Sugar

"Oi! Sakura-chan! Onee-chan is here to pick you up!" A girl called out walking up to team seven as they finished up their training for the day.

The young pink-hair groaned and slapped her forehead when she caught sight of her sister, knowing she was far too close for the girl to run and meet up with and drag away peacefully so that she wouldn't embarrass Sakura in front of her team. For a moment she wondered if it might be worth a shot, but her sister had already made it a few feet from the group and it became clear to the young kunoichi that it was a hopeless endeavor, though that wouldn't stop her from doing her best to rush her irritating sister home before she could say anything that might damage her reputation in the eyes of her teammates, one in particular.

The girl who had gained everyone's attention was much less a girl and more of a woman, whose voluptuous curves threatened to pop the seams of her clothing along with the eyes of any man that dare look too long. She certainly made her younger sister look pale in comparison, literally. Compared to Sakura's bright bubblegum pink hair and pale green eyes, the girl in question had much darker pink, almost red, locks going down her back in a long and high ponytail, complimented with dark turquoise eyes.

"Ah Onee-chan, thank you for coming to get me." Sakura said sweetly with her best smile then took the older girl's arm and tugged her in the direction she came. "We better be off then, bye everyone!" Sakura's efforts were in fact in vain, however, her sister being much stronger was able to resist her pulling easily.

"Now hold on a sec sis, I've never had a chance to meet your team before." the girl said and smiled cheerfully as the group of boys, giving them a wave of greeting. "Hi there! I'm Sakura-chan's sister, Haruno Sato. I'm afraid my dear little sister has failed to tell me much about you all but I'm sure I will be able to guess who is who."

The youngest male members of team seven looked at each other then returned their gaze back to the woman claiming to be Sakura's sister. The most odd part of this is that neither of them even knew their teammate had a sister, let alone anything about her, so she had a bit of an advantage over them in the familiarity field.

Naruto poked his thumb into his chest and gave Sato a cheeky grin. "Alright then lady, who am I? I bet Sakura told you a bunch about me at least."

Sato rubbed her chin as she eyed the blond, making him think she had to put a lot of thought into his identity. "You must be... that knucklehead that gives my sis all those headaches, huh?" Poor Naruto visibly drooped at that description but this only made the eldest Haruno laugh. "Oh don't look so glum," she said and pinched his cheek while giving him a wink. "I bet cha Sakura-chan just hasn't noticed what a great guy you are yet, Naruto."

She dragged out the boy's name in a sweet and loving voice, making him blush as the cheeky grin returned to his face. "Well you'd probably win that bet." Naruto said, rubbing the back of his neck, his confidence in himself completely returned.

A loud groan left the pinket's lips as she bumps into her sister's hip. "Come on Onee-chan, stop saying weird things and getting Naruto all worked up. Just say hi and bye and lets go."

Sato ruffled her sister's hair affectionately, though the pinket didn't seem to enjoy it. "Alright, alright, just hold your little horses and this will be over with soon enough." Her eyes moved on to the Uchiha of the group, and a small smirk graced her lips for only a moment. "You must be Uchiha Sasuke, Sakura-chan rarely ever mentions you." Sakura relaxed a little, thinking that wasn't as bad as it could have been. "Whenever she does she is moved to the point of being speechless, sometimes even tears." Relaxed too soon.

Sakura laughed nervously and pumped her sister's hip again. "Oh Onee-chan you make the best jokes, doesn't she Sasuke-kun?" No one seemed to find the humor as well as Sakura had hoped so she gave up and quieted down at her sister's side.

Sasuke gave a curt "hn" and a nod in Sato's direction so she took that as his acknowledgment and smiled to him.

The last member of the team, the ever cool and emotionless leader, had seemed to be ignoring the entire event with his nose in his book. Though Kakashi was reading like always, he was paying close attention to the interactions of this new person and his young wards. Like a good leader Kakashi had done his research on his students so it was no shock to him that Sakura had an elder sister, he had actually heard things about her on the ninja grapevine and knew her to be a fairly capable ninja with a rare specialty of poisons and work in the seduction field. She even had a place in the bingo books, known as Spider Kiss. Of course this was all to be completely secret to anyone outside of her missions and the hokage. He knew better than to discuss her work with her, however, no ninja considered that topic to be anywhere near the range of pleasantries.

"And Konoha's own Copy Ninja Kakashi."

Well it appeared she didn't mind throwing around nicknames, Kakashi thought as he had to stifle a quick laugh, though he did let himself give an embarrassed closed eye grin though she would have no chance of seeing it. "Seems you've heard of me, eh?"

"Of course! Who hasn't?" Sato gushed slightly with a wide grin. "It's a great pleasure to meet you officially." She then gave a respectful bow to which he nodded his head in a bow as well.

"Yes well, it is a pleasure to meet you as well, Sato-san." Kakashi answered with all the curt politeness he knew to show.

"Alright Onee-chan, you've met everyone, I really think we aught to go now." Sakura fussed to her sister, tugging on her arm once again.

Sato huffed with an amused laugh right behind it. "Oh alright Sakura, geeze, you'd think you were embarrassed of me or something."

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Yeah, sure, nothing like that."

The elder Haruno gave team seven a wave as she followed her sister down the road. "It was great meeting you all, we'll have to get together some time!"

Once the girls were out of sight, Naruto snorted and smiled at where they had just been. "Sato-chan isn't anything like Sakura-chan, she sure is pretty though."

Sasuke grunted, which was most likely his version of a laugh as a grin appeared on his face. "Just as obnoxious."

The boys went their separate ways and Kakashi found his thoughts lingering on the eldest Haruno as he walked home in silence. If he remembered right she was only a chunin, but still a capable ninja as long as she had her poisons and was called upon for many high ranked and classified missions, at least this is what he heard. He could see why she was in the seduction field, her figure and friendly demeanor qualified her for it well. Though the seduction field wasn't one for all, and it was looked down on by many ninja, fine and capable young kunoichi's bringing themselves down to the levels of mere whores wasn't something everyone agreed with. Sato-san must be in her late teens or early twenties at most, but of course all the seduction class girls were young, it was simply the way it worked.

"To think... that girl could kill a man with a single kiss."

"Women too."

Kakashi stopped himself from jolting in surprise at the girl's voice. He had only been mumbling to himself and wasn't even aware that anyone was near him. He turned to find Haruno Sato grinning at him. Why was she even there? He wondered, keeping his thoughts to himself, learning what mumbling had got him last time.

"Mama forgot ginger, so I offered to run to the store." Sato explained, holding up a shopping bag. "I saw you and wanted to come say hi, but you were... quite wrapped up in your thoughts it appeared."

Kakashi glanced at the sky and noticed the sun was on it's way down. Had he really been walking for that long? Must have lost track of time in the mess of his thoughts, he even went passed his apartment building and ended up in the shopping district. Sato seemed to have found a lot of humor in this, there was obvious struggle on her face as she tried hard not to let out a laugh or let her grin grow too large.

With a clear of his throat, Kakashi nodded to the girl. "Yes well, there's nothing better than a walk around the village to think about things."

"Are my abilities a good thought topic?" she asked bluntly, not in the slightest bit fazed by the topic. "I know it's a real puzzle to many."

"I've heard things, certainly an original technique." Kakashi answered, having regained his composure.

Sato laughed softly. "Whatever gets the job done, you know?"

The copy ninja nodded at her, knowing exactly what she meant. "The life of a ninja, always getting the job done."

Sato's eyes gazed off into the distance, having rested on the setting sun. "Yes, such is the life we lead."

Kakashi looked at her face then, seeing something behind those eyes and that distant gaze. She seemed to be returning to a moment in her past, but what? He tried to ignore the nagging wonder in his mind, but found it practically impossible as the look on her face dragged him further into his own curiosities. It finally broke when she turned back to him with her normal smile and friendly gaze.

"Well I best be off before Mama has a fit and starts throwing things. Besides, been a while since I spent some time with my family." She said with a giggle and waved at the man. "Later Kakashi-kun."

Kakashi watched her retreating form for only a few moments then forced himself to turn and make his way to his apartment once again. He could only guess what his thoughts would be filled with on the trip back.

I'm not sure where this came from... in all honesty. I was listening to some new music and thought of Kakashi then this image of Sato showed up in my head, I saw her singing the song I was listening to even, and then my mind went to work on creating her character. Just happened! lol

Sato means sugar by the way, thought you might find that interesting. I don't know how far I will take this, might just stay a one-shot but you never know. Anyway let me know what you think! Is Sato interesting? What would YOU do with this character? She has some issues in her past that I might have her face... hmm...

Review please! :)
