Chapter nine: Poisoned

(Yep warning starting the chapter sad ne? Rated M for a reason I don't know how many times I got to warn someone but here's one more ne? Lol start of a slight lemon? Lime maybe?)

Sakura stared up into gray eyes. The gray eyes of the man above her as she lay flat to her bed. He lowered his mouth to hers and his hands slid up naked flesh. She shivered and smirked against his mouth. Just as he was about thrust again there was a knock on her door. The male with his short red hair and gray eyes removed his mouth from hers to look to the direction of the front door.

He glanced at her and saw the face she made. She couldn't believe some one was interrupting her day off, let alone her time with her lover. It had been so long since she had time to herself let alone time with an Akatsuki lover. Between Kakashi and Sasuke spending all their waking moments watching her or with her, she had no time alone, let alone with a lover of the Akatsuki variety.

Between Tsunade asking her to take double shifts at the hospital and then asking her to sub on missions, then having her team on extra work, she had no time for herself. Even the Hyuuga seemed upset she had no time to spend with him. Of course she understood his reasons exactly.

The Hyuuga just wanted a little pleasure. She could give that, of course she needed time, and lately she had none. She thought she got a day off today, and here she was spending it with Sasori who was coming all the way here just to give her details on what Pein wanted her to do for the Akatsuki here.

She, of course, never refusing the chance of a lover, jumped on the chance to see a little more of the ex-puppet. Being her only real lover in terms of sexually with the Akatsuki. She didn't understand why he was the first, or why she was with him. They both had specialties in poisons, both knew a lot about assassination, and they both were good at their jobs and didn't like to do things pointlessly. She enjoyed spending time with him even if it didn't have to do with sex. That however was amazing of course.

Spending time with Sasori was different then with her other lovers. Sometimes she learned from them yes, but Sasori and her saw eye to eye. It was like he knew what she thought and how she thought. He knew her bounders and never pushed them, never asked for more then she would willingly give. Of all her lovers she had to say she liked him the best.

Love had nothing to do with it. So don't even get her started. Sasori paused mid thrust as another knock sounded this time more urgent and she groaned.

" Why did you stop it's not important." She muttered around his neck as she sunk teeth into his flesh, trying not to moan too loud. If who ever was at the door thought she wasn't home maybe they would leave. She so hoped. This was more important to her at least.

" SAKURA-CHAN!" She was going to kill Naruto Uzumaki. Sasori made a move to move but she flipped them so she was on top and slapped a hand to hold him down as she moved her hips. She shook her head telling him no. He would not leave she was too bound up she needed release and by god he would give it to her.

" Shouldn't you answer him?" Sasori asked with a low grunt as she moved faster nearing her close. Two more thrusts and she came shutting her mouth tight and grinding teeth together as white hot pleasure burst around her. Sasori made a strangled sound and she kissed him so he wouldn't give them away.

She of course heard footsteps rushing up her stairs and growled under her breath as she was still in the after math of her pleasure, Sasori pulled out and just suddenly disappeared as Naruto burst in. She stood and wrapped a sheet around her waist as she glared and the darkly blushing blond moron, and Sasuke who was entering behind him. ( O.O)

(Stop lemon lime?)

" Do you want to take a dang picture? What the hell do you want?" She asked losing her tempter, it wasn't like she was in the middle of something or anything noo...Didn't these people understand privacy? Why do they even have doors if everyone just walked in anyway?

" I didn't know...you had company." Naruto muttered turning an unruly shade of lobster. Sasuke flushed a little at her nude form from the waist up, but she didn't care.

" Yo." And of course Kakashi would just pop up in her room. When he spotted her his eyes bugged and his ears turned red as well. Her last nerve was about to just burst.

" What. Do. YOU. WANT!" She yelled that stress, the anger all just coming lose.

It was silent for a long time until finally.

" Mission." That from Sasuke who had the gull to stare opening at her body, while Naruto at least had the decency to turn his back to her so not to peak, and Kakashi seemed like he had just lost a ton of blood to another part of his body.

" Do you not know how to leave or at least have the decency to not just walk into my house? Do locks not matter?" Kakashi made a face under the mask.

" It's what happens when you join a all male team." He said as if not really apologizing.

She was so glad that in only a half year more she would be eighteen and old enough to leave this place, and go back to the world she grew up in. She was sick of people not understanding the words, door, lock, privacy, space. It was like they were all homeless, helpless puppies would couldn't even take care of themselves for one second.

She calmed herself less she kill someone. She ran her hand through her sweaty hair. She needed a bath before the mission to rinse away the evidence of her interrupted moments earlier. She wished she would have had just a few more hours with Sasori. He enjoyed talking to him.

" Fine tell me the mission while I shower, and don't even tell me I can't." She said as Sasuke opened his mouth to speak. He shut it with a snap.

So while she waltzed to the bathroom and tossed off the towel she knew they nosed about her unguarded bedroom. It wasn't like she kept anything there to find. All her things info she knew in her mind, and everything else was just weapons except...

" Sakura why do you have an Akatsuki cloak under your bed?" Why was he looking under her bed at all? She slid under the water and washed away the grime and other things. She let the water ease her stressed out muscle and joints.

" I won it in a battle what of it?" She asked and it shut Kakashi up. She was a professional she knew how to lie. They dropped that subject and Kakashi told her the mission.

This time they were going to Stone to sign a treaty a surprise indeed. Sakura wondered if the Hokage was asking her team to this mission because she was born there and needed a guide or because they wanted her to slip in her own town and learn more about her. She wouldn't put either past them, so she was on guard either way.

XXX

The trip to Stone was a very quiet one. Between Kakashi watching her every move, Sasuke staring at her like she'd grown another head, and Naruto just plan out staring she wondered how they could even jump from tree to tree with out one of them falling and crashing to the ground.

She ignored them. She wasn't worried they would find something out about her, she was just wondering if any of the others in the village would have the gall to say something if asked about her. If they told them she was an assassin she would later come back and kill them. She wondered if her reputation was still good there.

Considering she was the best of the best, she did so wonder. Of course it had been a while since she had been to Stone. Even if they signed this treaty with Kohona they were still hiding the fact that they pushed out assassins like Kohona did Ninja. Ninety nine percent of the woman from Stone became Assassin, eight percent of the men as well.

Stone was powerful in that aspect, but not so much since most of the Assassins left their village at a young age like she had.

Regardless of Kohona being a village that had no realist nature, they had a force to back them up less another village attack. She had to appreciate that factor.

Suddenly Sakura was on high alert. Something was wrong. Though as she felt around for foreign chakra she came up short. They weren't being followed, and no one was around. So what was this feeling of alertness as if something had happened. As if something bad was going to or had happened? It alarmed her and she felt the force of the wrongness more so every step she took.

Was something wrong up ahead? Was Stone on alert and setting a trap? Was something ahead that they should avoid? Better safe then sorry. Her assassin's alert she would not ignore. ( That sounds stupid really but I don't know what else to call it spider sense? XD) If she just started ignoring her gut feeling then she could very well end up dead. Her gut had never been wrong before so she purposely missed a step as she jumped and plummeted.

She could have saved herself of course, but she wanted to look as if she were wounded or be wounded when she hit the ground. She could heal it later anyway if so. She just knew they could not go this way any more. Something really bad was happening or going to if they continued onward. She could have just said something like that to her team, of course they could very well ignore her or laugh at her, then she'd have to kill them and this mess would just get bigger after that.

Of course her team being so heroics had to save her so as Naruto and Sasuke at the same time tried to catch her they ran into each other and Kakashi ended up being the one to catch her landing safely on his feet on the ground with her bridal style in his arms.

Wooh buddy did this sensei have muscle or what? She had never seen him shirtless, but the muscle she felt pressed against her was no little thing. Hum very nice. Speaking of the male felt like he had a fever of over a hundred and ten he was burning through her clothes on contact. She felt flushed just being so close to the warmth.

She was slightly concerned that he was running a fever but the small amount of chakra she sent into him that went unnoticed read that it wasn't a fever of sickness, just one of arousal. Touching her had turned him on. She wondered if it was worth the risk to see behind her sensei's mask and see behind those clothes?

She looked up at Kakashi's mask. His lone eye did not look down at her but she felt the fire in it as he looked around. Trying not to focus on her too much. Sasuke and Naruto recovered front heir crash into each other and landed next to him.

" Whats wrong Sakura-chan are you sick?" She must be feeling this warm. But no she wasn't it was just Kakashi, she however did not say that she just signed and looked at her ankle.

" I just missed a step. I'm nervous about going back home it seems and I wasn't paying attention. We should go another way to get to Stone, this way there is a bridge that was tore down years ago. There is another safer way. I was so unfocused I did not realize we were going the wrong way at all." Kakashi hand ran from her thigh slowly to her ankle sending a cold chill regardless of his heat down her spine.

Goosebumps broke out across her arms and the hair at the back of her neck stood on end. It was like the air hand become electrified suddenly at his touch. That was a weird feeling. Not necessarily bad, but not good either.

He pressed slightly on her ankle and she tensed in his arms playing the part of a wounded girl. She could play any role she needed to to get her way. She was an assassin, and if she didn't get her way then she could most likely die as a result. Her act had to be flawless at all times, even now.

" Your hurt." He said. She shook her head.

" Nothing I can't heal later on." She said. He stared down at her the heat in that gaze made her feel like fire, and ice at the same time.

" Let's go the way you said, and then take a break where you can heal yourself." Good she didn't want to stay near this bad feeling more then needed. Every second they stood here the feeling just got stronger. Danger coming perhaps? She didn't know but she didn't really want to wait and possibly fall into a trap.

For some reason Kakashi thought it was a good idea to carry here. She didn't so much mind, it was just the heat he was putting off was making her dizzy. It was like someone drugged her, which of course was impossible because she immune to almost every poison.

She must have went rigid in his arms because Kakashi looked down at her quickly. He was waiting for her to say something but then a wave of blackness took her over and she fell into that sweet relief.

Kakashi went still as he saw her pass out. He had never seen her so innocent. So weak? Perhaps that was the word but passing out wasn't weak given a cause. He wondered if she was putting on a show but as he stared down at her as sweat broke across her brow he knew she wasn't. Something was wrong.

" Kakashi?" Sasuke asked as they all stopped.

" Whats wrong with Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked seeing as how she was getting flushed. Her face reddening. Was it a fever? Wouldn't she have known? She had enough chakra to deal with a sickness, so what was wrong? If she was sick why would she not heal herself?

" I don't know." Kakashi admitted.

" Poison?" Sasuke asked touching her forehead. Knowing she was with a lover when they had interrupted he had perhaps thought Itachi or Neji or someone but maybe it was that red haired guy Sasori. Sakura had mentioned he was a master at poisons did that mean he poisoned her? Why though?

" I've never seen one like this before." Kakashi said slightly concerned. Their medic was maybe poisoned now what? They couldn't go to Stone a place that was still an enemy village with a sick member of the team.

They were not trusted that much. Treaty or not.

Sakura woke and knew what had happened. She smirked until she laughed. That tricky little... Sasori had poisoned her. So the game had not stopped eh? When they had met he had poisoned her and she poisoned him, ever since then they had played that game. If you survived you were worth the time. She hadn't done it in so long that she had forgotten about it.

She supposed he never had. She wouldn't be surprised if he never stopped and the posion he used all those times she was immune to until this one. He tested her and she use to him. When had she stopped? Wasn't that the dangerous game they played? Wasn't that the trill of it all?

Even with the burn of her body, the taste of blood in her mouth, and the cold sweat covering her flesh she smiled in self pity. Not for her anymore. She didn't want to hurt him. What a pathetic person she had become. An assassin not wanting to hurt someone? How low had she fallen really? How depressing.

Perhaps it was time she left Kohona she was getting rusty, it was changing her way of thinking. It wasn't even a year longer she had to stay and yet she was thinking of leaving early which meant she had to complete her mission to kill the Elders of Kohona soon. She's disappear out of Kohona soon enough.

It was funny how Sasori wanted to try to kill her all this time, and she hadn't even thought of killing him. She was pathetic. If it had been anyone else would she have forgotten? Let him poison her? Not probably not. Not even Itachi or Deidara? Not Itachi, but Deidara wouldn't she knew that, but never in all the time she was with them had she really thought of killing them. What a sad assassin she was. She was getting soft. She needed back in the game.

She didn't know this poison. It must be a mix because her body did not know what to do to defend it self. How stupid that she let herself be poisoned let alone that she had passed out in the middle of a mission. Was the poison the cause of the feeling of wrongness she had felt? Or was that something else?

Hopefully Kakashi had listened to her not to go the way she had said and since she was in a bed no doubt in a smaller village not far from Stone. At least her team was smart enough not to go into Stone with her unconscious. Treaty or not.

All she could think right now however was what an idiot she was. She didn't deserve love, to love, be in love, or to be loved. So what on earth was she doing? This was inexcusable. But instead of feeling sorry for herself she would prove she was not weak. She would prove she was worth something. Anything.

So she hovered a hand over her stomach allowing her chakra to probe out the poison to identify it at least. She didn't know the type, but it would take at least a day to remove it all. She would be drained of chakra then but she was an assassin if she was simply a ninja she would rely on that alone, but she wasn't. She didn't need chakra to kill someone. She didn't need it to fight. She just needed it to do jutsu and heal. She removed a great deal but the amount that remained she would leave alone. For now. When they got to stone she would remove more.

She hoped at least she stopped it from spreading. They needed to move. She would not hold them up anymore then she had already. It was shameful really. She was an assassin and she would dang well act like one. No longer would she be soft or kind. She was born to kill, and kill she would. Her mission awaited her and she would accomplish it then get back to work. Dwelling in Kohona longer then she should have weakened her resolve, her mind, and her spirit. She was disgusted with herself.

She was glad Sasori had reminded her of her real life. She could have been killed. She would have to poison him next time she saw him to tell him that she had not forgotten the game they played. She never would again. She smirked, it was self pity but right now she allowed herself to feel it. After she walked out of this room. There was no going back to that kind soft person. She would not become weak.

She would not change. She was who she was. Assassin and all.

Man that took forever. Like two days to write. I just couldn't think anything up. And for those who want to know how Sasori poisoned her well... use your imagination ne? XD

Hope you like that chapter. It was random ne? Bet no one expected that eh? Well For all you Kakashi Sakura lovers it will come along be nice ne? Give me a few more chapters. I'm trying to give you all a little something to think on with Sakura. You all think she's a bad person but here's a chapter that prove she's just lonely. Misunderstood if you will. Give her a chance. Live with the mistakes.
