--xXXx--Time skip

It was hot. Jumping though the trees. Of course, it was Fire country. It was going to be hot.

Sakura looked back at her team mate, Kakashi, who was launching himself from tree to tree behind her. They were on a two man team at the moment. Naruto and Sai had been sent on a different mission. Neither of the missions was suppose to be hard, thus making it where they could go as two mans. It was mid day, and Sakura and Kakashi were headed to Sand, to visit Gaara, The Kazekage of Suna. That was "their" mission. Kakashi was her "escort" to Suna. She was going to help Gaara in training a better staff of medic nin for the Kaga. He had requested her specifically. Being that she was Tsunade's apprentice, they felt it that she went as a lower rank shinobi than she was, Kakashi being the ANBU that was guarding her.

Saukra's thoughts kept going to the scroll that had been handed to her by Tsunade earlier that day, the one that she had in her bag. She sighed inwardly, thinking about the task at hand. Tsunade had given her a different mission than the one that was taking her to Sand. She was to drop Kakashi and head out alone, towards Sound. She growled inwardly at the thought. She was bait for Orochimaru. Everyone knew that the last Hokage had rendered his arms useless. He had gone to Tsunade to try and talk her into healing them for him. She had refused. Then he had been thought to have been killed by Sasuke. That, however had not been the truth. He had hidden himself deep in Kabuto. And soon had found a way to extract himself from the male medic nin, finding his own body. And again he was on the search for more vessels. It was uncertain of how Sasuke ended up once again, with the snake sannin, he had, however. And now they resided in sound again. With Sasuke's new team.

This was her mission. To give herself over to Orochimaru. To let herself be captured, with thoughts that he could get her to heal his arms for him, all the while, trying to get though to one Uchiha Sasuke. How she was suppose to accomplish this, she was unsure of.

Kakashi didn't know, obviously. Had he, he probably would have tried to stop her. No. He would have tried to stop her. He would have told her that this couldn't happen. All she would do is get herself killed. Or worse. It's not that she was excited about the mission either. No. She was completely put off by the entire thing. After seeing him three years ago, and his vow to kill them both, she had put him behind her. But she was the only one Tsunade could send. Orochimaru had no use for Naruto. At least, not in the way that he would have use for her. He would have plenty of uses for her. She had better Chakra control. She could heal his arms. Kabuto couldn't. She could help keep his experiments alive. Kabuto couldn't. At least not for as long as she could.

Sakura pushed part of her fallen hair back behind her ear as she jumped to the next tree. Her short pink hair had grown back out. It was pulled up into a high pony tail, save for the few that fell around her face. The red shirt she normally wore was replaced by a long sleeve darker version, that ended not far below her breasts, unzipped, billowing around her. The black, spandex like wrapping was wrapped around her chest, black mesh falling from where the wrap stopped below her breasts down to her waist line. Her pale skin could be seen though the holes. She wore shorts that we considerably shorter than normal, the medic belt still wrapped around her body. Her black knee high boots still part of her fashion. The kunai pouch on her right leg was held there by wrapping gauze. She had black gloves covering her exposed hands, the fingers missing. Her Konoha headband was no longer sported on her head, but around her neck instead. She had grown into a beautiful woman over the years. This hadn't gone unnoticed by the males in Konoha either.

She had her ears and eyes open, listening, watching for anything and everything. She flicked her eyes to the side, noticing that Kakashi was having issues keeping his own eyes on the mission. Instead they were on her. It annoyed her. He was her teacher, her partner. Her…superior. It was weird and slightly creepy. But she'd never let onto it. Of course not. If she had, he'd only make it worse for her.

Kakashi was watching Sakura from his placement behind her, his one dark eye roaming over her figure. He watched her leap in front of him. It wasn't a bad view, no not at all. But she was his student. His student who had turned cold and almost heartless. His student who had all but pushed her friends awa from her. He saw her transformation when she, Naruto, Sai and Yamato had returned from their mission to try and bring Sasuka back three years ago.

As a child, he remembered her to be afraid to take a life. Now she was in the bingo book for the killing of Sasori of Akatsuki along with a few other missing nin. Not to mention the fact that she was also well known for her medical skills and that she was Tsunade's apprentice. She had saved Garra's brother from an unknown poison.

It had been three years since she and Naruto had last seen the Uchiha. The experience had been so hard on her that she had forgone all her emotions. Kakashi was sure she only put up with him, Naruto, and any others, because she was told to. She no longer spent unneeded time with them. It was obvious to any who had been her friends. The only people she spent excess time with was Shikamaru and Neji, and Kiba, being that they were the other three that made up her four man cell ANBU team. It was important to her that they all know each other well enough to be able to interact and plan in a split second. Thus the four had become rather close.

He heard her voice break though his thoughts.

"Keep your mind on the mission, Kakashi." She said, never turning back to look at him.

His eyes narrowed and he chose not to answer her. A few years ago, it had been him trying to keep her mind on the mission. Now it was if the roles had been reversed.

Hours went by like this. Kakashi was watching Sakura, trying to figure out how things had gone so wrong with her. Sakura deep in thought, thinking about the mission she was on, which happened to be the one that was completely different than the one Kakashi was on.

Kakashi 's eye was sliding down her body once more when he saw her jerk around to face him. His head shot up, hoping that she hadn't noticed that he was checking her out when her charka infused knee came crashing into his ANBU mask which crushed itself into his face, his world going black.

Sakura sighed as she watched Kakashi fall to the forest floor below. He, like everyone else, had underestimated her. Tsunade had said by any means necessary. Perhaps he hadn't been able to see her coming due to his loss of peripheral vision due to the ANBU mask that he wore. Tsunade had said to discard him in anyway possible. She had discarded him in the worse way possible. Sure, she could have just left in the middle of the night while he was sleeping and she was taking watch. But she had gotten tired of his eyes roaming over her body, so she just decided to act.

Sakura dropped down, landing beside the unconscious Kakashi. She twisted the bag on her back around, until she could open it, pulling out the scroll and dropping it on top of Kakashi's chest. Then she pulled her cat like ANBU mask from her bag and zipped it closed. Quickly forming a series of hand seals, she casted a concealing justu around her former sensei before slipping the ANBU mask over her face.

"See ya round, Kakashi." She said, to the white haired man lying on the ground. She looked up before dashing off into the trees. The concealing justu would wear off in a matter of hours, if he wasn't awake by then.

---xXXx---

Kakashi woke up not too many hours later to find himself on the ground. Slowly, he sat up as to make suer that nothing was broken or bleeding. Sakura, the apprentice of the legendary Tsunade, had turned on him. His thoughts reeled back to her knee slamming into his face. Why did he not see it coming? Well, perhaps because she was a faithful ninja of Konoha. Perhaps because she had been so angry about Sasuke's betrayal. That's when he felt the concealing justu fade from around him. He was slightly confused. If she was running off, why would she bother to leave him hidden?

Kakashi shook his head, giving him site to the scroll sitting in his lap. His one visible eye narrowed as he picked it up. Forming a hand sign he popped it open to revel a mission statement.

It was signed by Tsunade.

And that was it. Kakashi sighed as he closed the scroll. So Tsunade had sent Sakura on a mission to retrieve Sasuke. He didn't think it was too smart, as the girl was more likely to kill the Uchiha before trying to save his ass.

Standing, Kakashi leaned back to look up at the sky. It was late. Close to dinner time. He'd have to camp soon. He looked ahead, straightened his ANBU mask and took off into the trees.
