Not So Sweet

Chapter Nine: A Not So Sweet Situation

'What should I do...?' Sakura thought to herself as she sat in her bed all alone thinking up a way to free Kakashi, and then get them both out. She sat there thinking all morning, she even skipped lunch. She only moved when she heard a knock on the door, but she didn't get up to answer it, she only got up when she heard a voice say "Hey Sakura..." She recognized the voice right away. She stood up and slowly walked to the door, and then slowly opened it.

"What do you want Sasuke-kun?" She asked when she got it open.

He then pushed her in her room and forced himself in, then slammed the door shut. She had fallen to the ground when he pushed her. And all he did was stare at her in disgust. She again asked, but this time in a meaner tone "What do you want, Sasuke?" He lifted an eyebrow 'No –kun?' he thought to himself.

"You need to go." He stated bluntly. "No," was her very quick reply. "I have a mission to finish, besides for the first time by back doesn't hurt. I'm not leaving until Kakashi is safe, and I finish my mission." "Hnn," was his reply.

He looked at her with a look of hate, but she just matched it with an even more intense stare then his. They stared for awhile, and it was Sasuke who lost when he asked, "What's you mission?" She gave a sly smile and said "You'll find out soon enough, just you wait."

'What happened to her...this isn't the Sakura I know...not in the least. She never thought about doing anything other then what I said, where's this coming from? And no –kun either...' He thought and as if Sakura was reading his mind she said "I'm not the same Sakura you know. I'm stronger, and ready for anything, so don't get in my way or you may end up dead." Sasuke lifted an eyebrow as if to challenge her, then he spat out "Hard to believe coming from a girl who cried all night last night." "I did better then you concerning the circumstances. At least I kept consciousness and didn't scream, I just quietly cried in peace." Sasuke became pissed at this and grabbed her by the neck; she simply smirked as he tried to choke her. Then it hit him from behind, a sharp pain in his neck, and then he fell to the floor unconscious. The Sakura he had been strangling poofed into thin air and the real Sakura stood behind him smirking.

"Come on Sasuke...that's the oldest trick in the book; don't make this too easy for me. She looked him over and the smirk she had grew. 'So, he still thinks I'm on his team...well he's got another thing coming.' She thought to herself smugly.

When Sasuke woke up he was tied up and hanging in a tree in a training ground for their small 'village.' "Damn you Sakura!" he yelled, and all Sakura did was smirk in delight as she watched him from behind a building. She then ran off to her room. Soon the whole 'village' would see Sasuke's situation, and she was damn proud that it was her who took the great Sasuke down and made a fool of him in front of his people. She hoped he'd never live it down.

She thought to herself in her room 'everything's going according to plan...I'll free Kakashi when Naruto comes with our armies, and then we'll hit them, and maybe Sasuke will join us, but if not, I'll prove to him how strong I've become.' Those were the last thoughts on her mind as she drifted away to sleep. The only thing that she didn't understand was the pain she had had in her back, but it was gone now, and she was going to hit them, and hard."

Thank you all so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed! I'll update ASAP, but tonight I go to homecoming! My dress is so awesome, it screams "Hey look at me! I'm single!" lol
