Sakura walked through the village slowly enjoying her tea she had picked up at a stand. It was different than her usual taste but today was going to be an unusual day. So it suited the purpose. Taking one more sip of the sweet substance, Sakura began looking through all the people in the crowd.

Sakura and Tsunade and read thoroughly through every detail this mission entailed. It should be easy to find her target, hopefully keeping the mission short.

Sakura looked to the left of herself not noticing the object in front of her.

"UH" the sound escaped sakura's lips. She bumped into the object, the man rather, as she dropped her tea to the cold dirt floor. Leaving the dirt to brush up her feet in a fog as the cup made a smack to the ground.

"I'm sorry." Sakura pulled her hand up slowly, cupping her mouth lightly, in shock as the man turned to face her. His hair was short, and the few long strands of hair in front were spiked. His eyes were a sea deep green color, matching the loose tank top that overlapped his, cargo like, black bottoms. Sakrua looked down quickly glancing at his sandals, noticing the small spiral tattoo on his foot. Bingo, this couldn't have been better timing, Sakura thought smiling to herself.

"I wasn't paying attention." Sakura smiled sweetly, now devising a plan in her head. Sakura began to speak again, before being cut off.

"Pretty sloppy for being a kunoicki." the man spat out. "Don't you think?" he laughed a bit.

Sakura's blood boiled to her face. What a jerk he was. Here she was trying to apologize for her mistake and he was blowing it off with slide remarks. This wasn't how she expected everything to pan out. Maybe this guy was going to be more of a challenge to get on his good side than she originally had thought.

"Relax." The man smiled, " I'm only trying to make a joke." he innocently closed his eyes. His hand was now awkwardly behind his head, scratching it lightly.

"Oh." Sakura gazed up at him. He was tall, he really sky scraped over Sakura's petite 5"4 body frame. He was around at least 6"4. Sakura lightly now moved her hands together, cupped in front of her. "Maybe it's you who should apologize! So tall I could have been knocked out.." Sakura winked as she smirked, laughing.

"Is that how it works in this village? A young lady walks herself into a man, suddenly it's his fault for being so big?" The unknown man laughed back. "Maybe I could make it up to you, if I knew your name." The man hinted for an answer to Sakura.

"It's Sakura. Sakura Haruno."

"Beautiful name for a lovely lady."

"I don't suppose you have a name too?" Sakura asked as she placed her pink, out grown bangs, behind her ear in anticipation.

"It's Hadecki." he said pulling his hand forward, grabbing Sakura's for a light handshake.

"Sakura?" a female voice said in questioning. Sakura spun around to see Ino in front of her. "Who's this you're with?" Ino continued in curiosity.

"This is my new friend, Hadecki. He was just about to take me out, for.." Sakura was quickly interrupted.

"For her bumping into me." Hadecki laughed as Sakura joined in. Both of them had understood the humor in the joke, from their previous conversation. Ino stood their dumbfounded.

"Well okay.." Ino said confused as both of them continued to smile at each other, finishing their laughing fit. "I was curious if you were busy, but I assume you are now."

"If you don't mind?" Hadecki looked towards Sakura. " It would be nice if we could get to know each other." Hadecki finished, waiting for Sakura's reply.

"Sorry Ino, maybe another time!" Sakura said giving Hadecki his answer.

"Okay Sakura, I'll see you some other time." Ino finished waving as she walked away.

Hadecki turned towards Sakura, smiling as he had now met a beautiful Kunoicki to accompany him on his visit to the village. " Want to join me on a walk through town, and look for a meal?"

"Why not?" Sakura nodded as they both walked farther into town, together.
