Chapter 3

Rose was up before the sun could cast any light. She was all ready to go. She was in her ANBU uniform, well if you could call it that. She dressed a lot differently than the common ANBU. Her pants were baggy and went down all the way down to her feet. She didn't wear the average grey top. She wore more of a plain white corset that had red lace that laced up in the front. She wore a black tank top under it so only the straps could be seen. She wore fingerless gloves and had her hair pulled in a tight bun with a hood covering it. She looked at her cat mask and sighed. She didn't want to go but she had to, sadly. She jumped out her window and left without saying a word to anyone in the household.

Rose's team had finished their mission and was resting in a small opening in the forest. There were five of them total all men except for Rose, of course. Rose was sitting under a tree with her chin on her chest. She wasn't tired just bored and she was thinking about what had happened one year ago, the second time she had meat the Uchiha.

I should not be thinking about this right now. She thought with a sigh. She looked up, all of her teammates were huddled together a good distance away from her and were whispering so she couldn't hear them. Rose was curious but she wasn't going to go up to her second in command turned around and looked at her and started walking towards her with the others in tow. He stopped about five feet in front of her.

"We were asked by the Hokage to search these lands for Uchiha Sasuke after we were done with this mission. We accepted the mission without your consent" Rose looked up and her team couldn't help but take a step back. They knew she was not happy about being told this.

They took on a mission behind my back? She thought. Of course they would. She knew her second in command hated her and thought she was a bad captain. He hated taking orders from someone so much younger than him, but this, taking a mission without telling her? This was going too far. They sat there quietly a bit scared of how she would react.

Sasuke was wondering around, he had heard of some Hidden Leaf Shinobi being in these parts because of a mission and he wanted to see them. Well more like kill them. He suddenly stopped, he found them. He could sense their chakras.

They aren't very good at hiding are they? He thought to himself with a smirk on his face.

He hid his chakra and started heading towards where they were. He had stopped on a tree that overlooked the group, he looked down to see the five ANBU. Four were on their feet standing in front of one who was sitting. Sasukes eyes widen when he saw the fifth member. It was them, the ANBU that had saved him a year ago. Looking at them he could tell she was most definitely a girl. The corset top she wore showed that off nicely. It hugged her curves and showed off her medium sized chest and hour glass figure. She sat with her head up looking at her team with her arms and legs crossed as she sat. She looked pissed and Sasuke couldn't even see her face, yet.

"We are one of the strongest ANBU squads Konaha has and we, no you, have turned down every mission that involved the Uchiha!" The one standing in front of the other three yelled and pointed at her.

"Captain I do not doubt your skill but I do think you are not leading this team in a way that will help the village. The Uchiha must be found and brought to Justice, yet you and your older sister the two strongest ANBU captains in the village who lead the most powerful teams refuse to search for him!" He voice was getting louder, he was getting angry. Sasuke looked at their captain, his savoir, wondering why she had done what she did for him and why she refused to look for him? She knew where he was but never came for him. This was something that was starting to hang in Sasukes head.

Rose was getting angry, really, really, angry. Her second in command was questioning her and he had a right to. Nothing he was saying was wrong. She had not done any mission that involved the Uchiha, simply because she didn't want to. Her and her sister Ami did indeed control the two most powerful ANBU squads but neither wanted to do anything that involved the Uchiha. He wasn't their problem, he was Sakura's problem. Kami knows what she would do if one of them brought Sasuke back mostly dead.

Probably yell and tell us we know nothing of love and life Rose thought almost chuckling to herself.

"We are going to go look for him" Her second's voice broke her out of her thoughts.

"You will die." She said bluntly with her masked face looking at her squad. They were silent so she continued.

"No shinobi or ANBU squad that has faced him has survived to tell what happened." She had no emotion in her voice, it seemed liked she didn't care if anything happened to them. Her squad looked at each other hesitantly.

"It doesn't matter" the second spoke.

"We need to find him and bring about his end." Sasuke couldn't help but smirk, this guy was either full of himself or just stupid. He should listen to his leader.

"Fine do what you want but I'm going home." Rose stood up. "I did not agree to do this second mission so do as you please. If you wind up dead I will be sure to put 'I told you so' on your head stone." Rose said this while turning her back and putting a hand up as if to wave and started to walk away, she then disappeared into thin air.

Sasuke could not feel the girl's chakra any more, she was gone. He was actually disappointed he wanted her to stay. Mainly to fight, her second had said that she was one of the strongest shinobi in the village. Oh yeah he wanted to fight her now. Oh well her squad will have to do. Sasuke then jumped out of the tree so the captain less squad could see him.

"It's him! It's the Uchiha!" The second in command yelled and pointed at him. All Sasuke could do was smirk, this was going to be fun.

They all rushed Sasuke at once, he managed to dodge three of them. The other two almost hit him but he caught one of them in a genjutsu and punched the other one back. The one he punched was the Second in command, well now the one in command. Sasuke charged at him, his crimson eyes staring deep into the ANBU's raven mask. The acting captain managed to barley dodged Sasukes sword. He couldn't help but feel a bit proud of himself but right when that thought entered his mind the Uchiha disappeared. The commander looked all around trying to see him or even sense him but he could not.

So he can hide his chakra? He's going to have to better than that. The second thought to himself.

"Everyone take formation!" He yelled at his teammates. All the ANBU backed into a circle so the Uchiha could not get the jump on them. Then he heard something that sounded like a lot of birds chirping he turned around to see his other teammates back then he looked up in the tree that was in front of his teammate. Only to see a flash of blue lightning heading straight for him.

Sasuke was disappointed to say the least. These men weren't very strong then again they didn't have their captain with them and didn't seem to know what they were doing without her. He had disappeared into a tree and hid his chakra once more and waited. They all huddled into a circle, this would be easy to break for him. He lifted up his right hand and a chidori had formed in it.

Might as well end this now. Sasuke thought pretty bored. He was hoping this would be more fun considering they had claimed to be one of the strongest ANBU squads.

I should know better than to overestimate such pathetic shinobi. Sasuke thought

He shot the chidori at the now facing him second in command and smirked. This was his end. Then right before the chidori hit the man in his heart someone pushed him out of the way and the chidori went right through the center of their chest. Sasuke stood still wondering who was crazy enough to get in front of that. Then he saw who it was, their captain had return just in time to save the man.

The second was on the ground in shock about what just happened. There stood his captain with a chidori going straight through the middle of her chest. She just stood there not moving he thought she might be dead. But then like always she proved him wrong. Her head moved slowly to see where the Uchiha was standing. Sasuke was surprised to say the least. He pulled back his chakra and stared at the now bleeding captain. She did not fall onto the ground in pain, nor did she scream in agony. She just stood there looking at him. Sasuke jumped down from the tree and looked at her.

"Well, looked who decided to come back." He said with a smirk. "Now things can get fun" His crimson eyes stared at the girl before him who didn't even look like she was having problems breathing, well to those around her. Inside her head was a whole other story.

Rose had felt Sasukes presence when she was talking with her squad and she knew he would try something sooner or later. So when she left she hid all traces of her chakra and sat back and watched as her team fail horribly to contain him. When she saw Sasuke throwing the chidiori she decided to help her sad excuse for a second in command. Her chest was hurting, bad. She was almost completely numb because of the attack but she held her ground, she wasn't going to let him kill her team. Sasuke sat here with a smirk on his face and was ready for a fight.

This is going to be a pain with them here she thought as she looked back at her team. They were strong yes but none of them could hold their own against him, so that meant she would have to protect them. Plus the mission they were on drained all of them this fight was beyond unfair to begin with. She looked back at Sasuke who had a weird purple color flowing around him then it started to take form.

Shit, shit, shit! Rose thought she knew what this was and it meant death for all of them.

Sasuke couldn't help but smirk more this captain took a small step back in fear. She, unlike her team, knew what he was doing. His susanoo was taking form. The purple skeleton had looked down at the ANBU who were in pure shock at it.

Rose and her team had heard of the susanoo but had never seen it. It was huge. The blade it held could easily cut through buildings and kill hundreds with one swing.

This is bad really bad. Rose thought to herself. She knew her team couldn't fight him, not like this. Sasuke's susanoo had swung at them and most got out of the way except one, the second in command, which was not fast enough. His scream could have been heard for miles. He's legs were cut clean off without any effort. The susanoo picked up its blade again, it was about to deliver the killing blow to the second. Right has the blade was swung someone got in front of the second and took the hit for him clear across the torso, that person was Rose.

The second looked up to see his captain, her arms were extended to her sides in a protecting manner, and she was covered head to toe in her own blood. She head saved his life, again.

"W-Why?" his voice was shaking.

"Take the second and get back to the village." Rose said not acknowledging his question. She was acting like she had not been hit with a major attack. But the second knew, he knew no one could walk away from that, not even her.

"But captain..." The others tried to interject.

"I SAID GO!" Rose just yelled, she never yelled. She was serious. One of the ANBU picked up the second and was about to leave.

"Don't die on us captain…" the second said his voice shaky from shock and blood loss. Rose ignored him she didn't look back as her squad left to get back to the village.

"You're such a noble captain." Sasuke said with amusement in his voice. This girl was still alive, how? He didn't know or care. She had taken two fatal hits for her second in command, the man who went behind her back and doubted every little thing about her. Rose couldn't help but smirk under her mask.

Dam second getting me in more trouble Rose thought. She looked at Sasuke she knew she would have to use that justsu in order to get out of this fight. She didn't want to use it, especially on him but she had to. It was to save her team, her village.

Sasuke couldn't help but be a bit surprised by this captain. She should be dead but she was standing tall, like nothing had hit her. Sasukes smirk got bigger he liked this ANBU she was actually challenging.

She came at him, fast he almost didn't see her, almost. She got behind him to knee his head but he moved just in time. Sasuke was now on one side of the small opening and her the other, they were staring at each other. Sasuke light up his blade with chidori and headed straight for her. She didn't move. She let Sasuke stab right through her, into her right lung puncturing it.

Sasuke was confused, she had just let him hit her. He stared at her, his blade through her chest she didn't move, she was dead, she had to be. Before Sasuke could withdraw the blade Rose took off her left glove and touched the exposed part of Sasukes arm. Sasukes sasunoo disappeared and so did the chidori on this blade. His crimson eyes turned onyx and his face was in complete surprise. It was gone, all of his chakra was gone. He couldn't feel it running in him anymore. Before he could do anything Rose knocked him down and was sitting on top of him.

"You…What did you do?!" Sasuke said through gritted teeth, he was livid. Whatever this girl did she better undo it before he took that sword out of her chest and slit her throat with it. But all Rose did was laugh. It was a soft weak laugh but a laugh none the less.

"I…I took all your chakra…and put it into my own body…" Rose said weakly. She held up her right hand where black flames emerged then disappeared.

"You…You did what?!" Sasuke was going to reach for his blade but before he could grab it she ripped it out of her chest herself. She flipped the sword and stabbed the ground right by Sasukes head with it, and then she gave another weak laugh.

"I win…"

"No…"Sasuke hissed. "I'll just kill you and get it back" She just laughed again.

'If I die…your chakra dies with me…and you will never get it back."

Sasuke froze. What, what did she just say? Before he could comprehend what she had said her lifeless body fell over to his side. Sasukes body reacted before his mind did. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and started running to the little shack he was staying in. He didn't know if she was lying or not but he would rather not find out. If she was lying then he would just kill her later.

Woo chapter three!
