Chapter 5

Gathered back together, the four began talking. "What now?" Naruto asked. Kakashi handed Naruto a paper with something written on it. "Uhh.a mission?" Sasuke and Sakura gathered around him and read it.

"I thought we were done with missions." Sasuke said.

"Well.you get more experience with more missions, you know?" Kakashi answered. The three looked at him. "Are you going with us, sensei?"

"Only if you all actually need me, but."

"But?" Sakura questioned.

"I'm pretty sure you all can take care of yourselves right now. You can get out of trouble by easily though, so I'm not worried."

He smiled and started to walk away. Suddenly he stopped.

"Oh and one more thing, Sasuke."

"What?" Sasuke asked in confusion.

"Take care of Sakura!" Kakashi said as he disappeared into smoke.

Sasuke looked at Sakura and turned away. His face turned a bit red and Naruto looked at the two blankly. He started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Sakura asked as her eyes narrowed at Naruto.

"Nooothing," Naruto teased.

"Knock it off you two," Sasuke said. "Let's go get this thing over with."

"This is where the note said we were suppose to meet them." Sakura said. "Where are they?" Sasuke looked around. Naruto sat on the ground.

"Might as well wait!" he said.

This is odd; the person who requests the service usually ends up being here first. Sasuke thought to himself. Better keep our guard up. A half hour passed. The sound of wooden sandals made its way to the sounds to all three. Sasuke and the others looked at their contractor, and it was a beautiful woman.

"Hello." A voice said. "Are you the three.?"

Suddenly, Naruto blurted out.

"HEY!! WHY ARE YOU LATE?! WE WAITED AT LEAST A HALF HOUR FOR YOU!"

The woman adjusted her hat. "Well, there isn't any reason to be rude."

Sasuke gave a smug look as he began to talk.

"Well, I'm sorry, but you were really the rude one to make us wait."

"Yeah! Yeah!" Naruto said. "Oh my god! I'm agreeing with Sasuke! Someone kill me!"

Sakura grabbed hold of Naruto and put her hand over his mouth. "Just ignore him. He's an idiot."

She smiled and she let go of Naruto. "Be quiet, Naruto!" she whispered.

"Hmm." the woman said as she leaned closer to Sasuke. "Cute."

Sasuke looked at the woman and backed away from her. Sakura walked in front of Sasuke demanding to know when this mission was going to start.

"Sigh, well.Now. I just need escorts with me while I'm carrying some rare items. I don't want to get robbed or killed for the goods that I have with me."

"Okay, let's get this thing over with." Sasuke said as he turned around and started walking.

Naruto looked at the lady again.

Her voice.this lady really creeps me out. She must be some kind of pedophile or something. Oh well, just another mission!

"Will it ever end? Sheesh, I'm so tired!" Naruto complained. "I want to go home and rest, then eat some ramen, and then some more ramen." Sakura sighed.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself." their contractor started. "My name is Saiwa."

No one took notice, or cared. "Ramen, ramen, ramen." Naruto made a short song of his one favorite thing. Saiwa walked closer to Sasuke and looked down at him. Sakura felt her blood run cold as Saiwa run her fingers down his left arm. Almost like a reflex, Sasuke flicked his arm to get her hands away from him.

"LISTEN! We are just helping you go to this place, wherever the hell it is, alright?! Stop TRYING to flirt with me, or else we'll just leave you to die or get robbed right here!" he yelled out loud.

Everyone stopped in there tracks and looked at him stunned. Sakura felt a wave of relief flush over her as Sasuke looked angrily towards the Saiwa.

She deserved it. That .that! Argh! She makes me SO angry!

Sakura argued with herself if she would say something or not.

Even if he acts cold, I know.that he may be just shy. Though I cannot be sure. Stop backing him up! I can't help it! Why because you like him right? Pfft, not after what happened earlier. It is so hard. You like him right? What does this have to do with anything? Just tell yourself, him, Naruto, everyone! I.I.This.this isn't the time to do that. Sakura sighed and saw that they still were not moving, and the argument inside her head did not last for too long.

"Well, you all are no fun, I thought we had something together Sasuke- kun!" Saiwa said as she took off her robe to let it fall on the ground. She had bandages wrapped all along her body. Naruto and Sasuke's face turned red, but not long enough before a puff of smoke revealed a slender man, with a very petit figure. Gagging, flashes of Sasuke being touched by this one person, Sakura almost threw up. "Now.it's time to play with your mind!"
