Oh and we DO NOT own Naruto. Although we wish we did (cuz its totally awesome). Its not for sale. Trust us, we asked :/

Well, here is the story of the Pink-Haired Maiden.

Read and enjoy!


It was noon. The sky was clear and a gentle breeze flowed over the land. A woman clad in armor lay under a sakura tree along the river bank. Her hands folded behind her head pink tresses sprawled across the ground. She was asleep. Her features were completely relaxed, peaceful. If it wasn't for the naginata* at her side and battle attire she would be easily mistaken as a lady of the castle. She was anything but that. Her body held strength hidden from the outside eye. Muscles well trained and shaped for the sole purpose of defending what she thought was right. Years spent skillfully mastering techniques to save and protect the weak and powerless. Even her dreams were filled with training and heroic antics. Saving a children from a burning building. killing bandits that threatened to raid the kingdom. All of these feats she had done and swore to do until the day she fell in battle. A man was running in her direction. Arm flailing voice raised yelling her name. She didn't stir. He realized she was asleep. A sly smirk came across the blonde haired mans face. His bright blue eyes glinting. He tiptoed a so stealthily toward her body. His face was right by her ear. As he breathed in about to scream her name, his messy hair fell and gently tickled her face. Her body tensed and before he could scream, she rolled over and punched him right in the face. The poor boy went flying into the river. She sat up grabbed, her naginata and started walking off.

When a very whinny voice called out "Jeesh Sakura why did you have to do that I was only going to wake you up", she continued to walk completely ignoring the soaked man. He caught up to her. He looked at her with extremely cute and painfully pathetic puppy dog eyes. She knew what he was doing but refused to look. He could win over Hitler with that pout and she was a sucker for cute things.

So instead she said "So Naruto WHY exactly did you wake me up?"

He snapped out of his puppy dog pout and totally 4 getting the punch to the face and said "Oh yeah Gaara wanted me to get you. He said he needed you to do something." She huffed. Any time Gaara needed her to do something in resulted in near death experiences or extremely awkward circumstances. She recollected on a time Gaara had ORDERED her to be his date to the annual ball. Then got drunk and announced he was going to marry her in front of the entire kingdom…..drunk Gaara is worse then a drunk Lee. To this day she is still getting letters from noblemen asking why they were never invited to the wedding. Sakura hoped beyond hope he wouldn't make her do something like that again.

They made their way to the training ground where a rusty red head was smiling sadistically at the new cadets he was allowed the pleasure to torture. They noticed some of the newbies where crying others curled upon the ground yelling "I CANT FEEL MY LEGS!!" trying to army crawl away from there evil instructor. Sakura and Naruto smiled remembering there first week of training.

Sakura came up to General Gaara and gave a salute and asked "What do you need from me today General?"

He turned to her and his smile turned upside down. "Unfortunately I don't have anything "fun" to give you this time. I just need you to go to the entrance of the Kingdom and welcome some new General in. He will take over my post as "instructor" apparently my curriculum might be to "challenging" for the newbies." He said, "I want you to show him round the place and get him settled in." All the cadets that weren't already crying began to weep from joy.

"Hai Gaara. I'll head out immediately" with that she left. Naruto stayed behind to comfort the cadets and began to argue with Gaara. Sakura mounted her stead Quicksilver and rode off to the outer walls of the Kingdom. Many thoughts went through her head. I hope he's nice… I'm tired of having psychopaths as my commanding officers… Seriously, who puts GAARA and ANKO in charge of peoples life!!… A small smile played at the corners of her lips.

She was approaching the gate and could just make out a man standing there beside a large packing turtle loaded down with an assortment of weapons and trunks. The man stood there in a completely lazy posture. He didn't look at her as she came to a halt five feet in front of him and dismounted.

"Excuse me sir are you the newly instated General?" she asked, studying the man. She was now close enough to see what was so interesting that he wouldn't look at her. In his hands was a orange book. An orange book that she knew for a fact contained very MATURE content. A blush graced her cheeks as she stood staring at the book. His face was hidden in a mess of gravity defying silver hair. Her first thoughts were "great an old pervert" that was until he looked up. His face was covered in a tight clothe mask that cling to a very chiseled jaw. Only one eye was visible. the other covered by a head band that had a small pug (his cute puppy) sown onto it. His visible eye was black. The same eye crinkled as if he was smiling. He snapped the book closed

"Sorry bout that. I was finishing my chapter but if I knew someone so lovely was standing there I would have looked up sooner." Even though she couldn't see it, she sensed that his smile grew wider. Her blush intensified ten fold.

"Ano General..." Sakura said. He was still smiling,

"It's Kakashi.", he replied.

She took a deep breath, "Right. General Kakashi. My name is Sakura. I will be your escort for the day and help you settle in. So If you would like you can ride my horse and I will walk along side your turtle." She shifted from one foot to another.

" No need for that (poof random dog appears that is HUGE) I have my own ride thanks." He jumped on to the animal and laid down. They traveled to the castle in a comfortable silence. She didn't want to bug him because he had returned to his book and she wanted to think bout what just happened. When they arrived a paige grabbed his luggage and Sakura guided him to his room. He was on the West wing with the other Generals. She showed him his room. It was fairly large king sized bed bathroom dresser and a wicked view of the kingdom. He sat down on the bed it looked as though he was frowning threw his mask.

"Umm.. General is something wrong with your accommodations?" she asked, glancing around the room. Everything seemed to be in order. She couldn't see anything wrong with the room, but then again she didn't know what kind of living space he was used to.

"Well kind of. Its just this bed will be cold at night. Nothing like home where all my siblings shared a bed nice worn with me to stay warm.", he replied. She looked at him with concern...he noticed.

"Is there any thing I can do?" she asked.

"Why yes" He stood up and grabbed her hands with a look of innocent endearment in his eye. "Could you stay with me awhile?"

She gave a compassionate smile. "Sure I can stay for a bit." She sat down upon the bed.

His face lit up " Great. It will only take a few nights until we thoroughly wear the bed in." He pushed her back on the bed and crawled on top of her. "Shall we begin?" he asked, seductively. A startled, horrified look flew across Sakura's face…
