Sakura felt the rage sink in as she tapped her foot impatiently against the dirt floor. She was waiting in front of the school gate for over and hour for her brother and so far he had yet to show up. "He had better not left without telling me again," she checked her phone again to see if she had any new messages or missed calls but just like the last time she checked, there was nothing to see. "Sasuke is so dead the next time I see him," The Uchiha was her step-brother; his older brother Itachi adopted her when he found her at the age of five abandon at night in the park. She didn't remember anything about her biological parents but they couldn't be too good if they left a five year old girl alone on a park bench in the middle of the night. Itachi worked as a police offer for the Uchiha family own police force and was currently away inAmericatrying to solve a big case. She had no problems with him, it was her other brother Sasuke that she had a problem with. "Urgh! I swear if this is because of that stupid Kaitou I'm going to castrate him!" she swung her arms around in an angry fashion, wishing she was hitting her stupid brother's face.

"Oof!" well she hit something but it wasn't the one she wanted.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" she quickly stopped her actions to help the person she hit stand back up.

"Its fine," she grabbed the person's hands and was surprised to see who it was that she really knocked down. "I gotta say Sakura you have some right hook."

"Yeah, sorry about that Kiba," she had hit Kiba Inuzuka. He was kind of a nerd at their school; he had really messy brown hair, almost like he never picked up a brush in his entire life. He wore big round glasses that made it impossible to see his eyes; his uniform was always messy and made his body look small and saggy. The only cool thing about him were his red birthmarks on his cheeks and Sakura found it a little sad that he didn't try and dress up more. She always thought if he did then he would look really cool. "I didn't mean to go so crazy. Sasuke just got me really upset and I kind of lost it." She felt so embarrassed for what she had done. Kiba was a really sweet guy and she thought of him as a really nice guy. He was in her group of friends but the two hardly ever talked so they weren't that close.

"Sasuke?" Kiba seemed confused as he adjusted his glasses. "That's weird. I saw him leave early today so how could he do anything to upset you?"

Sakura's mouth was wide open before it shut tight into a frown and green eyes glared to the ground. "By leaving early and no telling me thus making me wait here like an idiot!" she cried out, walking away from her school and marched home.

"Hey, wait up," Kiba came running up next to her. "What's so wrong with your brother leaving early? I thought he worked for the police so shouldn't you be happy for him?" it was a question she was asked way to often.

"I would be if he wasn't so obsessed with beating Itachi," it was no secret that Sasuke wanted to beat his older brother and prove he was the better one. "It's because of that dumb thing that now he's obsessed with catching Kaitou Wolf." The notorious thief Kaitou Wolf was a phantom criminal that has been evading the police for months now and Sasuke had taken over as the lead detective to catch the thief that even Itachi couldn't catch.

Kiba made a strange noise but she didn't pay any attention to it, she was to upset to concentrate on anything other than her brother and how she would get her revenge. "Sounds like your brother really wants to catch him."

Sakura scoffed at that. "You have no idea," she crossed her arms again and stared straight ahead. "He plans all kinds of stupid traps for him in his room every hour of the day and when they don't work he comes home to work on a new one. He's living in his own little world," her eyes started to dull as she looked downward. "I know he really wants to catch this Kaitou guy but I'm worried about him not getting enough sleep or food in him and…" she didn't know why she was suddenly confessing her inner thoughts to Kiba but now that she started she couldn't stop. "I miss my brother and sometimes I would like to spend some family time with him."

"I see," Kiba put his hands in his pockets, his school bag hanging over his shoulder. "You must really hate this Kaitou guy. Maybe you should just convince your brother to give up. I mean Itachi did and now he's actually living his life." His words made sense to her but Sakura couldn't agree with them.

"I don't hate him," she looked around slowly; she needed to make sure that no one other than Kiba would hear her. "I'm actually a big fan of Kaitou Wolf."

"You are?" Kiba had jumped in shock, his glasses nearly falling off.

"Yep," she nodded hr head, a smug grin on her face. "Anyone that's able to beat my brother and make him squirm has earned a giant check of approval from me," if this ever got back to her brother she would be in so much trouble but she figured she could trust Kiba. "While I would like it if I could have my brother back, I got to admit that it would be a little boring if Kaitou Wolf just suddenly disappeared," she looked up and saw they were standing outside her apartment building. "Well this is me so I'll see you tomorrow Kiba." She waved him goodbye and walked inside the apartment building. She got in the elevator and hit the button that would take her to the very top floor, the penthouse. The Uchiha was a really rich family so only they could afford to live in such a place.

"I'm home," she called once she entered the house but frowned when she saw that Sasuke was about to walk right out the door. "Hold it," she grabbed his collar and made him turn around to look at her. "You got some nerve brother dear to leave your cute defenseless little sister all alone at school and not tell her." she always played that card when she wanted to guilt him. She would pretend she was an innocent little girl that couldn't fight worth a damn and he was a horrible person for leaving her. Of course it was a bunch of bull. She had learned a long time ago how to fight and Sasuke knew that.

"Whatever," he only shrugged her off and continued to walk outside the door. "I needed to leave early because we got a notice from Kaitou Wolf and I had to prepare my trap for him."

"Well what are we waiting for," she pulled him by the arm and led him to the elevator. "If we hurry then we can stop for ice cream."

Sasuke sighed once she pushed the elevator button. "Sakura you are not –" he stopped when he saw the menacing look in her eyes.

"I am so," she growled and held a tight grip on his arm. "You didn't tell me you were leaving and I ended up waiting for you for over and hour so you owe me," she pulled him along once the elevator doors opened. "Now come on, I'm in a triplet scoop and sprinkle kind of mood." She would order a big ice cream cone that was dominated by hundreds of sprinkles and make her brother pay for it all.

"This is so stupid," Sakura huffed, finishing off her cone as she waited in the front seat of the police car. She had come with Sasuke on the stake out and he made her wait in the car the whole time. When the thief finally showed up everyone went running and she was left behind. "As if they're going to catch him in a giant group like that," Didn't they understand that if they spilt up and spread out they would have a better chance of catching him? By the sound of breaking glass and shouts of anger told her the answer. "They're all so stupid." She stepped out of the car to stretch her legs. This wasn't the first time she's been to one of the stake outs with her brother so she wasn't worried.

"Besides, it's not like they're going to catch him," she walked around the building; it was a museum that was being targeted this time. From what she heard, the thief was stealing a necklace that was worth millions. She walked around the side of the museum, trying to find something to amuse herself with. "They've been working on this for months and it's not like they're just going to stretch out their arms and Kaitou Wolf will suddenly appear…Ahh!"

She had not been expecting any of that to come true. She was only joking around, but in real life she reached out her arms and grabbed onto a body that was running past her. "Well, it looks like I've been caught," she stared up with wide green eyes at the person in front of her. She had just grabbed Kaitou Wolf. "And by such a cute little girl," he pushed her up against the building, his larger body engulfing her small and shaking form. "Now what should I do about you?" his nose was touching the tip of hers.

She couldn't make out his face, it was to dark out to see anything, but there was something with the way he sounded that reminded her of someone. "I-I-I…!" She couldn't form any words. What was a person supposed to say when they were face to face with a thief like Wolf?

"A little tongue tied I see," he pressed his face closer to hers; she could feel that he was wearing sunglasses. Probably to hide his face from the cops in case they ever caught a good look at him. "I guess I should help you then." He acted before she could think. His lips were on hers in an instant and she felt herself freeze up. His lips were rough over her soft ones and his tongue was swirling around inside her mouth, making her own tongue dance along with his. His body was pressed against hers and she was feelings just how strong he was, his hands held her shoulders and kept her pinned to the wall, the necklace he had stolen was in his left hand. She could feel the cold touch of the jewelry press against her shoulder.

Sakura felt her mind spinning, she tried pushing him off her but his body weight was greater than hers. "I have to hurry before…huh?" her train of thoughts was cut off when Wolf moved one hand off her shoulder and placed it on her chest. Rage boiled in her blood when he touched her there. "Hell no!" she punched him off her in a flash and panted in anger.

The famous thief flew to the ground in a loud thud; the necklace had fallen from his grasp and was by Sakura's feet. "Like hell I'm going to let you take advantage of me like that. I'll die before I –" she stopped her rant when she saw the thief sit up slowly and his sunglasses fell off, revealing his true face. "What the…" she walked forward, taking the broken glasses in one hand and messing up his hair with the other. She held the glasses up to his face and gave him a long stare.

"Kiba!" the school nerd was the notorious thief?

"Be quiet," he grabbed the sunglasses out of her hands and put one hand over her mouth to silence her. "I've worked to hard to let some stupid girl like you ruinme." He growled something that Kiba she knew never did. The Kiba she was used to was a quiet and peaceful guy, but this one was the complete opposite.

"This can't be happening. How is this even possible?" she couldn't for the life of her wrap her mind around this situation. How was Kiba, a guy that was called a nerd and picked on at school, a famous thief that had the cops running every night? She needed to know. Pushing his hand away she asked him everything that was on her mind. "How the hell are you the thief that has Sasuke so crazy he's pulling out his hair?"

"He's pulling out his hair?" Kiba looked amused when he heard that. "And here I always thought that chicken ass shape was something he was born with. Turns out he made it and all because of li'l ol'me" He worn an amused grin and let out a loud laugh. Again another new thing she wasn't used to.

"This can't be happening," Sakura felt ready to pull out her own hair. "No way any of this is real." There was just no way it was reality. She had to be dreaming or something. Hell accidentally stepping into a portal that took her to another world sounded more real than this.

Kiba laughed again, his hand took hold of her chin, bringing their faces closer together. "It's real Sakura," he whispered in a hush voice, his breath warming her cheeks. "But if still don't believe me, I can show you." He kissed her again, the same as before. His tongue tangling hers and hands holding her still as he assaulted her mouth. She couldn't stop the moan that escaped when he deepened the kiss between them.

"Sakura!" Sasuke's cries reached them both and Kiba finally pulled away.

"Looks like times up sweetie," he pulled her along for him to grab the necklace and made a dash for the police car. He opened the passenger's seat and pushed her in it. "It's been fun but it looks like we'll have to finish this tomorrow." He whispered husky in her ear and left her with a kiss to the forehead before jumping away into the night.

"Sakura," Sasuke came running only moments after Kiba left her and Sakura was still in a daze. "Are you alright? Did Wolf come this way? Did he try to hurt you?" she has never seen her brother look so worried before.

With a shaky hand she pointed in the opposite direction of where Kiba went off. "H-He went that way." She didn't know what possessed her to lie but she just couldn't tell her brother the truth.

"Thanks. You wait here while I look around. I'll be back soon." He shut the door and took off running, leaving Sakura alone with her thoughts.

"Kiba is Kaitou Wolf?" She still couldn't believe any of that. With shaky hands she touched her lips and still felt the touch of his lips over hers. "Can it really be true?" she didn't know but she would find out. Once school comes tomorrow she was going to confront Kiba and demand answer

X

"Or at least that was the plan," Sakura had been so sure of herself last night. She would confront Kiba at lunch but ever since she entered school she's been avoiding the boy like her life depended on it. "This sucks!" lunch had only just started and already she was feeling sick. Maybe she should try and get him after school? Or should she go to another Kaitou heist and wait for him there?

"Sakura," she jumped when she heard her name and the voice of who called her. "I didn't even hear him sneak up on me!" she nearly cringed when she saw Kiba standing behind her, a bright grin on his face. "Can you come with me for a second? I need your help with something important." She wanted to refuse, she wanted to do it so badly but she knew she couldn't. One because it would look really suspicious if she refused Kiba, someone who is known at her school as being a sweet and nice guy, and two because she wanted answers and she needed to have them.

"S-Sure," she tried to calm her nerves as she followed him out of the classroom and out into the school hallway.

"I'm glad you agreed. I was worried you would say no." he was keeping up the nice routine really well. Almost to well.

"Maybe I did imagine everything?" If Kiba really was the thief wouldn't she have or Sasuke have noticed a long time ago? "Why would I say no?" he led her up to the roof, a place most students didn't visit too often because of the teachers constantly checking it so they had it all to themselves.

He sent her a smile once the roof door was shut. "Because I'm Kaitou Wolf," she gulped when he spoke those words. She hadn't imagined it at all; everything that happened last night was real. "I gotta admit I'm a little surprised that you agreed to come with me. By the way you were avoiding me this morning I thought for sure I scared you off," he took off his giant nerd glasses and ran one hand through his hair, combing it out and revealing his real face. The same face she saw last night that made her heart skip a beat. "I'm glad to know I didn't scare away my number one fan." He placed his face right in front of hers and Sakura felt her cheeks burn. She had been right; if Kiba got rid of the glasses and combed his hair he would look really good.

"I don't get it," she couldn't let his good looks get in the way. She came here for answers and she wasn't leaving without them. "Why go through all this trouble of disguising yourself at school when you could live an easily life as a thief?" she knew that stealing all those priceless items had to mean he had a lot of money. So why bother even coming to school?

He just shrugged his shoulders, hands going in his pockets. "Guess I just wanted to test my skills as a thief. If I can't fool the people around me than how can I call myself a famous thief?" he grinned at her again and like before it made her face burn.

"Another thing I don't get," this was an answer she had been dying to know. "Why even become a thief? I don't see the point in it at all." She never understood why someone would want to steal something.

"Hmm?" he seemed to be thinking over his answer carefully. "I don't know. One day I saw something that I wanted but couldn't have to I stole it and guess it just progressed from there."
His answered pissed her off. "That's not a good reason," she hit him on the head and sighed. "A good reason would be like you're trying to get money for an expensive experiment for a sick relative or you're trying to get back a family jewel that was stolen."

He just shrugged again, feet giving way so he could sit against the roof door. "Sorry, but I don't have any sappy story about trying to help my crap ass family," He put his hands behind his head to stare up at the sky. "My dad left us when I was still a kid and my ma didn't understand why I had this uncontrollable urge to steal things and she and my sis looked at me like I was crazy person so I ran away when I was twelve and been living as a thief ever since than."

His reply made her even angrier. "At least you have parents." She replied bitterly.

"What are you talking about?" he raised one eyebrow, looking at her like she lost her mind. "You got parents. You and Sasuke are –"

"I'm adopted," she had kept the surname Haruno even after being adopted into the Uchiha family. He name was all she had that was rightfully hers and she wanted to keep it for as long as she could. "My parents abandoned me when I was five. They left me on a park bench, telling to stay put and wait for them to come back," tears stung her eyes as she remembered that day. Her parents had taken her to the park; she had been so excited that she was smiling the whole way. Her father had put her on a bench and told her to wait there until they came back. "I waited all night and they never came back. They left me alone! They left a five year old girl all alone without thinking twice about how she would survive on her own." It was truly only by luck that Itachi had found her. He found her curled up in a little ball, crying for her parents and trying to keep warm.

"I'm sorry," she was surprised to feel two arms pull her into a tight embrace. "I didn't know." He whispered into her pink locks, his hold gentle and calm.

Sakura relaxed in his arms for a moment, enjoying the pleasant feeling she was getting. "Thank you," she smiled up at him for a moment, happy that he had comforted her before springing into action. She put a pair of black sunglasses on his face and took a quick picture of him before he had a chance to react. "And thank you Mr. Wolf. Now all I have to do is show this to my brother." She proudly skipped to the door.

"Not happening," he pulled her back before she could take another step. "As if I'm gonna let you get away with that." He tried reaching for the phone but Sakura kept dodging his hands.

"Well I'm not giving it back." There was no way she was going to give up the only proof she had. With this she could finally get Sasuke to stop obsessing over the case and focus more on his life. He was really starting to worry her.

"Fine than," he pulled out his own phone and grinned. "Two can play at this game," in a flash he lifted up her skirt and took a picture of her underwear.

"Kiba!" she pushed her skirt down but it was too late. The photo was already taken.

"I think I'll make this my new screensaver." He grinned, showing her the photo of her pink panties flashing on his screen.

"Delete that!" she screamed, trying desperately to grab the phone.

"I will when you delete yours." He gave her a knowing look.

"Fine," she was not happening about giving in but if didn't than who knows what he would do with that picture. "Happy?" the picture was gone and so was all her proof.

"Yep," he shut his phone shut and walked towards the door, a cheerful whistle coming from his mouth.

"Wait a second," he stopped to turn around and look at her. "What about your picture? You promised you would delete it."

"I don't remember making any sort of promise," he gave her a cheeky grin and she wanted to scream. "Besides I need to keep this so I can be sure you don't go off and tell your brother on me." He had tricked her and she had fallen for it.

"Damn it, Kiba. Delete that picture right now!" she jumped at him, trying once again to grab his phone.

"Not happening," he twisted around, making his body spin until he had her pushed up against the wall. Much like he had done last night. "Silly little Sakura, you should know better than to trust a thief."
She struggled in his hold. "Well excuse me for wanting to trust people!"

He touched his forehead against hers. "I like that part of you. It's sweet,"

Her eye twitched and she slammed her head against his, making him cry out in pain and hold his head in his hands. "I'm not going to let you trick me," she stood strong and tall as she spoke. He was a thief that could evade the police and by the way he moved meant he had to have some form of martial art training. Well so had she and she wasn't going to let him think of her as a weak little girl. "If you won't delete that photo then I'll make you delete it after I've captured you myself!" she would do it. She would catch Kiba while he was on another Kaitou Wolf adventure and she would make him not only delete that photo of her but also make him quit being a thief.

Kiba looked at her through hazy eyes. You couldn't see what he was feeling no matter how you tried and Sakura didn't like it. She kept her guard up but that wouldn't help her much if he decided to attack. "So you're going to capture me?" he slanted over towards her, his body showing off his strength and power with each step.

"That's right." She showed him no fear because there was nothing to be afraid of. She would have complete faith and confidence in herself and nothing would stop her.

"Well then," he stepped right in front of her, one hand raised to rest just above her eyes. "I'm looking forward to it, Sakura." He leaned forward; his lips just above her ear and making her cheeks turn scarlet.

"I –" he moved his hand and the light of the sun blinded her. She had to shield her eyes from the sudden light and in that one moment Kiba was gone and leaving her all alone on the roof. "I will not give up," she made a vow on that roof. No matter what it took she would catch Kiba.

"Okay, now to head back to class and then head home for a…Ahh!" It took her a moment to realize that Kiba had left her with a little gift. A golden flower necklace with diamonds running all over. "This is the necklace that was stolen last month," she remembered it from its picture in the newspaper. "He must have brought it with him in case he had to bribe me," she was a little annoyed that he would do something like that. She wasn't a snitch. She would catch Kiba and it would be without revealing his secret. "I need to get rid of this before Sasuke see this!" she didn't want to know what her brother would say or do if he saw the necklace. Probably lock her away in her room until she confessed to who Kaitou Wolf really is and then ship her away somewhere.

Stuffing it inside her shirt Sakura went back to her class just as lunch ended. Kiba was sitting in his usual sit, talking with some of the guys that were telling a joke they heard in the bathroom. She watched him for a moment, the way he smiled and laughed with everyone else seemed so normal it was no wonder nobody knew the truth about him. "But I wonder…?" she watched the group of guys crack up at the punch line, even Kiba joined in on the laugh. "Is he really laughing or is it just an act?" the thought made her sad. If someone was faking happiness everyday then it must be very painful. "I can't give up!" she felt herself become even more determined as she watched him. She would catch Kiba and get Kaitou Wolf to disappear and make sure that the next smile he had on his face was a real one. She would do this.
