Chapter 11: Dirty minds and Missions

Sasuke looked at me then at my inner completely confused "But that's not possible! You can't divide yourself into two... it's just...I mean... you're just..." He covered his face with his hands and then groaned almost painfully. I grinned, dear kami if he thought that this was weird than he better hope that he doesn't meet Naruto's demonic self... or Ami... I think he'd die if he met Ami. Then realization dawned on my face. Oh shit I haven't called Ami yet... She's gonna murder me!

"Oops... I hope you know you're the one who's gonna do the talking and don't even think of switching places with me, when she explodes, 'cause I'll just piss her of more if you do." My inner saidshe gave me her 'I-would-hate-to-be-you,' look and I glared. I wonder who's influence would make me think of a plan to kill her, and make her body into, meat pie. "Sakura you can't kill me," My inner said before pausing a moment, "Oh and you got that 'kill someone and make them into meat pie' is from Sweeny Todd you went to see it with Naruto when we stopped in that one village in the land of birds." I sent her a glare, damn our shared mind... connection ...thing.

"What the hell are you doing?" We heard Sasuke yell he looked so confused, "What?" inner and I yelled "Uhh... maybe you two should calm, down" Naruto said slowly, to stop us from pouncing on Sasuke "What if," "WE don't want," "To fucking" "Calm down!" Inner and I growled at him. He held his hands up in his own defense, stepping back.

"What is going on??" Kakashi-sensei asked again, his eyes, looking from me to her. 'We already fucking explained it to this stupid scarecrow bastard!' My inner ranted inside my mind for once. "I think it's time for you to come back, to our mindscape..." I muttered under my breath, "There's no fucking way I'm going back there, it's been so long, since I've gotten out!" She whined, angrily "You were just out the other day...," I said remembering the embarrassment she had cost me the other day, along with that Naruto did, right in front of Neji too! ER... I meant Lee he probably thinks I'm a freak! No way in hell would I be worried about Neji's thoughts on me... heh heh he.

"Ha! You were thinking about him right now!" I flushed a deep shade of red and shook my head, denying her accusation, "Don't lie to me Sakura, I know what you're thinking just like you know what I'm thinking," When she said this I became very afraid, because a devilish grin accompanied her statement, and like I had feared I was bombarded with mental imagery that was more than I could handle.

She sent me images that contained Neji half naked, sitting on my bed smirking at me, or him being soaked with water, so badly that I could see water running down the curve of his neck, 'damn water never looked so fucking hot!' Outside of my mind my inner was practically drooling, with the stupidest grin on her face, but I could tell she was distracted, and if I wanted to make a move I had to do it now. With a howl, I jumped her "No what're you doing?? Stop-" her angered shout was cut short, when her body fused with mine. Inside my mind, she ranted about how I needed to "get it on" with Neji otherwise, she would jump out of my mind at night and rape Neji herself. I shook my head "He probably doesn't even feel that way about me" I whispered, to myself and to her, and for some reasons my heart seemed to clench in pain at the thought.

--Neji P.O.V.--

Earlier that Morning

I was in my room, there was a dim light shining through my window's thin curtains, I supposed, that it must be, night... "Hey what took you so long, Hyuuga?" I turned to the taunting voice, a voice that haunted me in my dreams. Haruno, my eyes instinctively narrowed. "Why are you here Haruno?" I growled at her, "Now, now Neji-kun, don't be so mean," She said the way she drawled out my name was strange, especially since it was my given name...wait did she say Neji-KUN?? I glared at her; she was sitting on my bed legs crossed, hands in her lap.

"Why are you here?" I asked through gritted teeth, "Well you certainly are impatient today... but to answer your question, I'm here...for you," She whispered the last part dare I say... seductively? She uncrossed her legs, got off my bed and walked towards, me. I stood there studying her, "You know," she began her hands brushing my face, "You never proved to me that you're fearless." Then she stood on her tiptoes, and brushed her lips against mine. I opened my mouth but instead of words, my body developed a mind of its own and I began kissing her, as hard as I could bruising her lips in the process. One of my arms wrapped itself around her waist, while the other moved up and my fingers intertwined themselves in her hair, I heard her moan against, my lips. And I-

"Neji, are you up yet?" Hiashi's voice rang through my head shaking me from my dream, and my encounter with the pink haired kunoichi. I sat up with a groan and opened my eyes to see Hiashi peering into my room with a worried look on is face. Well as worried as a Hyuuga could look that is. "I'm fine," I grumbled giving him a cold stare. My uncle however would not move. "Is there something you need?" I asked through gritted teeth, he gave a sigh "...No," he said, slowly closing my door and walking away.

As soon as I heard his foot steps disappear I pushed myself out of bed, frowning at the coolness in the air, grabbed some clean clothes and made my way to the Hyuuga bathhouses. The hot water was soothing for my tense muscles, and as I relaxed in the bath I allowed my mind to wander... until images of Sakura bombarded me. Groaning I shook my head and blinked several times but I couldn't stop the happenings of my dream from re-playing in my head. Suppressing another groan I ran my hands through my hair "She probably doesn't even feel that way about me." I muttered, and for some reason, I felt my heart twinge at the thought.

--Sakura P.O.V.--

Present...

I grabbed some sealed scrolls and through them into my bag, Naruto and I had already gotten home and told Kyo-sensei about our mission as team seven and with Tazuna the bridge builder. And now here I am readying myself for our departure. I think Tazuna Sasuke and Kakashi sensei are a bit freaked out due to what happened with my inner, and they may still be processing what I told them earlier.

--Flashback--

"Sorry about that," I said sending them (Kakshi, Sasuke, and Tazuna) an apologetic look. "My inner, can get a little wild," I explained, to them "you're what??" Tazuan asked looking very confused, and very, very concerned. "My inner... you know inner persona?" "So you have an inner persona..." Sasuke said looking tired from this whole ordeal and pointing at me with one hand. "Yes Sauke... Stop pointing at me, it's rude." I said, rolling my eyes; he jerked back slightly as though he was in a trance, and I could hear Naruto snicker slightly at his confusion. Tazuna, and Kakashi opened their mouths about to question me, when an oh, so familiar battle cry rang through the air and a creepy looking Etsu appeared.

--End Flashback--

And I suppose the rest is imaginable. "Neko-chan you ready yet?" "Yeah I'm coming!" I yelled down to Naruto, before grabbing my pack swinging it over my shoulder and heading out my door and down the hall to the apartment door. "Alright let's do this!" Naruto yelled pumping his fist in the air with enthusiasm. "Yeah... ok then." I said giving him a –slightly- worried look before we both made our way out of the apartment. When we got to the streets I began humming softly out of boredom when Naruto asked "hey what were you and inner talking about before?"

I stopped stiffening slightly 'oh yes what were we talking about Sakura-chan?' my inner snickered flashing an image of Neji through my mind again. I covered my face and groaned muttering numerous curses under my breath. "Hm? What's wrong?" Naruto asked tugging on one of my wrists. "Um... well we were talking about... er... what Ami is gonna to do me when I finally call her..." I said saying the first thing that came to mind. A wave of relief washed over me with the thought that I at least made some sense. "oh... oh shit! She's gonna fucking murder us!" he cursed his reaction just like mine. "Well duh," I said rolling my eyes "but... hey Neko-chan what else were you talking about?" "What're talking about? I just told you." "Neko I maybe slow sometimes but even Sasu-gay could tell that's not everything..." his voice trailed off and I began walking again more quickly trying to keep put distance between us so he wouldn't be able to see my blush.

Naruto however, caught up quickly "hey come on then Neko... were you thinking about your little Neji-kun?" he asked saying Neji's name sickeningly sweet. "Don't say Neji-kun's name like that," I hissed before I could stop my self. Then realizing my mistake I covered my mouth. Grinning Naruto began his little victory dance. "Ha I knew you liked him!"

"Liked who?" whipping around I saw Kyo-sensei I choked back a gasp as Kyo-sensei came up from behind us. "Sakura likes N-" I kicked him in the shin before blurting out the first name that came to mind "LEE!" I yelled, not stopping to think that, it was not a good idea to yell out the green clad ninja's name like that. Kyo-sensei raised a brow skeptically and opened his mouth, but before he could say anything "yes my youth cherry blossom of the spring time?" was said and my spandex wearing admirer was standing right next to me looking as my with goo-goo eyes.

"Um... what are you doing here??" I asked more than freaked out... and you would be too if a green spandex wearing, and a bowl shaped hair cut, and really really bushy eyebrows boy came up to you when you called his name ran up to you. "You called me and so I came, and I always will my most youthful cherry blossom for you are my life, and I will always protect you with my life- no wait not just with my life, with my very soul!" he proclaimed striking a dramatic pose while lager tears made their way down his face. Kyo-sensei shot Lee a slightly- scratch that a very worried look. And then my favorite broody uchiha came up! Yep Itachi showed up here in the middle of the day... okay so it was Sasuke but hey a girl can dream can't she? 'Not unless it's about Neji-kun! Shanarro!' my inner yelled inside my mind, oh Kami not you again I groaned mentally.

But before she could reply Sasuke dropped another ten places in my cool-people-I-know (not that he was very high up in the first place). "God Lee just give up she's not interested." Sasuke said shaking his head "That's not true, Uchiha-san, she said that she would give me the honor of taking her on a most youthful date!" Lee said fire in his eyes. "yes but she went with me without a second thought,-" This is where I decided to cut that arrogant ass off. "Now listen you stupid little bastard, the only reason I went with you is 'cause I wanted to mend the tension between us... it was a friend date not a real one," I growled through gritted teeth, "so stop being such a prick, grow some balls and leave Lee alone!" "I think you've said quite enough," Kyo-sensei said sternly grabbing hold of my arm.

"How dare you, you little pink haired slut!" I turned to see a mob of Sasuke fangirls. How the hell did they always find him!? "Get away from Sasuke-kun, you little bitch!" "Well why would she need Sasuke when she has me?" Ryouichi's voice sounded from behind me. I turned halfway to glance at him – he was standing just behind me, a hand resting on my shoulder. The fangirls seemed at a loss until one yelled, "She's going on a mission with Sasuke-kun!" And the yelling, screaming, mad squealing and swearing started all over again. I opened my mouth to yell something back...when the most unlikely of people stepped in to defend me. "Now girls I think that you are quite out of line, if you haven't noticed Sakura here is not interested in the young Uchiha. So please, there is no reason to fret over her being on a team with Uchiha-san," I was surprised to hear Kyo-sensei admonishing the fangirls, but even more surprised to see them slowly disperse with nothing more than glares towards me.

"Um, thanks..." I mumbled, shooting a thankful glance towards him. He only nodded, glancing towards Sasuke and Lee. "You should get going." His voice was stern, admonishing me for my words to Sasuke and Lee. "Yea...I guess. Naruto, Sasuke, let's go." The three of us walked towards the village gates meeting up with Tazuna-san and Kakashi, and as soon as we caught up with them we made our way our of the village gates and into the thick surrounding forests.

--later--

We had to have been walking for at lest three and a half hours, but me feet barely ached and I felt as though I could walk late into the night, because we had to walk at a gruelingly slow pace to make sure Tazuna-san could keep up with us. "I ...don't think I... can go... on" Tazuna said between panting breathes he was leaning against a tree, and I could distinctly see the beads of sweat rolling down his face. "Oh come on-" "Naruto stop Tazuna-san is older than us remember? And he's not a ninja; I think he's down marvelous to keep going this long." I said half scolding Naruto and stopping his protests.

This however did not stop the irritated glares both my teammates sent the poor old man. Sighing I dug out a water bottle and handed it to Tazuna, before calling out to my perverted sensei who was to busy being buried in his dirty books to notice the rest off us had stopped. "Yo sensei how 'bout we stop for the night we're running a little low on energy here!" "Hmm? Oh sure thing Sakura," Kakashi replied turning around and walking towards us. After that we set up camp putting up three tents, making a fire, and finding some food. Of course once we ate we were ordered to sleep so we could rise early in the morning and begin traveling again.

I made my way with the boys to the tent, I knew that Tazuna got his own because he had brought it, and I suspected that Kakashi would hog one when; Kakashi stopped me by putting his hand on my shoulder. "Sakura you get that tent over there this one's for us." I gave a confused look "why?" "Well... because you're female and it'd be improper for a young lady such as yourself, to be shoved in a tent with us boys." "Oh" I replied dumbly before walking towards the other tent; once inside I found my pack and realized that Kakashi-sensei must have moved it for me. I quickly set up my sleeping bag and changed for bed. Snuggling deep into my sleeping bag I gave a happy sigh before falling into refreshing sleep.

--Dream land--

I was laying down some where my eyes closed peacefully when I felt something shift around. I should have reacted with an attack but I couldn't my body felt frozen in its place... too relaxed to move. "I know you're awake Sakura-chan" I know that voice! I just couldn't name the owner... then I felt the owner of the voice press his lips to my cheek. I felt his fingers trace lines down my arm. Damn it why couldn't I recognize his voice. 'Oh come on Sakura you know who this hot piece of ass is!' Oh god not this again... I thought before my eyes fluttered open. "Well, well sleeping beauty's finally awake," Neji said his piercing white eyes staring into mine. The words rolling off his tongue nearly made my tremble, and my breath began to quicken as he lips neared mine-

"Oi neko-chan you up yet?" I stirred if the warmth of my bag before opening my eyes. Rubbing my eyes I said "No I'm still asleep dreaming up ways to kill you," sarcasm dripped from each word I said. Then giving my shoulder muscles a quick flex I rolled onto my belly. And slowly the world around me began to disappear; faintly I could hear Naruto saying something. Oh well I'm nearly in Lala land, I thought drifting further into sleep. Then suddenly out of no where I heard I yell... it was Naruto scrambling out of bed I stumble through the opening of my tent. There were four enemy ninja in our campsite.

I stopped dead in my tracks all of the attackers had their backs to me, and silently I began cursing myself for nearly sleeping through their attack. I felt my heart begin to quicken almost hearing it pound in my ears. Damn it this was not the time to freak out, I told myself before hardening my eyes, i quickly scanned the area around me knowing that my time is limited. Then I quickly grabbed hold of a discarded Kunia and charged. One of the ninja chuckled deeply "well looks like your luck has just run out," he said gruffly. One of his men was fighting Kakashi-sensei while the other two were attacking Naruto and Sasuke who were trying to defend Tazuna-san. "I don't think so!" My yelled distracted them and allowed Sasuke and Naruto to get Tazuna farther away while throwing kunia and shuriken at our enemies. "Damn it there's another one?!" "Don't worry I'll take care of the bitch." One of them said jerking around to face me. "heh he lets go girlie," He said to me his rough voice, making it almost threat like.

I hissed at him before jumping up I threw my lone kunia at him before preparing to land a powerful kick. He gave an amused chuckle at my actions as though I was a child not knowing exactly what I was doing. Well I guess I'll just have to show him that I'm no child. He caught the kunia and dodged my kick with great ease causing me to land awkwardly on the ground. I sneered at him, he is good but I am better... at least I hope I am. "Earth animation jutsu!" I yelled, once again, the surrounding plant life grew, and wrapped around my enemy trapping him. I heard him curse me but I ignored him turning my attention to my comrades; Naruto and Sasuke seemed to be doing well enough, Kakashi on the other hand seemed to be struggling against his two opponents.

So as quickly as I could manage I ran over to him as I neared one of the enemy ninja, and I gathered a bit of chakra and threw myself at him. I prayed that I would still be able to tackle him even with my small stature. The man grunted as I made an impact, although I wasn't able to tackle him I managed to catch him by surprise and allow Kakashi to deliver a kick. "Sakura get out of the way!" Kakashi yelled at me, I gave him a startled look before jumping out of the way. Well trying to at least, the large man who I had tackled grabbed onto my arm roughly jerking me towards him.

Snarling at him, I tried to struggle free but to no use; he just kept pulling me closer to him. "Heh I suppose this is your little, student, well isn't this is a surprise Kakashi no Sharingan finally passes a team. I never thought the day would come!" Then man yelled in a mocking tone, growling at him I yelled back, "Well I never thought the day would come when I'd get to meet Momochi Zabuza, the eyebrow-less wonder!" I was mocking him and he did not like it at all, "watch it girl, I would absolutely hate for someone as pretty as you to die for some wrong words." I snarled at him again "let her go Zabuza she's not worth your time," Kakashi said before I had the chance to insult him again. "I don't think so Kakashi," he said he jerked me towards him again, before bringing his gigantic sword closer to me so that it was just barely brushing my neck.

"You see Kakashi the way i see it is that you hand over the old man and I don't kill the girl, it's as simple as that... but if you don't give up the old man then I'm afraid I'll have to break her delicate little neck." I scowled at him delicate my ass... Kakashi however was still trying to get him to let me go. "Zabuza stop she's just a child! There's no need to spill her blood," "ha! A child you say? When I was her age I already had bathed my hands in my enemies blood!" His statement made me stop, and my stomach began turning as I remembered a discussion my class had gotten into.

"That's right..." I said softly "the village hidden in the mist used to be called 'the village of the bloody mist'..." my legs began to tremble and my body felt weak. "Heh well I see that the past history of my former village is still taught to you..." His voice sounded entirely evil, "It's disgusting... to have students kill each other just to become ninja," I said the disgust in my voice clear to him. "heh but it was oh so fun," He replied, "and it sorted out all the weaklings, unlike what you leaf-nin from Kohona ... you're all the same all so weak and all so stupid." I felt my blood boil... how could anyone enjoy killing so much? "There's one think you should know though... I'm not from Kohona!" I yelled preparing to attack.
