She pushed some clothes out of her way and found her traveling bag and inside was the summoning scroll. Laying next to it was the beautiful sword Akuma had given her; she sighed and grabbed some clothes to get ready for the day. She looked at the clock and calendar and saw the date the day she got the team assignments. Also the day her parents died, she sighed and her eyes saddened. 

"It's not like theres anything I can do about it they are traveling in rain area to far away for me to get to them. I hadn't even thought about this when I made the deal all I thought about was being strong enough to kill those demons. Oh well can't change it now." Sakura said to her self as she continued rummaging through her closet. She got dressed into a fishnet shirt with a black mesh half shirt exposing her stomach and black shorts with fishnet leggings. She put on black boots that went up her her lower calf and a pair of red fingerless gloves. Sakura looked at her long pink hair and put it up in a ponytail with a black ribbon that had a red skull on it. She nodded at herself in the mirror and then looked at the clock one more time "6;30 I have about an hour till I have to be to the academy I think I'm going to go get a cup of tea on my way there." Sakura thought to herself. She then grabbed some money and opened her window closing it behind her as she stepped out onto her small balcony and jumped from building to building. It took a bit for her twelve year old body to adjust to how fast she was trying to travel but soon she was back at her normal speed.

She stopped and jumped off of a building and walked into a tea shop that was on the other side of the street as her. Since it was early in the morning not many people were there so Sakura found a seat in the corner of the small shop. A perfect seat; she hated having her back to people and it made her comfortable to see everything. She took her seat and waited for someone to come and serve her. She looked at the menu for a brief second quickly scanning over it. Then pulled out a book from a pouch strapped to her side and began to read it. Her eyes trailed off the book and looked up to see a waitress approaching her. The girl had blonde hair and brown eyes and was tall. She smiled at Sakura as she approached the table with a small notebook in her hands.

"Are your parents going to be arriving soon?" The women asked Sakura. Sakura looked at her with cold eyes still having the same eyes as when she was twenty. 

"No they will not be, now I'm on a bit of schedule so I'd like some Gyokuro tea and two sticks of dango." Sakura said her tone cold and emotionless leaving the waitress slightly shocked. "Damn I need to stop doing that im just so used to using that tone it's just comes out that way." Sakura slightly cursed herself. The women wrote down her order and then hurried away."It seems like she's either scared of me or creeped out." Sakura thought and then continued reading her book. The book she was reading was a book slightly like 'Icha Icha', yes a twelve year old reading that is weird. Sakura however put something over the cover of her book the name of it was 'Red rose sanctuary.' a weird title, but it was a romance book were a guy falls for a girl but the girl is in love with someone else.

A huge love triangle happens and its just a huge romantic and a bit of an inappropriate book. It was however Kakashi's fault she was reading it, he got her addicted to the series. After reading more for a while her tea and dango came. She looked at the clock "7;00 I have to go soon." She said quietly to yourself. Sakura took a sip of her tea and then sighed "I'm usually for the concept of savoring your tea but I gotta go." Sakura thought and then gulped her tea down and ate one of the sticks of dango picking the other one up and walking to the counter. Sakura set the amount of money she needed on it and walked out the door and before heading to the academy decided to go to the memorial stone.

Sakura made it to the memorial stone and put her book away the dango stick was already gone. She walked up to the stone and traced her hand on the black spots where the names of her fallen friends had once been. "Ino, Choji, Shika, Kakashi I promise i will get strong enough to beat them this time, this time ill save you." Sakura thought suppressing the memories of what had happened. But it was too late tears started to stream down her face but she quickly whipped them away as she felt a familiar chakra signature approaching. She didn't move though she stood there with her hand on the memorial stone. She heard footsteps behind her and her hand traced over one of the names. She stopped with her hand on it it read "Obito" Sakura sighed and let her hand fall to her side.

She heard footsteps and then they landed next to her and she looked up to see Kakashi looking down at her. He creased his eye as to smile at Sakura, she tried to smile back but since everything that happened to her she couldn't. She had long forgotten how to smile and how to feel happy. "Good morning," She said and Kakashi looked at her and had noticed how cold her eyes were and how fake her smile was. 

"Good morning." She looked at him again and wanted to do nothing but hug him. In her old timeline he was killed on a mission to investigate the strange disappearances of people in an equally strange town. Those disappearances just so happened to be related to the demons that tried to destroy Konoha. Instead Sakura looked at him and gave him the best smile she could. "Have a nice day I have to go." Sakura started walking away and pulling out her book again.

Sakura walked through town, it was almost time for the academy to start and people were starting their jobs so the street was slightly busy. Sakura walked at a normal pace and then stopped as she saw the academy building in front of her. She sighed and then continued walking "This is gonna be such a drag." Sakura muttered under her breath as she opened the academy doors and made her way up to her classroom. Sakura opened the door lazily with the book still in her hand. She then immediately heard people start to whisper she sighed again not once taking her eyes off of her book and then she took the seat in the back of the class. Sakura slumped down into the chair and put her feet on the desk and continued to read.
