Sakura's Majikku Mission
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 7
Last time:
In such a small voice that Kakashi almost missed her answer, Sakura answerd him, and the answer explained everything in a flash, causing Kakashi's eyes to widen and to turn onto the apparently innocent letters on the desk. However he feared what they would contain, feared the reaction Sakura would have from them.
"Their from Naruto and Sasuke, Kakashi, that's their handwritting.

Sakura sat in bed with the two letters in front of her. Kakashi had gone to get something to eat and then do the routine patrol of the castle. She was alone in the room. Deciding to get the one she thought worst out of the way, she picked up the letter which was addressed to her in a small neat handwriting. Opening it she snuggled deeper into the covers and started to read.
'Sakura
I won't say that I have a clue as to what thoughts possess you at the moment; however I will say that they are of an incredible stupidity. The mission you accepted is an ANBU ranked mission. It is too complicated for you; you don't possess the level of skill necessary for this mission. You will be a burden on Kakashi, so I am telling you to resign from this mission and let someone who is actually capable replace you.
I assume the day you left you saw me with the others. Ino, is a pass time, she is good for my reputation. You have known from the beginning that I have two goals to complete in my life. The first was to kill the one who murdered my entire clan, my elder brother Itachi Uchiha. That goal as you know is fulfilled. My second goal is to restore my clan, for this I need a strong woman by my side. Ino is not strong enough, her techniques although they are useful, they are not as useful as yours are. My children, the future members of the Uchiha clan must be the best, they will all have my bloodline, and with perfect chakra control they would be incredibly powerful. I need you by my side to restore my clan Sakura. As your future husband I will not tolerate such stupidity from the future mother of my children. Send a message to the Hokage saying that you are letting someone else replace you.
Also when you come back you will apologize for everything. You surely know that because of your whining, and complaints to the Hokage, she demoted everyone you saw that morning to Genin permanently. You will ask her to rectify that, and request for yourself to be removed from active duty. When you return you will accept my proposal and we will wed. If all goes according to plan you will be with child soon after.
This charade has lasted long enough. It is time for you to grow up and do the right thing, instead of acting like a spoilt child. Come back to Konohagakure. Enough is enough.
Sasuke.'
By the time Sakura had finished the letter she wanted to punch something. She was furious, how dare Sasuke decide things for her. Well in any case there is no way she would ever give in to him. Also she was going to kill him after this mission. She threw his letter across the room with such force that it broke the vase it hit.
Sakura took some deep calming breaths before reaching for Naruto's letter. Pushing the contents of Sasuke's to the side, she opened it and once again started to read.
'Sakura-chan,
What happened, I don't understand. Why did you run away and then take a year long mission?? I mean finally Team 7 is back together after all these years, although it's a shame Sai left. I enjoyed fighting with him. Tsunade- baba told us that we betrayed you, I don't understand, I asked Sasuke, and he said you were overreacting. I mean Sakura you knew Sasuke and Ino were together right they've been together for ages. I know you spent a lot of time with Sasuke-teme, but that was all for mission and training, at least that's what teme said.
Anyway I am worried Sakura-chan, you're on a mission which is classified as a mission for Anbu, so I don't know why Tsuande let you go on it. I mean Kakashi, yes he's ANBU, but you're not. I don't want you to get hurt. I know you can look after yourself, I'm not saying you're weak, but still ANBU level is not easy. I mean Teme and I were going to sign up for the next exams in January, but since Tsunade-baba got really really mad at us, we are now all Genin permanently until she changes her mind. When I say me I mean everybody who was in that field on the morning you left, except Temari cause he's sand, not leaf. But I have nothing to do now, all the missions are boring. I spend all my time at Ichikaru's, not that I'm complaining, Ramen!! Hey do you have Ramen where you are right now? I f you don't I feel so sorry!! A year without Ramen, It would be torture!! I'll send you some in my next letter. Tsunade said I could write to you. But only you can give permission for me to come visit.
Be careful, Sakura-chan. Say hi to Kakashi and that I want a spar with him when he gets back. Well I have to go, its lunch time, and my ramen is calling me from Ichikaru's. But be safe Saku-chan. Please write back.
Naruto.'
As she finished reading, Sakura realised two things. One that Naruto had no idea about the situation between her and Sasuke, and he thought that they were just friends, and two that she missed Naruto. In an opposite manner from Sasuke's letter, Sakura folded Naruto's letter and put it carefully on her bedside table. Tired from everything that had happened in the day, Sakura snuggled deeper under the covers and drifted off into dreamland.
That was how Kakashi found her, curled up asleep in bed looking like a little Angel. He saw that one letter must have angered her from the evidence of it resting amongst the debris of a broken vase. Saying to himself he would ask in the morning, Kakashi changed into a pair of sweats and slipped into bed behind Sakura and pulled her up against him, locking his arm around her waist. Sakura turned in her sleep and cuddled up closer against Kakashi, with a smile on her face. Kakashi watched the woman in his arms for a while before drifting off to sleep himself.

Sakura awoke at 5 am in the morning as usual. When she opened her eyes she saw a semi awake Kakashi. Smiling at him, she slowly tried to pull herself out of his grasp only for it to tighten.
"Kakashi time to get up, we need to train before breakfast."
"Don't feel like it, go back to sleep."
Sakura rolled her eyes before wrenching herself out of his grip and going over to the bathroom. Half an hour she emerged, dressed in her ANBU outfit minus her mask.
As she walked past the balcony, she did a double take.
"Kakashi!! Look." She squealed while looking out the window.
"What?" came the muffled answer from the lump that resided under the covers of the bed.
"It's snowing, the whole of the grounds are covered in snow. Its beautiful." Said Sakura. Snow was rare in fire country but whenever it had snowed Sakura loved it.
An unruly mop of silver hair followed by a face popped out from underneath the covers to watch Sakura act like a giddy child as she watched the snow. Sighing Kakashi got up, knowing fully well that either way he was going to be dragged out into the snow by Sakura.
Twenty minutes later Sakura was outside the grand entrance twirling in the snow while Kakashi stood on the steps and watched her.
However the second he closed his eye, he was hit in the face by a snowball. After the snow was wiped off, his gaze settled on a smirking Sakura, who already had another snowball in her hand ready to throw.
"Right" was all Kakashi said before he engaged in battle. And that was how on one December morning two members of ANBU were having a full fledged snowball fight.

Dumbledore tapped his glass to gain the attention of the students who were all eating Breakfast.
"Students of Hogwarts, since the quidditch match of this weekend has been postponed due to the weather; after much deliberation between the staff and I. There will be a Christmas ball held this Saturday evening, all years may attend, dress robes or muggle evening wear is allowed. Also we will all be in dress as well. The guards…"
Dumbledore as interrupted when the two fore mentioned guards came though the doors. Kakashi and Sakura were covered in snow, but Sakura was also drenched to the bone, and was clearly mad with Kakashi, judging from the way she was glaring at him. They made their way swiftly towards the table and sat own after apologizing for being late.
"So as I was saying everyone including the guards are welcome to attend. So on Saturday morning you are allowed out to Hogsmeade. That is all, enjoy your breakfast."
Chatter broke out in the Great Hall everyone excited about the upcoming dance.
As breakfast finished and the students filled out, two shadows jumped over everyone and high tailed it up the stairs, one running for his life, the other yelling at the top of her lungs at him for having knocked her into the freezing lake.

Later that evening Sakura and Kakashi were sitting on the roof as their summons patrolled the castle and the grounds.
Kakashi was sitting up leaned against the tiles, with Sakura who was sitting in between his legs, her back flush against his chest. Their katana's were lying on the roof next to them.
As they sat there, Kakashi remembered the letters from yesterday. His curiosity got the better of him, so he asked:
"Sakura, what did the letters say?"
He felt her tense up before she relaxed again, and then she proceeded to tell him of what Sasuke and Naruto had said in their letters.
"So basically Sasuke is a complete asshole and Naruto is completely ignorant of the truth." Kakashi summed up after her explanation.
"Basically. I'm not going to answer Sasuke, but I will write a letter to Naruto and to Tsunade."
"Good idea." And then the pair fell into a comfortable silence. Kakashi could understand her anger towards Sasuke, and knew that there was a high possibility she might kill the boy when she returned to Konohagakure.
Suddenly one of Sakura's slugs appeared, and told that a group of twenty one hostile enemies were in the forest and were heading straight for the group of students and Hagrid who were out for an evening lesson.
Kakashi grabbed their katana's quickly securing them on their backs and took off to the location, their minds slipping into their combat mode. They were now the ANBU, the elite ninja, trained to kill any threat.
/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/
Harry, Hermione and Ron were in Care of Magical creatures listening to Hagrid talk about thestrals again. They were having a night class, so they could observe the nocturnal behaviour of the thestrals. The only source of light in the clearing they were in was from enchanted balls of light which floated in the air, and the light of the full moon.
Letting his mind wonder away from the class, Harry turned his gaze to the edge of the Forbidden forest. Just as he was going to turn away, he caught sight of something moving towards the class. Straining to see better, he watched carefully the movement in the forest. When he realised what it was he grabbed his wand so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Without turning away from what he was watching Harry called out to Hagrid.
"Hagrid….."
"Not now Harry, so as I was sayin..."
"HAGRID!!" Harry yelled. Hagrid turned to look at Harry as did the rest of the class. But what he was going to say never came out as the sight before them made cold fear run through their veins.
Coming out of the forest was a pack of werewolves. Over 20 fully transformed werewolves were making their way towards the 5th year class of Slytherins and Gryffindors. All students were pulling their wands out. At the front of the pack was the obvious leader Fenrir Greyback.
The werewolves stopped about ten metres away from the group of students, most who were hiding behind Hagrid. Harry gripped his wand tightly and prepared to cast a stunning spell. Out of the side of his eye he could see Ron, Hermione, Dean, doing the same thing. To his surprise Malfoy and Zabini were also preparing to fight along side them. He caught Malfoy's eye, and to his surprisse the blond boy gave half a smile to him, and nodded his head at Harry, before his silvery eyes turned cold and he turned his attention back to the werewolves.
Fenrir Greyback nodded his head, and two werewolves charged towards the students, however before they could make it halfway, they fell to the ground dead. One missing its head, the other with its throat slit.
Silence fell over the students, and the group of werewolves as Kakashi stood with the blood of one of the werewolves dripping of his katana, while at his side Sakura shook the excess blood of the kunai she held in her hand.
Fenrir Greyback howled in anger and ten werewolves went straight towards Kakashi and Sakura. The pair of them smirked before moving. Kakashi jumped into the air sharingan exposed, as Sakura's fist met the ground causing sharp shards of rock to explode out of the ground. Up in the air Kakashi made the necessary signs faster that the eyes could see.
Forming a circle with his fingers in front of his mouth, Kakashi yelled out
" Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu" and a great ball of fire fell down on the werewolves who were behind Fenrir Greyback burning them to death in seconds.
Sakura in the meantime was in the middle of the attacking werewolves, Katana out and swinging. Blood flew in all directions as her katana cut down one by one the werewolves.
Barely five minutes later only Fenrir Greyback was left standing. He was visibly hesitating. Many students had fallen to the ground in shock. The guards that were so laid back, funny and seemed to be okay people; had changed completely. They were fighting in front of them, ruthlessly killing the attackers. Never had Harry seen such fighting, this type of combat was stuff from books and movies.
Kakashi and Sakura stood side by side. An invisible understanding passed between them as in union they charged forwards. Green charka scalpels formed on Sakura's fingers while Kakashi formed the Chidori. At the same time they struck. Sakura's scalpels cut through Fenrir Greyback's spine and throat, just as Kakashi forced the Chidori straight through his chest, destroying his heart. The pair pulled away and the corpse fell to the ground.
The pair turned back to the students and weren't surprised when they all cringed and some even took steps away from them.
"Okay everybody back to the castle now. Follow Sakura who will lead you and I will be following behind. Do not break ranks and walk in silence. Hagrid come with us please." Ordered Kakashi.
Everybody obeyed quickly. Harry walked next to Hermione, with Ron on her other side, each holding one of her hands. As al the students arrived in the great Hall they saw all of the school was up and the other teachers were running over to them, only to stop in their tracks as the guards entered.
Kakashi and Sakura were a frightening sight to see. Both were covered from head to toe in blood yet, none of it was theirs. Their blade still dripping blood, their hair was now a mixture of red along with their natural colour. They were truly something which seemed to come straight out of a horror story. All the teachers turned pale, as whispers broke out in the great hall between all the students.
Umbridge however started to yell at the top of her voice.
"Dumbledore!! Look there is the proof that these two muggles must be arrested and sent to prison. Look they are a threat to the wizarding nation. As member of the ministry of magic I order you to come peacefully to the ministry where I will have you put in trial for your actions against me." She had a gleeful smile on her face, thinking that she had won. Silence reigned in the great hall as everyone waited for the guards to answer.
Sakura turned her head to Kakashi who visibly nodded to her. Sakura disappeared only to reappear behind Umbridge. But before Umbridge could scream she was lifted off the ground into the air, by Sakura who held her up by her neck. Kakashi appeared next to her with his Sharingan exposed and pulled Umbridge into a genjutsu.
Umbridge visibly started to shake and sweat. Then they dropped her. The walked towards the exit on the hall, but as they did Kakashi spoke.
"Stay out of our way woman and you will stay alive, cross us one more time, we will not hesitate to retaliate. And if you attempt to arrest us, you will be facing war from not just our nation but our allies too. You saw what we can do, do not test our patience."
Kakashi and Sakura disappeared from view in a puff of smoke and a swirl of cherry blossom petals.
Dumbledore although he was still in shock had a small smile on his face. Hiring these two guards were possibly the very best thing he had done for the school.
