Sakura's Majikku Mission
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 2
Last time:
A long way away from home, Sakura Haruno crashed to the floor in an undignified lump, in a circular room which had a lot of pictures on the walls.
Sakura looked up and was met by a pair of sparkling blue eyes.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, my dear, I am Albus Dumbledore headmaster of Hogwarts."

Sakura picked herself off the floor and bowed to the man who was employing her. The man in question merely smiled and gestured for her to take a seat.
Sakura sat down and relaxed slightly, the man in front of her had no intent to harm radiating from him.
"Well my dear, I am very pleased you could come on such short notice. I am Albus Dumbledore. Now please tell me more about yourself."
Sakura opened her mouth to speak when the man spoke again.
"Ah hold on, I need to cast a translation spell, which will allow you to understand English and speak our language. At the moment the spell I am using is translating everything I say into your language for you to understand. Do you allow me to cast this spell on you?"
Sakura nodded slowly, and braced herself. Dumbledore said a few words under his breath and Sakura felt a warm sensation spread through her.
When she opened her eyes, she looked at the headmaster of the school, and saw he was waiting for her to speak. And she did in flawless English.
" My name is Sakura Haruno, member of the ANBU of Konohagakure. I was chosen by the Hokage to complete this mission."
"ANBU? Could you explain that for me, I'm afraid I am unfamiliar with the term." Dumbledore asked with a smile.
" In our world there are four different ranks. Genin, Chunin, Jounin and ANBU. Genin is the lowest rank whereas ANBU is the highest. Only the strongest and the elite make it to the ANBU. You can also become a Kage, which is the name given to the leader of the villages. ANBU stands for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai which in english means Special Assassination and Tactical Squad. We passs exxams to gain each rank."
Dumbledore was shocked, this young woman in front of him couldn't be more than 17, yet she was saying that she was a member of an elite fighting force.
"Excuse me my dear, out of curiousity how old are you?"
"I am 18 years old, Dumbledore-san. I know I look young, but I have seen enough to be an elder many times over. Now could you please tell me about this boy I have to keep a close eye on?" asked Sakura.
Dumbledore smiled at the young woman in front of him,
"His name is Harry Potter….." started Dumbledore as he proceeded to tell Sakura all about Harry's previous adventures and the threat that was Voldemort.

"Harry, Harry wake up."
Harry Potter grumbled and blinked at the blinding light as he opened his eyes to see one of his best friends Hermione Granger smiling down at him. His other best friend was asleep against the window of their compartment.
"We will be arriving at Hogwarts soon." Said Hermione before she went to awaken Ron.
Harry looked out of the window at the passing countryside, and gave a sigh of relief. He hadn't been expelled from Hogwarts and was returning with his frineds to his fifht year.
A crash disturbed his thoughts as he turned to see Ron on the floor and a breathless Dean Thomas in the door.
"You guys listen to this! Apparently Dumbledore has hired a professional guard to protect us all in Hogwarts." With that he promptly left only to barge into the next compartment blurting out the same news.
The trio stared at the door for a second, before Hermione spoke.
"A guard for Hogwarts?"
"Maybe he's taking precations against You Know Who." Said Ron shrugging his shoulders.
"How could one guard stand up to Voldemort and his death eaters. That's impossible. I bet Dumbledore's just trying to put up a sense of security." Said Harry.
"I wonder what he'll be like. I bet he'll be big and bulky and was an auror in the past." Exclaimed Ron.
"It could be a woman Ron" pointed out Hermione.
"A female guard Hermione against You Know Who? As if it's got to be a bloke." Said Ron.
A this point Harry winced knowing that once again Ron hadn't thought before he spoke and had offended Hermione, and started yet another argument between the two of them. 'Why couldn't they just kiss and make up', thought Harry as he tuned out the argument and just watched as the train got closer and closer to Hogwarts.

Sakura was actually impressed with what the Potter boy had achieved over his years of being at this school. She also agreed with Dumbledore, the boy very well might need protection seeing as he had, as Dumbledore put it, a knack at getting into trouble.
Sakura was telling Dumbledore a bit about life in Konohagakure when the castle doors opened and numerous different chakras entered the castle.
"The students are starting to arrive. If you would wait until I announce you to enter, that would be helpful. You may enter any way you want." Stated Dumbeldore as he rose to leave.
Sakura nodded, and once he left she quickly changed into her ANBU uniform. Only to realise Shizune had forgotten to pack the standard shoes, and instead had packed a pair of dangerous looking high heel boots. Sakura thought for a second, then grabbed the boots and put them on. Pausing only to strap her katana to her back and to put her mask on, Sakura strode out of Dumbledore's office and made her way to the entrance hall. She was going to give these kids an entrance they would never forget.

The great hall was alive with many voices of everyone catching up .
Harry was just sitting at the Gryffindor table watching everything around him. Ron and Hermione were still arguing. Harry let his gaze stray to the teachers table, with displeasure he noticed Snape was still there, and to his dismay Hagrid was missing. Continuing down the table he saw a new teacher dressed it the most revolting pink outfit he had ever seen in his life.
Ron stopped bickering for a second and followed followed his gaze. "Hey, she must be new DADA teacher. Blimey…she doesn't look like much."
Hermione immediately reprimanded him. "Don't judge people before you get to know them Ron! Honestly!"
Harry rolled his eyes as his two friends started arguing again, and then looked at the teacher's table again to see that Dumbledore had arrived. With his arrival, Professor McGonagall started the sorting ceremony.
Once the sorting ceremony had finished, Dumbledore stood up, and his voice echoed to all corners of the Hall. He gave his normal welcoming speech, warned everyone to stay away from the Forbidden Forest, passed on the usual message from Mr. Filch, and then, gave a speech about the return of Voldemort.
The woman dressed in pink looked furious with Dumbledore, and then stood and gave a very boring speech which informed everyone of her opinion. Once the hideous woman had finished, Dumbledore took over once more.
"Now one more thing before I allow you all to fill you stomachs, please give a warm welcome to a new addition of staff that will stay with us for this year. This Person had come a long way to be here and to take the job of guarding you and all our beloved school . Please welcome Sakura Haruno ANBU Kuonichi of Konohagakure!"
Silence reigned in the hall as everyone tried to see the so called guard. There was no one. Harry looked towards Dumbledore, Dumbledore was smiling and had his gaze fixed on the Great Halls doors.
Harry turned his head back to the doors, and looked for a sign of a person. Seeing nothing he was about to turn away when a flash of pink caught his eye.
Small pink petals were appearing out of thin air and had started swirling in a spiral. The amount of petal grew until there was a cylinder shaped cloud of petals that were still swirling.
By now everyone's attention was fixated on the petals. Slowly the petals started to lift from the ground upwards. As the petals disappeared a person was revealed. Once all the petals had cleared, there were many sharp intakes of breaths, and gasps throughout the great hall.
This person was like nothing Harry had ever seen before. The person before him was a woman, a very fit woman. She wore a skin tight black strap top with a pair of formfitting black trousers. On her feet she wore needle point Black High Heel boots which held snugly to her legs. She wore a belt made up of small pouches, along with a bandage around her left leg. She wore white armour, which was made up of two arm guards, two shin guards, and a chest plate and back plate. On each of her arms were black gloves which stretched up pat her elbows but stopped before reaching her shoulders, leaving a small area of skin uncovered. In that small area of skin on her right arm was a black tattoo. The woman also wore a mask which had been painted to look like a feline Harry guessed, although it was weird that the whiskers were pink. What was even more surprising was that the woman had waist long light pink hair.
The woman looked ahead at Dumbledore for a few seconds before walking forward towards the teachers table. Every set of eyes in the room followed her. As she passed Harry he saw se had something strapped to her back, hen he looked closer he realised it was a sword. There was something about this woman that radiated power, something about her intimidated him. Harry and the rest of the school were sufficed to say shocked at the appearance of the guard.
The guard greeted Dumbledore with a slight bow and then went and sat down in an empty seat next to professor Snape. When she was seated, Dumbledore clapped his hands and the food arrived. Everyone broke out of the daze they were in and started to eat, however everyone's conversation was about the pink haired guard.
Sakura smirked under her mask as she heard all the students break out into chatter about her, they obviously though she couldn't hear them. Her eyes immediately found the boy from the picture Dumbledore had shown her. Evidently the boy had a higher level of Chakra than most students, but n where hear the amount needed to be a Genin.
Sakura mused silently to herself: 'This is going to be an interesting year.'

Two months later in Konohagakure.
Tsunade was working through some official documents when Shizune knocked sheepishly at her door.
"Yes?"
"Ummm Tsunade sama there is someone to see you, and he refuses to leave until he can."
"If its Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzamaki or any of that lot come to ask me where Sakura is again, tell them they better leave or god help me I will punch they all the way to sound and back."
"Its not , its Hatake Kakashi, he's very adamant on talking to you"
Tsuande sighed 'He was bound to turn up asking questions soon enough.'
"Very well let him in"
Tsunade put down what she was doing as the famous Copy nin entered her office.
"Kakashi What do you want? Another mission you only got back from a 5 month long one last week." Asked Tsunade.
"What happened with Sakura are all the others while I was gone?" asked Kakashi. His visible eye glaring at her.
"Kakashi, she's on a mission I told you."
"I meant what happened between her and the other. She breaks up with Sasuke and cuts off all her friendships with everyone else and leaves on a year long mission the very same day. There is something wrong, something happened and I want to know what."
Tsunade sighed and looked at Kakashi.
"Make yourself comfortable. This is going to take a while."
With that she started to tell Kakashi about everything which had happened prior to Sakura's departure.
When Tsunade had finished, she could pratically feel the anger rolling off him. Sighing she waited for him to say something.
"You let her go on this mission alone?!"
"Kakashi she's ANBU now, she can handle it. Besides almost all of those she cut off come here once a week begging me to let them join Sakura." Said Tsunade as her expression darkened thinking of the many times she had thrown them all out of her office.
"Tsunade-sama, I have a request……" asked Kakashi.
Tsunade's eyes widened, his tone of voice was not encouraging, and she had an idea of what he was going to ask. The problem was she wasn't sure what her answer would be…..
