Summary: The mission was simple, get there, deliver, and get back. They did the Get There and Deliver part... but the getting back seemed to be more difficult than they thought...

Yet... Kukukuku... runs off with butterfly net
The team... It use to mean everything to her... She lived for her team, made sure they were still alive, that no matter what possibly happen to them they would pull through. She became a medicnin just to make sure that they would live another day. She even learned to control her strength so that it could help them in their battles...
And this is how she was repaid...
"You Bastard!!! Get back here!!!" A blur of dark brunette hair whizzed past her deadpanned face, soon followed by a blur of blonde.
Sakura's pink hair swayed lightly as the two flew past... Her repayment wasn't enemies trying to kill her teammates... oh, no, it just couldn't be that simple, could it? They just had to try and kill each other... of course...
It was probably started the same way it did every time. Naruto would start gloating to the silent Uchiha, trying to get some sort of reaction from the other, but Sasuke wouldn't even move... well, if you looked closely you might be able to see the steady pace of his exposed chest's patterned breathing... very, very closely... But, anyway, the silence would annoy the blonde and he would start insulting the other. Only to still not get any reply... The blonde then would[a. get pissed and ignore the brunette or [b. as a last resort to get a reaction, attack the Uchiha... looks like plan B won out this time... Again
It was the same routine that team 7 went through every day since Uchiha was released from house arrest... the teen returned shortly after Naruto's first attempt to bring him back, he came of his own free will. The elders showed favoritism toward the last Uchiha after learning of Itachi and Orochimaru's deaths, assuming that they were caused by the name of the Leaf if their killer was part of their village. Once again.
Sakura rolled her eyes at the two's antics. They really had no idea how much they grated on her nerves, their constant battle (even if it was slightly one-sided) never ceased to cause the largest headache. She rubbed her temples to try to relieve the tension building in between her eyes. At that moment Sai appeared beside the rosette(1) and continued their wait for Kakashi-sensei.
The scarecrow(2) arrived sometime around On Time, which should have been their first indication a bad omen had found them.
"Alright kiddies," Aggravated twitches flowed from a tuff of blonde and rose, and their teacher's eye crinkled into a smile, " as you know, their have been a few negotiations being discussed between the Suna and Konoha villages. The Kazekage had a few... conditions... And, here," Kakashi slipped out the scroll from in his vest and held it out, " we have the hokage's answers. I think you can figure the gist mission."
The four stared.
"...So they just want us to deliver the scroll to the Kazekage?" Sakura asked a little irked. "But that's not in our ranking! It's at most a gennin level!"
Here, would be the part where Kakashi would say a lengthy explanation on that about why they shouldn't be doing this, and that she was indeed correct, that his students were the best and deserved harder missions... Yeah... right. This would be the perfect time to... not hit below the belt... of course not, but more like hit his two favorite students in the back of the knee and watch as they hit the ground where a very jagged rock was placed just perfectly (not by him of course) at their crotch. He again crinkled his eye in amusement. "Maa, Sakura, you're very incorrect. It's not in your ranking." he turned to face a certain blonde and brunet. His grin still firmly in place, "It's in your gennin teammate's rankings..."
All eyes turned to the Uchiha and Uzumaki.
"..." Tension spawned from the unresponsiveness of the avenger and loudmouth. Then slowly ...3, 2, 1... Light bulb.
"What!? You mean that only me and Sasuke-bastard are being sent away to Suna alone, while you three sit back and do nothing!?" Naruto protested unhappily.
There was a pause for silence. "Precisely ." The older man grinned and watched as his team faltered at his aloofness. "Sakura, Sai, you may leave now. " he turned his head in their direction," I need to brief these two on there mission." The Scarecrow then shooed the remainder of their team Kakashi away.
Turning his now serious gaze on the boys for a moment, he then inched closer to them. "You two... this mission is very important." He stared the two in the eye, "While it is Gennin level, its responsibility surpasses that of a Jounin or ANBU, do you under stand?" Kakashi turned an intense eye on the two. "I don't want you two to do any needless bickering while in Suna, Kazekage-sama needs this document. Do Not Screw This Up. " Kakashi turned away to leave...
Then as an after thought he added "Oh, yes, and, before I forget, if you complete this successfully... "he grinned in amusement, "the chuunin proctors would be willing to advance you through as just a two man team... " The obvious gloating humor in his voice was made evident by the cocky chortle he issued before telling them to meet back here half an hour before dawn, packed and ready to go.
Dawn. The crisp scent in the air right before the sun fully sets, lulls the world into a calm that only Dawn can. The soft colors of the setting sun sooth the mind forcing the senses to dull and relax... This is why a ninja must force their body to become resistant to this natural sedative. The Dawn to an untrained maggot, fresh from the academy might let this natural force make them become unresponsive and vulnerable. But not to a seasoned shinobi like Uchiha and Uzumaki.
Shortly after their arrival Kakashi entered the scene with a capsule containing the scroll. "Take this," he said, "give it directly to the Kazekage, and return home. That's all." The scarecrow nodded handing Sasuke the scroll and then spared them one more glance. "And be careful..." Their sensei whispered as he felt a pang of insecurity mull over him as he watched the two go. 'be very, very careful...'
(1) Turns out that's a real word! 0.o who knew? I didn't! (the word actually has to do with architecture... . ;;; )
(2)Kakashi Scarecrow (I hope you already know this ) (∧\\) - It's a kakashi face:B
------------------------------------
o.0... Okay how was that for a first chapter? gets shot XP well my intentions for this is to be a Harry Potter+Naruto crossover, and I think I might continue with that. Unless I receive a sugestion strong enough to change my mind...
Random thought: Something thing I've noticed while reading fanfics... Everyone calls Tsunade Obaasan or Obasan, right? Well when using Obasan and not Obaasan, It can be taken as 'Aunt' or 'grandma' ... I just find it so funny that everyone uses it as Granny and no-one uses it as Aunty (or if they do I haven't seen it . ;;;)... But I must say that Granny's funnier though... X3
