Title: Love and Hate Author: Gemini Kiss Characters/Pairing: Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Itachi Genre: Romance/Angst Rating: T Disclaimer: I do not on Naruto...or sasuke would be dead Summary: Sakura is wanted by a sexy S-class criminal.
As soon as Sakura woke up this morning she couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen, today. It wasn't those "good or bad types." But, it annoyed her to no end. She sighed.
She rummaged through her closet and settled on wearing Tsunade's genin outfit (A/N: It's a bigger size!) with a fishnet under shirt and shorts. Sakura received it when she passed the jounin exams. Then Sakura put on her blue heeled ninja sandals.
Sakura put her hair into a high ponytail and tied her Lead headband on her neck. She walked over to her full body mirror and examined herself. She could pass for a simple genin if it weren't for her C sized chest. Sakura secured her hidden weapons pouch left her apartment.
Today she had a B-ranked mission with Naruto and Sai with to retrieve a scroll from Suna about Akatsuki's whereabouts. They were to keep a low profile and dress less "ninjaish" as Naruto put it.
As she approached the gates she could already hear Naruto's loud protests, and Sai's obnoxious comments. Sakura sighed.
"Naruto please lower your voice, I bet the whole village could here you." Sakura said softly. When she reached to the two bickering boys.
"BUT SAKURA-CHAN THA-!" Naruto complained loudly.
"Shut up dickless" Sai said.
"SHUT UP YOU BASTARD! IM GON-" Naruto was cut off when Sakura flicked his forehead.
Naruto stumbled back a few steps.
"Owie…Sakura-chan, Tsunde-baa taught you that?" Naruto questioned while rubbing the red spot. Sakura nodded.
"Sai please don't aggravate Naruto. I really don't want to deal with you two." Sakura said softly.
"Okay hag, but only since you've got a lot nicer."
Sakura smiled softly. "Thank you. Now, don't do anything stupid just because Kaka-sensei or Yamato isn't here. Let's head out."
As they traveled to the wind country, Sakura couldn't help but think about Sai's words.
"Okay hag, but only since you've got a lot nicer."
Flashback
'It is true you have changed, but for the better. You finally gave up on Sasuke. You're not so…bitchy...no offense and you surpassed Hokage-sama! Sakura you've fully blossomed into something beautiful." Ino said at the party held for Sakura's success in making Jounin.
"S-she's right S-sakura-san. G-good j-job" Hinata stuttered shyly.
"Mhm! That's right Sakura-chan! You're super awesome! But you're still scary. Like when we were training the other day. You turned all cold and heartless! Like Sasuke-teme." Naruto stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Yea he's right ugly" Sai piped in.
"You don't know Sasuke, Sai" Sakura said.
"No, but I he is right about the cold and heartless part." Sai replied
Naruto blinked. "Did Sai-teme just agree with me…WHOO! I'M NOT A DUMBASS!" Naruto began dancing around happily.
Everyone sweatdropped at Naruto's outburst.
End of flashback
Sakura's thinking was suddenly interrupted when she felt two dark chakra aura's.
"Sai! Naruto! We have company!"
All three halted to a stop.
"Guess what Itachi-san.!Pinkie discovered us first! " A blue sharkman said.
Sakura's eyes widened. 'Itachi? Oh, shit…were they here for Naruto?'
Then Sakura's face turned slipped into a cold and blank stare.
"Kisame Hoshigaki" Sakura regarded coldly
"Pinkie knows my name!" Kisame grinned.
"What do you want?" Naruto glared.
"We want to inform you about Orochimaru's death," A cold smooth voice replied.
There Itachi was sitting on a tree, looking bored as ever.
"Seems to be to good to be true. Why would Akatsuki do such a nice thing?" Sakura said with that blank voice of hers
"Hn."
"Think of it as a favor! Pinkie sure is smart! I can't wait for our new partner. Well, can we go now Itachi-san?"
Before anyone can blink. Itachi appeared behind Sakura.
"See you soon Sakura-chan." he whispered against Sakura's ear. Then he placed a a butterfly kiss on Sakura's shoulder.
Sakura suddenly felt pain on her neck.
Then they were gone.
Sakura felt herself fall into someone's arms as she blacked out.
Sakura woke up to find herself in a hospital bed.
'What the hell happened?' she thought.
"Sakura-chan! You're awake!"
"Naruto?"
"Thank Kami! Sakura-chan I have bad news..."
"What is it?
Sasuke-teme is back..with a fiancee.." Naruto said quietly"
