Well, this is my first story. It may be a little (okay very) sucky but thats ok! I plan to improve! I prefer SasuSaku stories with extra pairings. Basically, I hate Karin. If she comes in (she might. I have an idea breawing) she'd either die (but i'm not that cruel) or end up with Suigetsu.
Flames will leave me very un-happy...and you probably won't get a very happy reply to them. Reviews are wanted but not needed.
Disclamer: T-T Me no own Naruto
I'm on an Anbu mission, just like any other day, as the Medic-Nin, obviously. I'm heading out in the forest, leaving after everyone else. Tsunade-shishou trusts in my abilities too much. This time there are 2 S-ranks missing Nins in the area and the Elders didn't want to pass this opportunity up. They also had to insist on four extra Anbu to help us. One of which is our captain.
Flashback
"The Rookie Nine can handle this easily!" Tsunade-shishou argued.
"No, Tsunade we have made up our minds." The elderly woman stated. Shishou charged out of the room saying words that made the water evaporate.
"Shishou, I know for a fact we can handle this. We are the best you can find but, 2 S-class criminals will put up a big fight. Help is nice." I said. If you haven't figured it out, my name is Haruno Sakura! "I need to calm her down before she breaks another window."I thought. "They're just trying to protect us." I was stepping on un-even ground. Who knows how this'll turn out.
"I know Sakura" She sighed. Phew! That was close.
End Flashback
"Whoever these guys are, they should start praying." I thought with a silent smirk on my face. "Tch. I should have read the mission file this time, I wanna know who the unlucky bastards are." None of the Rookie Nine ever read those anymore, unless they were captain of a mission. They were too boring and we never had time. Everything is boring without-
"Not allowed!" I growled to myself. Those thought were not allowed, ever. Especially on a mission. The mission comes first. But speaking of the mission, why are all of the Rookie Nine going? With four Anbu? It just doesn't make sense. We could all handle a measly S-class criminal.
I was nearing the meeting spot so I quickly put my emotions back into the mask of the emotionless girl everyone pitied.
"I pity them. They waste their time on me." I said under my breathe. I was getting close and I could tell I was the last one to show up. So not to look suspicious we departed from different parts of the village at different times. I can visually see it now and everyone is a little tense, even Naruto. He may not be hyper any more but he has a smug look most of the time.
"Something's up." I thought silently, not letting my face or eyes give me away. "They probably won't willingly tell me what's going on but I'll get it out of one of them." There they are. All our-
"Not allowed!! They are my friends! Not his!" Venom was dripping off my thoughts. Not like any of that bugged me. But I was getting annoyed, ever so slightly. Since when does anyone from the Rookie Nine use emotion?! ….Never. Hinata wasn't with the group. Looks as if she strayed off. Shikamru was also looking around….probably for her. Wait. "Since when is no one freaking out over protecting Hinata? She may not need it but it never stopped them before. Neji isn't worrying, and Shikamaru only looks peeved. We never see each other anymore. Always training or going missions to help the village or find-
"We all here now?" The Anbu captain asked as Hinata joined the rest of us. She looked at me with worry in her eyes…yes; I noticed it out of the corner of my eye. She didn't notice that I did. I could tell from the look in the Anbu captain's eyes that we were the last people he wanted on a mission. He looked bored. Well let me tell you something…I don't want to be here either! But can he blame the Hokage? We are the best of the best. You'll never find someone better. And we were the last Jounin in the village, available for a mission, at the time. "Well I'm going to assume you all read the mission file." He gave me a look as he said he knew I didn't read it.
"Creep. Wait, why is he looking at me? Doesn't he think I read it? Did everyone else?" I debated silently while he kept talking. But I did notice other talking.
"-Look it's the Rookie Nine!" Two girls gossiped. I was expecting at least that much. I ignorantly ignored them as I walked over to the group of statues known as friends. I think their faces might be stuck that way…
"….and we should start moving soon. Neji, Kiba, and Shino you'll come with me and-" The captain was cut off
"Why do they get to go and not me?" Naruto asked. We all stared at him. If possible Neji and Shino were quieter than they used to be, and Naruto was quieter than them combined!
"Because they can handle this without compromising our mission. Just like you'll handle your guy."
"You know they want me. I am his target. Are you trying to kill us?" Did I mention everyone knows Naruto is a Jinchuuriki.
"So I guess we're meeting some Akastuki." I thought.
"No. I want the strongest against the strongest. That's why you and Sakura are going," I ignored my name, "and why are they," He said pointing to Kiba, Shino, and Neji, "are going with me."
"….."…. "Fine." We all knew Naruto was done, he probably forgot how to fight back like he used to.
"Now, as I was saying, you six will come with me," he said pointing at the three girls and Kiba, Shino, and Neji, "The rest of you will be led by Hinata, She can track your target easily and so can Sakura. Now gather round," He said, motioning us with his hand, "You'll be going here. We'll be going here. We won't be that far apart, so If you need help use these flares. Now Shikamaru," Hinata looks flustered, that's something I haven't seen for a while. As she approached me I diverted my attention, I didn't want her to hold back or suspect anything. "Hinata you too, oh and Neji!" "That pisses me off! She was gonna tell me what the hells going on too!! Maybe Chouji- hey wait! Where are they going?"
The rest off them were walking off too. I guessed I wasn't supposed to go with so I found a very uncomfortable tree to sit by….just great.
"Get back here! We are leaving now!" The captain called after the others. When he said "leave" they were back in a flash. "I don't want you to stick out. So I got some extra ANBU Uniforms. Now you won't exactly be pin-pointed." We scowled at the word "easy". We may look like an easy group but never underestimate your opponent. Anger may be an exception to the "expressionless-ness".
I hissed under my breathe as he handed me a cat mask. A CAT! I hate them with a vengeance! They're arrogant, stuck up, think they're so much better than us, stupid, ego-tistic, and THEY IGNORE YOU! Only when they want to will they acknowledge you! You and you existence!! Just like HIM!
"ARGGHHH!! Why is this happening?! I have never thought about him this much in a months' time! Let alone a year!" The look on my face must have been a Kodak moment because everyone and I mean everyone was staring at me. "Did I say that out loud?"
"No"
"You?"
"I have a name you know" Naturally my Inner would respond like that!
"I thought you were mad at me." She never really liked to come out anymore. She was a little ticked after I cut my hair.
"I was drawn by a familiar presence, but I just can't figure out who it is. I might be stuck here until you meet them. It's hard to get out and stay there."
"WHAT?!" Oops. I let that one slip out. Good thing I wandered from camp, but naturally they still heard me.
"Nice," yawn, "Well, I'm going to sleep, have fun"
She left. Finally some silence….Well not anymore.
"What's wrong?" Naruto, of course. He sounds as mono-tone as usual. Well I won't lose! I'll speak like that too!
"Nothing" I wanted the silence back, but that won't happen anytime soon.
I was zoning out now. Probably only for a couple of minutes.
"Hoi, Sakura. We're leaving." Finally. Time to go see what I obviously don't know about.
So not the best or longest in the world but I will get better! Grammar-bad spelling- o.k. my sanity-unknown lol Sedona
