Hey guys umm.. so I'm new to all this, so please go easy on me. Yeah, so here is the prologue, chapter one will be up tomorrow.
ENJOY
It was dark as she opened her eyes. The first thing she saw were the stars adorning the night sky. She faintly registered the dull pain and the numbness of her body. Emerald eyes widen as the overwhelming memories came flooding back. It was supposed to be a simple mission nothing she couldn't handle, or so she thought. If only things hadn't gone so wrong…

"You are late… again!" The calm voice of the fifth hokage betrayed nothing of her angry thoughts. "Sorry, sorry I-" "Save it!" the blond woman felt her patience slipping to nonexistence, she inwardly sighed trying to keep her cool. "The reason I summoned you here is to give you a mission, a B rank at that, you are to escort a man to Mist he will be awaiting for you by the gates in two hours" "Shisou, why isn't Naruto coming with us?" The hokage felt her anger flare yet again "There is information that akatsuki members have been wondering around at the borders of Mist, I doubt that's true but these damned elders won't allow me to send him, the risk is too great they say." She hissed out the last part rubbing her temples in a fruitless effort to prevent a record-breaking headache "It's just you Sai and Kakashi for this one. There is additional information in this scroll" she flawlessly tossed an ordinary looking scroll to Kakashi "Go pack you leave in two hours, DON'T-" she stressed glaring at a certain someone "-be late"

Two hours past in a blur for Sai; he packed, he secured his apartment and soon he found himself walking towards the gates. He was the first to arrive, as usual, ten minutes before set hour. By the gates stood a young man around twenty two "Hey, are you by any chance one of the shinobi to take me to mist?" He asked his voice betraying indifference. "Hai, I'm Sai" The man eyed him with no particular interest "Niko" He then turned to observe the deep forest that gained Konoha its name.
Sai took this opportunity to study the man; he was taller than himself a bit tanned with dark brown almost black hair held in a low ponytail, his bangs framing his face in both sides. His eyes were a sky blue that seemed too innocent. He wasn't all that muscular but he was fit, obviously a civilian.
Sai was brought back to reality by the footsteps coming their way and was met by a smiling pink haired girl as he turned around. "Hey!" "Hey Ugly!" as usual he remained unaffected by the evil glare sent his way. Someone else seemed pretty excited though, "Don't tell me that this wonderful young lady is your teammate?" He said eyes glued to the girl "my name is Niko and I'm really pleased to meet you!" He grinned from ear to ear "Umm… Sakura" "A lovely name, not a surprise at all" Sai was surprised, to say at least, that man didn't seem friendly at all not two minutes ago. His mind scanned almost automatically for anything he read on a book about such a behavior, meanwhile Sakura was trying to chase away the nervousness caused by their client's piercing gaze.
That's the state Kakashi found them about ten minutes later. "Yo!" "Kakashi-sensei you're late!" Said the lone girl something between anger and frustration evident in her tone "I-" "Save it, I've heard it before." 'That girl is becoming just like the fifth, it's creepy' The silver haired male sweatdroped "And you must be Niko, we will be accompaning you to Mist" Niko just nodded "Let's go" Sai started forward followed by Sakura.
Kakashi watched their client's eyes focus on the girl and the to his immense delight( note the sarcasm) trail lower than he would have liked. How dare he look at his Sakura like that, no, no, that came out wrong, how dare he look at his innocent little student like that! He resisted the sudden urge to sharingan the boys ass and forced the scowl off his face. This is going to be one long journey.
And it was a long one indeed…..
So here it is, let me know what you think ;D
