Just a side story I decided to write, you guys :) I watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith and thought, hm, why not write something with agents and shit?

So, well, that's how I decided to start with this.

I do not own Naruto...Rated M for future chapters...

And now all that's left is the hope, that you'll enjoy it! :)

Chapter 1

This night was unusually cold for the month of April. And, naturally, thanks to my amazing luck, I had to be out, working. If it were only the coldness, I would have sucked it up like a man, but it was also boring! Too boring for my own good - or bad. I still hadn't decided on that one.

The earbud rustled quietly. It was either good or bad news. Honestly? I hoped it was bad news. At least I wouldn't have to standing here, on the top of the building, like a freaking retard. The voice was stern, very neutral.

" How's the situation, Agent 0-1-8?"

I scoffed, before pressing the transmitter.

" Aren't you the ones, who are supposed to monitor the situation?!"

" Nothing seems wrong on the system, but they do improvise. In case of emergency, immediately contact us, Agent 0-1-8."

I stared down at the van across the street, before shoving my hands deeper in the pockets of the coat. I happened to realize, that just glaring at it viciously wouldn't cause it to burst into flames, so I just settled for rolling my eyes in annoyance, before regarding the rest of the street with a little attention. No, there wasn't anything.

" You know I hate it when you call me that."

Another rustle, before the annoyed voice reached my ear.

" It's my job! Yours, too, so you should actually follow the rules!"

Another roll of my eyes. Damn, what was going on with me? Was I developing some sort of a teak? Most probably. This was just plainly irritating. I ducked and peaked over the edge of the flat roof of the building. The street wasn't as occupied as usual, the cars passing by were less than normally, which was probably due to the fact, that it was fucking three in the morning and I wasn't in my bed sound asleep. OK, maybe just because it was three in the morning, but whatever. The paper cup, full of the nasty coffee they got me, was standing half-empty beside me. I felt like kicking it over the edge, just to have something to do, but that would be considered as 'not professional' and I would probably get scolded for 'giving away my position' or 'ruining the flow of the mission'. And if I did, they probably wouldn't give me the extra points, aka, the extra cash.

I suppressed the urge to push it by taking out the binoculars and looking down the street again. It was so...calm. No trace of them. Slowly, I checked the other side of the street. Nope, nothing. I pressed the transmitter again, a bit bothered.

" Are you sure they told you exactly this street?! Because we've been here for two hours and we haven't seen anything yet!"

Someone behind me coughed. Well, wasn't I damned. I couldn't hear the answer from the van, because I was too occupied with the gun in my hand, still hidden in the pocket.

I turned around and immediately tensed. Why, these fuckers down in the van were doing absolutely nothing! I was so going to report them once we got back to headquarters! If we returned back to headquarters...

The targets were in front of me, all three of them - big men with tattooed hands, big muscles, bandanas...real gang idiots. But these gang idiots had the object, so whether I liked it or not, I had to act. Only if they were not pointing three guns at me. Awesome. Why, thank you, luck! Well, three vs one. That was just plainly unfair.

I shifted on my place, smirking.

" Hi, guys, you up here for the view? I must say I'm a tad disappointed, the sky isn't clear tonight-"

" Cut the crap!" the one in the middle roared, before pulling the safety hammer, ready to shoot at any moment. The two other gorillas followed his example. " What are you doing here?!"

" I just told you! You see, I come here very often after I have a drink in the bar down the street. As I said, the view's pretty awesome...except for tonight. Three scarecrows just kind of appeared and ruined it for me."

It was priceless, really, watching the two on the sides looking at each other confused - God, how stupid they were - until the one in the middle growled furiously and made a step towards me. Come on...come on!

" Leave, before I turn your brain into pieces!" he pointed the rooftop-door with his gun. Yeah, right. Leave and miss the fun? But it was just starting to get interesting!

" Unfortunately, that cannot happen." I shrugged, my hand still holding the gun tightly in my pocket. " I must take something from you, which, I believe, must be lying hidden in the briefcase over there."

My eyes bore into the case, that gorilla №3 was holding - yes, it matched the description and unless there was some mastermind behind the whole operation, run by these idiotic gang bullies, it wasn't supposed to be hard.

Obviously, the men didn't have such plans, because their pistols shot up once again, but they weren't firing...yet. I sighed.

" Oh, come on..." I made a few steps forward. " We can make this the easy way-"

I didn't have the time to finish, because a hand interfered with my jaw. I didn't feel the pain, until I registered the fact, that I had been punched. OK, that was just crossing the line.

" Or we can do this the hard way." I muttered quietly. There was no point in fooling around. I managed to grab the wrist of the man, who had punched me and pull him around. It was a simple, D class technique - knee in the crotch, fist in the nose, kick the gun out of his hand, hold him up in front of you like a shield, while shooting the others. Something I'd done more times, than I could count.

It was over in less than two minutes. I walked over to Gorilla №3 and pulled the case out of his arms, while he was whimpering on the floor. I didn't kill them, no...just, you know, disabled them for the moment. In that concrete case, I wasn't paid to kill, I was paid to act. So the shoots in the shoulders were enough.

" Ugh, messy." I remarked, before pulling a handkerchief out of my jeans pocket and cleaning the handle of the briefcase. After I felt it was clean enough for me to touch it, I opened it. What idiots, they hadn't even set a pass-code. Total retards. And it was there, the little SD card. Damn, waking me up this late for that piece of trash...

I didn't bother with the transmitter. I just turned towards the rooftop-door, kicked the stupid paper cup off the edge of the building, and walked into the building, down the stairs. Honestly, why had they bothered me with this mission, it was something, that even a rookie could have done.

A bit bothered - alright, who am i kidding, deathly annoyed - I walked out on the street, towards the van. I knocked on it two times and the back doors opened. I immediately heard the common beeping of the systems, the monitors and the computers, the buds and the radars. Two people turned towards me rather annoyed, probably ready to scold the shit out of me, that I've left my position, but then their expressions slowly turned into worried. Before they could speak up, I got in the van.

" Why the hell...weren't you keeping an eye on the radars and systems? Trying to launch a surprise for me or something?"

" D-Don't tell me they were up there!"

" I'd bet on a positive. Look at that bruise!"

" That isn't important,'' I winced, before shoving my arm into my pocket and taking out the SDcard, throwing it in the hands of the loud-mouthed blonde. " Mission accomplished or object retrieved, or something. I don't care. Pick one."

" What about the men?"

" I left them on the roof, I hope you wouldn't mind."

" Honestly, you're hopeless."

" Let's get back to HQ, I want to get over with this crap and go back to sleep."

I signaled Ino to get the van moving, while the other IP-specialist, Hinata, started examining the card and typing something on her computer - probably a report for the mission, I didn't really know.

And me? I just rested my head on the seat and closed my eyes. It was over. Two hours for this five-minute shit. I was just so frustrated.

And yeah, that's basically who I was. Bossy and bad-tempered, but hell, good at what I was doing. Maybe that's why they hadn't kicked me out yet.

My name is Haruno Sakura. I'm nineteen, constantly on the verge of my nerves, and yeah, I'm a special agent, you got that right.

And, damn...didn't my cheek sting!

~o~o~o~o~o~

It was more quiet in headquarters, than I expected. But then again, it really was late. And my anger hadn't faded a bit!

Ino and Hinata were trying to keep me back, but I was just fuming. Alright, I'd done the mission, but on the cost of my fuckin' sleep. I'd rather have had somebody else do it. So naturally, my two teammates just failed miserably. I burst through the door, attracting most of the glances towards me. The agents were standing behind the computers, looking at their current missions, probably tracking people. And me? I just barged in and started walking towards the office of Kakashi. The old geezer had done this deliberately.

But, of course, they had to interrupt my actions. A few agents stood from their seats and walked towards us - the heels of women clanking on the floor, the whispers resounding through the , all of a sudden, deadly quiet room.

" Sakura!" someone said frantically and I turned around to face the person, who was speaking. It was Tenten, her two teammates walking behind her, both of them looking tired, with mugs in their hands. The girl was grinning at me, until she got closer and saw my face. That's when her smile faded, replaced by a frown. "What the hell is that?"

My hand flew consciously to my face. It felt rotten, the place where I'd been punched, and damn, didn't it hurt. I rubbed it and pulled back my hand with a shrug, before seeing a trace of blood on it. What? So the douche had managed to even cut my skin?! I should have just killed him on the spot, that idiot.

" A punch." I hissed.

" Someone managed to hit you?'' Neji asked with raised eyebrows, slowly raising the mug to his lips. " The poor soul, I don't even want to think about it."

I tried to smile at the words, but the sting was there to remind me, that if I did, it would hurt. So I just settled with a smirk and a nod. Tenten, however, didn't seem impressed.

" Oh my God, Sakura, you're so careless sometimes." she said quietly, before turning around. " Lee, go bring her ice. And some medicine if you find."

" Anything for my beautiful Sakura-chan!" the man shoved his cup in Tenten's hands, then drifted off towards the storage rooms.

" Weirdo." Ino commented from beside me, before continuing. " What are you three doing here this late anyway?"

Neji frowned in what I assumed was annoyance, before pulling the mug back to his lips. The frown on Tenten's face just complemented the whole image.

" Gai called for us. He said we had a mission. Anyway, Neji, why don't you go get the details, while Lee returns?"

" Gladly." the man commented with a sour expression on his face, before continuing with the walking. And Sakura just rolled her eyes.

" Tenten, I really do appreciate it, but I really need to go and kick Kakashi's ass."

" You're not going anywhere until you get that wound cleared up." the woman said with a stern expression. And Sakura just felt like arguing, but knew, that she was right. Wasn't it enough, that she had to walk around with a blue fleck on her jaw for more than a week? She didn't want it to leave scars, as well. She was a girl, after all.

" S-Sakura-chan?" Hinata said quietly, waiting for me to look up to her.

" Yes?"

" Should I go and r-register the ob-object?"

I thought about it. I really did want to have Ino and Hinata with me, when I confronted Kakashi, but I kind of sensed, that Ino wouldn't be of much help and Hinata just wouldn't be able to endure it. No wonder the girl was rarely sent on missions. Her psyche was just weak and for an agent that was fatal. Instead, she compensated with enough brains to be able to keep track of the operations, so she actually was pretty important for the success rate of our jobs. And Ino...Ino was a loud-ass bitch. She could be helpful when she wanted to, but in that concrete case, after I had shouted at her for being totally useless, I kind of knew, that the blonde wouldn't back me up.

" Yeah, go. The sooner we're done here, the sooner we'd be at home."

Hinata nodded and with a yawn departed from us towards a free computer at the end of the hall. I looked around - most of the agents had already returned to their own jobs, Ino was still standing beside me in her high heels and short skirt and her diva pose, and Tenen was just staring at me with the mug of Lee in her arm. Although it was his, she raised it to her lips and gulped from the hot coffee, that was streaming from the inside.

" So, why the attitude?"

I crossed my arms in front of my chest. Tenten could be so nosy from time to time, that it was nerving. However, she was one of the best female agents at the time, so I guess I kind of had to answer.

" I'm just irritated with Kakashi, that's all. He gave us a mission for total idiots."

" For the hundredth time, Sakura, it was not for idiots! We couldn't even sense them on the radars and hell, they managed to hurt you!" Ino snapped beside me, while Tenten's eyebrows raised on her forehead, as she looked from me to my blonde partner.

" Well, it's your own fault, that you didn't do your part of the mission! For me, it was child's play!"

" You always say that and you always come back wounded."

Ouch, I though, that was a hit for my ego. I glared at Ino, I hated her for that. She was always just so plainly direct, that it was just nerve-wracking. And maybe that was the exact same reason for her to be my best friend. It was nice to know, that there was a person who'd tell me everything, whether it was good or bad...that there was a person, who'd tell me the truth, whatever it was. And when you were surrounded by professional liars and killers, calling themselves agents, it just wasn't easy to not have trust-issues. And with Ino and Hinata it was easy to let go of the façade. While Ino was a person who'd easily tell you the truth and as easily blurt out lies, Hinata was shy, she was there to listen and give advice. And with me being the psyched neurotic, that I was, we were just perfect to be best friends.

We weren't a constant team, no. We just got teamed up for this concrete case. It happened sometimes, we weren't working bad together. Most of the squads in here were from three-people cells, like Tenten, Neji and Lee. Well, Ino and Hinata belonged to such teams, too. And me? No, I didn't have a team. I was a solo agent. An A-class agent. I didn't need teammates, not constant ones, for whom I'd have to worry during missions. Not ones, for whom I'd develop feelings as for friends. I just didn't want to take the risk with other people. I preferred working alone.

" Whatever." I finally managed to say, just when Lee emerged into the room with his hands occupied with a bag, full of ice cubes and another one - with a glass of water.

" There you go, Sakura-chan!" he said and handed me the bag of ice, which I raised to my face. At least it was going to make the pain a little less. Then he raised the glass and put it in my hand, before rummaging his pocket and taking out a pill. " A painkiller."

I forced a smile, which made my cheek sting a little more, before I took the pill and placed the ice on my jaw. It was unpleasant at first, but after only a few seconds I felt a bit relieved. I looked up to the two of them.

" Thanks, guys..." I said, while Tenten and Lee gave me tired, but sincere smiles. " Good luck with your mission. And now if you'll please excuse me..."

I turned around and started walking towards Kakashi's office. I could hear Ino walking behind me, the clanking of her heels was the only thing to be heard that late in HQ.

" You know, pig, that was just rude." I said, while flashing her a glance to only see her grinning.

" I was being honest. Really, whenever you go and act like this, you get such bruises and cuts and it's just awful."

" I act on instinct!"

" And your instinct always gets you in trouble."

" My instinct is what made me an A-class agent." I muttered, because I thought it would put an end to the conversation. Instead, she just laughed behind me.

" No, it's the fact, that you trained your ass off, that's what made you an A-class agent."

" That, too." I agreed, remembering all the years in the gyms under the tutelage of former agents, the restless hours. Well, they did pay off at the end, didn't they? I sighed. " What about you? Aren't you going to try to promote yourself? You've been stuck at rank B for two years now."

I heard her stop for a mere second, the rhythm of the clanking being disturbed because of it. Then she started walking again.

" I think I already told you, Forehead, I am not good enough for A-class. Besides, I prefer working in a team."

" Well, Shikamaru is A-class, and he still is in a team with you."

" There's a difference and you know it." Ino scoffed. " Shikamaru is a tactician. He rarely fights. And me? If I become an A-class, then I'd have to fight stronger enemies and I don't think I'm ready yet. Next year."

I felt, that it was the end of the whole conversation. Besides, we were already at the door of the office. The name written neatly on the plate of the door. Hatake Kakashi.

And before even bothering with knocking, I pushed the handle to only find out, that the door was locked. That old fuck. I turned around and glared at the wall in front of me, while Ino glued her ear to the door, trying to hear something.

" I don't think he's here." she muttered, while I nodded. Kakashi never locked his office. He only did, when he left to go home. Or when he went to consult with Tsunade-sama.

" He might be with her, though."

" Don't tell me you're going there." Ino said and I could almost hear her brain working on a way to stop me from doing idiotic stuff. Well, even I wasn't that much of a retard. To go to Tsunade just to scream at Kakashi...that was just dumb, however you looked at it. So I just sighed in annoyance, tapping my hands on the door, still wondering whether to kick it or just leave peacefully.

I really didn't know what had gotten into me. After all, it wasn't a big deal. I had received a mission, I had finished it. And now I was going to go home with Ino and I was going to go back to sleep and hopefully, be able to enjoy a calm night at least until my alarm clock beeped for the next day.

" Whatever, let's just go."

I swear, I heard her sigh in relief, before I took off back towards the main hall.

" Oi, Forehead, wanna grab some sushi tomorrow? They opened a new place right next to the apartment. They say it's good."

" If Kakashi doesn't barricade me with a bunch of other idiotic missions, then gladly."

" Will you stop?" Ino asked and I could hear the irritation in her voice. " The mission wasn't easy. And it's over anyway, so stop talking about it!"

I didn't answer for a few seconds. She was right, I should have just dropped it.

" What's in the card anyway?"

" According to the informator it's the password for some of the upper cases.'' Ino shrugged, but I felt something clench my stomach. She continued speaking. " Some A-class agent has demanded, that they should receive the pass tonight, for some of their cases."

" Some A-class agent?" I repeated, trying to monitor each of my co-workers. Most of them preferred doing their jobs alone...And although it was really irrational, I felt angry. Why would any of them bother other people with their cases?! Why would anybody be that lazy to not do this by themselves and occupy other people with their own problems? Tch. " Do you know who it is?"

" Nah. Just that it's a password for some company's secretive files or something. Anyway, so I read, that the new sushi bar offers also other stuff, like myso soup and ramen, which-"

Eventually, I stopped listening to her. I really didn't care about food now. I just cared about my bed and about my pillow. Vaguely, only vaguely, I was wondering who it must have been and since it's been an A-class agent who was doing the job, then maybe Tsunade was guilty for me having to stay two hours on a rooftop, gritting my teeth from the coldness. And maybe, I would have screwed up if I'd gone to her to complain from Kakashi. Big time.

But it didn't matter anyway. Tomorrow morning, or rather four hours from then, I'd be back to my own cases and I wouldn't have to do the dirty work of some other agent, who was most probably too busy with getting their ass up at three am to go retrieve their own shit.

" Let's just get Hinata and get out of here."

" Alright." Ino nodded and we both went through the corridor towards the hall. We got through the door and looked around the hall to find Hinata. And we did spot her, but she wasn't alone. "What the hell are they doing here?"

I continued talking, unfazed by the situation. Two men were leaning over Hinata's shoulders and she seemed like it was hard for her to breathe. I smirked. Well, no wonder, one of these men was the idiotic blonde with the baby blue eyes and killer kick.

Naruto was smiling over her shoulder, looking at the monitor, where she was showing them something, trying hard not to stutter. The deep red hue of her face, however, was enough to show me, that me and Ino had to interfere in case we didn't want to drag her home, while she was unconscious or something.

My eyes turned to the other man. I didn't need to look at him, I already knew who he was, since Naruto was there, but I did anyway. It was Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke. The hottest stuff I've ever laid eyes upon, quiet and mysterious, extremely skilled in everything he was doing. Needles to say, he was an A-class, probably aiming for S. He was taking on the hardest missions and somehow, he was always succeeding. And most probably, he was the only other agent, who was better than me.

And I swear, I am not that self-loving, I just happen to have a realistic view of my own abilities. If anything, he was the self-absorbed idiot. He was the one, who never wanted any teammates, he was the one, who was doing everything by himself, unless he was teamed up with somebody by Tsunade. Even then, he was demanding, that it would only be one person and that person always happened to be Naruto. Maybe their connection was like mine with Ino and Hinata. Or probably they were gay, which, though, was rather unlikely, given the fact, that Naruto was always hanging around with girls. Besides, it would be a pity if such good-looking men were gay... for me, anyway.

And then something in my brain clicked. They were with Hinata and they were staring at the screen, while she was speaking. Damn, I was so stupid! My eyes flew back to the Uchiha and his wonderful tousled hair, to his perfect jaw, to the dark onyx eyes and the stoic expression on his face. That fucker.

I started walking a bit faster, although Ino objected behind me. I was fuming. I was so furious...only a few meters left...

Naruto looked up, when he heard me moving towards them. He grinned with his trendmark smile.

" Hello there, Sakura-chan!"

But I didn't bother with answering, although I really did enjoy Naruto. He was fun to be around, completely unfazed by the whole agents-atmosphere. But at that moment I had other stuff to worry about. Like Sasuke, who was straightening up slowly. That idiot.

I reached him just when he turned his head slightly to look at me and Ino, probably about to greet us. And at that exact moment, I let my arm swing at him, I let my fist interfere with his face, although it caused a wave of pain to run trhough my own wrist.

" Next time you need you passwords, go retrieve them yourself!"

And then I just moved back, actually enjoying the pain in my arm, because it meant satisfaction. Actually enjoying the way his hand flew to his jaw and the way he looked at me with something between shock and annoyance written on his expression. Actually enjoying the fact, that there was a stream of blood coming from the coner of his lips.

And then my eyes moved to the others. Ino caught up with me and caught me by the arm, scolding me once again. Hinata was on her feet, holding Sasuke's arm, looking at him with her constant worried expression. And Naruto? Naruto laughed quietly, before looking at me with a confused glint in his babyblue eyes.

" Now, now... Care to enlighten me what he did? Did he tried to rape you or something?"

I flashed a dangerous look at Naruto.

" Don't act like you don't know! I bet you're working with him on that one. And if it's so, why haven't you gone to get the stupid-ass SD card, huh? You two thought that it would be fun to make me go and waste my time with those pricks in the ghetto? Well, guess what? It wasn't!"

" Sakura-ch-chan, calm down..."

I stared at Hinata, who was motioning me to stop, then I looked at Nauto, who seemed confused as hell, while his eyes were jumping from Sasuke back to me.

" What the hell? Teme? You know what she's speaking about?"

" I have no fucking clue." Sasuke muttered, before straightening up again and taking the napkin, that Hinata handed him. He pressed it against his face and looked at me with irritation and boredom written all over his face. I couldn't ignore the way his voice sounded, like velvet around steel. It was just amazingly sexy, but he didn't seem to care abou the effect it had on the people around him. " Dobe, take the scan and then come straight to the office."

" Don't boss me around." Naruto frowned, but I saw him nod. And Sasuke just stared at me again, before taking off towards the corridors, where we had just come out from. And I was standing in my place with my mouth open and my brows furrowed. I turned back to Naruto, who was looking at me sceptically. " Are you on drugs, Sakura-chan?"

" No, she's just pissed." Ino explained, not letting go of my arm. " She thought it was you two who weren't doing their job."

" What happened?" Naruto asked and I rolled my eyes. Ino looked at me, then started explaining the situation to him. By the end of it, he was laughing uncontrollably, while looking at me, along with the rest of the agents, who were pretending to work, but were actually eavesdropping. Well, wasn't it the trend of the day? Female special agent Haruno goes on a rampage. Perfect.

" What are you two doing here then?" I snapped, while Naruto grinned again.

" We saw Hinata and asked her to take a look at a RAM we found on our mission. We're just not as good as her."

I saw my friend blushing fircely, before her hand flew to the printer in a shaky manner.

" Here's the result, N-Naruto-kun."

He took the paper from her and looked at it quickly, before scratching the back of his head, while chuckling quietly.

" Damn, I don't understand a thing. Anyway, I better go give this to Sasuke, cause...sheesh, he'll freak out again. Anyway...good night, ladies!" he made a few steps, before he turned around with a smile. " Oh, and Sakura-chan? That was one hell of a right punch!"

And I? I just looked down to my arm and frowned. What had I just done? Punched the probably best agent in the whole company?

Well, wasn't I screwed?

Well, that's it for the first chapter. I hope you liked it!

It's my first time trying to write from their point of view, and I'll be switching it in the chapters, which means next one will be from Sasuke's POV, so I'm not really sure whether it turned out OK, but that's why you're here.

Make sure to leave your comments about it in the review section below! I would love to know what you think about it!

I would ask you all to keep in mind, that this fanfic is just something I wrote on a whim, I am not entirely sure how often I'll be able to update it, but I will! You all know, that I don't leave my stories unfinished! :)

So with that said, goodbye! Until next time!
