Hello! This is cuteakane. This is my first Naruto fic. (So please be nice.) Please r/r! I'll try and make it sound like them. Sadly, I don't own any Naruto. This story takes place after Tsunade becomes hokage. No couples!

An Enemy is Always an Enemy

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were on the usual bridge waiting for Kakashi-sensei.

"Mou. He's late again!" whined Naruto angrily.

Suddenly, who should pop out of nowhere, but the one and only, Kakashi!

"YOU"RE LATE!" Screamed Sakura and Naruto pointing an accused finger at him.

"Hi! Sorry I'm late. I was helping out an old lady!" said a cheerful Kakashi

"Excuses, Excuses! You should be ashamed of yourself." Said Naruto immensely annoyed.

"Come, our guest is waiting." He said walking to the gate that surrounds the town. (A/N. I don't really know if the fence surrounds Konoha.)

Soon they saw a figure standing by the gate. As they got closer they realized it was a beautiful young girl about as old as our young heroes. She had long, dark, curly, hair that reached her knees. She was wearing a beautiful silky dress that reached her ankles. She had a cute smile with beautiful emerald eyes, on a perfectly round face. When Naruto saw her he felt his jaw drop. She's so cute! (Not to mention hot.) Sasuke's face had not twitched a bit. But he was sorta surprised that they had to escort a young lady instead of an old man. Sakura, however, felt her eyes twitch uncontrollably.

"Why hello! My name is Emi! I shall and will have great honor walking with you back to my village." She said smiling sweetly.

Oh great. Another one of her famous smiles and speeches. How FAKE! Thought Sakura full of disgust.

"My name is N-Naruto. Can I h-h-have your autograph?" He stammered blushing.

Giggling, Emi said, "sure. And what is your name?" she asked looking at Sasuke.

"Uchilla. Sasuke." He replied unemotionally.

"Nice to meet you, Sasuke. Shall we proceed?" Sakura noticed that Emi has not asked her for her name. (A/N: She already knew Kakashi's name. She was introduced to him by Tsunade) Good. It's better that way. Soon they were headed to Emi's small village. Emi had come to Konoha for some shopping. (And flirting with any boy she met.)

On the road, Emi had been very close to Sasuke. " Sasuke-sama?"

"Hn?"

"Will you protect me? Will you make sure that I don't get one little scratch or bruise?"

Oh, puh-lease. Thought Sakura bitterly.

"I have to. It's my mission." Said Sasuke looking on with an unemotional face. Suddenly, Emi embraced Sasuke really hard. "SASUKE-SAMA!" Shouted Emi and Naruto. (Though Emi really shrieked dreamily. Naruto didn't use 'sama') Sakura and Kakashi felt their eyes widened. (Sakura's eyes were as big as saucers) She's doing that to annoy the crap outta me! She growled fuming. Damn, she's good.

"Fine. Let go!" he said angrily, prying her fingers and arms off of him. Great. Just what I needed. Another irritating, giggling girl bothering me. Damn it, Sasuke! Always getting the attention! Thought Naruto jealously. In a huge huff, Sakura and Naruto took lead. What's with them?

After the sun disappeared, Kakashi broke the sound of Emi cooing Sasuke. "That's all the walking we'll do for now. Naruto, go get firewood, Sasuke you and I will scout the area, and Sakura you set up camp and watch Emi." And with that, they did as told, with Sakura glaring daggers at Kakashi.

"My, my. You're companion, Sasuke-sama, is such a hottie. I can't believe you, an ugly tomboy, got on the team of my Sasuke-sama." She said dreamily. Sakura flinched. "At least I am on his team. And he's not 'you're Sasuke-sama'!" Sakura snapped back. "Why couldn't you have gone home yourself Emi!"

"Why, Sakura-chan, you know that this world is full of traps and scary bandits. Besides, why would I go by myself since I have an opportunity of having more lovers drool at my feet?" she said innocently. "You haven't changed a bit, stupid spoiled cousin," Sakura said disgusted. As much as I hate it, it's true. That stupid flirtiest girl is my distant cousin. Emi's dad is Sakura's mom's brother-in-law. (A/N that can be true right?) "How's your mom and them?" asked Sakura seriously stopping her work to look at Emi. "Oh, everything's normal. My mom and dad are making big money, boys are constantly coming over, the usual."

"Emi, I don't care about Naruto, but stay away from Sasuke-kun!" "No." Sakura growled threateningly. Before Sakura could reply, Naruto came back. He must have noticed the tension between Sakura and Emi, because he backed away. "Uh, is something wrong?" "SHADDUP!" screamed Sakura furiously. "Now, Sakura-san, you shouldn't talk to Naruto-kun like that." Emi said innocently. "Grrrr." Soon Kakashi came back with Sasuke. "This place seems safe." Kakashi stated. Soon, they were all in their tents with Sasuke on the first watch. Damn that Emi! Sakura could not sleep at all. The thought of Emi and Sasuke together terrified her. She had to talk to Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun?" she asked a sad look on her face. "Why aren't you asleep?"

"I can't sleep. I was wondering. What do you think of that stu- Emi?" "An annoying girl like all the others." Phew. Assured that Sasuke would never fall in love with Emi, Sakura got back in her tent. "Sasuke-kun?" "Hn?" "Arigato." And soon, Sakura was fast asleep.

Meanwhile, in Konoha, a dark figure approached the Haruno household. It easily sneaked inside the house. CRASH! Then a blood-hurdling scream was heard. Heh-heh-heh. That was quite easy. Now, I shall meet that bastard's daughter, Sakura. Heh. The dark figure, with a middle-aged woman slung over his shoulder, jumped away into the moonlight.

What did you think? I will accept any reviews. Negative ones, positive ones, any review! Please tell me if I did good or bad. Should I continue? Please tell me if I misspelled any names, words, and exc. Thanks! Wait! Should I make this a Sasuke &Sakura? I just don't know.
