1. Kakashi You Bastard…
I smirked as I watched the Genin fiddle around with their kunai
outside in the school field. Obviously they had no idea how to use a
weapon. It was cute in a way I guess. I could remember when I was
their age. Before Orochimaru and his twisted mind. Kureni, Asuma and I
had been a small team at one point. But everyone else I had known as a
child were long gone. Tch, I wished I could have joined them.
"Anko-sama!" a Chunin called. "Tsunade-sama has called for you!"
"Alright!" I yelled back.
I began to head toward the main building of the Leaf Village, sticking
my hands in my pockets. Mitarashi Anko...that was me. I held a cocky
smirk on my face, my head up high. No one stood in my way, anyone I
could destroy and I could care less. It wasn't a selfish feeling, in
fact, it felt good, free.
"Anko." a familiar voice called me from behind.
"What Kakashi?" I snapped back. Ever since that day...the day he had
let Sasuke be with that curse mark on his skin...was the day I grow
hatred toward the man.
"So you've been called by Lady Tsunade as well?" Kakashi asked,
catching up to me.
"So what?" I shrugged.
"Usually that means we'll have to work together on whatever she has
planned for us." he stuck his hands in his pockets.
"Tch, not in MY plan. Tsunade doesn't know how to arrange things.
She's quite a pafetic Hokage." I rolled my eyes.
"You think you could do better?" he questioned.
"Sure I can," I smirked. "So now you don't have your squad anymore
Kakashi. Got those troublesome Genin off your back."
"They weren't very troublesome. In fact, they were fun to train.
They're interested in everything you say." Kakashi shrugged.
Finally we arrived at the main building of the Leaf Village, entering
the building and then knocking on the Hokage's office door.
"Come in!" Lady Tsunade's voice rang.
Kakashi pushed open the door for me and I entered without a thank you,
he entered after me, looking irritated. What? Did he actually expect
me to say THANK YOU? He should know that's impossible for me.
Ungrateful man.
Tsunade sat with her fingers pressed together. Looking concentrated.
She watched our every movement, which wasn't unusual for her. She was
that way with everyone who walked in the door. Except for maybe
Shizune. I put my hands on my hips, impatient with how long she was
taking to think up the right words to tell us what she wanted. Finally
she spoke.
"Anko, Kakashi, I want you both working under the Black Ops Unit to
help find the Akatsuki Organization. We need more Shinobi, especially
Jonin like yourselves." she folded her hands in her lap.
"Why don't you send those sucky Chunin out there?" I pointed out the
window at Shikamaru and the other Chunin talking outside. "They
haven't gotten any A rank missions in months and they can't exactly
say they're satisfied with C ranks."
"We need Jonin." Tsunade shot at me.
"And another thing," Kakashi added. "Why a man and a woman? Usually
teams are spilt into a three man squad. Two men and a woman."
"Listen up!" Tsunade banged her fist on her desk. "I'm Hokage around
here and you listen to what I say! You both will become Anbu and
search for Akatsuki! I have my reasons for this squad!"
I scratched the back of my head and sighed. She had something up her
sleeve. Probably something I wouldn't like. I gave Kakashi a concerned
glance and he returned it.
"Now get out of my sight." she sighed as she turned around to look out
her wide window at her village.
I shrugged and stuck my hands in my pockets and again Kakashi opened
the door for me and we both walked out of the Hokage's office. What
could that bitch have planned for us? Kakashi and I walked in silence
to nowhere in particular. Suddenly everything was quiet. The Genin had
left to be assigned to some Chunin and new Jonin and everyone seemed
to have abandoned the outside area. That left Kakashi and I alone,
great. I looked up at Kakashi just noticing how tall he was. Although
I didn't did him intimidating. How could I? When I had been an
experiment for Orochimaru. If you were once one of Orochimaru's pigs,
you felt like the emotion of fear had been wiped out of you. Kakashi
shot a glance at me and I shook my head and looked away.
"We should pick up our uniforms." he suggested.
"I guess. That means we'll have to was to the Anbu Black Ops Unit?" I
asked.
"That's right. You've never been an Anbu have you? Well, to start you
off, the Unit is located underneath the village." Kakashi pointed to
the ground.
"And how exactly do we get there?" I folded my arms over my chest.
"Like this." suddenly Kakashi, at the speed off light was under me,
picking me up from my feet and holding me bridal style and we
disappeared just as quickly.
I became flustered within seconds. How could he just pick me up like
that? As soon as we were in destination I pushed away from him.
"Get off me! Who the hell do you think you are? This is exactly why I
never get along with you!" I yelled at him.
"It was only for a second," Kakashi chuckled. "Don't get so worked up."
I shook my head and turned my back to him. Running my hand through my
spiky dark purple blackish hair. The Anbu Unit was a dark place,
filled with hallways and dark rooms. Kakashi led me to the Anbu Black
Ops Uniform Room. I walked in to find that all the uniforms were silk
material. Tight against the skin. Guess Anbu needed things like that
to blend into the dark. Uniforms were only black, white and brown. I
hung a black and brown one over my arm and turned another room.
/
Surprisingly the uniform was quite comfortable. A black long sleeved
top, long black tight pants, a brown vest that was tight against the
skin and all over were secret compartments to kept weapons and
supplies. I strapped my Anbu cat mask to my hip. Pulling my hair back
up into a spiky pony tail I walked out of the dark room to find
Kakashi waiting outside for me. What was wring with me today? It was
like I had never seen a man before. Although I had to say Kakashi was
much more handsome in an Anbu uniform. His muscular arms were bare and
showing. His lean body see through from the uniform. It was similar to
mine only his vest was white matching his spiky white hair. For once I
could see both his eyes. I remembered as a child that many of the
girls were after Hatake Kakashi. But I could care less. Really, when
they faced a world of death and Ninja all they could think about were
men? Now they were dead. Better off.
I strapped my Shriken to my back and put my hands on my hips. I
noticed Kakashi also had a tattoo of a flame on his arm. He looked at
me and his eyes were smiling eyes.
"I never knew you were so...curvy." he smiled, well, according to his
eyes he was smiling.
What. The. HELL? I smacked him hard across the face. "You don't know
when to shut up do you?" I yelled. "Hphm, your students were right,
you ARE a pervert."
"That was a compliment, just to tell you." he rubbed his cheek. I had
smacked the smile off his face.
"That's a nasty compliment." I folded my arms over my chest and began
to walk toward the heart of the hideout.
In Ninja school, we had been forced to study the map of the Anbu Black
Ops Unit. In case the time came that us Shinobi would work with them.
Therefore, I know the place by heart. Only, they had never told us
were the Unit was located, for security reasons.
I remembered Orochimaru had told me of the Anbu Black Ops, they were
soulless creatures. No hearts. No feelings. Were they even human? No
human...no mortal could take that much. I was being instructed to be
one of them for awhile by Tsunade...would that mean I'd become as
soulless as them. Subconiously my expression had become a bit
horrified. Kakashi put his hand on my shoulder.
"You alright?" he asked. "I'll lead if you like."
I shook my head and shrugged his hand off. "I'm fine."
I opened the door to the main room and sitting at in the middle was a
man we called Danzo, if that was his real name anyway. The room seemed
unrealistic since it was more of an intersection underground. Water
flooded out and the intersection was made of wood and Danzo sat in the
middle, meditating. He had been made in charge of the Anbu Black Ops
Unit, even though Lady Tsunade didn't trust him at all.
"Mitarashi Anko...," Danzo said without opening his eyes. "Hatake
Kakashi..."
Kakashi and I saluted. "Yes my lord." we both said.
"I believe that Tsunade must have lied to you," Danzo smiled a
laughing smile. "You two are both Anbu yes..."
"Excuse me Lord Danzo, but you say Lady Tsunade lied?" I questioned.
"Yes. She's entered both of you to breed new Ninja for the next Ninja
generation. I doubt she's told you." he chuckled.
