The result

Sakura Haruno, the highly skilled pink headed medic ninja from the hidden leaf village, was out of breath. This NEVER happened, but this was different from her usual easy missions. Tsunade, the female Hokage had issued her the top secret mission to escort a girl to the corner of the fire county. At first she had been reluctant, after all she had just returned from a tiring mission to the rain country, the idea of running off again wasn't high on her to-do list.

"It's very important you go Sakura" muttered Tsunade, as she propped her head up with her hands.

"They need a medic ninja"

"Then send a different one, im exhausted" she complained, slumping in the brown chair in front of the desk.

"I just got home!"

"Im afraid that you're the only one with the skills for this mission" she sighed, looking at the stacked paper work in front of her

"But I just got home" she mumbled again.

"Sakura, this is a very important mission that I just can't send anyone on. You HAVE to escort this young girl back to her village"

Sakura raised a pink eyebrow sceptically, at her teacher.

"Im sure you could send a less experienced for such an easy mission" she yawned, stretching her slander arms above her pink head, arching her back.

"Did I mention that she is a Jinchuurriki" she muttered casually, signing some papers.

"She needs someone that's alert Sakura, it's important that she returns safely"

The konuchi rolled her emerald eyes, knowing that her soft heart wouldn't allow her to refuse.

"Fine, but only this once" she muttered cracking her knuckles sitting up straight in the chair.

"Oh, and another thing, she is on the wanted list for the Akatsuki"

Sakura looked at her teacher with pure shock. That's why she wanted her to go on the mission, because she was experienced, because S-classed criminals were after the girl.

"I don't want a medic with limited information going on this mission Sakura, it's very dangerous"

She sighed, obviously troubled by the thought of it.

"Usually I wouldn't send you out on this type of mission, its far to risky, but it's important she gets home. We can't have her here much longer, it's making Naruto's demon restless, and besides, the village will pay you greatly for her return"

Sakura frowned at the memory. The girl had turned out to be a trap, and a very convincing one, leading her and the other ninja's that were accompanying into the feared group's hands. Sakura had acted quickly to the change in situation, and had taken the girl and made a run for it through the forest, hoping that she wouldn't be encountered.

Unlikely

She was halfway through when she noticed the animals. They had all gone.

"Where is everything?" she whispered, stopping on a thick tree branch crouching to keep her balance, her eyes scanning the area, that's when she realised it.

Chakra signatures, everywhere.

She looked around wildly, trying to figure out if they could be local's, but something about the chakra was different. It seemed more sinister, if that was even possible. She frowned knowing that escaping the reach of the group would be harder than expected, especially getting out alive.

"Ok," she murmured, setting the bewildered girl down on the branch.

"Stay here and DON'T move im going in for a closer look to check if this is a safe route" she muttered sternly, focusing her energy on cloaking her chakra.

The small girl nodded and Sakura straightened up, bounding of the branch at a fast pace, trying to keep the scouting to a minimum, hoping that returning back to the girl as quickly as possible would be the result.

That's when she saw them.

"Fuck" she hissed, landing on a thick branch, crouching low, moving with the swaying tree limb.

The two figures were below her, their bamboo hats like dots in the sea of over grown grass. Their long black cloaks fluttered in the soft breeze, showing the feared red cloud print. Sakura bit her lip, brushing the pale pink hair from her emerald eyes, trying to figure out what to do next. Of course she could just throw some kunai at their pressure points, making the fight easy on her, physically. But somehow, that sort of death didn't seem to do justice to the feared S-classed crims. They needed to die more honourably that of just blood loss, they should die in battle, fighting someone better than a medical ninja. Sakura sighed, hoping that someone would come and save her, not because she was scared of battle, but her mission right now was to get the girl to safety.

"Are you sure that the medic is out here?" asked the taller one.

"Yes" muttered the other, his voice blank, like a sheet of ice.

The taller one laughed, pulling his hat from his head. He wasn't just tall

"Blue?"

That was impossible; no human could be blue and survive. Then again, thought Sakura, leaning closer, he wasn't exactly human looking. He actually resembled a fish in some way, like a shark or something; he had blue-ish hair, it sticking up above his head. She leaned closer again, careful not to lose her balance. He had a huge sword attached to his back, strips of cloth bounded around it. He grinned, showing a frightful mouthful of sharp teeth.

"Come out little girlie" he cooed, trying to sound warm and fuzzy but instead sounding even more frightful than his appearance.

Sakura sucked in a breath and jumped to another branch, careful to keep her signature low, trying to get a better look at her opponents.

"What do think we should do with the prisoner?"

What?

"Kill her" muttered the shorter one, he too taking off his hat, revealing long black gloss hair pulled into a low ponytail. That's when it clicked.

Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame

Sakura suppressed a gasp, covering her mouth with her right hand, biting down hard on the index finger.

"This can not be real" she thought, watching the two men walk through the clearing in the forest.

Even under their long high necked cloaks they looked strong. A muscular frame was present through the material as well as their height and obvious physical power. Sakura frowned, starting to think that the whole world was meant to be taller than her.

"They cant be far" muttered Kisame.

"I agree" said Itachi.

"We should just go home. We don't need that girl anyway" moaned Kisame

"Sakura is needed to succeed" said Itachi icily.

Sakura cocked her head. Succeed? In what?

What did they need her for? The only thing she could really do was be a medic ninja.

"But, why I heard that chicks a bitch on crack" moaned Kisame pulling his huge chakra sucking sword from his back.

"Bitch?" she thought, her pink eyebrow twitching.

"Who is he calling a bitch?"

"Yeah, that girl is such a whore" he murmured.

…Whore

"Slut"

She bit her lip, trying to clam her self down.

"WHORE!! SLUT!!!" screamed her inner, the girl ripping her hair out.

"That shark face fucker doesn't know when to stop"

Sakura sighed softly and mentally punched her, trying to keep her from actually saying something out loud.

"I think we should just get a different medic. This one's too much of a hassle"

She sucked in a small breath crouching to get a better look through the ever moving leaves.

"No. This one can lure out Naruto, not to mention she has surpassed even her great teacher"

"So there you sharkie bitch" she smirked.

The freakishly tall blue shinobi turned around, his eyes glued to the position where Sakura was crouched.

Oh. Fuck.

Sakura clamped her hand over her mouth, knowing she had just screamed out what she was meant to just think. Cursing to her self she leapt to another branch, careful not to make herself visible.

"Come out now pinkie and we might spare you the loss of you face" laughed the shark like man.

"At least I wouldn't have to see your face anymore, it makes my eyes bleed" she hissed, her hand returning t her mouth realising she had just said it out loud. Again.

"She's south" muttered Itachi.

Suddenly, a shower of kunai sliced through the leaves.

"Shit" she muttered, jumping to another tree, the throwing knives following her.

"The only advantage I will have is on the ground" she muttered, dropping from the trees, focusing all of her chakra to her feet, landing onto the ground with a hard CRASH.

"Damn" coughed Kisame.

"And enjoy it" she screamed, pulling all of her energy to her hand, smacking him across the face.

"Who's the whore now?" she taunted, knowing that she had to get her act together and stop being impulsive. She had already put that girl into trouble by leaving her alone.

"Still you" he hissed, swinging his huge sword at her.

"Damn, his faster than I expected" she thought, her lips forming into a pout. If there was one thing she hated was being wrong.

"You frightened?" he smirked, swinging it skilfully to her again, giving her only seconds to jump out the way.

"Crap-shit" she cursed, feeling a gash on the top of her exposed arm, frowning as the chakra leaked from her body.

"Colourful langue you have" smirked the fish, swinging again.

Sakura frowned harder. She needed a new approach, or she would never win his battle.

"You're quick, I guess it's from being a good medic right? Whore" he asked, smiling smugly at the added name.

Sakura's cheeks began to burn with anger.

"IM NOT A WHORE" she screamed, her energy focusing in her index fingers, smashing it quickly against both of his arms, making the huge sword fall to the ground.

"What the?" he yelled bewildered, staring at his limp arms.

"A perk of being me" she smirked smugly, brushing away the pink hair.

"Well, then you should be suitable for what we need you for" muttered Itachi, walking towards her, his red eyes blazing

"Wh-what?" she whispered, the gaze locked with her own, fear in the pit of her stomach.

"Fuck he's hot" squealed her inner, jumping up and down.

"Fuck off" she hissed to herself, her eyes not leaving the rich blazing red ones.

"One" he murmured, his voice sounding bored as his eyes burned into her, locking her gaze.

"Oh"

"Two" hissed Kisame

"My fucking"
"Three"

"God"

Suddenly, Sakura slipped unconscious, the blazing red eyes still fresh in her mind.

"She will make a good wall hanging" smirked Kisame, as he pulled all the energy to his arms and secured the sword to his back again.

"But is she really that necessary?"

Itachi nodded slightly, looking down at unconscious konuchi, her pink hair in her face.

"She I the most important thing in this mission, she will draw out Naruto and possibly other high ranked ninjas"

"Is that what Leader-sama wants?"

Itachi nodded.

"She is a strong healer, she can do anything"

Kisame huffed and picked up the girl, throwing her over his shoulder.

"Lets get this girl home"
