sasuke?

"Why don't you go rape Karin, god knows, she deserves it." I said continuing to walk. I wasn't surprised to see Sasuke pinning me to the ground in less than a second.

"I'd rather have you, Sa-ku-ra!" he whispered in my ear. I shivered, in fear.

"Get the fuck off me!" I screamed.

"What are you going to do about it? No one is going to come help you. They will think you want it. You are a whore anyways, why not let me have you for one night?"

"Because I hate you! Isn't that enough reason?" I yelled.

Pushing him off with a little help from my chakra I started running towards the busy part of the village. Once I got to the village I jumped from roof top to roof top. Where do I go? Shizune! She will be enough to make Sasuke leave. Turning my head to see if I was still being followed I see a smirking Sasuke, damn what the hell is his problem? If this were three years ago maybe I'd go for it, but Sasuke is evil now, and I hate him, and he is dating the red headed whore! I tried to be fast but Sasuke was faster. One slip up from me and Sasuke had me pinned to a wall in an ally.

"We're going to have to fight with all our power!" Yeah you are right inner.

Sasuke attacked my neck with his slimy mouth. Eww! Disgusting! Trying to fight him only egged him on.

"Let. Me. Go!" I had to do something fast, who would have thought Sasuke was a rapist! I knew all the time he spent with Orochimaru had tainted him.

"Byakugan"

Sasuke now fell to the ground after a bunch of gentle fist attacks to his back. Looking at my savour I almost cried in happiness. Hinata had her byakugan activated and in her attacking stance. I rushed over to Hinata's side getting in my fighting stance, ready to attack Sasuke as a team. He looked at Hinata then back to me with a smirk.

"It looks like we'll have to continue this later Sakura. Don't be surprised if I show up to where ever you go to flee from the village." With that said and done Sasuke left.

"Hinata you just saved my purity. Sasuke did mean business. He chased me from the old team seven training grounds. I tried my best to fight him off, that just seemed to excite him. I was going to run to Shizune, she would inform the Hokage if Sasuke stepped out of line."

"I know. I saw him chase you so I grabbed my ninja tools and followed. It seems like I should have got here sooner."

"Huh? Why?" I asked tilting my head a bit.

"Your neck" she replied.

"Can you walk me home?" I asked too scared that Sasuke might be lurking around for Hinata to leave.

"O-oh, Of course!" she replied back to stuttering.
