Chapter 4: The Transferee
There she was, the girl from the plane, standing right in the doorway, with a radiant smile on her face. Sasuke felt like he had died and gone to heaven.
"I annoy noone." Kakashi said as he stood.
She rolled her eyes, "Says you."
Kakashi smiled as he walked over to her. She gave him a tight hug to which he returned by picking her up and spinning her around. She laughed and placed a hand on his shoulder to steady herself as she was put down. Sasuke watched this with narrowed eyes, his fist unconsciously clenched.
"I missed you."He told her as he placed an arm around her shoulder. Sasuke's eyes flickered red as he gritted his teeth. There was no way he was her boyfriend, he was too old to be. Wasn't he?
She scoffed, "Don't get all sappy on me now, Kakashi. I got it enough back home."
He pouted childishly, "Thanks, Sak, thanks a lot. I tell you I miss you and all I get is a 'don't get sappy on me. Blah blah blah.'" He said as he mimicked her voice, earning a shove from her.
"Your such a pain in the ass, but if it makes you feel better, I missed you too." She told him as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. A sharp pain went threw Sasuke's heart as he witnessed the small gesture.
"Tch, you better have, else I would have had to ground you."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he heard that. Ground? What? Who the hell was he to her?
"Like you would have grounded her." Hinata scoffed.
"I know, right Hinata.....," She looked at the girl and her eyes lightened up as she smiled brightly, running to the same girl who was now standing, "HINATA!!!!"
She pounced on her, knocking them both to the ground as they rolled around it, laughing the whole time.
"Glad to see your happy to see someone." Kakashi grumbled as he went back and sat down in his chair.
She laughed at him as she stood and helped Hinata up, giving her a tight hug, "Hinata! I missed you."
"I missed you, too Sak, but what are you doing here?"
"He didn't tell you?" She asked, glancing at Kakashi who was looking at anything but her while whistling innocently.
"Tell me what?"
"That you were getting a transferee?"
"You're the transferee?!" Hinata yelled in excitement and Sakura nodded, with a small laugh.
"What else would I be doing here?"
"Visiting your most favorite Uncle, of course."Kakashi answered her and she snorted.
"I have no favorite Uncle here."
"Jeez, thanks." Kakashi said sarcastically and she laughed as she walked over to him and gave him another hug.
"I'm just kidding. You're the best."
"I know." Kakashi said smugly and she flicked his head as she rolled her eyes.
"Can someone please explain to me what the hell is going on?" Naruto finally said causing everyone to look at him.
"Sure. I'll basically be on your team from now on."Sakura explained simply.
"No shit, but how do you know Kakashi?" Neji questioned and she looked at him like he was an idiot.
"What are you, deaf? Did you not just hear me say he was my Uncle?"
Neji's eyes narrowed and he opened his mouth to make a snide remark but he was cut off as Sasuke spoke, "Nice to see you again."
The girl looked in direction and smirked, "Same to you, ."
Sasuke was surprised that she knew his last name. Than again if Kakashi was her Uncle, he understood how.
"You two met before? Where?" Kakashi asked with interest.
"On the plane to here, actually. There was two sluts annoying him so I guess I kind of helped him out."She said, not exactly sure how put there encounter.
"Yeah." Sasuke agreed.
"And he told you his name?"
"Nope, Shikamaru told me all his old members name, seeing as I was transferring."
"How'd you know he was Sasuke though?"
"The fan on his necklace." She answered as she pointed to it.
"How'd you know what it meant?"
"Research, of course." Sakura replied.
"Research, huh? I suppose you researched them all than. Care to tell me about them, than?"Kakashi asked as he leaned back in his chair.
Sakura smiled at her Uncle's challenge, "Of course. What do you want to know?"
"Strengths, Weaknesses, if any, and amount of kills."
Sakura nodded as she turned towards the blonde, "He's Naruto Uzumaki, an Elite Assassin that prefers to face his opponents face to face rather than by hiding and shooting. His strengths are hand to hand combat, his endurance and his speed, plus he's pretty good with a pistol. His sole weakness would be that he's too loud for his own good and most of the time he ends up fighting more people than he has to because of it. His first kill was at age ten and since than he has had around two thousand five hundred kills."
"Very good. Next."
She turned to Neji, "Neji Hyuuga, also an Elite Assassin, who prefers to use a pistol to kill his opponents, due to the fact, he thinks no one is good enough to go against him. His strengths would be his stealth, speed, agility and his ability to wield a pistol. His weakness is that he thinks too highly of himself and his abilities and has gotten injured several times because of his refusal to be apart of a team. His first kill was at age ten as well and since than he has had around three thousand."
"Continue."
She turned towards Hinata, "Hinata Hyuuga, another Elite Assassin. She prefers to use a sniper to kill any targets she might get. If she's with a team, she's usually the medic, being highly skilled in that area. Her strengths would be her accuracy, mostly due to the Byukagan, her stealth and her medical abilities. Her weakness would be that she thinks too lowly of herself while on the battlefield. It would probably be why she likes to use a sniper. Her first kill was at age twelve and she has had around one thousand five hundred since than."
Her Uncle didn't need to tell her to continue as she turned to look at Sasuke, who looked right back at her, his stare intense, as he got ready to listen to what she was going to say about him, "Sasuke Uchiha, the top Elite in the organization in Japan and ranked second in amount of kills. He has no real preference as to how to kill a target as long as they die. His strengths would be his speed, endurance, agility, stealth and his skill. He's able to use every gun, nearly perfectly, plus he's a very skilled swordsmen and martial artist. His weakness would be his cockiness and the fact that he always wears something that holds his clan symbol on it, making it easy for anyone to identify him. Another one would also be his inability to kill or even raise his hands to a female. His first kill was at nine and since than he has had over four thousand five hundred kills."
"Impressive, very impressive."A rough male voice said from the doorway. Every head except Sasuke's turned towards the voice. Sasuke already knew who it was.
There stood a six foot two man, with long black hair and ruby colored eyes. He had features very similar to Sasuke.
"Madara." Kakashi greeted the man, who nodded to him as he looked at the pink haired girl.
"So you're the new transferee, huh?"
She looked over the man, her eyes and face emotionless before she nodded stiffly, "I am."
"And your name is....?"
"You should know, you wanted me here." She told him and he smirked. Sasuke watched the exchange with narrowed, curious eyes.
"Indeed, Sakura Haruno," He looked at her for a second than looked back at his nephew, who was watching her, "I do believe I made the right choice as well."
Without another word he turned and left the room; the steel door closing behind him.
"What the hell was that?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Sakura answered him, her eyes still watching the steel door.
"Anyway, excellent job on the research, Sakura. You got it all right, and no don't start saying that she didn't Naruto," Kakashi said as he looked at the blonde, "As I've told you, you've got tonight off to say goodbye to Neji. Tomorrow be in here by ten in the morning, and I'll give you your next assignment. Got it?...Good. Your all dismissed except for Sasuke and Sakura."
"See you late teme, Sakura." Naruto said as he walked out.
"Don't wait for your girlfriend or anything you idiot. She'll be perfectly fine on her own." Sakura yelled to him sarcastically and he came back sporting a sheepish grin.
"Hehe, my bad."
"We'll probably be going out to say goodbye to Neji, so call me so we can get ready together and catch up, alright?" Hinata said as she gave her a hug.
"Alright, I'll get the number from Sasuke."
"See you, Sak."Hinata said as she walked out with Naruto. By than Neji was long gone, having been the first one out.
When the door shut Kakashi spoke, "Until I can get you a house your going to stay with Sasuke at his home. I'd take you in but I pretty much live here."
"Uhhh, ok?"
"I suppose I get no choice in this, than?" Sasuke asked with annoyance. Not that she was gonna stay with him but because he hadn't be asked; he had been told.
"If you don't want me to stay with you, just tell me, I'll go find a hotel, or stay with Hinata or something." Sakura told him and he shook his head.
"No, you can stay with me."
"Alright, now that that's settled, you are dismissed." Kakashi told them.
As Sakura went and gave him a hug, he whispered in her ear, "We'll have to discuss what I've missed over dinner one day this week."
Sakura swallowed hard as she laughed nervously at his stern look, "Of course. See you later."
Sasuke bowed his head to Kakashi before he turned and walked out, Sakura following behind him.
As they got outside of the mansion by the driveway, Sasuke realized he had no car. He supposed that was a good thing unless Sakura didn't have one either. Than they were both screwed. His eyes soughed her out and he found her in the driver seat of a black lamborghini gallardo spyder. He smirked as he walked over and hopped into the passenger seat.
She raised an eyebrow at him.
"I came here with Hinata." He answered her unspoken question. She nodded as she took black sunglasses off the dashboard and put them on.
"I'd suggest putting your seatbelt on."
"Why?"
She gave him a raised eyebrow as if to ask, was he serious? He nodded and placed his seatbelt on.
"What's your houses address?" She asked, gesturing to her G.P.S. system.
The moment he put his address in she was off, driving with her foot pushing the petal almost all the way down. He was very glad he put his seatbelt on or else he probably would have been thrown back and out of the car as they sped down the dirt trail, leaving a bunch of dust behind them. She went so fast that they managed to catch up to Hinata, Naruto and Neji. Hinata and Naruto were in her Porsche while Neji was in a Mercedes Benz. She had to quickly swerve, going into the lane that cars came in, in order to avoid hitting them, as she pressed her foot to the break and turned the wheel to the left. They skidded to a stop, facing the way she turned.
The three were looking at them as if they had gone crazy and Sasuke was smirking. This girl was crazy but he liked it. She had a need for speed just like him.
"What the hell? Are you trying to kill yourselves?" Neji yelled at the two as he pulled up on the left side of them. Hinata pulled up on there right side.
"Psh, you obviously have no idea how to have fun." Sakura told him.
"I can tell me and you are gonna be good friends, Sakura." Naruto said with a laugh and she winked at him.
She revved her engine a little, "So what do you say? How bout a race?"
"I say bring it on."Naruto said as he fastened his seatbelt.
"Hinata? Neji? You in?"
"If we're going to do this, you might as well drive, Naruto." Hinata said as she unfastened her seatbelt. Naruto grinned as he kissed her cheek and got out of the car. He opened her door for her as she got out and got in while she went to the other side.
"Whatever." Neji said as he got ready.
Sakura smiled, "Alright, we're racing to the front of Sasuke's house, which is around ten miles from here. On your mark, get set....GO!"
With that she pushed the petal and the car jerked forward as they sped down the road, shifting to second gear as she went. She could hear the other two behind her so she pressed the petal a bit more with her foot, gaining some more speed as she shifted into third gear. She saw the only turn coming up two miles ahead on her G.P.S. and got ready for it, placing her hand on the shifter, and moving her foot to the edge of the petal.
She growled as she saw Naruto pass her on her right and Neji come up next to her on her left. As they reached the turn they slowed down so they could turn safely while she, at the last second, hit the break, and turned the wheel, skidding around the turn sharply. She placed her foot right back on the petal and continued at the speed she had been going, smiling as she pressed down the accelerator and shifted into fourth gear. She could hear the other two cars gaining distance behind her.
She glanced at her G.P.S. and saw she had another mile before she had to turn again. She got herself ready, knowing within a minute she would be at it due to her speed.. She heard the other two come closer behind her and knew they were going to do the same thing as she was. She smirked. It would most certainly make things more interesting. She pressed her foot to the break as she once again turned the car, this time to the right. She saw the other two do the same and the three cars skidded as they turned the corner sharply.
She cursed when she saw that Naruto was getting too close to her car and floored her car, speeding forward towards the last four mile stretch. She had gained a slight lead on the other two now. She smiled to herself knowing she was home free now. Even if they caught up to her she still had her nitrous. Luck was not on her side, however as a police charger turned down the block they were racing down.
"Fuck." She heard Sasuke curse and she glanced at him. He must have saw out of the corner of his eye as he looked at her. She had a gleam in her eye, one that meant trouble, no doubt. She stared intently at him with those emerald green eyes of hers, not even focusing on the road. He knew he should be worried because they could possibly hit a car but for some reason he just didn't care at the moment. She had a feeling that she had done this often as she was driving. He watched her glance at a small red button on her steering wheel for a moment, making sure he saw what she looked at before looking back at him, as if asking permission.
He pulled out his cell phone and pressed the walkie talkie button, making sure only the members of his team could hear, "Split up guys. We'll take the cop."
"Copy that teme." Naruto answered back as he slowed his speed and turned down the nearest road.
"Alright." Neji said as he picked up speed.
Sakura knew exactly what he was doing and slammed the breaks on her car, jerking the car to a sudden stop, around twenty yards from where the charger was. Neji sailed passed the still car and Sakura knew that it was going to go after them. She smiled, waved at the officer, who turned his lights on in response and put the car in reverse before flooring it. The charger came forward after them, just as she expected them too.
When she gained a considerable amount of distance between her and the charger she turned the wheel, making the car do a one eighty so she was facing forward, put it in drive and floored it once more. She readjusted her rear view mirror so she could perfectly see the charger behind her before she glanced at Sasuke.
She smiled as she saw he was relaxed, enjoying the ride. She shifted into second as she turned down a street to the right. She had no idea where she was going, truthfully, but that didn't matter much as long as she got away from the cop. It actually reminded her to do something as she pressed a small license plate emblem on the steering wheel. A silver metal plate came up and covered each of her license plates so they couldn't trace it. And even if they did she could always change them.
She turned again to the right and smiled as she saw nothing but open straight road for at least twenty miles. She pressed her foot down slowly as she shifted gears from third to fourth, from fourth to fifth, as she sped down the road, the charger a good mile behind her by this time. She glanced at her G.P.S. that still showed her the way to Sasuke's house and pressed her foot to the break as she shifted down and turned to the right, entering Sasuke's block. She hurried to the entrance of his home and just as the gate opened the charger turned the corner and she sped into the estate.
She sighed as she watched it pass the gate and keep going. Well that was one hell of a ride.
"That was fun, wasn't it?" Sakura said to him and he gave a nod, smirking.
"Yeah, maybe next time I could drive."
"You any good?" She asked him and he gave her a pointed look.
"Duh." She gave a laugh.
"We'll see," She told him with a wink. They pulled up to his house a few moments later and she parked her car right behind his.
"Where'd you learn how to drive like that?" He asked as he unlocked the door to his house and stepped in.
She furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at him, "My Uncle didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"That I'm an ex-gang member."
(A/N: Well there you have it. Sakura has appeared. And what do you know she was once in a gang. Wonder where that will take the story. Hmmmm.....=P)
