-Sakura's POV-
It's been a few years since Shadow left. I still wear her necklace and think of her every day. Nobody remembers her except for me, Kakashi-sensei and the Hokage. I'm walking to the training grounds to train with the team.

"Yo Sakura. Look what I've received." Kakashi says showing me a note.

Yo Kakashi,
How bout you and Sakura-chan come to the woods outside the gates. I want you to meet someone. And knowing you, you'll show Sakura-chan this. I love you Sakura-chan. Anyways, I'll be there tonight. See yah.
-Shadow!

"Yay!" I shout as I jump up. Kakashi just chuckles at how childish I'm acting.

"It's been a few years." Kakashi says smiling under his mask.

"Yeah it has been. I wonder who she wants us to met." I say tilting my head a bit.

"Who knows. It's Shadow we're talking about." Kakashi chuckles.

"True. Alright let's get training." I say and he nods.

-Shadows POV-
"Wh-where's Yuri?" I asked as I ran through out the base.

"Mama, mama, mama!" Yuri yelled running away from Hidan. I scoped her up into my arms.

"Get back here bitch! I'll sacrifice you!" Hidan yells out.

"Mama, uncle Hidans bein mean agwin." Yuri says hiding in my cloak.

"Hidan!" I say dangerously.

"The little bitch called me old." He whines.

"Well you are old. Get over it. Anyway, have you seen ani?" I ask.

"Uh no. I don't fucking think I have." He says. I sigh.

"Well, damn. Okay. I'm taking Yuri out for some training and Dangos. Don't sacrifice anyone. Leader-sama isn't here and won't be for a little while. See yah." I say walking away. I hear him mutter something about sacrifices to Jashin.

"Mama, where awre whe goin?" Yuri asks.

"Out for some training and then to get dangos." I reply.

I get to mine and Yuri's room and pack us some dangos and water. I grab Yuri's whip and sketch pad. See whatever Yuri sketches comes to life and whenever she whips someone it cuts them open and stops their blood flow. It's rather interesting she can bend blood.

We walk out of the base to see Leader-sama and Konan coming back from a mission. "Gwandpa!" Yuri shouts running over to leader-sama and Konan.

"Hey kid. Where are you off to?" Leader-sama asks as he picks her up. She's got everyone wrapped around her finger. It's so cute.

"Mamas takwing mwe ohut fhor shome twaining and shome dangos." Yuri says.

"Is that so?" He asks and she nods her head. "Shadow if anything happens to her it's your head." He says seriously.

"Hai, hai. I know. I won't let anything happen to her. They'd have to kill me first." I say and take Yuri back from him. We walk for a little while until I know we're not being followed.

"Okay Yuri let's see your chakra control. Let's start with walking up a tree."

"How?" She asks tilting her head.

"Focus your chakra to your feet. It's actually the hardest thing to do. My old sensei had me do it at your age and it took a long time to do it. The key in doing it is find the perfect in between." I reply.

She nods her head and focuses her chakra to her feet. She then sprints towards to tree and gets a few feet up before being pushed back. "That's too much chakra. Try again." I say.

She nods and tries again and gets further up the tree then she gets pushed back again. "Mama, did ywou shee that?" She asks and I chuckle and nod my head. She tries it again and makes it to a pretty high branch.

"Good job Yuri! Come down and try to make it there again." I shout up to her. She jumps down and does it again. She does this about five more times. "You did awesome Yuri. What do you want to do next?" I ask.

"How about taijutsu. Gwandpa says it needsh whork." She says.

"Alright. Ready?" I ask. She gets in her stance. "Remember, you can switch to your weapons just not your whip. You only use that against enemies okay?" She nods again. "Okay. Ready?" She tightens her stance. "Go." I say and she comes at me full speed.

She throws some punches and kicks my way. I block them all. She jumps back and I reach my hand in my pouch and pull out my book, 'Icha Icha Paradise'. Yes I have gotten into the book. "You can continue attacking at any time Yuri." I say and she growls.

She comes at me again full speed and starts attacking. I just dodge and block. Then I hear rustling in the bushes and out pops my pink haired beauty and my silver gravity defying haired sensei. I got distracted and Yuri punches me into a tree. "Ouch! Yuri, that hurt." I say standing up out of the tree.

"I sowwy mama." Yuri yells running up to me.

"Mama?" Kakashi questions.

"Yeah what the heck?" Sakura asks.

"Hello Sakura-chan. Kakashi. I'd like you to meet Yuri. I saved her from some people who wanted her dead. Yuri meet the love of my life Sakura and my old sensei Kakashi."

"Hewwo." Yuri says smiling.

"Hello Yuri." They both say. Sakura walks up to me and kisses me.

"Ewhy!!" Yuri yells causing us to chuckle and pull away.

"I agree with Yuri." Kakashi says taking Yuri.

"I need to speak with Sakura for a minute. Can you watch Yuri. If anything happens to her it'll be my head." I mutter the last part.

"Yeah.." he says.

"Yuri do you want your whip?" She nods her head and I take it off of my back and hand it to her.

I grab Sakura bridal style and go sit on a tree a few trees away. "What do you need ai?" She asks.

"I want you to be Yuri's other mom. And if anything happens to me, you'll take her. I'll have Itachi bring her to you if anything should happen to me." I say looking into her beautiful emerald green eyes.

"Of course I'll be Yuri's mom, but nothing will happen to you. You'll return to the Leaf when they are destroyed." She says cupping my cheek. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her into a hug.

"I've missed you so much Sakura-chan." I mumble into her hair. She still smells like bubblegum and cotton candy.

"I've missed you too Shadow-chan." She says kissing the crook of my neck. I stiffen up a bit. She giggles a little at my actions.

"That's not funny Sakura-chan." I say pouting at her.

She then kisses me passionately until I hear someone scream. I pull away in a panic and run to where we left Yuri and Kakashi. I see three Rouge ninjas trying to get pass Kakashi.

"Yuri! Your whip, now." I say sternly. She takes it and slashes it at the rouges cutting them. "Okay Yuri, do it." I say as I see there blood.

She makes hand signs and says. "Blood control; blood flow." Then pulls her hands towards her pulling out the enemies hearts in a swift move.

I walk over to the bodies and look them over. "What was that?" Kakashi asks as Sakura picks up Yuri.

"Yuri can control blood as long as she sees it. And they were after her. Yuri, it's time to head back now. I'm sure everyone there is worried about you." I say grabbing Yuri.

"Be careful Shadow. Come back and visit." Kakashi says.

"I will. Don't worry." I say giving Sakura one last kiss.

"Mama, i thought we was 'etting dangos." Yuri says.

"You're still in love with dangos?" Kakashi asks.

"Duh. And yes Yuri we'll go get some more dangos. We need to get some for uncle Itachi as well. Since he got them last time he was out." I mutter.

"Be careful." Sakura says kissing mine and Yuri's cheeks.

"We will. Love you Sakura-chan. Take care of Sasuke, Kakashi."

"I will." He says back.

"Love you too Shadow-chan." Sakura says.
