001
Sasuke Uchiha was laying still in bed, still awake at the later hours at night. It had been a long day of training out his frusterationl. After deciding to destroy Konoha a month back, his thoughts had been scattered all over the place, just like his emotions, not that you could blame him. He was currently located in the Sound Villiage, in a small suite at a 3 star hotel. A blank look adorned his face as he thought about his plan for Konoha, which included he'd most likely come across his ex team mates. Esspectially since Naruto was now appointed Hokage. Sasuke didn't really know what Sakura had become, he figured she probably worked at the hospital. He smirked, realizing she never was one for combat. Sasuke than thought about the last time he'd seen her whilst turning in the bed to lie on his back. He almost convinced her to murder Karin, just as he was going to just kill Sakura. Something clicked in his mind, or better yet- unhinged when this memory swept his thoughts. Not that the young Uchiha noticed.
He thought of killing Sakura, and just how he would do it when the time came. How else could he destroy Konoha without killing the shinobi who protect it? He'd have to bring all of his team along, even Karin who cringed whenever he approched her. Sasuke was both surprised and disgusted when she chose to stay apart of the team even after she knew he tried to kill her. She didn't act as clingy and irritating as before, and numerous times she has tried proving herself worthy to him. She even gave up her virginity for him, offering her body to satisfy him when Suigetsu slipped a drug in his drink as a prank one night that increased his blood flow and made him extremely sexually frusterated.
'Pathetic.' He thought, grinding his teeth and deciding to take a hot bath before attempting to sleep again. His thoughts lingered back to his former pink-haired team mate again, and wondered if she had lost her virginity yet either. Which was a strange question to cross his mind, because usually his old teamates never crossed his mind. He sudduenly hoped she had, or that someone had stole it from her. Maybe that would make her less of a pain and annoying little girl. The scene of Sakura being raped played in his mind as he made his way off the bed and towards the bathroom door. A couple of different storys ran through his head. Maybe a seduction mission gone wrong, or perhaps one day she was on a mission alone in the forest and a group of men cornered her, tearing off her clothing and disabling her weapons, rendering her useless and weak. Sasuke's hand grasped the hot water faucet on the bath and turned it on as he wondered if Naruto had happened to covet the little cherry blossom, that during childhood he'd always wanted. That thought didn't satisfy him as much as Sakura getting raped. Sakura didn't deserve that much happiness, she hadn't faught tooth and nail to deserve such a good life and happines. Hell, if no one had deflowed the cherry blossom herself, he almost thought about doing it himself at this point. It was just pointless anger, but it was anger none the less and Sasuke Uchiha was notorious for his anger.
The bath filled up quickly, so he shut off the water as soon as the water reached a sufficient height in the tub. Undressing himself, Sasuke inwardly smirked, thinking about how he would steal Sakura's viginity if options came to that. He'd want to cause her pain as he did so, brutality was a necessity if he wanted to scar her mentally and physically, and really thats what he wanted. It was a small thought, but it sure manifested in his mind alright. Stepping into the hot water, Sasuke layed down in the tub, his arms resting on either side of the white porcelein bath and his head resting back. Sasuke almost looked relaxed as he plotted his revenge for Konoha, wishing that the oppurtunity to take Sakura Haruno's happiness away from her to come up, sometime soon.
Sakura Haruno awoke in the morning located in the whirlpool country feeling terrible. It had rained all night, causing her to get the worst night's sleep shes had in years and since she was far from any village yet, she couldn't very well walk in the dead of night with it pouring rain outside. Her anbu uniform and mask were folded neatly beside her sleeping bag, ontop of her small travel bag which consisted of a couple basic pain medication, extra clothes, water, and weapons. After her whole run in with Sasuke when he tried to kill her after he tried convincing her to kill some girl, she realised that she really didn't need to base her life on whether or not Sasuke loved her and having that whole appifanie, she grew up and decided to become Anbu Captain. She wasn't there yet, but no one in Konoha doubted that she wouldn't be there soon as she wore her Tigress anbu mask proudly when on missions. She wanted to be strong, and then to rub it in Sasuke Uchiha's face as she used his own sword to kill him, and yes, Sakura wanted Sasuke dead. Shaking that thought from her head, She decided that after tonight, she'd probably just dispose of the tent and sleeping bag, seeing as they didnt provide her with much help, infact they weighed her down more so. Tomorrow she'll just find a hotel somewhere in the claw country considering it would only take her maybe two and a half hours to get there. It was a regularly long mission just to ensure alliance between the two villages. Naruto wanted to accompany her there, but he unfortunatly is at this moment being suffocated in paper work. No wonder Tsunade drank so much, Naruto was just about pulling out his hair when Sakura left for Kumo in the Lightning country. Good thing that Hinata's there for him, Naruto and the Hyuuga girl had finally started a relationship, which made everyone in town happy for Naruto. Sakura was still single, but she had been hanging out with Gaara a lot lately. He was a reallly good friend to her, and she greatly enjoyed his company whenever she visited the Sand village.
At this point in time, Sakura wasn't aware thats she shared the same destination and goal as her old team mate, which in her case was now extremely dangerous. She would've prepared better if she knew better, but right now, she was going to get some breakfast. When Sakura reached the Village, she discovered a small ramen shop that looked almost exactly like Ichiraku's, so ofcourse that's where she wanted to eat at, smiling to herself when she thought of Konoha and Naruto as she entered the small shop.
The only reason Sasuke planned to go to the Lightning country was because Madara had instructed to form an alliance between Kumo and Oto, in the case that when destroying Konoha, the sound vilage might need help. Gaara was already on Konoha's side no doubt, making the situation a bit more compramising, but to the young Uchiha, it didn't matter. He was on his way to Kumo right now, his team woke up at 6 in the morning to get a head start so they didn't have to stop to sleep in the Whirlpool country and just hit a rest stop in the Claw country. Hopefully Konoha didn't form any sort of friendship already with the Lightning country yet, that would take a little more persuasion. Not that Sasuke wasn't good with persuasion.
"Sasuke, Were now in the whirlpool country." Karin spoke, her eyes flickering to the Uchiha's.
"Can't we stop for something to eat?" Suigetsu whined, strongly disliking the hollow feeting in his stomach from lack of food. Sasuke nodded, also feeling sort of famished. The small village was up ahead, and even though Sasuke didn't normally like eating in town, his stomach was empty, therefore making him in a bad mood. Upon reaching the small village, Sasuke and his team mates stopped at a Sushi place across the street from a ramen place that reminded Sasuke of Ichiraku's, one of the reasons he didn't want to go in. Plus someone was already sitting in one of the stools, and Sasuke would rather eat alone with his team. Juugo ate about five plates of sushi, along with Suigetsu who matched that number with the exception of one suchi role that rolled off the counter and onto the ground. Karin barely ate anything, and Sasuke had about two plates of rice balls. Sasuke was the first to finish, so he left the booth with his hood pulled up as he masked his chakra. Just as he walked out of the small food shop, someone walked out of the Ramen shop across from him. Someone with pink hair, and the brightest emerald eyes you'll ever see. A smile crept onto the Uchiha's face.
Sakura didn't notice Sasuke in the least, she was too worried that after eating a bowl of Ramen she'd be late for her meeting with the 'kage of Kumo and so she rushed down the street, passing miscelllaneous venders and shop's.
Sasuke slipped away from the sushi shop, following the pink haired kanoichi out of the small village. From the looks of it, she was headed towards the lightning country too. Unless Sakura happens to know anyone in the Lightning country, this means Madara was right about Konoha wanting to form an alliance. Sasuke then noticed something about his ex-teammate he didn't care to aknoledge before. She was wearing an anbu uniform, lacking the mask though. She happened to be carrying that in her hand before reaching the edge of the forest to tie up her hair in a pony tail, and slip the cat-like mask on.
'Well well well', Sasuke thought, 'What an enthralling coincidence.' _
