Lookalike Huranos and a confuse Uchiha

Prologue:

"Where is he Uchiha? Tell me!" Ibiki demanded icily as he tightened his grip on the throat of the teen that sat before him. Sasuke glared up at him in anger then in alarm as his breathing attempts began to grow more desperate. "WHERE IS HE?!" The chief torturer shoved the boy roughly up against a cement wall.

"I don't…know." Came the defiant reply. "Even… if I… did… I wouldn't… tell… you!" the teen gasped. His lungs burned and his vision had begun to grow blurry from the lack oxygen.

Ibiki growled. "You know alright. You were Orochimaru's right hand man. Now tell me where he is!"

Sasuke spat at him. "No!" he growled back. Sasuke never saw the blow coming. The next thing he knew, he was on the floor with blood streaming down the side of his face.

"Come on Uchiha. We both know that you're fighting a losing battle. You're the prisoner and it's my job to get you to talk, so you might as well spill already." Ibiki said sternly.

Sasuke glared up at the man who stood above him. "Sorry to be so much trouble!" she snapped sarcastically. "But it's a lost cause!"

Ibiki's expression darkened considerably. "Fine. Have it your way!"

Sasuke flinched as he was thrown into the opposite wall. This is going to be a long day…

"Oh, no!" the pink haired kunoichi exclaimed as she sprang up from her chair. "I'm sorry Tsunada but there's no way I can do that."

Tsunada frowned at her apprentice. "I thought you were over the Uchiha, Sakura."

"I am." Sakura replied. "But I don't want to get mixed up with him again so soon. I'm afraid that I'll get attached again and I know that the result of that would be getting hurt again." She shook her head. "I'm sorry."

Tsunada sighed and nodded. "I understand. I won't make you interrogate him."

Sakura smiled with relief. "Thank you."

Tsunada frowned again. "But the problem still remains as to who should interrogate him. Ibiki could not get him to respond to physical pain so we figured that we might be able to get a better result by taking advantage of his emotions- that is, if he has any."

Sakura gave her a wry smile. "It's hard to say."

"The only ones that I could think of that might get through to him were you, Kakashi, and Naruto. But Naruto is in Suna visiting Gaara, and Kakashi is out looking for Itachi."

Sakura nodded. "I know and I'm sorry, but I just can't."

"I understand and I respect your reasons." Tsunada paused. "Do you happen to know of anyone else who could get through to him?"

Sakura shook her head. "We were the only friends he had." She sighed. "If only I were stronger. I sometimes wish that their were two of me, one that was just the way I am, and one that was stronger and braver and… Oh I don't know, able to handle life better!"

Before Tsunada had a chance to reply a knock reverberated off of the door. "Come in." Tsunada called.

The door swung open and Shizune poked her head in. "Sorry to bother you Hokage, but theirs a girl out here looking for Sakura."

Sakura and Tsunada exchanged surprised glances. "Who is she?" Sakura inquired.

Shizune shrugged.

Shizune shrugged. "I've never seen her before, but I think she might be related to you Sakura. With the exception of her hair, you two could be twins! She said her name was Mei."

Sakura's jaw dropped. "Oh my gosh! Mei is here?!"

"Who's Mei?" Tsunada asked in confusion.

"She's my cousin and she looks so much like me that it's scary! When we were little, she and I used to die our hair black and go around dressed the same. It was hilarious because no one could tell us apart…" She gasped suddenly. "Oh my gosh! It's perfect!"

"What?" Tsunada queried.

Sakura spoke to Shizune. "Please have her come in." Then she turned sparkling eyes on her teacher. "I think I may know of someone who can get Sasuke to talk after all."

"Let me get this strait. You want me to cut my hair and die it pink, then, masquerading as Sakura, you want me to go in and interrogate the Uchiha brat and get him to tell me the details about the snake nin Orochimaru?" Mei looked from Tsunada to Sakura.

Tsunada nodded. "Yes, you are the only one who might be able to get him to talk. Sakura will tell you everything you will need to know about him." Tsunada studied Mei with a critical eye. The girl who sat before her looked like an exact duplicate of Hurano Sakura, the only exception of her long, brown hair. On the other hand, if you forgot about the looks, they were two very different individuals. Sakura was cheerful and giggly and did not do well under pressure; it wasn't difficult to see why she didn't want to interrogate her old crush. Mei however, was calm and cool. She was tougher than Sakura and her emerald eyes held a special strength that Sakura's lacked. When she had first entered the room she had greeted her cousin warmly and chatted amiably with both Sakura and Tsunada. But when the Hokage had asked if she would be willing to help them with government business she had turned instantly professional. It hadn't taken long for Tsunada to come to the conclusion that she liked the brunette. "Will you do it?" she inquired.

Mei chewed her lower lip thoughtfully. She glanced at her cousin. "Isn't this the guy who left you on that park bench?"

Sakura nodded. "Yeah."

Mei smirked. "In that case, I accept the mission on the condition that I be allowed to mess with the kid a little."

Tsunada looked surprised. "Why?"

Mei glanced at Sakura. "No one hurts a member of my family and gets away with it. This is payback!"

Tsunada couldn't help grinning at the girl's slightly sadistic attitude. "Well, I suppose that would be okay. Just don't mangle him too horribly."

Mei grinned. "You got it! Now that we've got that settled…" She pulled out a Kunai sliced it through her hair so that she now had the exact same hairstyle as Sakura. "Bring on the hair die!"

So what did everybody think? I just came up with this randomly because I thought it would be a fun idea to try out.

Review and let me know what you thought. (No flames please.)
