Haseo Aurion: Yo, this is my first fanfic posted up on I hope that you guys enjoy it. Yes, there will be a couple of OC's, but I plan to not have that many OC's in this fanfic. Sorry about the length and if anything seems wrong, please let me know. Thank you and I hope that you enjoy this fanfic.

Warning: Major character and couple bashing…except for the character from Devil May Cry and Darker than Black. Why? Well, because they are awesome and it's part of the fanfic. In the first couple of chapters, Sakura will be the most bashed, but later on, she won't be bashed. Yes, I'm that mean to bash one of my favorite characters. But she will not be bashed later on. Also language usage too.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Darker than Black or Devil May Cry Series or any songs used they all belong to their representative owners.

There inside a store with small sunlight shining into the room, sat a man with his feet up on the table in a criss-cross style. In his mouth was a piece of pizza held in his right hand. He had a pair of black pants and combat boots. On his neck was a red necklace that hung down towards the top of his bare chest. He then heard the phone rang, and he slammed his foot down on the table causing the phone to fly up in the air and land in his hand. The man then began to listen to what was being said on the phone. He decided that enough was enough and slammed the phone back onto its hanger. He continued eating his pizza and the door opened. He looked up to see a man walk in with a black tux. The man then asked, "This is Devil May Cry am I right?"

"What of it?" replied he replied back.

"And you're Dante am I right?"

"Yea that I am, and what of it?"

"My name is Kiichi," the tux man answered. "I need a service of you if I may."

"How much will I get?"

Kiichi raised his hand up first and then continued, "The amount that you will get will be based off of the result in the end."

"Well, then what do I need to do?"

"You need to enter a village named Konohagure or Konoha for short. When you get inside, you'll need to speak to a man named Satourbi or the Sandaime of Konoha for short. Tell him that Kiichi hired you and then, you'll meet a woman. She will tell you the rest of the details involving everything else."

"Is this a babysitting job?"

"Maybe yes or maybe no."

Dante then placed his pizza down and stated, "I expect really good pay if I have to do some babysitting. Kids are annoying and tend to get into trouble…personal experience. If it is a babysitting, boy or girl?"

Kiichi chuckled and stood up replied back, "You'll see when you get to Konoha. You never know, you may enjoy this job a lot."

Dante raised an eyebrow as he saw Kiichi place a letter on his desk and then out the door. He picked up the letter and opened it up. It read:

Dante,

I take it that you opened this letter? If you did, which I know you did, continue reading this please.

Now to continue on, in this letter contains a passport, a headband, and have course, your letter for Sandaime. The airport that you'll need to go to is called the Trans Port. When you get there, board flight number 7.

-Kiichi

Dante then saw the things that were written in the letter fall out and onto his desk. He raised the headband up and saw a leaf symbol in the middle. He chuckled, "This will be one hell of a mission."

Li was in a restaurant eating some ramen when he saw a man sit down on the other side of him. He looked up and asked, "Can I help you with something?"

"Yes actually you can," the man answered. "I need you to do a mission for me with the help of another individual if you need to know."

"Does this involve…"

"Contractors?" the man whispered in Li's ear.

"How do you know?"

"Let's just say I do for now OK?" the man leaned back to his normal position on the chair.

"Fair enough." Li shrugged. "So, what's your name?"

"My name is Kiichi and my mission for you is simple. I want you to go to Konoha and do a simple mission. You will speak to the Sandaime and then a woman will talk with you. Now, I must be going now. Oh and by the way, you'll have an interesting partner if I may so myself."

Kiichi stood up and he shook Li's hand that in return shook his hand back replying, "It was very nice to meet you."

"Oh no it was nice meeting you Li." Kiichi smiled to Li.

A note was then slid into Li's hand and Kiichi walked out the door not even waving a goodbye. Li raised an eyebrow and he opened up the note reading:

Li,

I'm glad that you've decided to read this note. Now for the contents are a headband, passport, and have course, the letter for Sandaime. The next course of action is to head to Trans Port where you'll meet up with your partner for this trip. You'll then both go board flight number 7.

-Kiichi

Li placed the note in his pocket and he stood up to pay his bill. He wore a white shirt with a pair of black pants as well as a pair of black shoes. He grabbed his jacket and paid the cashier leaving the store. He walked back to his house and decided that he should do this. When he got to his apartment, he wrote a small note and placed it on the table. He then went to his drawer and grabbed a backpack and began to fill the bag up. He sighed as he placed the bag on his back and walked out the door, locking the door behind him.

Dante waited at the Trans Port with his sword on his back as well as a briefcase filled with some clothes, not that many, not that much. He also had his two guns on both his sides and looked around the place waiting.

Li entered the Trans Port and began to look for his partner. He saw a man with silver hair and wearing a red trench coat. He didn't know whether or not this guy was his partner, but he went up to the man and asked, "Excuse me, are you here for the flight 7?"

Dante shrugged at the man who asked him the question, "Yea. I'm here for flight 7 why?"

"Oh that's great news, my name is Li and I'm here for a mission. In my letter that I got it stated that I would have a partner."

Dante sighed, "Great, another partner mission. There goes my money."

"You thought that this was a solo mission?"

"Yea." Dante shrugged.

Before Li could say anything, a voice called, "All passengers for flight 7 to head to flight 7's post. Have a nice flight."

Li looked over at Dante, but he took off towards the gate and Li calmly walked behind to make sure that he could keep up with him.

"Ah ha," a girl smiled. This girl had pink hair and emerald eyes that sparkled brightly. She then continued, "Today is the best day of my life. Maybe, I can ask Sasuke out or something."

"Think again Forehead," tsked another girl. This girl had long blonde hair tied up in a high ponytail and had blue eyes. She continued in an all-knowing tone, "Sasuke wouldn't be with you if you were the last woman on Earth. Besides, he wants someone who's strong, and can keep up on her own feet. Also someone who is beautiful and who can give them beautiful babies. You, are not one of them Forehead so leave me be as I go find Sasuke-kun."

"Whatever Ino-pig." the first girl rolled her eyes. "I'll get Sasuke to see me for me."

The second girl, Ino, growled, "Oh Sakura, you have no idea what Sasuke sees in me and me only."

The first girl, Sakura, glared at Ino who in return glared back. The duo then heard, "Oh hey Hinata-chan what's up?"

They both turned to see a blonde boy talking with a blue haired girl named Hinata. She answered him, "Well not much except for Sasuke asking me a question."

"What did he ask you?"

"He asked me for a date and I refused him of course. Cause I want to go on a date and I am dating you. He was pretty angry and told me that he didn't want to date any of his fan girls and that's why he asked me. But as I told you, I don't like him that way, and so I asked him what he thought of some of the other girls in the class. He told me that he hated all of them except me and I told him that he had to choose someone else besides me. So he asked me what I thought of some of the girls in the class and I told him about Yamanaka Ino. Well, I suggested her to him and he told me that she was a huge fan girl of his. I then in return told him about what was happening between her and Haruno Sakura. He told me that he hated her too only because she was weak and ugly. Plus she's a major fan girl of his. I agreed with the fact that she's really ugly, but I don't want to say that in her face as well as the fact that she's weak. So, I told him to talk to Ino because we all know that she's the better choice. He agreed with me because she wants revenge as well. Aren't they the perfect couple?"

"Well…um sure I guess."

"That's great Naruto-kun. Just like how I'm perfect for you right?"

"Yea you are Hinata-chan."

Ino turned back to Sakura and gave off a smirk, "Well. I told you that Sasuke-kun liked me better then you. Of course, the whole world knew that."

Sakura watched as Ino happily skipped off to find Sasuke as she stood at the gate with a huge depressed sigh. She saw Hinata and Naruto walk off and she decided to sit down by the gate. All of a sudden she heard, "OI brat, get off the ground."

She gave off a small squeak as she stood up and moved quickly out of the way. She saw that at the gates were two males. One had tamed black hair that stuck out at the sides and the other had silver hair that almost touched his shoulders, but didn't. Both of these men were looking at her as if she was crazy and she apologized as fast as she could. The black haired man asked, "You must be a citizen here am I correct?"

"Huh?" Sakura replied and then she answered, "Yea. I mean yes, I am a citizen here."

"That's excellent. Would you be kind enough please to take us to your Hokage's office?"

Sakura paused and thought it over, and then she replied, "Sure why not. I have to go close to his office anyways."

She then walked forward and the two men followed her. She began to sweat as she saw people staring at her and she heard some talking in the background. More as if they were muttering about her, but when she looked over, the talking stopped. Sakura hated it when people began to talk about her behind her back, and so, she moved forward with the duo. She then saw Ino and Sasuke together happily walking together and her heart broke right there. She had small tears in her eyes, but they didn't fall because she wanted to be brave.

Li looked at Dante and then back at the girl who they were following to the Hokage's office. He noticed that she was on the verge of crying because of her shivering. His eyes moved towards a happy couple that was holding each other's hands and talking to each other. He also noticed that the girl was looking over at the girl who was leading them, and the girl that clung to the guy stuck her tongue out in victory.

Dante saw Li look over at him and he gave him an "I don't care" look. He then noticed that Li looked back at the girl who was leading them. He saw what Li saw and that was the happy couple. Dante hated happy couples because he thought that relationships involve family, and that leads to disaster born to happen. He could tell by the guy's face that he didn't like the girl that clung to him and that he would do anything for revenge. He's been there before, but whenever a challenge was there, he always faced it head on with some humor yet sarcastic comments that always made his opponent angry. He then looked back at the girl and noticed that she was about to pour her eyes out. He rolled his eyes knowing that in the end, this girl would want revenge. He didn't mind revenge and all because it's natural, but he normally fought, and the revenge was done. He always managed to get revenge and win, but only with his enemies for each mission he has ever done. He's never had enemies outside missions, except for Lady who was his other enemy, but he thought that she was okay. He smiled to himself thinking about this mission and about Lady. He remembers all the times that he has teased her and gave her comments that are sarcastic. But he got this feeling that this girl will be the one he'll have to train.

Sakura wiped her eyes when she got to the tower with the two men; she turned to them and gave off a small smile, "Well. Here we are. You two can head up those stairs and continue to walk until you see two doors open and a desk inside. He's probably doing paperwork or something."

Li replied, "Thank you so much Miss. We didn't know where to go without your help. Now, if you'll excuse us, we must get going."

"Oh, it was no problem. Besides, it's the least I could do to act like a good ninja."

Dante just shrugged and gave off a grin, "We have to head up to the old geezer's office and kid, good luck on being that ninja thing you want to be."

Sakura gave off another small smile and waved a goodbye as she ran towards the Ninja Academy. She didn't know their names, but to her, those two men seemed really nice. As she found herself near the Academy, she saw one of her childhood bullies push her towards the side so that she could see Ino and Sasuke together. Sakura hated this feeling in her gut, but she felt envy towards Ino. It was if she wanted to be the one in Sasuke's arms, but she knows that she can't be in Sasuke's arms. To her, it was the hard-core truth. She also saw Naruto and Hinata together. She noticed that the two of them also looked perfect together. Sakura then saw Kiba giving a small glare at Naruto for having Hinata. She walked over to him and asked, "Are you jealous of Naruto having Hinata?"

"It's none of your business you stupid Sasuke fan girl," Kiba snapped at her in anger. "You don't know anything about how I feel for Hinata. You're just a weak little girl who can only depend on her male. Hinata and Ino are the best in this Academy."

Sakura could feel another arrow pierce through her heart and the tears semi-formed again. She muttered as she walked away, "Sorry for being a burden on you all. I know that I am and I promise to change. Once I become a ninja, I will find my own path. Sure, I maybe a stupid little fan girl, but this girl got her heart broken more then once. Once by her old best friend telling me that she's better then the world. The second by another girl who I've wanted to be friends with telling me that my old friend is better then me, and now by you who's telling me that I have no place in life."

Kiba saw Sakura walk away and then he felt sorry for her after all that she's said to him. He knew that it was the hard-core truth, but he didn't want to believe that. He wanted to believe in Hinata mostly because he loved her.

Li and Dante sat in the Hokage's office and saw a young woman come in. She had long brown hair and brown eyes. The Sandaime smiled, "Ah Mrs. Haruno. You are here for concern of your daughter correct?"

"Yes I am Hokage-sama sir." Mrs. Haruno, Saiki replied.

Li then asked, "You're daughter? Oh right, and I'm Li and then guy next to me is Dante. It's an honor to meet you."

"Yes and it's an honor to meet you too. Anyways, my daughter is…"

"I'll leave you three alone." Sandaime stood up replying.

After then Sandaime left the room, Saiki then continued, "My daughter has been in love for most of the time at the Academy. She has long pink hair and green eyes. Anyways, even though I think that it's cute to have a crush, I've noticed that she's been getting weaker and weaker by each step. She feels that she's inferior to her rival, Ino, but she always tries to keep up. Sometimes, she feels so left behind from the other Academy students and plus, I haven't been any help either." Saiki had tears in her eyes and continued, "I've always tried to stop her from being a ninja, but she never listens to me. So, now I'm taking the incentive and asking you guys to help her."

"What's her name?" Li asked.

"Sakura. Haruno Sakura."

"Now I'm babysitting a brat. Oh well, and yea I guess that we can train her." Dante interrupted and he got one glare thrown at him. He then continued, "I know that you're angry at me, but I agreed that I'll help to train her. However, this training will not be taken lightly and I will not train her until she graduates since she graduates in two days am I correct?"

"Yes you are." Saiki nodded. "She has to take her ninja exam tomorrow and then the day after she gets her team, but it depends on the team sensei."

"Yea." Dante leaned back on the chair placing his feet up on the desk. "That's why I'm saying that. I mean, there's really no point until after what needs to be done is done. There's no point in starting early and then having to give up."

"You have an excellent point. I owe you two so much. So, what do you two want?"

"Anything?" Li asked.

"Well yes, except certain things that are well you know."

"I want pizza and strawberry sundae. Now, not any kind, it has to be ice cream with whipped cream on top and there has to be strawberries on top of the whipped cream. For the pizza part, anything is fine, but no olives or anchovies. Mostly the anchovies part." Dante ordered demandingly.

Li and Saiki just stared at him and then Saiki replied, "I can try to make the strawberry sundae that you want and the pizza too. I'll have to go to the grocery store to pick the stuff up. Would you two like to come with me or pick my daughter up from the Academy?"

"With you." Li smiled kindly.

"I second that." Dante answered.

The trio then left the Hokage's office and Saiki bowed to the Sandaime saying, "Thank you so much for letting me use your office."

"It was no problem." Sandaime shrugged it off.

Saiki caught up to Li and Dante and they went off to the grocery store.

Sakura walked towards her seat and she sat down on a bench in the back of the room. She pulled out her mp3 player and began playing She Was Dead, by SR-71. She nodded her head with the beat and she placed her feet up on the desk. She then heard, "Hey listen, I was sorry about what I said before."

She looked over at Kiba and pulled out one earpiece and waved her hand replying, "Nah, it was cool. But I know and you know that you meant that anyways. So, if you are sorry, do you want to tell me your problem?"

"I guess that I can." Kiba answered. "Alright, I'll tell you. You see, for a long time I've had a crush on Hinata, but she doesn't even notice me. The only person she notices is Uzumaki and I just want her to be with me."

"Yea, I understand how you feel, except with Sasuke and now I gave up. I hate his guts now. I realized that he was a stupid childhood crush and that we were never meant for each other. If it was me, I would give up on her and go to someone else."

"I guess so." Kiba sighed. "But I really care about her."

"Too true, but I heard from her that Sasuke likes her too."

"Uchiha as well?"

"Yep. I don't blame you for being pissed at both guys. I'm pissed off at Hinata, no offense Kiba, Sasuke, Naruto, and Ino."

"None taken about Hinata but yea, I'm pissed off at Sasuke and Naruto! Not Ino though."

"Yea but you've got to admit, the whole room throws themselves at Ino and Sasuke. I don't know about Hinata and Naruto, but I guess they do now throw themselves at the two. I know about people loving Hinata, but I thought that everyone hated Naruto?"

"You have a good point about that."

Kiba and Sakura began to think about the reasons why they began to love Naruto and the duo scratched their head screaming, "I can't think anymore!"

The room looked over at the duo and one of the girls came in the room and yelled, "Calm down people. Sasuke and Ino are coming in with Naruto and Hinata. So, we have to be the perfect class okay people?"

"Yes ma'am." the class answered her.

"Yes psycho biatch." Sakura and Kiba muttered to themselves.

The girls all swooned and cooed at the two couples that walked in. The guys looked at the two couples in envy, but they liked them too. The only two that hate this arrangement are Sakura and Kiba. They both loathe the four of them. Ino grabbed Hinata's hand and squealed in delight, "Congratulations Hinata for getting together with Naruto. You two are so perfect for each other."

"Oh thank you Ino." Hinata told her. "I've told Naruto my feelings and we began dating immediately. He said that he cares about me too."

Sakura and Kiba just sighed and rolled their eyes. She just placed her other earpiece back in and repeated the song that she was listening to before. Kiba then asked her, "What song are you listening to?"

Sakura looked at him and held out an earpiece for him and he gave her a look, she then replied, "Place this in your ear and listen."

"Oh." Kiba looked back at her. He then placed the earpiece in his ear and he almost choked on his spit. He muttered, "You have got to be kidding me?"

"Nope." Sakura gave off a smirk. "Want me to sing it?"

"No." Kiba quickly shook his head.

"If you say so."

Sakura began to mumble the song to herself and Kiba joined in. The duo began to nod their heads to the beat until the door opened to find two grown men walk in. Kiba and Sakura looked over at each other and they stayed in the back of the room so that no one would know that they are listening to music. She then heard Ino ask, "Iruka-sensei, you what the test is going to be like am I right?"

"Ah yes Ino." Iruka smiled at her. "But I will tell you tomorrow okay?"

"That's fine, but can we prepare?"

"Ninjutsu. Prepare in ninjutsu and that's all I say and no, it's Academy based so you don't have to worry about the complex stuff."

The class continued on as normal and Mizuki began to explain about the importance of taijutsu in ninja life. He told the class that taijutsu is the basis of everything that is learnt throughout life in the Academy. He then mentioned about blood limits and how they work into the importance of ninja society. Sakura mimicked his lips and muttered to Kiba, "Blah, blah blah."

Kiba began to crack up, but kept his laughter to Sakura and himself. They slapped each other a high-five, but Ino over heard the duo. She raised her hand and said, "Kiba and Sakura are talking out of line. Shouldn't they be punished?"

The class muttered to themselves and then Hinata told Ino, "Kiba shouldn't be punished. Remember Ino, Kiba's a part of the community. He comes from a ninja family and if anything happens…besides, Sakura should be punished because she isn't a part of a ninja family."

"That's right." Ino smirked towards Sakura, but frowned towards Mizuki. "She deserves to be punished because she isn't part of a ninja family."

"Very well." Mizuki shook his head. "Sakura, I want 100 hundred laps around Konoha and I also want you to wear these 100 pound weights on each leg and arms."

Sakura's eyes widened slightly and then she closed them. She could hear the whole class laughing at her, except for a select few. So, she walked towards the front and grabbed the weights. She fell face flat on the ground and then the laughter picked up. Of course, she placed the weights carefully on her body and began to walk out of the room. However, Mizuki told her, "You must run, not walk. If you can't do that, then you don't deserve to be a ninja."

She growled mentally at Mizuki, but then she began to jog out of the room. She went towards the streets and she began to run, but she tripped over herself. She continued to jog as she noticed people look over at her and whisper about her. She began to pant heavily as she slowly sat down at what looked like to be the grocery store.

A few minutes later, she noticed her mother walk out with the two men she saw before. Her mom looked over at her torn daughter and gasped, "Are you OK dear?"

"I'm fine mom." Sakura gave her a reassured smile. "I'm just a little tired."

"Dear, you're not fine. Now, tell me what's going on?"

Sakura sighed and began to explain to her mother about what happened. Her mother just sighed in mental pain, "Sakura. I didn't know that they did this to you. Why haven't you ever told me?"

Dante and Li watched the scene play and they both thought, 'So this is Sakura huh?'

Dante looked over at Li and then back at the two on the ground. He saw that Saiki was protecting her child and he knew that feeling. Even though he hates children, he knows what it's like to try to protect them. He coughed, "So, can we get going?"

Li gently slammed his elbow in Dante's side and hissed in his ear, "This is supposed to be a sad moment."

Dante slapped Li's back saying, "Stop being a party pooper. Anyways," he then turned towards the girl, Sakura, and continued, "You need to stop being a baby and get up. Even though they place you down, use a comment back at them. You know, throw words back at them."

Sakura looked up at the two men that stood behind her mother and asked while drying her tears, "What are your names?"

"I'm Li," Li answered with a bow. "It's nice to meet you."

"And I'm Dante. No last name, just Dante," he answered with his hands crossed. "Oh, and don't ask about family name thing. Families are long and though. They lead to problems. Going solo is the way of life. No offense Saiki."

"It's nice to meet you." Sakura said as she tried to stand up. She was about to fall back down again, but Dante caught her and she muttered, "Thank you."

"No problem kiddo." he answered.

Sakura just sighed as she plopped her arm onto Dante's waist and he placed his arm around her waist helping to support her. She sighed again, "I need to go and continue with my jog."

"Can you do 100 in one day?" Li asked.

"No." Sakura blushed in embarrassment. "But I can try."

"You shouldn't try something that you can't do yet. It's much better to take baby steps then rush immediately into training. That's how training is supposed to be. I don't know what they teach you, but I don't think that they are teaching you right. Am I correct or incorrect?"

"Well, the teachers tended to focus on those who had potential."

"So I am correct. Oh well, at least we can try to help you get better."

"Wait what?! You want to help me?"

"Well yea of course we do." Dante stated and he then shrugged, "Besides, we'll show these jerks what you can do. All you need is someone who'll cheer you on."

"Sakura, I agree with what Dante here says. I asked him for his help because I know that he can help you, along with Li, help you to find your dream as a ninja."

"I want to be a ninja, but I want to have my own reason on being a ninja. Unfortunately, my reasons were for the wrong way then the intended right way." Sakura gave off a sigh.

"You know, caring for someone makes you a lot stronger then having revenge and wanting power for only yourself." Li stated with an all-knowing knowledge.

"Well, I agree with Li," Dante stated. "However though, caring for someone should come second to training. Focus on the training instead of to that person. A good example would

be trying to help out a family mate or something. I don't know, just find something you care about."

"I guess that for now, I'll fight for my family and for me of course. I'd also dream about being the best ninja in all of Konoha." Sakura smiled.

"Who said anything about being a ninja?" Dante teased Sakura.

"That's kind of mean." Sakura gave off a pout.

"I know, it's my job. Anyways, don't worry your pretty head about being a ninja. Who knows, maybe you'll enjoy what's going to happen next."

"Wait," she asked. "What do you mean about that?"

Dante just smirked at Sakura and helped her to her house along with Li carrying most of the groceries as well as Saiki tagging along with part of the groceries as well.

Haseo Aurion: Dang that was one long chapter. Anyways, I hope that you've all enjoyed chapter 1 of Sakura: Ninja Contractor X Hunter.
