Uchiha Itachi

"No." I said to myself shaking as I read the Italic print on the scroll.

Out of all the ANBU captains mine had to be him! Why me? Why him? Uchiha Itachi is known for being cocky, rude, and arrogant. Not only that but he puts his subordinates through so much training that he receives new ones monthly! To put it simply he is a pain the the ass to work with.

Well, he has another thing coming if he thinks that he can get to us! My inner screamed.

Tomorrow was going to be a long day I thought to myself as I set my alarm but of course my insomnia loves to kick in on the most important days.

Beep Beep Beep BEEP BEEPPP

It was 5 a.m when my alarm went off and I swear that damn thing just kept getting louder and louder! Stupid Uchiha for making us meet so early in the morning;and on the other side of town to top it off! I rushed through the door proud of myself for making it there so quickly. I was not a morning person so I was pretty used to rushing early in the mornings.

"You're late." Itachi said as I came through the front door. I knew I should have woken up earlier I thought to myself as I looked down at my watch. Wait a minute, I did a double take at my watch and saw that I wasn't late at all.

"I'm on time." I shot back at him without thinking.

"If you are not here before me you are late. If you don't like it then go." He shot back.

What an ass! My inner was screaming.

Who the hell does he think he is?

"I understand." I said bitterly as I looked at him in his cold onyx eyes not moving an inch.

"The rest of you may leave." He said to the others never taking his eyes off of me.

I looked around and saw Uzuki Yugao and Nara Shikamaru take a bag and leave as they gave me a look that said, I wouldn't want to be you right now, and hurried out. When the door shut with a click Itachi came towards me and stopped just inches from me.

Damn Uchiha, why was he so close? I swear I could almost feel his warm breath as he leaned down to observe my hair.

"W-What are you doing?" I asked a little skeptical. He didn't answer me for a while. I felt fingers run threw my hair and right then I let out a soft sigh.

Get a hold of yourself Sakura! I can't believe I just sighed. What was wrong with me?!

I can't he looks even better up close! My face reddened when he brought my chin up with his index finger. I closed my eyes waiting for his lips to touch mine.

Why isn't he kissing us? My inner screamed. I opened my eyes to only see the anger in his. It was no secret that Itachi was one of the best looking guys in the village but why did he have to be such an ass? Why couldn't I get a hold of myself and why wasn't he saying anything?

"Why is your hair so pink?" he finally asked me. I backed up and slapped his hand away from mine; or rather I would have if he wasn't so damn fast to move it before I could hit him.

"What's wrong with my hair being pink?" I yelled.

"If you haven't noticed you are a ninja you would be seen from a mile away with that pink hair of yours. I suggest that you quit now and try something…more suitable."

I paused.

The nerve of that man! Who is he to tell me to find something more "suitable".

"I think I'll stay thank you." I said with a smile on my face and hands on my hips.

"Very well then." He said with a smirk.

The nerve of this man! My inner was ready to pounce.

"As of now you are unable to get your ANBU uniform or equipment because you were late. I will not accept tardiness I am not Kakashi." He said pissing me off even more.

"Unfortunately." I whispered under my breath. For the second time today he grabbed my chin, more firmly this time, and brought his lips to my ear.

"Listen or you will also be punished for talking back." He let go of my chin and put his fingers to his temple as if he were aggravated with me.

HA I hope you get many more headaches. My inner laughed.

"As I was saying, you will run 20 laps around the village before you are given your gear.

"What!" I yelled. "B-But that's not fair." This man was crazy! Did he even know how big the village was?

"What did I say about interrupting?" he said eyebrow raised and even more annoyed at my whining.

"You weren't even taking and it would take me at least an hour to just run Konoha three times at a normal pace." I stated.

"I will be at your home by three to give you your gear. If you are not finished by then don't bother being an ANBU member of my team.
