*People's thoughts*
Chapter 2
Some people dream of having everything, money, fame, power, love, it's what people belive makes them happy.
Sakura had all but the last, she had given up on love ever since she heard that Sasuke had yet again threatened and tried to kill Naruto after he managed to track them down after he had killed Danzo, Naruto had believed that he could talk Sasuke into coming home now that everyone who had influenced Itachi into killing his clan were dead.
How wrong he had been...If anything it had made the already cold hearted Uchiha even more dead inside and he had somehow managed to knock Naruto out, probably would've killed him too if Kakashi and the others hadn't arrived in time.
A prang of guilt made itself known within Sakura's gut, she had been too centered on healing Lady Tusnade to even notice Naruto had gone and when she suggested they give up trying to make Sasuke come home Naruto wouldn't look at her and to make matters worse once Tusnade had woken from her coma she had flipped after hearing that Sakura hadn't stopped Naruto from leaving how was she meant to know he had gone!?!
Ever since then everything had gone downhill...it seemed she was being blamed for everything and had eventually had enough and left the leaf village wishing to start anew.
"But was it the right thing to do?" Sakura sighed to herself, she had been sitting on the same rock for what seemed days now waiting for Sasuke and his team to eventually come within range, all this had happened thanks to that selfish bastard and she intended to punish him for turning her life into hell
Her train of thought was interrupted by a slight cough to her left, turning round she spotted her team waiting anxiously for her instructions.
A small smile appeared on her face, she remembered how she had visited the other villages in the hopes of finding somewhere to settle down and just forget it all, but changed her mind once she found people who just like her, had been labelled weak or a burden, and although her team consisted of only herself and 4 other males she was proud to know and to travel with them.
The first she had found was a slender man named called Ryu or 'Birdie' as he liked to be called due to his fondness of using the transformation jutsu to change into a bird, he had messy brown hair and blue eyes and would've been considered quite attractive if it were for the scars that donned his face, none the less he was loyal and like Sakura had worked hard to prove himself to be as strong as anyone else, he was the perfect spy as he knew exactly how to conceal his chakra allowing him to get incredibly close to learn the enemies plans and weaknesses.
The second 'Shiki' was a shorter version of kakashi sensi in her opinion, he had silver hair and matching silver eyes and always wore a small smile on his face, she wasn't sure why he did but it made him look more human...He was her weapons expert and never missed his target.
The third was an unexpected find, a well built muscular guy who called himself Duke...it wasn't his real name but she wasn't going to argue, she had found him lying half dead in the forest after what looked like an attempted suicide attack, he had literally gnawed away at his wrists and she had found it hard not to gag when she managed to save him and he had smiled up at her, she had a strong stomach but seeing the chunks of flesh dangling in his teeth had made her feel more than slightly sick. He was her firestarter and boy did he love fire, any chance he got he would set something ablaze.
The last and personally her favourite to torment although she'd never admit it was a toned guy called Kane, he was tall, had muscles in the right places, sported short black hair and had the deepest brown eyes she had ever seen, he had actually tracked her down after seeing her and the others at a tavern, he had guessed they were rouge ninja by the way Ryu would comment about how happy everyone always looked and how it made him glad he had given up 'playing ninja' and had joined Sakura...Kane didn't have much compared to the others in the way of brute force but he was smart...He had been the one to work out how they could make the most of everything they had and how it could make the team 'invincable' he had put it
In a way he was right...Her team were feared, if people saw them they'd avoid them at any cost, she wasn't sure how he had done it but Kane had managed to spread word that Sakura and her boys were to be feared at all costs, mercy wasn't an option and if that you saw them you had better hope they weren't there for you, that's how they got the name Angels of Death apparently. In honesty they weren't that great but thanks to the combined efforts they had become stronger, they worked well and hadn't been defeated since they had started taking assassination requests, another thing to thank Kane for, without those requests they'd probably would've starved to death by now due to lack of money and food.
She should probably be nicer to them, but she found it too much of a waste of energy, so she settled for polite with a slice of bitch on the side.
Dragging herself away from her thoughts she returned her attention to her team, it made her smirk how they were all taller than her yet followed everything she said.
"Any progress?" She directed the question in general, bored with waiting she wanted news
"Yes Mistress...They are on the move and should be within our boundaries soon, I'm doing the best i can to shield all our chakra's but i'm afraid i won't be able to do so for much longer" Ryu answered back, a small pout began to appear on his face as if not being able to shield the team's chakra was the end of the world.
"It's fine Ryu, you've done enough" Sakura wanted to smile and reassure him but she wasn't that soft anymore, she gave the occasional smile but it seemed like too much work nowadays anyway she had healed his cheek from where she had cut it earlier.
Looking past Ryu, her eyes settled on Duke, she could tell from his posture and the stupid grin on his face that he was getting worked up over a potential battle, any excuse to burn things.
*GOT TO ADMIRE HIS SPUNK I SUPPOSE*
"Duke, Shiki...I want you to prepare for our visitors, make sure we have everything we need incase they don't decide to play nice"
The two nodded in unison and began to discuss what weapons and traps they could use.
Sakura, happy that everything seemed to be in her favour began to make her way towards a small opening in the mountain side where they stood, to anyone else it looked like just a cave but it actually led to an underground system of tunnels and rooms, Sakura suspected it might be one of Orochimarus old hideouts but she didn't care, she had made it hers now.
"What about me?" A voice called from behind her, turning round she saw Kane stood there, hands in his pockets and an annoyed look on his face.
Smirking Sakura gestured him towards her, it thrilled her in a way how he obeyed, like a dog returning to it's owner.
"I have a very...very special job for you...Me and you, we got things to discuss, come to my room in 5 minutes" Sakura winked at the last part, she was after all a woman and yes she would never tell Kane he was her favourite she always found a way to make sure he knew it.
Kane and the others watched as Sakura disappeared into the cave's opening.
"I fear things are going to get messy" Ryu stated, looking at the others for their input
"As long as things go the way she wants who cares, rather them than us" Kane replied, his voice becoming more than a little shaky at the thought of what Sakura had in mind "Wait here until we return, we have...Strategies to go over"
With that he followed Sakura into the cave and out of the others sight.
Night had fallen, the moon had risen and the air had become cold and after eventually being able to pinpoint where the sudden charka flow had come from Team Hebi arrived at the mouth of the cave opening, the tension between them was none to friendly, after tiring of Suigetsu's and Karin constant bickering Sasuke had resorted to threatening them by saying he was going to skin them alive whilst ripping out their organs and shoving them where the sun didn't shine The group had instantly fallen silent, never before had they seen Sasuke so wound up, usually he ignored the ramblings and just led the team where he wanted them to go.
"This had better be the right place Karin" Saskue hissed, today had not been a great day for him, it had taken hours for Karin to even locate any chakra signals and when she had eventually done that her and suigetsu had done nothing but call each other names, it was like travelling with a pair of children
"Of course Sasuke, I've never been wrong before have I" Karin answered, wanting the stotic Uchiha's praise, which never came...it never did
*HUMPH...STUPID BASTARD WOULD NEVER OF FOUND THIS PLACE ON HIS OWN, HE SHOULD BE WORSHIPING ME! ALTHOUGH I SUPPOSE I CAN'T BE ANGRY WITH HIM, MAYBE AFTER WE GET THIS OVER AND DONE WITH I CAN HELP HIM 'RELEASE' SOME TENSION*
"Well what do we do now? I don't see anyone...maybe we should knock?" Suigetsu remarked, he was shattered from walking all day and wanted to get this over and done with so he could have a well earned rest
"We proceed forward, be on the lookout and alert me if you see anything or anyone...I want to find this people quic..." Sasuke's orders were interrupted by the sound of laughter
The team stopped and faced the cave, the source of where the laughter was coming from...Unsheathing his Katana sasuke and his team stood firm, out of the cave came 4 men dressed what looked like some sort of uniform, everything on them was silver and white.
"Anyone else sensing a theme with these guys or is that just me...My don't they look pretty!" Suigetsu mocked, clearly not phased by the men
Sasuke ignored his remark and continued to stand his ground, the laughter that had been heard was getting louder and the group of men parted to allow who he presumed to be their leader through.
"Your group is known and feared around this area, I'm making the proposition that you join me, you may be of some use to me"
The laughter stopped...and although their faces never changed Sasuke could tell that the men were anxious, was their leader really as bad as all that?
Soon the small clicking of heels against rock could be heard, it conintued to grow louder until he could just make out a silloeutte within the cave's entrance.
Raising his katana towards the figure Sasuke continued
"come out and answer me...We have much to discuss..."
"That we do Sasuke-kun...that we do" Hissed a small voice, Sasuke's eyes narrowed, who was this person and how dare they address him in such a manner.
Before he could answer Sasuke felt himself being hurled through the air, unknown to him a chakra whip had lashed out and encircled his wasit, landing awkwardly on the floor of the cave's entrance Sasuke quickly tried to regain his composure only to be picked up like a rag doll and slammed against the wall.
"Kill the others....I'll deal with this one" hissed the female, instantly her men launched themselves into battle against team hebi, leaving Sasuke and the shadowy figure alone.
"Who are you!?" Demanded Sasuke, he desperately tried to free himself from her vice like grip but he was having no luck, he tried his chidori but he couldn't summon the chakra, she had successfully blocked all his chakra points.
"Ssshh calm yourself Sasuke-kun, if you keep struggling like that you're going to hurt yourself, and if you do that...Well...I won't be able to have any fun now will i" Cooed the voice menacingly
Sasuke stopped struggling and turned to face his captor, whose face was still hidden within the shadows.
"who are you?" he asked again
A small giggle escaped the females lips as she stepped forward into the moon light...Sasuke couldn't stop his expression from falling into that of disbelief...As Jade met Onyx
"S...Sakura!?..." Were the last words out of the Uchiha's mouth before his world was plunged into darkness!
Hope you liked it...Next time...what has happened to sasuke, why did he black out? And what does Sakura have in store for him, I'll update sooooooon!
