Mission: Katana Kidnapping

Sweat rolled down Sakura's forehead and onto her brow as she jumped from tree branch to tree branch. Her vision had already become hazy, seeing as she had been going at this rate for over two hours. The cold, misty, forest was quiet except for the sound of her soft footsteps, so she relaxed.

The cool water slipping of green lush leaves made it clear that it had just poured; slippery, wet bark of the trees made it hard to keep her balance. To top it off her speed was not helping.

Her soft gasps for breath increased as she pushed herself at a faster speed. Heavy metal banged on her back constantly, making her wince a couple of times, but she continued onward.

Suddenly, Sakura's senses were alerted. She was not alone.

'He had to have been masking his footsteps to match perfectly with mine.' She thought, as she scanned her surroundings for a place to make a decent.

She could practically feel her pursuer smirk.

'Tch, He's the same as he was before he left. Over confident'' She thought with a scowl. 'That will be his downfall. Tonight he will deem me a more than worthy opponent.'

As an opening appeared Sakura slowed to s light jog. Swiftly, she jumped down towards the ground, her assailant following close behind her. Her feet slid in the mud and she used the friction and momentum to turn around, finally facing her opponent.

"Sasuke, my my, have you changed." Sakura stated examining him; And it was true. He had changed in some drastic ways, but others so small that any person who hadn't known him before, couldn't pick them out.

Although a bit longer in length, his raven black hair still stuck out, defying gravity. His piercing, onyx eyes still seemed to bore into her soul as they did before. His shoulders had broadened, and his muscles were well defined. She took in all of his changes, and put on a cocky grin, knowing he was looking her over too; the scar on his neck from his curse mark had grown in size. His eyes became enticing as he smirked.

"I'm not the only one it seems." Sasuke acknowledged.

Sakura had changed drastically since he had last seen her. Her short pink locks were now grown out to the mid-back. Her emerald green eyes, which used to sparkle so marvelously, were now dull and void of any emotion. She had grown in height, and her hour-glass curves showed through her Black Ops Uniform. Sakura was beautiful.

They started to circle each other.

"So what brings me the grat honor of meeting you here tonight, ?" She smirked. She already knew why he was there.

Sasuke's eyes turned cold. His smirk was replaced by a fierce scowl.

"Don't play this crap Sakura. You know exactly why I'm here. Give it back, now." Sasuke growled; There was no trace of the earlier playfulness in his voice.

"Oh… you mean.. this?" Sakura said shifting the weight off her back and tossing the Katana onto the ground next to her.

Sasuke reacted. He transported behind her, but Sakura was ten times faster. She grabbed his arm headed for the Katana and twisted it around his back, drawing her kunai knife at the same time. Pressing the metal into his throat slightly. Suddenly, Sasuke was gone from her grasp, and she was flipped around, where Sasuke kneed her in the stomach.

Sakura retched, but got back up silently.

"I have no time for games Sakura." snarled Sasuke, "Besides you're still that weak little girl I remember."

Sakura laughed quietly to herself. Sasuke approached the katana on the ground. Unaware that Sakura was keeping an eye on his every move.

He grabbed his katana, and then… It wasn't there anymore.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted.

Sakura laughed "Is that all you say? If it is I hope when you get back to Konaha you'll expand your vocabulary."

"I'm not going back." Sasuke hissed "If that's the only reason you stole my Katana I'd like it back now. Not this fake crap. The real one Sakura. Where is it?"

"Oh no no no, I didn't expect you to come back on your own. How stupid do you think the Leaf Village is? They'd only send the best ninja on a mission like this. Do you want to know what this mission is ranked Sasuke?" Sakura smiled eagerly.

Sasuke stared at her expectantly.

"Triple A, and this is my 7th mission of that level. By the way, congratulations; You're the last Uchiha alive to this day." Sakura reached into her pocket, and pulled out Itachi's missing-nin head band. "I really do hope you're more entertaining then you're brother was. I was disappointed at how easily I defeated him."

Sakura stopped examining her fingernails, and looked up to see his eyes becoming red.

'Good, that means I struck a nerve.' Sakura reflected

"I don't believe you." Sasuke glared, his eyes cold.

She threw itachi's headband at him, and Sasuke let it slam into his hands with a loud SLAP-ing noise. He examined the head band, and then he charged Sakura.

Sakura reacted the way she was trained too, she waited until the last second, and side stepped his attempt to punch her. She grabbed his arm, and elbowed him into the ribs. Sasuke stammered back slightly, but then was back on his game. Sasuke flew towards Sakura, throwing a couple of ninja stars with explosive tags on them. They exploded leaving her shrouded in a cloud of dust.

Sasuke ran around the circle, occasionally attacking leaving only small, but deep cuts on Sakura's skin. Sakura made some hand symbols and in her head recited the jutsu she had been taught by Tusande.

"Kai" She screamed, and suddenly there was a force field around her, pushing the cloud of smoke, and Sasuke away from her. The impact caught Sasuke off guard and he went tumbling to the ground, just barely flipping over in time to see Sakura fly towards him. She got one clean punch on his face before he was up, and circling her again. He started to make familiar hand signs.

She smirked and spit on the ground.

"So what was that about being a weak, little girl?" She emphasized the last few words, and flung herself backwards, using a tree to push herself forward towards Sasuke, right as Sasuke blew out his signature fire breathing technique.

The tree behind them caught on fire, and Sasuke turned looking around for his assailant. She was hidden in the tree's above him somewhere, he could sense that much. He slid backwards, but decided to go for another tactic.

"I know it's not here Sakura. Where is my real Katana?" He snarled.

Sakura flew from the tree that he wasn't facing, with a light green light flooding from her hands.

"It's back in Konaha already." She smirked as she managed to get behind him"And you're coming back if I have to drag you."

Sakura smacked him the the head with the light source, and for Sasuke everything went black. He woke up a few days later...in Konaha hospital...being treated by none other then the medic-nin that had dragged him home.
