Chapter three: The danger
" You have got to be kidding me." Sakura said as that stupid raven haired emo kid sat on the edge of her bed as she read a medical scroll. Hey even Assassins need to know that stuff, never know when you might need to bring someone back to health only to kill them.
The emo kid in effect huffed. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked her dead in the eyes.
" I wouldn't be here if I was." He said gruffly. Oh someone wasn't a morning person. It was four am and she wondered why he was up. She only slept two hours a night being an assassin you learned not to sleep long, never knew when you would be betrayed or ambushed so you had to stay alert. Being a rouge when your with out a village to back you up its kill or be killed.
She had her two hours and ate a light meal, then figured it was too early to train her body, she might as well train her mind. She planned on practicing some medical jutsu later today but now her plans had been ruined. It seemed the second day of her stay she was being sent along on a mission. A C-ranked mission.
Why a C-ranked she figured because she was new to the team and that lady Hokage was testing her skills with other teammates, and in general. Even if she had beat down Sasuke Uchiha in training and gave Neji a good spar, it wasn't enough to learn much about her. She had only used hand to hand combat in each of those times. They wanted to know her other skills.
She figured it was a good way to become less bored and maybe they would cross paths with someone she knew, of course she had to be careful and she dare not stray from her new team less she be suspected, or followed. So she couldn't see her men just yet. Hidan and Kisame we're probably starving to death since Konan's cooking was much to be desired and much too much of a bad thing. The woman couldn't cook to save her life.
She figured Itachi would be cooking. The only person any of them trusted not to poison them or each other was Itachi sadly. Maybe because if he wanted them dead he wouldn't use poison to do it. And Itachi only ever made his own food for the reason of poison not that he couldn't tell if their was but they did all live with a specialist in poisons Sasori so he wasn't going to test his luck.
Everyone else didn't seem to care as long as it was good food. Of course Sakura was the best cook, since she had lived alone so long on her own, you tend to learn how to cook better or starve. She'd been a natural but that wasn't anything special considering her father had married a chef her mother.
Her father had been the best Ninja in stone, heck he'd been top dog there for so long that when someone killed him, everyone was shocked that anyone could ever be as powerful.
She was straying from the point though. This mission was going to be in Mist for a few days they were supposed to be escorting a Prince or something to Kohona to see his grandmother or what ever. They had not been trained to fight together as a team yet they were being sent on a mission as one? That seemed stupid, but hey she couldn't complain considering she had a choice to be rouge or a certified Ninja of Kohona. She chose the later and she had no one to blame for this mess but herself. Perhaps it wouldn't so so hard once they got better at knowing each other. If you don't know your teammates personally then you can't work with them. She knew that to be true. When Akatsuki asked her to help them out she hated it because they were all doing things by themselves and not even needing her until one of them got hurt.
She had told them that if they wanted to actually capture a demon they needed to work together, she had first started with the quietest of them all Itachi and then worked her way around the Organization until they became more of a Organization then mess.
She of course had known three of them intimately as well. It was always easier to work with someone when you knew everything about them including how to relax them when they get too worked up. Of course she would not be helping these teammates out here. Akatsuki were adults these guys were children.
Naruto was out of the question he was just too innocent for her to taint, besides she would have to betray him anyway and she didn't like doing that to people she had a relationship with it was better to just leave him be. Kakashi was a more then likely choice because she understood his type perfectly. It reminded her of that perverted old man who had spied on her bathing. She'd given him a show aright and when he passed out she took him home and tied him up. He'd awake naked and surprised.
She told him if he ever spied on her or another woman again he'd be dead, until he told her he was the writer of the Icha Icha series. Then she became the model for his books. She didn't mind besides she loved those books of his. He was skilled indeed.
Now Sasuke she had ideas for but never as a lover. Besides he wasn't her type and he was too depressing. Besides he was more like Itachi then they both cared to admit and one Itachi Uchiha was more enough for her.

Mist was a cool place where it mostly rained but sometimes it was just really really foggy. Kisame was raised here as a little fish, and grew into a very ugly blue adult fish. She didn't mine Mist but she didn't like it either. It had really gone down hill in resent years, the village was mostly just bars, brothels, and well... sex.
And yet they were here to bring a Prince back to the village? It didn't seem like a Prince would even live here let alone rule here. But she didn't know the guy maybe he liked this sort of thing, a little like their Hokage and sake.
She wasn't one to judge so she just accepted the fact they had to find this Prince and bring him back. He was supposed to be in disguise so how where they supposed to find him? All the Hokage said when they asked what he looked like was; 'You'll know.' Not even remotely helpful.
Yet Kakashi and Naruto didn't seem troubled by this, Naruto even said ' We can do this Believe it!' and then ran out of the tower. She on the other hand wondered. She could probably find the male on her own if she knew a name at least, but if she had to search for him with only a title it would be harder but not impossible.
Of course she wasn't supposed to do this alone considering she was on a team now. So she'd hold herself back until they needed that sort of help which she with out a doubt knew they would. It was just a matter of time really.
Unfortunately the person they were looking for must have left the village waiting for them to get here because he was so not there. So they decided to stay at an inn for the night. Might as well it had been a long hard non-stop journey.
She of course somehow got stuck roomed up with all the men. Kakashi said they needed to stick together and since this was Mist and rouge city they needed to be on guard as well.
She didn't mind so much sharing a room with them all but they seemed to freak out at least Naruto was, and Sasuke was complaining, but Kakashi seemed to enjoy this. She had no doubt he would, other then being a pervert, he was told to watch her, and this was a good way.
However she had never slept when people were this close. She didn't trust them not to slit her throat in the middle of the night, of course she shouldn't think that way she was apart of this team and had done nothing wrong as of yet in their village.
Plus if she had to she'd just not sleep, she'd be tired but it wasn't the first night she went with out sleep, heck the whole month she was in the Akatsuki helping out she hadn't slept once. Being a Medic on top of everything else she could use that to calm her self from the no sleep, after not sleeping for a long time you start to get really mellow, and Sakura had to stay alert. Her Medical knowledge helped her there. So she wasn't so much worried about no sleep as annoyed that she had to stay awake since these men might kill her in her sleep. She would never trust anyone. Including those said to be her teammates.
Of course she volunteered for the first watch meaning to stay up and keep watch. Kakashi hesitated only a second before he smiled under that annoying mask. She just wanted to rip it off and slap that bare skin. A slap just didn't feel the same with cloth blocking what you hit.
" Sakura-chan your new to this team, you should sleep, we traveled a long distance which I was impressed you kept with out trouble." Which was an insult really saying since she was female she shouldn't be able to keep up with the boys? Maybe they needed a girl in this team after never having one, just to show how to think clearly. If they kept putting her down like that they would learn their place really quick.
She raised an eye brow and turned on her heal right into the bathroom shutting the door and locking it. Not like they couldn't get in if the needed to but still it would take them extra effort and she's be able to tell if they were trying to get in thus giving her a little extra time to either get dressed or kill them.
Of course her hearing was better then the average ninja because she was an assassin. So even showering she heard their conversion. They were talking about her.

"I'm surprised Kakashi-sensei! Sakura-chan is so awesome. All the kounichi in our village have to take a break sooner or later. She doesn't even look tired or anything! Plus she kicked Sasuke's butt!" Sasuke huffed in annoyance and plopped onto the futon next to the window there were four all lined up in a row. He was taking the one at the end, and Kakashi took the other. Naruto next to Kakashi and away from his enemy Sasuke, which left the spot next to Sasuke for Sakura.
Sasuke twitched in annoyance. He didn't want a female sleeping next to him molesting him in his sleep. But For some reason Sakura didn't seem the sort to do that. She seemed older, more mature then the other kunoichi. She had real experience, and she was like him. Her family had been killed as well. Maybe that's why he didn't hate her totally. Though he still did because she obviously knew his brother very well.
When Sasuke didn't complain about Sakura being next to him Kakashi smirked under his mask. Perhaps the new girl would win over that frozen heart? They just had to be careful not to get hurt with this one. She seemed the heartbreaking type and for some reason that added to her appeal.
It's the dangerous ones that are the most desired. A little danger is anyone's pleasure. She was mysterious and dark. Right up Sasuke's ally, yet she had someone already, so maybe Sasuke was out of luck? He wasn't sure but it looked like something fun.
Plus that girl seemed familiar somehow. As if he had read about her somewhere. Wait! Kakashi took the violet book out and flipped it open. There! The Icha Icha was based with Sakura in mind!Who esle int he world had pink hair and was a dangerous cold woman, with the body of a goddess? How did that Pervy-sage know her? Where from? Did he know more about her? Kakashi would have to talk to him.

Her bath was quick and she frowned. She had not realized she would be sleeping with so many men or she would have packed decent night clothes, she settled on just wearing her clothes out, she wasn't going to sleep anyway.
So she walked out in a dark red shirt with fishnet over it, and black pants that hid not only a knife against the side of her leg, but also a bunch of different poisons in slots all over. Sasori had added that touch. The knife was Pein's he let her have in thanks for her help. She disabled the tracker he had put in it, and the other one Sasori put in his poisons. They seriously wanted her to stay she just wanted a little more freedom then that.
Kakashi expecting her to come out in something sexy choked when she came out fully dressed ready to work another day. Where they sure she was really a girl? Other then all that beauty and curves could it all be a show? An illusion? He wondered. Could it be a jutsu like Naruto's sexy no jutsu?
Or could it be just padding under there? Well one way to find out and he realized it was sexual harassment but hey he was a curious male. So when she walked out he went up to her and just grabbed her breasts in both hands feeling. He expected a slap or something but when he finally finished and was positive she was female he looked up and into her eyes. She seemed slightly amused.
" Now Kakashi Hatake not in front of the children." He flushed and Naruto and Sasuke choked. Yeah she was definitely something else. Naruto was blushing scarlet as he asked to try also. Sasuke flushed and hit him upside the head with a hand. Naruto ye-owwed and Sasuke looked out the window scowl in place. She was more then likely his brothers lover. Itachi would kill not only Kakashi for touching her but Naruto if he did touch her.
It was freaky thinking of the female as his brothers lover let alone anyone of his brothers lover. It was creepy. But his brothers taste in woman weren't so bad, if Itachi liked her she had to be something very special and powerful. More so then they all thought. Sasuke always thought the only female Itachi would ever date would be someone who defeated him. Wait. His eyes caught Sakura's as she sat next to him on her futon. Did she win a fight against his brother?
He must have a shocked look on her face as he wondered because a funny little smile came over her face. She chuckled and pulled out a scroll which happened to be a medical one like she had been reading last night. Was she a Medic? She didn't act like one.
" Are you a Medic Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked noticing the scroll she was beginning to read. She glanced over at him next to her. She smiled.
" I am trained in Medical Jutsu, but I am not a Medic. Though I have been asked by a few hospitals. I have also helped out on a few occasions but I am much more skilled in combat then anything."
The silent and deadly type to be perfectly clear, but since she was keeping that secret she wasn't going to say anything about it.
They were all surprised. Kakashi impressed.
" You know Tsunade-baa-chan is a Medic too! I'm sure she'd like your help at the hospital Sakura-chan!" Naruto said with a bright smile. Tsunade? Oh the Hokage. He called her that? How rude.
" I think you should offer to assist them there, they need the extra hands." Kakashi said nodding. She wouldn't mind helping, but she'd rather take lives then save them. She was a killer after all.
" Well I'll take first shift Sakura-chan you can sleep." She raised an eye brow at Kakashi.
" I think I'll stay up for a while so you might as well go to sleep Hatake." It was funny how she called him by his last name and he used chan with her first name. He smirked slightly at the challenge in her eyes.
" Alright." Ah how boring he gave in so soon.
" But Sasuke will help you." Sasuke frowned, but at least it would give him a chance to ask her some questions. Sakura on the other hand didn't seem too happy to have to be watched over like a child. It was rather annoying to be treated like this, but she had only herself to blame. She did chose this village even though their villages were enemies.

Once the other two were asleep Sasuke was ready to male his move.
" I need air." She said suddenly and stood walking out of the room. Sasuke hesitated before following. Kakashi was awake anyway.
The streets were filled with life even this late at night. Woman and men standing on the streets in little clothing for the temperature, wildly colored hair, and push up bras. Sakura got catcalls thrown her way and Sasuke got more then one invitation for nookie, nookie, in the sookie what ever that meant. He didn't want to know really. When he asked Sakura she just smiled really oddly, as if she were having trouble not laughing at his innocence. He couldn't help it.
When they came far enough away from people not to be over heard she stopped and turned to him sitting on the wall that lead out of town. It was a short brick wall only mid-thigh in height to Sasuke. He stood in front of her as she crossed one leg over the other and placed her hands on her laps dignified and ready for what he had to say.
" How did you meet my brother?" He asked and she smirked slightly.
" I ran into him and his fishy friend here in Mist." She said simply. He frowned at her lack of information.
" Are you his lover?" She smiled this time.
" Not really." Which wasn't a lie considering they never did anything more then kiss sometimes. Itachi was an old fashioned sort of guy.
" Have you ever beaten him in battle?" She laughed quickly.
" Many times, but if he knew I told you he'd have a fit." Sasuke frowned at her. So she had beaten his brother more then once. And Itachi never threw a fight no matter what, so she really did beat him. She had that much skill?
" Who are you really? Your too skilled to just be a normal ninja." She smirked that odd smirk again.
" Who said I was a normal Ninja?" She asked and then hopped down from the wall and started back to the inn, he hesitated however and she turned around with a devious smile that made him blush, but it was when she grabbed her breasts and offered them up like gifts that he really blushed hard.
" Did you want to touch too?" He hesitated then shook his head quickly cleared his throat then walked quickly back to the Inn. She just smirked following him. In the meantime she knew who watched her and she was enjoying making him mad. It was slightly worth teasing Sasuke just to make him mad. He was sexy mad.
Maybe she was just a sadist and a masochist? She wouldn't doubt it.

Kakashi wondered if he needed to tell Sasuke to keep an eye on her, but as Sasuke followed her out he thought not. He knew Sasuke had something to say to her, and he knew Sakura had only said she needed air because she didn't want to talk about it in front of anyone else, which made Kakashi wonder why Sasuke's sudden interest in the girl, though she did kick his butt and the only person to ever beat him had been Naruto and Kakashi himself, of course Itachi...Wait.
Did Sakura know his brother? Was that the reason Sasuke had so much interest? Did she have information about the Akatsuki in general or just Itachi. Wait...something tickled his mind.
Flashback!
" So Sakura-chan where are you from? Why are you here? How long are you here for? Do you have a boyfriend? Do you live close by? What level ninja are you? Do you want to see my skills? Have you seen the Ichiraku's ramen? Do you to go there after this?" She was bombarded by Questions from Naruto as she stood there. She however smiled and took it all in.
" Stone. I grew bored with Stone. I don't know a few years tops. Yes, Yes. I don't know females were not allowed to become high ranked ninja in Stone. I wouldn't know my level. I'd like to know what your capable of as my teammate. I walked by on my way here, I'd like to but I have plans with one by the name of Hyuuga Neji."
End flashback:
She had said she had a boyfriend and then oddly enough something else came to mind.
ANOTHER flashback!:
Then suddenly something in Naruto's mind caught up and his eyes went wide.
" Your have a boyfriend already?" She was surprised he just now caught up with that. She smirked and glanced at Sasuke for a moment, confusing him.
" Indeed." Naruto cried anime tears and then recovered and took her hands.
" So is he an older guy? Or is he an ANBU? Or is he strong? Whats he like? Is he a blond? Does he have tattoos?" Naruto asked.
" Well first boyfriend is not the right word, it should be lover. Boyfriend seems too...childish. Second I don't see him much, and third he is very powerful. Well you'll probably meet him one day when he stops by, besides I know one of you who already knows him."
End flashback!:
Now that Kakashi thought back he should have caught on to that look to Sasuke a little better. He'd though perhaps it was just because she found him cute or something but now that he thought about it she could have looked to him because it was his elder brother and then reacting to Sasuke's name that way. Even saying: " Oh that's rich. He's going to freak when I tell him."
Did this girl really have a relationship with Itachi Uchiha? Itachi didn't seem the type to fall in love, let alone have a lover but Sakura was different and she was powerful maybe she was Itachi's type of girl she was one in a million. As unique as they came, but if she knew an was with Itachi that meant she wasn't dangerous because she was fromS tone, but because she was close to Akatsuki.
It also meant she was even stronger then they knew, and that they needed to be more then careful around her, including Naruto.
