Sakura's POV
I do not own Naruto, but I DO own what they do in this fanfic!
He did it again.
Once more, Sasuke Uchiha has ticked me off to the point of no return.
"Get back here you BASTARD and fight like a shinobi!!" I was chasing him through the streets of Konoha; my pink hair unfortunately dyed a permanent black.
"Catch me if you can forehead girl!" he shouted, with his stupid smirk still planted on his smug little face.
Here's what happened. Okay, I was taking a shower, right? So I start to shampoo my hair but when I open my eyes there are black streaks running down my body and down the drain. Of course, I screamed so loud Tsunade could here me! But ever since Sasuke came back from Orochimaru, he's been trying to make me explode! He loves it when I get angry, and frankly, I don't care why! I really wish that I could move faster in order to catch the little punk!
But, you have to admit; chasing him has its good points too…like chasing his ass all over town! I mean…come on! He may be a punk, but he has a great ass.
"Shit!" that ninja led me straight into none other that Rock Lee's Dojo. Great. Just great. Tears are gonna be falling and its gonna be attack of the killer hugs from the Taijustu-user.
"Fine! You know what?! I give up! My hair is gonna be black now! Are you Happy??!!?!?!!"
"Very." He said, suddenly appearing out of a tree behind me.
I just gave him a death glare.
He shrugged and pumped chakra into his legs and I didn't see him for the rest of the day.
After running around all day, I was exhausted! I walked up the stairs to my apartment…(Yes, I have an apartment, I AM 17 now…)…and clicked the lock.
"Ugh! I really need to kill him for what he did to my hair! But first…dinner."
I popped some instant ramen in the microwave and began to scheme. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck…
I ruled out burning his house down, because Tsunade would kill me for sure! I also ruled out getting embarrassing pictures and posting them up all over town, but he'd see me take the pictures. Besides, did an Uchiha actually have something to be embarrassed about?
Oh well, I'll deal with it in the morning…
At the training grounds, Sasuke was the first one there. I didn't say a word.
"Ohayo, mini-me!" he mocked.
My eyebrow twitched as I tried not to run full speed and punch his head.
"Whatsamatter…Kyuubi got your tongue?"
"Hey! That's not funny!" Screamed the blonde ninja, walking towards the bridge surprisingly early for him.
"Whatever, dobe." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
Poof
Kakashi-sensei suddenly appeared in a puff of smoke, actually on time! Something has to be going on, but I should stop worrying about that and start concentrating on my revenge against my former childhood crush!
"Sorry, I'm…oh wait…I am on time…well then, lets get…huh?" Kakashi stared over at Sasuke and me: we were in a death glare contest, and so far, Sasuke was winning…
"Sensei, shouldn't we start training? I mean, Sakura has to pass her jounin exams this time right?" Sasuke said playfully, eyes still locked with mine.
"Shut. UP." I said.
Great. He was doing it again. Taunting me until I finally crack. Well this time he wouldn't get to me. I will make sure of it!
"How many times have you failed, again, Sakura? I stopped counting after 5…" a very large smirk spread across his face, I was so weak! Why can't he just be the butt of the joke once in a while! For once I…BINGO!
A big smile made its way on to my face, not a happy face, but an evil and plotting looking face. Sasuke just looked at me like I was going crazy!
"Actually, I failed 7 times." I said, looking as sweet and innocent as I was when I was 12.
Kakashi and Naruto suddenly got some popcorn and started to enjoy the show between the two shinobi, very interested in seeing what was going to happen next…
"But you know what, Sasuke…" I said reaching down to my kunai holster, "I forget something…"
I took out a kunai and ripped my red shirt down the middle, exposing my mesh t-shirt and my (well developed) 17-year-old body. Sasuke just stared, wondering what the hell I was doing. Perfect!
I took the kunai and tore a little slit in the top of my mesh t-shirt , then tore at the hem of my beige skirt. Then, I pulled my (black) hair back and cut it another inch shorter making it messy and uneven. I reached down to the ground and picked up a handful of dirt, then started rubbing it all over my self. Kakashi, Naruto, and especially Sasuke were just staring, wondering why I was making myself look like I just got back from a dangerous mission. Once I was good and dirty, I looked up and flashed a smile at Sasuke, then I started to skip over past him and made sure I put at least 10 feet in between us, and gathered chakra in my legs to get ready for an escape.
"I forget…when does your probation end?" I said, and then pumped all of my chakra into my feet, running towards the Hokage's office.
All of their eyes grew wide, knowing now what I was planning. Sasuke took no time at all to pump his own chakra and follow me.
"Damn it! She's gonna make it look like I raped her or something!" He pumped extra chakra into his feet and speed off after me, but I had a backup plan!
I turned slightly and headed off into the village streets, I purposely slowed down a little so that he could catch me. And he did! Sasuke pounced on top of me right in the middle of the street.
"Help me! He's got me! Somebody…HELP!" I screamed, (obviously acting since Sasuke had a weird look on his face).
Suddenly, everyone in the village surrounded us, and Sasuke jumped off me with his hands in the air as soon as 3 ANBU members showed up and brought him to the Hokage. I got up and walked to my apartment, faking a limp. Everybody believed I would be okay. I AM a medical ninja after all! As soon as I got there, I jumped in the shower and straightened out my hair. Then I plopped down onto my bed and reminisced about what I just did. I fell asleep wondering what Tsunade-sama was going to do to Sasuke!!!
Meanwhile, at the Hokage's office…
"I'm telling the truth! She framed me! What can I do to make you believe me!??!!"
Sasuke was sitting; well, actually, he was tied to a chair in the Hokage's office trying to get his butt out of trouble.
"Let him go, boy's. He's telling the truth."
"WHA…" said the three ANBU and Sasuke in unison.
Tsunade just stared at them with her 'I'm-the-Hokage-and-you-are-to-do-as-I-say' look on her face.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
They poofed out of the building to resume patrol over the village.
"H-How did you know I wasn't lying?" asked Sasuke.
"When I want to, I can hear other peoples heart beats, yours was regular."
"Oh."
"So, the last remaining Uchiha outdone by my apprentice…" A small smile spread across the Sanin's face.
"It's not funny!"
"OH? Then why does the image of Sakura rubbing dirt all over herself keep popping up into your head? Hmm?"
Sasuke blushed, but caught himself.
"Shut up…wait…how did you know?..."
"Let's just say, you. don't. want. To. know!" she winked.
"Haha! Well, I guess were going to have to get her back then, now won't we?"
Sasuke looked up at the Hokage, a confused look on his face…
"Okay, so here's the plan…"
whisper, whisper, whisper
Sasuke's eyes grow wider as a small smirk spreads across his face malevolently.
The next morning, I woke up, still content about what I did yesterday. Oh, the look on his face was priceless! I wish I had a camera!
After taking a shower (double-checking the shampoo this time) and getting dressed (scanning for possible alterations or itching powder) I made my way to the Konoha hospital, ready to heal anyone in need! (I'm such a good person!!)
"Sakura," called Tsunade, "The hospital will be opening an hour later for a staff meeting, follow me."
Ah, well, I can't exactly argue with the boss, so I complied.
After the meeting was over, Tsunade, Shizune, and me stayed after for breakfast. When suddenly Tsunade screamed.
"Where is it?! I lost it? Oh…phew! It was on the floor. False alarm!"
"Uhh…did I miss something?"
"No, no. I just dropped my most prized possession! It was my brothers…" Tsunade pulled out what looked like a small locket, a tear forming in the corner of he eye as she recalled her long lost brother.
"Don't you have something precious to you?" she asked.
"Well, yeah! Of course I do." I said smiling. I had never told anyone about it so I was a little nervous, but this was my boss, and my Sensei. I could trust her.
But, unbeknownst to me, Sasuke was eavesdropping on the whole conversation…
"Well…what is it?" she asked, apparently curious as to what I was hiding from her.
"My Great-Grandmothers necklace…" I pulled out a long, black chain from underneath my shirt. On it, there was a cross, made entirely out of an emerald the same shade as my eyes, and wrapped around it was a small black rose made from metal. "It belonged to her and has been passed down through generations from mother to daughter in the Haruno family."
"It's beautiful Sakura!" Shizune said.
"Thank you!"
"Well, we should get back to work soon, we wouldn't want innocent lives on our hands!"
Tsunade rushed us out of the door and I went to work ASAP.
behind the door to Tsunade's office…
"Did you see it?"
"Yeah, it was nice."
"Right, now, you know what to do."
"I'll be there as soon as she gets off work."
"Good luck."
"Hn."
Sasuke jumped out of the window and begun to recite the plan over again in his head.
back to Sakura
"I finally finished my hospital rounds!" I signed out of the hospital, and before I knew it, it was already 7:30!
"WOW! I've been busy!"
I walked back home and decided to take another shower. Even being a Medical Ninja, I still hate the smell of a hospital, it just smells weird. I placed my necklace on top of my clothes on my bed. Then I took a nice long, refreshing shower.
Sasuke was outside the window on the ledge, waiting for the opportune moment to go in for the prize.
When I got out of the shower, I sensed another person's chakra outside my bathroom door. I looked through the keyhole to see Sasuke taking my great-grandmother's necklace.
"Why the little…" I said under my breath, but quickly came up with a way to use this to my advantage…Sasuke was up for a rude awakening tomorrow…muahahahaha!!!
