Hello! I know I should update my other story, but my mind feels cluttered with other ideas, so I need to get them out. So I will be putting out some more stories as I go, I am excited about all of them. Gotta love Sakura! So please read on, then review or PM me! Please...
Oh... Right... I do not own Naruto or any Naruto characters...
Sakura Haruno walked towards the Hokage Tower after being summoned by ANBU. Reaching the door to Lady Tsunade's office, she knocked and waited for acknowledgement. "Come in." After hearing Tsunade's voice, Sakura entered the room, to stand before the Hokage's desk.
"You summoned me Lady Hokage."
"Yes Sakura, there is a mission I have for you. S-rank. Sakura, listen, you are the only kunoichi qualified for this mission, well for the most part. You have never been assigned a mission such as this. Are you a virgin?"
"Y-yes L-lady Tsunade." Shocked at the question, Sakura now knew why she wasn't fully qualified for the mission.
Tsunade sighed, "Sakura, I need you to take this mission, you are the top medic in the Fire country, hell, in all the nations. You have experience in medical ninjutsu and poisons to complete this mission. Not to mention your new skills you have revealed since being in ANBU."
"Is this a seduction mission Lady Hokage?"
"Yes. It pains me to order you to do this. But.."
"I'll do it! If it is for the Leaf Village and only I can complete it then I will overcome any obstacle to successfully finish this mission!" Sakura's drive and determination pushed her forward. But she knew it would take away the only innocence she had left.
"Dammit, I knew you would say something like that. Well then get comfortable, because the details of this mission are going make your head spin."
That evening after a long briefing on her next mission, Sakura was sitting down at a booth in the back corner of a small shinobi bar. The table held several bottles of saké. She had ordered six bottles of the alcohol hoping to ease her mind that would not stop going over and over the mission details Lady Tsunade had given her. Two bottles were empty, and she was working on the third bottle in silence. Until her teammates entered with the ever loud Naruto. They easily spotted her and they each took a seat in the booth next to the pink-haired woman.
The bartender brought over more cups for the men, but stayed quiet because he noticed Sakura's urge to be left alone without questions. Kakashi pulled out his orange book, and hid behind it, but he was solely focused on Sakura. Sasuke kept up his stoic exterior, but felt confused as to why Sakura was drinking and why she looked defeated. Yamato wanted to pull her into a hug and tell her it would be okay, but he had no idea what was wrong in the first place. Sai, although he still had problems expressing his emotions, understood that Sakura was in a dark mood. Naruto could only think of ways to cheer her up, she looked so out of character. Where was her smile? Her teammates were worried, and tried to start-up some simple small talk. Of course Naruto, not known for his subtlety, asked the question she dreaded answering.
"Sakura-chan what's wrong?"
She sighed and gulped down another cup of saké. She refilled her cup and stared down at her reflection in the clear liquid. She couldn't say much now, but her five boys would know in the morning. She laughed sadly, "Oh Naruto, I would like to say that I could tackle any mission head on. I love putting forth my all for the Village. I just never knew how much I was willing to give up to protect those I love. It shouldn't come as a shock I suppose, I would do anything for my precious people. I just never thought this would be one of them. After everything we have been through, I was still living in a fantasy. You think as a medic-nin I would know. Know how real life is. But I am still naïve, my head in the clouds, a stupid little girl." She quickly tossed back another shot of saké, and filled it just as quickly.
Her teammates looked at her with worry filled eyes.
"Sakura, what are you talking about? You're the strongest kunoichi in the Leaf Village."
"No, Naruto. In some aspects, yes. It's alright you'll know in the morning. The Hokage would like the five of you in her office at eight. You are not allowed to tell anyone about this meeting. You cannot speak about this information with anyone outside of who is present. I just don't want you to look at me with pity. Hell, you would think at 22 I would be ready for any mission."
Yamato spoke up this time. He had never seen Sakura like this. She was putting herself down and disappointed in herself. "Sakura, what kind of mission are you going on?"
She never looked up, only stared at her sake cup. "Can't say. You'll be filled in at the meeting. Just tonight, no more questions. Please?" They all nodded. "Thank you." She knew she was throwing herself a pity party. But now she didn't care. She never took the chances that were available to her. She wanted to wait for love. Could she get anymore childish? She was angry with herself for waiting. She avoided advances from most men, her protective teammates didn't help either. But no one knew she was still a virgin, or how much value she put into it.
Naruto decided to talk about past missions. Of course the rest of Team 7 brought up the more humorous stories to try to cheer up Sakura. Kakashi actually got her to chuckle when mentioning their teamed up pranks against the rest of Team 7.
The five men of Team 7 spent the rest of the night keeping Sakura distracted and happy. But as the night became incredibly late, Kakashi had to know. "Sakura why is it that you would think we would take pity on you?"
She looked at her former sensei and sighed. She was so intoxicated that she didn't filter herself. "I put more meaning into everything. After I had killed someone for the first time, it devastated me. I honestly considered quitting. I wanted to turn away from being a shinobi. After I concocted my first poison, it made me sick to my stomach. Knowing that it would be used on another human being. And medical ninjutsu is used for healing, but can easily be used to kill. When I turned my medical ninjutsu into a weapon against an enemy I realized how much it hurt me. As a medical ninja, I think it hurts more to take away a life, especially knowing exactly how their body reacted. It's second nature to me to know what has happened, the pain they feel as their body shuts down from blood loss, poison, or from being hit by a deadly ninjutsu attack. My emotional attachment is my downfall, my weakness. I let my feelings guide me, my heart should be nothing but an organ when it comes to being a shinobi." Her teammates listened to her with a heavy heart. Kakashi and Yamato already had an idea about what kind of mission she had been assigned to complete. They were all protective over their pink-haired teammate. What she didn't know is that they all knew how innocent she was when it came to the opposite sex. And they wanted to keep it that way.
So... Thoughts? Comments? I hope you like what I have so far. Ha ha ha any guesses about the meeting? Please review!
