Hey peeps! Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've had a super busy summer. I will update Anniversary soon but my OTP has changed toward sasu/saku. Don't worry, I still love Itasaku. Anyways, enjoy this if you can! I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Mizuki sighed heavily as she sped through the trees on the way to Konoha. The journey from the Sand village to the Leaf was extremely long and she had not stopped to rest once because she had wanted to make it to Konoha before nightfall. There is no way I'm camping outdoors. My clothes and hair would be ruined Mizuki thought disdainfully. Though,as tired as Mizuki was, her beauty was hardly diminished. She long curly red hair still retained its shiny luster and her green eyes were dark and seductive. And her short ninja top revealed a strip of smooth and toned stomach; her shorts displayed her long tanned legs….

Mizuki inwardly celebrated as she saw the Konoha gate half a mile ahead. With the last of her energy, she pushed on and did not stop till she reached the guards. To say the two guards, Kiyoshi and Tarou were engrossed with her would be an understatement and Mizuki knew it too. Mizuki smirked knowing just how men lusted after her.

"Hello gentlemen," Mizuki said her voice smooth and velvety. She didn't mind that men eyed her like a piece of meat because she knew she could use it to her advantage.

"Would one of you kind men please escort me the Hokage's tower?" Mizuki asked sweetly. The faster I get there, the faster I can get something to eat cause I'm absolutely starved! Kiyoshi nodded curtly, not trusting himself to speak for fear of stuttering and sounding like a total retard. Who is that gorgeous woman? Man, I would sure like to bang her… Kiyoshi thought to himself as he led her to the Hokage's tower. Meanwhile, Tarou cursed himself inwardly for not reacting fast enough to accept Mizuki's offer of showing her to the Hokage's tower.

Kiyoshi knocked on Tsunade's door and tried to talk in a deeper, manlier voice in hopes of impressing Mizuki "Hokage-sama there is a sand ninja here to see you,"

"Come in," drawled Tsunade. Kiyoshi opened the door and gestured for Mizuki to go through first. When she winked at him, he nearly fainted right there.

"Hello Hokage-sama. I am honored to meet you at last," Mizuki said bowing deeply.

"You must be Gaara's long-lost cousin. Mizuki, am I right?" Tsunade said, inspecting Mizuki. Her red hair and green eyes was definitely a trait of Gaara's bloodline.

"Yes. I am," Mizuki said respectfully. Inwardly, Mizuki was gaping at Tsunade's large breasts. HOT DAMN! Why can't I have melons like those? Mizuki whined. If she had boobs like those, she would be considered a walked wet dream to men. Her boobs were large but not Tsunade-size large Mizuki thought jealously.

"I welcome you to the Leaf Village. Gaara has informed me that you have come to forge treaties with the Sand and Leaf to strengthen our alliance. Is that correct?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes! I think it would be excellent to have 2 of the greatest ninja villages as allies!" Mizuki gushed even though it was all bullshit. Truthfully, she just wanted to get away from Sand politics and just take a VACATION. She had cleverly told Gaara that she wanted to go to Konoha to strengthen bonds between them. But in reality, she would just sit back and relax and enjoy the cool weather Konoha provided. It was a nice change from the burning heat and violent sandstorms.

"It would," Tsunade agreed. Noticing how tired Mizuki seemed to be, Tsunade decided to take pity and end the conversation there. That way, Mizuki could rest and she could drink more sake. It was a win-win situation!

"Kiyoshi, why don't you take Mizuki to Ichiraku so she could eat? And after that, she can go and get some rest," Tsunade said, dismissing them with a wave of her hand.

"Thank you for welcoming to your village Hokage-sama," Mizuki said, bowing deeply before exiting.

"The pleasure is all mine, Mizuki. Enjoy your stay here," Tsunade smiled. At least this girl has some manners.

Kiyoshi blushed furiously as Mizuki smiled at him. He was walked with her to Ichiraku and he was still awe-struck by her beauty. Those eyes, that hair, her breasts, those legs…..Kiyoshi sighed dreamily. With that thought in mind, Kiyoshi turned to her and tried to ask her out. "Try" being the key word.

"Mizuki-san, I just wanted to know….well I was wondering if you uh… maybe wanted to….," Kiyoshi trailed off, not knowing how to proceed.

"Yes?" Mizuki encouraged sweetly. Poor guy. I bet he just needs a good fuck to loosen him up. Mizuki smirked thinking of all the things she could show him.

"Well, I want to go out with yo-" Kiyoshi was cut off with a loud yell belonging to the Konoha's number one hyperactive ninja: Uzumaki Naruto.

"Oi Teme! That hurt!" Naruto yowled as Sasuke hit him over the head.

"Che. You were being an idiot," Sasuke said bluntly.

"Hey! Watch it you bastard! You're the one who was staring lovingly at Saku-" Naruto started to say but was cut off with a rude glare from none other but the Haruno Sakura.

"Naruto, stop acting so childish. And Sasuke, stop hitting Naruto. You're making more work for me when I'm the one who has to heal him," Sakura said sternly. As you could see, Sakura had already grown out of her childhood crush on Sasuke. Well maybe not all the way. She cared deeply for him, but she stopped fangirling about him a long time ago. She had accepted the fact that Sasuke had changed after coming back to Konoha.

2 years ago, Sasuke was found by Fire country's border, bleeding horribly. Had he not been found by Naruto the time Naruto rescued him, he surely would have died. After killing Orochimaru and Itachi, Sasuke had finally decided to return home. But his fight with Itachi had left him so injured and chakra depleted that he became immobilized and waited for death to come. It was by pure luck that Naruto, Kakashi, and Sai had been coming back from a mission and spotted a near-dead Sasuke. Sakura did not welcome Sasuke with open arms when she first saw him. In fact, it was quite the opposite. She gave him silent treatment for more than a year. Even after Sasuke's probation, Sakura still ignored him. The ice had finally started to melt when Naruto groveled to Sakura on Sasuke's behalf. After a year and a half, Sakura finally started letting Sasuke into her life again. She sparred with him. She ate with him. But she refused to treat him like the mindless fangirl she used to be.

Ironically, it was Sasuke who started to notice Sakura when he came back to Konoha. When she was not being so mind-boggling annoying, Sasuke observed that Sakura was quite…beautiful. Her medium-length pink hair was unique and silky. Her bright viridian eyes were cheerful and happy. But somehow when she looked at him, her eyes became darker and sadder. Sasuke did not like that. He did not like it one bit. He also didn't like the fact that Sakura was making him feel…things. He wasn't falling for her. Was he? Or had he already fallen? UGH! This is what had gotten him into the argument with the dobe in the first place! Sasuke had been admirin- no not admiring. Just looking at Sakura's hair and not paying attention to Naruto's tale of getting past Hizashi and trying to court Hinata. And Naruto had accused Sasuke of staring at sakura for the past 15 minutes…..

Mizuki was not used to gaping at men. Usually it was the other way around. But when she layed eyes on Uchiha Sasuke, all thoughts about Kiyoshi (and any other guy for that matter) flew out the window. Holy shit. DO YOU SEE THOSE ARM MUSCLES? Oh man, I'm about to melt into those sexy eyes. And his hair! It's so bad ass! HE is so bad ass! It makes me wanna jump him right now Mizuki salivated. She was hungry.

And this time, it wasn't for food.
