A/N: So I never really wrote before and this is my first story ever. I had this idea for a while but never put it down on paper or something, but I decided to give it a shot. I don't know much about drug deals and stuff like that but I did my best. I hope you think it's, at least, a decent first chapter; let me know what you think.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
She stared at the man infront of her, her greens eyes darted back and forth as she listened to the voice that was coming from the cell phone.
"I'm killing him... I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. COVER THIS SHIT UP." She snapped and crushed the device in her hand out of anger.
The girl began to pace back and forth, her long pink hair swaying as she moved. She looked as if she was only sixteen or seventeen years old; she had a pale skin complexion but that only complemented her large emerald eyes and unusual hair color. She was currently wearing a floral print sundress that complimented her decent figure but despite her appearance, she was not someone anyone wanted to mess with. Unfortunately for the man in front of her, she was not having a good day either.
"Sakura I-"
"How dare you fucking use my name!" She yelled at the man as her back hand met the side of his face. The man wasn't bound to the chair but he wasn't going to risk running away from the pinkette, it would surely only bring him more trouble.
"I'm s-sorry... B-Blossom..." The man stuttered out, his gaze fixed on the ground.
Sakura only glared at the man cowering before her, she retrieved the .22 pistol from her desk and cocked it back which caused her victim to flinch. She pointed the gun to the side of his head and the man began to tremble in fear.
"P-Please... I a-assure you it wasn't me!" The man sobbed, his voice was basically begging her to spare his life.
As said before, Sakura was not in a good mood. "There's no way I'll have rats working for me."
She pulled the trigger back, releasing an ear splitting noise. Blood splattered all over the room and the body of the man fell lifelessly to the ground. Sakura inspected herself, noticing the blood that managed to get all over her dress.
"Fuck. My office is dirty and my dress is ruined; My day can't get any worse." Sakura sighed as she stepped over the body and made her way out if the office.
Sakura stepped out of the room into the rest of the warehouse were her buisness was running itself. It wasn't required for her to oversee every little thing, such as the plants and who was selling, as long as she got the income she was expecting she had no problem in letting her empire flow by itself. Of course she had trustees who managed smaller branches, watching over the dealers who handled her drugs, and they all made sure nothing went wrong because problems would only piss off their leader; and no one liked a pissed off Sakura.
"I see you dealt with the rat."
Sakura looked up and her green eyes met blue, amused ones. The owner of the light blue eyes was Ino Yamanka, Sakura's right hand and her bestfriend outside of the drug dealing world. Ino was a few inches taller than her bestfriend and her hourglass figure put Sakura's body to shame in comparison. Ino's long, blond hair trailed down to her lower back but was still a couple inches shorter than the pinkette.
"Yeah but Itachi wasn't so happy when I asked him to pull a few strings in the police department to cover it up." Sakura said with a small grunt. She tried to straighten out her dress even though the blood already stained the clothing.
"Well, he is still going to cover your ass regardless. You know he can't say no to his little princess." Ino said with a sly grin on her face.
Sakura only scoffed in response, not in the mood to argue with Ino about the said man. "Do you have a Tide-to-go with you?"
Ino nodded, "It's in the car, are you heading home now?"
"Yeah, I'm done with all this bullshit for today." Sakura said closing the door behind her. "I'll need someone to clean up that mess in my office."
Ino took out her cellphone and typed a few words before closing it, putting it back into her pocket. "Done. It'll be clean by tomorrow."
"Thank you Ino." Sakura said with a grateful smile. Ino was more level headed than Sakura was, so when Sakura was in a bad mood and couldn't focus, Ino was the one who made sure everything was taken care of for her best friend.
"Yeah, I know I'm the greatest bestfriend but let's head home, all this weed is just too tempting to me."
Sakura couldn't help but laugh at her friends addiction. Ino had been trying her best to break away from the unhealthy obsession but it didn't help when the warehouse was where they produced and handled the plant. Ino was also required to spend most of her time in the warehouse, dealing with all the things Sakura didn't wan to.
"Come on." Sakura said grabbing her bestfriends arm, leading her to the garage in the warehouse. "We still have to go to school tomorrow."
"Ughhh." Ino groaned as she let herself be pulled along. "Do we have to? We can always take the day off."
"No Ino, we already missed too many days." Sakura explained as they reached Ino's car.
Ino dug through her pockets searching for the keys for her Camero S.S. The car was a bright yellow with two black stripes going through the middle of the top of the car. It resembled the car that was used in Transformers to play the vehicle form of the autobot Bumblebee. Sakura had bought it for her bestfriend for her sixteenth birthday, it was the least she could do for having Ino practically raise her.
"Ah! Here they are!" Ino exclaimed as she put the key in the door, opening up the drivers door, and unlocking the rest of the doors for Sakura to get in.
Sakura climbed in the passenger seat and closed the door behind her. "Now, where is the Tide thing?"
Ino started the car and adjusted her mirrors before answering the pinkette. "The glove compartment."
As Sakura rumaged through the items in the compartment, Ino pulled out of the garage and sped away from the warehouse, leaving it just a speck in the horizon behind them.
"Found it." Sakura grinned as she began to immediately apply the Tide stick to the stains on her dress.
"Good. I'm just happy to get out of that place, Kiba was really getting on my nerves today." Ino said while putting on the sunglasses she found in the car, making her seem more radiant than she already was.
"Kiba was there?"
"Yeah," Ino replied as she pulled the vechile on to the high way. "I told him not to bother you though, I knew you weren't having a good day."
Sakura could only nod in argeement. "Yeah, I probably would've ended up killing him if he came to my office with his stupidity."
Ino laughed lightly, "I said the same exact thing."
"They killed him already!?" A blond exclaimed, slamming a fist down on his desk.
He was infuriated by the lack of knowledge he had on his competitor and every spy he had sent was killed before they could give him any worthy information. He only knew two things about the person who was in charge of the empire that was rivaling against his; The leader was a she and they called her Blossom. That was it. The boy's frustration was understandable, he didn't even have a clear description on the woman.
"This is ridiculous." He mumbled to himself. The blond was rather young, still in his teenage years. He hair was wild and uncontrollable with crucelean eyes that seemed to sparkle in the light. He ran his fingers through his hair, leaning back into his chair.
"She's good, what can I say?"
"You're no help Teme." The blonde said to the person in front of him. The boy seemed to be around the same age as the blond, either seventeen or eighteen. The young male had black hair that spiked up in many different directions and his eyes were dark to match the color of his hair.
"Hn. You do realize we have school tomorrow Naruto." The black haired boy spoke, addressing the blond in front of him.
"Oh shit." Naruto said, realizing how late into the night it already was.
"I'm leaving now Dobe, with or without you."
"I'll be right there Sasuke. Let me just put these files away."
The boy, Sasuke, nodded in response and left the office, heading to his car with his hands in his pocket. Naruto sighed as he opened the folder on his desk once again. He looked over the paperwork once again and there was no new information, nothing that would help reveal the identity of the woman he desired to destroy.
The one thing Naruto was sure of was that this woman was vicious. She was known to have a temper and had no mercy in killing someone on the spot. She was cold-hearted but that didn't surprise Naruto; Any leader had to be merciless in order to have control over their empire. In order to be the best you have to be willing to take some lives; That was just how things were. With a sigh, Naruto put the folder away in his desk and left his office, finally catching up with Sasuke in his car.
"Hn. Ready?" Sasuke asked as he looked over at Naruto who was sitting in the passenger's seat.
Naruto nodded, signaling Sasuke to leave the garage. "I really need to stop thinking about this girl so much. She's not messing up our income or killing our men, so what's the big deal?"
"The foreign investors Dobe. They are major sources of income and she already took away one of them, soon she'll be supplying all of them." Sasuke said emotionless, never taking his eyes off of the road.
"Don't you think you're exaggerating Teme? I'll figure something out anyways so don't worry, I'll handle everything."
That caused Sasuke to scoff at the blonde. "You're not exactly the ideal problen solver."
"Oh shut up, I'll deal with who ever she is... even if it means killing her with my bare hands."
"Naruto!"
Naruto stood on the quad of his of his high school, looking around for the voice that called his name. He saw a blur of pink before being tackled to the ground. Naruto could only laugh at the girl's childish antics, he knew only one person that had pink, cotton candy hair.
"Sakura-chan," Naruto laughed as he looked up at the girl who was on top of him, "what are you doing?"
Sakura smiled as she rolled over off of the blond, and on to her back on the freshly cut grass. "I missed you Naruto, I haven't seen you in forever."
"So you have to tackle me?" Naruto asked as he turned to his side to look at the girl. He gave her one of his signature grins because, in all honestly, he missed his little pinkette also.
"Sorry Naruto," Sakura said softly as she returned a smile, "have you seen Ino?"
"No, why?"
"Oh, nothing, I need to talk her about some girl things." Sakura answered Naruto, lying to him as if it was a second nature. Of course Sakura felt bad for lying to him but she did it in order to protect him. There was no way that Sakura was going to bring sweet-ole Naruto into the world of drugs, killing, and all the other bad stuff that she was involved with.
"Sakura," Naruto said as he looked over to the road where parents dropped their kids off to school, "someone is here for you."
Sakura lifted herself up, leaning on her elbows, and saw what Naruto was talking about; it was Itachi in his work vehicle, his cop car in other words. Itachi made eye contact with Sakura and motioned for her to come over, obviously wanting to talk to her about her recent work.
"I think you should go, it's probably about your parents." Naruto said, talking about another lie that Sakura once told him.
Sakura told Naruto long ago that Itachi was still working on the case of the murder of her parents, which wasn't exactly an entire lie. Itachi was once put on the case but it was closed months ago because there was not enough evidence to provide a decent trial against the one victim they had, Sakura Haruno. Yes, they believed Sakura had killed her own parents, it wasn't true but she was the only person that they could blame.
Sakura nodded in response to Naruto and got up off of the ground heading towards Itachi's car.
"Why are you here Itachi?" Sakura asked as she neared the vehicle.
"Hime," Itachi said softly with a smile on his face, "I just wanted to see if you're okay."
Sakura leaned on the passenger's side open window, "I'm fine, did you do what I asked you?"
Itachi nodded slowly and Sakura could tell his whole mood did a flip by the way he looked; his eyes looked sad, the corners of his mouth were pointed downwards, and his hands were gripping the steering wheel tightly turning his knuckles white.
"Hime, you reall-"
"I know Itachi, I know," Sakura whispered, already hearing this lecture a thousand times before, "I need to stop with the business, stop killing people, get away from all of this; I know Itachi but you know I can't."
Itachi shook his head in disproval, "Why can't you Hime?"
"Because I'm already in too deep, and I need the money; It's the only way Ino and I can support ourselves. We can't find jobs, no one will hire us, and we don't leave till college for another two years. What do you want us to do? Be homeless for two years until we go off to college?" Sakura snapped back at him, she tried explaining this to him millions of times before.
"I told you, you guys can come live with me if it's necessary."
"And what about Sasuke?" Sakura questioned, "You want us to mix our lives with his? If we live with you, he'll eventually find out." Itachi was quiet for a moment, he knew something that Sakura did not; Sasuke was also mixed up in the business, and he did not want to leave it either.
Itachi was currently stuck in a predicament; he cared for both, his brother and Sakura, but they refused to get out of the trouble they were in. Being a cop had its privileges and when either of them asked for his help he would do whatever was necessary to keep them from getting in trouble with the law; even if it meant covering up several murders at once. Itachi also knew that he could not tell one about the other, it would create additional problems. If Sasuke knew about Sakura, and vice versa, they would come after each other in school, at their homes, wherever, because they were rivals in their world and would do anything to destroy one another. It became a job on its own to keep their identities hidden from the other and there were a few close calls already.
"I'll be fine," Sakura said as she distanced herself from the car, "you know I can handle myself!"
"I know Hime, just take the day off today okay? Go relax for once." Itachi said, practically pleading his little, pink princess.
Sakura flashed Itachi a smile with a nod before he sped out of the school grounds. She turned around and made her way back to where Naruto was still at. He was laying on his back looking up at the clouds that were drifting by in the sky. She took her spot next to him, relaxing back into the soft ground.
"What did he say?" Naruto questioned, not even bothering to look her direction.
"Same stuff as always," Sakura lied, "no information showed up."
"Don't worry, they'll find something eventually."
A small frown appeared on Sakura's face. She always felt terrible having to lie to her bestfriend all the time, but she knew it was for the best.
"I doubt it..." She said softly, not loud enough for the blond next to her to hear it, "...I strongly doubt it..."
Sakura told Itachi she would take the day off but she soon found her self on her way to the warehouse after school with things she had to take care of. Being in charge of the business required Sakura's attention all the time, and even when she wanted to take the day off she could not because of certain problems that arisen. She dealt with the big problems and she had the final say about everything that went on.
Now, Sakura was usually a happy person on Fridays because that was pay day; the day when she got her profits from all the branches of dealers underneath her. Her demeanor had changed greatly when she found out that only about seven-hundred thousand was deposited in her bank account instead of the regular nine-hundred. Seven-hundred wasn't that bad but Sakura found it unacceptable, she needed consistency, and if she allowed them to slack off it would surely happen again. Sakura could not deal with another seven-hundred deposit, so she sped to the warehouse after school to nip the problem in the butt.
"Where's the paperwork for today?" Sakura asked a loud as she walked into the warehouse. She spoke to no one in particular but everyone rushed to go retrieve the documents she desired.
Even though Sakura sold drugs for a living it worked just like any other business would, and therefore she made all the different branches fill out paperwork that kept track of the weeks income. If she was short of her goal, like she currently was, then she would look at the paperwork and find out who did not meet the criteria.
After several moments Sakura had all the paperwork she demanded for in her hands. She took them into her office and she sat behind her desk as she studied over the documents.
She squinted her eyes, looking closer at the paper, as she came across the cause of her problem.
"...Inuzuka's branch...?" Sakura whispered to herself softly. In all honesty, she was surprised to see that Kiba's branch was the fuck-ups, usually he was on top of them 24/7 demanding the money he desired for.
Sakura grabbed her Galaxy S4 that was sitting on the desk in front of her and dialed a number.
"Kiba," Sakura said as she ran a hand through her hair, "I need you to handle your branch."
'Saks, I'm already on it. The weeks been rough for me'
Along with Ino, Kiba was another one in her posse that knew her before getting wrapped up in all of it, so him not calling her Blossom was not a big deal to her.
"You know I don't tolerate this shit."
'I'll give you the money tomorrow at the BBQ. Don't worry bout nothing Saks, when have I ever been the one to let you down?'
"Just have it by tomorrow. You have me over here stressing out again. Don't let this happen again."
'Relax, it won't. Don't go and get your father's goons on me again.'
"Have my money by tomorrow." Sakura said as she hung up the phone on Kiba.
Sakura sighed while she buried her face into her hands. Even though Sakura was not someone to mess with that's truly how she kept the position she had; her father's loyal gang members watched over her and dealt with anyone that upset her. Once her parents passed away, Sakura soon found out about their double lives in the gang world. Her dad was the leader of the infamous gang called Akatsuki, and his loyal members found it necessary to watch over their leader's pink-haired princess once he was no longer around. Itachi was a part of the gang also before he changed his life around, but he still finds it necessary to watch over Sakura like the others.
There was a time when Sakura and Kiba fought over power of the growing empire, and their small arguments became brutal fist fights. Kisame, one of the Akatsuki members, was checking up on Sakura at her apartment and walked into the two brawling, beating each other merciless. Kisame broke the two up, and during the next week Kiba received multiple beatings on the street by the other members, even ending up in the hospital once. After that Kiba backed down from fighting over the leader position, knowing that if he became the leader over Sakura he would soon be dead thanks to the Akatsuki.
Kiba was loyal to Sakura despite of everything that happened. They agreed to keep their different relationships separate, business was business but they were still close friends at the end of the day.
"Shit, I forgot about the barbecue." Sakura mumbled as her mind drifted to a totally different topic.
She gathered her up her belongings and left her office, entering the open area of the warehouse. There was only a few people left in the place, and located in the middle of the floor was the green house, or vault as they called it, where the plants were grown. Sakura did not want anyone stealing from her right under her nose so she was the only person that had the key to enter the vault.
Sakura finally made her way to the garage and quickly left the warehouse once she got into her car. She had to make one stop before finally going home, Naruto's house.
Naruto sat on the couch in his living room eating a bowl of ramen while engrossed in the television. This was his day off from his other life and he appreciated every minute he got to himself. While Naruto was relaxing in his apartment Sasuke was stuck dealing with all the responsibilities he neglected on Fridays. Similar to Sakura and Ino, Naruto and Sasuke shared an apartment, and Naruto was expecting to hear about his roommate's crappy day once he got home.
"These people," Naruto chuckled to himself as Ridiculousness played on his flat screen, "so fucking stupid."
The door bell rang and Naruto refused to leave his position. "Come in!" He yelled to his visitor.
Sakura heard her best friend's voice and slowly opened the front door to his home. Sakura saw Naruto sitting on the couch and shook her head at how absorbed he was by the show.
"Geesh Naruto, you can't even open the door for me?" Sakura teased as she stood watching him with her hands on her hips.
"Sorry Sakura-chan," Naruto said as he gave Sakura a grin, "you know I love this show." He finished, redirecting his attention back to the screen.
Sakura laughed softly and moved to go join him on the couch. She relaxed back into the soft cushion, quickly getting caught up in the show's antics also. Soon the show was over and Naruto lifted himself off of the couch, going to the kitchen to clean the empty bowl of ramen.
"So what brings you here Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked as he scrubbed the bowl in the sink. "Missed me too much?"
Sakura shook her head with a laugh, "No, I need the meat and other stuff for tomorrow, remember?"
"I thought I was going to your house early in the morning to bring the stuff." Naruto said while putting the bowl in the dish rack.
"Yeah but I need to prepare the food tonight," Sakura explained, "if not I won't be ready for tomorrow."
"Do you want me to help you?"
Sakura shook her head at Naruto answering his question. "I got it, I just need the meats."
Naruto nodded in response as he made his way to the freezer. He pulled out the steaks and ribs that he put in the freezer earlier in the day.
"Here you go Sakura-chan," Naruto said while he put the meats in a plastic bag for her, "this is everything."
"Thank you Naruto." Sakura replied, grabbing the bag from his hands.
Naruto heard a crinkling noice and noticed the papers that Sakura held in her hand, he couldn't help but question her about it.
"What's that Sakura-chan?"
"These?" Sakura asked nervously as she looked at the papers in her hand, "Oh, this is nothing."
Sakura crumpled up the papers that she held out of natural reaction. It had slipped her mind that she had the records of income in her hands still, she swore she left them in the car.
Naruto simply nodded in response, believing in the lie that Sakura was telling him.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow?" Sakura questioned as she began to make her way out of the door, standing in the door way.
"Yeah! See you tomorrow Sakura-chan!" Naruto said excitedly with a huge grin. Sakura smiled before turning away from him and heading down the stairs to her car.
Sakura reached her car, unlocked the doors, and sat down in the driver's side. She sighed a loud as she placed the bag of meats on the passenger's seat. She put the keys in the engine and right as she was about to turn the car on her phone rang. She stopped what she was doing to pull her cell phone out of her pocket and was not surprised to see Ino's name on the screen.
"I'm on my way home now," Sakura said before Ino even had a chance to say hello, "I had to take care of some things."
"Sakura, we have a problem."
Sakura froze in her seat, not expecting that response from her best friend. "What is it Ino?"
"Just come home soon. Bye."
Sakura stared at the phone in her hand in awe. She knew Ino was probably over reacting about something, but she couldn't stop herself from worrying over it. Sakura shook her head, pushing out the negative thoughts in her mind, and proceeded to go home.
Dun dun dunnnnnn. What does Ino have to tell Sakura? You'll have to wait and see! I hoped you enjoyed and review please! Finished. Remember, this is my first time trying something like this.
