"Sakura Haruno"

I blinked and faced the man in the shadows. I was called in while I was eating lunch, so it better be important. Someone outside the academy brought in something called 'oreos' and they are delicious!

I can't believe the academy banned us from bringing stuff back from missions!

Mou, I feel guilty breaking the rules.

I shook my head, "Yes sir!" I responded.

"After looking through your records, I was surprised to see you are the academy's top student," I can't see it, but I can feel him smiling, "And at such a young age."

I beamed cheekily. Aww! The headmaster finally realizes the truth!

But wait a minute. He's been going through my records? Eww! How creepy!

Trying to hide my creeped out aura,

"Thank you headmaster," I smiled.

Is that it?

Ugh, and to think how many oreos I could've eaten.

"And because of your success,"

I froze at the spot.

"We're planning to give you an early graduation."

Oh. My. Gosh.

I swore if my eyes and mouth got any more open, my head would have been ripped in half.

"W-what?" I whispered.

I heard a deep chuckle of amusement from the shadows and tried so hard not to pout. Have I just been played?

"I'm proud to say I am very serious Ms. Haruno," the headmaster stated as if he read my mind, "You can have an early graduation, as long as you can success in one more mission."

Gasp.

What if he can?

I inwardly shook my head.

Ridiculous.

I've been watching too much of that public television the academy told us to "review" to "fit in" with the general public.

Wait a minute.

Did he just say "one more mission"?

"M-mission sir?" I blinked.

Dim lights on his side of the room shifted, so I assumed he nodded.

"Yes," he confirmed, "All you need to graduate earlier than the rest of the students is to success in one more mission."

I flinched and turned to the man that approached me with a dark briefcase. I couldn't see his face either, and it irritates me how my face is the only visible thing in the room. I'm literally on a freaking spotlight!

He handed me the case and I spent three seconds looking at it before taking it in my hands. It felt light, but at the same time heavy. I don't know, somewhere in between?

"In this case," he started, "Will be everything you need to know about the client and what shouldn't be witnessed by anyone's eyes but your own."

I nodded.

"His name is Sasuke Uchiha. He's the son of Fugaku Uchiha, head of the Uchiha Industries. I assume you know who they are."

I tried to make my gasp as quiet as I could. The Uchiha Industries is the corporation that builds the strongest weapons for the Fire Country.

"After Itachi Uchiha's disappearance," the headmaster continued, "Fugaku decided to hand the industries to his second son, Sasuke Uchiha."

"Our agents are still searching for Itachi, but until he is found, Sasuke would be the heir to the business and must be protected at all costs."

I raised an eyebrow.

"Protected sir?" I asked.

"Yes," he confirmed, "After doing some investigation, it turns out an extremely malicious mafia group called Akatsuki is plotting to take down the Uchiha company and use their weapons to take over the Fire Country."

Oh gosh.

Akatsuki?

Their practically the number one in the world's most wanted!

"We captured one of their agents," he said sternly but proudly, "And forced him to inform us their plan; Kill the heirs and corner Fugaku to give them the company so they can take ownership of all their weapons."

I cupped my mouth as I gasped. What exactly is my-

"Your mission,"

Oh gosh.

"Is by fighting against them and protect Sasuke Uchiha."

I can bet a million bucks my heart just skipped two beats.

Oh the pressure!

"S-sir!" I gasped, "Do you really think I can handle it?"

Another deep chuckle was heard from the dark unknown.

"During all your years in the ANBU Academy, you have proven to be the most accomplished student of them all," he started, "You are clever in tactics, skillful in combat, most wise in technology, and a master of disguise."

I bit my lip. I'd feel flattered if I wasn't being pummeled by the pressure.

"You make an excellent agent," he complimented, "And at such a young age."

Okay, that eased up the pressure just a little bit.

"Sasuke Uchiha may have bodyguards, but he could not be permitted to bring them to school."

I raised an eyebrow. School?

"Yes Ms. Haruno," he confirmed again as if he was reading my mind. Creepy. "Your client is in fact, still in high school. He's also not much older than you are."

I blinked. Huh?

"And because of that," he declared, "You will be working undercover in his high school, Konoha High, and you will be protecting him disguised as another high school student."

My eyes grew wide.

"You will be assigned the same classes, neighbor lockers, and will be residing in an apartment closest to his mansion," he informed, "And no matter where he goes, you will follow him and make sure he isn't in contact with any danger whatsoever. And remember Sakura,"

I looked up to him.

"Whatever happens in a mission," he reminded, "Stays in a mission."

ANBU Academy's top priority, number one rule.

It's bad to blow your cover,

But it's even worse to get your life mixed up with the client and the ruse.

I nodded, telling him I understood.

"Do you accept this mission?" he asked.

I looked down at the briefcase and took my time to think.

This is a big decision.

If I succeed in the mission, not only do I save the Fire Country, but I also get to go to Europe and have an honor-filled banquet celebrating my early graduation.

But if I fail, not only do I not graduate, but also probably endanger the world.

I bit my lip.

What a decision!

This mission could change my life!

And I'm not sure if I'm even up to it!

Nevertheless, I looked forward to the shadow-covered man with a smirk on my face.

If the headmaster believes I can do this mission,

Then so do I!

"I'm in"


Hi! My name is Sakura Haruno!

I'm 17 years old, and I'm the top student of the best secret, and possibly the only, agency school in the Fire Country, ANBU Academy.

I never really lived like most kids. Instead of going to kindergarten school to start the usual school life from there, my parents sent me to ANBU Academy, where I would be isolated from the outside world to learn how to work with it.

My parents met when they were assigned a mission together and decided that if they ever get married, their child would follow in their footsteps. Since I was their only child, guess who they fulfilled that commitment to?

But it's not like I complain. I actually like knowing I'm living every child's dream of becoming a cool super agent.

Sure it's hard work and sometimes very monotonous, but look how important super agents are to society! I think we're even better than the police and the military!

Sure they get to sacrifice their lives all the time, but who says they're the only ones?

They get to save the day when trouble starts, but super agents save the day before it does.

But as cool and important I feel as a spy in training,

I sometimes wonder what it would be like in the other world.

Since I literally spent my childhood in an isolated location in the middle of the ocean somewhere on Earth, I never really got to know what it feels like to be "out there".

Sure I go to the outside world for small missions, but my missions usually involve places that are dark, quiet, and nonpublic; Kinda like places where I'd disengage a bomb or stop a guy from robbing a store.

(And as much as people say people aren't doing that anymore, do they ever wonder how and why?) It's like being on training scenes for training missions every time we're assigned one on Building 4!

But since I agreed to this mission Headmaster Sarutobi assigned me, I guess I'm finally going to fulfill my fantasies.

And no, not like that so wipe that smirk off your face!

I sat down on my plushy white bed and stared at the briefcase on my lap. I drummed my fingers on top of it for a few moments until I felt like finally opening it.

I flicked off the locks and lifted its half open. My eyes grew wide as I observed the contents that filled the case.

Inside were pictures, files, charts, etc. My long thin fingers fumbled through the sheets until I stopped to pick one up.

Name: Sasuke Uchiha
Birthday: July 23, 1994
Nationality: Japanese
Eye Color: Black
Hair Color: Black
Height: 6'3
Weight: 172

I raised an eyebrow. What detail!

I kept reading and learned that he has no allergic reactions, likes tomatoes, and enjoys long walks. He sounds interesting enough.

I paused and sweat-dropped. The academy even got his hobbies.

I sighed before placing the files back in the briefcase. Just reading all this makes me feel like a creepy stalker.

Gasp.

What if the academy knows I like oreos now that they probably saw me eating some?

I jumped out of my bed and bolted the briefcase closed. I sprang towards my closet and packed as much clothes as fast as I could. Maybe it's best if I left early before I get in trouble and Sarutobi changes his mind.

A few moments passed and I checked around my small room to see if I forgot anything. I looked under my bed and raised an eyebrow when I saw a sheet of paper.

I reached out my hand to get it before getting back up to look at it.

Wow.

The sheet turned out to be a picture.

A picture of a very hot guy to be more specific at that.

And he only looked like he was a few months older than me

He had pale white skin and his black eyes were mesmerizing.

He wore a dark blue shirt and his jet black hair had fringes that framed his flawless face perfectly.

I observed his gorgeous hair and giggled. Towards the ends, it looked like the anus of a chicken! Come to think of it, his fringes look like matching wings!

I laughed to myself and immediately shut up when I heard knocking on the door.

"Sakura?" I heard my best friend, Ino, call, "What's going on?"

I gasped and stuffed the picture in my bag as Ino entered the room and approached me. I turned around to face her, trying not to look guilty of anything.

She had her long blonde hair tied up to a ponytail and wore her usual purple jumpsuit. It always did look a lot more womanly than the pink one I'm wearing right now.

"N-nothing," I responded.

Ino raised an eyebrow before pushing me to the side to look at the bag placed on the bed. I frowned when she frowned.

"You're that excited to leave huh?" She asked solemnly.

I gasped and waved my hands, "No!" I corrected, "It's just that," I scratched my head sheepishly, "The agency is so good in getting info out of people, I'm scared I might get in trouble if they knew I've been eating oreos in the compounds."

"Oreos?" she chuckled, "You mean the one I brought back?"

I chuckled docilely and nodded.

"Sakura you silly silly girl," Ino giggled, "You're always a goody goody."

She looked at me and my heart broke to see the saddest smile she's ever given me, "I'm going to miss you."

I jumped into her arms and we both cried on each others' shoulders. I can't believe I just realized now that I was leaving my best friend behind.

"You just haveto be the best student in the academy," she half-joked as she continued to sob, "I just hope it doesn't get you killed."

I chuckled at the comment before continuing to cry. We both knew she was half serious.

"Me too," I chocked out, "If I died, I'd never get to see your hideous hair again!"

Ino pulled back before punching me lightly on the arm. I was going to miss her so badly.

"How are we going to see each other again?" Ino asked. I was silenced by the question that for the first time, didn't know the answer to.

With a burst of hope, "How bout we both make a networking account and we'll look for each other there?"

I silently laughed. We learned a lot about social networking in class all the time and were surprised about how popular and useful it was.

"We're not allowed to make one remember?" I reminded sadly, "It would blow our cover."

More tears streamed down Ino's face before some of mine did the same. Sometimes I just hate being right.

"What about," I started with hope in my voice, "When you graduate, I'd talk to the agency and see if we can a professional mission together?"

Ino gasped happily at the idea and took me into her arms again.

"That's brilliant!" she complimented, "For the first time in years Sakura, you've inspired me to study!"

I chuckled at my friend's humor before hugging her back, "I can't wait till you graduate."

Ino sniffled, "Me too buddy," she agreed, "I'm gonna miss forcing you to break the rules."

An idea popped into my head and I smiled before pulling back.

"How bout we break another one one last time?" I suggested.

I smiled when I heard Ino gasped, "Sakura!" she called out in surprise, "I never thought you had it in you!"

I giggled before unzipping my bag, "I know I'm not supposed to show anyone this but," I reached out and got the crumpled picture, "Since your my best friend, it's worth it."

I handed her the picture and I giggled again when she gasped at the sight.

"Oh my gosh!" Ino gasped, "He's gorgeous!"

"He's also my client," I smugly stated.

Ino dropped the picture and pouted, "Are you trying to award me or punish me?" she playfully demanded, "You're leaving me for someone we've been looking for at the academy all these years!"

"And now I'm assigned to save his life," I sighed, "This isn't gonna be easy."

Ino reassured me with a smile before holding me by the shoulders, "You can do it," she stated, "Because if you don't," she smiled, "Then I'll just have to marry your man for you."

I laughed before pulling her in my arms, "Thanks for the support Ino," I said sarcastically.

She hugged me back in a tighter grip, "I'll miss you," she reminded.

I closed my eyes and returned the strength, "Me too," I whispered, "Me too."


I gave up on fixing my hair when I realized the helicopter's not gonna give up anytime soon.

I clutched my back on my shoulder as I walked anxiously towards my ride out of here.

I stopped in front of the helicopter door, making sure a part of me will always remain here.

"Are you ready Miss Haruno?" An agent asked.

I turned to my right to face him and nodded.

"Yes," I responded, "I'm ready."


Ooo the excitement!

Hope you guys liked it!

And please tell me what you guys think =D
